Li Yunxiao smiled. "Fine, I'll allow you this time."
His domineering attitude caused Lu Nanxi to tremble with anger, but there was nothing she could do. After glaring at him fiercely, she continued, "I don't know how long ago, but the continent wasn't clearly divided into four great domains like it is now. At that time, there were hundreds of races, and although the human race was the largest, it wasn't like now, where they unified the world."
Li Yunxiao frowned. He also knew of that era. It could be traced back hundreds of thousands of years, and the era of the coexistence of many races had also spanned hundreds of thousands of years. All the legends of the God realm experts had come to an end at that time.
Lu Nanxi continued, "At that time, there was a country called the Snow Country. Not all of the living beings there were humans, but they lived in peace and harmony. However, one day, a powerful and evil existence appeared in the capital. It was called the Calamity, and it constantly devoured the lives of the country's experts. At that time, the king, Feng Yaoli, led the experts under him to fight against the Calamity for half a year. Almost all of the experts were killed, and the large number of external reinforcements he had invited all perished in the Snow Country … "
"At that time, there was a powerful diviner who used his own lifespan as the price to display a world-shaking divine technique. He allowed his divine sense to enter the torrent of time, peep into the past and future, and finally found a way to restrain the Calamity."
"The Snow Country was covered in snow all year round, and the ground was covered in a layer of ice that would not melt for tens of thousands of years. Thousands of miles below the layer of ice, there was something called the Eight God Ice Pistil. It was born from countless years of ice crystallization, and it was the key to restrain the Calamity."
"But in the history of the Snow Country, the deepest one could go into the layer of ice was only a thousand miles. The Eight God Ice Pistil was at a level that could not be reached. That diviner also said that only the queen, Shui Yanluo, with her water sprout body, could enter and retrieve the ice pistil. "
"Although Shui Yanluo's strength was not strong, she became the key to the entire matter. Naturally, she entered the layer of ice without hesitation. But after a long time, she still did not come up. Until one day, when Feng Yaoli's mind was in turmoil and he was taking a stroll in the palace, the entire palace suddenly froze over. All of the flowers and plants in the snowy season froze to death overnight. It was so cold that not even vital energy could resist the cold. "
"Shocked, Feng Yaoli looked up to see a sparkling and translucent ice flower slowly blooming in the air above the royal palace. As the flower bloomed, frost covered the entire royal palace, and within the heart of the flower was Shui Yanluo's soul."
"Only then did he realize that the soul of the Ice Sprout Physique was needed to obtain the Eight God Ice Stamen. Feng Yaoli was furious and immediately wanted to take the life of that diviner."
"However, the Clairvoyant calmly took out a sword embryo. It was something he had spent decades forging, but he was never able to condense it. This was because he lacked a primer that could match this sword embryo, and the Eight God Ice Pistil was a perfect match. Feng Yaoli spared his life and allowed him to use his entire life's worth of skill to finally forge this cold sword of ice. "
"In the end, Feng Yaoli used this sword to kill Huo Dou, but he fell into endless self-blame for Shui Yanluo. The cold sword of ice was also sealed away. At this time, the Clairvoyant was already at the end of his rope. In order to fulfill Feng Yaoli's wish, he used the power of the cold sword of ice to once again display a heaven-defying divine technique, allowing Feng Yaoli and Shui Yanluo to reunite in time. "
"That was the last time the cold sword of ice displayed its might in the Snow Country. In a single night, thousands of miles were sealed in ice. After the Jiutian, the Clairvoyant's power was exhausted and he died. King Feng Yaoli was unwilling to leave the torrent of time. He would rather be swept into the turbulence of time and be together with Shui Yanluo. "
"After that, there was no more news of the cold sword of ice in the Snow Country. The ancestor of my Lu Family originated from the Snow Country. Over a hundred thousand years ago, there were records of him obtaining this sword and leaving behind the method to unseal it. However, no one knew why it was lost later on. "
By the time the story was finished, there were already many cultivators surrounding the small courtyard. However, under Lu Huafeng's gaze, no one dared to approach.
Vice Patriarch Lu Shubao led his men in a circle outside and finally followed Li Yunxiao back to the Lu Family. He was also outside the small courtyard, staring at the story with a cold expression.
Li Yunxiao fell silent. Later on, he naturally learned that this sword had been used by those powerful experts to suppress the Demon Master's clone. Although Lu Nanxi's story was a little outrageous, it could more or less restore the sword's origins.
He opened his mouth and said, "Now that the story is finished, it's time to talk about the method to unseal it, right?"
"Li Yunxiao!"
Outside the small courtyard, Lu Shubao's expression suddenly changed. He shouted, "You've already committed a great crime. It's not too late to admit your mistakes!"
Li Yunxiao smiled in surprise. "Oh? May I ask, my lord, how will it be too late? Will you not kill me, or will you let me leave safely? "
Lu Shubao said in a deep voice, "You've killed many of our Lu Family's people. It's impossible for you to leave safely. However, if you repent now and cooperate with us to remove the seal on the cold sword's hilt, we can spare your life."
Li Yunxiao said, "What's the condition for sparing my life?"
Lu Shubao said coldly, "Break your dantian and cripple your martial arts foundation!"
Li Yunxiao's eyes turned cold. He swung the hammer in his hand and smashed it forward. A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky and fell toward Lu Huafeng's head.
Lu Huafeng was shocked. He realized that the space around him had been sealed. He could only watch as the lightning fell and hurriedly drew a sword to block it.
"Boom!"
How could he block that lightning? The long sword was sent flying and stuck into the ground in the distance. His whole body was struck by the lightning and he knelt down instantly. His whole body was black and smoking. Only the fear in his eyes proved that he wasn't dead yet.
"You, you, stop!"
Lu Shubao's expression changed. He was furious and about to rush over.
Li Yunxiao said coldly, "Stop!"
Lu Nanxi suddenly felt an extremely dangerous aura coming toward him. He jumped in fright and hurriedly shouted, "Don't, don't come over!"
He firmly believed that as long as the people outside entered the courtyard, Li Yunxiao would definitely kill him and his father first.
Lu Shubao's footsteps paused. He might be the vice-patriarch, but Lu Nanxi was a ninth-stage alchemist. Her power was even greater than his. Moreover, he couldn't afford to let two of the clan's alchemists die.
A cold expression flashed across Li Yunxiao's face. He said mockingly, "What this lord just said was too frightening. My hand shook and accidentally knocked the hammer on Master Huafeng's head. Fortunately, I managed to control my strength in time. But next time, I might not be able to control it."
Lu Shubao was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head. He said angrily, "Hurry up and let go of the two masters. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "Oh? Then please tell me, my lord, what are the consequences? "He looked like he was listening attentively.
Lu Shubao was momentarily speechless. No matter how serious the consequences were, he would just die. Looking at the other's appearance, he didn't seem to be afraid of death at all. Words couldn't threaten him at all.
Lu Nanxi also said angrily, "What will it take for you to let us go?"
Li Yunxiao said indifferently, "The Ice Frost Sword still has a way to unseal it."
"No!"
Lu Nanxi flatly refused, "Although the Ice Frost Sword belonged to you before, it belonged to my Lu family a long time ago. The method to unseal it is a top secret." He said coldly, "Even if you kill us father and son, the patriarch will not give these two things to you!"
Li Yunxiao nodded and said, "Fine, since that's the case, there's no point in keeping you father and son alive." A trace of killing intent flashed through his eyes as he raised the hammer high.
Lu Nanxi was startled. He didn't expect the other to be so straightforward. He hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Wait! I'm just guessing, maybe the patriarch will agree! "
Two lines of cold sweat dripped down his face. It was said that the older one was in the martial world, the more timid they became and the more afraid of death they became.
The faces of the surrounding Lu family members all darkened. However, they didn't want the two alchemists to die. Otherwise, the impact on the Lu family's strength would be too great.
Lu Shubao suddenly said, "Li Yunxiao, as long as you let go of the two masters, my Lu family will let you leave safely and not send anyone to hunt you down. What do you think?"
Li Yunxiao said in surprise, "Oh? There's such a good thing? I almost swung the hammer again in excitement. "
Lu Shubao was about to explode with anger. If he hadn't just received the news that Crimson Moon City was hunting Li Yunxiao, he wouldn't have made such a promise. His idea was to let Li Yunxiao leave and then lure the people of Crimson Moon City to use them to get rid of him. However, he didn't expect that the other wouldn't even agree to his condition of letting him leave safely.
Just when he was at his wit's end, a loud howl suddenly sounded. It seemed to come from all directions and shook the earth.
Li Yunxiao was shocked. Under this howl, his eardrums stung and the blood in his body surged.
A beam of light descended from the sky and arrived in the small courtyard in an instant.
Li Yunxiao was extremely vigilant. He took a step forward and covered Lu Nanxi and his son in his attack range, ensuring that he could control the hostages.
"Patriarch!"
Everyone cried out in surprise, revealing looks of joy.
Lu Shubao also sighed in relief. With the patriarch here, everything would be easy. The responsibility on his shoulders wouldn't be so heavy.
The newcomer was dressed in purple, with an imposing appearance and an extraordinary bearing. It was the patriarch of the Lu family, Lu Zhiyuan. His face was cold and arrogant as he stared at Li Yunxiao a few times before saying, "Is this the restriction you placed on the ice sword?"
Li Yunxiao dug his earwax and said, "Why does that sound so annoying?"
Lu Zhiyuan said coldly, "Newborn calves don't fear tigers and don't know the meaning of the word death."
"Boom!"
Li Yunxiao's hammer smashed down. Lightning flashed in the air and directly smashed Lu Huafeng to the ground. His entire body collapsed in the small courtyard, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
Lu Zhiyuan and everyone else were stunned.
Li Yunxiao said lazily, "I already said that I can't take fright. If you do it again, I won't be able to control my trembling."
Lu Zhiyuan's expression immediately turned cold. He raised his right hand and a cold light flashed. The ice sword was directly stabbed into the ground.
Perhaps it was because of the story they had heard before, but everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
A trace of mockery appeared on Lu Zhiyuan's face as he mocked, "The sword is right in front of you, but do you have the guts to take it?"
