“Thank you…”

At the instant they rushed into the tunnel, Phantasmal Shadow wanted to thank Happy, but she did not expect that a surge of cold air would rush into her lungs. Her pretty face turned pale, and she subconsciously shuddered. Her qi froze on the spot because of the cold that invaded her body, and it even went straight to her Dantian region. If her qi had not been circulating continuously, she might have been frozen on the spot.

‘It’s too cold!’

The others were also so cold that they curled up on themselves. They kept on circulating their qi to fight against the chill, and they simply had no time or energy to talk. They fought against the cold around them with pale lips and chattering teeth so that their blood would not freeze.

Happy was in a better condition. With Nine Yang Divine Skill protecting him, he was safe.

The others had a layer of clear white ice quickly form on their bodies, and white vapor could even be seen coming out of their hair.

Some of the Wind a.s.sault Tower elites who had weaker qi were in a really bad condition. Once their qi was no longer enough, their movements stiffened, and even their feet were covered in ice. They had to use up a lot of strength to move. The requirements for qi by then were even greater, but they could not even use their weapons, or else, even their hands would freeze.

When Happy saw that, he quietly circulated Nine Yang Divine Skill!

Boom!

His qi rushed into his Dantian region, and it started boiling like boiling water. Layers of red light and heat that could be seen with a naked eye swiftly appeared around him.

Even though doing this seemed useless, Happy was able to create some warmth in the cold, and the people around him were suddenly able to release a breath of relief after feeling suffocated.

Phantasmal Shadow and her group watched Happy in surprised delight as he shone like a furnace. It was as if they just discovered a heater in winter, and they subconsciously surrounded him.

His qi came to him in waves!

Happy was still urging his qi to swim outward, and the heat gradually gathered from his body to his arms, then slowly spread outward. The fire red light became clearer and brighter.

The heat around it also increased.

The ice at his feet melted away to leave behind a footprint!

The ice on the people around him also melted away, and they gradually regained their qi circulation speed and their mobility.

“Let’s go.”

Happy did not say anything else. He left behind two simple words and walked in front.

Phantasmal Shadow and the others might not be from Mu Clan, but they unanimously followed behind him. They trailed in the warm region he created and entered the depths of the ice tunnel.

Phantasmal Shadow looked around before she broke the silence in the party as if she came to a realization. “This shouldn’t be natural. It must be a structure Sky Demon Sect intentionally created to fight against the Fire Qilin…”

“True.”

Momo cast Phantasmal Shadow a glance and nodded.

The floor was smooth, and the chill piercing to the bones. Even though the group had Nine Yang Divine Skill opening the path for them, it was still difficult for them to move forward. They were very slow.

“There was an evil cult great elder and the Fire Qilin in the other tunnel, so there’s no way to guess what is over here,” Momo said indifferently. She sounded as if she was just calling the others’ attention to it, but in truth, she was reminding Happy not to waste too much qi.

Even though they seemed like they were currently together with Wind a.s.sault Tower, there was still a high chance that they would run into danger. It would not be good if they had many burdens with them.

“There’ll definitely be danger.” Happy understood the underlying meaning behind Momo’s gaze, and he answered heartily without batting an eye. “But unless we run into Myth Realm elites in such a horrible environment, no one would be able to bring out their full strength. Don’t worry. We just need to continue moving forward. If we really run into any danger, we should be able to handle it.”

“True.” Wu Kuo nodded in agreement.

Phantasmal Shadow and the others followed beside Happy and did not say anything. Once they were safe, they remembered the matter of running into the Fire Qilin in the tunnel, along with their dead friend, and they felt really gloomy.

Even though they had gained a lot in their trip to Sky Demon Sect, it would not mean much if they sacrificed something in turn and did not have any of their own die. However, one of them had died, and the rewards they gained previously instantly became insignificant.

Wind a.s.sault Tower was a developing large sect. If one top-cla.s.s elite of theirs died while their training progress came to a screeching halt, it would have negative effects on the sect. Besides, they were not like Cla.s.s One Hall and could not give Illusion Life and Death Pills to their elites as if they were water.

However, their sadness only lasted for a moment.

When the temperature around them turned warm, Phantasmal Shadow comforted her group softly, and they gradually left the gloominess that shrouded them previously. Their fighting spirit returned.

“Huh?”

Momo suddenly frowned and stopped moving while scouting ahead. She listened for a while and gave a quick report to the group behind her.

“I seem to hear water. We should be there now.”

Once the group traveled for a while, they noticed that the puddles of water on the ground in the tunnel ahead of them seem to be increasing in number. The sounds of running water also turned from vague to loud rumbles.

“I think it’s a waterfall.”

Phantasmal Shadow frowned, and puzzlement appeared on her face. They were in the heart of a mountain, so how could there be a waterfall before them?

She did not expect that once she took a turn, the area in front of her would become clear and wide. There was a white water curtain roaring loudly and continuously ahead of them. The fog that was created due to the water vapor rising up from the splashes, along with the rumbles, made the place incredibly majestic and astonis.h.i.+ng.

“I’ll go scout ahead.”

Wu Kuo grabbed his weapon. The place had room temperature, so he was no longer afraid.

Happy drew his Nation Protecting Divine Sword from his Universe Bag and strode toward the waterfall. “Since we’re here, we might as well make the best of it. We already survived the Fire Qilin, so what else should we be afraid of?”

Once he said that, he charged forward like a flying arrow and shot through the rumbling waterfall.

Whoos.h.!.+

The large and loud waterfall fell on him heavily, but it did not make him fall to his feet. All of it was pushed to the side by his Golden Bell Coc.o.o.n, and in a flash, he shot through the water curtain.

His body became light!

The area ahead of him became brighter and more s.p.a.cious very suddenly.

Happy saw a faint green lake that was incredibly clear.

Thud, thud!

He tapped against the ground and moved like a light swan. With astonis.h.i.+ng ease and familiarity, he stepped on the surface of the lake, causing endless ripples to form on it before he landed on the other side of the bank, which was more than ninety-eight feet away.

On the other side of the lake was a majestic and stylish training ground. More than one hundred young evil cult disciples sparred against each other in pairs while they sweated bullets. Their weapons roared, and light as well as shadows intersected with each other nonstop. It was as if they did not notice that an unfamiliar figure had appeared on the bank of the lake 328 feet away.

Happy did not bother the evil cult disciples who were at the training ground. He just stood in place with his sword while his gaze swept past the group of evil cult disciples at the training ground and landed on a row of magnificent golden palaces in the distance.

There was a huge golden bell above one of them.

Happy knew that the evil cult disciples would only snap out of the daze they were in after forgetting themselves in their sparring when the golden bell rang. At that time, he would have to face not only the disciples in the training ground, but multiple evil cult elders who were nearby.

While Happy was reminiscing about the battles he experienced in his previous life in Sky Demon Sect, whoos.h.i.+ng sounds rose repeatedly behind him. Robes fluttered in the air, and Momo landed behind him. She was followed by Phantasmal Shadow, Wu Kuo, and the others.

“Huh? Three palaces and three halls?”

Phantasmal Shadow quickly noticed the harmony and quietness of the place. She looked around and instantly became solemn. “By the looks of it, there are quite a number of people and elders from the evil cult here! If we alert all of them, it will become difficult to handle the situation for the seven of us here.”

With just one sentence, she exposed the danger lurking in the valley.
