Chapter 2932
byHelp… help me! Unable to break free from Zhu Lie’s restraint, Li Jiao felt as if his neck was about to be crushed. The cold killing intent in Zhu Lie’s eyes made his courage and liver split. He could only turn his head sideways and call for help from Yang Kai.”
Since the two of them came together, Yang Kai’s words must carry some weight.
Yang Kai, however, shrugged and said, “Sorry, Brother Li. There’s nothing I can do about this.”
Li Jiao made a hoarse sound in his throat and could no longer utter a word. A group of elders from Li Long Palace were even more was extremely anxious. Watching their own palace master being humiliated like this, they were in an extremely embarrassing situation, not knowing whether to go up or not.
“Forgot to tell you, this Dragon Race member is Zhu Qing’s younger brother and also comes from Dragon Island. Zhu Qing, you still remember, right？ That female dragon who went to that place. Speaking of which, Brother Li is also very much to blame for this matter.” Yang Kai leisurely let out a sigh. “Zhu Qing went to that place and has not returned yet. It seems that she has encountered some danger, and then her younger brother came out from Dragon Island, wanting to save his older sister. Tsk tsk, the deep affection between siblings is really touching. But he learned that this matter was caused by you, so his impression of Brother Li is not too good…”
Li Jiao’s eyeballs almost rolled over, leaving only a piece of white.
“Oh right.” Yang Kai continued to add fuel to the fire and said, “This brother seems to look down on those with impure bloodlines. He kills one when he sees one, and kills a pair when he sees two. I did mention Brother Li’s situation to him before, but I don’t know if he listened. All in all, this is a matter between Dragon Island and your Li Long Palace. I, an outsider, really shouldn’t interfere.”
It was only at this moment that Li Jiao understood what the crisis in Yang Kai’s mouth meant.
This was indeed a big crisis. He racked his brains and couldn’t figure out how a Dragon Race member, whom ordinary people rarely saw, would appear in front of him every now and then, and all were related to this Ling Xiao Palace master.
He now increasingly felt that there was the shadow of Dragon Island behind Ling Xiao Palace. In the current situation, even if this Dragon Race member really killed him, he had no place to reason, let alone count on his subordinates to avenge him.
He wanted to speak, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t utter a single word. In desperation, he could only raise one hand and hold up three fingers, shaking them continuously.
“Brother Li, what do you mean by this？ I don’t understand this gesture.” Yang Kai had a blank look on his face.
Li Jiao continued to shake his fingers.
Yang Kai ignored him.
The three fingers turned into two, and finally into one.
Only then did Yang Kai say, “I kind of understand. Since Brother Li is so sincere, I think it’s not impossible to discuss.” He turned to look at Zhu Lie and said, “Let the man go first. If you really kill him, don’t expect to find your sister.”
Zhu Lie snorted coldly and threw Li Jiao out like a rag bag.
With a boom, Li Jiao fell heavily to the side, rolled several times before stabilizing his figures, and hurriedly got up coughing violently.
It was not easy to stabilize himself, but he didn’t even have the courage to look at Zhu Lie. His eyes were dodgy and he was extremely afraid. If any other Third-Order Emperor Senior Stage cultivator was here, he wouldn’t have behaved so badly. But facing a pure-blooded Dragon Clan, he couldn’t generate any thoughts of resistance or resentment in his bones. He just felt that he was inferior in every way and deserved to be treated like this.
“Brother Li, time waits for no one. We have to set off now.” Yang Kai looked at Li Jiao and said.
Li Jiao nodded feebly.
Yang Kai laughed and said, “Don’t look so wronged. It’s not like I’m really going to take your life. I just want you to show the way. Besides, you didn’t suffer a loss either. This Palace Master can give you one more year to repay the debt.”
Li Jiao’s mouth twitched continuously, and he regretted it to the core. If he had known that Yang Kai brought a Dragon Clan member with him, he would have agreed to whatever the other party said. He wouldn’t have bargained with him. Now it was good. The original three-year deadline had become one year, and it was even his own request.
Li Jiao turned around and ordered the many Emperor Senior Stage cultivators, “Please take care of the palace. Li will go and come back soon.”
The elders nodded repeatedly and looked at Li Jiao with full of sympathy. They also knew Li Jiao’s situation and knew that he was not a coward. It was just that he had encountered his nemesis and really had no choice.
Not daring to stay any longer, Li Jiao urged Yang Kai to set off quickly.
The Flowing Cloud Shuttle was sacrificed, and the three of them entered it and turned into a stream of light rushing towards the north.
Among the four regions of the Star Boundary, each region has dangerous situations and forbidden areas.
In the Southern Region, there is the Southern Marsh. In the Eastern Region, there is the Barbaric Wilderness. In the Western Region, there is the Western Desert. In the Northern Region, there is the Frozen Soil. These are just the most famous places. There are countless other large and small dangerous situations.
But if we talk about the degree of danger and the probability of death, if the Frozen Soil in the Northern Region ranks second, there is no other place that can rank first.
The name of the Frozen Soil is recognized throughout the Star Boundary as the most dangerous place. It is a forbidden area of life that even Great Emperors dare not easily enter. In other places, such as the Southern Marsh and the Barbaric Lands, there is still some hidden vitality. Although extremely dangerous, there are also many opportunities hidden within. However, in the Frozen Soil, there is only death and ice-cold, and nothing else.
No one knows what the Frozen Soil looks like inside because all the people who went in died.
Li Jiao was able to escape from the Frozen Soil by chance. One reason is that he was lucky, and the other reason is that he didn’t go too deep. The place he went to back then was just on the edge of the Frozen Soil.
That was still a few hundred years ago. In that year, Li Jiao had just been promoted to the Third-Order Emperor Venerable. For a while, he was high-spirited and flamboyant, feeling that there was no place in the world that he couldn’t go.
On a whim, he went to the Frozen Soil once.
That trip was a narrow escape. After that trip, Li Jiao swore that he would never go to the Frozen Soil again in his life. That Dragon Blood Flower was brought back to the Li Long Palace by Li Jiao at that time.
Unexpectedly, after several hundred years, he actually had to go there again.
Even though the time was long, Li Jiao still had a fresh memory of that experience. Along the way, he revealed a lot of information about the Frozen Soil to Yang Kai and Zhu Lie. Although not much, it was still somewhat useful.
According to Li Jiao, the biggest feature of the Frozen Soil is the cold. That kind of cold is not the cold in the general sense, but the cold that extinguishes all vitality, a kind of cold that can’t be described or resisted at all.
That damned place seems to have a natural restraint on life. Any existence with vitality can’t survive there for a long time.
This intelligence was quickly verified.
The more north the Flowing Cloud Shuttle flew, the colder the outside environment became. As far as the eye could see, it was a vast expanse of white, making it impossible to tell the east from the west and the south from the north.
The goose-feather-like snowflakes were constantly floating in the sky. The whole world seemed to be frozen, and apart from white, not a single other color could be seen at all.
Although they were hiding inside the Flowing Cloud Shuttle, the three of them could still feel a hint of coldness. Although it was weak, it was also extremely uncommon.
Although the Flowing Cloud Shuttle was a flying secret treasure, it was after all an Emperor Treasure, and it was also made by Hou Yu, with many defensive functions attached. That such an Emperor Treasure couldn’t resist the erosion of the severe cold, one could imagine how harsh the outside environment was.
Li Jiao’s complexion was getting uglier and uglier. If it wasn’t for Zhu Lie’s deterrence beside him, I’m afraid he would have already regretted it and fled back.
Ten days after departing from the Li Palace, the three of them barely managed to reach the edge of the Frozen Soil.
Li Jiao had a fresh memory of the location where he had found the Dragon Blood Flower back then, so he had been guiding the direction all along.
Another two days later, Li Jiao suddenly said excitedly, “Over there, over there. See that Three-Finger Mountain？ Right there. That’s where I found the Dragon Blood Flower back then.”
Yang Kai looked at Zhu Lie, and Zhu Lie slightly furrowed his brows and slowly shook his head.
He and Zhu Qing were siblings, and both were Red Dragons. There was more or less some sense between them. If Zhu Qing was still over there, he would definitely be able to sense it.
But at this moment, he couldn’t feel anysmell belonging to Zhu Qing.
However, no matter what, Yang Kai still controlled the Cloud Drifting Shuttle and flew towards the Three-Finger Mountain. There was a mountain pass between the peaks, and the Cloud Drifting Shuttle slowly landed. The three of them walked out one by one.
Just as they left the protection of the Cloud Drifting Shuttle, the cold that penetrated deep into the bone marrow and the depths of the soul rushed over from all directions, making the three of them couldn’t help but shiver and urge their Emperor Yuan to resist.
This was just the edge of the Frozen Ground, and it was already so cold. Ordinary Emperor Senior 1 Realm martial artists probably wouldn’t be able to hold on for long here. It was really hard to imagine what the situation was like inside the Frozen Ground.
Zhu Lie’s Dragon Breath seemed to have some restraining effect on this Yin Cold. Seeing this, Li Jiao couldn’t help but lean closer to him, but was met with Zhu Lie’s cold gaze. He couldn’t help but smile awkwardly and backed away two steps.
Yang Kai’s Divine Sense swept out, covering a radius of a hundred miles.It took a long time for him to retrieve it and he couldn’t help but shiver.
In that short time just now, he felt that his Divine Sense was almost frozen stiff. If he didn’t take it back, I’m afraid it would have been damaged.
“The place you pointed out to Zhu Qing that day is definitely here？” Yang Kai turned his head and looked at Li Jiao and asked.
Li Jiao quickly said, “There is no doubt about it. I remember this place. Unless there is another place in the Frozen Ground that is exactly the same as this place.”
The Three-Finger Mountain is a very good landmark. Although hundreds of years have passed, Li Jiao’s memory will not be wrong.
While speaking, he beckoned and said, “I remember that the Dragon Blood Flower was found in this direction back then.”
Yang Kai and Zhu Lie stepped forward to follow. Not long after, Li Jiao stopped at a certain place, Youdaoplaceholder0 up at the position of the Three-Finger Mountain and silently calculated and verified for a long time before solemnly nodding and saying, “This is the place. There is absolutely no mistake.”
Zhu Lie also said, “I feel a very weak Dragon Breath.”
As he spoke, he raised his hand, and a flame spurted out from the palm of his hand, turning into a lifelike Fire Dragon that crashed into the snow on the ground.
The scorching flame melted the snow, and a gully more than ten zhang deep quickly appeared on the ground, revealing the soil buried under the snow.
That soil was frozen hard, even stronger than steel, but on the soil, there was a very obvious mark, like a huge claw print.
Li Jiao said excitedly, “Look, I’m right. This is the place where the giant dragon fell.”
That huge claw print was obviously left by the giant dragon’s claw. Even after hundreds of years, under the cover of the snow, it was still well preserved.
