Wanxing Mountains, Zhuixian Lake.
The unshaven man stood on the edge of the lake with a sword on his back. He looked at the lakeshore hundreds of meters away, and then toward the center of the lake.
The center of the lake, which was supposed to be rippling blue waves, was now occupied by an icicle flying into the sky.
The hundred-foot-tall pillar was as clear as crystal, exuding a dense cold air that remained unchanged forever, spreading under the moonlight like a waterfall, and the huge lake was completely frozen by it at this moment.
The bearded man smacked his mouth, as if he was frozen by the cold air. He moved and rubbed his arms, sighing with some regret:
"Tsk tsk, luckily I didn't catch up with them alone. With this scale, by the time you report back and come back, I'll probably be frozen in that big ice block."
The two of them were the man and woman who appeared outside the Buddhist hall earlier.
The woman was still wearing the tight-fitting black robe with red edges. She had a slim figure and a high ponytail floating slightly behind her head. She also looked at the huge icicle on the lake and said in a clear voice:
"It's Ran Qingmo from the Sword Sect."
The stubbled man's eyes narrowed, and suddenly he stepped on his feet, and his figure immediately disappeared. When he reappeared, he had already landed on the top of the huge icicle in the middle of the lake.
Seeing this, the woman flashed and followed her. When she arrived, the bearded man was squatting on the ice, gently stroking the surface of the ice crystals with his hands.
The woman looked around and looked down from a high position.
The forest composed of hundreds of meters of giant trees around the Falling Immortal Lake has now been flattened, which shows the intensity of the battle.
After a pause, the woman asked the man:
"What did you find?"
The man squatted on the ground, touched his beard, and said hesitantly:
"The other person who fought with Ran Qingmo doesn't seem to be human."
"Demon?" The woman frowned, thought for a moment and said, "There are not many great demons in this Wanxing Mountains who can fight with Ran Qingmo and become such a transformed demon."
The bearded man smiled slightly, put a palm-sized scale he picked up on the tip of his nose, sniffed it, threw it to the woman, and said:
"It's not those old monsters, it's a female snake."
The woman lowered her eyes and frowned: "Mother snake? Can you see what it is?"
The bearded man pondered slightly and whispered:
"The Qi left behind is a bit like a seven-life locust. And judging from this method and the remaining source Qi, this seven-life locust has probably shed its skin and reached the sixth life."
The man smacked his lips and sighed in a tone of voice: "Tsk tsk... The six-reincarnation and seven-rebirth python will be able to completely stabilize his body in the next life. He is probably an important figure in the snake demon clan in the foreign demon country."
After a pause, the man stood up with a rare serious look on his face:
"It was frozen by Ran Qingmo with this icicle, and it showed its true body and escaped. Looking at this situation, Ran Qingmo doesn't seem to want to confront her head-on."
The woman frowned even more tightly and said:
"You mean, the third young master was captured by Ran Qingmo?"
The man did not answer immediately. He thought for a long time and shook his head:
"Not sure. At least when he fell into the Immortal Lake, Ran Qingmo wanted to protect the third young master. Inform the eldest young master and others that we have found the whereabouts of the third young master."
A trace of doubt flashed in the woman's eyes: "But now we..."
"Let's follow him all the way. The person who kidnapped the Third Young Master has not gone around the corner."
The man waved his hand to interrupt, standing on the top of a hundred-foot icicle, staring at the towering mountains in the distance like a giant beast swallowing the sky:
"They are going to Tianmen Mountain."
.........
The wound on the white tiger's back was hideous and terrifying. Although it had scabbed over, the bright red that had previously spread on the white tiger's snow-like fur was still dazzling.
Xu Yuan, who had just arrived in this world and had not yet been exposed to cultivation, could not deduce more information from the shape and depth of the wound.
But just the fact that Bai Hu was injured was enough.
When he was in a coma, the two of them were able to reach Tianmen Mountain from where they were in four days. It must have been the white tiger that supported him forward.
However, the white tiger, which was his means of transportation when he was unconscious, was injured due to an attack from a foreign object when Ran Qingmo was accompanying him.
During the four days of coma, what happened seemed to take longer than he imagined.
As his thoughts flashed, Xu Yuan looked around again.
Pieces of snow fell from the sky with the bleak cold wind. Under the thick snow, a blood-stained animal bone could be faintly seen.
This discovery immediately made Xu Yuan's heart sink. He glanced at the thin snow wolf on the ground and sighed slightly.
This blood-stained skeleton should be the food that the white tiger had caught and eaten before, and considering the size of the beast's skeleton, they had stayed there for at least a day.
One day...
There were pursuers behind him. What was the reason why Ran Qingmo had to stop and rest?
Xu Yuan looked at the woman in black sitting cross-legged on the snow.
The moonlight caressed her veil, and her inky robe moved with the wind, like a beautiful sculpture.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Xu Yuan's mind and he took a deep breath:
"You are hurt."
His voice was soft and gentle, drifting away in the cold wind of the mountains.
After a moment of silence, Ran Qingmo still closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, but did not deny:
"Um."
"Very heavy?"
"Kind of."
The speculation was confirmed. Xu Yuan raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow, then looked back at the endless forest sea at the foot of the mountain:
"Where's the other party?"
"Her injuries are lighter than mine."
"..."
Xu Yuan was silent.
He thought of the injury on the white tiger's back, and it was probably him who had held her back.
The cold wind is blowing, and the sky is filled with stars.
After a long time, Xu Yuan spoke again, and his words were very serious:
"Feel sorry."
"...."
Ran Qingmo did not answer, just closed his eyes and said calmly:
"Now that you're awake, go up the mountain with it. I'll wait for her here."
As she spoke, she raised her hand slightly and threw a small object to Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan subconsciously reached out to grab it, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw that what Ran Qingmo threw to him was a small ice crystal sword, which was as translucent as crystal.
Xu Yuan asked subconsciously:
"This is?"
Ran Qingmo opened his eyes and glanced at the big white tiger beside him:
"If it moves, crush it."
A flash of surprise flashed in Xu Yuan's eyes.
Just now, he was still thinking about why the white tiger was so obedient to Ran Qingmo in four days. It turned out that Ran Qingmo had tampered with the other person's body.
After a slight silence, Xu Yuan didn't say anything. He held the ice crystal sword in his hand and climbed directly onto Bai Hu's back.
When Xu Yuan touched the bloody wound on Bai Hu's back, he clearly felt the huge body beneath him tremble.
Fortunately, other than that, the white tiger had no other major reaction.
Riding on the white tiger, Xu Yuan looked at the woman in black sitting cross-legged next to him again, remained slightly silent, and whispered:
"I will wait for you at Xuan Tian Ya on top of Tianmen Mountain."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Ran Qingmo's voice was as quiet as when they first met:
"Need not."
Xu Yuan stared at her and repeated unhurriedly:
"I said, I will wait for you at Xuan Tianya."
"..."
Ran Qingmo blinked his beautiful eyes, looking slightly confused.
She was trying to understand why the man in front of her had to wait for her.
Xu Yuan didn't explain, just stared at her calmly.
If Ran Qingmo doesn't come, he can only jump off the cliff.
With the original blessing of 3 points, let alone the cave, if you jump down, you will probably be hung to death by the convex wall halfway through the free fall.
Ran Qingmo couldn't figure it out and shook his head gently:
"I left a breath of energy in you so I can find you."
Xu Yuan made it up randomly, word for word:
"The cave can shield the Qi machine."
Ran Qingmo was silent.
For a long time,
She slowly opened her eyes, raised her head slightly, and looked at the brocade-robed young man riding a white tiger under the moon.
Silence, looking at each other.
Finally, she nodded slightly, her red lips slightly opened under the black gauze covering her face:
"good."
Xu Yuan smiled softly: "Come early."
In silence,
The white tiger instantly turned into a white afterimage and galloped towards the top of the mountain, leaving only the black clothes sitting on the blank snow...
