Chapter 377 Reason
Ji Rong looked at the boyish, bald-headed Leng Hexia, hesitating to speak. Leng Hexia, sitting on the main seat, then grinned and asked, "The other day, some of our clansmen reported that a phoenix was born from fire beneath Sunset Abyss. Qing Ji Zi, is that colorful phoenix you?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong immediately suppressed his laughter and said seriously, "It is I. These days, I have been following the firelight all the way to Sunset Abyss. I have come to visit you to ask, two Immortal Lords, what plans you have for the Golden Crow called 'Extreme Yang Immortal Lord' in Sunset Abyss?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Hexia, who appeared to be a young man, immediately exclaimed, "So the 'Immortal Lord of Extreme Yang' is a Golden Crow that is still alive. No wonder the ice in Sunset Abyss has been melting recently."
It's a pity we can't walk beneath the spirit fire; otherwise, it would be good to go and see it.
After a long silence, Leng Hezhong raised his dry eyes and asked, "Young friend, do you see any difference between me today and in the past?"
Seeing the serious expression on Leng Hezhong's face, Ji Rong swallowed the truth and falsehood she had prepared to say, and only said, "The two immortal lords look very haggard."
Upon hearing this, Leng Hezhong and Leng Hexia exchanged a glance, then nodded and sighed, "Our current state is a direct result of that raging fire."
Sunset Gap was once the dwelling place of the sun, the source of glacial waters, and a place of great prosperity.
But this place has undergone many changes and has become the thousand-foot-high ice formation it is today.
The ice layer, dark and cold, accumulated and slowly sank to the bottom, and from this ice essence was born in the glacier, and thus we came into being;
Those with broad knowledge in the world all know that we, the sisters of the Lenghe clan, need to rely on ice to survive.
Now, a golden crow is still alive in that raging fire. The golden crow that has transformed into the sun has always possessed the essence of the sun's fire. The longer she stays there, the faster the ice layer of Sunset Abyss will melt, and the ice layer of the glacier will also melt.
As time goes by, even if my sister and I exhaust our frost power and return to our Ice Souls, we probably won't be able to freeze this accumulated ice water back into its original state.
"When the water level rises, Juzhou will be in grave danger."
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Why did you two immortal lords keep ordering your subordinates to throw garbage into the fire?"
Leng Hezhong replied somewhat awkwardly, "Young friend, you are unaware that we have been living in seclusion here for many years and cannot distinguish between ordinary spiritual fire and solar essence fire. Therefore, we previously thought it was just ordinary spiritual fire."
"The spiritual veins of Sunset Abyss have dried up, so we thought we'd throw some extremely cold things down there, and once the fire burns out, it'll be fine."
Ji Rong nodded, and continued, half-truthfully and half-falsely, "The two Immortal Lords don't need to worry too much. I went there to check. That Golden Crow Immortal Lord has no real power; he's essentially a pseudo-sun."
You kept throwing meat into her fire, which made the Golden Crow Immortal Lord think that you liked her. She said that the "offerings" presented to her by the creatures of Juzhou were not tasty, but they were truly sincere to her.
She never wanted to go out and compete with Xi Jun for glory; she chose to hide here because you are not favored by Xi Jun.
Now she feels that you are good to her, and she has even developed the idea of staying here permanently so that the creatures here can live better, so that the believers will stop feeding her rotten fish and shrimp all the time.
"Oh, my two immortal lords, should I go and persuade her to leave again?"
The two immortal lords of the glacier don't really need the sun; they only need sunlight when they are born and when they die.
But the other creatures on the land of Juzhou desperately need the sun.
Because the Lord of the Sun only wanted to stay on the desolate Frost Plains, three hundred miles from Sunset Abyss, and refused to go any further.
This perfunctory exercise of power resulted in half of Juzhou being covered in snow year-round, and the creatures could only survive by fishing. Gradually, the number of land creatures decreased, and the mountains and rivers became desolate.
Whether or not to accept this golden crow, and where to enshrine it afterward, are matters of great importance to the creatures of Juzhou.
Although Lenghezhong and Lenghexia have attained immortality and dominated Juzhou, they can be considered benevolent rulers. They need to consult with other major clans living in Juzhou before making a final decision.
After all, once the false sun rises, the ice layer will inevitably melt, and the tribes on the ground will be responsible for cleaning up the garbage left on the surface.
So He said, “This matter is not something we can decide on our own; it requires the joint discussion of all the people of Juzhou. Young friend Ji, would you like to stay at my humble abode for a while and await good news?”
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong knew that Leng He was moved, and she smiled and said, "If the Immortal Lord is so kind, I will naturally comply."
Rong remembered that the Golden Crow had obtained a fire seal. She planned to visit her again the next day to ask if the fire had diminished.
Upon hearing this, Leng Hezhong's face lit up with joy, and it said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, young friend."

With Xi Tong's matter temporarily settled, Shan Shui, who was sitting next to Ji Rong, made a move.
Like a cub, it stretched out its wings and claws, constantly tugging at Ji Rong's wings. Ji Rong could only lower its slender neck. Only after hearing the whispers of the mountains and rivers did it raise its head and ask, "Two Immortal Lords, when I came, I heard that the Hundred Sons of the Mountain were scattered throughout the Nine Provinces, seeking to become the masters of the Mountain. Have the two Immortal Lords seen them?"
Leng Hezhong had been watching their actions closely. It looked at the rather ordinary-looking white goose beside Ji Rong and asked with a puzzled expression, "Young friend Ji, who is this person next to you?"
Shan Shui immediately looked at Ji Rong, and seeing Ji Rong nod, he stood up, stepped forward, and asked, "Great Cold Immortal Lord, which of the hundred sons came here? Are they still alive?"
The cold river is a naturally different species, with an innate affinity for ice and snow.
Having not paid much attention before, when Ji Rong carried this ordinary goose into the cave, I thought to myself that this little white goose was lucky.
Now, as the little white goose stood up and spoke, Lenghe noticed something amiss. It told him that the goose seemed to have no cultivation, but as soon as it spoke, the surrounding water and soil, along with the ice, trembled slightly, as if in response.
"This must be a reclusive deity!" Leng Hexin thought to himself, and immediately lifted his body off the ice seat. He respectfully bowed to the mountains and rivers, saying, "May I ask which temple you belong to?"
Seeing that it had been recognized, the landscape had no choice but to revert to its original form.
He also cupped his small, chubby hands and returned the greeting to the cold river, saying, "I am the god of mountains, rivers, veins, and land. I have come to the blessed land of the immortal lord, but I have not revealed my identity. It is my fault for being impolite."
Upon hearing this, Leng Hezhong replied, "I dare not accept such praise. Your presence is a great honor for Juzhou."
Shan Shui raised his eyes and looked into the cold river, saying, "The Hundred Sons were born because of me, and we have a natural connection with each other. However, since I came to the land of Juzhou, I have not received a single response. Has the Immortal Lord seen them?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Hezhong said with slight distress, "I have seen it. My sisters and I caught a total of six."
Upon arriving in Juzhou, they roamed about wildly, causing the ice to crack and disrupting the lives of the creatures on earth. We captured them and imprisoned them in an ice dungeon.
