The Silver-Haired Girl in the Ice Crystal

"Flame Blade?" Song Shuhang asked, puzzled.

Wait a minute, he didn't activate the Flame Blade!

Chu Kangbo, standing to the side, asked anxiously, "Young friend, what are you doing?"

Song Shuhang: "I didn't do anything."

As they spoke, the flames on the Overlord Shatter Saber Blade, burned ever brighter, and a faint aura of divine might emanated from the flames.

"Tribulation Fire!" Song Shuhang suddenly realized.

This flame is not the true fire generated by the Flame Blade, but the Tribulation Fire!

He quickly picked up the Overlord Shatter Saber, and tried to move it off the ice crystals.

The Tribulation Fire is no joke; if it were to accidentally injure Li Yinzhu inside the ice crystal, how could Song Shuhang bear it?

However, when Song Shuhang tried to lift the Tyrant's Overlord Shatter Saber, it didn't budge.

The ice crystals acted like a magnet, firmly attracting the Flame Blade to them. Even with Song Shuhang's Second-Grade cultivation level and arm strength, he was unable to lift the Overlord Shatter Saber.

"What's going on?" Chu Kangbo hurriedly stepped forward, supporting Song Shuhang's arm, and channeled a surge of spiritual energy to help Song Shuhang.

However, when Chu Kangbo poured his spiritual power into it, the Tribulation Fire on the Overlord Shatter Saber Ba Sui became even more intense, Blazing Fire.

Song Shuhang and Chu Kangbo simultaneously released their grip and retreated to avoid being injured by the Tribulation Fire on their blades.

"Is this Tribulation Fire left over from last time?" Song Shuhang murmured.

The original owner of the Overlord Shatter Saber was Ba Qianjun, the sect leader of the Moon Saber Sect, a Fourth-Grade Cultivator who had suffered from the torment of Tribulation Fire. In the end, with a gentle wave of Song Shuhang's 'Three-Star Fire-Control Fan', he, along with his robes and token, were all burned to ashes by the Tribulation Fire.

At that time, the Overlord Shatter Saber, was in Ba Qianjun's hands, burning together with the Tribulation Fire. When Song Shuhang picked up the Overlord Shatter Saber, the entire sword was blackened by the Tribulation Fire.

Unexpectedly, a wisp of Tribulation Fire was hidden within the Overlord Shatter Saber. It was only now, stimulated by the chilling aura of the icy crystals, that it was activated.

The Tribulation Fire roared and covered the entire ice surface.

No, if we let the Tribulation Fire, the entire ice crystal might be destroyed.

Song Shuhang gritted his teeth and reached out to grab the Overlord Shatter Saber —the hilt of the sword was not yet stained with the Tribulation Fire, making it easy to grasp with one hand.

Chu Kangbo frowned and said, "Young friend, be careful. The Tribulation Fire is no joke."

However, just as Song Shuhang reached out to grab the Overlord Shatter Saber, the Tribulation Fire on the blade seemed to have run out and suddenly went out!

Shuhang grabbed the treasured sword. Without the Tribulation Fire, the Ice Crystals no longer had that 'gravity' on the Overlord Shatter Saber, and he easily lifted the sword.

The ice crystal was only partially burned by the Tribulation Fire, turning into icy water that flowed down. The interior remained as hard as iron, emanating a chilling aura. The Tribulation Fire did not harm Li Yinzhu inside the ice crystal.

Song Shuhang breathed a sigh of relief.

After confirming that the ice crystal was unharmed, Song Shuhang bowed to Chu Kangbo and said, "Senior Chu, the package has been delivered, and I have retrieved the Spirit Ghost. Therefore, I must take my leave now."

Mom Song and the others were still worried about their 'plane crash,' so it was better to go home as soon as possible to let them know they were safe and put their minds at ease.

At the same time, Song Shuhang activated his true energy to melt the layer of ice crystals that enveloped the Spirit Ghost. After the ice crystals separated from Li Yinzhu's ice coffin, they lost the support of the 'cold energy' and turned into ordinary ice blocks, which melted immediately when activated with true energy.

After escaping from the ice crystals, the Spirit Ghost trembled for a moment before quickly burrowing back into Song Shuhang's Qi Sea Dantian, refusing to come out again. Since Song Shuhang advanced to the Second-Grade Realm, the Spirit Ghost had two homes: it could remain in Song Shuhang's Heart Aperture or enter his Qi Sea Dantian.

"Please wait a moment, young friend!" At this moment, Chu Kangbo spoke up to persuade him to stay, "While you are here, why don't you come with me to the Chu Household Grounds? I can give you the map of that 'Forbidden Land,' as well as the information that Fellow Daoist Li and I explored before."

That Forbidden Land was where Li Tiansu paid for his life.

Chu Kangbo glanced furtively at the frozen Li Yinzhu, thinking that perhaps the hope of saving his old friend's daughter lay in that Forbidden Land area.

If that Senior White and this young friend Song Shuhang can find a way to cure Li Yinzhu after exploring that 'Forbidden Land,' they can save the life of the deceased woman's bloodline.

"Alright." Song Shuhang nodded.

Since we're here, let's take the map of the 'Forbidden Land' with us.

Perhaps, considering the 'Forbidden Land Zone Map,' Senior White might allow his 'Universe One-Month Journey' to return early?

Try to think positively about everything!

While Song Shuhang and Chu Kangbo were chatting, his phone rang.

He took out his phone and saw that it was a call from True Lord Yellow Mountain.

Has the True Lord finally remembered him? Song Shuhang was in tears—he still hadn't taken off his cassock.

True Lord Yellow Mountain's gentle voice rang out. "Hello, is this young friend Shuhang?"

"My True Lord, I've been waiting for your call for several days now," Song Shuhang.

"Heh, hahaha. I've been tormented by this clingy Little Doudou these past few days, hehehe, it wasn't easy to finally get rid of it." There was a sense of great pride in True Lord Yellow Mountain's tone.

Doudou, will you end up in a dog meat hot pot?

"Ahem, I've got the password to your robe. I'll send you the picture; please receive it. That's all, goodbye." With that, True Lord Yellow Mountain hung up the phone—it seemed the True Lord was busy with something.

Soon, Song Shuhang received a multimedia message.

The above is the method for deciphering the kasaya.

Following the instructions on the picture, Song Shuhang pressed the Jade-Green Kasaya.

Thud The damned robe finally fell off him.

As the robe fell away, Song Shuhang felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart, and he breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Chu Kangbo waited silently until Song Shuhang took off his cassock before speaking, "Then, young friend, please come with me to the Chu Household Grounds."

Song Shuhang draped the cassock over his hand. "Please lead the way, Senior Chu."

Chu Kangbo reached out and carefully used his spiritual power to lift the ice crystal, placing it on a prepared trolley, intending to push it back to the Chu Household Grounds.

The ice crystals, supported by spiritual energy, gently landed on the cart.

Bang! The entire ice crystal trembled slightly as it fell.

Then, Chu Kangbo and Song Shuhang saw a crack appear on the ice crystal, and then more and more cracks appeared on the ice surface like a tortoise shell.

Song Shuhang, "This has nothing to do with me, does it?"

"I placed it very gently," Chu Kangbo said at the same time.

Click click click...

The entire ice crystal began to shatter.

"Could it be that Li Yinzhu inside has woken up?" Song Shuhang guessed—the cold energy in Li Tiansu's daughter's body wasn't always in a 'sick' state.

After the onset of the cold, it will also lie dormant for a period of time. During this dormant period, Li Yinzhu can move around like a normal person, except that her body temperature is a little low and she is particularly afraid of the cold.

Is now the time when her chilling aura begins to lurk?

"Very likely," Chu Kangbo nodded, as he was also familiar with Li Tiansu's daughter's condition.

Indeed, just as the two had guessed, the terrifying chill on the ice crystals began to recede, and the entire ice coffin transformed into an ordinary block of ice.

Soon, all the ice on the ice coffin shattered, revealing a small, ball-shaped, silver-haired girl inside, dressed in thick clothing.

After Li Yinzhu emerged from the ice, she was shivering uncontrollably, with ice fragments still clinging to her hair and body.

She opened her eyes... and not only had her hair turned silver-white. Upon closer inspection, her eyelashes and pupils had also turned silver-white.

Just like a porcelain doll, exquisite and adorable.

Each time Li Yinzhu fell ill, it would last anywhere from seven or eight days to several months, during which the cold energy in her body would automatically recede, allowing her some time to move freely. But this time, her condition was too severe, directly forming an ice coffin. Her father, Li Tiansu, worried about her condition, sealed the entire ice coffin away.

As a result, it wasn't until the seal was broken that the cold energy within her body subsided, allowing her to emerge from the ice coffin.

"Hiss~ Hiss~" Li Yinzhu curled up into a ball, making weak cries.

When Song Shuhang saw the trembling little girl, a feeling of heartache welled up in his heart—it wasn't just his kind-hearted nature acting up.

Rather, it was because he had once entered into the dream of 'Li Tiansu' and experienced Li Tiansu's marriage and raising his daughter. Therefore, when he saw Li Yinzhu trembling, he couldn't help but feel a little emotionally involved.

"Do you have any dry towels?" Song Shuhang asked immediately.

A Chu Household handed over a thick, dry towel.

Song Shuhang stepped forward and skillfully picked up the shivering Li Yinzhu, carefully wiping away the ice crystals from her hair, face, and neck with a dry towel—his movements were as smooth as flowing water, as if he had done it hundreds or thousands of times.

At the same time, Song Shuhang frowned and glanced at Li Yinzhu's clothes.

These garments were originally intended to be magical robes or similar items that could provide warmth to their wearers.

But now, these robes have lost all their warmth due to the chill emanating from Li Yinzhu's body. Having been frozen in ice crystals for so long, the clothes are now as cold as ice.

We need to change her clothes first.

Song Shuhang took out his Jade-Green Kasaya and covered Li Yinzhu with it. He then turned to Chu Kangbo and said, "Senior Chu, please have a female disciple of the Chu Household wipe the child's body and change her into warmer clothes."

Chu Kangbo nodded and instructed his two female disciples to come over and take Li Yinzhu to change her clothes.

Two female disciples stepped forward, reaching out to take the silver-haired little girl from Song Shuhang's hands.

However, Li Yinzhu's eyes suddenly widened in terror. She clung tightly to Song Shuhang, shrinking her entire body behind him. Then, she trembled even more violently.

The two female disciples of the Chu Household smiled slightly awkwardly.

Song Shuhang looked at the girl clutching his clothes, a thought striking him. He glanced at the Ancient Copper Ring on his finger. Was it this ring that made Li Yinzhu subconsciously approach him?
