Li Qingshan did not even have the strength to reply. The path ahead was covered in snow and wind. It seemed endless. He only had one thought, and he kept climbing.
Xuanyue suddenly whispered in his ear, "I'm sorry. Master has dragged you down." He let go of his arms powerlessly and fell into the abyss of snow and wind. His eyes were closed, and there was even a hint of a smile on his face. []
Li Qingshan subconsciously reached out with his right hand and grabbed her cold hand tightly.
He could not let go, but he could not take a step forward on the ice wall without his right hand. As he stopped moving, the cold invaded his body, and his blood gradually stopped flowing.
He was already three thousand feet above the ground. Even if it was him, if he fell, he would be smashed to pieces.
In the snowstorm, he finally let out a hysterical howl, like a trapped beast in a desperate situation.
In the snow and wind, two red lights approached, and a figure quickly climbed up.
Little Ann grabbed Xuanyue and carried her on Li Qingshan's back.
There was no need to exchange words. Li Qingshan's mouth had already frozen. He freed his right hand and continued climbing.
He suddenly saw the end of the seemingly endless ice cliff. He was only a few dozen feet from the top.
A large hand grabbed the edge of the cliff, and Li Qingshan climbed up with all his might. He no longer had any strength left in him. He forced himself to stay upright, and with trembling hands, he touched Mo Xuanyue's face. It was cold.
His chest did not beat.
She was already dead.
Li Qingshan suddenly burst into tears. A ray of light pierced through the snow, and the Soaring Dragon Elder appeared at the top of the cliff. His face was pale, and his clothes were tattered. He looked at Xuanyue on the ground, and an expression of "as expected" appeared on his face. His Meteor Sword. It was not something an ordinary Daemon General could bear.
However, just in case, he had chased after her at all costs. Furthermore, the things stored in Xuanyue's bell could make up for his losses. A Daemon General's Daemon Core was also very precious.
Li Qingshan wanted to fight for his life, but he did not even have the strength to do so. He questioned, "Why? What did she do wrong? "
"Because she's a demon, and so are you? That's wrong, "the Soaring Dragon Elder raised his Soaring Dragon Sword and swung it down without even looking at Little Ann, who was standing in front of Li Qingshan.
"I didn't kill you because you're human." A man stood in front of Li Qingshan. No one knew when he had appeared, including the Soaring Dragon Elder. It was as if he had been standing there since a long time ago, like an expert from ancient times to the future. Eternal and unchanging.
His figure could only be considered tall, and he did not emit any terrifying aura. However, in Li Qingshan's eyes, his back was even more majestic than the Ice Sword Cliff beneath his feet.
His skin was covered in a layer of navy blue. His sturdy physique didn't seem bulky at all. Instead, it was like the undulating peaks of a great mountain that had withstood thousands of years of wind and rain. Every part of it was natural and harmonious, condensing endless power.
Then, Li Qingshan saw a pair of ox horns on his head, one of which was broken. He couldn't help but call out, "Brother Ox!"
The Soaring Dragon Elder's eyes narrowed. Every part of his soul screamed out in warning. He had crossed countless battlefields and experienced countless dangers in his life, but none of them added up to the danger he was in right now.
He wanted to roar out furiously, he wanted to swing his sword. He wanted to use all the abilities and techniques he had learnt in his life, to unleash all of his power and trump cards, but he just happened to be unable to move a single finger. All he could do was stare at the man with widened eyes and say with an off-key voice, "W- who are you?" How could such a terrifying figure become the backer of two lesser daemons? The Divining Elder had never mentioned this, and the divination did not show anything either. It can't be. I won't die here.
Oxen did not answer his question. Instead, he continued, "I'm killing you because I want to!" He extended his right hand. With that, the Soaring Dragon Elder vanished from this world.
Yes, he had vanished. There were no signs, no powerful moves, no terrifying daemon qi, and the first elder of the Sword Collection palace, a Golden Core cultivator, who was renowned throughout the Green province, had been killed in such a straightforward manner.
"Brother Ox …" Li Qingshan opened his mouth, but he had no idea what to say. He had considered Oxen to be very powerful, but he never expected him to be so terrifying.
Oxen turned around and extended his hand before Li Qingshan. A jade ring lay there quietly. It was the Soaring Dragon Elder's sumeru ring. "I've turned you into this without your consent. You can treat this as my apology! I've left something in there for you. "
The value of a Golden Core cultivator's entire life's treasures was so great that it could even make the eyes of many disinterested cultivators green with greed. Even if a regular person sold everything they had, they would not be able to exchange it for a single item.
"I know you have many questions, but believe me, the answers you've found yourself are far more valuable than what I can give you. It's just like how I can give you the power to sweep through this world, but I don't, because the power you can find is a hundred times more powerful than what I can give you. Now, it's time for us to part. "
"What?"
"My existence has already been discovered by a certain person in the heavens. You'll have to walk your own path in the future. These days might have been short, but they've been very pleasant. Remember, don't lower your head to anyone or anything. You've once ridden on my back."
As he spoke, Oxen's figure gradually faded. His voice was like a great bell, shaking up mountains and thunder, shaking up Li Qingshan's soul.
"Hold on …" Li Qingshan extended his hand, but he only grabbed the ring.
Oxen vanished from the world, as if he had never existed in the first place. It was as if all these years and days were just a dream. Only his final words constantly echoed in Li Qingshan's heart.
"I'll wait for you above the heavens. I'll wait for the day when we stand shoulder to shoulder."
The sky above Ice Sword Cliff was completely barren. There was not a single blade of grass, only ice and snow. The clouds hung low over his head, and the snow that had yet to form beautiful snowflakes fell. The wind whistled, as if it was crying.
On the border between the Dragon province and the Green province, would people sometimes feel like they had nothing? Apart from an extremely distant, unreachable dream, there was only an ice-cold body in their arms, their tears frozen, and their souls numb from the bitter cold. The loneliness of the entire world surged into his heart.
Something gently touched him. He looked back and saw Little Ann. The two blood-red flames burned in the endless snow, wanting to give him some warmth, to tell him that he was not alone.
Gu Yanying stepped out of the wind and snow and said in surprise, "What's happened?" She took out a purple talisman and forcefully broke through the Soaring Dragon Elder's "Cage of Heaven and Earth", rushing to the cliff. However, Just Now, the Soaring Dragon Elder's presence had completely vanished. It had vanished completely.
Li Qingshan held Xuanyue's cold corpse in his arms. He did not reply, nor did he know how to reply.
Gu Yanying even felt a sliver of fear. A Golden Core elder had mysteriously vanished just like that. This would probably shake up the entire Green province.
Could it be that person from the Xuanyin sect? No, even if a Nascent Soul cultivator had the ability to kill a Golden Core cultivator, it was impossible for them to do it so silently. Even an ant knew how to struggle, let alone a Golden Core cultivator.
Did it have something to do with him? Gu Yanying glanced at Li Qingshan and then shook her head. Li Qingshan was just too weak. If he had such a terrifying background, how could he still have such a level of cultivation? Daemonic beasts that had yet to condense daemon cores were only at the fourth or fifth layer among Qi Practitioners.
Even though she was far more intelligent than ordinary people, her mind was still a mess. Tonight's events were really too strange.
"Leave her to me!"
Li Qingshan said, "I promised to take her to the Dragon province."
Gu Yanying said, "That's not a good place to go. You should return her to her master's side!"
Li Qingshan said, "That's her final wish."
"Final wish? She's not dead yet? "The corner of Gu Yanying's lips twitched.
"What!?" Li Qingshan was shocked. He checked Xuanyue's pulse in a hurry, but it was no longer beating. He looked at Gu Yanying in question.
Gu Yanying waved the fan in her hand towards the sky, and a tornado rushed into the sky. The thick clouds that were originally extremely low above their heads were pierced through by the tornado. The silver-blue moonlight was like a waterfall, or a searchlight that fell from the sky.
It shone on the Ice Sword Cliff and landed on Xuanyue. The surroundings were still surrounded by the howling blizzard, but this small region was so quiet and peaceful.
Her body glowed with silver-blue light. Gradually, it grew brighter and brighter. Her eyelashes seemed to tremble.
Under Li Qingshan's shocked gaze, Xuanyue slowly opened her eyes. "Where is this?" She blinked and looked around. "This is … the Ice Sword Cliff!"
Li Qingshan felt the body in his arms gradually regain warmth. He said in surprise, "What's going on?"
Gu Yanying said, "The Nine-lives Cat Daemon's innate trash ability."
Xuanyue said, "The one with the surname Gu, you're the trash!"
Gu Yanying said, "There's no way to resist in a dead state. Most people would cut open their stomachs and take out their daemon cores. If it's not trash, then what is it? This time, it's all thanks to … this guy. " She didn't know how to address Li Qingshan. He might not want others to know his human name after becoming like this!
Xuanyue said, "Blackie, you really brought me up here?"
Blackie? Gu Yanying's lips curled!
Li Qingshan was silent for a while, then roared, "Scoundrel, why didn't you say so earlier!" Making him sad for so long!
Xuanyue said, "Meow, hahahaha, didn't I say it? I won't die. "
Li Qingshan heaved a heavy sigh. He didn't want to pay attention to her, but he was indescribably happy.
At this moment, Xuanyue noticed the two crystalline streaks of frozen tears on Li Qingshan's face. She felt like something tugged at the depths of her heart. She extended her hand and touched his cheek. "Big Blacko, you're crying?"
Li Qingshan said, "Don't flatter yourself. It's just snow water."
Xuanyue moved closer to Li Qingshan's face. "Hehe, don't be shy. It's normal for pets to cry for their masters. Oh right, you promised to call me master. Hurry up and call me master!"
