"Ling'er, thank you very much."

Mo Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took out the healing pill and took it.

Xiao Ling, who was still lying on the ground, gave a bitter smile. If it weren't for her, Mo Ziyan wouldn't have been in danger.

After Mo Ziyan simply treated the shoulder injury, she came over to help Xiao Ling up and sighed, "Ling'er, what should we do now? Neither our spiritual power nor the exercises we use can resist this strange cold."

“I, I don’t know either.”

Xiao Ling had a sad face and was shivering from the cold as he hugged Mo Ziyan.

"The real purpose of the test should be to let us overcome the frost and defeat the ice puppets. However, this severe cold is so piercing that my limbs are frozen stiff. This is not a test that can be overcome by willpower alone."

Mo Ziyan frowned slightly and lowered his head to think about how to deal with the situation.

"What an unreasonable test! I don't want to be the Holy Maiden of the Ice Flame Sect."

Xiao Ling was complaining bitterly. She came here just for some rewards. She never thought that she would be brought into such a place without any explanation and now her life was in danger.

Mo Ziyan felt helpless after hearing this, and comforted him softly: "Ling'er, don't be depressed yet. Our top priority is to leave here alive. If we pass the test, there may be other rewards."

"But how do we get through? We definitely can't beat them by fighting. Zi Yan, let's take advantage of the effectiveness of the Xuanli Fengshen Formation and set up a defense formation to protect ourselves."

Xiao Ling was not proficient in trapping arrays. With the level of the Xuanli Conferred God Array, the ice puppet would break free from its restraints in a short while.

"This is the only way. We have no way to deal with the Ice Golem for now. The longer we can delay, the better."

"In that case, I will directly set up the Qingwu Chuilong formation."

As Xiao Ling spoke, he loosened his grip on Mo Ziyan's hand and took out a piece of broken wood that contained infinite spiritual charm from his storage ring.

Mo Ziyan looked surprised and asked, "Ling'er, the Qingwu Chuilong formation is extremely expensive to set up. Not only does it cost life and spirit stones, but it also requires Fengqi Wutong branches. Are you sure you want to do this?"

The Phoenix-Rest Wutong Branch, as the name suggests, is a broken branch from the sacred Wutong tree where the legendary demon beast Phoenix once roosted. And it is not just any broken branch, but must be a sacred wood that has felt the charm of the Phoenix in the Phoenix's nest.

In order to set up the Qingwu Chuilong formation, the Phoenix Resting Wutong Branch is a must. With Xiao Ling's cultivation level, he is not even qualified to witness the phoenix with his own eyes. He only got a few spiritual woods by chance, and now there is only the last one left. Once it is used up, it will be difficult to find the Phoenix Resting Wutong Branch.

"The Phoenix-Rest Wutong Branch is indeed precious, but didn't I go to so much trouble to find it just for times like this?"

Xiao Ling did not feel distressed. He threw the Fengqi Wutong branch into the air and raised his hand to make a magic seal.

Now that things have come to this, she can only hope that the Qingwu Chuilong Formation can protect herself and Mo Ziyan a little longer, long enough for Lu Tianjiao to come and rescue them.

Mo Ziyan did not place her hopes on Lu Tianjiao. She knew that Lu Tianjiao must be facing a test that was almost the same as theirs. Even if Lu Tianjiao could pass the test, he would not be able to reach their vision.

Just as Xiao Ling took out the spirit stone and was about to successfully set up the Qingwu Chuilong formation, another biting cold wind blew, freezing her so much that her brain went blank and needle-like pain spread through every pore of her body.

The two ice puppets then broke free from the Xuanli Conferred God Formation and ran towards the two women, waving ice blades.

Xiao Ling's face showed fear. She struggled to endure the severe cold and continued to set up the formation. However, what made her despair was that this time her spiritual power was really frozen, and at least half of the spiritual power in her body's sea of ​​​​energy could not be mobilized.

With Xiao Ling's cultivation level at the early stage of Yuanhai Realm, he only had half of his spiritual power left and was simply unable to set up the Qingwu Chuilong Formation.

"Ling'er, be careful!"

Mo Ziyan didn't know that Xiao Lingyuanhai was frozen, so she stood in front of her in the severe cold, hoping to buy time for her with her life.

Xiao Ling was not afraid this time. She pushed Mo Ziyan away with all her strength and ran towards the two puppets instead of retreating.

The cold made Xiao Ling's steps very stiff when she ran, and there were some tears of fear in the corners of her eyes.

In the face of death, how many people in the world can be truly fearless?

But even though she was afraid, Xiao Ling knew very well that she was no longer of any use without being able to use the Qingwu Chuilong Formation. It would be better for her to die to buy time for the extremely powerful Mo Ziyan.

“Ling’er!!”

Mo Ziyan tried to stop them, but her limbs were frozen stiff and she couldn't blow out a melody that could stop the two ice puppets.

Just as Xiao Ling was about to be split into two, a sword light suddenly appeared.

With just a crisp sound, the two ice puppets instantly broke into pieces and turned into ice cubes that scattered all over the ground.

Xiao Ling stopped in his tracks and looked ahead with a dazed look on his face.

Mo Ziyan was also stunned. If she remembered correctly, the move just now should be the secret sword technique of Tianyun Pavilion, the Nine Swords of Wuzong.

The Nine Swords of Wu Zong are extremely powerful and emphasize the killing with one strike. It is the strongest sword technique in Tianyun Pavilion, but it is also extremely difficult to practice because of this. Even if one is very talented and works very hard, it will take at least several decades to practice.

Tianyun Pavilion does not specialize in swordsmanship, and the Nine Swords of Wuzong can only be obtained by those with a true inheritance or above. Few geniuses would spend time practicing the Nine Swords of Wuzong, so when Mo Ziyan left Tianyun Pavilion, she only remembered that two people had mastered the Nine Swords of Wuzong.

One is Jiang Zhige, the leader of Tianyun Pavilion, and the other is Lu Tianjiao, the supreme elder of Tianyun Pavilion.

Lu Tianjiao put away his sword and slowly walked over from not far away. He apologized to the two women, "Sorry, I'm late."

With his level of cultivation, it was certainly not that he was late. In the Flame Prison Trial on the other side, he could deal with the Fire Rock Puppet with just one move.

The reason why he showed up at this time was just to see how Xiao Ling would perform in a crisis. After all, his main purpose in following the two women was to find out Xiao Ling's character for Jiang Zhige.

Now it seems that Xiao Ling is not only a good person in normal times, but also a very reliable partner at critical moments.

Xiao Ling came back to her senses after hearing the voice. She looked at Lu Tianjiao with tears in her eyes and said in a trembling voice, "Uncle."

At that moment just now, she thought she was dead. The relief and gratitude she felt for returning from the brink of death at this moment was truly indescribable.

"No need to thank me, we came here together to lend a helping hand."

Before Lu Tianjiao could finish his words, Xiao Ling suddenly rushed over and hugged him.

After the ice puppet was dealt with, the biting cold had disappeared, but there was still some chillness in Xiao Ling's body. She hugged Lu Tianjiao tightly, feeling so warm and safe in Lu Tianjiao's arms.

"Xiao, Miss Xiao"

Lu Tianjiao's old face turned red and he was at a loss for a moment.
