Ruan Xiyan not only absorbed the surrounding demonic energy into her body, but also plundered demonic energy from the Snow Monster King.
As the demonic energy it had refined over many years gradually disappeared from its body, the Yeti King was completely panicked, while the human opposite it had a rosy complexion and showed no signs of being affected by the demonic energy.
"Stop! Stop!"
It wanted to retract its demonic energy, but it was too late; the demonic energy was stripped from its body.
It craved power and spent its entire life pursuing immense power, but now it can only helplessly watch as the vast power disappears from its body, finally returning to a stagnant, still state.
This feeling was even more unbearable for it than killing it outright.
Ruan Xiyan absorbed all the demonic energy into her body at once, and she didn't feel good.
The Yeti King was right. To bear the terrifying power of demonic energy with a mortal body is tantamount to suicide.
Fortunately, her blood-red eyes could temporarily seal the demonic energy within her body, allowing her to slowly refine it.
However, the process of sealing and suppressing was extremely agonizing.
A bead of cold sweat slid down Ruan Xiyan's forehead as she gritted her teeth and persevered.
"Ayan." Junyu looked on with heartache.
But he knew that there was nothing he could do at that moment; he could only watch helplessly.
Just by looking at it, you can feel the pain as if it were your own.
Time passed slowly, and the demonic energy was completely contained. Ruan Xiyan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
The Yeti King collapsed weakly to the ground, looking as if he had aged several years.
It repeated incredulously, "Impossible! Impossible! This is impossible!"
Such terrifying demonic power, which it had refined for many years without ever truly mastering, how could it be so easily absorbed into a human's body?
What happened next completely overturned its previous understanding, making it seem like a joke.
The jade zither, suspended in the air, flew towards Ruan Xiyan, circled her once, and finally landed in front of her.
Seeing Yuqin's actions, Fengling's excited voice rang out in the space, "Master, it wants to recognize you as its master. Don't hesitate, quickly form a contract with it."
"Although I can't tell what grade this jade zither is, it's definitely no ordinary weapon. We might as well take it." Feng Ling was even more excited than Ruan Xiyan.
Ruan Xiyan did indeed have the idea of a contract.
Just as Feng Ling said, there's no harm in it all. This trip even resulted in getting a jade zither for free, a truly rewarding experience.
She dripped her blood onto the jade zither, establishing a contractual relationship with it.
The originally dull jade zither emitted a bright light, and information about the jade zither automatically entered Ruan Xiyan's mind.
This jade zither is called the Mysterious Sound Ancient Nether Zither. It can be used for both offense and defense, and can disturb people's minds with sound waves to destroy their spiritual consciousness.
The strength of the sonic power she can unleash depends mainly on her skill level.
The stronger the skill, the stronger the sound waves produced.
Seeing that Yuqin, whom it had tried so hard to subdue, had instantly recognized Ruan Xiyan as its master, the Snow Monster King was provoked and frantically waved its claws wildly.
He wanted to pounce on Ruan Xiyan without any regard for anything else.
Ruan Xiyan stood there without moving, looking at the ancient zither floating in front of her, her fingers gently plucking the strings.
A sonic attack swiftly struck the charging Yeti King.
"Pfft—"
The Yeti King suddenly froze on the spot, countless bloody holes bursting from all over its body.
It also had two bloody holes in its legs, making it unable to stand up any longer.
It fell to the side, its head drooping lifelessly.
"Dead?!" Yu Qiqi walked forward curiously and kicked it with her toe.
The Yeti King remained motionless, completely lifeless.
"Yuqin's power is so great!" Lin Muze's eyes widened. "The Snow Monster King was defeated just like that! Sister Yan is awesome!"
Lin Muze couldn't help but cheer.
It's unbelievable that they actually managed to complete such a difficult Heaven-level mission.
Not only did they find it unbelievable, but probably everyone in the Ice Feather Palace never imagined they could eliminate the Snow Monster King.
Yu Qiqi said happily, "With the Yeti King defeated, there is no leader on the Blizzard Plains. I'm afraid that until a new leader is formed, the Yetis will fall into endless infighting."
"That's good. With them vying for the leadership position, they won't have the energy to harass the nearby villages, and the villagers in those villages can finally live a peaceful life."
Lin Muze and his team were there studying how to dissect the Yeti King so that everything on its body could be put to good use.
After all, the Yeti King is full of good things, so we can't waste them.
Jun Yu walked to Ruan Xiyan's side and asked, "Ayan, how are you feeling? After absorbing so much demonic energy, can your body still handle it?"
Ruan Xiyan casually sat down in a relatively well-preserved spot in the palace. She patted the seat next to her, indicating that Jun Yu should also sit down.
"I am confident that I can withstand this force."
After Ruan Xiyan finished speaking, she stared intently at Jun Yu with her clear and cold eyes, "You know about demonic energy, you're not from this continent, are you?"
Although she was asking a question, her tone was full of certainty.
"Yes," Jun Yu admitted frankly.
"Is there something important that you've come to this lower-level continent for?" Ruan Xiyan asked, puzzled.
Compared to the cultivation continent, or even the highest-level Nine Provinces continent, spiritual energy and resources are the scarcest on the lower-level secular continent.
Just like in remote, impoverished areas, no one would willingly descend from a higher level to a lower one unless absolutely necessary.
“Yes, Ayan, finding you was more important than my own life. Fortunately, I found you,” Junyu said, word by word.
