Seeing Great Xia-and Seeing You

Chen Yan gazed at Lu Jianxia, speechless for a moment.

Had Lu Jianxia done many things wrong?

It seemed she had.

Back on Myriad Forms Island, she had clearly already learned Chen Yan's identity, yet she hadn't exposed him.

She had even kept his secret for a long time afterward.

From Lu Jianxia's perspective, it was surely painful.

Chen Yan looked at her, standing quietly.

The wind whispered across the lake.

Time passed, second by second.

Less than an hour remained before this trial ended.

How could he break this impasse?

Or perhaps a wisp of the Lord of Qi and Blood's consciousness.

[Long Wish to Tread the Strange Ice River, Use Body to Break Stone, Shatter Dream Sink.

Still, the Sole Tyrant Sits Upon His Throne; Hate Parting My Flesh and Bones Inner Cold.]

These were almost like a secret code between them.

Chen Yan had crossed the Ice River and used his fists to break through the towering ice wall.

He had done everything he was supposed to do.

Where was the Sole Tyrant who sat atop the ice wall?

Chen Yan looked around, then turned his gaze to Qiong Heaven.

"Are you still not coming out?"

He called out sharply:

"I'm here already!"

His voice echoed, but no one answered.

Inside the Cloud Top Palace, the Immortal Skirt Woman furrowed her brows. She had no idea what Chen Yan was talking about.

But if Chen Yan didn't kill Lu Jianxia, she would die too.

A trace of disappointment appeared in her eyes. She spoke slowly:

"To accomplish great things, you must learn to let go.
