Outside the ice mountain, Ice Sect's Sect Master Qing Ya had strangely appeared, but not only did she not show any dissatisfaction or hostility towards Yang Kai, she was actually quite amiable, making Yang Kai feel embarrassed to continue making trouble.
Yang Kai had already decided to shed all pretense of cordiality with Ice Sect and cause a ruckus here before taking Su Yan away.
However, Ice Sect's Sect Master Qing Ya's attitude made it impossible for Yang Kai to use his full strength. She had greeted him with a smile, so if he continued to act like he did just now, he would appear somewhat unreasonable.
"You're here to find Su Yan, right? Meng Wu Ya mentioned this before, "Qing Ya still asked softly.
Yang Kai nodded lightly.
"I won't hide it from you, Su Yan had an accident."
Yang Kai's face suddenly became cold. Qing Ya quickly said, "But you can rest assured, her life isn't in any danger, she just sealed herself in ice."
"Sealed herself in ice?" Yang Kai frowned.
"Her current situation is the result of her own choice. Of course, my Ice Sect also bears some responsibility for it. Come with me, you'll understand when you see her, just a few words won't be enough," Qing Ya beckoned to Yang Kai.
"Sect Master …" Qian Yue hurriedly called out, obviously wanting to stop them, but after being glared at by Qing Ya, she quickly shut up.
"Right, before that, can you take back those little insects from my Ice Sect disciples' Knowledge Seas? Since you released these insects, you should have a way to take them back, right? "Qing Ya looked at Yang Kai with a smile.
"Sorry, before confirming the condition of my Senior Sister, I'm not going to take back those insects," Yang Kai shook his head. Yang Kai slowly shook his head. Right now, he only had this trump card. Using the lives of more than two hundred Ice Sect disciples as a hostage was the only way to make Ice Sect hesitate to attack him. Although he felt that this Qing Ya was a trustworthy person, he still needed to be on guard against her. If she suddenly attacked him after he received the Soul Devouring Insects, Yang Kai didn't have the ability to survive a Third Order Saint.
"You're really careful," Qing Ya shook her head helplessly, "If that's the case, my Ice Sect disciples won't have an accident, right?"
"I've already said that their lives will not be in danger for the next hour." Yang Kai's expression was indifferent.
"Alright, come with me. Qian Yue, you come with me. Qian Hao, you guys stay outside and look after the disciples."
"Yes." Everyone nodded respectfully. Qian Hao stared coldly at Yang Kai and threatened, "Brat, don't play any tricks, or you'll suffer."
Yang Kai couldn't be bothered with him.
As Qing Ya flew forward, she came to a stop in front of the ice mountain where Yang Kai had sensed Su Yan's aura. Qing Ya waved her jade hand and a strange door appeared halfway up the ice mountain.
This gate was also carved out of ice crystals, and mysterious energy flowed through it. There was also a faint array pattern on it, which was obviously able to isolate the probing of Divine Sense.
After entering the ice mountain, a bone-chilling chill washed over them from all directions. Yang Kai's expression became solemn as he hurriedly circulated his Yuan Qi to expel the cold from his body.
Feeling the hot energy in his body, Qian Yue showed a look of disgust on her pretty face.
Everyone in Ice Sect cultivated Ice Attribute Secret Arts and Martial Skills, so they were extremely sensitive to this kind of energy.
The interior of the ice mountain was crystal clear, and the road inside seemed to be paved with crystal. It was a beautiful sight to behold and was dotted with strange stones used for illumination, illuminating the ice crystal corridor in a dazzling light.
As they walked down, Yang Kai's breathing gradually became heavier. He could clearly feel that he was getting closer and closer to Su Yan.
After walking for about half a cup of tea's worth of time, the three of them arrived in front of a huge ice room. Qing Ya glanced back at Yang Kai and said, "Su Yan is in here, but you have to promise me that you won't get too excited."
"I know," Yang Kai responded faintly.
Qing Ya nodded lightly, pushed open the door of the ice room, and was the first to walk in, Yang Kai and Qian Yue following closely behind.
Inside the ice room, there was nothing but an ice bed. On this ice bed, Su Yan's eyes were closed, her body wrapped in ice, seemingly in a deep sleep.
Yang Kai's eyes narrowed as a monstrous anger rose in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it and slowly walked towards the ice bed.
Qing Ya and Qian Yue both stared at him, the two of them strangely discovering that the moment this arrogant and insidious young man saw Su Yan, his ferocious face calmed down and his pair of eyes filled with a deep sense of longing, so gentle it was almost as if water would drip from them.
The expression on Yang Kai's face constantly changed, seemingly a mix of fear and expectation as he slowly approached the ice bed.
As he walked, his expression gradually calmed down.
Arriving in front of the ice bed, Yang Kai stared at the jade figure on the bed, his mouth curling into a slight smile.
Su Yan was lying on the bed, her life was not in danger, but her whole body was wrapped in an extremely strange ice, as if she was sealed in ice, completely unresponsive to Yang Kai's arrival.
Yang Kai stretched out his hand but couldn't touch her.
Quietly observing, Su Yan's expression was calm, her two hands naturally resting on her flat stomach. Before she was sealed in ice, she seemed to have a high level of awareness and didn't feel the slightest pain.
Moreover, at this moment, the Yuan Qi in Su Yan's body was still circulating rapidly, and the Secret Art she cultivated was still operating at a faster rate than usual.
Knowing that Yang Kai's mood was fluctuating, Qing Ya and Qian Yue tactfully kept quiet and didn't disturb him.
As time passed by, Qing Ya's expression didn't change, but Qian Yue was becoming impatient.
More than two hundred Ice Sect disciples had encountered a great disaster, if Yang Kai didn't take back his Soul Devouring Insects after half an hour, they would all die, so Qian Yue couldn't help urging, "Little brat, how much longer are you going to watch? No matter how much you watch, you won't be able to wake her up. Not only has she frozen her body, but she has also frozen her consciousness."
Yang Kai suddenly turned around and stared at her coldly.
Qian Yue unconsciously averted her gaze, as if she had a guilty conscience.
"Is this a Martial Skill?" Yang Kai turned to Qing Ya and asked.
Qing Ya nodded lightly, "En, this is one of my Ice Sect's Secret Arts, Ice Body Sealed Heart! After using this Secret Art, one's Yuan Qi will condense, sealing one's body and mind in ice, causing one to lose all sensation in an instant. "
"Then why is Senior Sister's Secret Art still operating?" Yang Kai frowned.
Qing Ya smiled lightly, "Ice Body Sealed Heart is a Secret Art that assists one's cultivation. When my Ice Sect's disciples use this technique, they can force themselves into a state of complete selflessness. Cultivating in this state allows them to cultivate much faster than normal. Many disciples use this move when they are in seclusion. Depending on the amount of True Essence and comprehension used to use this martial skill, the duration of the Frozen Body Locked Heart is also different. "
"How long does my Senior Sister's Secret Art last?" Yang Kai asked.
Qing Ya's expression became gloomy as she slowly shook her head, "I can't say, it could be a dozen years, it could be a few decades, it could also be forever … Su Yan is currently using the Yuan Qi she cultivates to maintain the frozen state outside her body."
Yang Kai narrowed his eyes, "Why does she want to freeze herself? Did she suffer some kind of grievance in your Ice Sect? Was she abused? "
Saying so, he turned an unfriendly look towards Qian Yue.
"Smelly brat, what are you looking at me for? I like her so much, how could I abuse her?" Qian Yue suddenly became annoyed.
"Little brat, don't worry, Elder Qian Yue won't mistreat Su Yan, she still wants to accept your Senior Sister as her disciple," Qing Ya quickly tried to persuade him.
"I'm afraid she won't have that kind of luck!" Yang Kai hated this beautiful woman Qian Yue from the bottom of his heart.
"However, this matter really has something to do with Elder Qian Yue," Qing Ya sighed softly, "Su Yan becoming like this is partly her responsibility."
Qian Yue's expression also became gloomy as she said bitterly, "I didn't expect her to be like this, nor did I know when she learned the Ice Body Sealed Heart. If I had known earlier … I wouldn't have forced her like this, haa!"
Saying so, she glanced over at Yang Kai and coldly said, "Boy, I won't deny this, but I did it for her own good, I didn't mean to harm her!"
"What happened?" Yang Kai's eyes spat fire. Although Qian Yue had said so, it was still just her side of the story, so he still had to ask her clearly about the situation.
"Qian Yue, tell me," Qing Ya rubbed her forehead.
Qian Yue nodded slightly and began recounting what happened after Su Yan entered Ice Sect.
Two years ago, Meng Wu Ya suddenly brought Xia Ning Chang and Su Yan to Ice Sect and found Ice Sect's Sect Master Qing Ya, entrusting her with the task of taking care of Su Yan temporarily.
Ice Sect lived in seclusion in this ice world and generally did not accept outsiders, but Meng Wu Ya had some friendship with Qing Ya after all. Unable to resist this old man's shameless coaxing, Qing Ya had no choice but to agree.
After entrusting Su Yan to Ice Sect, Meng Wu Ya and Xia Ning Chang left.
"That old man said that what he was going to do was very dangerous. Taking his disciple with him was one thing, but he couldn't bring Su Yan along and put her in danger, so he secretly left Su Yan here. It wasn't until that old man left that Su Yan learned the truth and had no choice but to temporarily live in Ice Sect," Qian Yue explained.
Yang Kai nodded lightly. Treasurer Meng's actions were understandable. He definitely hadn't told Su Yan his purpose in coming to Ice Sect in advance, otherwise, with Su Yan's personality, she would definitely have followed Treasurer Meng and helped him instead of staying in Ice Sect to live a comfortable life.
"And then?" Yang Kai asked.
"Then Sect Master handed Su Yan over to me. At first, I didn't pay much attention to her. Although her strength wasn't low when she came here, it wasn't too high either. But soon, I discovered that this child's talent was unparalleled and her cultivation speed was incredibly fast. What was most commendable though was that the Secret Art she cultivated was in line with my Ice Attribute Secret Art! I think that old man must have had a premeditated plan to entrust Su Yan to Ice Sect. "
Yang Kai's mouth twitched, thinking that it would be strange if Meng Wu Ya didn't have a premeditated plan. Meng Wu Ya definitely knew many powerful masters on Tong Xuan Realm, and Chu Ling Xiao was an old acquaintance of his, yet he had sent Su Yan here. Obviously, he had taken a fancy to Ice Sect's heritage.
Meng Wu Ya's move was obviously to get Ice Sect to help teach Su Yan for free.
If it were Yang Kai, he would have done the same!
