Hmph, Men!

Ye City, Ye family manor.

Several people sat in the hall, their expressions quite solemn.

"Great Elder, I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to develop to this point."

Xiao Yan sighed, a look of helplessness on his face.

"Alas, if my Ye Clan hadn't declined, even the Ice River Valley wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous. You are guests I invited, and I failed to protect you. It is my incompetence, and the Ye Clan's incompetence!"

Ye Zhong, dressed in blue, sighed, his aged face full of apology.

"I am the one Ice River Valley wants. If there is no other way, then hand me over."

Xiao Yi Xian lowered her eyelids slightly and spoke in a rather deep voice.

"How can that be? If something happens to you, how will we explain it to Xiao Yuan?"

Yun Yun, standing to the side, also looked rather grim. In the recent battle with Ice River Valley, Xiao Yi Xian were injured by Ice River Valley's Ice Venerable Strength. Fortunately, Yao Lao intervened and expelled the Ice Venerable Strength their bodies, and Xiao Yan also refined pills to help treat their injuries.

"Don't worry, my two sisters-in-law. Before I die in battle, Ice River Valley won't be able to take any of you with me!"

Xiao Yan stood up and said with a resolute expression.

If Ice River Valley is truly going too far, then he can only rely on his teacher's soul power to try to fuse the four Heavenly Flames and the nascent Transformation Fire to unleash the Destruction Fire Lotus!

If that still doesn't stop Ice River Valley, then he'll self-destruct his Heavenly Flames! Anyway, the Heavenly Flames from Third Brother's place is enough to revive the teacher.

"If all else fails, I will step in, don't worry."

In Xiao Yan's mind, Yao Lao's voice rang out with a laugh.

This is the Pill Domain. If his soul fluctuations are fully revealed, it might attract some powerful figures from the Soul Hall, but more likely, it will attract some old friends from within the Pill Domain.

But I'm really embarrassed to see anyone in this disheveled state.

"Teacher, Third Brother said we can't let you expose yourself so easily!"

Xiao Yan said with a wry smile.

"Silly boy, what time is it, and you're still worrying about this kind of thing?"

The Yao Lao laughed and scolded with a hint of helplessness.

Hmm? As if sensing something, Xiao Yan suddenly turned his head to look outside the manor.

Suddenly, one by one, cold snowflakes appeared silently and slowly fell, bringing a chill to Ye City, which is usually spring-like all year round.

Many people sensed something was wrong and quickly flew to higher ground, looking out of the city with suspicion and uncertainty.

Countless white figures slowly surrounded them from all directions, and each of these figures wore the same badge on its chest.

A beautiful snowflake, cold to the bone.

Ice River Valley

Inside Ye City, countless people stared in disbelief at the white figures that covered the mountains and plains outside the city. A powerful, astonishing chill emanated from these people, ultimately affecting the environment of the surrounding area. The sudden drop in temperature and the falling snowflakes within the city were also attributed to this immense cold! "Are these all people from Ice River Valley?"

"What are they doing in Ye City? And why are they making such a terrifying show of force?"

"Could they be targeting the Ye Clan?"

"Nonsense. The Ice River Valley's status is far superior to that of the Ye Clan or even the Five Great Clans. How could it possibly covet the Ye Clan?"

"So you're saying they've made such a big fuss because they're here to visit Ye City?"

"."

Within Ye City, the sudden arrival of the Ice River Valley army outside the city caused a great commotion. Everyone was puzzled as to who could possibly provoke Ice River Valley, one of the three great valleys, to mobilize such a large force.

The chilling air outside the city, like a protective barrier, paused only after spreading to within a hundred meters of Ye City before expanding outwards, completely enveloping the city. With these barriers of cold air, Ye City was utterly surrounded, with no one able to enter or leave! "Ye Clan, hand over the Calamity Poison Girl and the others, or we will annihilate your Ye Clan today!"

As the city's inhabitants panicked at the sudden appearance of the cold barrier, a faint, aged voice, accompanied by powerful Dou Qi, slowly drifted into the city from outside, finally resounding clearly in everyone's ears.

"The Calamity Poison Girl? So they came for the Calamity Poison Girl, no wonder."

"I never expected the Calamity Poison Girl to be in the Ye Clan? These guys are really bold!"

Upon hearing this aged voice, the commotion in the city subsided considerably, and some people even breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Ice River Valley was after the Ye Clan. Although the city was now under siege, as long as others did not act recklessly, the Ice River Valley should not harm the innocent.

Several white figures slowly walked through the air, then hovered in mid-air, their indifferent gazes sweeping across the city before settling on the area where the Ye Clan was located in the city center.

The leader of these white figures was Heavenly Serpent Elder in the Ice River Valley. However, half of his face and body were burned, making him look terrifying and ferocious, like a demon from hell.

Beside him, besides several powerful elders of the Ice River Valley, there was an old man dressed in a white velvet robe. The old man had white hair and beard, and always wore a seemingly warm smile on his face. But even the Tian She's eyes flashed with a hint of apprehension when he looked at this man.

The appearance of Tian She and his group caused another commotion in the city, with shouts of surprise echoing throughout.

"That's the Tian She from Ice River Valley? I didn't expect even he would come this time!"

"Hiss, what happened to his face? It looks like he's been burned."

"Hehe, I heard that he was seriously injured while chasing the Calamity Poison Girl a few days ago. I suppose that's when he got injured!"

"You are quite blind. You only saw the Tian She, but you didn't even recognize the important figure next to him."

"Is that Great Elder Tian Shuangzi of Ice River Valley? Ice River Valley actually mobilized even him? It is said that Tian Shuangzi advanced to the Dou Zun level ten years ago!"

"The Ice River Valley really went all out to capture the Calamity Poison Girl!"

While the city was in turmoil, the Ye Clan was also in an uproar. All the members of the Ye Clan stared dumbfounded at the spectacle in the sky, especially Ye Zhong and several elders, whose faces turned ashen.

"Tian Shuangzi, Tian She."

Ye Zhong's lips trembled slightly, realizing that he had underestimated the troublemaking abilities of the distinguished guests he had invited.

Either of these two is enough to destroy the Ye Clan. Now that both of them have arrived, the Ye Clan should think, "Since they're here for us, let's go out and meet them!"

Xiao Yan remained calm and took the lead in stepping into the void, arriving in mid-air.

Then, under the watchful eyes of countless people, it stopped not far from the Tian She and the others, followed closely by Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun.

"Old Tian She, you escaped quickly last time, but I didn't expect you to bring so many reinforcements."

Xiao Yan lightly stepped into the sky, looking at the Tian She leaning on its snake staff opposite him, and couldn't help but tease it.

Last time, with the help of Yao Lao, he almost slapped that old dog to death, but unfortunately, the man was too ruthless and betrayed his two elders, which allowed him to escape with his life on the line. However, he was still almost burned to death by Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames.

Hearing Xiao Yan's laughter, Tian She's face darkened considerably, and he said coldly, "Boy, keep using your words. Once you fall into my hands, I'll make you understand what it means to wish you were dead!"

"What? You want to be burned again?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan sneered and flipped his palm, causing azure flames to rise gently from it.

Upon seeing the terrifying Heavenly Flames that had nearly burned him to death, even the Tian She's old face couldn't help but twitch.

"Hehe, this young friend must be the one who defeated the Tian She, right? May I ask his name?"

The old man, dressed in a white velvet coat, stared at Xiao Yan and smiled.

"Enough with the nonsense, let's fight!"

Xiao Yan couldn't be bothered to give this old man a good look. These idiots from Ice River Valley dared to make a move on his sister-in-law; they were asking for death!

Unfortunately, apart from hearing news about Third Brother and Wind and Thunder Pavilion a few months ago, there has been no further news of Third Brother, and we don't know where he is now.

Upon hearing this, Tian Shuangzi's smile remained unchanged as he said with a grin, "Since that's the case, then I'll have no choice but to stop you myself."

"Hmph, come on if you're not afraid of death!"

Xiao Yan a cold smile, and immediately activated the first transformation of the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations. His aura instantly surged to the peak of the Four-Star Dou Zong. Following this, Yao Lao's soul power was also injected into Xiao Yuan's body. Although Yao Lao didn't go all out to conceal his own aura, Xiao Yan still exuded an aura comparable to a Dou Zun expert! Clearly, Yao Lao's soul power had recovered considerably! Seeing the two locked in a fierce confrontation, Tian She felt slightly relieved. Then, his gaze swept across the scene, spotting Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun, and he sneered:

"Today, the area outside Ye City has been sealed off by City Locking Array set up by my Ice River Valley. None of you can escape!"

"Hehe, there's no need to delay any longer. Delay will only lead to complications. I'll leave the Calamity Poison Girl to you. I hope you won't cause any more trouble, or the Valley Master won't let you off easily."

Tian Shuangzi's shrewd gaze swept across the city, and then his brows furrowed slightly. His keen intuition told him that something bad was about to happen.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Shuangzi lightly stepped into the void and appeared ten meters away from Xiao Yan, locking onto him with his aura and preventing him from supporting Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun.

The Tian She nodded, its sinister gaze turning to Xiao Yi Xian, and it sneered, "Woeful Poison Body, I'd like to see who can save you this time!"

The next moment, the Tian She flashed and appeared in front of Xiao Yi Xian.

With a wave of the serpent staff, a fierce gust of wind blocked all escape routes for Xiao Yi Xian.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi Xian showed no joy or sorrow on her face, but the hand seals in her hands changed rapidly. Now, she had no choice but to unleash her Woeful Poison Body once again.

Not far from her, Yun Yun was also in a very bad situation. She was only at the level of Two Star Dou Zong, and it was too difficult for her to deal with the elders of Ice River Valley!

However, the next moment, a bolt of Azure Lightning, accompanied by a deafening roar, tore through space and sent the Ice River Valley elder in front of Yun Yun flying. Judging from his body, which was mostly collapsed and his rapidly weakening aura, it was clear that this person was definitely not going to survive.

But the Azure Lightning did not stop. After grabbing Yun Yun, it trembled slightly in the air, then appeared beside Xiao Yi Xian at an astonishing speed, stepping on the azure lightning. It grabbed her slender and soft waist and then flew backward.

"There are more helpers?"

Seeing this, Heavenly Serpent Elder She's face turned cold, and he struck out with his snake staff, clearly intending to kill the mysterious person who had suddenly appeared.

However, the next moment, a flash of light appeared on the man's palm, and a silver figure with golden spots appeared, punching Heavenly Serpent Elder back.

"Damn it, who is it!"

Tian She shook his slightly numb hands, his face also quite gloomy.

However, before he could utter a word, the silver figure appeared before him like a shadow, its fist tearing through the air and crashing down with a series of shrill sounds.

As for Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun, who were out of danger, their faces were filled with joy, and they exclaimed in unison, "Xiao Yuan?"

With a woman on each arm around his shoulder, Xiao Yuan nodded with a smile and whispered, "Darling, did you miss me?"

Upon hearing this, both Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun blushed, but still nodded and responded in a barely audible voice.

"You're in such high spirits, not forgetting to talk about love even at a time like this."

A voice, clearly tinged with sourness, rang out, followed by a glamorous figure appearing beside the three.

"Medusa?"

The moment Yun Yun saw Cai Lin, her eyes widened.

What's going on? Xiao Yi Xian was also stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly as she looked at the woman in front of her.

She was naturally aware of Medusa's formidable reputation, but what concerned her even more was that this woman's strength was no less than her own.

"Uh, let's just call her Cai Lin, Sister Yun. This is a long story, and I'll explain it to you later. Right now, let's deal with the Ice River Valley matter first."

Xiao Yuan sensed a hint of tension and quickly changed the subject.

"Hmph, men!"

Although Cai Lin snorted coldly upon hearing this, she was the first to respond to Xiao Yuan. She then found an elder from Ice River Valley and charged forward.

"Hmph, men!"

Xiao Yi Xian glared at Xiao Yuan with a hint of arrogance, but her face still held a cheerful smile. She was very happy to see Xiao Yuan again.

"You're getting bolder and bolder!"

Yun Yun shook her head helplessly. She could roughly guess some of the things about Xiao Yuan Medusa, but she still felt that Xiao Yuan was incredibly audacious.

With that kind of strength, they dared to plot against Medusa, really... "That was given to me by you, Sister Yun!"

Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"Hmph! Men!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun couldn't help but roll her eyes at Xiao Yuan. Of course, she understood what Xiao Yuan meant. When she and Xiao Yuan met, their strengths were also vastly different, but she didn't do anything to him.

"Be careful, don't get hurt, I'll take care of everything."

Xiao Yuan looked at the two women and smiled gently. Then, with a wave of his hand, four puppets—wind, Wind Cloud Lightning and Thunder —appeared beside the two women in pairs.

"With them protecting me, I feel more at ease."

Xiao Yuan nodded to them, then flashed into the midst of the battle between Heavenly Serpent Elder and the Demon Puppet Fei Tian.

"Who exactly are you? Why has Fei Tian become your puppet?"

Heavenly Serpent Elder naturally recognized the Pavilion Master of the Wind and Thunder North Pavilion, but it was precisely because of this that he felt alarmed.

It should be noted that even he would find it difficult to kill Fei Tian, given the extreme speed of the Three Thousand Lightning Movement. If Fei Tian wanted to leave, he wouldn't be able to stop him.

But now, this powerful figure, whose strength was comparable to his own, had become a mindless puppet. This was truly chilling!

"Go help Cai Lin."

There are many powerful figures in Ice River Valley. Since puppets have been assigned to Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun, it is impossible to neglect the alluring beauty who accompanied him on his hurried journey.

Upon hearing this, the Demon Puppet Fei Tian nodded, and then flashed to appear beside Cai Lin.

"At least you have a conscience!"

Cai Lin glanced at the Demon Puppet guarding her side, her red lips curving into a gentle smile before she charged forward with even greater ruthlessness.

"The Four Great Elders Wind Cloud Lightning and Thunder, and Lightning, as well as the North Pavilion Master... are you Xiao Yuan, who caused such a stir in the Northern Region before?"

Tian She looked at the five figures, whose eyes were empty and vacant, who were not unfamiliar to him, and his old face twitched.

"You got it right. As a reward, I will personally cremate you."

Xiao Yuan nodded with a smile, but the chilling killing intent in his tone was even colder than the snow-covered city!
