The carriage drove steadily along the Yunluo Mountains. Snowflakes were flying outside the carriage, and they kept falling. The surrounding peaks and many palaces and Buddhist temples on the mountainside were decorated into a fairyland. Below the mountainside, it was a vast expanse of mist, like a sea of ​​snow.

Jiangyun Prefecture is located in the north, and across the Yunluo Mountains is the uninhabited polar ice cave. The towering Yunluo Mountains block most of the cold waves, and therefore it snows all year round and is extremely cold. Xing Xuan took Xing Yuan away while she was regulating her breathing. They couldn't use the teleportation array, and he couldn't fly a sword, so the two could only take a carriage. Fortunately, these horses were blessed with talismans, so they didn't need to be towed, and they were very fast.

Yao Yue shivered again. She had no magic power, so it was still too cold for her. Although Xing Xuan was already in the Spiritual Transformation Realm, he was wrapped in a black mink coat. Seeing her shivering from the cold, he smiled with contempt.

"The arrogant Chiyu Fairy, now she doesn't even have the power to drive away the cold?"

She knew she was weak and couldn't win the argument, so she turned her head and pretended not to hear. Xing Xuan was annoyed, but then he seemed to remember something and mercifully took off his cloak and threw it to her.

"Here, put it on. It would be pointless if you freeze to death."

She did not hesitate or refuse, and immediately snuggled into the warm mink fur coat, and her pale face finally regained some color.

"How long will it take to reach Muxianzhou?"

Muxianzhou and Jiangyunzhou are both in the north, and you can reach Muxianzhou by following the Yunluo Mountains that stretch across the two states. Muxianzhou has a branch of the sect she founded, and her disciples are in charge, so finding a blessed place to protect her training should not be a problem.

"Don't worry, we're almost there." As soon as the words fell, the carriage stopped.

She followed the man down from the carriage, and suddenly a fierce cold wind blew up the snow, which hurt her cheeks. The carriage stopped at the boundary marker, which was almost buried by the heavy snow. She could vaguely see the words "Muyun Peak". She couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart -

Although the Muyun Peak took one character from each of the two states' names, it was a gray area that the immortal officials of the two states were unwilling to govern. This was because the Muyun Peak was the highest peak in the Yunluo Mountains, and the mountain was extremely steep, with many snow monsters and mandrills appearing and devouring people.

"You..." She turned around and wanted to say something to the man, but her chest suddenly hurt!

She saw the bloodstained sword tip protruding from her chest, and every heartbeat amplified the pain. She gasped in pain and shock, her chest rising and falling rapidly, but she couldn't breathe in any oxygen. Her heart frantically retracted blood from her body, her brain felt dizzy, and her knees softened and she fell to the ground!

The person behind her slowly pulled out the three-foot-long sword that was inserted into her body, and threw a string of blood beads on the snow, like falling red plums, very bright.

Xing Xuan looked down at the woman lying in a pool of blood, a cruel and happy expression that had been pent up for a long time appeared on his face.

If she chose to stay in the Xingji Pavilion, he would spare her life for her brother, but she chose to leave without a second thought... The longer she lived, the more pain her brother would suffer!

"I thought Baili Yaonu had no heart, but it turns out she can bleed."

There are many monsters in this place. If they smell the blood and come, she will be eaten to pieces. The man took a last glance at the girl, whose body was covered with a layer of snow, and stepped onto the carriage without looking back.

Not long after, several mandrills covered with long black hair came over to have a feast. Just as they were about to tear the man apart, a layer of netherworld flames suddenly ignited from the man's body! The flames soared several feet high, and the monsters closest to him had no time to dodge, and the flames burned their hair, and they were burned to ashes in a few breaths!

***

She continued to sink in the ocean of memory and reality, her soul seemed to be separated from her body, and her whole body became light and floating. A soft call came from her ear, like a ray of sunshine descending from the water, which made her regain some consciousness in the endless darkness, until she held a big hand and was pulled into the arms of that hand.

This embrace was warm and generous, making her feel inexplicably at ease.

"Why are you running?"

The man's voice was very low and had a pleasant sandy feeling that penetrated her heartstrings. It was a voice she was very familiar with.

"I……"

The two of them had made a soul contract, that as long as one of them was still alive, he would consume half of his own life span to revive the other. The soul contract still existed after reincarnation, and the lover regarded it as the sweetest oath.

"Only Xingyuan knows the exact time when you woke up." He took out a hand and inserted it into her fingers, interlocking their fingers. "You left with him, didn't you?"

She said nothing.

The man sighed softly, feeling a sense of inexplicable melancholy.

"Where are you?"

She knew Jiang Mi was angry, but she didn't know how to explain it. She moved her lips and uttered a few words dryly: "I'm at Muyun Peak, you help me revive first."

"Nothing else to say?" Even if it was just to lie to him.

She was angry for a moment, bit her lip and whispered, "Your Majesty, please have mercy on me and give me a chance to live."

This was not what he wanted to hear.

But there was not enough time and he really couldn't delay any longer.

The chaotic darkness suddenly tore a white light from under her body, as if she was falling rapidly from the clouds. Everything around her became a phantom, and then became real the moment she landed. The broken wound healed quickly, and she finally heard the whimper of the north wind again.

However, there seemed to be two more people in front of her. Fearing that they were Xing Xuan's men, she simply closed her eyes and pretended to be dead.

Unexpectedly, one of them helped her up, and a strange fragrance instantly hit her nose. The man lifted her hair, seemed to be looking at her face, and finally laughed a few times -

“Hahahaha, I said walking a few more steps wouldn’t tire you out! Look, you found an extremely yin body with a pretty face, which is enough for me to play with for a year or so.”

The two people were a man and a woman. When she was held in the woman's arms, he smelled the fragrance on her body and knew what sect they were from.

——That fragrance is the joy of all living beings in the Hehuan Sect.

As for why she knew it so clearly, it was naturally because she had once been a disciple of the Hehuan Sect.

Her master, the Taiyi Immortal Venerable, returned to the immortal world when she was thirteen years old, leaving her alone to practice in a deep mountain in Tianjun Prefecture. He said that she was the reincarnation of the Tianbang Star Official and could ascend to heaven by practicing on her own.

The internal skills that the old man taught her were very profound, and with her top-level spiritual roots, she could use all six types of magic with ease. She practiced in the mountains for another three years. Although she figured out some moves, she had no one to practice with. She killed only a few ferocious beasts in the mountains, and she was reluctant to use heavy hands on spiritual beasts. She was very bored, so she thought about going down the mountain and entering the world.

The first place she went to was Wanjian Mountain, which was also in Tianjun Prefecture and was known as the best sect in the world. Unfortunately, this sect only practiced the most masculine and strong swordsmanship and did not accept women. She then wandered all the way to the Dazizai Temple in Chiyou Prefecture, which was full of monks and naturally did not accept women. When she arrived in Jiangyun Prefecture, she saw the people in Xingji Pavilion who were writing and painting all day long, drawing talismans and setting up formations, which was not to her taste. Small sects were even more unwilling to accept her. When they saw her skills, they thought she was deliberately looking for trouble, which was quite unpleasant.

Only in the Hehuan Sect could she enter if she wanted to.

She came here with the intention of learning, but was told that the mental skills and internal skills here had to be practiced with the opposite sex, which made her unhappy. Although those fellow disciples and the head of the sect were not ugly, they slept with one sister today and another sister tomorrow, like animals in the mountains having sex regardless of the occasion. She felt it was dirty. So she volunteered to clean the sect's scripture pavilion, and every day she looked for some skills that suited her heart in the sect's collection of books, but she didn't find many skills, but she was full of pornographic pictures.

So not long after, she took the initiative to quit the sect. But the old ancestor of the Hehuan Sect had coveted her extremely yin body for a long time, and he was not willing to let the duck fly away. He asked people to replace the incense in her room with the Joy of All Beings, a very strong aphrodisiac incense. What they didn't expect was that when she was practicing in the mountains, she ate the mist and drank the dew every day, and ate the magical flowers and fruits in the mountains. Ordinary poisons could not do anything to her. What's more, she was already in the state of enlightenment when she left the mountains. If she wanted to leave, who could stop her?

This group of people from the Hehuan Sect were only concerned with their own fun and had no knowledge. They wanted to tie her up without knowing their own limitations, and she just used her as a training ground. After a fight, some died and some were injured. The remaining people saw that they were no match for her, so they accused her of betraying her master and ancestors, and fled to the mountains.

——It turned out that the remnants of the Hehuan Sect were hiding in Muyun Peak.

She was carried by the male disciple, running all the way to the heart of the mountain. Unexpectedly, there is a geothermal hot spring in Muyun Peak. This group of people dug a cave nearby as a shelter. She squinted her eyes and secretly looked at the extremely large circular cave——

A ball of white light hangs above the cave ceiling, just like a bright moon shining in all directions, illuminating everything, as clear as day. The cave is tall and spacious, with five round cave doors lined up in a row on a round wall in the inner side.

The two caves on the far left and the far right seemed to be where the disciples lived. They could hear the gossip from afar. The second cave on the left should be where the elixir and poison incense were refined. There were ancient tripods of different sizes and styles. Red, black and gold smoke rose straight up. Three feet away from the tripod, it condensed into a black lotus, gathering and not dispersing. The second cave on the right was full of furnace tripods that were tied up like her. There were men and women, all of them were low-level cultivators or ordinary people.

The hole in the middle was very deep, and one couldn't see what was inside from outside the hole. She guessed that it should be the old ancestor's residence.

The man threw her onto the tattered straw mat in the cave and patted her face: "Okay, stop pretending, I know you are awake."

She had no choice but to open her eyes and look around. The other people who were tied up huddled in the corner of the cave, seemingly very afraid of the man. Only a black-clothed girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, sat closest to her and did not move.

"If you weren't an extremely yin body, I would have taken you and kept you for myself," he smiled and touched her face, "The mink coat you're wearing isn't cheap, so why would you run to this deep mountain forest to die?"

Yao Yue brushed his hand away calmly and replied with a fake smile, "I had a quarrel with my family."

"That's a pity..." He was about to say something when he was pulled over by a female disciple who was traveling with him. She pulled his ear with a sour look on her face. He was in so much pain that he quickly begged for mercy, "Good Junior Sister, good Lady Yu, I don't have that kind of intention towards her!"

The female disciple named Yu Niang snorted coldly and retracted her hand. She turned her head and glared at her and said slowly: "The last batch sent to the ancestor is almost finished. I will send you in three days. Now that you are here, put away the idea of ​​escaping and serve the ancestor well. Maybe you can live longer."

The girl smiled gently. This smile was very plain, but for some reason, it brought out a bit of blood, as if it was a bit aggressive, but more of it was rich and gorgeous.

This smile obviously made Yu Niang quite unhappy. She gritted her teeth and said, "You are so stupid!" and then took the man away.

After they left, the rest of the people seemed to be relieved. Some of them couldn't help but come up to her and ask her questions, but when they heard that she didn't know how to cast spells, they sat back with their eyes wide open, staring at the stone wall in a daze as if they had lost all hope.

She saw that many of these people had black spots on their foreheads, probably because they had been fed some evil medicine. Only the girl in black had clear eyes and seemed unaffected, probably because she had some foundation. So she took the initiative to move over and talk to her, but she never expected that this person was quite arrogant, and ignored her greeting, just saying "hmm".

Yao Yue was disappointed and was just about to move to a position farther away from her, but his peripheral vision caught sight of a thin callus on the base of her palm and he paused slightly.

Wow, she’s a female swordsman.
