Chương 286: Li Yue'er's situation

When the movement stopped three minutes later, Long Feng felt dizzy, almost similar to when they had used the teleportation formation. He staggered backwards then looked around with a frown, noting that he was standing inside what seemed like a palace. His caution kicked in and he instinctively began to circulate his spirit energy.

"Tsk. You have good caution kid. That's good. Surviving in the mainland will be easier for you" The man standing before him smiled and approved. Long Feng sighed and withdrew his caution. What use would caution be against such a powerful man? He would blow his head off with a yawn.

"Sit. You have questions." The man say down on the ground before a steaming pot of tea that had already been prepared. Long Feng hesitated a bit then sat down as well.

"Go ahead, ask anything." The man leisurely poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it while staring at Long Feng. Long Feng hesitated and wondered what exactly he should ask. The first thing to know was who this man was. Everything else could come afterwards.

"Junior is curious, who is Senior. Why did you save me?" The man smiled and drowned the tea cup in his hand then out down the empty cup.

"I am Ao Zhentian from the Supreme Heaven Sect. As for why I saved you… just take it as I wanted to." Long Feng quietly repeated the name then memorized it for later.

"Senior, what is the Supreme Heaven Sect? And how is it related to the Supreme Heaven mystic realm we entered a few days ago?" He asked again.

"The Supreme Heaven Sect is a sect in the Eastern region of the Mainland. As for the supreme heaven mystic realm…" the man; Ao Zhentian smiled and opened his palm, revealing a rotating orb of light floating above his palm.

"This is it. It is a small copy of the true Supreme Heaven Mystic Realm, a training ground for geniuses. Perhaps you will have the chance to enter and train there in a few years once you join the sect." Ao Zhentian said with a smile as he returned the orb.

"Join the sect?" Long Feng already guessed this, but he was still filled with excitement and relief to hear this. At this point, he didn't care what star the force was, as long as he could use them to leave the continent zone. He would find his way in the mainland afterwards. Not to mention, this Supreme Heaven Sect seemed to be a strong force.

"That's right. Long Feng, Do you wish to follow me back to the Supreme Heaven Sect and cultivate as a disciple?" Ao Zhentian's expression became serious as he asked this. The majesty in his tone left Long Feng gasping for air inwardly. He was lost for words, so he quickly nodded his head twice.

"Very good. We will leave in a few days." Ao Zhentian nodded and stretched, taking back his seriousness.

"But… senior, I have a friend, she was taken by a female envoy. I wonder if senior knows her whereabouts?" Long Feng quickly asked. Li Yue'er's state had always been at the back of his mind. He knew that she was taken by a powerful envoy, yet he didn't know how she was doing, if she was safe or not. He naturally couldn't stop himself from worrying.

"Ah. That lady from the Frozen Empress Valley. Your friend was taken by her?" He asked.

"That's right senior."

"Hm. That's a surprise. I didn't think she would actually find someone. The Frozen Empress Valley are one troublesome group of people. Come with me. I'll take you to her. I suppose she should be leaving in a while." The man rose to his feet again. Long Feng's face immediately brightened and he stood up as well. There was no longer a need to feel much caution around this Ao Zhentian. He already possessed the strength to kill Long Feng if he wished to.

Since he hadn't done that, then he likely wouldn't suddenly change his mind later. And if by some chance he did, then… Caution wouldn't change anything would it? The scenery began to twirl again before Long Feng could react. This time, it lasted much shorter and stopped. His face was a bit pale from the extreme speed but he wasn't shaken as last time anymore. Looking around, they were standing in a beautiful valley that reminded Long Feng of time with old man Solitude. This valley looked quite similar to that one.

An overwhelming aura suddenly covered the sky and descended towards them. Even before the aura arrived, Long Feng felt his head already spinning again. Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.

"Hmph. Mu Binglan, you have quite the audacity to attack me!" Ao Zhentian snorted coldly and struck a palm at the sky, dispersing the terrifying aura.

"You trespass into my territory. Why wouldn't I attack you? If it was anyone else, they'd be dead." An icy voice replied as a pure white robes lady with flowing long hair stepped through the air and walked over, her jade like feet having no shoes as she stepped lightly.

"This isn't your Northern region. How is it called trespassing when the land doesn't belong to you?" Ao Zhentian asked expressionlessly.

"It's mine since I say it's mine. What brings you here? Don't tell me you rushed over to pick up a fight?"

"Heh. Pick up a fight? You aren't yet worthy." Ao Zhentian laughed. The temperature seemed to fall drastically as he said that and the lady glared at him with chip blue eyes.

"Try it." Ao Zhentian ignored the chill and continued.

"I heard that you found a new genius for the Frozen Empress Valley. It's such a a coincidence that I found a good kid as well, and they're acquainted. You won't reject to letting them speak before you leave right?" The lady's gaze briefly moved to Long Feng before she looked away. She naturally knew who Long Feng was, and due to some complications, she didn't have any good impressions of him. Long Feng let out a gentle breath after she looked away.

He had felt as though he was frozen and completely seen through when she briefly looked at him. Their unfathomable cultivations made him feel extremely insignificant.

'How strong are they exactly? Are all the envoys so terrifying?' He only felt pressure similar to this from the Yin Ghost Forest. No one else has given him such a terrifying feeling before it after that till now. As for Wu Kong, he was an entirely different case.

"She is in a critical point of her cultivation. She won't meet anyone." The lady replied coldly. Ao Zhentian immediately frowned.

"Mu Binglan, don't lie to me. I can sense her and she isn't in any cultivation state."

"Well I said she is and so she is. You can leave." The lady replied and turned to leave.

"Senior, I am Long Feng, Li Yue'er's friend. If you tell her about me I'm sure she'd meet me." Long Feng shouted out, trying one last attempt. He wouldn't be at ease if he left without confirming if Li Yue'er was doing good or not, especially when he couldn't even meet her. The lady ignored his words and continued to walk away without turning around.

"Long Feng, let's go." Ao Zhentian suddenly said gravely, his expression turning serious. He stared deep into the valley surrounded by fog then turned around and vanished, taking Long Feng as well. Deep in the valley, the lady; Mu Binglan appeared before a clear pond. The pond was extremely clear, so much that the bottom could be seen with a glance. There were no fishes or any living creature in the pond.

An extremely beautiful back figure rose in the pond, the pitch black wet hair spreading over the beautiful back and sticking to the jade like fair skin. The skin of the back was extremely delicate, and the remaining beautiful submerged body could be seen blurrily through the pond.

"That kid came over. I didn't allow him to meet you." Mu Binglan spoke slowly to the figure in the pond. The figure in the pond turned around, revealing an extremely beautiful face that would crumble nations down to their knees. She was Li Yue'er. Li Yue'er slowly fixed her hair. Her pupils appeared colder than before, but they looked distant.

"Was… he okay?" Mu Binglan glanced at her then replied.

"He looked fine to me. At least, he should be safe in the continent zone. He has a crazy person by his side. Even I won't be able to touch him." Li Yue'er let out a faint sigh of relief.

"Have you decided to cultivate the Ice Heart Manual?" Mu Binglan asked. Li Yue'er remained silent, not replying. This caused a frown to cross Mu Binglan's face.

"I don't understand what you're thinking. Your talent can only be fully unleashed by cultivating the Ice Heart. Your Constitution could also awaken, granting you immense power. Why do you keep resisting?" Li Yue'er still chose to remain silent, giving no reply. A few minutes of silence later, Mu Binglan sighed.

"Have you absorbed it?" Li Yue'er nodded gently and revealed a bit of her aura. If anyone from the Yihua continent senses Li Yue'er's aura, they would probably freak out in disbelief. Even Long Feng would be astonished. Mu Binglan appeared surprised as well.

"Rank three Imperial realm? That's more than I anticipated. Your constitution exceeded my expectations again." She nodded in satisfaction. Then remembering about the Ice Heart Manual issue again, she frowned.

"If only you'd listen and cultivate the manual. You could reach the peak of the Imperial realm in a month or two." Seeing that Li Yue'er wasn't willing to speak about that, Mu Binglan changed the topic.

"How much did your Ice Dao improve?" Li Yue'er withdrew her aura and released her ice energy instead. The pond instantly began to freeze and ice began to appear on several stones and grasses around. The area looked like a mini blizzard had hit the valley.

"Very good. You're a step away from forming your Ice intent. I told you, with your true constitution and the resources from the Frozen Empress Valley, you will soon leave all the trashes of this continent zone far behind. Within a few months, you should be ready to push for the deity realm!" Li Yue'er's eyelashes fluttered as she looked up. A second figure was floating in the sky, wearing pure white robes. The figure slowly descended, revealing a beautiful woman who wouldn't lose out to Mu Binglan.

She had large eyes and a beautiful smile. Compared to Mu Binglan who was like a frozen iceberg, this lady was like the extreme opposite. She landed gently beside Mu Binglan and smiled at her.

"That Ao Zhentian left quickly. I was expecting him to stir up some trouble." She said with a melodious voice.

"He probably sensed you. That's why he let. Otherwise he was ready to break in by force." Mu Binglan replied with the same cold tone. The woman wasn't bothered by the coldness. She sighed and turned to Li Yue'er.

"This Li Yue'er is extremely good. I'm sure the Valley Master will be glad to take her in as her Inheritor. In that case, she'll be our junior sister."

"Then master will have convince her to cultivate the Ice Heart. She refuses to listen to me for that kid with Ao Zhentian." Mu Binglan calmly replied. She didn't seem to have a single emotion other than anger.

"That kid? There didn't seem to be anything special about him? Do we need to…" the woman made a cutting motion across her neck and smiled brightly.

"It's not possible. Ao Zhentian is by his side. Even with you, I don't think we'll be able to touch him. Besides, he has probably joined the Supreme Heaven Sect. Those mad men will not let a disciple's death go." Mu Binglan quietly replied.

"There is no harming him. If anything happens to him, the Frozen Empress Valley can forget about having me as well." Li Yue'er spoke from the pond, casting a cold glare at the woman who was startled for a moment before she laughed it off.

"Relax girl. I was just joking around. But it's good to have some temper. That'll go a long way in protecting you in the Mainland. Get ready. We'll return to the Valley today."

Ao Zhentian took Long Feng far away before he stopped.

"You won't be able to meet the girl. I sensed her presence, but there was someone else in there. Someone strong. I don't wish to risk issues between our two sect by starting a fight." He calmly explained. Long Feng nodded and remained silent, aware that Ao Zhentian had already done enough for him. There was really no reason for him to have helped him again. And he noticed that even that Mu Binglan didn't seem to be a match for Ao Zhentian.

In that case, for someone even he considered as strong, then that person must be terrifying as well.

"Don't worry. The Mainland is big. You will definitely meet her someday. And if you're strong, you can barge into the Frozen Empress Valley. Hehe, let me tell you, the valley is overflowing with beautiful ladies of all criteria. It would be best if you can steal a few and escape." Ao Zhentian leaned over and whispered, leaving Long Feng startled.

"Alright. We'll leave after your genius meeting. It'll be a good experience for you. There are still a few days left until then. Let's go help you settle that chaotic foundation of yours."
