Chapter 308 The Cold Crystal Palace
The next moment, Liu Yue kicked him, "Don't remember? Stop talking nonsense and lead the way! The poison in your body will take effect in an hour. Since you are a pharmacist, you should know how painful the deaths of those guards were."
Having finally straightened his back, Ling Feng was kicked and almost fell flat on his face again.
"Follow me, come with me." Ling Feng pulled up his sleeve and wiped away the two tubes of blood that had flowed out.
As expected of the God of Slaughter, his methods are... exceptionally ruthless.
Liu Yue's gamble was right; the place was full of traps, with a deadly trap almost every half meter!
She can ignore the formations; as long as she follows the right path, there won't be any problems! But traps are different; once triggered, they will be absolutely deadly!
She could dodge it once or twice, but she couldn't guarantee she could pass through these half-meter-long traps safely, but with Ling Feng's token...
Liu Yue arrived at the Cold Crystal Palace with ease.
Outside the Cold Crystal Palace, it looks no different from any other palace, but inside it is a completely different world.
The four walls are made of ice stone, and the eight dragon-carved pillars in the hall are also made of ice stone from the extremely cold land that has existed for thousands of years!
Upon entering, a chilling atmosphere immediately greets you.
The moment the cold air enveloped her entire body, Liu Yue almost froze to death! Her already weakened body was further ravaged by this extreme cold... and her lifespan was shortened even more.
Ling Feng secretly turned his head to look at Liu Yue and saw that her lips were pale. He took out a cloak from his space and said, "This is for you."
Ling Feng limped up to Liu Yue, and the next second, his neck was grabbed.
“I…I just wanted to give you a cloak.”
"Thank you."
Upon touching the cloak, Liu Yue realized that she had misunderstood Ling Feng. Without any hesitation, she took the cloak and wrapped it around herself.
If she could use her spiritual power, she could also use it to warm her body.
But at this moment, she couldn't circulate any spiritual energy at all, and could only rely on her righteous energy to withstand the extreme cold! Even wearing an animal fur cloak couldn't completely ward off the cold.
The abnormal sensations emanating from her body were impossible for Liuyue to ignore, but she could endure them.
Even Ling Feng, a Xuanhuang, could barely withstand the extreme cold. Even with his spiritual energy to resist it, he couldn't last long.
Jun Liuyue, a mere mortal, didn't even blink, relying entirely on willpower to sustain herself.
Ling Feng recalled a scene from ten years ago, when he was just a junior pharmacist in the hall, only able to do odd jobs and being bullied by other high-ranking pharmacists.
Jun Liuyue saw him, and her appearance scared away the pharmacists. She asked him, "You've even infiltrated the Divine Realm, and you're still in such a sorry state?"
He lowered his head, trying not to let Jun Liuyue see his scarred face. He was also a little scared, after all, Jun Liuyue was a notorious female demon in the Divine Realm.
Jun Liuyue didn't make things difficult for him, but instead tossed him a book of alchemical texts: "I have no use for it, you can throw it away for me."
After saying that, Liu Yue turned and left, staring blankly at the cinnabar book that had been thrown in front of him.
That book of alchemy became a turning point in his fate.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go." Liu Yue had already walked in front of Ling Feng.
Ling Feng quickly followed.
Those traps weren't the hardest part; the hardest part... was this snowfield! With each step, a deep footprint would appear, only to be covered by the snow again after a few seconds, as if no one had ever been there.
The extreme cold here is the most intense.
Liu Yue, with her mortal body, has virtually no chance of passing through here.
With each step, it felt like walking on knives, as if a thousand knives were slicing through her body! Piercing her! Over and over again!
Intense pain spread throughout her body. Liu Yue took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Damn it! What kind of place is this?!"
I remember in my past life she came to the Cold Crystal Palace to have a snowball fight...
"Sigh, this is really an old body." Liu Yue's lips twitched as she suppressed the urge to faint from the cold.
Finally crossing the snow, Liuyue took a deep breath. Her hands, hidden under her cloak, were frostbitten, and even her feet felt a stinging pain. Every step felt like walking on icicles.
"Are you alright?" The blood flowing from Ling Feng's nose had frozen by now.
"It's alright, keep going, don't dawdle." Liu Yue's expression remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened.
Ling Feng: ...
Is this person impenetrable?
Only after crossing the snowfield did we arrive at the true Frost Crystal Palace, where the corpses of the successive gods and elders of the temple were kept.
Upon entering, Liuyue sensed a familiar presence; her body was indeed here!
A cold wind swept by, ruffling the girl's black hair, and she quickened her pace.
Meanwhile, chaos reigned within the temple. None of the patrolling guards had taken the petty thief seriously until four guards, three in total, were caught off guard. Of the five patrolling guards, the three in front had their necks severed by thin threads. The two behind escaped, but seeing their former acquaintance with his head cut off still left them with considerable psychological trauma.
So much so that the two people who were called in for questioning kept replaying the scene in their minds and stammered, as if they had been terrified.
Xuanxin never expected that a petty thief could cause such a huge uproar! He even killed someone.
"Send more men! Don't let a single fly escape! If we don't catch this petty thief today, you'll all be sent to the dungeon to be punished!"
"Yes!"
The group of guards hurriedly left the main hall, not daring to waste a single moment.
There will be three hours until dawn.
We must catch this thief before dawn, otherwise, if the elders in the temple find out during the day, there will surely be widespread panic.
These guards dared not underestimate the danger and were on high alert.
Di Qingluan was angry about the marriage agreement when she heard that someone had broken into the temple.
He immediately went to find the Goddess's wife, and when he saw his daughter, Xuanxin's expression relaxed a lot.
But a hint of seriousness still lingered in his eyes.
The trouble this petty thief stirred up had exceeded her expectations.
"Mother, has that little thief been caught?"
Di Qingluan walked to Xuanxin's side.
She was also very curious about who this person who had caused such a ruckus in the Cold Crystal Palace was.
“No.” Xuan Xin frowned. “This person should have some connection with Jun Liuyue.”
One word.
Di Qingluan's expression suddenly stiffened. "Jun Liuyue?"
Upon hearing this name, Di Qingluan's face was filled with disgust. She suddenly remembered the poison she had been given a few days ago, which was also inextricably linked to Jun Liuyue.
"That bitch, she's been dead for so many years and still can't get away with it! Does she really want to crawl out of her ice coffin?"
Di Qingluan said angrily, "A few days ago, I was poisoned, and it was Jun Liuyue who made it!"
She didn't believe Jun Liuyue was still alive at all, but one thing was certain—someone was definitely avenging Jun Liuyue!
This petty thief also broke into the temple on a moonlit night because of the deceased Jun Liu.
Upon hearing this, Xuanxin's expression became extremely solemn.
Thinking of Ling Feng's words, could it be... could this person really be Jun Liuyue?
She's not dead yet?
But she saw Jun Liuyue die with her own eyes!
Suddenly, Xuanxin remembered something: "The Frost Crystal Palace!"
Since this thief came for Jun Liuyue, his target must be the Cold Crystal Palace! And Jun Liuyue's body is stored in the Cold Crystal Palace!
Xuan Xin suddenly stood up: "Men, seal off the Cold Crystal Palace!"
She had forgotten about the Cold Crystal Palace. This little thief had caused such a commotion; he was probably trying to lure her away from the palace and make her forget about its existence.
And now, the most likely thief is in the Cold Crystal Palace!
Xuan Xin sneered: "What an interesting little thief! I'd like to see if you can escape my grasp!"
Feeling completely outmaneuvered, Xuanxin was extremely annoyed.
After the Goddess went into seclusion, the entire temple was under Xuanxin's jurisdiction, and no one had ever dared to disobey her. Now... her dignity as the Goddess's wife has been challenged.
It's really good!
-
The Sacred Cangling Palace.
Yunfeng remained motionless in the courtyard, thinking: Jun Liuyue, a blind woman, can't possibly escape under his nose!
Although he didn't know Jun Liuyue's purpose, he was determined to nip Jun Liuyue's schemes in the bud.
Yunfeng remained unmoved until Bai Yichen appeared.
"Little Lord."
It's so late, young master, why are you here to see Jun Liuyue?
"Has she gone to rest?"
Bai Yichen stopped and did not go inside.
He couldn't wait to tell Jun Liuyue the news of the annulment of the engagement.
Without this engagement, he is now qualified to appear before Liuyue.
Even if Liu Yue is unwilling, he can wait! If one day isn't enough, then a month; if a month isn't enough, then a year, ten years! A hundred years!
Liu Yue is the safest person in Cangling Palace. I believe that one day, she will be moved by him.
"I'm taking a break."
The lamps inside the hall had been extinguished long ago.
One hour ago.
Presumably, this demoness extinguished her powers an hour ago.
Yunfeng thought, "A blind man has nothing to do, so what can he do if he doesn't sleep?"
"The lights are off?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yichen frowned deeply and looked at Yun Feng: "When?"
