265: Chapter 38: Dragon Descendants’ Secret Treasure (6K) 265: Chapter 38: Dragon Descendants’ Secret Treasure (6K) Snow swirled wildly, as a dark figure emerged from a snowy cave, sword in hand!
This was a Sword Qi mark left by Xie Xuanyi many years ago.
The great tide of the era had receded.
And surged once again.
That mark of Sword Qi still existed, and it was now emitting a terrifying killing power!
Hiss!
The sleeves of the Qiantian Palace Saint were shredded, and he instinctively took a step back as the thread of Sword Qi struck him, emitting a chime-like crisp sound upon collision with his body.
As the Saint Heir of the Qiantian Palace in this generation.
Yu Wenzhong might not have pursued the Path of Body Refinement, but his physique had also been cultivated to the Golden Body Realm.
If it were any other cultivator with a slightly weaker physique, this thread of Sword Qi would have been enough to severely injure them!
“Go!”
The disciple of Tai Shang House also noticed the extraordinary nature of this Sword Qi.
The Sword Qi was incredibly sharp.
Merely gazing at it directly felt as though it could scorch the eyes!
Fang Hang stepped forward, swinging his large sleeve, and a square golden seal dropped down.
Xie Sheng hesitated no longer, with the sound of a dragon chant above his head, he suppressed it with his Grotto Heaven—
Three Perfect Cave Heaven, all taking action together!
The rumble of thunder rolled!
The wispy Sword Intent, like wild grass in the wind, fluttered up.
A wisp of killing intent left by Xie Xuanyi from all those years ago burst forth, attacking the three young prodigies!
…
…
This scene.
Was seen clearly by Ao Ying, who was hiding miles away.
After killing several human cultivators, Ao Ying concealed her aura, donned a large black robe, and disguised herself as an ordinary Loose Cultivator participating in the Northern Hunt.
Her technique for disguising her aura was exceptionally clever.
Even when she had brushed past Xie Xuanyi earlier, he hadn’t been able to detect it right away.
Moreover, Ao Ying was extremely cautious about her tracks.
She did not speak to anyone, nor did she accompany anyone.
In this Northern Hunt, there were quite a few “lone wolves” who moved alone and hunted Great Demons on their own.
Such Loose Cultivators didn’t attract much attention.
Ao Ying, bit by bit, devoured more than ten Loose Cultivators’ corpses, crushed their souls, and drew all their Primordial Energy, barely managing to recover a portion of her cultivation.
Afterwards.
She turned her attention to the three exceptionally unusual young prodigies.
“These are the disciples of Tai Shang House, Qiantian Palace Saint, and Prince Jiangning…”
Ao Ying stood at a great distance, careful and cautious, extending a wisp of Divine Thought, spying on the distant Snow Mountain.
She had devoured more than one person’s soul.
She had gathered quite a bit of information about the Northern Hunt.
She knew that these three…
were human prodigies just as dangerous as Xie Zhen!
“Why do I feel that these three don’t give me the same sense of danger as Xie Zhen?”
Ao Ying frowned slightly.
Although she trusted her intuition, she didn’t dare to let her guard down at this moment.
When she had previously encountered Xie Zhen.
She hadn’t thought the young man was a dangerous individual.
It wasn’t until he drew his sword.
That she realized something was wrong!
“The human race is indeed the great enemy of the Demon Country…
These few have skills in concealing themselves that are probably not inferior to mine, and that Xie Zhen is even more so.”
Ao Ying’s Divine Thought dared only to linger around the periphery of Snow Mountain.
Tai Shang House and Qiantian Palace had both set up array patterns.
If she investigated carefully,
She would trigger the array patterns, drawing the attention of the three prodigies.
At this moment, she could only “vaguely” see that the three prodigies seemed to be battling something…
and the fight was incredibly fierce.
“Hidden within this Snow Mountain is a Secret Realm.”
Ao Ying took a deep breath, struggling with herself internally.
The pain of tearing and a faint itch at the center of her eyebrows, along with the calling of the now silent Feng Mou, guided her in the darkness…
an indistinct voice led her towards the Snow Mountain.
Even without the Feng Mou.
Ao Ying also sensed the “extraordinariness” of this Snow Mountain.
The aura emitted by the three human prodigies as they attacked the entrance to the Secret Realm…
resonated with her bloodline!
What did that mean?
There was a high probability that within the Snow Mountain lied a Secret Treasure of the Dragon Descendants.
Perhaps it was a Secret Realm left by a Great Practitioner among the Dragon Descendants long ago!
“How should I decide…”
Ao Ying stood amidst the wind and snow, looking troubled.
Now, her strength had only recovered by half, just enough to contend a few moves with a Perfect Cave Heaven cultivator.
Logically speaking.
She should find a hidden place to conceal herself, imitate her previous “Devouring Soul” act…
luring human cultivators to her, one after another, until she fully regained her strength.
But Ao Ying felt uneasy in her heart.
Intuition told her.
If she hid again, she would soon be found…
Either by human prodigies like Xie Zhen,
Or, captured by Prince Jiu of Chi Ling City!
Either scenario would be extremely bad for her.
As she was struggling.
The commotion at the distant Snow Mountain gradually subsided.
The snowstorm, from its wild flurry, became tranquil again.
“Is it over?”
Ao Ying carefully watched that Snow Mountain, the Secret Realm’s array patterns seemed to have been activated, and the figures of the three prodigies looked somewhat ragged from afar.
The three exchanged glances, said something to the disciples behind them,
And the array patterns near the Snow Mountain were “reinforced” once again.
The last image Ao Ying’s Divine Thought saw,
Was the three human prodigies stepping into the Secret Realm, disappearing from sight.
She clenched her teeth.
Her chaotic thoughts at that moment returned to calm.
“I’ll take the risk…
fortune favors the bold!”
Ao Ying’s expression turned stern.
She waited for a moment to confirm that the piece of Snow Mountain returned to tranquility, then began to act.
Ao Ying tugged the brim of her black robe lower to cover her cheeks, soared from the top of the Snow Mountain, moving at an astonishing speed, like a streak of black lightning…
The howling wind marked her path, which was a straight line, and in just a few moments, she arrived in front of the array patterns of Snow Mountain.
The Tai Shang House and Qiantian Palace had jointly set up a concealing array!
Now.
Ao Ying stood before the array, extending her palm to press on the array patterns.
