...

“So... Hao’er influence on Mu’er is so strong.” Nangong Tian seemed like he was in a dielemma, as if he couldn’t bear to see Nangong Mu in that snow-white armor. However, it was soon replaced by a determined look in his eyes.

Meanwhile, in Heaven Dao Pavilion’s faction, Mu Qingfeng’s expression was changing rapidly. He was frowning at times, and gritting his teeth tightly at other. However, it was obvious that he wasn’t looking pleased.

“How could it be a Gifted Bloodline that’s innately cold!”

“Cold? What’s the problem?” An elder standing behind Mu Qingfeng asked in a puzzled tone.

“Yup, although Guyan’s Gifted Bloodline is known as the best in the world, it has a natural weakness.” Mu Qingfeng’s brows were knitted tightly together.

“Weakness?”

“It’s afraid of the cold by nature.”

“Afraid of the cold?!”

“Yes, Guyan’s Gifted Bloodline contains the spirituality of a demi-snake. Since snakes are cold-blooded, they would enter a state of hibernation during extreme cold.” Mu Qingfeng explained.

“Are you suggesting that...”

“If Guyan has already become a Sage, this fight wouldn’t be a problem for her. After all, this weakness only has a slight effect on her, just like how everything in this world reinforces or counteracts each other. However, Guyan is only at Rebirth State and her Gifted Bloodline hasn’t awakened completely. Now that she’s facing a Sage like Nangong Mu who has a Gifted Bloodline that’s innately cold, her strength might be severely affected.”

“Does that mean that Guyan is going to lose?”

“I can’t say that for sure. However, I think that there is something wrong about the fact that Nangong Mu has suddenly possessed a Gifted Bloodline and one which is innately cold.”

“Pavilion Master, are you saying that the Nangong Nobles has planned this all along? The thing is, Heaven Dao Pavilion and the Nangong Nobles has never had problems with each other. Why would they target us?”

“Yeah... Heaven Dao Pavilion has never had any conflict with the Nangong Nobles, so I’m just speculating as well. I hope that this is just a coincidence, but if it isn’t... What exactly is the Nangong Nobles’ goal for showing up at the Heaven Alliance Meeting?” Mu Qingfeng sighed softly at the end.

The elders behind him went silent after hearing that.

Combining Nangong Hao’s ‘strange’ behavior in Heaven Dao Pavilion a few months ago with Nangong Nobles’ sudden appearance today, and Nangong Mu’s unexpected Gifted Bloodline, the elders were equally confused and worried.

Of course, regardless if it was a coincidence, Heaven Dao Pavilion no longer had any room for maneuver. Since the fight had already begun, they couldn’t back down.

Meanwhile, Nangong Mu had already moved. He didn’t attack like before as he obviously chose to listen to Nangong Tian’s words...

He unleashed all his might!

Huff! Nangong Mu’s body exuded a chilling air and covered Heaven’s Peak’s ground with a layer of frost as if winter had come early.

With that, many icicles began taking shape and flew towards Chi Guyan from all directions.

“He wants to freeze the entire altar!”

“Nangong Mu wants to make use of his absolute strength as a Sage to crush her!”

“So, he’s not going to fight Chi Guyan with martial arts techniques anymore?”

The surrounding disciples soon realized Nangong Mu’s intention after they saw the freezing air and the wave of icicles rushing towards Chi Guyan.

If Nangong Mu was said to be using close ranged sword techniques just now, then he was now using the chill that engulfed the entire altar.

Under such circumstances...

Even Chi Guyan was forced to go head-to-head against Nangong Mu.

That was because she had no way of avoiding his attack.

In fact, just like what everyone had expected, Chi Guyan gripped her sword tighter and a dazzling radiance, comparable to starlight, lit up in her eyes. Then, she moved.

She struck with her sword.

It was like a meteor falling across the sky.

Crack! The icy wave rushing towards her was split open and countless ice shards flew into the air and dissipated as spots of white light.

A single slash was able to split open an icy wave created by a Sage from countless icicles. There was no doubt about the sword’s sharpness.

However, although the icy wave was slashed open, there were many snow-white flowers blooming within the wave. Each flower was exuding a freezing aura.

The icy wave regenerated almost instantly. It was flowing even faster than before and covered a wider area.

“What kind of Gifted Bloodline is that?”

“I don’t know. I’ve never seen any similar record in historical documents.”

“Yeah, those white flowers and the gigantic tree floating in the sky don’t seem like a normal Gifted Bloodline at all. What exactly is that?”

The disciples were shocked and started guessing when they saw that the icy wave had regenerated.

Meanwhile, Chi Guyan was falling back because of the icy wave.

Her sword came down relentlessly and drew many streams of starlight in the air. The icy wave was split open repeatedly, but it regenerated over and over again.

This was a battle of attrition.

However, everyone knew that Chi Guyan couldn’t fall back much longer, because she would lose the fight once she moved out of the altar completely.

“Pavilion Master, if this goes on, Guyan might be completely suppressed!” An elder from Heaven Dao Pavilion was looking more and more worried as he watched the fight.

“Nangong Mu’s Gifted Bloodline is too bizarre. Without knowing its origin, it could be difficult to counter it. The only problem is, what kind of Gifted Bloodline consists of white flowers and a gigantic tree?” Another elder was equally anxious.

“Cold... White flowers, and a gigantic tree?” Mu Qingfeng gazed at the tree which gave out a holy aura and almost covered the entire sky. He clenched his fists without realizing it.

“Tree type Gifted Bloodline has always been rare, not to mention one with such an intense chill. I’ve never heard of any tree that grew in the Wintry Land...”

“Wintry Land?!” Mu Qingfeng’s eyes suddenly opened wide. His body trembled as he replied, “No, there’s a tree that grows in the Wintry Land!”

“What tree is that?”

“Have you guys heard of Yan Huang?”

“Yan Huang?” The elders looked at each other with a hint of surprise in their eyes. “Of course we know about Yan Huang, but is it even possible for this tree to be related to Yan Huang?”

“I’m not too sure either. However, it is recorded in the historical texts that the world was split into nine parts during the Yan Huang era, and they were called the Nine Continents. Back then, there was a tree that grew in the Wintry Land.”

“Pavilion Master, are you referring to the tree that Emperor Yan...”

“That’s right! Emperor Yan used this tree as a map when he split the world into nine parts. Legend has it that this tree has existed since the creation of the world. There are even rumors that the top of this tree was the Realm of Gods and Demons. Hence, this tree was later known as the ‘Tree of God’, and it’s the gate to the three worlds which belonged respectively to man, gods, and demons!”

“The gate to the three worlds which belonged respectively to man, gods, and demons?!” The elders’ expressions changed when they heard Mu Qingfeng, because they knew very well what those words meant.

“I hope that’s just my surmise, or else...” Mu Qingfeng stopped at this moment, but he was still staring at the gigantic shadow in the sky gloomily.

The elders of Heaven Dao Pavilion went silent again, but they were much grimmer than before.

Boom! A loud noise diverted the elders’ attention to Chi Guyan again. However, they looked more nervous when they saw what was happening on the altar.

That was because Chi Guyan no longer had anywhere to go. She was forced to the edge of the altar, and she would be out of bounds if she took another step back.

Chi Guyan was surrounded by the icy wave. There were many snow-white flowers looming on the icy wave and exuding an intense chill.

“Is Chi Guyan going to lose?”

“Nangong Mu is too powerful after all. He’s a Sage with a weird Gifted Bloodline. Even Chi Guyan can’t possibly defeat him, right?”

“Yeah, Chi Guyan is only at Rebirth State currently. It is too much to ask... For her to defeat Nangong Mu!”

The disciples from the other sects realized that Chi Guyan wasn’t at an advantage in this fight even though it was a little unbelievable.

“Don’t lose, sister Yan!” Ping Yang was also extremely nervous at this point in time. Her tender cheeks were blushing and she was clenching her fists tightly.

Chi Guyan didn’t say a word.

However, the radiance in her eyes was growing brighter. Spots of light continued to gather in her eyes as if they were the starry sky.

“Mu’er, don’t hold back!” Nangong Tian’s voice was heard again. The dozen people behind him were watching the fight closely as well.

“Ah!!!” Nangong Mu screamed again and the snow symbol on his forehead became exceptionally dazzling instantly.

Rumble!

While Nangong Mu screamed, the icy wave came crashing down towards Chi Guyan like a massive tidal wave.

Buzz! At this moment, a vibrating buzz was heard, following which, a massive shadow appeared in the sky abruptly.

Boom!

The shadow crashed onto the icy wave and shattered it completely. Even the snow-white flowers disappeared.

It was an enormous black rock.

It fell from the sky and created a massive crater in the icy wave.

At the same time, a dazzling radiance appeared behind the black rock. It was a massive shadow with long black hair hanging at its waist.

It was a human-shaped shadow.

The shadow appeared behind Chi Guyan out of nowhere. It was noble and holy as if it was the ruler of the world, overlooking the altar coldly and arrogantly. Its long, scaly tail was swinging around.

Every time it swang its tail, it would take an inch off the icy wave. Even the stars would lose their radiance because of its imposing manner.

“It’s Gifted Bloodline!”

“Is Chi Guyan finally forced to activate her Gifted Bloodline?”

“As expected of the number one Gifted Bloodline in the world, it’s so impressive! Even though Nangong Mu is a Sage, he can’t seem to suppress Chi Guyan’s aura!”

The spectating disciples took a step back subconsciously, stunned by the massive shadow behind Chi Guyan’s back.

However, she trembled a little at this instance. Even though it was a minor movement, it was obvious that she was straining herself.

However, Chi Guyan wasn’t about to stop. As soon as the shadow appeared, she rushed towards Nangong Mu.

Boom! Her sword struck the icy wave.

Chi Guyan was extremely fast, completely disregarding the icy wave in her way. Her sword attacked nimbly, one stroke, two strokes, three strokes...

As her sword swang up and down, the entire icy wave was torn apart, opening up a direct path to Nangong Mu. Although the white flowers were still on the wave, they were no longer able to stop Chi Guyan.

“So powerful! Is she really at Rebirth State?”

“She made a counterattack?!”

“Chi Guyan, the Chosen One... She’s only 17 years old!”

It was impossible for the spectating disciples to remain unfazed after they saw Chi Guyan clearing a path in the icy wave towards Nangong Mu.

After all, her cultivation was lower than Nangong Mu.

Under such circumstances, not only did Chi Guyan fought back, but she also succeeded in getting close to Nangong Mu. This was definitely a miracle.

Clang! It was the sound of metal clashing. Nangong Mu crossed the Green and Blue Dual Blade in front of his chest, and there was a longsword in between them.

“He stopped it?!”

The disciples were shocked by what they saw. Just as they were about to make further comments, Nangong Mu’s Green and Blue Dual Blade moved again.

The dual blade split up.

A green and a blue radiance shot out of the blades and blasted towards Chi Guyan with an intense chill.

Boom! Chi Guyan shifted her sword to block the attack, and she fell back rapidly due to the force from the two streams of sword radiance.

At the meantime, countless snow-white flowers bloomed in the icy wave that was split open. The chilling air regenerated the broken icy wave rapidly.

“Crap, Nangong Mu did that on purpose just now!” Mu Qingfeng’s expression changed completely. Just as he said, Nangong Mu had purposely allowed Chi Guyan to get close to him. In that case, how would he allow Chi Guyan to escape?

Countless icicles turned into an icy wave again and surrounded Chi Guyan from all directions. In just mere moments, she was completely engulfed.
