Bai Hao immediately clutched the wound on his shoulder, and soon cold sweat poured down his forehead. He quickly circulated his true energy to force out the strange power in the wound, and at the same time, he took out a Rejuvenation Pill and swallowed it. Only then did he slowly recover.
After recovering, Bai Hao turned his attention to the black knife beside him, his eyes flashing. "This knife is really strange. It was actually able to injure my ancient divine body."
Holding the knife in his hand, even though it had lost its power, Bai Hao could still feel the residual power within it the moment he held it. It wasn't powerful, but rather strange.
It was filled with coldness and darkness; holding it in your hand felt like it affected your entire mood, making your chest feel tight.
"I remember this sword's name is 'Thousand Scenes,' a nice name, but it doesn't suit the sword at all. This is a demonic sword." After thinking for a moment, Bai Hao put the sword into his storage bag.
This was the first time he had encountered such a bizarre weapon, and it certainly had research value.
As for who this Qingyang was... he wasn't very concerned about people who were already dead, and although he was a bit strange, he didn't pose much of a threat to Bai Hao. The only wound was caused by that black knife.
He didn't care whether he was a member of the Divine Sea Sect or had some other identity.
The person is dead, why bother with him?
"The Divine Sea Sect has lost another elder. They've really fallen into depravity." Bai Hao shook his head helplessly. Zhao Ling led a group of disciples to cause trouble for them, but they were all wiped out.
Even if they wanted revenge, they should have banded together. It would have been possible if all the elders had attacked together. Instead, they're coming up one by one to their deaths, which is simply courting disaster.
"It's better if they go and die on their own. It saves me the trouble of dealing with them. Let them die one by one until the Divine Sea Sect falls into ruin."
He had no sympathy for the current state of the Divine Sea Sect; it was all their own doing.
Moreover, just like the Fallen Sea Sect back then, as long as the Divine Sea Sect fails to find someone to take charge, and with its elders dying one by one, the destruction of the Divine Sea Sect will be truly unstoppable.
It might even be worse than the fate of the Fallen Sea Sect back then—the Fallen Sea Sect had Su Yuewan in seclusion as a hope, but now, the sect leader of the Divine Sea Sect is completely crippled.
Bai Hao felt no sympathy for them, only a cold laugh.
On the way back, he didn't encounter anyone from the Divine Sea Sect. Bai Hao returned to the sect smoothly, and his wounds healed automatically on the way back—the Ancient Divine Body was no joke.
...
Time passed slowly. After returning to the central gate, with nothing else to do, Bai Hao continued to enter the ancestral land to refine the cold energy.
He could basically ignore the cold air in the central part of the ancestral land. His ancient divine body had given him a terrifying boost in resistance to cold air. Even when he entered the depths of the ancestral land, he did not feel the cold air as intensely as before.
In just five days, he completely refined the deep-seated cold energy. Although his physical body did not receive further enhancement from the system this time, the cold energy itself also had an amplifying effect. After five days, Bai Hao's physical strength became even stronger.
"In the end, all that's left is the chill of the Cold Nether Cave," Bai Hao murmured, his gaze fixed on the mountain peak where Su Yuewan was.
Almost ten days have passed, and Su Yuewan still hasn't made a move.
He should have asked her how long she was going to be in seclusion.
But you can go now.
"I should be able to refine the cold energy of the Cold Nether Cave now. Let's see how she tries to drive me away this time."
Thinking back to how much Su Yuewan looked down on him back then, he was furious.
But in less than ten days, he has already made a qualitative leap, which will definitely surprise Su Yuewan!
Maybe he'll be able to turn the tables and make sarcastic remarks later.
Thinking of this, Bai Hao couldn't contain his excitement and quickly walked towards the cave on the mountain.
Arriving at the familiar cave entrance, Bai Hao treaded lightly, afraid of disturbing Su Yuewan's meditation. This time, he expected the cave to be as dark as before, but to his surprise, it was brightly lit.
Inside the cave, soft light illuminated the entire cave and the ice bed.
However, Su Yuewan was nowhere to be seen on the ice bed.
Bai Hao was taken aback. "They're not here? When did they leave? I didn't even notice."
He had been outside but hadn't seen Su Yuewan come out, and the other members of the sect didn't know that Su Yuewan had come out either.
"They really went out without saying a word." After confirming that Su Yuewan was not in the cave, Bai Hao was about to sit down and try to absorb the so-called strongest cold air here.
But as soon as he turned around, he suddenly saw the entrance deep inside the cave—this cave was not shallow, but could be extended further in, it was just that because the walls were all made of ice, it was not easy to see from the outside, but Bai Hao had always known this.
"She seemed to have said that it was the source of the cold energy in the Cold Nether Cave. Perhaps we could go in and take a look."
Without hesitation, Bai Hao headed straight for the passage deep inside the cave.
The passageway inside was not wide, only wide enough for one person to pass through, and the further you went in, the colder the air became.
Even with Bai Hao's ancient divine body, he couldn't help but feel a chill in the face of this cold air.
"It seems Yue Wan wasn't lying to me after all. The chill in this Cold Nether Cave is indeed extraordinary. Even now, I can't ignore this chill." Rubbing his arms, he continued walking forward.
The cave passage was quite long, and it took Bai Hao several minutes before the situation gradually improved.
The cave was quite spacious at its depths, with the sound of flowing water all around. In the very center of the cave was a platform with an ice coffin on it—carved directly from a huge block of ice.
Through the thick ice coffin, you can see a person lying inside!
"There's actually someone lying in a place like this?"
Upon seeing the ice coffin, Bai Hao's curiosity was piqued. Just as he was about to go up and investigate, a clear shout rang out in the cave.
"stop!"
Su Yuewan walked out of the other cave entrance.
"Sect Master, so you're here." Seeing that it was Su Yuewan, Bai Hao wasn't nervous at all.
He wasn't afraid of Su Yuewan; what he feared was the person in the ice coffin suddenly standing up and speaking—that would be truly terrifying.
"Who let you in here? Get out!"
Su Yuewan's face was cold, and her tone was unquestionable, leaving no room for negotiation.
"It's just coming in. I'm not afraid of the cold here anymore, so don't worry." Bai Hao thought Su Yuewan was worried that he couldn't withstand the cold.
But Su Yuewan's expression remained unchanged, as cold as the surrounding ice.
I said, you can get out!
Every word was ruthless, leaving no room for negotiation!
