Early morning, the sun had just risen.
Today was a good day and the sky was clear.
Ever since the spiritual changes in nature happened one after another a few days ago, the surrounding territories had been covered in clouds. Either the wind was howling or the rain was pouring down. But it was much better in the past two days. Especially today, when the sun had just risen, it was as though all the haze had been swept away.
But today was not as simple as good weather, it was also a day of celebration.
Because everyone knew that today was the day of the Profound Ice Sect's succession ceremony, all the reputable figures from the surrounding large sects, large clans, and large sects had all headed to the Profound Ice Territory to congratulate them.
On the way to the Profound Ice Land, a large carriage was moving at an extremely fast speed.
The driver was a short and fat man wearing a bamboo hat. He was wearing a tailor-made robe and at this moment, he was standing on the carriage with one hand holding the reins and the other waving a whip. At the end, he was even shouting from time to time!
The four fine horses were all intelligent White Flame Horses. The big carriage seemed to be quite old, and its surface seemed to be a little shabby. Its entire body was copper in color, and it gave off an ancient feeling. There was a man sitting in the big carriage.
A man who looked to be in his early twenties was wearing a clean and tidy white robe. His long black hair was casually draped over his shoulders and a rather handsome face had a leisurely expression. At this moment, he was leaning against the window with one leg crossed over the other as he admired the surrounding scenery and drank a little wine at the same time. He was very relaxed.
Clean white robe, casual black hair.
A handsome face, a leisurely expression.
There was no vigorous vitality, only a lazy lethargy.
Who else could it be but Gu Qingfeng.
He was heading to the Mysterious Ice Sect to participate in the Mysterious Ice Sect's succession ceremony.
To be honest, Gu Qingfeng did not want to go. As for becoming Dao companions with Leng Yanqiu of the Mysterious Ice Sect and grafting karma, he was not interested in this kind of nonsense. Not to mention what karma was, he did not know. Even if he knew, what could he do? Grafting? If karma could be grafted, why would Yun Nishang bury her soul in Ouyang Ye's bloodline?
So, he was too lazy to mess around and dual cultivate with a little girl?
What a joke.
He knew better than anyone how complicated dual cultivation was. Even if he knew what karma was, even if karma could really be grafted onto him, he still wouldn't do it. This was because before the catastrophe, he had already sworn that he would never dual cultivate with anyone again.
That's right.
He had sworn an oath.
This time, he went to the Mystic Ice Sect to clarify this matter.
Most importantly, he really couldn't stand Huo De's coaxing and pestering. He said that the Yunxia School had been despised by others for hundreds of years, especially the Mysterious Ice Sect. Back then, because of the dual cultivation agreement between the two sects, a few of them had even been beaten up by the Mysterious Ice Sect. They had been holding this grudge for hundreds of years. Now that they finally had such a good opportunity, Huo De, that old fellow, was thinking about how he had to go to the Mysterious Ice Sect to vent his grudge. At the very least, he had to get back the face that he had lost back then.
For this reason, Huo De had begged for several days. Gu Qingfeng had no choice but to agree. In his opinion, it wasn't difficult to get back his face for his old friend. It was nothing more than acting like a wolf.
"Féquy, do you know the way? Did you go the wrong way?"
Gu Qingfeng looked around. Not only was this lousy place cold, but it was also barren. There wasn't even a trace of human habitation.
"Young Master, you asked me to take you around to see the scenery …"
Féquy felt very wronged. When they came, Gu Qingfeng said that he wanted to see the scenery. Féquy thought that there wasn't much scenery to see on the official road, so they could only take a more remote path.
"It's true that you want to see the scenery, but in this shabby place, there are only barren mountains. What's there to see?"
"Young Master, this is a small path. It'll be much better when we reach the Mysterious Ice Sect …"
"Alright, let's hurry."
Gu Qingfeng waved his hand, indicating for Féquy to continue driving. He poured himself a cup of wine. Just as he drank it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Looking up, he saw a white crane flying in the sky. On the white crane sat a panic-stricken girl who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old.
The little girl was lying on the white crane, her hands tightly wrapped around the white crane's neck. Her little face was pale with fright as she opened her mouth and screamed. Behind the white crane was a huge snow eagle.
The snow eagle was extremely large. When it spread its wings, it was three to four meters long. At this moment, it was chasing closely behind the white crane. Its eyes were dark red and the feathers on its body were extremely messy. There were pieces missing and there were even injuries on its body.
Good fellow!
This was a blood-eyed bald eagle!
Furthermore, it was an extremely ferocious Blood-eyed Bald Eagle. This type of ferocious bird was extremely fast and shockingly strong. It was also extremely violent. An adult Blood-eyed Bald Eagle could effortlessly tear apart a Golden Core Adept with its sharp claws.
Ga!
The blood-eyed bald eagle suddenly attacked and its claws tore the white crane into pieces. The little girl fell from the sky. Gu Qingfeng's eyes were sharp and his hands were fast. He flashed over and caught the little girl in his arms.
"Be careful!"
The little girl was frightened. When she saw the blood-eyed bald eagle rushing towards Gu Qingfeng, she could not help but shout.
Ga!
The blood-eyed bald eagle spread its wings and opened its sharp beak. It opened its claws and rushed towards Gu Qingfeng, wanting to tear him apart.
Gu Qingfeng did not even look. With a wave of his hand, a bright light flashed and a crescent moon light flashed. The crescent moon light was like a bolt of lightning that struck the blood-eyed bald eagle's body. With a crack, the blood-eyed bald eagle was sent flying and turned into a pile of pieces.
Landing on the ground, Gu Qingfeng put the little girl down and smiled. "Little girl, are you alright?"
Perhaps it was because she had suffered a great shock, but the little girl's pretty face was deathly pale. Her eyes stared at Gu Qingfeng as she stared at the debris on the ground. She blinked and then looked at Gu Qingfeng. Her originally panicked expression became one of terror. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Gu Qingfeng caught the unconscious little girl and was speechless. However, at this moment, a shout sounded from the sky.
"Stop!"
There was a swoosh.
A swift and fierce sword radiance attacked.
When Gu Qingfeng turned around, he waved his hand and dissipated the sword beam. He focused his gaze and saw two people flying towards him in the void.
It was a man and a woman.
The woman was dressed in white and looked like she was in the clouds. She gave off a very ethereal feeling.
The man next to her looked to be in his twenties. He held a long sword in his hand and had a fierce expression on his cold face. When he saw Gu Qingfeng block his attack, he was first shocked and then furious.
"You're courting death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the light around him flashed wildly and he suddenly swung his sword again.
