Chapter 506 – Ambushing
This stone platform was intertwined with the ice beneath his feet. Yang Junshan originally thought that it would be an ordinary layer of ice as well, but when he thought about how even a few special jade bottles were unable to withstand the cold energy of the thousand-year Ice Silkworm, the fact that this ice platform could serve as the resting place of the Ice Silkworm was evidently not ordinary either.
After a closer look, Yang Junshan realized that although this ice platform was sparkling and translucent, it was not ice in itself, but ratheype of stone, and from the looks of it, it seemed to be ice stone.
Moreover, to be able to be the habitat of a thousand-year-old ice silkworm, if it was a ice silkworm from the very beginning, wouldn’t that mean that the ice rock had already been nurtured by the cold source energy that the ice silkworm had condensed fohousand years?
However, no matter how good the heavenly materials were, they would not be able to compare to the thousand-year-old ice silkworm. Yang Junshan unhesitatingly slapped his palm on the three-foot-tall ice rock, and under his exquisite control, without damaging the other parts of the stone platform, the clematis slashed down with two fist-sized ice rocks.
Although Yang Junshan was not good at carving, but it was noroblem to make a stone bottle roughly. However, after making the stone bottle, the Icy Jade Silkworm at the mouth of the bottle refused to go in.
Yang Junshan knew what this fellow wanted, so he threw one of the four Thousand Year Snow Lotus Seeds into the bottle. The little guy stuck his head into the stone bottle, as if he was still unsatisfied.
Helplessly, Yang Junshan threw another lotus seed into the bottle. This little guy finally reached into the bottle hesitantly, causing Yang Junshan to become angry, and this time, he knew he had to push himself even further, he extended a finger out and flicked the ice silkworm’s body, which caused the little guy to immediately roll into the stone bottle. casually placed a seal in the air, not allowing the cold air in the bottle to spread.
After putting away the Frozen Silkworm, he had acquired five balls of thousand-year Ice Silkworm Silk. Adding this piece of heavy thousand-year Frozen Ice Stone, Yang Junshan’s trip to the Frozen Snow Region could be said to have been a great one.
However, after digging out the layer of ice beneath his feet, he discovered that the layer of ice within the cave seemed to have become much softer. Yang Junshan raised his head to look at the ice walls of the cave, and discovered that the ice within the cave had actually showed signs of melting.
Not good, the edge of the Snowy Icecap that was disappearing was probably close to here. Once the ice in the cave melted, the cave might collapse from the immersion of the mud water.
A moment later, he arrived outside the cave. Looking back, he saw that the snow line from the Snow Region of Ice and Snow had already reached the bottom of the hill where the cave of ice was located. It seemed like they were going to continue shrinking back to leave the area covered by the Snow Region of Domain.
But just as Yang Junshan was about to control the light to leave, from several hundred meters away, two light beams from the back and one from the back suddenly flew out, quickly flying towards Yang Junshan’s direction.
Yang Junshan could clearly see that the cultivator facing him was none other than the true disciple of the Snow Wind Sword Sect, Qi Min. How could he be here?
Yang Junshan’s heart sank, if he was here, then the person who was approaching him must be the other Snow Wind Sword Sect’s successor, Zhang Mo Feng. It was obvious that Zhang Mo Feng had already found out about the Spirit Magnetic Mountain from Qi Min, and Qi Min had also found out Yang Junshan’s whereabouts from Zhang Mo Feng.
Yang Junshan had thought that with his own strength, especially after the Ice Crystal Jade Spring refined and refined the True Divine Spirit inside his body, he was confident in fighting Qi Min, but if there was the addition of Zhang Mo Feng, he was afraid that he would not be his match.
Furthermore, this place was the Liang Zhou, which held an extraordinary influence here. If Yang Junshan wanted to go to the extreme north, he had to shake off their tracking as soon as possible, otherwise, not only would he not be able to get his hands on the primary magnetic force, he would lose his family’s life as well.
Yang Junshan instantly made a decision, turned around, and once again drilled into the hole that was about to start melting.
At this time, the two of them were already closing in on the entrance of the ice cave. The moment Yang Junshan stepped into the ice cave, he stomped his feet and the ice walls around the cave began to collapse, sealing the cave.
“There’oad to heaven that you won’t take. If you hide in a cave and store rats, I’ll grant you that wish!”
Zhang Mo Feng bellowed, his entire person plummeting down from the sky, Qi Min who was at the opposite side saw the situation and immediately shouted: “Don’t, that is useless!”
However, it was already too late. Zhang Mo Feng plummeted down like a meteor. With a dull thud, the entire hill started to shake, showing a ravine where the ice cave had caved in. Soon after, the entire hill started to crumble.
Seeing Zhang Mo Feng looking at him with a questioning look, Qi Min was upset: “Blame me for not explaining clearly to you junior brother, the reason Yang Junshan cultivated the Earth Escape Technique and escaped back to the cave is to escape, the mountains will collapse and the earth will collapse, so we won’t be able to harm him!”
Zhang Mo Feng asked, “Senior Qi, is this person really the killer of Senior Brother Yue?”
Qi Min paused for a moment, and said: “Although I did not personally see it, this person is definitely the murderer, even if he is not the main culprit, he is definitely still an accomplice!”
Zhang Mo Feng glanced at him and said: “Since senior says it is, then it is naturally because no one can kill the disciples of my Snow Wind Sword Sect without paying the price. It is just that this person’s strength is not ordinary, and he had previously purified his cultivation through the Icy Core Qi inside the Ice Crystal Jade Spring, so his strength must have risen by another level.
Zhang Mo Feng told Qi Min about the power Yang Junshan had displayed in the Ice Crystal Jade Spring Valley. Even though Qi Min had fought with Yang Junshan before, he revealed a look of astonishment: “Seems like he had hidden himself quite deeply, his strength is far beyond what he revealed on the surface. I have underestimated him, thank you Junior Brother for your reminder!”
Zhang Mo Feng expressionlessly nodded his head and asked, “This person actually has a life-saving sacred art like the Earth Escape Technique. Now that he has lost track of him, what should we do now, senior brother?”
Qi Min laughed complacently, and said: “Previously, when I fought with this person, I had secretly used a secret technique to catch up with him and chased him all the way to the Yuzhou’s Liangyu Mountain Range using the snow gulls. I thought that once he entered the Liangyu Mountain Range, I would stop chasing him, but who would have thought that he would actually come to the Liang Zhou, and that he would be courting death!”
After he finished speaking, Qi Min flung out his sleeve and a snow-white little bird flew out and circled around him twice before landing on Qi Min’s shoulder and chirping away.
Qi Min seemed to be able to use a secret technique to communicate with this little bird. After looking at the path the little bird had taken, he laughed: “This person is indeed clever, after being chased by people, he would usually head towards a familiar place. Not only did he not head south to return to the Yuzhou, he even went towards the northwest direction!”
“It’ity that he doesn’t know that his whereabouts are already under the control of the snow gulls. It’s also a pity that I didn’t know that he had arrived at Liang Zhou. Otherwise, I would have used the snow gulls to track his whereabouts and wouldn’t have let him escape in the snow domain!”
Zhang Mo Feng nodded his head and said, “Since we know his trail, we will chase after him. We will head northwest and reach the border of Bing County after we leave the county. That is our Snow Wind Sword Sect’s territory. If he goes head on in, we will definitely make sure he does not return!”
Qi Min laughed coldly, “He still wants to run into the Ice County. Hmph, with the Snow Gull here, you and I together can capture him within the Pure County!”
As soon as Qi Min finished speaking, he had already activated Escape, but right at this time, in a deep pit formed by the collapse of the hill, a dense ice cold Qi suddenly surged out, almost freezing Qi Min’s Escape Light into a ball of ice.
“Essence cold energy! This is the aura of the Frost Stone!”
Qi Min let out a strange cry, and without bothering to chase after Yang Junshan’s tracks, he jumped down from the light shield, with his two hands grabbing onto the collapsed pit from left and right, the silt on the ground all started to surge towards the two sides of the pit, and the scene inside the pit immediately appeared in front of him.
Zhang Mo Feng frowned as he looked at everything before him, and muttered: “This should be an ice cave with a source of frost, which is indeed possible to breed high grade spirit materials like thousand-year-old ice stones. I heard that Senior Brother Qi Min wanted to raise his Snow Wind Sword to upper grade spirit rank or even higher, but now he’s missing a thousand-year-old ice stone?”
Qi Min did not answer Zhang Mo Feng’s question and directly jumped into the deep pit, pushing away the melted frozen soil and ice shards, and finally picking out a few pieces of crystal clear broken rocks.
“This is an ice stone, and it’housand year old ice stone as well. These fragments have been shattered not long ago, and there’s no doubt that a thousand year old ice stone was taken away by Yang Junshan. This person must die, and the ice stone must be taken back!”
Although the Thousand Year Freezing Stone was able to raise his Intrinsic Flying Sword tigh-grade Spirit Ranked Equipment, in reality, his eyes were not limited to that. With the Thousand Year Freezing Stone as his base, his Intrinsic Flying Sword would only be able to be upgraded to a high-grade Spirit Ranked flying sword as a transition point. His real goal was to raise his Intrinsic Flying Sword to a Treasured Artifact.
All of his plans were short of the last thousand-year-old ice stone!
Dozens of kilometers away, behind a small hill, Yang Junshan, witead full of mud, crawled out from underground and fiercely spat out two mouthfuls of mud.
Although he had the Earth Escape Technique to escape, Zhang Mo Feng’s sacred art had destroyed the entire hill, and at that time, even though Yang Junshan had escaped underground, he was still affected, the mud on the ground surging under the sacred art, causing him to be in a very sorry state.
Although he had temporarily escaped from the two people’s ambush, Yang Junshan did not dare to stay here for long. Relying on his body’s immunity to the miasma, he identified his direction and flew straight to the thickest miasma cloud in the sky, flying all the way out of the Coldjade mountain range.
