Venerable Martial Emperor

Nangong Yao's voice echoed in the night sky, full of unwillingness and resentment. No matter who it was that was about to win, it would not feel good if someone interfered and destroyed it!    

This was said to Xu Feng, but he was afraid that Nangong Yao didn't know that the Nangong family had been fighting him to the death for a long time. Xu Feng had only taught Nangong Yao a lesson along the way.    

"Will he die here today?"    

Xu Feng turned his head to look at Shangguan Jiajia and asked in a low voice. If Nangong Yao could die here, it would naturally be the best outcome. If not, the Nangong family's revenge on him would be even crazier in the future!    

Shangguan Jiajia shook her head gently and said, "Nangong Yao is a genius of the Nangong family's younger generation. He has a great reputation even in the entire Kuntian Domain. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to die here!"    

Xu Feng had already expected this outcome, but he didn't really care about it.    

" Boom! "    

With Nangong Yao as the center, a powerful explosion sounded. The remaining followers chose to self-detonate. The powerful Yuan energy explosion once again caused immeasurable losses to countless cultivators. Even Xu Feng and the others who were far away. In order to avoid being swept into it, they all retreated one to two kilometers.    

The Yuan energy dissipated for a long time. The corpses on the ground had all been cleaned up by the Yuan energy explosion just now. What was left on the ground now was only bloody ice fragments and a mess.    

However, Nangong Yao's shadow had disappeared without a trace.    

"Nangong Yao is dead?"    

This was the doubt in the hearts of all the cultivators. At the same time, many of them spread out the Divine Sense to search for Nangong Yao's Qi, but they didn't find anything.    

"He's not dead, he just escaped!"    

Shangguan Jiajia's tone was neither sad nor happy. After saying this sentence, then, he walked towards the Snow Cave. This was her goal - Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus, everything else. To her, it was not important as long as she could save her mother's life. She was willing to do it even if it meant going to a mountain of blades or boiling a pot of oil.    

With Nangong Yao's matter settled, Xu Feng didn't follow her. This time, they had reunited again. Shangguan Jiajia's feelings towards him had clearly lost their previous enthusiasm. Xu Feng was well aware of this, but he couldn't say it out loud.    

"After a great battle, only a few people survived. They really don't want to live for the sake of the treasure!"    

Looking around, there were only two to three hundred cultivators left. The remaining cultivators were all powerful experts without exception. Because the weak had long been dealt with by the strong!    

"Fellow Daoists from all over the world, listen to me!"    

Shangguan Jiajia's voice spread throughout the night sky. When all the practitioners' gazes fell on her, she continued, "This little girl, Shangguan Jiajia, is from the Shangguan family. This time, she has come to find the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus. It is my honor to be able to travel with you all."    

Her beauty was already devastatingly beautiful. At this moment, Shangguan Jiajia, who was under the moon... She looked even more holy, making many male cultivators. What? If Shangguan Jiajia asked them to sacrifice their lives, they would not hesitate at all - this was the charm of a goddess.    

"The Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus is a rare treasure that only appears once every thousand years. Those who are fated will live in it. However, I hope that those who are fated will be able to obtain the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus. Give me a portion. The Shangguan family will surely reward him handsomely. At the same time, the Shangguan family will owe you a favor. If there is any trouble in the future, the Shangguan family will definitely help you with everything we have!"    

The words of the Shangguan family caused an uproar among the cultivators. Shangguan Jiajia's conditions were too tempting. A generous gift and a favor. The most important thing was still a favor.    

It was not an exaggeration to say that as long as she had the Shangguan family as her shield, she would be able to do whatever she wanted in the Kuntian Domain. As long as it wasn't a big deal, with the power and influence of the Shangguan family, they wouldn't go back on their word.    

"Alright! We will definitely agree to Miss Shangguan's request!"    

Soon, some of the cultivators stood out and spoke. It was as if they had forgotten their purpose of coming here, and were wholeheartedly looking for the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus for Shangguan Jiajia.    

With someone taking the lead, the others also nodded their heads in agreement. In an instant, more than half of them were conquered by Shangguan Jiajia's charm.    

"This is truly a world that looks at one's face!"    

In the distance, Xu Feng let out a bitter laugh. Shangguan Jiajia had brought up her strongest rival, and now, she had even captured a large number of people's hearts. It was likely that Shangguan Jiajia definitely had a share of this Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus.    

Unlike the lively scene here, five or six kilometers away, a figure covered in blood restrained his aura to the extreme and looked at everything that had happened with resentment.    

"Stinky woman, one day, I will make you beg for death!"    

This person was Nangong Yao, who had escaped. This battle had not only caused him to lose his trusted aides, but also his trusted aides. It made him lose the initiative to fight for the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus. All of this was because of Shangguan Jiajia at the last moment. She had brought countless cultivators along with her, as well as the young man who had broken the Flowing Purple Flood Dragon Array.    

After observing for another seven minutes, Nangong Yao swallowed a Medicine Pill and sat cross-legged on the ground. He began to slowly heal his injuries - he would not escape. He wanted to heal his injuries and enter the Snow Cave to fight for the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus!    

He had failed this time, but he would never allow himself to be in such a sorry state. No matter what, he was still a genius of the Nangong family's younger generation. His pride would never allow him to run away with his tail between his legs!    

When the sky was slightly bright, all the cultivators had recovered to their peak condition. They also began to slowly enter the Snow Cave and began to search for the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus.    

Compared to the chaos last night, this time, it was obviously much more orderly. No one was scrambling to be the first to enter. Each and every one of them consciously lined up and advanced. As for Xu Feng, he slowly followed at the very back of the line.    

Just as Shangguan Jiajia had said, fate and people who were fated to know that Nangong Yao had schemed to monopolize it. In the end, Xu Feng made a false accusation and ran away with his tail between his legs.    

The Snow Cave was very vast, and it could accommodate two to three hundred practitioners. It was not crowded at all. It was very different from when Xu Feng used the Divine Sense to investigate. After entering the Snow Cave, it was pitch black, and there was no light at all. Xu Feng also spent a period of time before slowly getting used to the darkness here.    

The strange thing was that the temperature here was even lower than outside. Originally, the heat and coldness had nothing to do with cultivators, but in this cave, everyone could feel the chilly wind blowing.    

"Fellow Daoists, be careful. The cold air here seems to be able to affect one's mind. Everyone must keep your mind clear to prevent any accidents from happening!"    

Shangguan Jiajia's voice sounded in the night. She quickly found the key to the problem and kindly reminded everyone. As expected, after everyone calmed down, the cold feeling gradually disappeared.    

The cave continued to extend downwards. It was so deep that one could not see the bottom. Occasionally, the sound of dripping water would fall and become the only sound in the silent cave.    

"Whoosh!"    

A rustling sound was heard. Suddenly, a white shadow dashed out of the cave and swept away a cultivator. It disappeared before it could even make a sound.    

"Wow!"    

The silent cave exploded in an instant. After the Snow Giant Lizard was killed, everyone thought that the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus no longer had the powerful Demonic Beast guarding it. It would be very easy to find it. However, they never expected that some unknown demonic beasts would attack them.    

"Buzz!"    

A golden light lit up. Only now did the cultivators clearly see what was happening inside the cave - the light of the wall being polished. On the walls, there were densely packed mouths, and the holes were about eighty centimeters long. They could not see the bottom at first glance.    

The unknown Demonic Beast had obviously escaped from these holes and ambushed everyone.    

"Ah!"    

A miserable cry was heard, and a cultivator fell straight to the ground. He foamed at the mouth and soon lost his life. It turned out that he wanted to try to dig the Divine Sense deep into the cave and investigate it. Unexpectedly, the moment the Divine Sense came into contact with the cave's entrance, it received a powerful attack. It shattered his sea of consciousness and killed him!    

"Attention everyone, don't casually release the Divine Sense to investigate!"    

Shangguan Jiajia reminded once again. Everyone did not dare to relax in the slightest and gathered their essence energy one after another to protect themselves. Then, they continued to advance step by step.    

"What kind of secrets are hidden in this cave!?"    

Xu Feng, who was the last to walk, carefully observed the cave on the wall. Something seemed to have sounded, but he could not catch it.    

"Ah!"    

However, there was another miserable cry in front of him. It was the same scene. With a flash of white light, that cultivator had disappeared without a trace.    

Perhaps the first time was an accident, but the second time, the third time, this kind of situation kept appearing. The cultivator gradually exploded.    

The ancient people said that death was not scary. Waiting for death was the most terrifying thing. At this time, facing the unknown Demonic Beast, there were already many cultivators who wanted to retreat. Facing the tyrannical Snow Giant Lizard, they would not be afraid. No matter what, it would be a fair and square fight. Now, facing this ghostly Demonic Beast, it was slowly tormenting their minds. This was what made them even more afraid.    

"Quick! Let's get out of this cave!"    

Some practitioners impatiently urged the practitioners in front of them. If they stayed here for even a second longer, their lives would be in danger.    

"No, I'm not going. I'm going out!"    

Some cultivators turned around and rushed out. They hadn't even seen the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus yet, but there was already such a strange Demonic Beast appearing. When they truly saw the Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus, they simply didn't dare to imagine what kind of scene it would be like to take it back.    

Under the circumstances where these two groups of cultivators held different views, the cave gradually became chaotic.    

The white silhouettes seemed to have been paying attention to their every move. Taking advantage of the chaos, five or six black silhouettes appeared once again, taking away a few cultivators.    

There was more than one Demonic Beast!    

This reverse caused the hope of the cultivators who originally still had hope to be destroyed in an instant. They also joined the retreating army. In a short period of time, the cave became even more chaotic.
