279: Chapter 279 Let me do it myself, you chose it yourself, didn't you?

"What's going on!?"

The Elders, Deacons, and Disciples of the Flower Sect gathered together, looking around in shock.

For at least a radius of ten miles, as far as the eye could see, it was snowing, and the snowflakes spread immediately upon hitting the ground.

The mountains, rocks, lakes—everything was frozen in ice.

Even those Demonic Beasts, even seventh-rank ones that could manipulate spatial power, would be frozen upon touching the snowflakes.

"Who is it!"

"Who dares to ruin my good deed?"

A furious roar suddenly rang out in the sky.

The people of the Flower Sect looked up and saw countless snowflakes appearing around Wu Ming, each one a Sword Qi that shattered the space.

Wu Ming was caught off guard and struck by several of those Sword Qi, and one of his legs was instantly frozen; the cold energy was still spreading through his body.

Feeling that his large body made him an easier target, Wu Ming immediately transformed into human form, only to be met with a several-zhang-sized ice handprint flying towards him.

Although it was only several zhang, Wu Ming could feel the majestic energy contained within. If it landed on the ground, the cold energy released would be enough to turn dozens of miles into a world of ice and snow.

This was a manifestation of extreme control over ice power. Wu Ming had once fought with the Ice Venerable of the Ice River Valley, and even he didn't have such methods.

"Boom!"

Wu Ming used several Dou Techniques before barely blocking the seal, only to find a Yin-Yang taiji diagram appearing out of thin air a hundred zhang below his feet. Terrifying energy surged within it, creating a Spatial Lock over ten miles. The Yin Yang Twin Flames transformed into Yin-Yang twin fish and flew out, shuttling through the Void Realm to restrict him.

Along with the lock, Wu Ming's suppression of Hua Jin was also broken, allowing her to leave the lotus and catch her breath.

"Are you alright?"

Ice condensed in the Void Realm and then instantly transformed into a human figure.

Hua Jin saw a young man wearing white robes, descending like a banished immortal from the ice. He gave off the feeling of a divine flower standing alone on a high mountain ice field, yet also gave people an inexplicable urge to pluck it.

Not knowing what she was thinking, a blush appeared on Hua Jin's delicate face, and she said in a gentle voice, "I am fine. Thank you for your assistance, Your Excellency."

"You're welcome." Gu Han nodded slightly to Hua Jin. "A Senior of mine is an old friend of your sect's Grand Elder. Since I saw you in danger, it is only right that I help."

"May I know the Young Master's name and title? And who is the Senior you mentioned?" Hua Jin was happy; having a connection was great as she could take the opportunity to get closer.

This person looked so young—of course, he might just be skilled at maintaining his appearance—but his powerful strength was real!

"My name is Gu Han. As for my title, many people call me the Snow Sword Young Master, but you can also call me the Snow Sword Venerable."

"The Senior I mentioned is very famous in the Central Plains. Everyone likes to call him Venerable Yao." Gu Han used Yao Chen's name.

This way, he could quickly get the people of the Flower Sect to lower their guard and be accepted by them. He would also receive the highest level of treatment when going to the Flower Sect.

"Venerable Yao?" Hua Jin was slightly stunned, then said with some surprise, "You mean the Sect Leader of the Starfall Pavilion who has been missing for over twenty years, Venerable Yao?"

"Indeed." Gu Han nodded slightly and took out a token representing his status as a Guest Grand Elder of the Starfall Pavilion. "I was invited by Venerable Yao and the Wind Venerable to become a Guest Grand Elder of the Starfall Pavilion. Venerable Yao said he was once an old friend of Fairy Qing of the Flower Sect. I didn't remember that wrong, did I?"

"No, you're right." Hua Jin nodded immediately.

"What are you doing in the Cangming Mountains?" Gu Han asked knowingly.

"Well, it's like this..." After a moment's thought, Hua Jin explained the situation without hiding anything, including the injury of Sect Master Hua Yu.

The Tianming Sect's attack on Hua Yu was no secret among the truly powerful.

The Flower Sect had asked the Pill Tower to refine a Medicinal Pill to help heal Hua Yu, and the Dan Ta Three Giants had not refused.

But to heal a Peak Dou Zun, one would need either a targeted top-tier Eighth Grade Pill or a Ninth Grade Pill.

Clearly, the Flower Sect couldn't afford to have the Pill Tower refine a Ninth Grade Pill for Hua Yu. Even if they didn't need to pay for the labor, ninth-rank natural Spirit Medicines weren't easy to find.

As for Eighth Grade Pills, currently only a type of pill invented by Venerable Yao could help Hua Yu, but unfortunately, he had been missing.

Now that Hua Jin heard Gu Han mention Yao Chen, a glimmer of hope instantly rose in her heart.

Rather than just detoxifying, she naturally hoped Hua Yu could fully recover.

"That is quite a coincidence." Gu Han flipped his wrist, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand. "I plan to explore the Nine Serene Yellow Springs of the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan. A while ago, I had Senior Yao refine a heavenly nether purifying pill for me just in case. I can trade it to your sect."

An Eighth Grade Pill certainly couldn't be given away for free. Even if he was willing to trade, it would be a great favor to the Flower Sect.

And indeed, seeing the pill in Gu Han's hand, Hua Jin was overjoyed. "Young Master Gu Han, that's wonderful! This pill is very important to my sect. Rest assured, we will not mistreat you. We can include a fee for your help and then do an equivalent exchange."

As expected, being a middleman is the most profitable. He didn't pay Yao Chen any fee or reward for his help.

After all, he had helped Yao Chen and Xiao Yan so much that they were the ones who owed him favors.

Now, it was time to cash in.

"We'll talk more when we get to the Flower Sect." Gu Han put the pill away.

Just then, Wu Ming, who was trapped by the taiji diagram, miserably dodged the snowflake Sword Qi and roared in pain and fury: "Kid, who are you? How dare you attack this Venerable? Do you know my identity?"

"Do I need to know such meaningless things to kill you?" Gu Han retorted, using his Soul Power to control the Yin-Yang Great Void Map, with Sword Qi constantly flying out.

This move was something he had recently created by combining most of his Dou Techniques, with the Snowflake Sword Technique and the Five Elements Transformation Cold Seal as the core.

Five Elements and Yin and Yang can all be transformed into extreme cold energy, controlled by Sword Intent to be everywhere.

Of course, "everywhere" referred to the range of his Soul perception.

With his Early Stage Heaven State Soul Power, it covered a radius of thousands of miles.

"You're only a One-star Dou Zun, and you think you can kill me!?" Wu Ming was very sensitive to aura.

Although Gu Han's methods were troublesome, he wasn't afraid.

He was an eighth-rank Early Stage Peak Demonic Beast. He could even fight a four-star human Dou Zun. Even if he couldn't win, escaping wouldn't be a problem.

"Whether I can kill you or not, you'll find out when you try!"

Gu Han formed a seal with his hand. A giant ice sword quickly condensed in the center of the taiji diagram. The aura it emitted froze the entire Void Realm that Wu Ming had shattered.

This also shattered some of his little schemes, and his expression became very ugly.

"Boom!"

The giant ice sword flew towards Wu Ming. Unable to withstand it, he had to reveal his true form.

The giant sword was shattered, turning into dozens of ice Sword Qi that chopped off dozens of Wu Ming's legs.

"Bastard!" Wu Ming shouted. "You only dare to attack from the outside. If you have the guts, come in and fight me personally!"

"Oh?"

Gu Han took a step forward, his figure scattering like snowflakes.

"Since you want to die sooner, I will grant your wish."
