The slovenly old man's group was scared out of their wits. It was impossible for them to escape from the bottom of the icy pool like when they were above it. Without the guidance of the ice talisman, just the blazing lightning energy and icy cold aura here was sufficient to kill them countless times.
"Where did the jade talisman in your hands come from?" The Ice Raccoon Demon Shadow looked down from above.
"Senior Lin, this junior and the leopard demon obtained it after killing a Snow Mane Beautiful Horse. At that time, the Snow Mane Beautiful Horse was heavily injured, so the two of us took advantage of it. "The sloppy old man did not dare to hide anything.
"Give this jade talisman to me, and I will spare your lives!" The Ice Raccoon Demon Shadow said.
"This, senior, the reason why we can survive under this ice pool until now is all thanks to the help of this jade talisman. If we don't have this treasure, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long and will all die here. Senior, you, you see … "The horned leopard demon naturally did not want to offend the Ice Raccoon Demon Shadow, but offending the Ice Raccoon Demon Shadow meant death. If they lost the protection of the jade talisman, they would also die. Neither side would have a good ending, so it was really difficult to choose.
"Since that's the case, there's no use in keeping you bunch of trash." The Ice Raccoon Demon Shadow sneered, and the demon shadow became bigger and bigger. In the blink of an eye, it covered the group of cultivators. As the demon shadow shrouded them, the pressure it gave them became greater and greater. Rustle! Rustle! Rustle!
Under this ice pool, even with the jade talisman in hand, it was difficult to increase one's speed.
"It's just a shadow, and it's not the real body. Under this ice pool, if senior wants to force us to death, we can only fight with all our might." The jade talisman was the only way to save their lives. How could they give it up so easily? The sloppy old man gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
"You want to fight with your lives? You're just a group of ants." The Ice Raccoon Demon Shadow snorted disdainfully, and the huge demon shadow clawed down. Suddenly, the surrounding vitality seemed to be about to be destroyed by this claw. The sloppy old man, the horned leopard demon, and the others all felt a fatal aura crazily rushing over.
All the cultivators' expressions changed. Under this ice pool, the Ice Raccoon Demon Shadow was actually more powerful than above. Due to the limited space to move, the Ice Raccoon Demon Shadow's simple attack enveloped all the cultivators present. None of them escaped the net.
The sloppy old man, who was stronger than the rest, could almost smell the aura of death as Yao Ying attacked. It was unavoidable.
The cultivators present were forced into a desperate situation and could only fight with all their might. However, before the Ice Raccoon Demon Shadow's attack could land, it froze in the air, unable to land for a long time.
The green-robed woman and the other cultivators were all puzzled. They did not understand what was going on.
"S-Senior, why are you here?" The Ice Raccoon Shadow's paw froze. It didn't know whether to put it down or retract it.
When the green-dressed woman heard the Ice Raccoon Demon Shadow's words, she was immediately stunned. She didn't know what was going on in front of her. The cultivation level of this Ice Fox Demon Shadow was already terrifying enough. There was an insurmountable gap between the Unity Stage and the Divine Illusionary Stage. Not to mention that there were a few Semi-God Realm juniors among them.
This Old Demon Ice Leopard was already an existence that they could only look up to. However, according to Old Demon Ice Raccoon, there seemed to be a Mahayana cultivator that was only rumored to be a demigod. How was that possible?
An unsightly expression appeared on the Ice Raccoon Shadow's face. Over the past thousands of years, he had never been more frightened than he was today. In the past, even if he encountered late-Body Integration Stage demons, he still had a chance of escaping. However, in the face of this old monster, the Ice Raccoon Shadow couldn't even muster up the thought of running away.
A Mahayana-realm old monster was not staying in the Crimson Moon Desert or some blessed land to cultivate. Instead, he was mingling with a group of ants. Wasn't this just looking for trouble and not doing his job properly? The Ice Raccoon Shadow grumbled in his heart.
"I should be the one asking you that." The scholar that the severed arm had manifested suddenly said, "You just said that you were going to look for the Heavenly Boundary Stone, and now you've found a clue. You're quite fast."
The green-robed woman and the others were all shocked to hear this. They had never dared to think that a Mahayana cultivator would be hiding among them. During this period of time, they hadn't been very respectful toward the severed arm.
"S-Senior?" The sloppy old man and the horned leopard demon's faces were twisted together. Just now, the two of them had been trying to collect spirit crystals from this Mahayana cultivator.
"This has nothing to do with you, so stand aside." The severed arm had nothing to do aside from cultivating among low-grade cultivators, and he had only wanted to try his luck. At the same time, he was also taking this opportunity to experience his past travels.
However, seeing as he had already discovered traces of the Heavenly Boundary Stone, there was naturally no need for him to do this.
"Yes, yes, Senior!" The sloppy old man and the others hurriedly retreated to the side, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
"I'm also quite wary of this glacial pond, so I wouldn't set foot in it for no good reason. After receiving your instructions, I immediately set out to investigate this place, and I didn't think that you would've also detected this anomaly, Senior. I wasn't trying to hide this from you, "the Ice Raccoon Shadow hurriedly explained.
The scholar that the severed arm had manifested flicked a finger, and a wisp of fiery light instantly burned a fist-sized chunk off the Ice Raccoon Shadow's body. The Ice Raccoon Shadow howled incessantly in anguish and begged for mercy.
"Think carefully before you speak. There's a limit to my patience," the severed arm chuckled coldly. If he didn't teach the Ice Raccoon Shadow a lesson, he would think that he was an easy target.
"Yes, yes. When I parted ways with Senior, Junior already had a certain guess about the Heavenly Boundary Stone and specially came to verify it. However, Junior's mind was clouded by benefits. Thus, Junior developed a certain degree of selfishness towards the Heavenly Boundary Stone and wanted to silence these low-level outsiders."
The Ice Raccoon Shadow's body shuddered incessantly. There was nothing more terrifying than admitting to deceiving a Mahayana cultivator. Even though he had made preparations in advance and his true body wasn't present, the Ice Raccoon Shadow was still no match for a Mahayana cultivator.
"It was exactly because of my selfishness that I wanted to monopolize some of the secrets of the Heavenly Boundary Stone, but who would've thought that I would be restricted by an inexplicable force..."
The Ice Raccoon Shadow's demonic body abruptly faded as it spoke. Immediately thereafter, it disappeared into the glacial pond as a faint projection.
"You're overestimating yourself!" The severed arm harrumphed coldly before releasing a wisp of Profound Faceless Flames toward the northwestern direction.
A string of anguished cries rang out as the wisp of smoke was incinerated. The wisp of smoke dissipated into a dozen or so wisps, and one or two of them managed to escape into the distance.
"That's a rather peculiar method." The scholar that the severed arm had manifested wasn't enraged in the slightest.
Just as the scholar was about to depart, the horned leopard demon suddenly called out, "Se, Senior!"
"What is it?" the severed arm asked.
"When I joined forces with the sloppy old man to kill the Snow Haired Horse, I heard it mention something about a realm spirit. I didn't pay it much heed at the time, so I ended its life in order to avoid any complications. The fact that this Ice Raccoon Shadow dared to disobey you might have something to do with the realm spirit," the horned leopard demon speculated.
