Chapter 1105 In the Wonderful Realm 5
Dugu He was the youngest Grandmaster in the Chiyang Kingdom. He had only recently broken through to the next level. After receiving the king's order, he knew that the matter of Changqing Mountain must be closely related to people from another world. However, remembering the words of his late Grandmaster, who was also his great-grandfather, he sighed and accepted the order, leaving the capital alone.

Dugu He was faster than most people, and because he had a token bestowed by the king, he arrived at the foot of Changqing Mountain without any hindrance in just seven days and joined up with the team guarding the place.

The squad leader, looking exhausted, said:

"Grandmaster He, two-thirds of our people have been frozen and their fate is unknown. I dare not let the rest of them go any further and can only retreat here. However, we have already blocked the road up the mountain."

Dugu He wore a black robe with dark gold patterns, covered by a cloak of the same color. His only two accessories were a gold belt and a white jade pendant, which also symbolized his identity.

After listening to the squad leader's report, Dugu He's cold face remained expressionless as he calmly gave the order:
"You stay here and are not to go up the mountain without my orders."

"Yes."

The remaining eight people immediately responded in unison.

Dugu He arrived at the only entrance to Changqing Mountain, leaped away, and disappeared from the sight of the remaining people. Immediately, someone whispered in amazement:

"As expected of a Grandmaster, we are still far behind."

"I hope Grandmaster He can successfully bring the otherworldly beings down the mountain."

"How come these otherworldly beings are so powerful? Aren't they supposed to be suppressed after arriving here?"

How would I know?

The murmurs gradually subsided, and the eight people returned to their original positions, but their gazes kept drifting towards the direction where Grandmaster He had disappeared.

Dugu He advanced at full speed and reached the frozen mountaintop in just half an hour. His brows were furrowed tightly because even he found it difficult to resist the bone-chilling cold, and he also saw more than a dozen people frozen into ice sculptures.

These people maintained their forward movement and expressions, without even fear on their faces. They must have been frozen solid during the climb to the summit, hence their calm demeanor.

Dugu He paused for a moment, and after getting used to the cold, he wrapped his cloak tighter around himself, lightly touched the ground with his black leather boots, and then leaped into the snow-covered area.

Just as Dugu He's toes touched the white ice and snow, a chilling aura spread from his toes throughout his body, attempting to freeze him as well. This made Dugu He's expression turn serious. He quickly circulated his internal energy to dispel the chill, and at the same time, he pushed off with his toes again, continuing to rush towards the mountaintop.

When the Taixu Heavenly Ice Flame sensed someone approaching the mountaintop, it immediately separated a flame. This time, it didn't want to freeze the person; it wanted to burn them to death. Just then, Yunxi's eyelashes trembled, as if she was about to awaken.

The Taixu Heavenly Ice Flame temporarily halted its actions to kill the approaching entity, returned to Yunxi's body, and began to call out to Yunxi through the contract seal.

Yunxi felt she had slept for a long time this time, and unusually, she didn't dream or see any strange things. She simply allowed her soul to rest, and the fatigue she had accumulated seemed to have disappeared. However, Yunxi could sense that her beast pets were trying to wake her, forcing her to awaken from her deep sleep. After her eyelashes fluttered several times, she finally opened her eyes, stared blankly at the blue sky and white clouds for a while, and then tried to get up.

This time she failed. After her consciousness returned to her body, she realized that she was also seriously injured. Fortunately, when Lining self-destructed the evil infant, the golden armor helped her block most of the attack, but even so, her internal organs were still injured.

Just as Yunxi was about to use her divine sense to check her injuries, a dull pain shot through her forehead, causing her vision to go black and almost making her faint again. She then realized that she could not use her divine sense and immortal energy, which felt even worse than when she entered the Shatuo Kingdom last time.

Yunxi slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air to ease the dull pain. She remembered that Lining's self-destruction had forcibly broken through her barrier, which ultimately severely damaged her divine sense. The physical injuries were secondary.

Just then, Yunxi's ears twitched. She realized that someone was approaching her. Although she couldn't use her divine sense, her five senses were still sharp, and she also saw the Taixu Heavenly Ice Flame covering her body.

Yunxi moved her lips and said softly:
"Taixu, it was you who protected me."

The pale blue flames on its body flickered, which served as an answer to Yunxi's question.

Taixu Tianbingyan also discovered that he could not communicate with his master through the contract seal. He also guessed that his master's divine consciousness was probably severely damaged, and Yunxi's words confirmed this.

"Tai Xu, my divine sense has been severely damaged, and I'm afraid I can't communicate with you using it. I don't know where this place is, but my immortal energy is also being suppressed. So for a long time to come, I'll need you to protect me. Don't easily deplete your own power, or I'm afraid I won't be able to replenish it for you."

The Taixu Heavenly Ice Flame flickered once more, indicating that it understood.

As Dugu He approached the summit, he had already pushed his internal energy cultivation to its limit, but as he got closer to the top, he felt the chill weakening.

Yunxi also sensed that the person was getting closer and closer to her, and she spoke to Taixu Tianbingyan again:
"Taixu, let that person come over. As long as he doesn't hurt me, let him take me away from here. I need to find a safe place to heal my injuries. This place is not suitable for me to stay for long."

The Taixu Heavenly Ice Flame flickered again before retracting into Yunxi's body. The surrounding chill slowly dissipated, and Yunxi closed her eyes again. It wasn't that she didn't want to move; she simply couldn't.

Dugu He noticed that the chill on the mountaintop was weakening, even less so than halfway up the mountain. He immediately became more alert and slowed his pace until he saw the woman lying in the snowdrift, at which point he stopped.

Dugu He looked at the pale-faced woman and did not approach her rashly. Only after confirming that she showed no signs of waking up did he approach step by step. He took each step very carefully until he placed his hand under the woman's nose for a moment to confirm that she had really lost consciousness. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Then Dugu He grasped the woman's wrist and probed in a wisp of his inner energy, wanting to know the reason for her unconsciousness. However, his inner energy was absorbed into her body in less than a breath, so he immediately withdrew his hand and did not try to inject any more inner energy into her body.

Dugu He is now certain that the unconscious woman in front of him is from another world, but she is currently breathing very weakly, as if she could die at any moment.

He looked around and noticed a long golden staff stuck in the ground at the other person's feet. He didn't know if it was her weapon or if she had been injured by it. Dugu He remained silent for a long time before finally sending a signal down the mountain, instructing the eight people to quickly go up the mountain.
