Upon closer inspection, the saintess's location is also quite ingenious; it is right in the middle of the glacier, a position from which she can survey the entire glacier.
The saintess moved with incredible speed, her entire body gliding through the water like a white flying fish, almost invisible to the eye. She was also extremely tense; she desperately hoped that nothing would happen to Ye Xiruo.
She quickened her pace again. The glacier was very long, and she had already traversed a third of it. She believed that Ye Xiruo was not far away.
When she saw the tiny, transparent bubble in the glacier, her heart leaped into her throat. Even though it was just a bubble, her intuition told her that the person inside must be Ye Xiruo.
The speed of a powerful being in the Integration Stage is incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, they had already arrived at the bubble, and a true energy shield quickly enveloped it completely. This face did not belong to Ye Xiruo, but the aura emanating from it was exactly the same as Ye Xiruo's.
The saintess grabbed Ye Xiruo's shoulder and slid upwards, breaking through the ice and reaching the shore.
Upon reaching the shore, the water-repelling pearl's barrier automatically deactivated. The Holy Maiden grasped Ye Xiruo's wrist—oh no! Ye Xiruo had been injured in the icy river and was now unconscious, her veins and flesh severely frostbitten. If she had arrived any later, Ye Xiruo might have been crippled.
A closer look at this face is truly stunning. A high, straight nose and a pale, delicate face bearing a hint of illness, yet this does nothing to diminish her breathtaking beauty. Upon closer inspection, one can vaguely see traces of her former self on this face, but at first glance, she seems like a completely different person.
Perhaps this is Ye Xiruo's true form, bearing at least 80% resemblance to her sister, even sharing a similar aura. It seems that at the bottom of the glacier, she encountered something that broke the seal, resulting in her current appearance.
Elder Lianqing, Elder Lianchi, and Su Shaxuan rushed over when they saw Sheng Nu emerge from the water with someone in her arms.
The Holy Maiden helped Ye Xiruo up, placing a hand on her back: "You've come at the right time. Protect me. Anyone who tries to approach will be killed without mercy."
"Yes, Holy Maiden."
Lianqing, Lianchi, and Sushaxuan formed a triangular formation, firmly surrounding the Holy Maiden and Ye Xiruo.
The saintess closed her eyes, and pure true energy continuously flowed into Ye Xiruo's body, helping to repair her almost frozen meridians. Now, she not only had to save Ye Xiruo's life, but also ensure that her strength was not affected in any way, even if it meant sacrificing decades of her cultivation.
However, as long as Ye Xi is safe and sound, it will all be worth it.
Lianqing and the other two were overjoyed to see Ye Xiruo alive. As expected of the Holy Maiden, they had searched so many times without finding the young master. They never expected the Holy Maiden to find him in such a short time and rescue him.
However, after seeing the Holy Maiden's actions clearly, the three people's expressions changed again. Ye Xiruo's injuries were very serious, so serious that the Holy Maiden's power had to be used to heal her.
The three of them were deeply saddened. Before their departure, the Holy Maiden had specifically instructed them to ensure Ye Xiruo's safety. Yet, this had happened right under their noses. Now, not only was Ye Xiruo seriously injured, but the Holy Maiden had also been implicated. They were truly filled with the deepest remorse.
Half an hour later, the Holy Maiden slowly withdrew her power, picked up Ye Xiruo, and flew away.
Lianqing, Lianchi, and Sushaxuan quickly followed.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Xuanxuan, you stay here and lead these people. I'll take Ye Xiruo back to the palace first, and Lianqing and Lianchi will follow."
"Yes, Holy Maiden."
The saintess gently tossed an object with her jade-like fingers, and the object instantly grew larger in mid-air, transforming into a crystal palace.
The Holy Maiden carried Ye Xiruo inside, and Lian Qing and Lian Chi quickly followed.
"Respectfully seeing off the Holy Maiden."
Su Shaxuan watched the crystal palace disappear into the distance and then set off a firework. Ten minutes later, all the disciples and elders of Ice River Valley arrived at the valley entrance.
Su Shaxuan immediately took out the white Saintess Token: "Everyone, listen to my command and return to Saintess Peak immediately."
"yes."
Everyone on Mount Saint embarked on their journey home again, many of them unaware of why the Saintess had summoned them this time.
On the enormous celestial ship, Su Shaxuan stood at the bow. Outside, everything was white, and the atmosphere inside the ship was somewhat somber.
“You don’t need to worry. This time, it’s because someone deliberately tried to harm the young master, so the Holy Maiden has gathered everyone here to clean house.”
"Is the young master alright? Have those traitors been executed?"
"Silence! The Holy Maiden has already taken the Young Palace Master back to Goddess Peak. As for the traitor, our Holy Maiden Peak will never tolerate him."
"The saint is wise."
Inside the Crystal Palace, Ye Xiruo lay on the bed, still unconscious. Her external injuries had been almost completely healed, so why wasn't she awake? Could it be that there was something wrong with her consciousness?
"Holy Maiden, please go and rest first. We will keep watch over the young master for now. We will inform you as soon as he wakes up."
"Alright, remember to use Holy Light every half hour."
"Yes, Holy Maiden."
Inside the Time Cultivation Room, Jing Li was also alarmed. She wished she could rush out immediately, storm Saintess Peak, and demand an explanation from Saintess Peak.
“Master, you need to calm down. Saintess Peak is tens of thousands of miles away from our Pill King Palace. By the time you get there, it will be too late.”
"If I had known it would turn out like this, I definitely wouldn't have let Xiao Yezi go to Mount Saintess."
"Junior Sister didn't have anyone to protect her. She must have been ambushed this time." Zishu was also filled with resentment, wishing he could rush to Saintess Peak immediately to avenge his junior sister.
Xiu Qiyu slowly opened her eyes and softly uttered a few words in front of Jing Li and Zi Shu's expectant eyes: "Is Xiao Yezi alright?"
"Are you telling the truth?"
“Xiao Yezi was in a very dangerous state before, and her soul was almost annihilated. Fortunately, I found her in time and awakened her consciousness. However, the environment she was in was still very dangerous, and she could have died at any moment. But it seems that she was rescued, and her condition is much more stable now.”
Because Xiu Qiyu's strength is many levels higher than Ye Xiruo's, their contract is led by Xiu Qiyu, and feels much clearer than Ye Xiruo's.
"That's good." Jingli and Zishu breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, Xiaoyezi was alright, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to continue their cultivation.
"Please rest assured, Palace Master and Senior Brother, as long as I live, Xiao Yezi will be fine. Unless I die."
