The vast ice plains are white and desolate, with nothing but ice as far as the eye can see, and a cold wind howls in your face.
Lin Fan wandered around, looking for any rare treasures, while also keeping an eye on the distribution of magical beasts in the vicinity.
He sprinkled highly poisonous powder, which could, to some extent, prevent the monsters from coming to disturb him. He did everything he was supposed to do, so as not to give Long Aotian and the others any reason to doubt him.
As usual, they each went off to search for rare treasures and resources.
Buzz
Not far away, a powerful and dazzling light shot into the sky, and a vast pressure surged like a tidal wave, spreading in all directions.
Lin Fan stared at the pillar of light in astonishment, his expression slightly moved. Such strange phenomena in the heavens and earth were either the birth of a treasure or the reappearance of a legacy.
"Could it be that they triggered some kind of inheritance?"
He wondered to himself, "Although the far north is the territory of magical beasts, who can say for sure whether any powerful human beings established their dojos here in the distant past?"
After all, she's the female lead, so it's normal for her to have plenty of luck and be able to trigger inheritances easily. It would be strange if she didn't have anything.
Lin Fan walked over and saw Murong Xuanqiu floating blankly in the pillar of light, seemingly still not having recovered from his shock.
"What great luck!" he couldn't help but exclaim. Looking at her silly and adorable appearance, she probably didn't know that she had received the inheritance.
A female immortal's image condensed on the pillar of light. Her temperament was extraordinary and otherworldly, and she looked at Murong Xuanqiu with a peaceful gaze and a faint smile on her beautiful face.
Then she opened her arms and hugged Murong Xuanqiu tightly. Her body was glowing and became even more transparent.
"Is this how gentle the inheritance is?" Lin Fan exclaimed in astonishment. It was too outrageous. Giving her a warm hug and then giving her the inheritance was truly enviable.
Like the protagonists in male-oriented novels, in order to inherit the legacy, they must overcome numerous obstacles and complete one test after another. Only by passing the assessment can they obtain the qualification.
Murong Xuanqiu's aura surged rapidly, breaking through to the ninth level of the Golden Core stage in the blink of an eye, and showed no signs of stopping.
The celestial figure transformed into countless points of light, merging into her brows and gradually outlining golden patterns, adding to her holy and flawless aura.
Her aura surged, breaking through the bottleneck and reaching the Nascent Soul stage. Pure and powerful essence flowed through her limbs and bones, cleansing every spiritual meridian and improving her physique.
It wasn't until her cultivation level broke through the third level of the Nascent Soul stage that it gradually calmed down and stabilized.
As the light gradually faded, Lin Fan rushed over and saw that Murong Xuanqiu seemed to have grown taller, but she still had a puzzled expression on her face. Upon closer inspection, she was still the same petite figure.
"Junior Sister Xuanqiu, did you just receive some kind of inheritance?"
He asked curiously, and the commotion attracted the attention of the magical beasts. After the pressure of the inheritance dissipated, three fourth-tier magical beasts approached one after another.
"It seems to be a senior called Nine Heavens Mystic Bird!" Murong Xuanqiu puffed out her cheeks, she was also very puzzled.
Just as she was about to search for the elixir, a black, eerie light suddenly fell from the sky and rushed into her body. It was so fast that she didn't have time to dodge.
Lin Fan stared at her in astonishment. What incredible luck! It was as if he was afraid she would get tired after taking a few steps, so he directly gave her a legacy and fed it to her.
"Nine Heavens Mystic Bird?"
Could it be a powerful being from the upper realm?
It's unbelievable! I've been running into people from the upper realm these past two days. Whether it's Empress Tianyao or the Nine Heavens Mystic Bird, their backgrounds are all terrifying.
However, judging from the inheritance that Murong Xuanqiu obtained, the Nine Heavens Mystic Bird must have also perished. It is unknown why the inheritance fell to her.
Looking at her expectant face, which seemed to want praise, Lin Fan smiled knowingly and reached out to pat her little head.
Murong Xuanqiu hugged his arm excitedly like a kitten, feeling wonderful.
"Senior Brother Lin, are you sure Long Aotian will really show up?" Murong Xuanqiu asked curiously.
They've been out of the camp for a while now, but still haven't seen any trace of Long Aotian. Could they be scared...?
"Don't worry, Long Aotian won't let such a good opportunity pass him by!" Lin Fan said.
"Do you think they might see today's inheritance and be too scared to come over?" Murong Xuanqiu asked worriedly.
If Long Aotian doesn't appear, all their hard work in planning will have been in vain.
"Um?"
As the two were still talking, the earth trembled slightly, and the roars and galloping sounds of magical beasts came from afar. Looking up, they saw snow mist drifting, like thick smoke enveloping the sky and earth.
Chu Yunying returned, her face grim, and said, "The monster horde has rioted! A large number of third- and fourth-tier monsters are rushing towards us!"
"Are there any fifth-tier magical beasts?" Murong Xuanqiu asked hurriedly.
If it's a third or fourth-tier magical beast, I can handle it; even if I'm no match for it, escaping isn't a problem.
If a fifth-tier magical beast appears, it will be even more troublesome, and we will have to resort to survival measures.
"Don't worry, they won't provoke a fifth-tier magical beast so easily!" Lin Fan said confidently.
Fifth-tier magical beasts possess combat power comparable to Nascent Soul stage experts. They are extremely intelligent, no less so than humans, and are uncontrollable.
Lin Fan released his divine sense and observed the commotion among the beasts. There were about thirty or forty demonic beasts, which wasn't an excessive number.
Seeing that the monsters had surrounded them from three sides, they jumped onto the carriage and quickly drove away.
Knock knock knock
Behind them, snow dust billowed, and many thick trees were smashed and cracked by the monsters.
唳
The cry of the spirit falcon echoed in the sky, domineering and powerful. The three giant bird-like beasts swooped down, their sharp claws tearing through space and creating dazzling light.
"Oh no!" Lin Fan's eyes narrowed slightly. He hadn't expected to see the Sky Overlord Spirit Falcon. Their speed was unparalleled. Apart from the legendary magical beasts, no one could match their speed.
The peregrine falcon swooped down with lightning speed, and even someone as powerful as Lin Fan could barely track its trajectory using his divine sense.
Shoot Shoot
He condensed a sword formation, and ten thousand sword lights soared into the sky, attempting to use the power of the sword formation to block the demon spirit falcon.
They were incredibly fast. Despite only being at the fourth tier, their speed allowed them to tear apart the flesh of a fifth-tier magical beast with their claw attacks.
A faint halo gathered on the surface of the spirit falcon's body; that was their defense. When the sword energy pierced through, it emitted a sharp screech.
Without the blessing of the Immortal Execution Sword, ordinary spiritual treasures would find it difficult to unleash the power of the sword formation. Under the attack of countless sword energies, they would encounter considerable resistance, and their speed would be greatly reduced.
Lin Fan channeled his spiritual power, lifting massive boulders weighing hundreds of thousands of tons from the ground and placing them one by one in front of him, obstructing the Spirit Falcon's view.
They didn't have time to slow down and rushed straight towards the boulder, instantly scattering rocks everywhere like exploding meteors.
The deafening thunderclap startled the monster, causing it to rampage even more violently, charging forward as if provoked.
Dust filled the air, thick smoke billowed, and the three-headed spirit falcon, having shattered a boulder, was somewhat disoriented and swayed in the air.
A demonic dog leaped up and lunged at his groin. Lin Fan held up two fingers and shot out two beams of sword light, aiming for its eyes.
The demonic dog let out a miserable howl and fell from the carport. Although it avoided its eyes, a gash on its head was torn open by the sword energy, and blood gushed out.
Chu Yunying and Murong Xuanqiu jumped up and joined forces to fight the monster.
The Crimson Blood Demon Horse was very fast, so he patted its head and urged it to flee quickly towards the Ice Valley.
Xi Lulu
Jueying raised its hooves, and then its limbs burst forth with powerful force, transforming into a blur as it fled into the distance.
At the entrance of the Ice Valley, a horde of demonic beasts swarmed in. Chu Yunying threw out a large number of talismans, which quickly detonated. One after another, the talismans exploded with tremendous power, burning in intense flames. The demonic beasts were hit by the explosive energy and were sent flying backward.
They gazed at the raging fire at the entrance of the Ice Valley. The carriage stopped, and the three of them worked together to set up a rune array at the entrance of the Ice Valley. Any magical beasts that rushed in would be attacked by the rune array.
"Is this the formation set up by the demons?" Lin Fan looked at the new formation in the Ice Valley with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
In his previous life, he fell into the demonic path for a period of time, and even fought his way to the position of supreme demon, subduing many powerful demons.
Therefore, he was very clear about the methods of evil spirits. It was an extremely strange killing formation that could seal off space. Anyone who fell into the killing formation would be tortured until they went mad and died.
However, the demon was unaware that the space of the Ice Valley had already been covered by the Seven Star Sky-Stepping Diagram. It contained its own universe and merged with the space of the Ice Valley. The formation set up by the demon was not something he could control.
"Senior Brother, they're about to break in!"
Chu Yunying exclaimed and saw a green frog ten feet tall open its mouth and spew out a jet of water, which directly extinguished the flames at the entrance of the Ice Valley.
Then the magical beasts gathered their innate divine powers, and streams of brilliantly colored energy bombarded the rune array, causing the valley to tremble and collapse.
Just as the rune array was about to collapse, the leading fourth-tier magical beast charged fiercely towards the entrance of the ice valley, smashing the rune array to pieces.
However, as soon as they stepped into the Ice Valley, a strange fragrance filled the air. The monsters, upon smelling this fragrance, staggered and fell to the ground as if they were drunk.
This is a strange poison that has an extremely numbing effect on all living beings. When they were charging into the rune array, Lin Fan sprinkled the poison at the entrance of the Ice Valley to deal with these rioting creatures.
...
“Junior Brother Aotian, I have received information that Lin Fan and the others have escaped into the Ice Valley. Everything is going smoothly, just as we expected!” Wu Qiankun sneered.
Beside him, besides Long Aotian, was Lin Yuetian, the chief of Qifeng. They had wanted to deal with Lin Fan for a long time. After the sect competition, they secretly formed an alliance, intending to keep Lin Fan completely outside Shanhai City.
"I feel like things are going too smoothly, it's a bit hard to explain!" Long Aotian frowned. This was the first time in months that he had been able to target Lin Fan so easily, it felt like a dream, very unreal.
“Junior Brother Aotian, you’re overthinking it. Faced with a well-thought-out plan and overwhelming strength, Lin Fan has no choice but to obediently follow our plan,” Lin Yuetian said with a smile.
Long Aotian nodded. They had also studied the terrain there carefully. With the monsters surrounding them from all sides, they had no choice but to follow their plan and escape to the Ice Valley.
