Regarding why Xu Taiping came to this Bingying Cave, she actually didn’t ask at all.
“If everything goes smoothly, quite a few people in the Xianhu Cave Heaven can avoid dying.”
Xu Taiping nodded.
Because of the instructions from the Nine Mansions, no one except himself could be informed about this matter, so he could only reveal a little to Duan Xiaoyu.
“I understand.”
Hearing this, Duan Xiaoyu suddenly nodded seriously.
“Brother Taiping, don’t worry. I won’t let anyone in.”
As she spoke, she turned around, picked up her saber, and stared intently at the entrance of the Bingying Cave.
……
Inside the cave.
After taking out a luminous pearl for lighting, the scene in the small cave was suddenly and clearly revealed in front of Xu Taiping.
Like other places in the Bingying Cave, this cave was also almost covered with ice crystals, and the cold air was even a few degrees heavier than outside.
After scanning around by the light of the luminous pearl, Xu Taiping finally found what he was looking for – the claw marks on the ice wall.
There were a total of seven such claw marks in the entire cave.
But because each claw mark was very shallow and covered with frost, if one didn’t deliberately search for them knowing in advance, it would be very difficult to find them.
And according to the Sparrow, Xu Taiping had to melt the ice walls in the areas where these claw marks were located in sequence in order to gradually open the eye of the formation in this Ice Crystal Cave.
This was also the reason why Xu Taiping felt it was troublesome.
“Three thousand gold essence coins are still too few.”
While whispering to himself, Xu Taiping quickly walked to the side of the first ice wall to be melted.
He put his hand on the ice surface and converted the true qi condensed in his palm into fire essence and condensed it into a flame.
Although this kind of flame converted from true qi was not as good as true fire, its temperature was much higher than that of ordinary charcoal fire.
So as the flame in Xu Taiping’s palm rose, the layer of ice on the surface of the ice wall was melting at a visible speed.
But after the ice on the surface layer melted, a light cyan rune suddenly emerged on the surface of the ice wall and then the melting speed of the ice wall began to become very slow.
“Sure enough.”
Xu Taiping frowned and retracted his palm.
Just as the Sparrow said in the message order, these ice walls had all been set with rune prohibitions by the Jade Green Layman and had to be slowly melted with true fire.
If you tried to smash it directly, the eye of the formation would self-destruct directly.
Xu Taiping looked around the west side for a circle. After confirming that there was only himself in the cave, he suddenly raised his palm again.
Immediately, a little golden flame began to gather in his palm, and finally, at a visible speed to the naked eye, it turned into a red crow with golden flames rising all over its body.
In this situation, he could only rely on the Red Crow Golden Flame Technique.
The Red Crow Golden Flame Technique did not disappoint him either. Even though the ice surface had a prohibition protection, it still began to melt quickly.
“According to Brother Yellow Sparrow’s inference, to completely melt the ice walls in these seven places, even if using the True Fire Talisman, it would still take the time of burning an incense stick. Now that I am using the Red Crow Golden Flame Technique, I can at least save half an incense stick.”
He secretly deduced in his heart.
Actually, he also carried the True Fire Talisman on him, and originally could have melted the ice walls in these seven areas together, but the problem was that the order of melting of these ice walls was also required, otherwise the array eye would still self-destruct.
“Setting up so many layers of prohibitions, it seems that Layman Yuqing simply didn’t intend for anyone to be able to activate this teleportation array.
He mocked in his heart while stuffing an Qi-increasing Pill into his mouth and continuing to urge the Red Crow Golden Flame to melt the ice wall.
“Half an incense stick of time, with the delay of the Ice Toad and Duan Xiaoyu, it should be no problem, right？”
Xu Taiping looked out of the cave with a worried expression.
……
Outside the cave.
“Goo goo…”
The stomach of Duan Xiaoyu, who was sitting cross-legged on a floating ice, suddenly let out a series of goo goo sounds.
Immediately, she skillfully took out a piece of dried meat from the ring. While continuing to look up at the entrance of the ice cave, she bit the dried meat with her teeth.
The side effect of her eating that spiritual herb was that she would feel hungry anytime and anywhere, even though she was already at the peak of the Wangyou Realm.
However, when she thought of the roasted wild boar she had eaten before, the dry dried meat in her hand suddenly lost its flavor.
“Sigh…”
She let out a sigh and stood up, holding the Vermilion Bird Saber.
“Boom！”
Just at this moment, a sound of explosion suddenly rang out at the entrance of the cave. Immediately afterwards, the ice cave shook for a while.
“Qing Yu, you bastard, let me in too！”
A furious roar came from outside the cave.
However, as the stones at the entrance of the cave kept falling, completely blocking the passage at the entrance of the ice cave, the sound outside the cave disappeared followed .
Duan Xiaoyu, who had already been alerted, stuffed all the dried meat in her hand into her mouth. At the same time, she stepped on the floating ice and flew out, hiding in one of the small caves.
“Sure enough, you guys are inside.”
Just at this moment, a cold voice came from the direction of the cave entrance.
Then, by the fluorescence emitted by the ice crystals in the cave, Duan Xiaoyu saw that at the entrance of the cave, a huge water mass was gradually converging into a human shape.
Who else could it be but Qing Yu of Huangfeng Valley？
Actually, before coming to Xianhu Cave Heaven, Duan Xiaoyu had heard of Qing Yu’s name.
After all, Huangfeng Valley is the third-ranked sect among the Nine Mansions, and the new genius young person in their sect would naturally attract the attention of other sects.
The only thing that made Duan Xiaoyu very puzzled was that with such qualifications why did Qing Yu still follow Jiu You to become a demon cultivator.
Don’t think that just because you hide in the cave, I won’t be able to find you.
Qing Yu’s voice sounded again.
His powerful atmosphere fluctuates then swept through the entire ice-crystal cave, and at the same time One by one water lines began to fly out from his palm like spider silk, and then flew towards more than a dozen small caves below the ice-crystal cave at an extremely fast speed.
Although Duan Xiaoyu didn’t know what this method was she had a vague premonition that if these water lines were allowed to enter those small caves, Xu Taiping’s traces would surely be discovered.
Duan Xiaoyu, a person should keep his promise！
Remembering her previous promise to Xu Taiping, Duan Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and flew out of the cave with the Vermilion Bird Saber in her hand.
“Shua！” Almost the moment Duan Xiaoyu flew out of the cave, Qing Yu’s long knife, carrying the claw shadow transformed by the saber energy, struck Duan Xiaoyu’s body with the first strike.
“Peng！” Although at the critical moment, Duan Xiaoyu blocked this knife with the Vermilion Bird, her body was still hit by the impact force on Qing Yu’s long knife and smashed into the ice pool.
“Hong！” But even if she fell into the ice pool, Qing Yu’s knife still followed like a shadow. While the saber energy cut through the water surface, the blade tip slashed towards Duan Xiaoyu’s chest.
However, at this time, Duan Xiaoyu instead calmed down.
