78 – Enemies Meet
Song Zhijie nodded, and the two headed in the direction of the sword qi.
As they proceeded forward, they met more and more people, obviously also aiming for the Mirage Sea Ice Lotuses.
The surrounding temperature has decreased significantly, and faint cold qi spread.
Finally, a valley appeared ahead. There are many people standing in the valley, separated into three camps. These people are disciples of the three great sects.
The two soon reached the camp of Taixuan Sect.
As far as the eye can see, there is a huge lake below the valley, but the Mirage Sea Ice Lotuses are nowhere to be found. Fang Yi was a little surprised.
At this time, people in the camp of Taixuan Sect discovered Fang Yi and were startled.
“Fang Yi? Why did he come along? With his puny cultivation base, no matter who he faces here, he stands no chance.”
“Humph. Guess the achievements he had at Ten Thousand Jun Mountain went to his head.”
Everyone is familiar with Fang Yi. In the past two months, Fang Yi’s name has spread in the outer sect, especially after the trip to Ten Thousand Jun Mountain.
However, they clearly disapprove of Fang Yi coming here, feeling disdainful.
“Song Zhijie, what the hell are you doing? Why did you bring this guy? Will you look after him?”
The speaker is a young man with a square face, an indifferent look on his face.
This person is no stranger to Fang Yi. On the contrary, Fang Yi paid special attention to him. He is Chen Jizhou, whom Sun Ligang has mentioned. He is the one who put Sun Ligang and Fang Yi in the same team last time.
But Fang Yi still doesn’t know whether the other party was in on it or not.
Nevertheless, this person is obviously not a good-natured character.
“I wanted to come and take a look. Senior Disciple Brother Song is not to blame.”
Fang Yi naturally can’t let Song Zhijie be criticized, and so he spoke up.
“With your cultivation base, do you think you can get a Mirage Sea Ice Lotus? What nonsense.” Chen Jizhou mocked mercilessly.
“Enough!”
At this moment, Han Yuan interrupted, then glanced at Fang Yi and said, “This is no laughing matter. In a while, you mustn’t act blindly. Just watch from the sidelines. Otherwise, you will lose your life.”
Fang Yi nodded, aware that the other party said so out of kindness.
The trip to Ten Thousand Jun Mountain earned him a lot of favor among the disciples.
People arrived one after another.
They are basically all 11th layer and 12 Layer Spiritual Sea practitioners. Occasionally, Fang Yi saw a few 10th layer Spiritual Sea practitioners, who came to gain experience like him.
However, he didn’t see Feng Yiyi among these people.
Perhaps she doesn’t care about the True Origin Pill. As a genuine apex genius, she won’t need the True Origin Pill to condense the true origin seed.
“Strange, is it here or not?! Where are the Mirage Sea Ice Lotuses?”
Within the crowd, a person asked thusly. There were many who had the same misgivings as him, including Fang Yi.
“Don’t worry. According to the inner sect, the Mirage Sea Ice Lotuses only appear at noon, and only for one hour, before disappearing again. There is still some time left before noon, so be patient and wait.”
Meanwhile, disciples of the other two sects also arrived in succession.
One of them looks somewhat similar to Fang Wuxin. If Fang Yi were to see him, he would definitely recognize him. That person is Fang Wuji, Fang Wuxin’s big brother.
After Fang Zhuoyun returned from Ten Thousand Jun Mountain and told him that Fang Yi’s cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, he concluded that his younger brother was killed by Fang Yi.
For this reason, he wishes he could barge into Taixuan Sect.
But that would be tantamount to seeking death. And besides, the family’s great competition is around the corner, so he has to wait patiently.
But in the next moment, he found his enemy.
Suddenly, his eyes shot with blood and surged with murderous intent.
“Fang Yi!”
Fang Yi was taken aback. He didn’t expect to meet Fang Wuji here. His eyes congealed.
“Fang Yi, hand over your life.”
Fang Wuji bellowed, about to rush out.
Fang Yi didn’t shrink back. He drew his sword, ready to face the opponent. But then a figure stopped in front of him.
“Get back. Taixuan Sect won’t stand for such impudence.”
The speaker is Han Yuan. As if a great mountain, he stood between the two.
He waved his casually hand. In an instant, a berserk energy swept out.
As a leading figure of this group of Taixuan Sect, he can’t just sit idly by and watch.
Fang Wuji’s complexion changed greatly. He, who just reached 11th layer Spiritual Sea, is no match for the 12th layer Spiritual Sea realm Han Yuan.
“How imposing. Do you think disciples of Lieyan Sect are easy to bully.”
At this critical moment, a figure stopped in front of Fang Wuji. It is Lie Hui of Lieyan Sect, whom Fang Yi had seen at Ten Thousand Jun Mountain.
“The one with the surname Han, do you intend to fight me before the Mirage Sea Ice Lotuses have appeared?”
“I’m not afraid of a fight. And besides, it was one of your guys who picked a fight first.”
The two gave it tit for tat, neither backing down. Disciples on both sides had already drawn their swords.
Although some may not like Fang Yi, but at such a moment, no one can shrink back.
“It’s noon, look.”
At this moment, someone shouted, and the crowd quickly looked over.
A faint mist, which appears to come from the abyss, rose from the lake below the valley. It is extremely cold.
Despite the noon’s sunlight, the surrounding temperature suddenly decreased, making the people shiver from cold.
Snowflakes began to fall gently, and thick white frost began to spread on the earth around the lake, reaching the valley.
It’s snowing!
In an instant, summer seemed to turn into winter.
“The Mirage Sea Ice Lotuses are about to appear.”
Following this shout, the huge lake began to freeze at a speed visible to the naked eye, and ice lotuses slowly emerged, looking like delicate crystal clear ice sculptures.
When the lake was completely covered with ice, 1,000 ice lotuses appeared as if illusions, shining brightly and dazzling in the sunlight.
However, these ice lotuses look all the same, making it impossible to tell which ones are the Mirage Sea Ice Lotuses.
Swoosh!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Some people couldn’t wait anymore. At the moment when the ice lotuses condensed, several figures rushed over.
Kaboom!
There was a loud blare at the lake. When the figures stepped onto the lake’s surface, transparent monsters suddenly appeared.
These monsters are similar in shape to Ice Beasts, but they look even weirder.
“Retreat!”
Someone cried out. But, it was already too late.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The monsters that suddenly appeared are extremely powerful and tyrannical. In an instant, the several figures were smashed, and blood splattered on the spotlessly white ice, looking particularly eye-catching.
Of the dozen-plus figures, not one was able to escape, and most were killed in an instant.
A deathly silence rose in the air. The people who had rushed out, yet were a beat slower, stopped halfway, revealing the color of apprehension on their faces.
After the monsters were done with the killing, they disappeared, as if they had never appeared to begin with.
When they saw this, the crowd had bewildered looks on their faces. This clearly has exceeded their understanding.
