The mountain wind blew, bringing with it waves of chilliness. However, to a cultivator, this bit of chilliness was not even worth mentioning.
He Yiming and the other two stood on the mountain path. Li Mingxuan was obviously waiting for Sect Master Sakyamuni's summon, and He Yiming could only accompany her.
Nevertheless, Li Mingxuan's attitude finally changed after Yuan Lixun was mentioned, and her gaze toward He Yiming was much gentler.
"Don't worry, Lixun received personal guidance from Sect Master as soon as she arrived at the Ice Palace. She was also given our sect's greatest treasure, the Icicle Mirror." When she said this, other than pride, there was even more envy in her eyes.
He Yiming frowned and asked, "The Icicle Mirror?"
Li Mingxuan answered proudly, "That's right, the Icicle Mirror." She glanced at He Yiming with a mocking smile as though she was laughing at him for not knowing about the treasure.
He Yiming shifted his gaze to Zhuo Wanlian. Since Li Mingxuan did not want to say it, there was naturally someone else who would.
Sure enough, under He Yiming's oppressive gaze, Zhuo Wanlian smiled bitterly and said, "Venerable He, the Icicle Mirror is indeed our sect's greatest treasure, and it has always been kept by Sect Master. This time, after Sect Master met Miss Yuan, she immediately gave the treasure to her and personally gave her guidance to help her break through to the Venerable One realm. "
He Yiming's face became more grave. He knew very well that there was no love or hate in this world for no reason.
Yuan Lixun actually received such an unbelievable treatment after going to the Northern Border. To an ordinary person, this was naturally a great thing that they could only wish for.
However, for He Yiming, he had to consider the consequences that would follow.
The fact that the Ice Palace was willing to put in so much effort for Yuan Lixun meant that they must be asking for something big.
At the very least, He Yiming did not believe that the Ice Palace would cultivate Yuan Lixun at all costs just because of her Extreme Cold Physique. That was absolutely impossible.
As He Yiming's face gradually became gloomy, the surrounding inexplicably rippled with a tense atmosphere.
It was caused by the powerful aura that was being emitted from his body.
Zhuo Wanlian's face turned slightly red. Although the aura wasn't directed at him, he still felt a bone-piercing chill. Moreover, the pressure was gradually increasing, as if it was going to completely squash him.
Li Mingxuan's face also slowly changed. After sensing He Yiming's aura, she suddenly realized that the person in front of her did not seem to be a simple newly advanced Venerable One. Even she felt a chill run down her spine when she sensed the aura emanating from his body.
Moreover, within this aura, there was a faint, unimaginable trace of killing intent. It was precisely because of this murderous aura that made her tremble in fear.
In actuality, He Yiming had killed quite a few Venerable Ones, so he had unknowingly developed a killing intent that could make equal-ranked powerhouses fearful.
"Venerable One Li," He Yiming said sternly, "do you still remember the agreement from 3 years ago?"
Li Mingxuan was slightly stunned. "What agreement?"
"You said that as long as He can become a Venerable One, you'll tell him the truth as to why you insist on taking Lixun as your disciple," He Yiming explained.
He spoke very slowly, but he carried a power that could not be ignored. It seemed like he would not stop until Li Mingxuan gave him an explanation.
A trace of anger flashed across Li Mingxuan's face, but for some reason, when she saw He Yiming's eyes and felt the powerful aura coming from his body, she felt a faint chill in her heart and subconsciously didn't dare to act out.
Li Mingxuan cursed internally, but she still said, "I did say that. Now that you've become a Venerable One, I won't hide it anymore."
He Yiming grinned and said, "Please enter the pavilion, and we'll talk slowly."
Although Ai Wenbin had brought her letter to the peak, He Yiming knew it would be impossible for the letter to be sent to the sect master quickly.
Since that was the case, they could sit down and talk slowly.
Li Mingxuan hesitated for a while before she followed him into the pavilion.
There were naturally disciples that were specifically waiting and serving them here, but they disappeared as soon as He Yiming waved his hand.
"Venerable One Li, please tell me the truth." He Yiming cupped his hands and asked sincerely.
Li Mingxuan answered coldly, "It's actually very simple. Our sect's great ancestor passed down a message 200 years ago, asking us to look for unique talents with the Deep Cold Physique. If anyone can take such a person under their wing, they will receive a reward that will move anyone's heart. "
With Li Mingxuan's status, it was easy to imagine how valuable the reward would be when she mentioned something that would move anyone's heart.
However, He Yiming wasn't interested in this at all. He had a lot of such rewards in his hands.
Black iron, Dragon Snake Horn, and even the Divine Soldier weapon that he smithed using the Nine Dragons Furnace would move countless people.
"Venerable One Li, why did your sect's great ancestor do that?" He Yiming asked in confusion.
Li Mingxuan spread out her hands and shook her head. "I don't know."
He Yiming's eyes flickered, and he asked in a deep voice, "You really don't know?"
Li Mingxuan scoffed angrily and said, "Why would I lie to you?" She paused for a moment before she continued, "However, the main reason why I want to take Lixun as my disciple is that I hit it off with her. It's just that the sect master once said that she's looking for people with the Deep Cold Physique to nurture them into ice-type Venerables. Although I'll need her to do something in the future, it won't be life-threatening. "
He Yiming's lips curled into a cold smile. It was as he had expected. If there were not enough benefits to drive her, the Ice Palace's Sect Master would not have invested so much on a stranger.
"Venerable One Li, do you know what your sect master wants Lixun to do?"
"I don't know," Li Mingxuan answered firmly.
He Yiming's eyes gradually sharpened, and the atmosphere became oppressive and tense again.
Zhuo Wanlian suddenly took a step back and leaned heavily on the pavilion's side. His head was drenched in cold sweat. Under He Yiming's pure aura, he could no longer hold on.
Li Mingxuan's expression changed. "Venerable One He, I only know that it's related to the Ice Island that appears once in a thousand years."
He Yiming withdrew his aura, and only then did Zhuo Wanlian let out a long sigh of relief. He looked at He Yiming with eyes full of fear. When they first met, He Yiming had only just advanced to One-Line-Sky. Now that they had not met for a few years, the difference between them was like heaven and earth.
With his cultivation, he could not even resist He Yiming's aura. This change made him feel disheartened.
"Where's the Ice Island that appears once in a thousand years?" He Yiming asked sternly.
Li Mingxuan's face darkened. "I don't know. This is our sect's top secret. Not many people know about it. However … "She dragged her voice a little." This time, I left the northern border for the northwest because of this Ice Island. I want to see your sect's sect master. "
He Yiming's heart became more and more unsettled.
If Li Mingxuan wasn't lying, then the Ice Island was definitely a matter of great importance. Even the Sect Master couldn't ignore it.
Therefore, Yuan Lixun's relationship with the Ice Island was not a good thing no matter how one looked at it.
Even if she became a Venerable One in the end, in the eyes of those top figures, she was at most a pawn that could be used.
Just as He Yiming was hesitating, two people rushed over. They were Ai Wenbin, who had just left, and the Xiantian realm old servant that He Yiming had seen at the Oracle's residence.
At this moment, Ai Wenbin's face was unusually solemn. There was even a trace of disbelief in his eyes.
He Yiming's heart trembled. He vaguely guessed that perhaps Li Mingxuan was right. The Great Ancestor was going to make an exception and summon this person.
Sure enough, when Ai Wenbin arrived, he immediately said, "Venerable Li, our sect's sect master wants to see you. Please follow Brother Zhang."
Li Mingxuan nodded slightly and glanced at the old servant.
Although this person's cultivation was only at the Xiantian realm, Ai Wenbin was very polite to him and even let him lead the way to meet the sect master. It could be seen that this person was not an ordinary Xiantian.
Thinking of this, Li Mingxuan's face squeezed out a smile. After greeting the old servant, she followed them.
After they were far away, He Yiming said apologetically, "Brother Zhuo, I'm sorry about just now."
Zhuo Wanlian smiled bitterly. He naturally understood He Yiming's meaning. He shook his head and said, "Venerable He, you're too polite."
Ai Wenbin retracted his gaze from the mountain path and suddenly asked, "Zhuo Wanlian, did your sect only send out one group of envoys?"
He Yiming's heart trembled. Ai Wenbin obviously knew more than he did. Could it be that he had already guessed something by asking this question?
Zhuo Wanlian said solemnly, "Senior, as far as I know, our sect did not only send out one group of envoys."
"How many other groups are there? Where did they go?" Ai Wenbin continued to ask.
Zhuo Wanlian hesitated for a long time, as if he could not bear Ai Wenbin's sharp gaze. Finally, he said softly, "I don't know the exact number of groups. However, I can confirm that the Great Shen Kingdom's Divine Wind Palace and the Southern Xinjiang's Boundless Liuli Cave should have received the corresponding information. "
He Yiming sucked in a breath of cold air. Although he knew that the Ice Island, which appeared once in a thousand years, was no small matter, he had never imagined that it would cause such a huge reaction.
The people that Zhuo Wanlian had mentioned were some of the most powerful people in the world.
They had long stopped traveling the world and were in seclusion.
Anything that could alarm any one of them was no small matter. If it was really related to all of them, then this matter would be earth-shattering.
Ai Wenbin seemed to have expected this, so he was not surprised at all. He only said slowly, "What message did you bring?"
Zhuo Wanlian gritted his teeth and said loudly, "As far as I know, our sect's ancestor has invited these people to the Northern Xinjiang to discuss an important matter."
PS: Once the White Crane started canvassing for votes, there would always be people who would jump out and say that the White Crane rigged the votes. Yesterday and today, there were at least three people. One said that the White Crane had 900 votes even though it had not been updated. Another said that the White Crane had more than 1,000 votes in one day. Another said that the votes were cast by the registration number of November 09.
I say … Bah!
The heavens are watching what people do. If the White Crane rigged the votes, then it would be a waste of its two years of hard work. It would be a waste of its 105,000 every day.
Even in front of the Qidian editor who could check the background, the White Crane still said the same thing. Other than the nine high verified accounts, the White Crane did not spend a single cent on rigging the votes!
Everyone who said that the White Crane rigged the votes … Scram!
Besides, the White Crane just wanted to write properly. That's all. Friends who are thinking for the White Crane, please restrain yourself and stop making a fuss. Otherwise, there would be people who would jump out and attack the White Crane. Just looking at it made one's heart feel stifled.
If one's heart was stifled, how would they be able to persevere for a month? Therefore, everyone, please stop talking.
The White Crane said that it only wanted to see how many votes it could get this month. That's all.
Thank you …
In the end, it was still the same old saying: work hard to get more votes. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
