Mu Xu agreed, "Hehe, of course, we can't waste it."
Li Yunxiao's gaze suddenly turned solemn as he said, "Has anyone discovered that this place is actually a city?"
Everyone's heart jolted, and only then did they carefully look over.
Under the white snow, they could vaguely see the signs of many buildings, and they were huge. As far as they could see with their divine senses, they could see the ruins.
"This..."
The few of them were all stunned.
Li Yunxiao said, "Master Mu Xu, Brother Gao Han, do you have any information?"
The two shook their heads.
Yuan Gaohan said, "I only found the ancient map in the ancient books. I don't know if there are people living here."
Mu Xu said, "And it looks like it's not small. Maybe it used to be a famous city."
Li Yunxiao said, "Let's figure out the geography of this city first, and then find a way to find the Ice Spirit."
Yuan Gaohan also said, "Exactly. Since there is a city, there must be a central hub. Maybe there is an ancient treasure waiting for us."
When the others heard this, they felt that it made sense, and their hearts began to heat up.
The five of them flew up to the sky and started to explore in different directions.
After flying for a while, Li Yunxiao did not gain much. The structure of the entire city was not complicated, but the materials used to construct it were quite different from the current city.
He looked down and a flame was shot out from his hand.
The flame turned into the shape of a phoenix and flew over the snow.
The snow was instantly vaporized, and a wide street was revealed.
Li Yunxiao flew down and stepped on the sturdy stone. He couldn't help but frown. There were a few corpses lying on the street in a disorderly manner.
Three were human corpses, and one was a beast.
After losing the freezing effect of the snow and the rising temperature from the fire, the corpses began to deform and rot. Then, they shrunk into a pile of dried corpses and became unrecognizable.
Li Yunxiao carefully examined each and every one of the corpses.
The conclusion was that the three people were killed by the beasts, and the beasts were killed by a powerful sword that pierced through their backs.
"What's going on with this city? Even if there's a battle between demonic beasts and humans, the corpses should have been cleaned up after the battle. They shouldn't have landed on the streets, unless … "
He came to a conclusion in his mind, and that was that this battle had directly led to the destruction of the city. It was buried in history, and that was why the last traces of the battle were left behind.
"Xiu!"
Suddenly, the sound of something tearing through the air rang out, charging straight at Yunxiao, exploding in the sky above the entire city.
Li Yunxiao's expression changed. That direction was where Yuan Gaohan had gone. He must have encountered some danger, which was why he sent out the signal.
His figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.
He performed a dozen or so large-scale teleportations in the air in one go. Then, he turned into a bolt of lightning and fled.
After half a cup of tea's time, Li Yunxiao appeared in the sky above the previous signal and looked down.
Yuan Gaohan was sitting cross-legged on top of a huge building. There was a defensive barrier around him as he resisted the incoming attacks with great difficulty.
Those attacks didn't have physical bodies, just some strange spiritual bodies.
"Demonic souls!"
Li Yunxiao immediately recognized those spiritual bodies. They were the souls of dead demonic beasts.
There were a total of four demonic souls attacking Yuan Gaohan. They all looked the same, but they weren't very powerful. However, Yuan Gaohan seemed to be extremely weak and couldn't hold on much longer.
Yuan Gaohan immediately sensed Li Yunxiao's presence. He was overjoyed. "Young Master Yun, save me! I can't hold on much longer!"
Li Yunxiao waved his hand, and four flames instantly shot out toward the demonic souls.
The four demonic souls let out shrill screams when they felt the extreme heat. They suddenly plunged into the ground and disappeared into the building.
"Boom!"
The flames flew past Yuan Gaohan's body, circling once before slowly burning out.
Yuan Gaohan jumped up in joy and flew to Li Yunxiao's side. He patted his chest and said, "I almost died."
Li Yunxiao looked at his extremely pale face and said in confusion, "Those demonic souls aren't very powerful. They shouldn't be your match. Also, with your powerful psyche, you should be able to escape even if you can't win. "
Yuan Gaohan glared at him. "Why do you think I'm here? I escaped from there. I don't know what those four demonic souls are made of, but they specialize in countering psyche attacks. Under their siege, I can't even use instant movement. "
"Specialize in countering psyche attacks?"
Li Yunxiao was startled. He seemed to recall something and said in a low voice, "Could it be the Dark Demon Race?"
Yuan Gaohan was shocked. "Now that you mention it, it really should be. I've seen that form in an ancient book. The Dark Demon Race is very strange. They have strong psyche and specialize in devouring psyche energy to cultivate. There are very few of them. "
Li Yunxiao frowned. "But why are there the souls of the Dark Demon Race here? And there are four of them. "
Yuan Gaohan pointed down and said, "There are more inside. I encountered at least twenty demonic souls. When I teleported out, these four caught up to me and kept sucking my energy. That's why I'm trapped here."
Li Yunxiao said, "Could it be that the last battle that destroyed this place was fought with the Demon Race?"
Yuan Gaohan nodded. "Very likely. Along the way, you should have found many corpses."
Li Yunxiao said, "It's not strange even if the city was destroyed after the battle with the Demon Race. The strange thing is, how did they produce so many demonic souls? Then do these human souls still exist? "
Yuan Gaohan was stunned for a moment before he laughed involuntarily. "How could they still exist! If there is, wouldn't the two factions start fighting again? In the end, only one side will survive. "
Li Yunxiao said, "That's true. We should avoid these demonic souls as much as possible. We don't want to know what happened back then and what's the result now. As long as it doesn't affect the ice essence. "
Yuan Gaohan said with a strange expression, "If you think so, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed."
Li Yunxiao asked back, "What's wrong?"
Yuan Gaohan said, "I found the ice essence under this building. I was so happy that I was about to take it, but a large number of demonic souls came out from the ice essence. The reason why these demonic souls survived after they died is related to the environment and the ice essence. The ice essence is the best place for them. "
Li Yunxiao's expression changed slightly. "Then we will encounter demonic souls when we take the ice essence?"
"Most likely."
Mu Fan's voice came. He also rushed over after seeing the signal. He took out an azure ice stone from his sleeves. It emitted a bone-piercing chill and said, "When I was retrieving this ice essence, I also met a demon soul."
"It really is the ice essence of the Extreme North. Such a strong chill!"
Li Yunxiao's pupils shrunk. He was overjoyed. Although he knew that there were a lot of ice essence here, he was still happy to see it.
"Who cares what kind of demonic souls it is. If they stop us from taking the ice essence, then they will die together!"
Chen Qingyu and Su Lianyi also arrived. The five of them immediately sneaked into the building in front of them.
From the internal structure, it could be seen that this used to be a palace. The interior structure was very grand, but it was all covered with ice crystals.
A large amount of ice and snow froze and sealed off all the passages around.
Li Yunxiao tapped his fingers, and with a "ka" sound, a flame sprang up and danced on his fingertips.
The flame continued to expand and spread in all directions.
"Clatter!" A large amount of white smoke rose everywhere. The interior of the palace was gradually revealed.
Although they had sensed something unusual when they entered, they were still surprised when the whole structure was revealed under the flame.
Jade carvings appeared in the curling mist. On the dome were carvings of phoenixes spreading their wings and green dragons absorbing water. A straight path was slowly descending along the white jade stairs.
The walls of the palace were made of crystals, the curtains were made of pearls, and the pillars were inlaid with platinum.
A giant Bright Moon Pearl was hanging on the dome of the palace. Under the illumination of the flame, the ice was melting, and the light was shining like the sun and the moon.
The white jade floor tiles under their feet were carved into lotuses. A giant lotus with five stems was in the center. It looked like lotuses were growing with every step. People didn't dare to move forward.
"Is … is this the palace?"
People were shocked. Yuan Gaohan opened his eyes wide. He had come here once before. He could feel the spacious and grand surroundings, but he didn't expect it to be so luxurious.
The concept of "country" was not very strong in the Realm of Heaven Martial Arts. There was not much difference between a country and a sect. Besides, there was no country among the powerful forces in the Realm of Heaven Martial Arts.
In the West Field, the Ancient Martial Kingdom guarded the Five Cloud Mountain, the neighboring Yinchu Kingdom, and the Donghan Kingdom bordering the North Field and the East Field were the top three empires in the Realm of Heaven Martial Arts.
But even among these three empires, except for the Ancient Emperor Wu Kingdom, which guarded the Five Cloud Mountain and was supported by the Sacred Zone, the other two empires only had one main city and were not famous.
The magnificent scene in front of people was not the layout of a sect or faction. It was the palace of a country.
Li Yunxiao came to himself. No matter how magnificent this place was in the past, it was now history.
"Brother Gao Han, where are the Ice Spirits?"
Yuan Gaohan also came to himself. He pointed at the passage next to him and said, "If I remember correctly, we should have encountered the Ice Spirits as soon as we entered this passage, and then a large number of Monster Souls."
Li Yunxiao said, "Stop sighing. Let's go."
He took the lead and walked out of the passage. The divine fire in front of him turned into the shape of a child and flew around, melting the ice.
The Ice Spirits of the Extreme North were the essence of Ice Souls. They would not change after being burned by the flame for a short time.
People walked down the jade stairs. The floating windows on both sides were carved with pictures, which recorded the important events of this country. There were battles, sacrifices, duels, cultivation, and all kinds of clan emblems, which showed the ancient families that had existed in the past.
After walking down the stone stairs for several hundred feet, Li Yunxiao stopped.
There was a huge ice wall in front of them. The flame child opened his mouth and spat out a ball of fire. It burned the ice wall, but it did not melt.
"Wow! Such a big Ice Spirit! "
Li Yunxiao's eyes bulged, full of excitement and joy.
The ice wall was more than 30 feet long and wide. If they dug it out, its value would be immeasurable.
