Chapter 574: Chapter 562: The Clan Annihilation Battle, The Mysterious Beast’s Horn Shows Its Might_3
Ordinary Immortal Masters would probably freeze to death if they lingered here for too long.
Qin Niu, protected by the Ice Lotus, was fearless against any severe cold.
Upon reaching the peak, he saw a natural, ring-shaped Snow Pond that was quite large.
The pond was filled with thick ice and snow.
On either side of the Snow Pond were some cold-resistant pine trees and the like, with long icicles hanging from their branches.
“I wonder if this is the Snow Pond? I haven’t seen the Great Immortal of the Glaring Snow!”
Qin Niu scanned the peak with his eyes, but found no sign of humans or evidence of human life.
No figures were seen in the Snow Pond either.
“Who art thou?”
A cold voice emanated from the depths of the mountain.
“I am Qin Niu, a newly admitted formal disciple. A great upheaval has occurred in our sect; strong foes from the Fire Cloud Tunnel are attacking Immortal Gate, and have already greatly injured Great Immortal Envoy Yao. Please, Immortal, prepare yourself early.”
Qin Niu held the green jade token high above his head, his demeanor extremely respectful.
“Young man, you can withstand the severe cold of Mount Wanhan, impressive! The Fire Cloud Tunnel has long harboured rebellious intentions, and now that Immortal Venerable Chi Xiao is in closed-door cultivation, they finally show their fangs. They are asking for death.”
Before the voice fell, the ice and melting snow in the Snow Pond suddenly exploded.
A man with white hair and white beard flew out from the Snow Pond.
It was impossible to tell his exact age; his long white hair was carelessly scattered behind his head, and he wore a green long robe with bare feet.
He seemed just like an ordinary person.
When facing Great Immortal Envoy Yao, Qin Niu felt an overwhelming Immortal Might. However, standing before this Great Immortal of the Glaring Snow, he felt like he was facing an ordinary person, with no pressure at all.
“Come with me and let’s have a look!”
The Great Immortal of the Glaring Snow did not even ask if Qin Niu wanted to come; he simply reached out into the air toward Qin Niu and grabbed him over.
Then, he swiftly flew through the sky with Qin Niu.
The peach grove below looked incredibly expansive.
Qin Niu recognized the dangers of this peach grove; if not for Fourth’s guidance, he would definitely have been trapped inside.
It wasn’t long before the Great Immortal of the Glaring Snow brought Qin Niu to the entrance of the sect.
The Immortal Gate was still there.
The strong men of the Fire Cloud Tunnel were engaging in battle with the disciples of the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect, sweeping through them like a hot knife through butter.
“Huoyun Ancestor hasn’t come? You just sent these minions to die?”
The Great Immortal of the Glaring Snow asked condescendingly of the many strong men from the Fire Cloud Tunnel below.
Huo Mei, the bearded giant, and others all had the cultivation of a Great Immortal Envoy, but in the face of the Great Immortal of the Glaring Snow, they were like rats seeing a cat, each one oppressed by their superior rank.
“Huo Mei, do you understand the crime of betraying the sect?”
“Of course,” replied the woman clad in fiery red clothes, lifting her head to look at the Great Immortal of the Glaring Snow. When she saw Qin Niu standing behind the Great Immortal, her eyes narrowed slightly and her face showed a hint of surprise.
“Since you know your crime, you shall be executed!”
As the Great Immortal of the Glaring Snow’s words fell, he pressed his palm down toward Huo Mei from above.
Without warning, thick ice rapidly formed around Huo Mei’s body, encasing her within it.
She appeared extremely frightened, trying to melt the thick ice surrounding her with flames, but to no avail. The thick ice continued to squeeze inward, and the space she had grew smaller and smaller.
At that moment, Qin Niu felt an extreme danger, as if a catastrophe was about to descend upon him.
He immediately tightened his grip on the Ink Blade and Horn Shield, ready to defend himself.
“Boom!”
Thunder struck from the sky toward the Great Immortal of the Glaring Snow, followed by a man wrapped in flames.
“Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch, are you also rebelling?” asked the Great Immortal of the Glaring Snow, seemingly shocked.
“Rebellion is such an ugly word, we’re just changing the leader of our Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect. Great Immortal of the Glaring Snow, there’s no need for you to die for Zhu Ru. Why not join us in the Fire Cloud Tunnel and rejoice?”
The man known as Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch had fiery hair and beard, looked to be a middle-aged man in his forties, and was also floating in the air, his hair and beard fluttering.
He was wearing a crimson feathered robe.
Qin Niu immediately noticed that the robe was made from numerous feathers of the Fire Phoenix, and specifically from the finest portion of the feathers on the Fire Phoenix’s body.
To make such a large robe, how many Fire Phoenixes would have to be hunted down? At least twenty or thirty, surely.
Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch wore an unusual crown on his head, with a single “Deer Antler” just beginning to split in the middle.
Flashes of lightning flickered over the antler.
