"Thank you, Elder Bai!"
Zhang Xuan stood up and sent a telepathic message to Chen Leyao. "Chen Leyao, you are a core disciple of the Glacier Plain Court, so you shouldn't follow them. Also, don't stay in the Han Clan after I leave. Leave the city for now, and I'll contact you later!"
Due to her unique identity, it would be easy for her to be recognized if she followed behind Zhang Xuan.
As for having her leave, it would be much safer if she were to get into a conflict with the Glacier Plain Court.
"Yes!"
Chen Leyao nodded.
After instructing Elder Bai, Zhang Xuan placed the Inferno Qilin and Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast back into the Myriad Anthive Nest before leaving the Han Clan and heading toward the Glacier Plain Court.
The medicinal herbs that the Han Clan and Elder Bai had prepared beforehand had been fed to the two divine beasts. Coupled with the Heaven's Path zhenqi, they were able to recover swiftly. However, from the looks of it, it would take at least two to three days for them to make a full recovery.
I mustn't let them make a move unless the situation calls for it!
Zhang Xuan thought.
The two divine beasts had already sustained significant injuries from their battle with the First Elder, and they had to fight with Zhan shi and the others in the Sanctum of Sages and withstand the attack of the Formation of Sages. If not for their resilient constitutions, they might not even be able to stand at all.
While his Heaven's Path zhenqi was capable of treating all injuries, his cultivation was only at Phantasmal Space realm pinnacle at the moment. Against the injuries of Saint 9-dan experts, it was unlikely that he would be able to heal them at all. On top of that, the two divine beasts were massive in size. Even if he expended all of his zhenqi, he might not be able to fully recover.
As long as their injuries weren't healed, they wouldn't be able to fight with their full strength. Thus, it would be best for them to recuperate for the time being.
"Yang shi, this is the Glacier Plain Court. It has always prohibited outsiders from entering, so I'll have to trouble you a little."
After flying for a while, Elder Bai said as they arrived before a massive building.
"It's fine."
Zhang Xuan waved his hand before taking a closer look at the building.
The buildings in front of Xiao Chen were like crystals, giving off a faint light under the starry sky. White snow covered the surroundings, and there were translucent ice sculptures everywhere. Before Xiao Chen even arrived, it was as if he had entered a world of ice and snow.
"That's good!"
Elder Bai heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Zhang Xuan's nonchalance. She took the lead and walked through the entrance of the building, only to be stopped by two of her direct disciples.
"So it's Elder Bai. And this is …"
After recognizing Elder Bai, they immediately turned to look at Zhang Xuan.
"He is Han Chu of the Han Family. This time, he is here to deliver supplies. I also have something to discuss with him!" Elder Bai said.
"Yes!"
Hearing that he was from the Han Clan, the two disciples didn't make things difficult for him and stepped aside.
Following closely behind Elder Bai, Zhang Xuan walked forward.
There weren't too many people in the Glacier Plain Court at night, and it was extremely quiet. Treading through the thick layer of snow, Zhang Xuan finally arrived at an isolated residence.
"This is where I live. With my current strength, I can only bring Yang shi up to here. I won't be able to go anywhere else …"
Elder Bai pushed the door open and walked in.
"You only need to tell me where the Clear Serenity Hall is. You don't need to worry about anything else!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
He did not intend to let the other party bring him over. Firstly, it would be difficult for him to do so. Secondly, he was too big of a target, and it would be easy for him to be discovered.
"The Chanting Serenity Hall is about five kilometers southwest of here …"
Elder Bai explained the location and the appearance of the building to Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan committed the location to memory before heading to a room in the courtyard. He sat down cross-legged and set up a seal around the room to prevent others from peering in. Following which, he drew his soul out.
The Glacier Plain Court was filled with countless formations and experts. With his current strength, it was impossible for him to find Zhao Ya discreetly. Thus, he could only rely on his soul.
His soul was incorporeal and formless, and given his ability to discern the surroundings, it should be difficult for others to notice him if he were to sneak in discreetly.
However, his soul was simply too large at the moment, so he had to be careful.
After leaving the seal, Zhang Xuan stealthily left the courtyard.
Through his Eye of Insight and his comprehension of formations, the formations around him didn't pose the slightest hindrance to him. After walking for five kilometers, he finally saw a towering building before him.
This should be the Clear Serenity Hall!
The building was identical to what Elder Bai had said. Most likely, it was where Zhao Ya was imprisoned.
"What a powerful formation!"
Taking a look around, Zhang Xuan saw a massive formation in operation. It was on par with the Guardian Formation of the Sanctum of Sages.
As formidable as this formation is, it has far more flaws than the one in the Sanctum of Sages. It shouldn't be too difficult for me to sneak in …
To others, the formation might have been flawless, but to Zhang Xuan, it was filled with flaws. No matter how powerful one was, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to sneak in.
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to dive in, he suddenly heard a rustling sound in the distance. Raising his eyebrows, he hurriedly hid in the snow by the side.
Barely after he was done hiding, he saw two figures walking over.
They were two young ladies. From their backs, it was impossible to discern their ages, but from their exposed skin, it was clear that they were not young.
"Powerful!"
Taking a closer look, the duo's aura felt reminiscent of dragons. Even though they weren't intentionally releasing it, they still exerted a powerful pressure on others. This was especially so for the young lady on the left. While she couldn't match up to the First Elder of the Zhang clan, she was on par with Zhang Wuchen.
"Could they be … the First Elder?"
His eyebrows twitched.
He had intended to look for Zhao Ya discreetly without anyone noticing him, but who would have thought that before he could meet her, he would meet this person first?
If it really was the First Elder, it would be troublesome if he was discovered.
At the very least, the other party's current strength was not something that he could contend against.
"What do you think? What did she say? "
Just as Zhang Xuan was trying to figure out who the person before him was, he heard the other party's hushed voice.
"I don't agree!" Another person beside him said.
"Humph, it's not up to her. Last time, I spoiled her too much, and that's why her mother escaped. This time, it won't happen again!" The woman suspected to be the 'First Elder' said coldly.
"But … as long as she doesn't agree, we can't keep her locked up like this!"
The other person continued.
"You don't have to keep her locked up. Let her suffer for two days first!"
The 'Great Elder' waved his hand. "By the way, doesn't she have a teacher? I heard that she's quite respectful. Think of a way to capture her … and use her as a hostage. Let's see if she'll listen to your orders! "
"Her teacher? That Zhang Xuan? Our Glacier Plain Court is indebted to him … "
"Humph, so what if he is indebted to him? That matter is of utmost importance. As long as we succeed, the Glacier Plain Court will rise to a whole new level, and no one will be able to turn us down! "the 'Great Elder' said with a wave of her hand.
"You want to capture me?"
Hidden in the snow, Zhang Xuan's face darkened.
"Hmm? Who is it? "
The First Elder's emotions fluctuated, and he immediately realized that something was amiss. He abruptly turned around and stared at the place where Zhang Xuan was hiding.
