“We’re reaching soon.” As Elder Hua Feng spoke, his expression became much more serious.

The other elders stood together, glanced at each other, and took action together!

A bright Xuan formation suddenly appeared in the dark front!

Very quickly, the Xuan formation broke from the middle and slowly opened toward both sides. Bright white light shone in from the outside.

“Go!” With Elder Hua Feng’s command, he rushed out first!

Chu Liuyue and the other elders followed behind him closely!

…

Cold.

Extremely cold.

This was what Chu Liuyue first felt when she exited the transportation formation.

She looked across, and it was a white snowy land. Other than that, there was nothing else.

The sky was dark as if it had just snowed.

Tuan Zi moved in her dantian, and a gush of warm aura instantly flowed all over her body.

Chu Liuyue then felt much better.

“Hiss… Why is this place so cold!?” Behind her, an elder couldn’t help but shiver. As he spoke, he hurriedly set up a barrier around him. “I’ve long heard that the Flood-Desert Northern Region has extreme conditions, but I didn’t expect it to be this scary!”

They were all legendary warriors, and regular coldness or hotness didn’t have much impact on them. If they had such a huge reaction, it just showed that this place was cold beyond one’s imagination.

“Chu Yue, are you okay?” Another elder saw that Chu Liuyue looked normal, and he couldn’t help but inquire.

Chu Liuyue blinked, smiled, and said, “Thank you for your concern, Elders. My fiend is a red-tailed phoenix, so I’m doing fine.”

“No wonder.” Cultivators below legendary warriors probably wouldn’t even be able to stay here for long. In the beginning, they were still rather worried about bringing Chu Yue along, but it now seemed like this child didn’t need their concern.

This matter caused the few elders to change their views of Chu Liuyue, and their gazes toward her were much gentler.

Elder Hua Feng silently glanced at Chu Liuyue. Hm? Red-tailed phoenix… That’s true. It did break through from a red-tailed phoenix! 

Chu Liuyue’s expression did not change.

An elder surveyed the surroundings and couldn’t help but ask, “Where are Bo Yan and the rest now? This place is covered in snow. I’m afraid it’ll be a little hard to find them quickly.”

Elder Hua Feng took out his own green jade plaque.

The two stars on it shone quietly. One of them was his, and the other was naturally Elder Bo Yan’s.

He looked for a while and confirmed that he was on the right.

“He should be there, but he seems to be a distance away. Even if we all rush over at full speed, it will take a few hours.” As he spoke, he glanced at the sky. “But the snow is very deep… I’m afraid it would reduce our speed by more than half.”

“We don’t have a choice either. If we fly through the air here, we’ll be moving live targets. We don’t know who else is here, so we should be careful.”

Even if it was much slower, they couldn’t randomly risk their lives.

Elder Hua Feng nodded. “Let’s go!”

…

Just like that, the few of them slowly treaded past the snow. Every step they took, a deep snowy hole would appear behind them.

After walking a distance, Chu Liuyue felt rather frustrated and hot. She slowly knitted her brows and felt that something was amiss.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t walked through snow before, so she knew that it took up a lot of energy. However, this seemed too… It was as if something underground was gluing their feet, causing every step to be especially effortful.

She couldn’t help but look down, yet she did not see anything. Other than crystallized snow, there was nothing else.

She hesitated for a moment and temporarily suppressed her thoughts.

Some time had passed, and the other elders clearly couldn’t take it anymore. “Is there something wrong with this place? Why does walking in snow feel so effortful!”

“I also think that there’s a problem here. Logically speaking, we’re all legendary warriors, and we’ve only walked for an hour, but how did it exhaust so much of our energy?”

“Hua Feng, what do you think?”

Elder Hua Feng—who was walking at the front—stopped and sighed deeply. “You’re right. There is… something wrong here.”

The few elders all stopped.

Chu Liuyue also stood still.

The few elders glanced at her and realized that she wasn’t left behind, even after she had followed them for so long. And looking at her expression, she didn’t seem to be greatly affected, so they were all collectively taken aback. Did we really underestimate this kid’s abilities earlier? 

In actual fact, the reason why Chu Liuyue could survive walking for so long and still have a relatively relaxed attitude was firstly due to Tuan Zi. The other reason was that… she had undergone Big Baby’s training, so her physical combat skills were far superior to what she had showcased.

She looked down again. Suddenly, she heard some shuffling noises.

She turned around and looked over.

A gray-faced fox suddenly came out from the snow, stuck its head out, and looked around.

As if detecting her gaze, that gray-faced fox looked over and met Chu Liuyue’s eyes. Then, it instantly shrunk its head back alertly.

Chu Liuyue knitted her brows slightly and felt that something was wrong.

“Could it be that there’s something wrong with the snow below?” An elder asked strangely.

“I think so too, but… the snow is so thick. How are we supposed to check it? We can’t just dig five feet under, right?” Elder Hua Feng spread his hands rather helplessly.

The few elders exchanged glances.

Even if there was really a problem below, with their abilities, they might not be able to solve it quickly.

“Forget it; let’s not deal with this now. We should first find Bo Yan and the rest and gather with them!” another elder suggested.

Chu Liuyue looked around and suddenly asked, “Elder, didn’t Elder Bo Yan say that the Heavenly Square Cauldron has descended here? Why… isn’t there any noise at all?”
