"If we don't cure him, then he won't be able to live for long. First, his power will gradually decline. Once he loses his power, his flesh and blood will come into contact with his life force. When he dies, he will turn into a ghost and return to his master's side," Bai Su said in a low voice.
"Northern Frontier Tribe also belongs to Freezing Sky. If Zhuo Ge killed Zi Che, will Freezing Sky Clan say anything about this?" Su Ming looked at the cocoon in his hands. That cocoon was now completely stiff and felt like an ice stone when he held it.
"You … You don't know?" Bai Su was momentarily stunned before she seemed to have understood something. She cast a glance at Zi Che, and a complicated look appeared in her eyes.
"What?" Su Ming lifted his head and looked at Bai Su.
"Three months ago, Zi Che's Master informed the school that he was expelled from the second summit … He's no longer a disciple of Freezing Sky Clan …"
A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes and he looked towards Zi Che, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground. There was not much blood on his face, but there was a determined look on his face. He could not hear the conversation between Su Ming and Bai Su. At that moment, he had to constantly recover, or else he would not be able to withstand the power of the arrow.
"Three months ago …" Su Ming knew that this had happened during the five days he was away from Freezing Sky Clan, but he had not seen anything out of the ordinary from Zi Che.
However, it was clear that this was not something normal to Zi Che.
"If it wasn't for this, then he wouldn't have lowered his head every time he saw his sister …" Bai Su sighed softly.
Su Ming fell silent and looked at the cocoon in his hands. After a long while, he squeezed it.
"You said that this insect isn't something from Freezing Sky and that it dies when it runs into the cold?" Su Ming's voice was calm, and no one could tell if he was happy or angry.
Bai Su nodded.
Su Ming crouched down and picked up a small insect that looked as if it was dead. Once he held it in his hands, a strong wave of flames spread out from his palm and enveloped the insect.
In the flames, the insect's stiff body suddenly shuddered and it flipped over. Its spirits were lifted, and it let out hissing sounds. It also moved, wanting to crawl into the flesh on Su Ming's palm.
Yet before it could crawl in, the fire on Su Ming's palm instantly disappeared. As the freezing wind blew towards him, Su Ming clenched his fist. Cracking sounds traveled into the air, and only then did Su Ming let go.
As Bai Su sucked in a sharp breath, she saw that the black insect in Su Ming's palm had already turned into powder.
"These insects weren't dead yet. They were just hibernating. They'll wake up when they're touched by fire!" Su Ming waved his hand, and the powder on his palm scattered with the wind.
"This bug is like this, and this cocoon is also like this." Su Ming's voice was cold. A scene from his memories appeared before his eyes. In that scene was a chain, and there was an illusory figure on it. That figure's body was covered in countless wounds, and there seemed to be an innumerable amount of black insects that looked exactly like the small insect in front of him!
'Lei Chen …' Su Ming closed his eyes. He did not know whether the things that had happened on the Chains of Han Mountain were real or fake. He could not tell even now, but the appearance of the insect had shaken Su Ming.
He had never seen this insect before he challenged the Chains of Han Mountain. If it was just a figment of his imagination or an illusion, then now that he saw the same insect again, he did not believe that he could have imagined it.
'If it's real, then why is the truth different from my memories..? If it's fake, then why is this illusion real, and it's exactly the same?!
'This is a clue!'
Su Ming opened his eyes, and Bai Su's soft voice reached his ears.
Bai Su looked at Su Ming and whispered, "Let me try with Zi Che …"
"There's no need. There's another way to heal him without any risk," Su Ming said calmly. His voice was cold, and a red glare appeared in his right eye.
"What is it?" Bai Su was stunned. She did not understand the meaning behind Su Ming's words.
"Kill Zhuo Ge and destroy his Phantom. The Phantom Aura on the arrow in Zi Che's leg will naturally disappear." Once Su Ming finished speaking, he looked at Bai Su.
"You're more familiar with this area than I am. Bring me to Northern Frontier Tribe!"
Bai Su bit her bottom lip and looked at Su Ming blankly, but she shook her head resolutely.
"With your power, you'll definitely die if you go to Northern Frontier Tribe alone. I won't bring you!"
"I'm not alone." Su Ming turned around and let out a shrill howl towards the sky. His howl reverberated through the ninth summit, causing the glaciers on the mountain to tremble.
The instant his howl reverberated in the air, Hu Zi was drinking wine in his cave abode. He narrowed his eyes and grinned foolishly, preparing to hug his wine gourd and sleep so that he could recover his energy and go out at night.
Yet almost at the moment he closed his eyes and before his snores could travel out, Su Ming's howl immediately traveled into his cave abode. That howl was like thunder rumbling, causing Hu Zi's cave abode to tremble. He opened his eyes swiftly, and once he rubbed them, surprise appeared on his face.
"What's wrong with fourth?" Without any hesitation, he immediately picked up his wine gourd and rushed out of his cave abode, charging straight towards Su Ming's cave abode.
At the same time, at the mountainside in the middle section of the ninth summit was a place where flowers were blooming. Green grass covered the ground, creating a scene that looked as if time had been reversed in the snow.
Second senior brother sat cross-legged in the middle section of the ninth summit, maintaining a posture where sunlight shone on the side of his face. There was a gentle smile on his lips. Before him, the grass on the ground was moving without wind. There were a few strands of grass growing rapidly, and once they intertwined with each other, they looked as if they were weaving something.
Second senior brother's expression was incredibly focused, but at that moment, Su Ming's piercing howl reverberated in the air from the ninth summit. There was a shocking, murderous aura within that howl, and under that murderous aura, the few strands of grass weaving before second senior brother froze for a moment.
Surprise appeared on second senior brother's face. He lifted his head and cast a glance at Su Ming's cave abode in the distance.
"Who provoked youngest junior brother?" Second senior brother stood up unhurriedly and patted his robes. With his hands behind his back, he walked towards Su Ming's cave abode with the sunlight shining on the side of his face.
His feet looked as if he was stepping on the ground, but in truth, with each step he took, he would maintain a height of one inch from the ground!
At the same time Su Ming's howl traveled outwards, a pair of eyes appeared in the darkness of the isolation grounds at the foot of the ninth summit's layer of ice.
"This murderous aura … If I don't vent it, it'll be hard for me to calm down … Youngest junior brother, even if you want to do it, I can't come out yet …" A mumbling voice could be heard faintly in the silent glacier.
Yet suddenly, a crack appeared on an ice rock that was the height of a person. Fire spread out from within the crack, as if it was burning the ice rock. In an instant, more cracks appeared on the ice rock, and eventually, it exploded with a bang.
The instant it exploded, a black hand stretched out from within the ice rock!
That black hand exuded a freezing aura that surged into the sky. Once it stretched out slowly, it pressed down on the ice by the side. Gradually, as if it was crawling out, a man whose entire body was pitch black appeared.
That man was half-naked. Once he crawled out, he closed his eyes and knelt down on one knee in the direction of the gaze.
"All those years ago, my three hundred slaves stopped their slaughter at the same time as me and isolated themselves here with me … Now, I've awakened you, one of my three hundred slaves, to help me do something."
"Give me your orders, Young Master!" The burly man suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were gray, and they were filled with madness and mercilessness. Anyone who looked at them would feel a chill in their hearts. At the same time, they could also sense the bloodthirst coming from the burly man.
"Protect my junior brothers and listen to their orders. If necessary … I'll allow you to cast a Forbidden Curse!" The gaze that existed in the glacier gradually disappeared. Only those words echoed in the air, and in the midst of the calmness was a murderous intent.
The man grinned and licked his lips. Once he bowed, he stood up, lifted his foot, and took a step to the side. His body immediately turned into a layer of black smoke that crawled into the ice walls around him and disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, Tian Xie Zi yawned and stretched his back at the top of the ninth summit. As he walked, he mumbled something under his breath.
Once he arrived at the top of the mountain, he sucked in a deep breath and swayed his body. He even propped himself up and down on the ground a few times before he stood up properly again. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"I managed to prop up ten of them today, one more than last year. Good, good, good! Tian Xie Zi, you're just too good! You're the strongest lad I've ever seen in my life!
"Tian Xie Zi, you're good! I'm proud of you!" With a satisfied smile on his face, Tian Xie Zi mumbled to himself for a long while before he lifted his head. He was prepared to roar at the sky before he flew off in a certain direction to train his body in the morning.
However, right when he opened his mouth and was about to roar, someone beat him to it and let out a shrill howl. That howl rumbled and reverberated in all directions, causing Tian Xie Zi to be momentarily stunned.
"Hmm? I haven't even shouted yet, so why is there a sound? " Tian Xie Zi blinked, then lifted his hand to cover his mouth. When he saw that the sound was still ringing in his ears, he quickly crouched down and stuck his head out to look down from the edge of the mountain.
"Fourth's roar is too unpleasant. Hmm? Third's rushing over … Ah, Second's also going over. Damn it, why is my eldest disciple who's in isolation joining in as well?
"Are they going to fight? Haha! This is fun!" Excitement appeared in Tian Xie Zi's eyes and he quickly rolled up his sleeves, looking as if he wanted to join in.
As Su Ming's shrill howl reverberated in the air, Hu Zi was the first to arrive on the platform outside Su Ming's cave abode. The moment he arrived on the platform, he saw Zi Che's wretched state, and his eyes widened in anger.
"Damn it all! Who hurt my cat?!"
Soon after, second senior brother placed his hands behind his back and walked over with a gentle smile on his face, but when he saw Zi Che's face, the smile on his face disappeared.
"Youngest junior brother, who did this?!"
"Northern Frontier Tribe's Black Arrow Berserker, Zhuo Ge. He's the son of Northern Frontier's Chief of War, Zhuo Ya, "Su Ming said calmly as he looked at Zi Che.
"Damn it all! F * ck his bird! How dare he bully my cat?!" Hu Zi roared by the side.
"This … isn't good …" Second senior brother shook his head and the smile appeared on his face once again, but this time, there was a ghastly air to his smile.
"We won't f * ck his bird. We'll cut off his bird's head and eat it!" Second senior brother's smile grew wider.
As Bai Su listened, her face turned red and she spat in her heart.
