[The screen changes to where the Dark Lord is. It was a dim cave with a faint black mist surrounding it, like a dark abyss swallowing everything. In the cave, the Dark Lord sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, and he wore a black robe without any wind. His face was full of wrinkles, as if he had experienced countless years of wind and frost, but the light in his eyes was like the stars in the night sky, shining with depth and mystery.
Suddenly, the air in the cave began to flow, as if an invisible force was gathering. The Dark Lord's eyes slowly opened, and two rays of light shot towards the ceiling of the cave, as if they could penetrate everything. With a flick of his finger, a black aura shot out from his fingertips and shot straight to the top of the cave. That aura echoed in the cave, as if it was telling something.
[The screen changes to outside Lord Dark’s cave. An elder in gray robes stood at the entrance of the cave. His eyes were deep, as if he could see through everything. He looked at the black spiritual energy rising in the cave, with a trace of surprise in his eyes.
"I didn't expect Li Lingyun to practice so hard." The elder whispered, with a hint of appreciation in his voice.
At this time, another middle-aged man in a blue robe came over, his eyes also staring at the cave.
"I didn't expect the young sect leader to be so hardworking." The middle-aged man said, with a hint of admiration in his tone.
The two stood at the entrance of the cave, and the black aura in the cave gradually dissipated in the night sky, as if telling a story of unknown bitterness and persistence. 】
The Dark Lord frowned slightly, his face a little gloomy. "Not discovered yet?" He said solemnly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice. "Yes." The elder lowered his head, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "Anxiang has tried his best, but so far there is still no trace of the Huanyue Ancient Mirror." "This ancient mirror has disappeared for hundreds of years, and the clues have long been cut off. How can it be easy?" The middle-aged man sighed and said. "Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now." Lord Dark waved his hands and looked into the distance, seeming to be thinking about something. The cave fell into silence again, with only the faint black mist filling the air, as if telling a story of loss and helplessness.
"Alas, although the Huanyue Ancient Mirror is important, the young sect master does not need to be too persistent." The elder sighed softly and said, "As far as I know, the Huanyue Ancient Mirror is closely related to the Ice Flame. If you want to find To see the Huanyue Ancient Mirror, you must first find the Ice Flame. And the Ice Flame is hidden in the extremely cold place."
Lord Dark's eyes moved slightly, as if he was thinking about something. "The extremely cold place...the ice flames..." He murmured in a low voice, tapping his knees with his fingers. "Although Li Lingyun has some talent, it may be difficult for him to go to the extremely cold place to find the ice flames."
"With the strength of the young sect leader, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find the Ice Flame in the extremely cold place." The middle-aged man also shook his head, obviously worried about Li Lingyun's situation.
Then, Lord Dark took a deep breath and stood up. His figure looked particularly tall in the black mist, like an unshakable mountain. "It seems that I can only go on this journey to find the Ice Flame myself." He said solemnly, with a hint of determination in his voice. After that, the Dark Lord waved his hand, and a black light flew out from his fingertips, and the black mist in the cave surged, as if to see him off. He took a step forward, stepped into the black mist, and disappeared at the entrance of the cave in an instant. Only the elder and the middle-aged man were left standing at the entrance of the cave, watching him leave. Under the night sky, the extremely cold place looks particularly quiet and cold. Lord Dark was walking alone in the ice and snow, surrounded by silvery white. The cold wind howled by, blowing his black robe, but it could not shake his firm steps. His figure was looming in the wind and snow, as if he was integrated with the cold earth. He knew that this extremely cold place was not only a test of his strength, but also a test of his will. Only by experiencing such suffering and cold can he get closer to the location of the Ice Flame. The Dark Lord was firm in his heart and looked forward firmly.
[Suddenly, Lord Dark felt a powerful spiritual energy barrier. He frowned slightly and glanced around, discovering that this spiritual energy barrier was set up by Lord Ice. He smiled sadly, not expecting that the Ice Lord would also use this formation to stop his progress.
The Dark Lord did not stop. He waved his hand, and a black light flew out from his fingertips and went straight towards the spiritual energy barrier. The black light collided with the spiritual energy barrier, making a muffled sound. The aura barrier disappeared instantly, as if it had never existed.
Although the spiritual energy barrier set up by Lord Ice was powerful, it was vulnerable to the strength of Lord Dark. The Dark Lord continued to walk forward, his steps becoming more determined, as if he was proving his strength and determination to this extremely cold place.
On the frozen lake, the Dark Lord stopped and felt a cold breath. The lake is covered with thick ice, as if the whole world has been frozen. He took a deep breath and walked slowly towards the center of the lake. As he went deeper, the surrounding temperature became lower and lower, almost freezing his body. But he didn't stop. He knew that the ice flame was under the lake, waiting for his arrival. Suddenly, the ice on the lake began to crack, and cracks spread like spreading spider webs. Lord Dark's heart tightened, but he did not flinch. He used all his inner strength and stepped hard towards the bottom of the lake, breaking through the ice like an arrow. The lake surface returned to calmness, as if nothing had ever happened. However, under the lake, the Dark Lord was having a mysterious dialogue with Bing Yan.
The ice flames shone coldly at the bottom of the lake, like a bright pearl. The Dark Lord felt a strong chill, but it did not make him flinch. He slowly approached the ice flame, taking every step with extreme caution. In the mud at the bottom of the lake, there were strange sounds from time to time, as if some creature was about to move.
At this moment, the ice flame disappeared. The Dark Lord was shocked, and then he realized that the appearance of the ice flame was just the Ice Lord's deception. The surrounding ice began to tremble violently, as if something huge was awakening. Lord Dark's eyes flashed, and he knew that there was a more terrifying crisis hidden in this extremely cold place. He was alert and ready to face the next challenge. The surrounding ice cracked, and a huge ice beast rushed out from the bottom of the lake, opened its bloody mouth, and rushed towards the Dark Lord.
The Dark Lord dodged and narrowly avoided the ice beast's attack. He was secretly glad in his heart. If he was hit by the ice beast in this unprepared situation, he would probably be in bad luck. He concentrated his energy and prepared to compete with this ice beast. The ice beast is huge and covered with thick ice armor, as if it is a guardian in an extremely cold place. It opened its huge mouthparts and let out a deafening roar, the sound waves causing ripples on the ice. The Dark Lord's figure was like the wind, speeding around the ice beast, looking for its weakness. He found that although the ice beast was powerful, its movements were a bit slow. His heart moved, he formed seals with his hands, and a powerful internal force surged out of his body and went straight towards the ice beast. The ice beast trembled, as if bound by an invisible force. The Dark Lord took the opportunity to rush to the side of the ice beast and hit its carapace with a palm, making a loud sound.
After the Dark Lord defeated the ice beast, he did not relax his vigilance. He knew that the hidden dangers in this extremely cold place were far more than that. He continued to explore deeper, hoping to find traces of the Ice Flame.
In a valley covered with ice and snow, Lord Dark discovered a cave entrance. His heart moved, and he slowly explored the cave. The cave is so cold and damp that it seems to freeze a person's bone marrow. The Dark Lord used his internal strength to resist the cold.
As he went deeper into the cave, Lord Dark felt a powerful wave of spiritual energy. He felt happy, knowing that the ice flame must be here. He quickened his pace and finally found a bright light deep in the cave.
The ice flame was lying there quietly, emitting bursts of cold light. The Dark Lord slowly approached it, taking every step with extreme caution. However, the moment he was about to touch the ice flames, the stone walls in the cave suddenly collapsed, and a huge force squeezed in from all around.
At this moment, a roar came from deep in the cave. Lord Dark's heart tightened, knowing that this was probably the ice dragon, the guardian of the extremely cold place. He clenched his fists, preparing for the coming battle.
As the roar got closer and closer, a huge figure rushed out from the depths of the cave and rushed towards the Dark Lord. This is a giant dragon covered with ice armor, and it is very cold. The Dark Lord dodged and avoided the ice dragon's attack. He concentrated his energy and prepared to compete with the guardian of this extremely cold place.
The ice dragon opened its huge mouth, and a blast of cold air roared towards the Dark Lord. The Dark Lord's figure was like the wind, and he quickly dodged. At the same time, he formed seals with his hands, and a powerful internal force surged out of his body and went straight towards the ice dragon. The ice dragon trembled, as if bound by an invisible force. The Dark Lord took the opportunity to rush to the side of the ice dragon and hit its carapace with a palm, making a loud sound.
A voice came. It's Lord Ice.
Her voice was cold and firm, like the sound of a glacier bursting from the depths of an extremely cold place.
The Ice Lord's voice echoed in the cave, making the Dark Lord feel a chill. He turned around and found Lord Ice slowly walking towards her. Her eyes were cold and sharp, as if she could pierce through all disguises.
"Why come to this extremely cold place?" Lord Ice spoke slowly, with a hint of doubt and questioning in his voice.
The Dark Lord was silent for a moment and looked at the Ice Lord firmly, "I came here to find the Ice Flame."
Lord Ice sneered, "Is it for the flames? I'm afraid you don't need it."
The Dark Lord did not answer, but just stared at the Ice Lord silently. He knew that the guardian of this extremely cold place must know the secret of the Ice Flame. He took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Ice Lord, I am willing to use all my wealth and power in exchange for the ice flames." Ice Lord was stunned for a moment, seeming to be a little surprised by Dark Lord's answer. She laughed coldly, "Wealth and power? These mean nothing to me."
Then, Venerable Dark spoke slowly, with a hint of doubt and concern in his voice, "Venerable Ice, why did you choose to hide from the world in this extremely cold place? Why don't you start a sect and recruit disciples like me?"
When Lord Bing heard this, a trace of imperceptible sadness flashed in his eyes. She looked up at the top of the cave, as if she could see the distant past through the thick ice.
"Escape? This extremely cold place is my last pure land. As for establishing a sect, that requires too much time and energy, and I don't have so many years to waste." She said lightly, with a clear tone in her voice. With a touch of desolation.
The Dark Lord was silent. He looked at Lord Bing's cold and firm face, and understood in his heart that this was a woman who had experienced too much suffering and setbacks. Her heart had long been covered by ice and snow, leaving only the persistent protection of the Ice Flame.
Dark Lord took a deep breath, he approached Ice Lord, and said softly: "Bing Lord, I know I have no right to interfere with your past, but I hope you can let go of that painful memory. We all understand that Fire His Holiness’s passing is a huge blow to us. But life will always go on, and you still have brothers and sisters like us. I hope you can fight side by side with us.”
His words were as warm as the spring breeze, and seemed to want to melt the thick layer of ice and snow in Lord Bing's heart. Venerable Ice seemed to be moved by Venerable Dark's sincerity. Her eyes trembled slightly, and an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. But soon, she regained her cold expression, shook her head slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, but some scars can never be healed."
Lord Dark stared at Lord Ice silently, feeling an indescribable sadness in his heart. He understood that Lord Ice's heart had been occupied by the ice flames, and he might never be able to enter her heart.
Suddenly, there was a slight noise in the cave. The Dark Lord turned around alertly and found a black figure approaching them quietly. He was shocked, could this be the ice dragon's companion?
Lord Bing also noticed something strange, and she said coldly: "I didn't expect that you would dare to appear in front of me."
The black shadow slowly appeared, it turned out to be Lord Fire! Lord Dark was astonished. He and Lord Fire were once close friends of life and death, but since Lord Fire left, he disappeared without a trace.
Lord Dark looked at Lord Fire with mixed feelings in his heart. He had gone through life and death together with Lord Fire, and had experienced countless hardships and obstacles together. But now, Lord Fire suddenly appeared in this extremely cold place, making him feel inexplicably nervous and worried. Lord Ice looked at Lord Fire coldly, with anger and disappointment shining in his eyes. She spoke slowly, with a hint of chill in her voice, "Venerable Fire, why did you betray us?" Upon hearing this, Venerable Fire showed a bitter smile on his face, "Betrayal? I have never betrayed anyone. I just made my own choice." He paused and looked at Lord Ice firmly, "I know that my appearance will make you feel uneasy. But I hope you can give me a chance to explain. "The Ice Venerable was silent for a moment, and then nodded slowly, "Okay, you say." The Dark Venerable looked at the interaction between the two, and couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart. He didn't know what happened between Lord Fire and Lord Ice.
The Ice Lord questioned the Fire Lord, and her voice was like a cold arrow, piercing the Fire Lord, "During the war, why did you choose to join the Demon Lord Mondar?"
Lord Fire closed his eyes in pain, as if recalling the unbearable past. A trace of pain and regret flashed across his face, "I admit that I was once confused and tempted by the darkness. I thought I could change the world, but in the end, I just became someone else's pawn."
Lord Ice looked at him coldly, "Your betrayal cost us a heavy price. So many brothers and sisters died because of you, how could you forget so easily?"
When Master Huo heard this, his body trembled slightly, and a trace of guilt and pain flashed in his eyes, "I will never forget those brothers and sisters who died because of me. I will spend the rest of my life making up for my mistakes."
The Dark Lord was very surprised. He never thought that Lord Fire would appear again, let alone that Lord Ice and Lord Fire would have such a complicated relationship. He had mixed feelings in his heart and didn't know how to face this scene. He looked at Lord Bing and saw deep pain and anger hidden under her frosty face. He knew that the scars in Lord Ice's heart were far deeper and more severe than they appeared on the surface. And Lord Fire, although they were once their brothers in life and death, has now become a mysterious figure. The Dark Lord couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart. He felt that the air in the cave seemed to become oppressive, as if indicating that an inevitable storm was coming.
Dark Lord suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the cave, "Ice Lord, Fire Lord, I hope you can give me a chance to explain. We were once brothers, but now we are on opposite sides. I hope to know the truth. , no matter what the result is, I accept it." Lord Ice and Lord Fire looked at Lord Dark at the same time, with a trace of complicated emotions flashing in their eyes. The Dark Lord took a deep breath and continued, "I hope you can put aside your past grievances and join forces for a greater goal. Whether it is to fight against the Demon Lord Mondal or to find the truth about the Ice Flame, we cannot be divided. Otherwise, we will never be able to defeat our enemies." His voice was firm and powerful, and the air in the cave seemed to vibrate. Lord Ice and Lord Fire looked at each other, seeming to be thinking about Lord Dark's proposal. Lord Dark felt uneasy. He didn't know what decision they would make.
At this moment, Lord Ice noticed something was wrong with Lord Fire.
Her eyes were fixed on the Fire Lord, and she noticed that his face was pale and there were beads of sweat on his forehead. His hands were clenched into fists, as if he was enduring some kind of pain. Lord Ice's heart tightened, and she could feel the strange aura emanating from Lord Fire. It was a kind of danger and uneasiness that she had never seen before.
Her eyes met Lord Fire, and at that moment, she saw the struggle and helplessness in his eyes. Lord Fire gritted his teeth and twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he was trying his best to endure something. There was a deep sadness and despair in his eyes, as if he was suffering indescribable pain.
Suddenly, Lord Fire let out a painful groan, his body trembled suddenly, and his whole body fell forward. Lord Ice and Lord Dark exclaimed at the same time and rushed forward to support him. Lord Fire bit his lower lip tightly, trying not to cry out in pain. His face was as pale as paper, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his hands were tightly covering his abdomen, as if he was suffering from great pain. Lord Ice's heart sank. She knew something was wrong with Lord Fire. At this moment, he was no longer the brother who fought alongside them, but a poor man tortured by illness. Seeing Lord Fire's painful appearance, the anger and resentment in Lord Ice's heart instantly dissipated, replaced by a deep sympathy and helplessness. She knew that what Lord Huo needed at this moment was their care and support, not endless accusations and suspicions.
Just then, a voice appeared. It was full of anger and dissatisfaction, as if accusing the Lord of Fire of not doing things well. The owner of this voice is none other than Demon Lord Mondal.
The Dark Lord was very surprised. He did not expect that Demon Lord Mondar was still alive. The appearance of this voice seemed to accuse Lord Fire of not doing things well. However, this is just an illusion, the imagination and speculation of Lord Ice and Lord Dark when facing a complex situation. They took a deep breath and continued to observe the changes in the cave.
Suddenly, a powerful force surged in, as if it was about to shatter the entire cave. Lord Ice and Lord Dark felt a strong sense of threat at the same time, and they quickly came to help, trying to prevent the spread of this power. However, their power was as insignificant as a cricket shaking a big tree, unable to stop this surging momentum.
Then Demon Lord Mondar disappeared. The Fire Lord also disappeared.
Lord Ice watched the figure of Lord Fire disappear into the depths of the cave, and an indescribable anger and grief surged in his heart. She took a deep breath, tried to control her emotions, and then said: "It seems that Lord Fire has sold his soul to the Demon Lord."
These words were like a bolt from the blue, awakening the Dark Lord and the silent atmosphere in the entire cave. The Dark Lord's face darkened, and a trace of shock and anger flashed in his eyes. "What?" he roared, "What nonsense are you talking about? We can't believe this nonsense!"
However, Lord Ice's words seemed to have an irresistible power, making it impossible for anyone to deny its authenticity. Her eyes scanned everyone's faces firmly and coldly, and she stated this shocking fact word by word: "There is no real power of fire in his body anymore."
Then Lord Bing said, in fact, I have known for a long time that your purpose of coming to the extremely cold place is to help Li Lingyun search for the ice flame. And Li Lingyun is your child.
Lord Dark was surprised. He didn't expect Lord Ice to have understood his thoughts. This discovery made him extremely shocked and angry. There was an indescribable pain and helplessness in his heart, as if the secret in his heart had been revealed. He took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions.
Finally, the Dark Lord said: "Can you give me the ice flame?" The Ice Lord said that this was not possible. She asked Li Lingyun to get it himself.
But Lord Bing said that if Li Lingyun encounters a threat, she will help him.
Following the Ice Lord's answer, the entire cave fell into silence. The Dark Lord left the extremely cold place with a gloomy expression, as if being pushed forward by an invisible force. There was an unspeakable anger and pain in his heart, as if the secret in his heart had been revealed.
