"It's been a hundred years, everything has been wasted. Am I going to die here?"
She looked towards the north with despair in her eyes. Between life and death, no one could change anything. It was quite ironic that she was killed by the Snow Ground Ice Apes because of her greed.
Although she tried her best to resist, it was still difficult to break through the three beasts' encirclement. Snow and wind filled the air, making it difficult for her to move.
"Three beasts, get out of my way!"
Suddenly, when she was in despair, a burly figure holding the Great Way appeared and landed in front of her and the Snow Ground Ice Apes.
"Lady, leave these three beasts to me. You just watch from the side."
The deep and rough voice was filled with endless killing intent as it stared straight at the three beasts.
There was a glimmer of hope in the eyes of the woman in white. Was there finally hope? Looks like Heaven was still waiting for her.
The middle-aged man's beard was loose and unkempt, but his eyes were like torches. Wherever his long blade pointed, he directly clashed with the three fierce beasts. The blade was resplendent, and wherever it went, it directly cut off the arm of a Snow Ground Ice Ape, causing the other two fierce beasts to be shocked. With a furious roar, they charged forward. Under the suppression of the middle-aged man, the three fierce beasts did not have the slightest chance. They were completely blocked. The middle-aged man's every step was filled with killing intent. Within a hundred moves, he had swept away the three fierce beasts. This scene caused a trace of fear to appear in the eyes of the white-clothed lady.
"What a powerful technique!"
The white-clothed lady was shocked. That person's strength had reached the Middle Hierarch Realm, which was quite terrifying. Facing the three ferocious beasts, he was able to defeat them with lightning speed. It was impossible for her to do that.
The three beasts were instantly killed by the middle-aged man. The lady was relieved that she had just brushed shoulders with death.
"Lady, you're frightened. Snow Ground Ice Apes often appear in the deep mountains. These Snow Ground Ice Apes should be the strongest elder-level beasts. They're not simple."
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"Thank you senior for saving my life. I'm Yuki Chihyeon. Nice to meet you."
Yuki Chihyeon smiled bitterly. She was very grateful to the middle-aged man.
"What a good name. Young Lady's appearance is so shocking that it can cause the downfall of a city and state. You've really shocked me. If I didn't already have a wife and concubines, I would definitely go through fire and water for Young Lady. Hahaha."
The middle-aged man laughed and said. He couldn't help but take another look at Yuki Chihyeon with a strange light in his eyes.
The corner of Yuki Chihyeon's mouth twitched slightly, looking a little embarrassed.
"Senior must be joking. I will never forget your kindness in saving my life. "
"Seeing that you're heavily injured, it's inconvenient for you to move around. Why don't you return to the mansion with me and recuperate for a while? It won't be too late to make a decision after you've recovered. This seat is the Realm Lord of the Netherpassage Realm. The five hundred thousand li of Wolf Serpent Mountain is completely under my control. "
"You are Tao Qianjun! The Realm Lord of the Netherpassage Realm, Tao Qianjun! "
Yuki Chihyeon exclaimed. Her pretty face slightly changed. She had been in the Wolf Serpent Mountain for more than ten years. She naturally knew who the master of the Wolf Serpent Mountain was. It was the Realm Lord of the Netherpassage Realm, Tao Qianjun. However, Tao Qianjun's arrogance made Yuki Chihyeon somewhat disapprove. The Wolf Serpent Mountain stretched across more than half of Moro Prefecture. If it was said that Tao Qianjun was in charge of the entire Wolf Serpent Mountain, he was still somewhat arrogant.
But even so, Yuki Chihyeon was incomparably shocked. She was actually saved by the overlord of the Wolf Serpent Mountain, the Realm Lord of the Netherpassage Realm. This was truly a fortune.
"Qianying is afraid that it will be inconvenient. It's better that I don't go. This trip will definitely cause many troubles. Your great kindness is something that I can't repay. If there's anything you need me to do in the future, I will definitely die ten thousand times. "
Yuki Chihyeon cupped her hands in obeisance and said.
"Hey, don't be so polite. You're now seriously injured. If anything happens to you in the Wolf Serpent Mountain, I'm afraid it'll only bode ill for you. Even I can't save you every time. Haha, let's go back to my residence to recuperate first before making a decision. You definitely want a safe environment to recuperate and cannot be disturbed. My Netherpassage Realm is also the only choice."
Tao Qianjun still insisted.
"Then … alright, then I'll have to trouble the Realm Lord."
Yuki Chihyeon said hesitantly. It was difficult to refuse Tao Qianjun's kindness. Moreover, he had saved her. Yuki Chihyeon really couldn't refuse.
Netherpassage Realm, Tianguang City.
As the largest city in the Netherpassage Realm, and also the place where the Realm Lord of the Netherpassage Realm resided, it was incomparably peaceful and serene within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles. No one dared to cause trouble in the Netherpassage Realm of the Western Pole Divine Region.
However, it was difficult to live up to its reputation. Undercurrents were surging in the Netherpassage Realm. On the surface, it looked calm, but in reality, it was full of turbulence.
In the City Lord's residence, there were thousands of pavilions and towers. The land was vast, incomparably luxurious, incomparably magnificent.
However, to Yuki Chihyeon, this place was like a cage. Yuki Chihyeon had already stayed here for more than a year.
In the hall, at this moment, Tao Qianjun had a difficult expression on his face. His face was filled with worry as he paced back and forth in the hall. On this day, it just so happened that Yuki Chihyeon wanted to bid farewell to Tao Qianjun.
"Senior, why are you so worried?"
Yuki Chihyeon asked.
"Sigh, it's difficult. The City Lord's residence is currently on the verge of collapse."
Tao Qianjun said with a bitter smile. The corners of his mouth were filled with helplessness, as if he had suffered a huge blow. Even his appearance had aged a lot in an instant.
"How could this be? If Senior has any difficulties, you can tell me. If Qianying can help, I will definitely do my best. "
Yuki Chihyeon said.
"Really?"
Tao Qianjun's eyes lit up, but then he shook his head. His heart was filled with hesitation, and he did not continue speaking in the end.
"My life was saved by Senior. Now that Senior is in deep trouble, how can I sit back and do nothing?"
Yuki Chihyeon knew that she had to return this favor. Otherwise, her heart would always be filled with entanglement. She never liked to owe anyone anything. Now that she was about to leave, she did not want to leave any regrets behind for Tao Qianjun.
"This matter has nothing to do with you. I cannot drag you into this."
Tao Qianjun said with a straight face and righteous tone. He was completely unwilling to drag Yuki Chihyeon into this.
"I understand Senior's words, but I, Yuki Chihyeon, do not like to owe anyone anything. If there's any help, Yuki Chihyeon will naturally do her best. I will definitely not make things difficult for Senior."
"Sigh, since you insist, I'll tell you."
Tao Qianjun pondered for a moment.
"It's like this. Presently, the entire Netherpassage World is in turmoil. Two great powers are coveting my Netherpassage World, and it's even to the extent that there are people trying to obstruct us. Presently, I'm in a dilemma. At this time, I can only push my daughter, Tao Lianlian, forward. For the safety of the entire Netherpassage World, for the survival of the entire Tao Clan, this is the last method. But Lianlian committed suicide at this moment. Even though I've saved her, there's nothing I can do. Presently, the two great powers will probably charge over here in no time. Originally, I intended to use Lianlian to find a spouse through a martial competition and let the two great powers deal with me. So long as any one of them is able to successfully form a marriage alliance with my Tao Clan, then it would surely form a triangular force. At the very least, it would ensure the safety of my Tao Clan and the safety of the Netherpassage World. Unfortunately, Lianlian would rather die than agree. As her father, I almost ended her life. "
Tao Qianjun sighed with extreme emotion.
