This was a world of ice and snow. Cold snow swirled down from high up in the vast sky. It was like a dancer dancing in the wind in the void. Its movements were light and agile.
When the large snowflakes flew together, they danced along with the biting cold wind, forming a beautiful scroll in the void. The wonderful combination between the wind and the snow made this world look quite artistic.
Thick snow covered the land. No one knew what was hidden under this snow. They only felt that at a glance, this world was a vast expanse of whiteness. It was like a piece of white paper that was not tainted by a speck of dust. It was also as elegant and pure as the snow lotus on the Heavenly Mountain.
It was likely that no one would be willing to disturb such a beautiful place. This place was like an uninhabited fairyland. Perhaps, it was the only pure land in this continent. At least in this place, one would not see blood everywhere, nor would one see killing intent. The smoke would be blown away by the cold wind, and anger would be extinguished by the flying snow.
However …
Even though it was an extremely pure and cold land, a couple of human figures were shockingly standing on it at this moment. Beside the human figures was an enormous being. Its body was covered by a layer of materialized energy cuticle.
This group of people was surprisingly Xiao Yan's group. Standing in the empty space in front of them was Leng Bing Shuang. She was the one who had brought the four people in front of her and the Narwhal Snake out of the remains.
"Junior Xiao Yan thanks elder for lending a hand to rescue me!"
Xiao Yan looked carefully at the peerless lady in front of him. He finally cupped his hands together and bowed respectfully to the latter. At the same time, his tone did not dare to be negligent as he said.
This time, regardless of whether it was emotional or reasonable, Leng Bingshuang had saved him. Xiao Yan naturally felt grateful to the latter. What he did at this moment was only reasonable.
Seeing Xiao Yan act in this manner, the three Tian Ying brothers did not dare to show even the slightest carelessness on their faces. Even Xiao Yan acted in this manner. How would they dare to continue standing here in this manner?
The status of the Magical Beast world was clearly defined. Compared to humans, the strictness of the status between Magical Beasts was even more well-known. When a weak person faced a strong person, they must completely submit. This was the case for the Sky Eagle trio.
After glancing at Xiao Yan, the three of them looked at each other and knelt down on the snowy ground without hesitation.
"Hmph, get up."
Leng Bing Shuang faintly said when she saw the three people prostrating on the ground. Immediately, she turned her gaze towards Xiao Yan.
When the three of them heard this, they stood up from the snow. At this moment, Xiao Yan also lifted his gaze and met Leng Bing Shuang's gaze.
"Hmph, we meet again."
Leng Bing Shuang's long and narrow eyes stared at Xiao Yan. Her pursed red lips lifted slightly as she spoke in a cold and indifferent tone.
"That's right, elder. We meet again. However, this time around, this junior really needs to thank elder for saving my life. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I would already be a corpse now!"
When he saw the smile that was lifted from the corner of Leng Bing Shuang's mouth, Xiao Yan felt a chill in his heart. He smiled awkwardly as he spoke. At the same time, he hurriedly cupped his hands together respectfully towards Leng Bing Shuang.
When they heard the conversation between the two of them, the expressions of the Sky Eagle trio beside Xiao Yan immediately changed. Many pairs of eyes looked towards Xiao Yan. Only then did they understand that the reason why Leng Bing Shuang had brought them out of the remains was because of Xiao Yan.
When they thought of this, a surprised expression immediately appeared on the faces of the three of them. They did not expect that with Leng Bing Shuang's status, she would actually personally intervene for Xiao Yan.
However, when the three of them thought about it in their hearts, they attributed all of this to Murong Qianqian. It was likely because of the latter's status that Leng Bing Shuang would intervene for Xiao Yan. Otherwise, a mere human, moreover a Half-emperor expert, was no different from grass in Leng Bing Shuang's eyes. If there was no reason, Leng Bing Shuang would definitely not intervene for him.
"Ah, I don't care about your life or death. You should know what I want in your heart. Where's the Bodhisattva Pill?"
When she heard Xiao Yan's words, Leng Bing Shuang smiled coldly. A cold light surged in her pair of bright and beautiful eyes. She slowly raised her slender jade-like fingers. With a thought, ice immediately condensed on her fingertips. The ice-cold air that was emitted from it caused Xiao Yan's heart to tremble slightly despite the distance.
When he heard Leng Bing Shuang's words, the expression on Xiao Yan's face immediately became somewhat awkward. He did not expect that the woman in front of him would actually ask about the Bodhisattva Pill. This was really troublesome.
After nearly half a year, he had finally found the Soul Condensation Fruit with great difficulty. He had not even swallowed it yet. His Soul Strength had yet to break through to Rank 3. How was he going to refine the Bodhisattva Pill?
When he thought of this, Xiao Yan could not help but carefully glance at the cold light condensed on Leng Bing Shuang's fingertips. His heart immediately turned cold. His emotions, which had just calmed down, immediately became nervous again.
At this moment, he was not in his best condition. The violent energy in his body would be dealt with. If he was casually hit by Leng Bing Shuang, he would most likely not be able to keep his life!
"Sigh …"
He helplessly laughed bitterly in his heart. He had really just left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth!
If this woman in front of him really wanted to kill him, even if the current Xiao Yan could immediately return to his peak, it was absolutely impossible for him to be the latter's opponent.
Seeing Xiao Yan's difficult expression, Leng Bing Shuang could not help but gently knit her brows. Her pair of beautiful eyes stared intently at Xiao Yan. Her tone deepened as she said:
"Why, it seems that you did not bring the Bodhisattva Pill to me."
As Leng Bing Shuang's words fell, the originally cold temperature between the heaven and earth instantly plummeted. The bone-chilling cold caused all the muscles on Xiao Yan's body to involuntarily stiffen. Even the expression on his face quickly became grim.
A thought passed through Xiao Yan's mind. He forcefully controlled the energy within his body that had already gone berserk. Although his strength was no match for the latter, if this Leng Bing Shuang wanted to kill Xiao Yan here and now, Xiao Yan would definitely tell her that he was definitely not someone to be trifled with!
"Ke ke, you still want to use your Dou Qi in front of this Queen. Why, you want to fight to the death? Do you think that you have that possibility? "
At this moment, the corner of Leng Bing Shuang's mouth revealed a disdainful cold smile. Soon after, she pointed her finger directly at Xiao Yan. Immediately, an invisible force shot out. Before Xiao Yan could recover, it had already heavily struck his chest.
"Bang!"
Soon after, a muffled bang sounded. Xiao Yan, who was standing in the snow, immediately flew back uncontrollably. Finally, he violently smashed into the snow.
The snow collapsed and buried Xiao Yan's entire body. After which, there was no longer any movement.
The sudden appearance of this scene caused the expressions of the Sky Eagle trio to change drastically. No matter how they thought about it, they did not expect that Leng Bing Shuang would actually suddenly attack Xiao Yan.
Given Leng Bing Shuang's strength, even if Xiao Yan did not die from that attack, it was likely that he would be seriously injured!
The Sky Eagle trio looked at each other and raised their heads when they thought of this. The three pairs of eyes looked towards Leng Bing Shuang, who was currently standing in the air. Most of the respect in their eyes had also disappeared at this moment.
After interacting with Xiao Yan a couple of times, the relationship between them could already be called friends. Moreover, Xiao Yan had intervened and saved the lives of the three of them not long ago. Their hearts were filled with gratitude toward Xiao Yan. Now that they saw that Leng Bing Shuang was actually going to attack and kill him, the hearts of the three of them were naturally unwilling.
In the air, the corners of Leng Bing Shuang's mouth slowly lifted into a smile. She withdrew her finger and smilingly looked at the spot where Xiao Yan was buried by the snow.
"Milady!"
However, at this moment, three voices were suddenly transmitted into Leng Bing Shuang's ears. From the sound of it, it seemed that they were complaining about her.
"Oh?"
Leng Bing Shuang knitted her eyebrows and looked towards the direction of the voices. Her eyes were looking at the Sky Eagle trio.
"Is there something the matter?"
Leng Bing's voice was indifferent as she asked.
As the ruler of the Xilin Mountain Range, she had the qualifications to look down from above and face any Magical Beast in this mountain range. A mere three nine star Half Emperors were nothing in her eyes.
When the three of them heard Leng Bing Shuang's words, the invisible aura from her caused their hearts to suddenly sink. As the ruler of this mountain range, just this aura alone was already not something that they could easily resist, much less her strength.
"Milady, may I know how brother Xiao Yan has offended you? Please let him off on account of Miss Murong!"
In the end, it was still the elder brother of the three. Sky Eagle took a step forward. Even though he was extremely terrified in his heart, he still braced himself and spoke.
Hearing these words, Leng Bing Shuang's eyebrows immediately lifted slightly. However, she quickly understood. Her eyes swept over the three of them one by one. She emitted a soft laugh from her nose and said:
"Who told you that I want to kill him?"
The expressions of the Sky Eagle trio immediately changed after these words were spoken. The three of them looked at each other and involuntarily frowned. After which, they once again looked towards Leng Bing Shuang. A doubtful expression surfaced in their eyes.
Logically speaking, just the aura of Leng Bing Shuang's earlier attack was already sufficient to announce Xiao Yan's death. However, the three of them also believed that as the ruler of the Xilin Mountain Range, the proud and arrogant Leng Bing Shuang would definitely not lie.
Since this was the case, it also meant that it was indeed as Leng Bing Shuang had said. Xiao Yan was not dead. Moreover, the aim of her earlier attack was not to kill Xiao Yan.
In the blink of an eye, the Sky Eagle trio suddenly turned around. Their gazes simultaneously looked towards the location where Xiao Yan was located.
At the same time, a muffled sound was suddenly emitted from a certain part of the snowy ground that had clearly caved in. Soon after, snowflakes flew in all directions like meteors that could easily be seen.
The thin snowflakes shot out like darts at this moment. The expressions of the Sky Eagle trio changed once again. Soon after, the three of them clearly saw a black figure suddenly leap out from the snowy ground. The figure shot into the sky. After circling a few times in the air, it landed heavily in front of the Sky Eagle trio. The figure stepped on the air and the snowy ground below suddenly collapsed, forming a huge depression.
The faces of Tian Ying and the other two immediately revealed a joyous expression when they saw that Xiao Yan was fine. Three pairs of eyes carefully sized up Xiao Yan's body. After sensing that the latter was completely fine, the large stone that had been suspended in the hearts of the three of them finally landed heavily.
"Brother Xiao Yan, it's great that you're fine. We were really worried sick earlier!"
The Flame Lion walked forward and gave Xiao Yan a huge bear hug. At the same time, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief in his heart as he laughed heartily.
The moment these words were spoken, Sky Eagle and Xiong Gang by the side also laughed heartily in succession. Although their voices sounded heroic, one could not detect the suppressed worry within them.
Sensing this point, Xiao Yan immediately laughed out loud and agreed. He said, "You are right.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. I have an agreement with this elder. She naturally won't harm me."
At the end of his words, Xiao Yan's gaze turned and looked at Leng Bing Shuang in the air. The corners of his mouth parted into a smile. Soon after, he once again bowed respectfully towards the latter and said,
"Junior Xiao Yan thanks elder for resolving the energy in my body!"
Although the attack just now appeared to be terrifying, after it entered Xiao Yan's body, it swiftly suppressed the wild and violent energy in Xiao Yan's body. In this way, Xiao Yan was able to borrow the strength of the Flame Mantra to swallow and refine all the energy in the shortest time possible.
After refining the energy, the aura in Xiao Yan's body had recovered by more than half. Although it was not at its peak, it was still much better than his previous weak appearance.
"Hmph, alright, there's no need to say or do such useless things. If you really want to thank this king, it's best that you bring the Bodhi Returning Pill to me as soon as possible. Seeing the Bodhi Returning Pill will be the best way to thank this king."
Seeing this scene, Leng Bing Shuang's tone was still unusually indifferent. However, at least at this moment, a rare smile surfaced on the latter's delicate and pretty face. It was like a snow lotus that had just bloomed on an ice mountain and was exceptionally fragrant.
"Haha, this junior promises elder that within two years, I will definitely bring the Bodhi Returning Pill and personally hand it over to elder!"
Xiao Yan once again cupped his hands towards Leng Bing Shuang as he spoke in a firm tone.
Now that he had obtained the Soul Condensation Fruit, Xiao Yan was confident that he would be able to raise his Spiritual Strength to the level of a rank three alchemist within half a year. At that time, he would be able to prepare to refine the Bodhi Returning Pill. As for the other one and a half years, Xiao Yan was merely taking precautions. He did not dare to make any guarantees regarding the matter that Leng Bing had mentioned.
"Oh? Two years huh. Alright, I'll give you this final deadline. Otherwise, don't blame this king for not showing mercy. At that time, even Qianqian will not be able to protect you. "
Leng Bing Shuang's tone was indifferent as she spoke.
Of course, even though she said these words, only she knew the reason behind it.
According to Leng Bing Shuang's expectations, it was likely that Xiao Yan would need at least three more years to reach the level of a rank three alchemist. However, Xiao Yan's words had indeed caused her to be extremely shocked. She had never expected that Xiao Yan would actually be able to say such words that ordinary people would not dare to imagine. Despite this, Leng Bing Shuang was rather happy in her heart. She had been looking forward to the Bodhi Returning Pill for a long time. Since Xiao Yan himself had said it, she naturally had no objections.
