"Oh? That's indeed worth looking forward to. "Lin Xuan nodded.
But in the next moment, Zhao Tiehu's face suddenly turned serious as he transmitted his voice, "Brother Lin, the Ice Demon Clan is friendly to the Human Clan and may not harm us, but we need to be wary of the Ji Family.
After all, the Ji Family has been dealing with the Ice Demons for tens of thousands of years. If the Ji Family uses the Ice Demon Clan to harm us, we will be in a very passive position in the Ice Demon Clan's territory. "
Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Your concerns are reasonable, but I wonder what Brother Zhao has in mind?"
Zhao Tiehu said, "There is only one way to deal with it, and that is to form an alliance and advance and retreat together.
Of course, with just the two of us, even if we form an alliance, we can't fight against the Ji Family, so we need to form an alliance with more people. "
Lin Xuan's eyes flickered, but he did not comment on Zhao Tiehu's words.
In fact, in his opinion, forming an alliance was meaningless. It was really boring to waste time on feigning civility with people who did not understand each other and lacked trust.
Moreover, with his current strength, there were not many people who could catch his eye.
Zhao Tiehu seemed to see Lin Xuan's hesitation and said meaningfully, "Brother Lin, I know your strength is unfathomable and you don't need to form an alliance to protect yourself, but if you want the Human Emperor's Sword Seal, you need to make friends with more people of the Human Clan."
"Oh? What do you mean? "Lin Xuan asked.
Zhao Tiehu smiled and said enigmatically, "Brother Lin, think about it. Will the guardian of the Human Emperor's Secret Realm choose a maverick who is incompatible with the Human Clan's Martial Arts World to wield the Human Emperor's Sword?
To put it bluntly, Brother Lin, in the eyes of many people in the Martial Arts World, you have become a demon who brings chaos to the world. If you continue to choose to oppose the Martial Arts World, I'm afraid your path will become narrower and narrower. How can you wield the Human Emperor's Sword and become the master of the Human Clan? "
Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth gradually curled into a playful smile.
He had to admit that Zhao Tiehu's words made sense.
Over the years, he had become stronger and stronger, and his luck had become more and more prosperous. However, his influence in the martial arts world was not strong.
In fact, the majority of the powers viewed him as a tiger or a wolf. They viewed him as an enemy or a potential enemy.
But unfortunately, his Karmic Luck was too great, so he didn't have to take the trouble to make too many allies. Merely relying on himself and the Divine Lotus Dao was sufficient for him to gain a foothold in the world.
However, in order to become the ruler of the human race, deterrence alone was not enough. Something else was needed, something that could be recognized by the world.
Over the years, he had done some things, such as fighting against the Dragons clan and the Spotted Tribe in the Northern Wilderness, which had made him famous.
But for his peers in the martial arts world, he was still a wolf worthy of vigilance.
Of course, Zhao Tiehu's words were not out of the goodness of his heart. It was probably more for his own benefit.
Lin Xuan also wanted to see what Zhao Tiehu was up to.
"Alright, Brother Zhao, you've convinced me. Regarding the alliance, I agree. As for the specifics, we'll discuss separately, "Lin Xuan said with an indifferent smile.
"Hahahaha! Good! Brother Lin, you're indeed a smart person. You got it so quickly. "Zhao Tiehu laughed.
At that moment, Lin Xuan suddenly felt two cold gazes from behind him. They contained a hint of murderous intent.
Lin Xuan turned around abruptly, his eagle-like eyes looking at the source of the gaze.
The owner of the gaze was one of Zhao Tiehu's subordinates. He looked younger, handsome, tall, and had an extraordinary temperament. His eyes were deep and sharp.
The moment Lin Xuan looked at him, he hurriedly looked away, as if he didn't want to attract Lin Xuan's attention.
Unfortunately, Lin Xuan had already noticed him.
"Brother Zhao, who is that man? Does he have a grudge against me? "Lin Xuan asked with a playful smile.
"Hmm?"
Zhao Tiehu looked back at that person and gave a strange smile, "Brother Lin, you must have misunderstood. Not only does this person have no grudge against you, he even received a great favor from you.
Oh, right, his name is Luo Zifeng. You must know his wife, Shen Yuxian. He also has a brother-in-law called Shen Jianchuan. "
"Luo Zifeng?"
Lin Xuan's eyes flickered. He instantly recalled what had happened. Soon after, he sneered.
It was reasonable to say that he had saved Shen Yuxian and Shen Jianchuan, so Luo Zifeng was indeed indebted to him.
However, Luo Zifeng seemed to like to repay kindness with enmity. He actually created an alliance to avenge the Daqian dynasty to disgust him.
Of course, he also understood that this was probably Zhao Tiehu's scheme.
But no matter what, Luo Zifeng, this kind of person who repaid kindness with enmity, deserved to die.
However, this guy was able to escape from the Scorpio's assassination, so he should have some ability. Lin Xuan secretly noted Luo Zifeng's name in his heart.
While the two were talking, they gradually came to the center of the Dark Ice Valley, where a snow-white ice river was in sight.
This ice river was the exposed part of the underground river, and was also the headquarters of the Ice Demon Clan.
Above the ice river, there was a tall space portal. More than a dozen armored Ice Demons stood on both sides, welcoming the humans.
Lin Xuan, Zhao Tiehu and the others first left their names on the Ice Demon Clan's register, and then were led into the space portal by an Ice Demon soldier.
Following a slight dizziness, the scene before him suddenly opened up. Lin Xuan discovered that he had actually arrived in a world of ice crystals.
Inside the secret realm of the Ice Demon Clan, there were palaces and buildings made of ice crystals everywhere. They were translucent and beautiful. Even the tiniest bit of light could create a bright world under the reflection of the ice crystals.
However, the temperature here was a little low. It was estimated that warriors with cultivation below the Divine Astral Realm would be frozen into ice in a short time.
Zhao Tiehu looked at the surrounding environment and praised sincerely, "The Ice Demon Clan is worthy of being one of the oldest Demon Clans. Its level of civilization is not inferior to that of the Human Clan. These buildings are exquisite. I'm afraid that even the best craftsmen of the Human Clan would find it difficult to achieve such a level."
"Thank you for your praise. Our Ice Demon Clan is a race that pursues perfection. We are not comparable to those uncivilized Demon Clans who only know how to plunder.
These peripheral buildings are actually made by ordinary craftsmen. Some of the more beautiful buildings can only be found in the Empress' palace. "
The Ice Demon soldier who led the way explained.
There was an unconcealable pride on its face, and the way it looked at Zhao Tiehu became more friendly.
Lin Xuan smiled and shook his head. Zhao Tiehu was really everywhere. Lin Xuan wondered if he was tired of living.
"Eh? Lin Xuan! "
Suddenly, an unfriendly voice came from not far away.
Lin Xuan looked up and couldn't help but feel a little happy. Although he knew that he would meet many acquaintances here, he didn't expect to meet another one so soon.
It was a beautiful woman with a cold and threatening temperament. Her aura was as cold as a mountain.
Mu Qingning!
Mu Qingning seemed to have been strolling around. She was accompanied by a handsome male Ice Demon.
"Miss Mu, long time no see. How have you been?" Lin Xuan smiled faintly with his hands behind his back.
Mu Qingning's face darkened and she said sarcastically, "Lin Xuan, stop pretending. What do you mean long time no see? Didn't we just meet in the Devil Realm's Devil Emperor City? It's only been less than a month. Have you forgotten so quickly? "
"Oh? Did I? Why don't I remember? "
Lin Xuan pretended to be stunned and said with a smile.
Mu Qingning said coldly, "Hmph, you don't dare to admit what you did. You only know how to do some shady things. I really don't know what Qing Xue sees in you!"
"Haha, you have to ask her." Lin Xuan laughed.
"Eh! Shen Yukun? Why are you with Lin Xuan? "
At this time, Mu Qingning suddenly found Shen Yukun behind the crowd and couldn't help but be surprised.
Shen Yukun smiled bitterly and said, "Qingning, I am now under Lin Xuan's command and work for him."
"What? How did you … "
Mu Qingning's face was full of disbelief. She seemed to be very surprised.
She and Shen Yukun had known each other since they were young. Among the outstanding talents of the younger generation in the capital, Shen Yukun had always been ranked first, while she was ranked second.
Therefore, she had always regarded Shen Yukun as her greatest rival. However, all these years, no matter how hard she worked, she could never surpass Shen Yukun. The two of them had sparred many times in private, and Shen Yukun was always slightly better.
Perhaps it was because she had paid too much attention to Shen Yukun, but she didn't know when, but Shen Yukun's shadow had appeared in her heart.
She was very clear about Shen Yukun's character. He desired to reach the peak of martial arts and look down on the common people. He was definitely not someone who was willing to be under others.
But now, Shen Yukun had a master, and it was Lin Xuan, that bastard!
Lin Xuan must have used despicable means to force Shen Yukun to submit. It must be so!
For a moment, Mu Qingning only felt shocked and angry. She suddenly turned to look at Lin Xuan, and the murderous intent in her beautiful eyes gradually condensed!
"Lin Xuan! You despicable person. If I don't chop off your dog head, I, Mu Qingning, am not human! Die — "
Boom!
Mu Qingning shouted coldly and suddenly launched an attack. A pair of slender jade-like hands pushed fiercely at Lin Xuan, and a vast amount of ice energy was released, causing the already cold environment to become even colder.
Ice Phoenix Sky Attack!
Screech —
With a sharp and ear-piercing cry of a fierce bird, an Ice Phoenix Battle Soul condensed. It spread its wings for dozens of miles and emitted a bone-chilling cold air. It fiercely slammed into Lin Xuan, freezing and cracking the void. Its power was vast and mighty, and it was unstoppable.
Lin Xuan's expression didn't change, but a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Once, as the Saintess of the Keelung Sect, Mu Qingning was a big shot that Lin Xuan had to look up to. He even regarded her as an unrivaled and powerful existence.
But that was in the past. He didn't know when it started, but Mu Qingning was no longer in his eyes.
Mu Qingning cultivated from the mid-level of the God Astral Realm to the mid-level of the Heavenly Transformation Realm in just over ten years. She was indeed a peerless genius.
However, compared to Lin Xuan, she was still too slow. Lin Xuan had already left her far behind.
If this girl wasn't Mu Qingxue's sister, Lin Xuan was confident that he had a hundred ways to get rid of this trouble at any time.
But now, there was no need for him to do it himself.
"Qingning, stop!"
Just as Mu Qingning attacked, Shen Yukun immediately rushed forward like a gust of wind, blocking in front of Lin Xuan. He formed a seal with both hands and pushed it forward.
