Far atop the mountain peak, the old woman stepped out once more. Her cloudy eyes fixed on Fu Ya as she asked, "Are you really that confident in the Saintess?"
Feeling the faint pressure, Fu Ya smiled bitterly. "This is our only chance. Besides, that person is so powerful—there definitely won't be a problem."
Leaning on her cane, the old woman walked to the edge of the peak. Her cloudy eyes gazed at the towering tree before her as she said calmly, "Perhaps."
A gentle breeze lifted her silver-white hair. Her aged face seemed to suddenly become very young, but in an instant, it returned to its elderly appearance.
Inside the inner world, pale gray dust and sand covered the ground. Mournful wails and ghostly cries rang out endlessly as white figures crawled up from the earth.
The dark-blue skeletons stared fixedly at everyone before them, then let out wild roars as they charged toward the vitality of the living.
"Hmm?"
Xiao Yi Xian frowned as she looked at the skeletons before her. With the Elf Saintess beside her, it would not be appropriate for her to reveal her strength.
A white figure shot out from Xiao Yi Xian's sleeve. In the blink of an eye, a massive creature appeared before everyone.
"Roar!"
Chi Han immediately let out an enraged roar at the skeletons. Waves of sound swept up countless gusts of sand and wind as they surged toward the bones.
"Crack!"
With that single roar, every skeleton within a hundred meters fell apart. Chi Han looked disdainfully at the scene before her and sneezed.
Yue Lin stared at the enormous snake in astonishment. She had not expected this expert to possess a magical beast pet at the Dou Wang level.
She had seen the little snake before, but she had never seen such a huge one. Its white scales seemed to shine with a strange light.
Its enormous white wings looked as though they could blot out the sky, making Yue Lin's eyes sparkle with little stars.
"Roar!"
Another roar rose from beneath the ground. The withered bones within a hundred meters miraculously gathered together again, and the dark-blue flames within their bones had become slightly deeper in color.
"Hmph!"
Chi Han snorted coldly and swept her tail across all the skeletons, scattering loose bones in every direction.
"Roar!"
Another roar came from underground. The white withered bones gathered together once more, stronger than before.
The massive wings behind Chi Han flapped lightly, scattering the bones again.
Again and again...
No one knew how many times it happened. Chi Han was panting from exhaustion, having no idea how much battle qi she had consumed. Her forked tongue kept flicking out.
"This..."
Yue Lin looked at the huge figure collapsed on the ground. That incomparably mighty Mister Snake had actually been exhausted to the point of collapse?
"Hmm?"
Xiao Yi Xian's brows furrowed slightly. These withered bones seemed immortal and indestructible. They clearly had been scattered, yet they could gather again, becoming stronger each time.
Even the aura of the hundred surrounding withered skeletons had reached the Da Dou Shi level. Every one of them was at least a Da Dou Shi expert.
"Roar!"
Seeing Chi Han collapsed from exhaustion, the skeletons roared as if rejoicing.
"Clack, clack!"
The withered skeletons steadily approached Xiao Yi Xian and the others step by step, the blue ghost flames in their eyes seeming to dance.
Xiao Yi Xian did not know what to do as she looked at the skeletons. Every time they were destroyed and revived, not only did they grow stronger, but their intelligence also seemed to increase.
It was far too strange!
Yue Lin hid behind Xiao Yi Xian. The silver-white skeletons kept appearing in her mind, and only behind an expert did she feel safe.
Xiao Yi Xian did not know what to do either. Even Chi Han, a Dou Wang, could only scatter these skeletons rather than reduce them to ashes...
They were practically invincible. Even if she rushed forward now, she might not be able to defeat them...
There were a hundred Da Dou Shi experts. Was she supposed to go over there and throw her life away?
She was not some true expert!
What should she do?
Just then, Little Spirit grabbed Xiao Yi Xian's hand. The warm touch brought her back to her senses.
Xiao Yi Xian looked into those silver-white eyes. She could tell that Little Spirit wanted to fight and seemed to have some kind of solution.
"Yes, go without worry. I'm here!"
Xiao Yi Xian rubbed Little Spirit's white hair and spoke with a faint smile.
"Yes!"
Little Spirit walked forward step by step. Yue Lin looked curiously at the child who had volunteered to fight. Why not let the expert act when there was an expert present?
Why waste time like this?
Even if they wanted to temper this little girl, this was not the right situation for it, was it?
Looking at the situation before her, Yue Lin admitted that she did not understand!
Liu Yan watched Little Spirit go out to fight and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead...
"Little Ancestor?" Chi Han's vertical snake pupils stared at Little Spirit as she walked past. Chi Han was frightened and did not want the Little Ancestor to get hurt.
Little Spirit looked at the exhausted Chi Han lying on the ground. The corners of her lips rose slightly as she said reassuringly, "Don't worry. Leave it to me!"
Little Spirit walked toward the withered skeletons step by step, advancing beneath the mocking ghost flames in their eyes...
Under the originally gray sky, pale white snow began to fall. One unusual snowflake after another drifted down onto the land.
Little Spirit's silver hair rose without wind. Her small arm lifted gently, and the withered skeletons before her instantly turned into ice sculptures.
White wind and snow swirled around Little Spirit as her silver-white eyes stared fixedly at the skeletons before her.
The snow falling from the sky landed upon the skeletons and froze them. Flying snow continuously swept across the entire battlefield, freezing countless skeletons into ice sculptures.
Yue Lin stared in shock from behind at that figure who resembled the Snow Queen. The silver-white strands of hair fluttered endlessly in her eyes.
Chi Han and Liu Yan were both dumbfounded. Neither had imagined that their Little Ancestor could be so overwhelmingly powerful.
The snowflakes that landed on them melted upon contact, but those that fell on the skeletons turned them into layers of ice.
Xiao Yi Xian stretched out her hand. A snowflake landed in her palm and melted as soon as it touched her skin, its icy sensation seeming to etch itself deeply into her heart.
As she looked at the figure amid the flying snow, her eyes were filled with that graceful silhouette.
She finally understood why Yao Chen had reacted so strongly back then. Such talent and strength truly were terrifying.
She was only six or seven years old, yet she was already a Dou Shi. The Ice Element she wielded was terrifying to the extreme.
Before those Da Dou Shi experts could react, they were covered by drifting snow and became transparent ice sculptures. Only the deep-blue ghost flames still dancing within them proved that they were alive.
A thin layer of snow covered the area within a hundred meters, while countless ice sculptures stood all around.
Little Spirit gently lowered her arm, and the snowflake mark in her eyes flashed before vanishing.
Xiao Yi Xian walked over to Little Spirit, held her weak body in her arms, and said with a smile, "That was amazing!"
Little Spirit looked at the beautiful eyes beneath the worn mask, smiled faintly, and fell unconscious.
Liu Yan and Chi Han's understanding of their Little Ancestor had been completely overturned. It turned out they had never truly understood their Little Ancestor!
They had never understood the silver-haired, red-eyed little girl before them...
