The room immediately fell into silence, and even became a little nervous.
Yi Zhongtian and Xu Jun looked at each other. They never would have thought that He Yiming's destination would be the Ice Palace.
As an envoy of the Ice Palace, Xu Jun was rather familiar with the geography of the north. The reason why he volunteered to lead the way was because he had his own thoughts. However, he was also very confident that he would be able to find the place no matter which corner it was.
However, when he learned that He Yiming's destination was the Ice Palace, he could not help but be shocked. This was because no matter how hard he thought, he could not remember when the Ice Palace had contact with such a peak expert.
Clearing his throat, Yi Zhongtian asked in a deep voice, "Senior He, may I ask why you're heading to the Ice Palace?"
With the difference in strength between him and He Yiming, he did not have the right to ask such a question. However, as a disciple of the Ice Palace, he would not be at ease if he did not know the reason.
He Yiming maintained a warm smile on his face. "Didn't He say that I'm going to the Ice Palace to visit a friend?"
Yi Zhongtian let out a sigh of relief. Since he was going to visit a friend, he obviously would not be an enemy. He smiled awkwardly and said, "May I ask which elder of the Ice Palace is on good terms with senior He?"
He Yiming's eyes lit up. He said with a half-smile, "Brother Yi, are you interrogating me about my origins?"
Yi Zhongtian's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly waved his hand. "I wouldn't dare. Senior, please don't misunderstand."
Zhang Bolin and Chen Linxi glared fiercely at him. The three of them were secretly annoyed. Even if you want to ask, don't ask now. If you make Mr. He angry and kick us out, I doubt anyone will say a word about it.
Xu Jun hurriedly said, "Please calm down, senior. We just want to ask so that we can report the good news."
He Yiming chuckled. "There's no need to report the good news. Just take me to the Ice Palace." He paused and said, "According to He's knowledge, the Ice Palace's sect master has already come out of seclusion. Are you afraid that I'll cause trouble in the Ice Palace?"
Yi Zhongtian blushed slightly and said awkwardly, "This junior doesn't dare."
The two of them were indeed worried about why He Yiming had gone to the Ice Palace, but they also knew that since Master Bing Xiaotian had come out of seclusion, the Ice Palace basically had a peak expert of humanity watching over it. Under these circumstances, they naturally wouldn't think that He Yiming was going there for revenge.
He Yiming gently waved his hand and said, "He wants to rest for a while. If there are no problems, let's set off tomorrow."
Yi Zhongtian and the others stood up at the same time. Just as they bowed and left, they saw a bag float out. It was the bag that contained the Connate spirit beast hide.
He Yiming had already obtained the Holy Beast Neidan and its materials. So, he naturally wouldn't put a mere Xiantian Spirit Beast in his eyes.
After Zhang Bolin and the other two expressed their gratitude, they left on the same day. The three of them had a bountiful harvest this time. Among them, the six Neidan Realm Stones made them feel uneasy. After leaving Peng City, they returned to Great Shen of the East as quickly as possible. They could only truly relax in the environment they were most familiar with.
In the following period of time, they heard countless rumors in the jianghu and guessed the background of the unfathomable Mr He.
And they also understood why Mr He ignored the Connate Neidan Realm Stones that countless people fought over. Because with his status, he wouldn't care about these little things at all.
When they thought about how they were lucky enough to get along with a peak expert of humanity in the northern border and fight side by side with him, they couldn't help but feel excited.
To them, this was the glory of a lifetime.

The next day, when He Yiming opened the door early in the morning, Yi Zhongtian had already been waiting outside for a long time. Furthermore, he respectfully reported to He Yiming that Xu Jun and the others were already prepared and were waiting for him to set off.
He Yiming rejected the carriage that Peng City had prepared for him. Riding the White Horse Lightning with a beautiful headdress, he quickly headed to the Ice Palace Sacred Land with Xu Jun in this world of ice and snow.
Although there was also a group of people around Xu Jun, He Yiming only gave them a slight glare, and Xu Jun immediately dispersed everyone with a simple and light outfit.
Although the rest of the people muttered in secret, no one was worried about their safety.
Although the entire Ice Field was in the midst of the beast horde, these two people were not ordinary people. Even Xu Jun was a Xiantian Ranker, while the other was a mysterious guest who could kill a Saint Beast.
If these two people worked together on the ice field, they wouldn't be in any danger unless they encountered the legendary top sacred beast.
However, those people didn't know that even if they encountered the top sacred beast, they wouldn't be in any danger. Instead, it was the unlucky sacred beast that would be in danger.
The scenery of the ice field was almost the same. Other than the ups and downs of the terrain, in this season, the roads would definitely be blocked by heavy snow. However, this didn't pose much of an obstacle to He Yiming and Xu Jun. Although Xu Jun's mount couldn't be compared to the White Horse Lightning, it was still a precious horse that was one in a thousand. Its galloping speed was definitely not slow.
The two of them didn't travel at night. When the sun was about to set, they stopped to set up their tents. When the sky was about to brighten, they put away their tents and continued on their journey.
He Yiming didn't reject this method and he didn't need to do anything in the process. After Xu Jun realized He Yiming's true strength, he took all the workers over and treated He Yiming as if he was an elder in the sect.
Of course, along the way, he had also used different methods to vaguely mention twice that he wanted to know which elder in the sect He Yiming wanted to visit. However, He Yiming dealt with it all with a smile. After two fruitless probings, Xu Jun tactfully stopped asking. Instead, he concentrated on taking care of the food and accommodation along the way.
He Yiming didn't have any objections to his arrangements. This was the first time Xu Jun met such an easy-going "elder". However, the only thing he criticized was that He Yiming didn't like to enter the city. Even if he slept at night, he would still sleep in the wastelands outside.
Fortunately, Xu Jun was also skilled and daring. Otherwise, if this happened a few more times, even he would collapse.
On this day, seeing that the sun was about to set, Xu Jun stopped and bowed. "Elder He, can we set up camp?"
He was just asking out of habit because He Yiming didn't ask about this for the past few days. However, it was obviously different this time. He Yiming waved his hand and looked around as if he noticed something unusual.
Xu Jun's face immediately tensed up. He had long admired He Yiming's strength. If He Yiming noticed something unusual, it definitely wasn't a small matter.
After a long time, He Yiming still maintained his original posture, but a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
Xu Jun asked carefully, "Elder He, did you notice anything?"
He Yiming glanced at him and asked in a deep voice, "Do you feel like you're being followed?"
"Followed?" Xu Jun subconsciously looked behind him. Then, he activated his True Energy, and quietly searched for any movement in his surroundings. Nonetheless, he gave up after a brief moment because he suddenly remembered that if He Yiming couldn't be sure, it would be useless no matter how hard he tried.
"Elder, I didn't notice anything," Xu Jun answered seriously.
He Yiming silently furrowed his eyebrows. Today, he had a rather strange feeling in his heart, and the later it was, the more obvious the feeling became. That said, the feeling didn't seem to carry any killing intent, but it still made He Yiming's hair stand on end.
This was because the power's murderous aura was too strong. It was a kind of murderous aura that had been concealed and didn't leak out much. If someone released the murderous aura in front of him, even if the person knew that the person would not hurt him, he would still be scared to the ground.
He Yiming clicked his tongue in wonder. The world was vast, and there were as many experts as there were clouds, but a powerhouse with such a murderous aura had actually appeared.
Before this, he seemed to have only had a similar feeling from one creature, which was the Dragonsnake from Crying Ghost Ridge. The mighty fellow with the bloodline of a divine beast indeed had a murderous aura that had settled down for over 10,000 years. That said, the murderous aura didn't all come from the spiritual snake; it came from Crying Ghost Ridge, which was filled with murderous aura.
Nevertheless, after leaving Crying Ghost Ridge, He Yiming sensed so much murderous aura from someone for the first time. At this moment, He Yiming's heart was pounding. 'Has someone figured out how to use the power of the murderous aura?'
He Yiming shook his head gently and breathed in the fresh air in front of him. He said slowly, "Xu Jun, there's no need to set up a tent today. I'll be going out for a while, so wait for me here."
Xu Jun secretly complained and hurriedly asked, "Elder, where are you going?"
He Yiming scoffed and looked at him maliciously. "Do you really want to know?"
Xu Jun was startled, then he quickly shook his head and answered, "I don't want to know."
He thought to himself, 'These old monsters are all strange. Could it be that there's really a powerhouse of the same level following behind them?' 'If that's the case, I mustn't interfere. Otherwise, if I get involved in a battle of this level, I'll definitely die.'
He Yiming smiled with satisfaction. His figure flashed, and he was already on the White Horse Lightning. He gently turned the horse's head, and a white light suddenly flashed. He Yiming hugged Baozhu and rode the white horse, disappearing in an instant.
Looking in the direction He Yiming left, and the faintly visible white light spots quickly merged into the line between heaven and earth, Xu Jun had a vague feeling in his heart.
Perhaps someone was really following them in the distance.
He looked around and quickly set up the tent that had already been set up. In fact, with his cultivation, he was not afraid of the cold at all. However, at this moment, he was silently praying in his heart that the battle between the two super powerhouses would not be a life-and-death battle. Otherwise, it would be terrible if he was left in this place to be blown by the cold wind.
