Zuan was somewhat annoyed. "Since you knew this beforehand, why didn't you say so earlier? I feel like I've taken a wrong turn, and now it's completely impossible to change course."
At this moment, Yan Xuehen said, "Although the depths of the Great Snow Mountain are very dangerous, we can try to go around it from the edge."
Zuan was puzzled: "The edge is not dangerous? Why is it that the legends I heard in Yunzhong County say that even the edge of the Great Snow Mountain is extremely dangerous and should never be visited?"
Yan Xuehen replied, "Even the edge of the Great Snow Mountain is indeed dangerous, but that's for ordinary people. With your cultivation level and actual combat strength, although passing through the edge is somewhat dangerous, you should be able to withstand it."
Are you kidding me? This guy can fight me to a standstill, and he just defeated a monster that's thousands of years old last night. His fighting power is definitely enough.
Hearing her say that, Zu'an breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, let's give it a try."
He didn't want to be unable to return and be labeled a traitor. Not to mention that he would have to live as a fugitive among the demons for the rest of his life, he also had family among the humans. How could he abandon them?
"See that finger-shaped mountain in the distance? Let's go that way," Yan Xuehen said, pointing into the distance.
Zuan was somewhat surprised: "You know the way?"
Yan Xuehen explained, "Years ago, in order to better comprehend the essence of the Snowflake Divine Sword, I wanted to find a place in the snow and ice to cultivate in seclusion. Looking at the whole world, the Great Snow Mountain was the most suitable place. Although I was self-aware at first and thought that even the emperor was injured, I should not go too deep, but I still couldn't resist in the end."
"Fortunately, I hadn't gone far when I sensed a terrifying aura and immediately retreated."
She sighed as she recalled the events of that year.
"Even you find it terrifying?" Zuan was taken aback.
"Yes, I even felt the breath of death at that time, so I retreated very quickly," Yan Xuehen said. Although cultivators emphasize going forward without hesitation, it would be pure foolish to knowingly send oneself forward to certain death.
Upon hearing her firsthand account, Zu'an dared not take any chances and became extremely vigilant.
Following the route pointed out by Yan Xuehen, Zu'an gradually approached the Great Snow Mountain. In the distance, the snow-capped peaks shone with golden light under the sun. This time, being closer, they could even vaguely see the shadowy figures of pavilions and towers, like the heavenly court in mythology.
Zu An thought to himself, "No wonder so many people say there's a great treasure in the Great Snow Mountain. It certainly looks extraordinary."
It's called Daxueshan, but it's actually an endless snow mountain range, and there's no way to get around it.
Fortunately, Yan Xuehen pointed the way, and the two entered from a finger-shaped mountain peak far away from the highest snow peak.
Once inside the snow-capped mountains, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply.
Yan Xuehen couldn't help but shiver; clearly, her current cultivation level made it difficult for her to cope with such severe cold.
Zuan supported her while holding her hand, simultaneously channeling heat into her body from both above and below.
Yan Xuehen blushed slightly, but did not refuse. After all, this wasn't the first time, and she was used to it.
However, she still cautioned, "Don't waste your power on me; there could be danger at any moment."
Zuan smiled slightly: "If you get frozen, that would be the greatest danger to me."
Yan Xuehen was stunned. When she saw the warm smile on the other person's face as they turned around, she felt as if something had struck her heart.
As the two continued to venture deeper, the wind and snow intensified, with howling winds mixed with snowflakes cutting into their bodies like knives.
In normal times, such a description would be just a metaphor for a blizzard, but this time it's a factual depiction.
Both of them felt a stinging sensation, and their clothes were even torn in some places.
Zu'an was shocked and quickly shielded Yan Xuehen from the wind and snow with his body.
Yan Xuehen lay on Zu An's back like a kitten, and suddenly felt the surroundings become quiet. As a Grandmaster, her senses were extremely sharp, and she immediately realized that Zu An not only used his body to shield her, but also used his energy to form a protective shield around her.
However, as a result, he himself was left without any defenses. His clothes were visibly torn, and his body was covered in bloodstains.
She was startled: "You need to protect yourself. It's okay for me to hide behind you."
Zuan smiled and said, "It's not that I didn't protect myself because I lacked energy, but rather that I planned to save some to deal with any unexpected dangers. Don't worry, I'm tough and it won't matter."
To reassure her, he even raised his hand for her to see. Although there were some scratches in the torn sleeve, those scratches healed very quickly.
Yan Xuehen had fought with him before and had been with him for some time, so she knew that he had an extremely strong ability to recover. But no matter how strong the recovery ability was, it must still be very painful to keep getting injured and healing and getting injured again.
How did he manage to remain so composed? I suppose he was just being nonchalant so I wouldn't worry.
Is this what it means to be a responsible man...?
Yan Xuehen was somewhat lost in thought.
Zuan then carried her on his back and continued to struggle forward in the blizzard. The wind and snow grew stronger and stronger, and his clothes were torn to shreds—more like strips of cloth than clothes.
Looking at his body, Yan Xuehen felt no shame, only endless heartache and worry.
She quickly said, "This snowstorm is abnormal. The faster you go, the more powerful it seems to be. I've never heard of anyone being able to fly over a snow-covered mountain. Try slowing down and lowering your altitude."
Zuan's heart stirred upon hearing this, and he slowed down as she suggested. Sure enough, the force of the oncoming wind and snow diminished considerably.
