On the streets of the city lord’s domain, Lin Feng walked with his head down, chanting “Amitabha” when he met people.
At this moment, the entire Cold Realm City was surrounded by countless ghosts.
Surprisingly, however, it seemed that the ghosts had no intention of attacking the city and were just quietly waiting, though it was unclear what they were waiting for.
“Alas…”
Lin Feng sighed deeply.
He really felt like crying.
He just couldn’t understand. How could he, a Son of Destiny, have fallen to such a state?
He had come to Cold Realm City this time hoping to seize opportunities in the Mysterious Ice Realm and then step on the shoulders of the proud sons of heaven to become famous in the Central Domain.
But now… if his identity were exposed at this moment, he would indeed become ‘famous in the Central Domain’…
Only it would be famous as a laughingstock!Worse still, he might end up losing his life here.
At this moment, all Lin Feng wanted was to leave this place as soon as possible and then hide well in the Ancient Pill Tower.
There were too many lunatics outside. He really couldn’t handle it!
But now with the city besieged by ghosts, even if he grew wings, he couldn’t fly out.
“Alas!” Lin Feng sighed again.
“It’s okay, the entrance to the Mysterious Ice Realm is in Cold Realm City, but the exit is in another city. The secret realm is about to open, so you can use this opportunity to escape,” consoled Old Man Tianji.
Lin Feng nodded and continued walking.
“Monk, have you seen Jiang Chen?”
As he walked, a pleasant voice rang out beside him.
This instantly scared Lin Feng out of his wits.
“I don’t know, I’ve never seen him,” he said without lifting his head, quickly waving his hand.
“Really?” the person asked again.
“Of course, a monk does not speak lies…”
“Oh, then you can go die.”
“!!!”
Hearing this, Lin Feng jumped in shock.
What kind of divine conversation was this?
Not knowing Jiang Chen’s whereabouts meant death?
He wasn’t even acquainted with Jiang Chen!
And just as Lin Feng was in disbelief, the person actually made a move.
A sword thrust came at him immediately.
It was only then that Lin Feng saw clearly that the person who had spoken was a woman dressed in a black dress with stunning features.
‘Indeed, women, especially beautiful ones, are all lunatics!’ Lin Feng cried out in his heart while hurriedly dodging.
He wanted to fight back, but he was afraid of revealing his identity.
Helplessly, he could only quietly activate one of his technique and quickly flee.
Watching his retreating figure, the woman frowned, “That monk is disgusting, wandering around in underpants. Looks like I need to wash my eyes.”
“Hey, do you know where Jiang Chen is?” Turning her gaze away, the woman asked nearby guard.
“…Jiang Chen?”
The guard was instantly stunned.
After seeing the woman’s face clearly, the guard actually started sobbing, “This time, you must find happiness…”
“???”
The girl had a face full of question marks.
She was none other than Nangong Jiuxi.
Ever since she arrived in Cold Realm City, Nangong Jiuxi had been searching for Jiang Chen.
What she didn’t expect was that the cultivators and guards of Cold Realm City seemed to have mostly gone mad.
No matter how she inquired about Jiang Chen’s whereabouts, the answers she received were unfathomably mysterious.
After much difficulty, she encountered someone sane, but it turned out to be a monk wearing only underpants!
Thinking of that monk made Nangong Jiuxi frown again.
Beyond feeling disgusted, she always felt that she was naturally opposed to that monk as if they were destined to be enemies in a life-or-death struggle.
Suddenly, her master Chen Shi arrived.
“Jiuxi, with a myriad of ghosts attacking the city, how can you run around carelessly?” Chen Shi said with a helpless expression, massaging his forehead.
“Master, I need to find Jiang Chen,” Nangong Jiuxi replied.
“Ah… Jiuxi, I’ve told you many times,” Chen Shi sighed.
“If you can’t find him, perhaps it’s because you’re not fated to him.”
“…”
Nangong Jiuxi fell silent.
Not fated?
She didn’t believe it. Since the first time she heard his name and heard of Jiang Chen’s deeds, she had felt an inexplicable sensation.
It was a strange feeling like palpitations, but also like anticipation.
She had never seen Jiang Chen, but she would laugh heartily at the bad things he did.
She didn’t understand Jiang Chen, but just hearing his name would make the corners of her mouth involuntarily rise.
She always felt that there was a red thread of fate connecting her and Jiang Chen.
She didn’t care about Jiang Chen’s appearance, nor about his actions.
All she knew was that she wanted to meet this man.
Because just his name, whom she had never met, could easily stir her heartstrings.
Looking up at the sky, Nangong Jiuxi placed her white wrist behind her back.
With a smile playing on her lips and a glint in her beautiful eyes, she spoke with anticipation, “Master, I have a feeling that I might…”
“…perhaps be born for him.”
“…”
Hearing this, Chen Shi was at a loss for words.
He felt that Nangong Jiuxi had been influenced by the madmen, as they often spoke mysterious words.
For example, to live for someone or to die for someone…
Chen Shi shook his head, his gaze growing more somber.
Once, the Chen family, whether in the Myriad Dao Demon Sect or the Central Domain, had a formidable reputation.
However, everything had changed ever since Chen Sheng became Jiang Chen’s protector.
Jiang Chen’s infamy spread far and wide, and the Jiang family’s influence pressed down on the upper, middle, and lower domains.
The righteous cultivators said,
“The Chen family of the Central Domain is nothing but a dog of the Jiang family.”
The demonic cultivators said,
“We cultivators should learn from the shamelessness of the Chen family, who would do anything to cling to power.”
The Myriad Dao Demon Sect said,
“Although the Jiang family owes Chen Sheng a life-saving debt, Chen Sheng, once one of our three ancestors, has now become a protector for outsiders, cutting off ties with the Myriad Dao Demon Sect, a betrayal of our lineage.”
Under such rumors and gossip, the Chen family could no longer hold their heads high!
Chen Shi felt a bitter anger but could not vent it.
Due to the sect master’s order forbidding him from harboring resentment against the Jiang family, he could not afford to provoke the Jiang family!
He had thought that after taking Nangong Jiuxi as his disciple, this exceptionally talented student would restore honor to him and the Chen family.
But who knew that Nangong Jiuxi would also be enchanted by Jiang Chen!
The more he thought about it, the angrier Chen Shi became, clenching his fists until they cracked.
“Boom!”
Just as he was about to say something, a deafening roar came from behind Cold Realm City.
At that moment, all the guards and cultivators in Cold Realm City turned their eyes towards a towering snow mountain in the deepest part of the city.
The snow at the peak of the mountain collapsed, instantly scattering snow dust everywhere.
The snow rolled down like a turbulent sea, sweeping all around.
The city lord Meng Hong suddenly appeared.
With a flick of his sleeve, the snowstorm ceased.
With a second flick, a cold jade seal flew out from his body and eventually hung in the sky above the snow mountain, emitting a bright green light.
Beneath the light, the snow mountain trembled, and the earth roared.
Then, as the snowblocks collapsed, a jade archway, as tall as the mountain and carved with various rare and auspicious beasts, gradually came into view.
“Creak—”
Influenced by the green light, the archway slowly opened.
Even with just a sliver of a gap, the spiritual energy that leaked out made all the cultivators feel refreshed.
When the archway fully opened, what appeared before everyone was an ancient jade staircase, dozens of feet wide, smooth and translucent, with a lush green interior.
At this moment, the Mysterious Ice Realm had opened!
“Will Jiang Chen go there?”
Staring at the majestic jade staircase, Nangong Jiuxi murmured to herself.
