116: Hostage - Dongfang Qianyue

Su Xiaobai's eyes widened, and he quickly shielded Dongfang Qian Yue, thinking, 'You can't kill her!'

"Sister, you're mistaken. If we kill her now, we're likely to face retaliation from the Profound Moon Sect and suffer a life-threatening disaster."

"Why don't we use her life to exchange for some resources with the Profound Moon Sect? Given her status in the Profound Moon Sect, she's bound to be worth many good things," he explained.

A ball of white flame had already condensed in the hand hidden behind his back.

If White Flower insisted on killing Dongfang Qian Yue, then he would have no choice but to silence her first.

He hadn't wanted to do this, because the Black Abyss White Flower siblings might still be useful in the Late Stage, and if they died, he didn't know what Karma upheaval it would cause.

But if she insisted on seeking death, then he couldn't be blamed!

White Flower pondered for a moment, then nodded, dispelling her water sword.

"Brother, you're right. Let's spare her life then," she said with a smile.

Little did she know, that decision had saved her life.

"Mm." Su Xiaobai's face showed a relieved smile, and the white flame on his hand behind his back also dissipated.

And every move he made behind his back was seen by Dongfang Qian Yue.

"I didn't expect him to care so much about my safety..." Her lips curved slightly, and a hint of warmth couldn't help but rise in her heart.

Owooo~

Suddenly, a mournful tiger's roar came from the mountains.

The crowd surrounding the ice mountain immediately stirred.

"That tiger was probably killed by a powerful cultivator! Let's seize this Opportunity and quickly enter the mountain to see what Opportunities are left!" someone shouted excitedly.

Immediately, everyone rushed into the ice mountain without stopping, fearing that if they were slow, the Opportunity would be snatched by others.

"Brother, look quickly, those people have entered the mountain!" White Flower also reminded Su Xiaobai.

"I know," Su Xiaobai walked forward unhurriedly, his lips curving slightly, "Let's go, we'll go in and take a look too."

...

Inside the ice mountain.

Su Xiaobai and White Flower walked in front.

Dongfang Qian Yue was led by Su Xiaobai with a vine, following behind like a prisoner.

A chill swept over them, and all three couldn't help but shiver.

"It's so cold." White Flower hugged her delicate body tightly.

Dongfang Qian Yue wasn't much better; she also wanted to hug herself, but her hands were tied, so she couldn't.

Here, they were all just ordinary human bodies, making it difficult to withstand the cold.

Snap!

Su Xiaobai snapped his fingers, and a warm fire shield enveloped the three, instantly dispelling the chill.

"It's so warm. Luckily, we have your fire Attribute, Brother." White Flower smiled.

Su Xiaobai nodded and reminded, "Don't be careless. In this ice mountain, there isn't just one type of Yao Beast, the fierce tiger; there are other Yao Beasts too. You two must be careful."

"Mm!"

The three continued to go deeper, and unknowingly, half an hour had passed.

The sky gradually darkened, but there was still some distance to the peak of the ice mountain.

Without spiritual power, everyone could only travel on foot.

"Look quickly, there's a blue light cluster ahead! Is it an Attribute?" White Flower suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

Su Xiaobai looked up. It was a pine forest covered in white snow.

Because it was already evening, the forest was dark and deep, making visibility poor and appearing very eerie.

And on a pine tree, there was indeed an energy orb shining with blue light, clearly an Attribute.

Although its brilliance was far from the one at the peak of the ice mountain, which was like a small sun, the Ultimate Ice Attribute.

But it was a genuine Attribute, capable of transforming a common Snowflake Chicken into a Phoenix.

"It should be an Elementary Ice Attribute, but this location is so obvious, yet no one has come to take it. That's very abnormal, isn't it?" Su Xiaobai pondered.

They had entered relatively late, and many people had moved before them, so it was impossible for them not to have seen this Attribute.

"Mm... Brother is right. Why don't we let her scout ahead first?" She pointed at Dongfang Qian Yue.

Dongfang Qian Yue's beautiful brows immediately furrowed.

She hadn't offended this girl, so why did she always think of harming her?

"This..." Su Xiaobai's eyes held a hint of hesitation. He turned to look at Dongfang Qian Yue, as if asking for her opinion.

Dongfang Qian Yue glared back at him directly, her face set, an expression of 'you figure it out yourself'.

"Sigh! Never mind, I'll go myself. She's an important hostage after all. It would be a huge loss if we couldn't get her back." Su Xiaobai sighed.

White Flower's beautiful brows furrowed slightly, "Brother, that's too dangerous. Even if she dies, it can cause a huge loss to the Profound Moon Sect, and we..."

"Alright, I have a plan. There's no need to mention this again." Su Xiaobai interrupted her, his tone carrying a hint of no room for objection.

White Flower's lips moved, wanting to say something, but she didn't, only her pretty face showing a hint of grievance.

"Brother never used to object to me! What kind of bewitching potion did this woman give him?" She glared fiercely at Dongfang Qian Yue.

Dongfang Qian Yue: "???"

At this moment, Su Xiaobai had already entered the pine forest.

It was pitch black in front of him; even White Flower and Dongfang Qian Yue behind him could only see blurry figures.

He arrived at the pine tree with the Ice Attribute.

Just as he was about to climb the tree to get the Attribute, he suddenly felt as if he had stepped on something under his feet, which was very uncomfortable.

He lowered his head to look, and it was a grotesque human head!

The head was already a bloody mess; the only things clearly visible were its bulging eyeballs and the exposed brain and brain matter.

Su Xiaobai frowned, a look of disgust on his face, "Shoo!"

He kicked the human head away.

It was then that he noticed that behind the pine tree, there was a pile of human dismembered remains!

"Cackle..."

Suddenly! A mocking chicken crow came from above his head.

Su Xiaobai's expression became vigilant.

Whoosh!

A sound of something cutting through the air came, as if something was rapidly approaching him!

A strong sense of danger enveloped Su Xiaobai's heart. He quickly turned away.

Screech!...

A blue blade sliced past his eyes, cutting off a strand of his long hair.

Boom!!!

The large tree in front of him was immediately cut down by that thing, split into two!

A drop of cold sweat dripped from Su Xiaobai's forehead. If he hadn't reacted quickly just now, it would have been him split into two.

His gaze looked forward.

A bird-like Yao Beast, resembling a peacock, was stomping its feet in the snow, its crimson eyes filled with Killing Intent.

Su Xiaobai carefully examined the bird, then his pupils suddenly widened, "I actually encountered a Snowflake Chicken, which is rare in a hundred years! This is a great tonic! Hahaha!"

The Snowflake Chicken was startled by his demonic laughter. Why was this human different from the others?

It pointed to the mountain of corpses piled up beside it, as if saying: Do you see what happened to them? Your fate will be the same as theirs!

"Hehehe, little Snowflake Chicken, don't be afraid, big brother isn't a bad person."

Su Xiaobai's face showed a sinister and terrifying smile, like Gargamel, slowly approaching the Snowflake Chicken.

"Chirp!" The Snowflake Chicken's feathers immediately stood on end!

This human is not to be trifled with!
