After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 902 The Snow Lion of the Divine Mountain and the Snow-Clad Woman: A Life After Calamity!
A terrifying aura pressed down from afar from the cave.

Almost instinctively, Chen Yang lightly touched the ground with his toes, his body leaping more than ten meters into the air, soaring towards the other side of the abyss.

"Buzz..."

The eight-winged centipede immediately crawled out of the backpack, its dozens of legs grabbing Chen Yang from behind. Just as Chen Yang was about to fall off the ice cliff, it flapped its wings and carried him into the air.

"Roar!"

Almost at the same time, a huge figure ran out of the cave.

A pure white male lion, probably over five meters long, with thick, bushy fur and a mane that crisscrossed like icicles, was biting a piece of the lower half of a carcass, blood gushing out in its mouth.

Judging from the tattered trousers on the mutilated corpse, it was undoubtedly Lu Xiong Ying, the one who had just recklessly run in.

The giant lion had blood-red eyes and a huge tail that curled behind it. Every step it took brought an oppressive force like a mountain.

It tossed the corpse in its mouth aside, let out a deafening roar, and a ball of Yin energy, carrying intense cold, shot straight at Chen Yang in mid-air like a cannonball.

……

"Ding! SS-level Yin Sha [Rinpoche Snow Lion] has been discovered. The encyclopedia entry is now available. Reward: Immortal-grade [Cordyceps Sinensis] *1. The item has been placed in the system space and can be retrieved at any time."

……

Item: Cordyceps sinensis [Immortal Grade]

"Description: Contains immense icy energy, which can be used to temper an immortal body. (Note: Only those with an immaculate body can use it; otherwise, there is a risk of immediate freezing to death.)"

……

"Ding, mission issued."

"Quest: Hunt the SS-rank Yin Sha [Rinpoche Snow Lion], Progress (0/1)"

Reward: 20 Sword Offering Stones

……

"boom!"

The eight-winged centipede hurriedly led Chen Yang to dodge the giant lion's attack.

The yin energy cluster landed on the ice wall of the opposite mountain.

The ice wall looked as if it had been bombarded.

With a loud bang, the ice blocks fell one after another.

Zhou Mingyuan and Huanglong Daoist quickly took cover.

"My grass!"

Feeling that imposing aura, Chen Yang's heart trembled uncontrollably.

Rinpoche, the sacred mountain, and the snow lion?
SS-rank, and a Yin Sha creature at that?

It should be noted that creatures like Yin Sha and Shen Sha are incredibly powerful. They dare to fight against those in the Spirit Realm and those in the Creation Realm, and even those in the Creation Realm dare to fight against those in the Dao True Realm.

This guy actually showed up a Yin Sha at the Dao True Realm. Does he think he can just fight him at the Celestial Realm level?

Although it's a bit of an exaggeration, Chen Yang could tell almost without thinking that this thing in front of him would probably have few rivals in the Dao True Realm.

After all, when they came in, the corpse ape that Chen Yang encountered was only at the late stage of the Creation Realm, and it was already so difficult to deal with. This corpse lion was obviously even more ferocious.

The eight-winged centipede also felt fear, and quickly grabbed Chen Yang and flew to the other side of the abyss, where it met Zhou Mingyuan and the others.

"Roar!"

Across the abyss, about fifty meters away, the giant lion stood on the opposite side, roaring at them with a sound like thunder, startling the three people around them so much that the world spun around them.

"Humph!"

Zhou Mingyuan snorted coldly and immediately took a deep breath.

"Roar!"

Focusing his energy in his dantian and channeling it into his throat, Zhou Mingyuan unleashed a roar at his opponent, though it was unclear what kind of technique he was using.

I go!

Chen Yang rolled his eyes and almost fainted, quickly covering his ears with his hands.

Zhou Mingyuan unleashed his aura like a mountain, without holding back, and surged towards the opposite side like a tidal wave.

"boom!"

The two sound waves collided in the middle, and the explosion generated a strong shock wave that radiated in all directions.

The ice walls on the surrounding cliffs cracked and collapsed, causing the earth to shake violently, as if it were the end of the world.

……

After a while, the roaring stopped.

Chen Yang felt a buzzing in his ears, and his mind was still a little foggy from the shock.

Zhou Mingyuan stood in front, his aura rising to its peak.

"Roar."

The giant lion opposite was clearly not frightened, but it was obviously wary and dared not leap across the abyss rashly.

Unfortunately, the effects of the Giant Strength Pill that Zhou Mingyuan had taken earlier had worn off, and his momentum was much weaker than when he fought the mantis shrimp earlier.

The man and the beast had just been exchanging auras, and it seemed they were evenly matched.

Their combat strength is probably not much different.

Chen Yang's eyes darted around, and he felt that there might be some potential.

After all, there were three of them, along with the little white snake and the eight-winged centipede. If they joined forces, they might have a chance to kill this giant lion.

Although he didn't particularly need the reward of 20 Sword Offering Stones, killing this thing would grant him 100,000 experience points.

"Roar!"

The giant lion bared its teeth and opened its blood-red maw, wary of Zhou Mingyuan's strength, and dared not come closer.

After letting out two threatening roars, the giant lion turned around and walked towards the cave entrance on the cliff.

Chen Yang thought it had chickened out and was going back to the cave, but to his surprise, the giant lion walked directly to the last frozen cave entrance, raised its giant paw, and slammed it against the ice wall at the entrance.

not good.

All three had a bad feeling.

Huanglong had previously consulted divination about this last cave entrance, and it was also considered an unfavorable omen.

In other words, there might be similar dangers inside that cave.

This beast is looking for help.

boom!
The ice wall shattered instantly.

"Roar!"

The giant lion stood at the cave entrance and roared into the empty cave.

"Roar!"

Inside the cave, something seemed to have been awakened, quickly giving the giant lion a rough response.

Sure enough, he was looking for help.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yang and his two companions instinctively wanted to retreat, but their intense curiosity made them stop in their tracks, wanting to see what that thing was.

Soon, a snow-white figure rushed out of the cave.

Its entire body is covered in white fur, without a single other color, and it stands nearly two meters tall, upright, like a human being.

Corpse Ape?

Chen Yang's eyelids twitched. It didn't seem quite right. This thing was smaller and thinner than the corpse ape he had seen before.

But Chen Yang could clearly feel the extreme pressure emanating from this thing.

"Damn, Senior Brother, it's Snow-Clad Girl!"

Huanglong Daoist exclaimed in surprise, as if he had seen a ghost.

Snow-Clad Maiden?
Chen Yang was taken aback. What was that? He'd never heard of it before.

"Roar!"

Just then, the creature arrived at the edge of the cliff and roared in this direction as well.

The sound was deafening, causing a sharp pain in one's internal organs, and forcing Chen Yang to take several steps back.

His face turned bright red, his blood rushed to his head, and he felt a sweet taste in his throat. He almost couldn't hold it in and vomited blood.

Damn, this one looks even more powerful!

……

"Ding! SS-level Yin Fiend [Snow Demon] detected. Encyclopedia unlocked. Reward: Immortal-grade [Cordyceps Sinensis] *1. Item has been placed in system space and can be retrieved at any time!"

……

"Ding, mission issued."

"Quest: Hunt the SS-rank Yin Sha [Snow Demon], Progress (0/1)"

Reward: 30 Sword Offering Stones

……

The system notification appeared quickly.

Snow-Clad Maiden, Snow Demon?

Is it a type of mandrill? It doesn't seem so. If it were a mandrill, it probably wouldn't trigger the encyclopedia reward, right?

It should be some kind of creature similar to a mandrill. Mandrills are considered divine evil spirits, while this thing is considered a yin evil spirit.

Chen Yang knew all too well how ferocious mandrills could be, but this was the first time he'd ever encountered a snow ape.

Moreover, he's a Dao True Realm being.

It's killing me.

"Old Zhou, let's go, don't get entangled with them," Chen Yang called out.

If it were just that Rinpoche snow lion, they could have put up a fight. After all, it was just an animal, and they had a good chance of taking it down if they worked together.

But the moment the snow ape appeared, Chen Yang decisively changed his mind.

Even if Zhou Mingyuan can block one of them, can he and Huang Long block the remaining one?
Too risky.

It's not worth it for 200,000 experience points.

As for the rewards from the Sword Offering Stone, he didn't have much need for them.

During this period, he had used a lot of sacrificial stones to feed the sword heart of the Zhenshan Sword, but the feedback he received was not significant.

The growth of a sword heart is a process of gradual accumulation and eventual breakthrough; it is clearly not something that can be achieved overnight. Therefore, Chen Yang is not in a hurry when it comes to nurturing a sword heart.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingyuan stepped forward and said, "You all step back and go close the outer gate..."

"And you?" Chen Yang's heart pounded.

"I'll be right there."

Zhou Mingyuan stared intently at the person opposite him, his expression extremely solemn.

Because of the existence of this abyss, these two ferocious beasts dared not easily cross the line. Zhou Mingyuan was almost certain that as soon as he turned around, these two beasts would jump over immediately.

That would be a real mess.

If it manages to escape, that would be a disaster! "Let's go!"

Huanglong let out a low growl, and without saying a word, he turned and ran outside.

Chen Yang was also very self-aware; staying behind would only be a hindrance. The eight-winged centipede carried him and flew straight away.

Extremely fast.

Once the two left, Zhou Mingyuan was free to act.

With a flick of his sleeve, a rectangular sword box, half a meter long, appeared in his hand.

The box was opened, revealing more than twenty small swords lying inside.

Each handle is only about half a foot long, some are wide and some are narrow, and they come in various styles.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Seeing him fiddling with the sword box, the two beasts opposite him seemed to lose patience. They each roared, charged a few steps, and leaped into the air.

Finally, unable to contain itself any longer, it leaped over here.

Its terrifying presence was enough to chill anyone to the bone.

Zhou Mingyuan reached into the sword case and stroked it.

Primordial Spirit Controlling the Sword!

shhhhhh...

Immediately, several small swords flew up, colorful and gleaming brightly.

"Cold Dew!"

"Shh!"

With a flick of his wrist, Zhou Mingyuan unleashed a small sword, trailing a terrifying sword light, which streaked across the sky like a meteor and instantly hurtled towards the snow demon in mid-air.

"Frost Descent!"

"Shh!"

Another sword strike, aimed straight at the snow lion.

"Little Snow!"

"Heavy snow!"

……

"Xiaohan!"

"Big Cold!"

……

shhhhhh...

Several sword lights flew out, and the surrounding environment was enveloped by the powerful sword intent. The cold air gathered rapidly, and snowflakes swirled above the abyss, as if a sudden ice and snow storm had formed.

"Roar!"

Sensing danger, the two beasts immediately used their Yin energy to defend themselves.

Several flying swords circled around the two beasts, constantly swirling and slashing, the sword light instantly engulfing the two beasts.

This was the opportunity Zhou Mingyuan had been waiting for.

The two beasts, suspended in mid-air with nowhere to gain leverage, were forced to their limit by the sword energy and then plummeted into the dark abyss.

shhhhhh...

The flying sword quickly flew back.

Zhou Mingyuan didn't even glance at the abyss before turning and running away.

He didn't know how deep the abyss was, and those two beasts might catch up again soon.

If you don’t run now, wait until later.

If the effects of the Giant Strength Pill were still present, he would definitely fight those two beasts without hesitation, but for now, it's best not to court death and invite trouble.

……

"Roar……"

Sure enough, Zhou Mingyuan hadn't run far when he heard the roars of the two beasts behind him again.

You climbed back up so quickly?
At this point, he dared not look back and just kept running towards the exit.

At the exit, in front of the pool where mantis shrimp were previously killed.

Chen Yang and Huang Long stood on either side of the bronze gate and slowly closed the heavy, open door, leaving a gap just wide enough for one person to pass through.

"Prepare to close!"

Zhou Mingyuan's shout came from the passage, and then Chen Yang saw Zhou Mingyuan appear at the end of the passage, rushing towards the bronze gate at great speed.

Several flying swords chased after him.

"Roar!"

A terrifying roar came from the shadows behind the flying sword.

In just a few breaths, two white figures appeared, namely the Rinpoche Snow Lion and the Snow Demon.

The two were only fifty or sixty meters away from Zhou Mingyuan, and their speed was so fast that they almost left afterimages, and they were much faster than Zhou Mingyuan.

Chen Yang and Huang Long were both on tenterhooks.

If they get caught, they'll be in deep trouble.

The distance between the two beasts and Zhou Mingyuan was rapidly closing, and Zhou Mingyuan was also getting closer and closer to the bronze gate. Soon he arrived at the gate, touched the ground with his toes, and suddenly leaned out and leaped out through the gap in the middle of the bronze gate.

Chen Yang and Huanglong Daoist were already on high alert. Seeing that Zhou Mingyuan had come out, they immediately closed the bronze gate.

The moment the gate closed, through the crack, the two corpse beasts were already within arm's reach, their terrifying aura overwhelming them. Even with their strong wills, E and Chen Yang could barely stand.

"boom!"

The heavy bronze gate finally closed.

At the same time, the two beasts also crashed into the door, causing the door to shake slightly.

The large semi-circular lock on the door automatically closed, and after a series of mechanical clicks, it was perfectly sealed again.

"boom……"

The gate was shaking slightly from time to time, clearly indicating that the two beasts were colliding inside.

However, the bronze gate is very sturdy, and there is still a sealing force on it, so it should not be difficult for it to withstand the attacks of the two beasts.

Chen Yang watched the door warily, slowly taking several steps back. The excessive force and tension made his thighs feel weak. If there hadn't been someone nearby, he would have really wanted to sit down on the ground.

Huanglong Daoist was also panting heavily, his heart pounding, and his old bones almost felt like they were going to fall apart.

"Kakaka..."

The cold air gathered, and frost quickly covered the bronze gate, freezing it solid.

The sounds of banging inside the door gradually diminished until they disappeared.

"call!"

Chen Yang breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling as if he had survived a disaster. He touched his forehead, which was covered with beads of sweat that had frozen into ice.

The icy door absorbed a lot of cold air while releasing heat, significantly raising the surrounding temperature.

None of the three spoke; they were clearly still not calm.

Zhou Mingyuan put away his flying sword, squatted by the pool, and scooped up a handful of water to wash his face, regardless of whether the water was cold or not.

Chen Yang also walked over, trying to calm himself down, just like Zhou Mingyuan.

hiss!
The water in the pool was really cold, much colder than the air temperature.

The icy chill seeped straight into my bones.

He circulated his true energy to protect his hands, then scooped up a handful of water from the pool and smeared it haphazardly on his face.

Cool!
It's so cold.

Chen Yang shuddered and instantly became much more awake.

At this moment, Huang Long said, "I knew those two cave entrances were ominous, damn it, but I never imagined they'd be this ominous. I should have known better than to tease that kid..."

This old Taoist priest is indeed quite skilled in divination.

Chen Yang didn't really believe it before, but now he truly does.

Hearing Huang Long's words, Chen Yang smiled bitterly. He had already risked his life, and you still called it a joke?
Thinking about it carefully, if Huang Long hadn't instigated him, he might not have clashed with Lu Xiong Ying. And if Huang Long hadn't said he was going to use the Soul-Seizing Technique on Lu Xiong Ying, Lu Xiong Ying wouldn't have been so desperate as to break the ice seal on the cave entrance.

Of course, Chen Yang also bears some responsibility.

He shouldn't have been so careless. In that situation, he was too curious about the Shennong Sect and the Kunlun Pingtian Sect, and he was eager to get the answers from Lu Xiong Ying, which led to the unexpected turn of events.

In hindsight, it was completely unnecessary.

Wang Youzhi and the other two had already collected their bodies. Afterwards, he could have the Eight-Winged Centipede go through their memories and figure things out, right?

Therefore, we still need to reflect deeply.

However, although this incident was quite dangerous, it was actually a good thing for Chen Yang.

After all, they got both illustration rewards.

Two pieces of Cordyceps sinensis of the immortal grade, spiritual herbs of the immortal herb level, which are used to temper the immortal body. He can use them after he has achieved the Great Perfection of the Immaculate Body.

Although he failed to kill the two beasts, Chen Yang did not feel regret.

The system gave him a task, but he didn't necessarily have to complete it now. Although Chen Yang was bold enough, he wouldn't do anything that would lead to his death. Knowing that he couldn't win and still doing it was simply courting death.

It's not too late to come when you're strong enough. Besides, the reward for killing these two beasts, a few dozen sacrificial sword stones, doesn't seem very tempting.

"Have they withdrawn?"

Chen Yang asked a question.

His legs were still a little weak, and he didn't want to stay in this place at all.

"Let's go."

Zhou Mingyuan shook his hands, stood up, rested for a while, and his complexion returned to normal.

The three of them looked back at the massive bronze gate, which was now covered with a thick layer of ice.

The lock on this door cannot be opened without Chen Yang's Dragon and Phoenix Pendants, and the two beasts naturally cannot escape, so there is no need to worry about future troubles.

The three then evacuated.

There are many branching caves around the cave, but fortunately there are markings, so finding the way out is not difficult.

Many of these side caves were still frozen and sealed off, and the three of them had no interest in exploring them anymore.

Although there may be some opportunities in these peripheral caves, such as when the old camphor tree and his companions found the incomplete formula for Qi Ling San and the method for cultivating the second primordial spirit, they all found these in these peripheral caves.

Opportunities exist, but they are also accompanied by dangers.

All three of them were exhausted and didn't want to unleash some monster again in a muddle.

Upon arriving at the cave entrance, they found the monk Langse and together they exited the cave.

Fortunately, Langse hid well enough that he wasn't discovered by the people who came in later; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have survived.
