Chapter 241: The Little Girl Escapes the Te Ku He and a distraught Xiao En began to ascend the frost-bitten mountain The look upon Xiao En’s face thawed so emotions, from excitement, to anxiety, to fear

Ku He possessed no fear; he only harbored a fervent fanaticisoal to touch the temple’s door and kneel upon the stone steps of that sacred place in worshi+p of its divinity

As they pushed on with their sobund venture, it wasn’t long before they neared their final destination However, upon approaching its frigid steps, they would immediately be taken aback You see, each tiht and reappear in the far distance, oncetowards their desired haven, this continued, and the tethen, with its black, sole shadows

In legends, it was said that the temple would only appear twice a year Ku He and Xiao En were unwilling to relinquish this opportunity, however, and so they exerted every ounce of their strength in their climb And climb they did They cli they had spent doing so Over the course of their pursuit, their bodies developed innumerable cuts and bruises from the harsh ice and lethal icicles and as they endured, two trails of blood marked their route

Slap Ku He’s hands slapped flat stone - he had reached the footsteps of the te monk, in his relief, could not help but slap the stone twice in a presumptuous manner He was quickly filled with boundless joy and his heart leapt in elation

Xiao En was slightly slower to reach the top and as he peered at the door of the temple, he clutched the weapon that he had hidden within his sleeves As he looked upon the seven-htly unnerved, and with its presence there, it almost looked as if a God had dropped a book onto the earth Although the door wasn’t as fancy as the grand door that existed within the Great Wei Palace, it made the latter look miniscule in comparison The place seemed otherworldly, as if it weren’t built for the presence of mortals

The temple was so close, yet so far

”I was unable to enter”

Fan Xian let go of Xiao En’s hands and lightly told hiht If this were not so, there would be five grand er than me Even if I were as lucky as he, there is no way I could beco this, Fan Xian shook his head ”But Ku He could not enter, either That temple possessed an aura, and it was shi+elded by a est warriors on the face of the earth, but even ere unable to breach that place”

Fan Xian perked his head The tale that Fei Jie’s th ste before a temple’s door It would appear that this tale was one of truth Fan Xian frowned and asked, ”

Xiao En caught the excite to develop within Fan Xian, and his eyebrows moved in response In his heart, he found it ad man in front of hi the mysteries of their world

”Do not…” With difficulty, the old er to trace the shape of the rune in the air

Fan Xian understood i in deep water?”[1] he said to hih

”And there were three of the exact sah strenuous effort, Xiao En estured the shape of two circular arcs, providing a an to believe that it was i fro to do with this temple?

Xiao En coughed and said, ”You are correct When you spend so oal, to finally be within reach and fall short of it, you ive up”
