Chapter 716
by Moonlit_Scholar_COn the glacier, several disciples of the Ice Sect wearing snow-white clothes were running at full speed. They were exactly the group of people who had made a deal with He Pu and others.
Led by the middle-aged man at the front, this group of people’s direction of movement swayed left and right.
There were many large and small icebergs on the glacier, and they were wearing snow-white clothes. Their means of restraining their auras were quite exquisite. If one didn’t carefully search, it was simply impossible to detect their traces.
As the leading middle-aged man led the disciples to run, he frowned tightly. He always had a feeling of being followed, but when he released his spiritual sense to search, he found nothing. He couldn’t help but feel a bit impatient.
After running for half a day, instead of getting closer to the location of the Ice Sect, they were getting farther and farther away from it.
A young woman beside him finally couldn’t help but ask, “Uncle Ni Ren, why are we running in this direction？”
The middle-aged man didn’t answer, as if he didn’t hear.
The young woman pouted and asked again, “Also, just now that person wanted to find Junior Sister Su Yan. Why did you tell him that she wasn’t in the Ice Sect？ She clearly is. I saw her a year ago.”
Ni Ren then gave the woman a cold look. Under his gaze, the woman immediately became flustered and quickly shut up.
A young man beside the woman comforted, “Junior Sister, don’t ask anymore. Uncle Shi must have his reasons for doing this. It’s all for our own good. The hearts of people outside are sinister. That guy has a ven-like head and rat-like eyes. At first glance he is not a good person. He came to our Ice Sect to look for someone. We don’t know what kind of intentions he has.”
“Oh.” The young woman responded. Although she didn’t quite agree in her heart, she didn’t dare to ask any more questions.
Another disciple who looked a bit steady quickened his pace, approached Ni Ren, and asked in a low voice, “Uncle Shi, are we being followed？”
Ni Ren frowned and said lightly, “I don’t know. Maybe it’s my illusion.” Among that group of people, there should be no one who has the strength to follow me without being discovered by me. Just in case, let’s take a few more detours.”
“Yes.”
Ni Ren’s brows were tightly furrowed. Recalling Yang Kai’s appearance, he kept shaking his head, wondering if he was being too cautious.
Although that young man looked a bit extraordinary and was not an ordinary hand among the younger generation, after all, his age was there, and his cultivation level probably wouldn’t be too high.
But what made Ni Ren care was that the person he was looking for was actually Su Yan.
That woman who somehow entered the Ice Sect two years ago!
Just after joining for a short time, this woman shines astonishing peerless. The Sect Master and several elders all said that given time, she would surely achieve the top achievement of the Third-Order Saint Realm!
Moreover, her performance was also astonishing. When she joined the sect, she was only at the Eighth Layer of the Divine Movement Realm. In less than a year, she had successfully advanced to the Transcendent Realm, and her cultivation progress was extremely fast. According to Elder Qianyue, this woman named Su Yan had been in seclusion in the Ice and Snow Cave for the past year. Now, no one knows what realm her cultivation has reached.
She only took one look at the secret scriptures and various secret techniques of the Ice Sect and mastered them all.
This is something that no one in the history of the Ice Sect has been able to do.
With her talent, she is not far from the legendary special physique – the Ice Crystal Jade Body. Unfortunately, the Ice Crystal Jade Body is too rare, and no one has ever been found to possess such a special physique.
Ni Ren has not had much contact with Su Yan, but he also learned from Elder Qianyue that a woman like Su Yan is the best talent for cultivating the unique skills of the Ice Sect！ Originally, the Sect Master reluctantly accepted her into the sect, but after discovering her astonishing talent, Elder Qianyue had the idea of accepting her as a disciple. Not only were the secret scriptures and martial arts skills opened to her, but even the forbidden area like the Ice and Snow Cave was allowed to be stepped on by her at will.
Unfortunately, that girl didn’t seem too willing to join the Ice Sect, which made Elder Qianyue love and hate her, and there was really nothing he could do.
As soon as Yang Kai mentioned Su Yan, Ni Ren became vigilant.
If it were other disciples, Ni Ren probably wouldn’t have concealed it like this. But since it concerns Su Yan, Ni Ren feels that this matter should be reported to Elder Qianyue first to see what her opinion is.
With such thoughts in mind, his feet didn’t stop. He was still in the world of glaciers and icebergs.
Yang Kai, who was following in the distance, narrowed his eyes slightly, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.
The other party seemed to sense that he was being followed, but couldn’t be sure, so he was going around in circles like this, attempting to shake him off.
But under Yang Kai’s powerful spiritual consciousness, everything Ni Ren did was in vain.
Three days later, Yang Kai noticed that the group of people suddenly disappeared in a cluster of icebergs, and their life auras vanished strangely without a trace.
After waiting quietly for a while, Yang Kai frowns and strolled to the area where the icebergs were dense.
After careful investigation for a long time, Yang Kai still didn’t have any harvest. He could only determine that there must be some mystery hidden inside these icebergs.
However, what made him was so excited that he felt Su Yan’ssmell!
Because of practicing the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique, as long as the two parties are within a certain range, they canInduction to each other’s existence.
Moreover, the energy of the Yin-Yang Demon Ginseng is still flowing in their bodies, which has enhanced this intangible spiritual connection by a lot.
Su Yan wasn’t far away from him. She was inside this expanse of icebergs, breathing evenly as if she had fallen asleep. No matter how Yang Kai transmitted his spiritual thoughts, he couldn’t get the slightest response from her.
Yang Kai’s expression instantly turned gloomy.
Something unexpected must have happened to Su Yan！ Otherwise, upon detecting his arrival, she would have excitedly rushed out.
In an instant, Yang Kai’s anger surged and killing intent rose. His gaze became unfriendly.
Inside the icebergs, everything was crystal clear.
The foundation of the Ice Sect was within this continuous stretch of icebergs. I don’t know how many years ago, the Ice Sect was a well-known and great power on the Tongxuan Continent. But because of an accident, the entire Ice Sect relocated and secluded themselves here, no longer having contact with the outside world or accepting outsiders.
Every dozen or so years, the elders of the Ice Sect would go out to travel and seek out some disciples with extremely good bone qualifications and bring them back to replenish the fresh blood of the Ice Sect. And these people were all orphans wandering without fathers or mothers.
The strictness of selecting disciples made every disciple of the Ice Sect possess proud capital and strength.
The number of people in the Ice Sect wasn’t large. From the Sect Master down, there were only about five hundred people. But there were quite a few experts. There were several Saint Realm powerhouses and two or three dozen Transcendent Realm experts. It could be seen that the Ice Sect was powerful in cultivating people and had a unique perspective in finding disciples.
At this moment, in the center of an iceberg, within an ice chamber, Ni Ren was reporting the matters of this transaction to Elder Qianyue.
Qianyue was a middle-aged woman with a beautiful appearance. Although she didn’t look old, she was actually a Saint Stage 1 powerhouse. Just like Fei Yu, she had the ability to maintain her youthful appearance.
After listening to Ni Ren’s report, Qianyue nodded slightly： “Well done. You’ve worked hard. Take those disciples to receive some resources and cultivate on your own.”
“Thank you, Elder.” Ni Ren said respectfully, but didn’t immediately retreat, looking hesitant to speak.
“Is there anything else?” Qianyue’s beautiful eyes sized him up, keenly sensing something, and asked with a light opening of her red lips.
“It’s like this, Elder. Something happened during this transaction that made the disciple somewhat concerned.”
“Speak and listen.”
“There was a young man who asked the disciple about the whereabouts of Su Yan. I don’t know where he got the news from, but it seems he knows that Su Yan is in our Ice Sect！”
“He’s looking for Su Yan？” Qianyue’s pretty face turned cold, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed. “What kind of man is he？”
Ni Ren quickly described Yang Kai’s appearance and added： “He’s not very old, but there’s something strange about him. The disciple is incompetent and couldn’t spy on his strength, but he gave me a feeling of oppression.”
“He oppressed you？” Qianyue’s expression was startled. After thinking for a while, she murmured, “Could it be the person the old guy mentioned to the Sect Master before？ Why did he come so quickly？”
When the old guy brought Su Yan to the Ice Sect and handed her over to the Sect Master back then, he once said that one day a young man would come to look for Su Yan. At that time, he asked the Sect Master to let her go without hesitation; otherwise, it was very likely to cause great trouble.
The Sect Master and herself didn’t know that Su Yan’s talent was so outstanding at that time, and naturally agreed angrily. But now, after seeing Su Yan’s intelligence, she really didn’t want to let her leave. As long as she stayed in the Ice Sect, with her talent, she would surely inherit the position of Sect Master and become a leader in one side.
Moreover, what made Qianyue feel most helpless was that now Su Yan had also had a little accident and was not in a state to be seen by others.
That young man must have a very close relationship with Su Yan. If he really saw Su Yan’s current state, no one knew what kind of incident might occur.
Qianyue couldn’t help but rub her forehead, feeling a severe headache, and asked, “Has that man come to the Ice Sect？”
“No.” Ni Ren shook his head. “The disciple thought this matter should be reported to the elder first, so he didn’t tell him the truth.”
“Well, you did a good job.” Qianyue nodded in satisfaction. Just as she was about to praise a few words, suddenly her complexion changed. She released her spiritual sense to check and then snorted coldly, “Ni Ren, Ni Ren, you are really incompetent！ The person followed you to our Ice Sect, and yet you didn’t notice at all？”
“Ah？” Ni Ren was shocked. “No way. I deliberately circled outside for several days and only came back after making sure there was no problem. How could he…”
“Hmph！” Qianyue snorted coldly. “I said he’s here, so of course he’s here. And this kid seems to be very dissatisfied with our Ice Sect. His aura is a bit violent at the moment.”
“Elder, don’t be angry. Disciple will go and drive him away right away!” Ni Ren said hurriedly, with a hint of annoyance on his face.
When he came back, he was already vigilant enough, but still was chased to the doorstep by someone. It really made him lose face a bit.
“Go ahead. Take more people. This kid is not a good person. Just give him a lesson. Absolutely don’t hurt his life.” Qianyue exhorted. After all, there is some relationship with that old guy. If he is really killed, it will be difficult to explain in front of that old guy and the Sect Master.
Because of the accident that happened to Su Yan, the Sect Master has already reprimanded herself once. Qianyue really doesn’t want to be reprimanded again.
Ni Ren readily agreed and bowed to withdraw with an extremely cold expression on his face.
