It was at this moment that a figure flew over from the periphery of the ice field.
"Elder Xuan, Elder Ming, the formation outside has been activated. Someone might be coming over. What should we do?" The person who came was wearing the robes of the Mysterious Underworld Sect. He was at the early stage of the Unification Stage and was an elder of the sect.
"Someone actually came here!" Elder Xuan frowned slightly.
Although there were many powerful spiritual beasts in the Misty Forest, they wouldn't come near the ice field. Now that the formation had been activated, there was a high chance that it was done by someone.
"Since they can come here, their cultivation shouldn't be low. There's a high chance that they're at the Unification Stage. I'm afraid they're from those sects!" Elder Ming said softly, "Hmph, they really won't change even in death. They're vainly trying to obstruct our Profound Underworld Sect from unifying the Northern Profound Continent. When the time comes and we obtain the item beneath the ice plains, the first thing we'll do is to exterminate their sects!"
"Go, find a few elders to check the situation. If it's really someone, kill them immediately. Don't let the news leak and attract other trouble!" Elder Xuan said after pondering for a moment.
"Yes!"
That person replied respectfully and turned to leave. He found three elders at the Unification Stage and charged into the forest together.
On the other side, Southern Dipper looked at Meng Jingxian helplessly.
"Your plan is really …"
"What's wrong? Isn't this waiting for an exhausted enemy? What a good plan! "Big Dipper chuckled.
With their strength, the Mysterious Underworld Sect's formation wouldn't be a threat to them. They wouldn't accidentally activate the formation either. Meng Jingxian had done this on purpose.
It wasn't easy for them to find the person who set up the formation. However, if they activated the formation, it would be much easier for those people to find them.
"Alright, get ready. Those people should be here soon. Let's see if we should make a move. If we do, we can't let them escape!" Southern Dipper said.
"Don't worry, as long as they're not at the Great Vehicle Stage, we'll be fine! Moreover, I've read the information before. There are only two Great Vehicle Stage cultivators in the Northern Xuan Continent. They're from the Mysterious Underworld Sect. They're called the Mysterious Underworld Elders. I don't think they're that powerful. Moreover, this is such a remote place. They won't appear! "Big Dipper said.
The Southern Dipper rolled his eyes and said, "Haha, you jinx. Now that you mention it, I really feel that we might encounter the Xuan Ming Elders here!"
As soon as he said that, their faces froze at the same time.
The Big Dipper's figure flickered slightly and disappeared into the woods. The light around the Southern Dipper began to distort and soon disappeared as well.
"This is where the array formation was triggered, right? It doesn't seem to have left any traces behind. Who do you want us to kill?"
There were a total of four Body Integration cultivators from the Xuan Ming Sect. However, their cultivation levels weren't high. One of them was at the Mid Body Integration Stage while the rest were at the Early Body Integration Stage. Of course, this was already very powerful in the Northern Xuan Continent because other than the Xuan Ming Elders from their sect, there weren't any Great Ascension Stage cultivators in the entire continent.
"Strange, there are no traces at all. Could it be that there is something wrong with the formation?"
The few of them checked the array formation and found nothing out of the ordinary. They also didn't see any signs of people approaching. Each and every one of them revealed a puzzled expression.
The four of them expanded their search area, but they still didn't find any valuable clues.
"Maybe there is something wrong with the formation. Since there is nothing out of the ordinary, let's go back. We still need more people in the Ice Field!" The leader said.
"Well, after all, the Ice Field is more important. Things have reached the most critical moment. We can't let anything go wrong!"
"I just don't know what's under the Ice Field. Even the laws have been distorted. Otherwise, we can just use the space ability to travel to the bottom of the Ice Field. Why would we spend so much effort to break through the Ice Field?"
"Maybe it's because of the treasure under the Ice Field. In fact, that thing should be very powerful. It can even distort the laws!"
…
The four of them chatted as they walked into the depths of the Ice Field.
At the same time, the Big Dipper and the Southern Dipper were communicating with each other through the Akatsuki Ring.
"Four Body Integration Stage cultivators. Do you want to kill them?"
"The robes they are wearing seem to be from the Xuan Ming Sect. If we really kill them, the Xuan Ming Elders will really come. I even suspect that your Crow's Beak has already taken effect. The Xuan Ming Elders may be in the depths of the forest now!"
"Why do you care so much? Let's just kill them. At worst, we can just inform Hayashikawa to come over!"
"If Hayashikawa knows that you have caused trouble and asked him to clean up your mess, you will not be able to avoid a beating!"
"So much nonsense. Do you want to kill them or not?" the Big Dipper asked impatiently.
"Kill them!"
"Leave the one at the middle stage of the Body Integration Stage. Kill the remaining three. Since they dared to come and kill us, they should be prepared to be killed!" the Southern Dipper added.
"Do it!"
As soon as his voice trailed off, a black streak of light flashed through the air, slicing directly through the throat of one of the cultivators. Black veined patterns began to spread along his neck, and his eyes widened in horror, but he was unable to utter a single sound. He looked around in horror, only to discover that the same situation was playing out around him. In the blink of an eye, all three of them had been struck, and the only remaining mid-Body Integration Stage elder was enshrouded in white light before completely losing all signs of life.
The figures of the Southern Dipper and the Big Dipper reappeared in the forest. The three elders of the Xuan Ming Sect had already died.
As for the remaining elder, his entire body had been penetrated by the Southern Dipper's light attribute. He was no longer a threat.
"Tell me, what is the Xuan Ming Sect doing here?" the Southern Dipper asked with a smile as he looked at the cultivator in front of him.
"You … Who are you … How dare you …"
His cultivation had been sealed. Light lingered around him, blocking all his escape routes.
However, what he found unbelievable was that he did not see the young man make a move. By the time he realized that something was wrong, he had completely lost the ability to resist. He could not even send a message back. When did the Northern Xuan Continent have such a terrifying person? Why did he never know?
"Answer the question properly. Don't ask nonsense!" Meng Jingxian's ghostly hand drew an arc and pressed against the throat of the Body Integration Stage cultivator.
"We … We are looking for a treasure under the ice lake at the core of the Misty Forest …"
Knowing that he could not resist, the Body Integration Stage cultivator could only use another method. If he could lure these two people to the ice lake, he might be saved. Even if that was not the case, the Xuanming Elders could avenge them.
"Treasure? What treasure? "the Big Dipper asked.
"The ancestral teachings of our Xuan Ming Sect say that if we can obtain that treasure, our Xuan Ming Sect can unify the entire Northern Xuan Continent!"
"There is such a thing?" The Big Dipper frowned, "Why do I feel like they are talking about the Immortal Artifact of the Northern Xuan Continent? But isn't the Immortal Artifact of the Northern Xuan Continent, the Profound Yellow Sword, in your hands? Apart from the Profound Yellow Sword, what other powerful things does the Northern Xuan Continent have? "
"I'm not sure. I've already returned the Profound Yellow Sword to the Blue Dragon. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any powerful treasures left in the Northern Xuan Continent. Moreover, the Divine Beast of the Northern Xuan Continent is also in the Blue Dragon's possession!" the Southern Dipper said doubtfully.
At this moment, the middle-stage Body Integration Stage elder of the Xuan Ming Sect listened to the conversation between the two with a face full of horror and confusion!
