Chapter 684 You think you can rob and kill? (Seeking monthly votes)

As expected, there were no unexpected events along the way.

After a year of high-speed flight, we finally saw the majestic snow-capped mountains in the distance.

The mountain peaks stretch endlessly.

A city entirely made of ice stood before them, the three large characters "Frost and Snow City" on the city gate shining brightly in the sunlight.

"We've finally arrived at the 'Northern Frost Continent'!"

Su Muqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes! After a year of flying over the vast black sea, it was really boring. Finally, I can see the world where humans live."

Seeing that great city, Zhao Qi felt as if she had been transported to another world.

"Yes! We're finally back!"

Li Yunjing could not hide his excitement as well.

"Yes! I never imagined that leaving 'Huangze Continent' and following you would involve taking so many risks!"

Ye Wuhen laughed.

"Haha! Fellow Daoist Ye, rest assured, your contributions need no further explanation! I will certainly report back truthfully upon meeting that senior!"

Li Yunjing naturally understood the implied meaning in Ye Wuhen's words.

"It's so convenient to talk to someone as smart as you!"

Ye Wuhen smiled, not hiding his true thoughts.

Li Yunjing shook his head and chuckled to himself.

Just like Ye Wuhen, Li Yunjing found cooperating with this person very easy. This powerful figure in the demonic path did as he pleased and had no intention of hiding his thoughts.

This kind of exchange was very enjoyable!

Li Yunjing likes straightforward people!
"Let's go! Let's go down!"

With a gentle wave of his hand, Ye Wuhen sent a thrust through the "Heavenly Demon Ship," pushing Li Yunjing, Zhao Qi, and Su Muqing out of the ship.

Before long, Li Yunjing and his three companions arrived at the city gate.

Several guards dressed in white leather armor were walking towards them.

"Newcomers? Ten mid-grade spirit stones per person for the city entrance fee."

The lead guard said coldly.

A cold glint flashed in Ye Wuhen's eyes, and he was about to lash out when Li Yunjing took out forty spirit stones and handed them over: "The four of us."

The guard accepted the spirit stone, his attitude softening slightly: "Private duels are prohibited within the city; violators will be severely punished."

After saying that, he stepped aside to clear the way.

Upon entering the city, Li Yunjing discovered that the architectural style here was quite different from other places.

All the houses were made of ice, the streets were sparsely populated, and everyone was wrapped in thick fur.

"Let's find an inn to settle down first."

As Li Yunjing spoke, his gaze swept over the shops along the street, "Let's rest for a bit, then travel across the 'Northern Cold Continent' to the 'Tianlan Continent'!"

"Alright!"

Ye Wuhen suddenly stopped in his tracks: "Brother Li, farewell. We'll rest for a month and then meet at the South Gate."

Li Yunjing knew he was going to have some fun, so he didn't ask any more questions. He simply cupped his hands and said, "Take care, Brother Ye."

After watching Ye Wuhen disappear around the street corner, Li Yunjing led Zhao Qi and Su Muqing to an inn called "Hanmei Residence".

After booking two superior rooms, he went out alone to gather information.

At the market in "Frost and Snow City", Li Yunjing casually stopped in front of a shop that sold information.

"This fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar. Are you new to this city?"

The shop owner was a lean old man with a shrewd glint in his eyes.

"I'm new here and want to ask around for some information."

Li Yunjing smiled slightly.

As for how the other party will judge?

That's it.

"Frost City" is located in the far north, a place with no resources and bitter cold, where it is rare to see any strangers.

With someone as refined as Li Yunjing appearing before the shop owner, the shop owner could naturally assure him that he had never seen this person before.

"It's easy to talk about."

The old man rubbed his hands together. "I wonder what you want to know, my friend? As for the price, it depends on how important the information is."

After Li Yunjing paid enough spirit stones, the old man spent an hour revealing all the information he knew.

Having obtained all the information, Li Yunjing was satisfied and paid a huge sum of spirit stones. He now knew the city and its surroundings like the back of his hand.

After settling down at the "Hanmei Residence" inn, Li Yunjing began to work on repairing the "Sky Patrol Ship" that had been damaged in the "Far North".

For the past month, he spent his days collecting materials throughout the city and his nights entering the "Purple Gold Gourd" to focus on repairing this flying magic weapon.

“Fellow Daoist Li, this is the ‘Frosty Marrow Iron’ that we found today at the ‘Mysterious Ice Pavilion’ in the south of the city.”

Su Muqing pushed open the door and placed a storage bag on the table. "The shopkeeper's price was too high. I used three bottles of 'Frost Condensation Pill' to get it."

"Excellent, perfect for repairing cracks in the ship's hull."

Li Yunjing opened the storage bag and nodded in satisfaction.

As he spoke, he took out the piece of metal that gleamed with a faint blue light. "With this, at least we can ensure that the 'Sky Patrol Ship' will not continue to deteriorate."

"My lord, do we really want to continue traveling across the Northern Cold Continent aboard the 'Sky Patrol Ship'?"

Zhao Qi stood to the side and asked curiously, "Can't we ride Ye Wuhen's 'Heavenly Demon'?"

"never mind!"

Li Yunjing shook his head and smiled wryly, "When I'm in a populated area, I'm really afraid that I'll be killed by demons and monsters while traveling on the 'Heavenly Demon'."

A month goes by in a blink of an eye.

During this period, Li Yunjing almost completely emptied the crafting materials in "Frost and Snow City".

"Fellow Daoist Li, this is the last batch of 'Mysterious Ice Sand'."

Su Muqing placed a bag of gleaming sand on the table. "We've bought up all the stock in the city."

"enough."

Li Yunjing nodded in satisfaction: "The final repair work can be completed tonight."

Zhao Qi brought over a cup of spiritual tea and said softly, "Husband, I just heard at the market that many cultivators have been inquiring about us recently."

Do you know who it is?

Li Yunjing frowned and asked casually.

The three of them practically swept up all the resources in the city, and it was only natural that such a large-scale operation would attract attention.

"They seem to be spies from the Ice Soul Sect."

Zhao Qi said worriedly, "Could it be that we bought too many materials and attracted attention?"

"It doesn't matter."

Li Yunjing pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "We're leaving tomorrow, so even if they have any suspicions, it will be too late."

That night, inside the "Purple Gold Gourd".

Li Yunjing hovered in mid-air, his hands forming hand seals, and beams of spiritual light shot into the "Sky Patrol Ship" in front of him.

The cracks on the ship's hull gradually healed with repairs, and the defensive array regained its light.

"rise!"

As the final incantation was cast, the entire "Sky Patrol Ship" hummed, its body shimmering with a pale blue light.

"I finally finished it before departure."

Li Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.

The next morning, the three packed their belongings and left "Hanmei Residence".

The innkeeper respectfully saw them out. Over the past month, Li Yunjing's extravagant spending had made him a fortune.

"Take care, Senior Li! Welcome back again!"

Li Yunjing smiled and nodded, leading the two women toward the south gate.

The streets remained deserted, but his keen senses alerted him to several pairs of eyes following him closely from the shadows.

"Someone is following."

Li Yunjing transmitted his voice, "Don't alert them, just walk normally."

Su Muqing and Zhao Qi understood each other and followed behind Li Yunjing with normal expressions.

The three of them had no fear whatsoever and were just waiting for the person in the shadows to make their move!

Recent expenses have been huge. Although we purchased a massive amount of ice-type resources, which can fetch an astronomical price in the "Southern Sky Continent," we are genuinely short of money!
If someone is foolish enough to offer them money, Li Yunjing will naturally not refuse!

From afar, Ye Wuhen could be seen standing outside the city gate.

"Brother Li, you've come at the perfect time!"

Ye Wuhen was bored when he saw Li Yunjing and the other two. He laughed and waved, "I was just about to come find you guys!"

"How have you been this past month, Brother Ye?"

Li Yunjing strode forward and smiled.

"Hahaha, so happy!"

Ye Wuhen laughed, "Although this 'Frost and Snow City' is deserted, the 'Ice Soul Wine' from 'Winter Plum Abode' is really good. I even managed to get a few jars, which I'll savor slowly on the road."

"It seems that the Ice Soul Sect has its eyes on us."

As he was speaking, he looked around and lowered his voice: "There are actually a few fools spying on us?"

"hey-hey!"

Li Yunjing's gaze sharpened: "We've noticed them too. I'm planning to take them out of the city and find a secluded place to wipe them out!"

"good idea!"

Ye Wuhen immediately understood Li Yunjing's thoughts.

This put him in a great mood!
He was very satisfied with Li Yunjing's approach. "Your 'Heavenly Demon' is too conspicuous, you should take my ship instead!"

Li Yunjing took out the repaired "Sky Patrol Ship" and hovered it in mid-air.

"Alright!"

Ye Wuhen was taken aback, but then he understood what Li Yunjing meant and couldn't help but laugh.

Under the watchful eyes of some individuals, the four boarded the "Sky Patrol Ship" and slowly flew south.

After flying for about half a day, the vast snowfield below was no longer visible; instead, some withered branches appeared, indicating that there was more life here.

"Brother Li, at this speed, even if we fly for a year, we still won't be able to leave the 'Northern Cold Continent'!"

Ye Wuhen stood at the bow of the ship, holding a map in his hand. "However, there is a 'Storm Canyon' ahead, which is said to be filled with extremely cold winds all year round, which even Nascent Soul cultivators find difficult to withstand."

"I know! But the 'Sky Patrol Ship' has been damaged and cannot move at full speed!"

Li Yunjing nodded: "Once we get to other cities, we'll use the teleportation array to travel. It'll just cost a little more money!"

As they were talking, Su Muqing suddenly exclaimed, "Fellow Daoist Li, there are pursuers behind us!"

Everyone turned to look and saw hundreds of black dots appearing on the horizon, approaching at an extremely fast speed.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a group of monks riding snow sculptors, each wearing a white cloak with ice crystal patterns embroidered on their chests.

"They are the Snow Eagle Guards of the Ice Soul Sect!"

A sharp glint flashed in Ye Wuhen's eyes, "Perfect for relieving boredom!"

"Everyone get ready, we'll make our move in ten miles ahead!"

Li Yunjing said in a deep voice.

The "Sky Patrol Ship" immediately accelerated, but the snow sculptures were moving incredibly fast, and the distance between them continued to shrink.

Before long, the pursuers came into view. The middle-aged man at the head of the group shouted, "Wait a moment, cultivators! I am Leng Wuchen, elder of the Ice Soul Sect. I have something to ask you!"

"What brings you here, Elder Leng?"

Ye Wuhen sneered and was about to respond when Li Yunjing spoke first: "We are just passing cultivators, in a hurry to get on our way."

“Fellow Daoists, a month ago our sect lost a batch of precious materials. Some people saw that the merchants who had contact with you two later died suddenly.”

Leng Wuchen rode his snow eagle closer, his gaze shifting between Li Yunjing and Ye Wuhen: "Do you two have anything to explain?"

Li Yunjing felt a chill run down his spine and immediately realized that he had been framed.

"Elder Leng, what you're saying is laughable."

He said in a deep voice, "You think you can just make up some excuse to deal with us?"

"is it?"

Leng Wuchen sneered, "Then why were my sect's disciples shaken off when they were following you? Are you feeling guilty?"

"fart!"

Ye Wuhen finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Why do I need to explain my actions to you? If you want to fight, then fight, stop making a racket!"

"In that case, don't blame us for being rude!"

Leng Wuchen's face darkened: "Snow Eagle Guards, form the formation!"

Hundreds of Snow Eagle Guards immediately dispersed, forming an encirclement.

Each of them conjured an ice mirror, their light intertwining to form a massive net of light in the air.

"Ice Soul Mystic Light Array!"

Leng Wuchen shouted, "Sleepy!"

The optical network rapidly contracted, threatening to envelop the "sky patrol ship".

Li Yunjing made a decisive move: "Brother Ye, make your move!"

He would not allow the "Sky Patrol Ship" to continue fighting the enemy. This treasure ship had reached its limit, and if it participated in another major battle, it would probably disintegrate!
"it is good!"

Ye Wuhen grinned maliciously, spewing out billowing demonic energy that corroded large holes in the approaching light net.

Li Yunjing then protected the "Sky Patrol Ship" behind him!
As for Zhao Qi, Su Muqing and the other two women haven't come down yet. Staying on the "Sky Patrol Ship" is safer for them, so there's no need for him and Ye Wuhen to worry about them.

"Want to resist?"

A Golden Core cultivator from the Ice Soul Sect formed hand seals, and an icy blue sword aura pierced through the air, aiming straight for Li Yunjing's heart.

"Ridiculous!"

Li Yunjing shook his head slightly, reached out and grabbed, and the blue sword energy was instantly shattered.

In the next instant, he moved swiftly, and before the other's terrified eyes, a palm lightly landed on the other's forehead.

The man collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, motionless.

The ten cultivators from the Ice Soul Sect who were standing nearby were shocked when they saw this. They wanted to avenge their fellow disciples, but Li Yunjing slapped them repeatedly, and in an instant, they all lay dead on the ground.

"kill him!"

The hundreds of Ice Soul Sect cultivators around were taken aback.

Both Ye Wuhen and Li Yunjing displayed terrifying combat power. Even with the support of formations and spirit beasts, they were still swept away by the opponent.

"kill!"

Li Yunjing had already decided to kill, and he didn't care about the thoughts of the "Ice Soul Sect" cultivators. The sea of ​​lightning surged into the sky, surging and turbulent, moving in all directions. Lightning explosions were everywhere, blasting many people nearby into pieces.

"Junior sister!"

"Junior brother!"

"teacher!"

"Elder!"

"father!"

……

The remaining Ice Soul Sect cultivators were filled with grief and indignation, and they all let out desperate cries.

At this moment, they lost their haughty status as hunters, and their hearts were filled with boundless fear!

You hit a brick wall!

"who are you?"

Leng Wuchen's eyes were bloodshot. In an instant, the once spirited man was now filled with despair and regret.

"You don't even know who Brother Li and I are, yet you dare to rob us? Who gave you the courage?"

Ye Wuhen walked step by step toward Leng Wuchen, his face filled with deep mockery.

"You... you..."

Leng Wuchen's face was deathly pale. Seeing that there were no more fellow disciples alive around him, he staggered back a few steps, and the ice mirror in his hand fell to the ground with a "clatter".

"Heh heh! Offend me and you'll die!"

With a sinister grin, Ye Wuhen unleashed the "Nine Netherworld Demon Banner," and amidst the surging black mist, the souls of the fallen Snow Eagle Guards were completely devoured.

Dozens of pained and distorted faces suddenly appeared on the banner.

"stop!"

Leng Wuchen's eyes were bloodshot with rage. "Do you know the consequences of offending the Ice Soul Sect? Our sect's Supreme Elder is a peerless expert at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Realm!"

"Sevenfold?"

Ye Wuhen scoffed disdainfully, "I kill experts!"

"Even if it costs me my life, I will drag you down with me!"

Leng Wuchen's expression shifted between light and dark. Suddenly, he pulled out an ice crystal talisman from his robes and crushed it.

The moment the talisman shattered, a dazzling blue light shot into the sky, exploding thousands of feet above the ground and transforming into a giant ice lotus pattern.

It is clearly visible for miles around.

"The sect is sending a distress signal!"

Li Yunjing's expression changed slightly. "Brother Ye, let's finish this quickly."

"This is exactly what I've been waiting for!"

Seeing that Leng Wuchen had sent the signal, Ye Wuhen no longer hesitated and unleashed a burst of demonic energy directly at Leng Wuchen.

The latter hastily conjured an ice shield, but it shattered like paper under the attack of the true demonic energy.

"puff!"

The demonic energy passed through his body, and Leng Wuchen's eyes widened as he looked down in disbelief at the bloody hole in his chest.

He opened his mouth, but only spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body fell like a kite with a broken string.

"hey-hey!"

Ye Wuhen skillfully collected the man's belongings, stood in the void with a cold smile, and waited for the reinforcements the man would summon!
Now that he knows that the Ice Soul Sect only has one Nascent Soul Realm seventh level cultivator, what else does he have to worry about?
Taking advantage of the fact that the other party has left the sect and is not protected by the sect's protective formation, we should kill him and plunder more wealth!
Li Yunjing released Little Yellow from the "Purple Gold Gourd." As the peregrine falcon looted the valuables, a deafening roar suddenly echoed from the distant horizon.

Before the words had even faded, a white streak of light streaked across the sky like a meteor, arriving in an instant.

"who is it?"

"Dare to kill someone from my sect?"

"Whether in heaven or on earth, death is inevitable!"

The newcomer was dressed in a white robe, with white hair and beard, and exuded a terrifying aura.

He stood in mid-air, his gaze sweeping across the corpses scattered on the ground like lightning, finally settling on Li Yunjing and the other person.

"Insanity!"

Ye Wuhen sneered and flew in front of the other party.

"Whether you're arrogant or not, you try it!"

The white-robed old man snorted coldly, and with a wave of his sleeve, the snowflakes instantly condensed into countless ice spikes, which shot down from the sky.

Each ice spike contained terrifying spiritual power at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul realm, causing the space to distort slightly wherever it passed.

"court death!"

Enraged, Ye Wuhen launched a sudden attack. The "Nine Netherworld Demon Banner" fluttered in the wind, and countless wronged souls roared out, transforming into a black torrent that rushed towards the white-robed old man.

The countless ice spikes in the air were all blocked by the fierce ghosts!

Many vengeful spirits were torn apart and turned into nothingness.

Ye Wuhen didn't care at all. His "Nine Netherworld Demon Banner" had countless wronged souls and vengeful ghosts. Even when there were none, he could simply capture some living beings!
