The Only Chance, the Snow Mountain Dragon Clan

Beside Heavenly Lake.

Chen Ning gently wiped the pool water off Hua Luo's soft, delicate body.

The young girl had fair skin and delicate bones, and an ethereal beauty.

Chen Ning pulled her into his arms, a look of heartache on his face.

Another soak.

It's already the tenth day.

But Hua Luo still showed no signs of improvement.

The situation this time is not very optimistic.

Last time, I killed the Undying Asura Cao Zhang.

Hua Luo only remained unconscious for a few days before waking up.

Even now, soaking in the Heavenly Lake water, which is said to have boundless vitality, cannot revive Hua Luo. Her body remains incredibly cold, and her breath is weak.

His condition even worsened.

Cao Zhang was, after all, only at the Ninth Level of the Heaven Martial Realm.

But the Mount Tai Saint had already entered the Late-Stage Saint.

They stood at the pinnacle of both realms.

To defeat such an enemy.

The potential it unleashes is also enormous.

Just as the Heavenly Lake Holy Lord said, Hua Luo is now like a dried-up spring.

The consumption was simply too enormous.

However, Chen Ning could not comprehend the power that Hua Luo possessed.

I have absolutely no clue what to do.

At this moment.

The Heavenly Lake Holy Lord walked over from not far away.

Chen Ning clasped his hands and spoke:

"Senior Mu, Heavenly Lake has been the sole ruler of the Nine Provinces for hundreds of thousands of years and has connections with the Beyond the Heavens. There must be a way to save Hua'er. Please, I beg you, think of another way."

"Little one, if my Heavenly Lake had a way, how could I not save her? But this girl is too special, beyond the comprehension of my Nine Provinces Realm, and there is truly nothing I can do."

The Heavenly Lake Holy Lord sighed.

There was also a lot of helplessness in her eyes.

Suddenly.

He thought of something, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Perhaps... you could try going to the Great Snow Mountain."

"The Great Snow Mountain?"

Chen Ning was slightly taken aback.

"That's right, this girl's identity and origins are mysterious, but she is very likely from Beyond the Heavens. If that's the case, the only ones in the entire world capable of saving her are the Snow Mountain Dragon Clan!"

The Snow Mountain Dragon Clan is no stranger to super powers.

This name is widely known even in the secular world.

It's a myth or legend.

The cultivation world is filled with acclaim for this name.

Snow Mountain Dragon Clan.

A legendary race living in seclusion.

They dwell in the vast Great Snow Mountain.

There are almost no records about the Snow Mountain Dragon Clan.

The Heavenly Lake Holy Lord continued:

"Even I know nothing about the Snow Mountain Dragon Clan. They live in complete isolation from the world, truly detached from worldly affairs."

"Then why do you think the Snow Mountain Dragon Clan has a way to save Hua'er?"

"Because... even the Beyond the Heavens are wary of this snow mountain!"

The Heavenly Lake Holy Lord recalled, "For hundreds of thousands of years, many envoys from Beyond the Heavens have conveyed numerous orders to Heavenly Lake, demanding that Heavenly Lake reorganize the forces of the Nine Provinces."

An ancestor once inquired about this mysterious snow mountain, but the Beyond the Heavens all requested that Heavenly Lake not disturb the snow mountain or the peace of the Snow Mountain Dragon Clan.

Therefore, our ancestors of Heavenly Lake have speculated that the Snow Mountain Dragon Clan has an extraordinary origin and a noble status, so much so that even envoys from Beyond the Heavens dare not touch them.

After hearing the story told by the Heavenly Lake Holy Lord.

Chen Ning's eyes lit up. "That's true."

The Snow Mountain Dragon Clan is truly the most mysterious clan in the Nine Provinces.

Perhaps there really is a way to save Hua Luo.

Chen Ning separated a Divine Sense and placed it into a spatial bag, where the Little Black Dragon was still sleeping peacefully.

Since absorbing the soul of that eighth-tier spirit beast Troll Spider.

The Little Black Dragon remained asleep.

Period.

Chen Ning also tried some methods to awaken it.

In the end, nothing ever came of it.

In addition, a series of troubles have followed over the past year.

So much so that Chen Ning almost forgot it existed.

However, this time we're going to the Snow Mountain Dragon Clan.

Perhaps we'll need to rely on the Little Black Dragon's influence.

After all, the little guy's real name is the Progenitor Black Dragon!

He's the Primogenitor, after all!

Those snow mountain dragons will surely give us some face!

The Heavenly Lake Holy Lord smiled gently and said, "Little fellow, this old man will accompany you to the Great Snow Mountain."

"Thank you very much Senior Mu."

Chen Ning quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute.

The being we're facing this time is far too mysterious, so having the Heavenly Lake Holy Lord by our side gives us a greater chance of success.

This was also a consideration for the Heavenly Lake Holy Lord.

After deciding to go to the Great Snow Mountain.

The two immediately set off.

Central Province.

Above the endless, vast snow-capped mountains.

Two figures stepped out from the void rift.

Standing in the clouds.

Overlooking this snow-capped mountain.

It snows here year-round, and the area is covered in ice and snow all day long.

A frigid environment.

It causes those of low cultivation level to freeze to death simply by getting close.

Therefore.

It is also a forbidden area.

"Heavenly Lake Mu Tianji has come to pay a visit to the Snow Mountain Dragon Clan, requesting an audience!"

The voice of the Heavenly Lake Holy Lord carried far and wide.

It added a resounding voice to the tranquil snow-capped mountains.

However, a moment later...

The vast snow-capped mountains have returned to a state of deathly stillness.

There was no response.

Chen Ning couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

The Snow Mountain Dragon Clan is truly mysterious and arrogant.

The Heavenly Lake Holy Lord is already a figure standing at the pinnacle of power throughout the entire Nine Provinces.

But the Dragon Clan still wouldn't give them any face.

"It seems... my influence isn't enough to make them come out and meet me," Mu Tianji said with a self-deprecating laugh.

"Senior Mu, why don't you let me give it a try?"

Chen Ning smiled, then his solemn voice echoed throughout the entire snow-capped mountain:

"The three-year period has come to an end; please, Dragon King, descend from the mountain!"

After a while.

The sea is calm.

Chen Ning chuckled, though it was just a mischievous glint in his eye. The only real chance he had to draw upon the dragons' trump cards was the Little Black Dragon.

Chen Ning spoke calmly again, "The Primogenitor is here; why don't you come out and pay your respects?"

A very ordinary sentence was relayed out.

This time.

The once peaceful snow-capped mountain began to tremble slightly.

Then.

A series of dragon roars echoed outwards.

The sound was deafening.

After a while.

A majestic dragon coiled atop a mountain peak, its enormous eyes fixed on Chen Ning and the Heavenly Lake Holy Lord.

Upon witnessing this scene...

Not only Chen Ning, but even the Heavenly Lake Holy Lord was shocked.

This dragon's aura is incredibly powerful.

The aura emanating from his entire body was overwhelming and unparalleled.

It is even more awe-inspiring.

With just a cursory glance, the Heavenly Lake Holy Lord concluded that the giant dragon before him was probably no weaker than the Mount Tai Saint he had seen that day.

At this time.

The majestic dragon spoke in human language, "Humans... you shouldn't have come to this area..."

"It was truly a last resort."

Chen Ning clasped his hands in a fist and said, "This junior wishes to ask a powerful figure from the Dragon Clan to save my companion."

"On what grounds?"

The majestic dragon's tone was devoid of any emotion. "Based on... your karma with the Primogenitor in this lifetime?"

Really.

Chen Ning was right; the Little Black Dragon and the Snow Mountain Dragon Clan had a blood connection.

Only now, with the majestic dragon's personal confirmation, did Chen Ning feel truly confident.

Then.

Chen Ning smiled and said, "It's not just because of Little Black. Even if I didn't have any connection with Little Black, I would still come to ask for your help, simply because... I can offer you what you want in return."

"You are so... weak... worthless to us..."
