With the help of the power of the Gu You, Xiao Yan was able to pass through the cold wind without any hindrance. Under the terrifying high temperature of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, the cold wind around him had no chance to get close to Xiao Yan at all. It was kept far away from Xiao Yan in the void, more than ten feet away.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan's speed of movement was many times faster than before. Guided by Gu You, in just a few hours, Xiao Yan appeared in a dimly lit cloud of mist.
The clouds and mist around Zhou Tian were extremely dense. If one were to look at this place with the naked eye, it would be impossible to see anything beyond a meter. But at this moment, after the pale white Bone Spirit Cold Flame swirled around Xiao Yan's eyes, the world below gradually became clearer.
Below this cloud and mist lies a frozen world covered in snow. The thick snow proclaims the desolation of this place, and because of the dim light, the snow on the ground appears gray and dull, so much so that at first glance, it is not even recognizable as a snowfield.
Grayish-white clouds and mist created a gloomy world, making this place seem somewhat out of place with the outside world.
If an ordinary person saw this scene, they would probably think it was a desert.
At this moment, Xiao Yan, high in the sky, frowned slightly upon seeing the scene below. Judging by this desolate landscape, not only did others find it hard to believe, but even he himself found it difficult to believe, that this was truly the location of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.
With a slight frown and a hint of suspicion in his eyes, Xiao Yan asked Gu You:
" Elder Gu, are you sure this is really the location of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring?"
"Hehe, kid, don't worry, my senses are never wrong, this is indeed the location of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring."
Gu You chuckled, but spoke with absolute certainty.
Even so, Xiao Yan's furrowed brows did not ease. His eyes shifted slightly, and he asked Gu You again:
"However, the chill in this area isn't much different from other places; there's absolutely no different aura here! Unless..."
As he finished speaking, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly narrowed, a bright glint flashing in his pale pupils.
"Hehe, your guess is correct. Although the Ice Spirit Cold Spring isn't actually in this snowfield, it's beneath it. As long as you can enter the earth, you'll find the Ice Spirit Cold Spring. This is similar to the crack in the East Wall, which also originates underground. And I'm certain that the source of the cold wind is indeed the Ice Spirit Cold Spring!"
At this moment, Gu You gradually suppressed his joking mood and spoke to Xiao Yan in a serious tone.
As Gu You finished speaking, a fiery look once again appeared on Xiao Yan's face.
With a thought, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi instantly gathered in his palms. In a flash, he appeared above the snowy ground, raised his hands, and curled his fingers into claws, ready to slam them down onto the snow below.
"Etc!"
However, just as Xiao Yan's hand was about to strike, Gu You within his body suddenly spoke, forcefully stopping Xiao Yan.
The hand that was about to strike suddenly stopped in mid-air. Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly, his brows furrowed, and he asked Gu You voice:
" Elder Gu, what's wrong?"
"Boy, before you make a move, there's something I need to tell you. This Ice Spirit Cold Spring Ice Spirit Cold Spring clearly already belongs to someone. If you act rashly, you might be hunted down by its owner. Think it over!"
Gu You spoke in a deep voice, his tone slightly grave.
"Is it that woman named Bing Shuang?"
"What you think?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. If that were really the case, then it would be troublesome. To be regarded as an enemy by a powerhouse at the Origin Transformation Realm was no small matter for anyone, especially for Xiao Yan, who already had grudges against the Four Great Sects. If he were to provoke such a powerhouse, even Gu You would probably be powerless to protect him any longer.
"Damn it! The thing is right in front of me, am I really supposed to just give up like this?!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt a surge of anger. He snorted coldly, and the eerie white Heavenly Flames within his body surged from every pore, instantly turning him into a human Xiao Yan.
" Elder Gu, can you find out where that woman is now?"
"Hey kid, are you trying to rob us? That's not a wise move. You should leave them first. If anything happens to the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, they'll immediately think of you, and then..."
"But there's no other way..."
Before Gu You could finish speaking, Xiao Yan sighed helplessly and said...
"Heh heh, kid, who told you there was no way?"
However, upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Gu You chuckled in a completely different manner and said...
"Well?"
Xiao Yan was taken aback, a sense of doubt creeping into his heart, while Gu You chuckled again and continued:
"In my perception, those two little girls aren't far from us now. If you dare to forcibly take them, I guarantee that before you obtain the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, those two little girls will arrive here. At that time, you'll be in real trouble! Not only will you be hunted down by a powerful figure, but even the little girl's feelings for you will be erased."
Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan could only frown helplessly. As for the last sentence, he couldn't help but twitch his lips, roll his eyes in exasperation, and say in a deep voice:
" Elder Gu, just state your method clearly. As long as we can obtain the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, there's no need to say anything else."
"Heh heh, kid, you still don't want to admit it, do you...?"
Upon hearing this, Gu You chuckled, then quickly composed himself and said:
"This method isn't particularly difficult, but it's not easy either. The most crucial point is that it requires you to pay a heavy price!"
Hearing Gu You's words, Xiao Yan couldn't help but frown. A method that even Gu You would say so must be extremely difficult!
" Elder Gu, you say it is reasonable to pay a price in order to obtain the Ice Spirit Cold Spring. Bring it on!"
Xiao Yan slowly narrowed his eyes, his body trembled, and he stood in the void, a resolute look on his face, speaking in a powerful and resounding tone.
"Haha, good, I love your decisiveness in achieving your goals, even at the cost of your own ego. I'm certain I wasn't wrong about you. Go!"
Seeing this, Gu You also gave a low shout in a deliberately solemn tone, and then silence returned.
"Forehead..."
The silence of Gu You made Xiao Yan feel puzzled. He thought about the so-called price he had been promised, but it seemed that it hadn't actually come to pass.
However, in the next moment, Xiao Yan suddenly realized that something was wrong...
As Gu You fell silent, the eerie white flames within his body and his powerful Dou Qi rapidly dissipated. At the same time, the eerie white flames attached to Xiao Yan's body also abruptly disappeared.
Instantly, a terrifying chill that made Xiao Yan's Xiao Yan tremble descended upon his head...
"This... is... the price?!"
