On top of a distant mountain, there was a vast expanse of white snow. Endless white mountain ranges could be seen everywhere in the Northern Ice Plains.
In this exotic environment, He Yiming had seen too much of the same scenery. He was no longer as excited and shocked as he was at the beginning.
However, at this moment, he still felt a little uneasy.
Because in front of him was the Ice Palace. It was the most important place in the Northern Ice Plains, and also the place where Yuan Lixun cultivated alone.
If he had come here a few years ago, He Yiming would definitely have come with a heart of pilgrimage. However, with the change in his strength and status, it was hard for him to have the same feelings.
"Senior, we're here," Xu Jun said excitedly.
As the patrolling envoy of the Ice Palace, Xu Jun had gone to the Ice Palace many times. But this time, he had a different feeling.
In Peng City, they had encountered a saint beast that was traveling with a herd of beasts. If He Yiming had not helped them, they might not have been able to return. Moreover, he had brought a truly powerful expert with him when he returned. This was a big deal for the entire Ice Palace.
He Yiming nodded his head slightly. His heart was filled with emotions. Back when Yuan Lixun left the main peak of the Heavenly Lake, if someone had told him that he would come to the Ice Palace with such an identity, he would definitely not have believed it. However, the changes in the past few years were truly dazzling. Even he himself felt as if he had fallen into a dream.
Sometimes, he was still worried that everything would leave him when he woke up.
This was the aftereffect of his strength jumping three levels. Although He Yiming was now close to being the world's number one expert, the determination in his heart paled in comparison to those experts who had taken one step at a time and spent hundreds of years to advance to this point.
As they got closer, they gradually saw a few figures on the mountain in the distance.
When they got closer, they could even see that there were a few people guarding the path to the mountain.
He Yiming glanced at them and immediately knew that they were disciples of the Ice Palace. However, their cultivation levels were at most Level Eight Internal Force.
Despite that, they did not have many clothes on even in this world of ice and snow. Moreover, they straightened their backs, held their heads high, and puffed out their chests. Their eyes were bright and spirited, and they were not affected by the cold air outside at all.
After seeing their standing posture, He Yiming secretly praised them in his heart.
Although these disciples with eighty percent inner strength already had a certain level of inner strength cultivation, they were still far from being invulnerable to the cold and heat. However, it was rare for him to maintain such a good mental state in such an environment.
He Yiming couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he thought about how the guards of the He Clan Manor were cowering in fear when he returned home.
The Ice Palace was a great sect with thousands of years of history. It was indeed not something that the He Family Village, which had only risen to power a few years ago, could compare to.
Xu Jun apologized to He Yiming and took the lead to run while shouting, "Patrol Envoy Xu Jun has returned to the Ice Palace. Let him in."
Under normal circumstances, the disciples with eighty percent inner strength would not dare to stop the Patrol Envoys no matter what. However, there was an exception today.
A person walked out quickly. He bowed deeply to Xu Jun and said, "Patrol Envoy Xu, Lord Sect Leader has given orders. During the beast tide, the Ice Palace will be under martial law. Anyone who enters or leaves must be recorded. Please forgive us."
Xu Jun's expression changed slightly. Although he was displeased, he did not dare to disobey the Sect Leader's order after hearing it.
Although his identity was respected in the Ice Field, compared to the strongest person in the sect, he was definitely a fluorescent light compared to the bright moon. The difference could not be measured.
Although the disciple guarding the Ice Palace was unwilling to let He Yiming enter the mountain easily, he did not dare to offend him easily.
The young man in front of him, who looked even younger than him, was actually called senior by the Patrol Envoy. From this, it could be seen that this person was definitely not someone he could offend.
Although he was under the Sect Leader's orders and Xu Jun did not dare to make things difficult for him, if he wanted to seek revenge after this, it would definitely be useless.
Therefore, he bowed respectfully to He Yiming. This etiquette was very thorough and he almost nodded his head.
"May I ask for senior's name? Please allow me to pass on the message."
As the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling person. Seeing the other party's humble attitude, He Yiming did not dare to show a hostile face.
He smiled slightly and said, "He Yiming."
The disciple guarding the Ice Palace did not have any expression. After all, his strength was too weak and he did not know much about the matters outside the mountain. However, Xu Jun's brows furrowed. Although the Northern Border was thousands of miles away from the Eastern Great Shen, and He Yiming's battle results had not been transmitted over yet, Xu Jun seemed to have some impression of this name. He seemed to have heard a few sentences from someone.
The guard continued to ask respectfully, "May I ask why senior has come to our sect?"
"I am looking for someone," He Yiming said slowly. "I am looking for Yuan Lixun."
"Ah …" Xu Jun's expression changed greatly. At this moment, he finally remembered who the person in front of him was.
After hearing Yuan Lixun, he finally remembered He Yiming's name. A few years ago, something extremely shocking happened in the Ice Palace.
Master Bing Xiaotian, who had not been involved in the Ice Palace's matters for a long time, suddenly announced that he would personally train a new disciple of the Ice Palace.
This news immediately caused an uproar in the Ice Palace. Everyone was guessing the relationship between this new disciple and Master Bing Xiaotian. If it were not for the huge difference in age and background, people would have suspected that the new disciple was a descendant of the old ancestor.
However, the elders in the Ice Palace did not say anything about this. It was not until a few years later that people realized that the disciple called Yuan Lixun was actually the person the sect leader had been searching for for over a hundred years. She had the Deep Cold Physique, a peerless talent.
Various versions of Yuan Lixun spread. The most recent rumors were about Elder Li Mingxuan and Zhuo Wanlian, who had returned from the Heavenly Lake.
The news they brought back shocked everyone. This Yuan Lixun's husband was actually called He Yiming. Moreover, this person had already become a Venerable.
This matter had once caused quite a commotion in the Ice Palace. However, in the end, the news was diluted because of the arrival of the strongest people at the pinnacle of humanity.
Xu Jun did not connect this Mr. He to He Yiming at first, but after hearing Yuan Lixun's name, he immediately understood his identity.
However, he was secretly complaining that Elder Li Mingxuan and Zhuo Wanlian had really misjudged him. This young man in front of him was not an expert who had just become a Venerable. He was clearly a Five Qi Great Venerable who had slaughtered sacred beasts like chickens.
The gatekeeper frowned and said, "Senior, Great Venerable Yuan Lixun is one of the sect's Grand Elders. She won't go out to meet guests."
His words were quite tactful. He only said this because he couldn't figure out He Yiming's identity and background. If it were another occasion, and someone suddenly jumped out and asked to meet the Elder who had just become a Great Venerable, he would have already captured that person and interrogated him.
He Yiming was slightly startled, then he smiled. Although he was quite angry, he would not vent it on this person.
He glanced around and immediately saw the sleeping Baozhu on the White Horse Lightning's head.
He had an idea. If Lixun saw the Baozhu, she would probably be pleasantly surprised.
He gently pulled the Baozhu up and whispered a few words. His voice was not very soft, but under the control of his vital energy, he did not miss a single word that went into the sleepy Baozhu's ears. He did not let anyone else hear a single word.
The sleepiness in the Baozhu's eyes immediately disappeared. It opened its mouth and seemed to be smiling foolishly. Then, its four little hooves slipped and it fell from He Yiming's hand.
Treasure Pig's entire body was snow-white, and its appearance was filled with naivety. Those guards were never on guard against such a little thing. Seeing it fall, the nearest guard subconsciously wanted to catch it.
However, before the guard could fully move, the Baozhu had already landed safely on the ground. Its four hooves seemed to be installed with springs. With a light jump, it immediately jumped high up into the air, forcibly leaping over the head of one of the disciples who was guarding it.
By the time the guards reacted, they sadly discovered that the cute little pig had already run off to who knows where.
Behind them, Xu Jun's eyes widened. He looked in the direction that the Baozhu had left and his heart was full of shock.
This little pig with a prettier appearance was actually a spirit beast? This thought almost caused his brain to crash.
It was very difficult for a human to have a spirit beast as a friend. As long as one had a spirit beast by their side, it was already considered quite a remarkable person. However, He Yiming actually had two spirit beasts by his side. This was too enviable.
The faces of the guards changed drastically, but they dared not make a fuss. Instead, they tried their best to rush up the mountain. Nonetheless, after running a few steps, they had no choice but to retreat.
This was because the little fellow was too fast, and even they could not see its whereabouts clearly.
For a moment, everyone seemed to be in a difficult position.
When they were guarding the mountain this time, the elder had said that if anyone dared to rush up the mountain, they must sound the horn to warn them. However, the person who had rushed up the mountain was not a human, but a strange little white pig.
Since this was something that had never happened before, the guards looked at each other, and none of them dared to make a decision.
Xu Jun did not know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at them and said, "Just report it to the higher-ups. Tell them the truth, and don't hide anything."
The leading disciple looked at him gratefully and replied, "Yes, sir."
He signaled someone with his eyes, and the person immediately ran up the mountain with all his might. (To be continued. If you want to know what happened next, please go to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
