Lin Mo now represents not only himself but the entire Huaxia Martial Arts World. If he were to fall, the Martial Arts World would have no hope of standing against the Heavenly Sect. Once all the people from the Heavenly Sect come out, the Martial Arts World would have no footing.
"Everyone need not worry so much. Lord Lin Tanyu will not disappoint me," someone suddenly said.
People saw his ID, which was July's Son.
July is now the youngest Martial Master of Vigorous Strength in Huaxia, aside from Lin Mo. Moreover, there were rumors that he was Lin Mo's half-disciple. His entry into the ranks of the Vigorous Martial Masters was aided by Lin Mo.
"Yes, Lord Lin Tanyu has never let us down. Even if the people from the Heavenly Sect come, Lord Lin Tanyu will surely send them packing," a fanatical fan of Lord Lin Tanyu said.
With July speaking up, a group of people also firmed up their confidence.
Since his debut, Lin Tanyu had topped the Qingyun List as the Strongest King, and he even crossed the ocean to make the entire Japan submit, as well as slaying the Second Generation Sword Saint from the Han Country. He had created miracles time and time again, and had long become the faith in the hearts of many Martial Artists.
...
The vast snow mountains, the sky filled with snow and wind.
A group of explorers had set up camp midway up the mountain, a few men and women dressed in mountaineering gear gathered behind a huge rock, taking shelter from the vicious blizzard.
"Senior Sister Li, how much longer will this blizzard last? Our food supply is running low," a young man with a red-frozen face said, placing his hands over the fire to soak up the warmth.
"I've already told you, if you can't endure hardship, then don't follow us out here. This geological expedition isn't even over yet," Li Yunfei said with furrowed brows, somewhat helplessly.
The group consisted of five people: two young women, two young men, and an old man who looked like a professor.
They were all students from the Hainan University of Science and Technology studying geological exploration. They came to Kunlun Mountain to survey the ore for research but didn't expect to encounter a blizzard on the third day upon arrival, thus, unable to advance, they could only set up camp here to rest.
"Yunfei, I brought some chocolate with me. It can help replenish heat, all high-level truffles from France," another young man said, opening his backpack and taking out a box of exquisitely packaged chocolate.
"Gu Yangming, how many times have I told you? We're here to survey for research, not to travel. You're a rich kid who can't handle this hardship, so don't bother coming along," Li Yunfei's tone was somewhat cold, clearly not too fond of this young man.
The youth named Gu Yangming seemed to be aware of her character and didn't get angry; instead, he laughed and said, "Yunfei, I was just worried about your health, getting too cold. That's why I brought some chocolate specifically, as I heard it can help replenish heat."
"Senior Sister Li, Mr. Gu is just looking out for you," the red-faced Bai Xiaodong said with a smile.
Li Yunfei frowned, ready to speak, when she suddenly raised her head instinctively and then froze.
"What, what is that?"
Everyone raised their heads at her words and saw several streaks of light flashing across the sky, flying above, barely making out the vague figures of people.
About Kunlun, there were countless mysterious legends left in Huaxia, rumors that it was where The Queen Mother of the West resided, inhabited by Immortals. Could it be that they had really encountered Immortals?
Li Yunfei, Gu Yangming, Bai Xiaodong, and another woman named Xiao Jie all wore blank expressions, watching the fleeting lights in the sky.
"What is that, Professor Zhou?" Li Yunfei asked immediately, turning her gaze to the aged professor.
Professor Zhou frowned deeply, his expression grave, seemingly aware of something about Kunlun Mountain, "That place is called Wufeng Cliff. Many explorers and mountain climbing enthusiasts have perished there, which is why it's also a forbidden area of Great Snow Mountain."
Everyone was confused, for they had just seen people flying, not wanting to know about Wufeng Cliff. Professor Zhou continued, "I've looked through many records before. Originally, there were no cliffs in that area of Great Snow Mountain. It's impossible for such a significant geological change to occur in a few hundred years. So, I and a research team used a drone to scout the area, and then a 'Fairy' suddenly appeared and slashed down the drone."
Hearing the secrets Professor Zhou mentioned, the crowd was even more incredulous. They were students from reputable universities, educated with high-level science, where the idea of Immortals and spirits was all superstition. But now, seeing with their own eyes and hearing with their own ears, it directly overturned their worldview.
"Let's rest a bit, and once the snowstorm lessens, we'll leave this place," Professor Zhou said with some concern.
"Aren't we going to take a look?" Li Yunfei asked cautiously.
Professor Zhou shook his head, "We can't go." The streaks of light in the sky flew several kilometers away in an instant, vanishing from sight.
"Great Palace Master, we should be approaching Miao Xue Divine Palace soon, right?"
The individuals who had flown over the heads of Li Yunfei and the others were now standing in mid-air, each enshrouded in a layer of Gang Wind, warding off the cold and the snowstorm.
These people were Qing Xuan, Miao Xin, Elder Qiu, Elder Yuan, the Great Palace Master, Wu Yue, Yao Lei, and Ouyang Xinghe, among others.
"Yes, Miao Xue Divine Palace is ahead. However, the Mountain Protection Array Formation has already been destroyed by Lin Tanyu." The Great Palace Master thought of Lin Tanyu and clenched his fists tightly in anger.
"Miao Xue asked, "Lin Tanyu, is he still in Miao Xue Divine Palace? Is he aware that we're coming and waiting for us on purpose?" As she spoke, she waved her sleeve through the void, and suddenly a huge mirror formed of water ripples presented itself before everyone.
However, when the image on the mirror appeared, everyone was stunned.
In the dwelling grounds of Miao Xue Divine Palace, Lin Mo was sitting cross-legged amidst a green bamboo grove, appearing to be practicing some Cultivation Technique.
What was astonishing, though, was that the surrounding Spiritual Energy formed into hurricanes, continuously converging into his body. Lin Mo seemed like a bottomless pit, ceaselessly devouring the Spiritual Energy within Miao Xue Divine Palace.
Whether it was the Spirit Veins underground or the plants grown within the Miao Xue Divine Palace, the flowers and grass quickly withered, and the Spiritual Medicines planted in the Medicine Shop were also being absorbed continuously. The scenery of Miao Xue Divine Palace was like the transition from spring to autumn, giving off a desolate feeling.
"What Cultivation Technique is that devil practicing? How can it be so powerful?" Elder Yuan's eyes widened in shock, his face revealing amazement, but a trace of greed flashed deep within his astonished gaze.
Not just him, the Great Palace Master, Elder Qiu, and the others also had an intense greed lurking deep within their eyes.
