Chapter 195 Questioning
Chapter 195 Questioning
-
Bound by the Sea of Spirits.
Shuang'er stood on the head of the spirit beast, pacing back and forth anxiously.
Seven days have passed since Guan Xun stepped into the snowy region again.
Since she returned to the Nine Palaces last time and brought food down the next day, she has waited here all day but has not seen Guan Xun.
After that, she stayed there and waited.
Yesterday, I was so anxious and worried that my young master might freeze to death in the snowy region, so I went to talk to the True Lords about it.
Strangely, although the True Lords were very angry, they seemed to have no concern for his safety whatsoever.
What is going on here?
Shuang'er racked her brains but couldn't figure it out, and she sighed heavily again: "Never mind."
Just as she was getting dizzy with anxiety, the invisible barrier next to her suddenly made a cracking sound.
Shuang'er looked on in astonishment and saw that the barrier had actually cracked open with a huge fissure, and then huge, sharp ice crystals shot out from it!
It stretched wildly out to sea, freezing the nearby seawater instantly and even turning the air into a frosty atmosphere.
The ice crystal pillar stopped just before it hit the small island, and billows of cold air rose up, making it seem as if tiny snowflakes could be seen wherever the mist touched.
Before Shuang'er could escape, the spirit beast beneath her feet was frozen stiff in place, leaving only its shiny forehead for her to stomp on.
She was shocked. What had happened?! An enemy had broken through the barrier and entered!
In a flash, she immediately transformed into her true form, intending to send a message.
"Hehe." A few soft laughs came from where the ice crystals had sprung up.
The voice sounded somewhat familiar. Shuang'er was stunned at first, then overjoyed. Wasn't this the young master's voice?
She's alright!
Guan Xun stepped through the barrier, his feet treading on ice crystals.
In the past few days, the Beast Core, Snow Lotus, and Celestial Fairy have been continuously absorbing and cultivating, and now her ice attribute technique has been mastered.
The ice of the snowy region could no longer harm her; no, to be precise, she rarely feared the coldness of the world.
All four of her attribute techniques are at the divine level, and their power when mastered is unimaginable.
With a flick of the finger, crystals are formed, freezing thousands of miles of land; this is the ultimate technique of the Profound Ice Art.
"It wasn't easy..." Feeling the abundant spiritual energy within his body, Guan Xun breathed a sigh of relief with a sense of satisfaction.
In this way, entering and leaving the snowy region becomes much simpler, and there is no need to constantly guard against the dark flames burning the snow lotus.
"Young Master!" The biting cold made Shuang'er shrink her neck. She didn't dare to go over rashly and could only wave and call out from below.
"You're finally back. Seven days have passed, and I thought something had happened."
Guan Xun looked at her amusedly: "What could possibly happen to me? Are you all afraid I'll run away?"
Upon hearing this, Shuang'er was stunned and didn't know how to respond.
When she reported her departure to the True Lords yesterday, she did hear some things about the young master running away. However, True Lord Nandou also said that since the God Venerable allowed the young master to freely enter and leave the Snow Region, he must have taken precautions in advance.
Shuang'er smiled faintly and shook her head: "Don't worry, young master will definitely not be willing to part with the God!"
"..."
Guan Xun was speechless, but... he couldn't bear to part with it?
Hmm, I really can't bear to part with her; she hasn't gotten her revenge yet.
Suddenly, the thunderclouds high in the sky began to change shape.
Guan Xun suddenly looked up and frowned. Someone was coming down. Could it be Xin Er and the others again?
As she wondered what was happening, the clouds were suddenly parted to the sides, and dark shadows enveloped the entire sky as several enormous giant kun slowly swam down.
Then, it obediently hovered high in the sky.
They were covered in a white film; they weren't patrolling demonic beasts, but rather creatures from the Nine Heavens Palace.
Several figures stood atop their heads. Before Guan Xun could even make out their appearance, Shuang'er, who had been smiling, suddenly changed her expression and, disregarding the icy ground beneath her feet, immediately knelt down on one knee.
She lowered her head and whispered a reminder: "Young master, they are several True Lords."
True King?
Guan Xun raised a single eyebrow and crossed her arms fearlessly. She was curious to see what these old guys were up to.
Do you think someone else has broken in? Or are you really afraid she'll run away?
"Well, you dare to break through the barrier and enter the snowy region without permission, and now you've caused such a commotion!" True Monarch Beiyi was already dissatisfied with Guan Xun, and now that he finally had a chance, he didn't care about the cause and effect and started to scold him.
"Heh." Guan Xun's lips curled into a sneer. "I received the God's personal permission to leave the Snow Region. What right do you have to criticize me? Do you perhaps want to be above your God?"
"You!" True Lord Beiyi blurted out in a moment of carelessness, forgetting that the other party was someone who wasn't afraid of trouble.
Given his status, how could he possibly be above the God-King?
He swallowed his anger, his old face turning bright red, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed and furious: "Sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued! How could I not be your turn..."
Before he could finish his angry rant, he was given a deep look by the True Lord Donglin beside him.
"..." He immediately fell silent, forced to swallow his anger.
"Your only purpose is to repair the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower every day, yet you have stayed in the Snow Region for a full seven days, daring to forget about repairing the flower. Do you know your crime?" True Monarch Donglin, as expected of the leader of the Four Monarchs, spoke slowly and calmly despite his deep anger.
Guan Xun narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the other two True Monarchs who hadn't spoken yet. His expression turned cold: "How ridiculous! What crime have I committed? This is an agreement between me and your Divine Lord. Even if I stay in the Snow Region for a month, you have no right to criticize me."
Such audacious words shocked the surrounding Cangkun creatures, leaving them wide-eyed in disbelief.
Shuang'er's heart leaped into her throat. How dare he openly refute the True Lord! As expected of the young master... he really has spirit. He remained so calm and composed in the face of questioning from the four True Lords.
"Insolence!" Donglin Zhenjun shouted coldly.
Nan Dou Zhenjun had been observing from the sidelines. He had never had a direct argument with Guan Xun, and they had only met once before in the Zhongmi Hall.
I originally thought that the other party was only so audacious because he was standing next to the God, so I plotted some things with True Lord Donglin a few nights ago.
Now it seems that this woman is indeed very bold, daring to talk back to them like that. She has a strong sense of self and is not a pretentious person.
perhaps……
"Donglin, wait a moment." Nandou Zhenjun's eyes were deep. He raised his hand to stroke his beard, and then began to transmit his voice to the person next to him using a secret technique.
The two old men passed the message back and forth, glancing at her every now and then, clearly conflicted.
Her actions were completely unconcerned about others, and Guan Xun naturally took them all in. However, the other party's cultivation level was much higher than hers, so even with her keen senses, she couldn't eavesdrop.
"Nonsense! Impossible!" Donglin Zhenjun's expression changed frequently. It was unclear what Nandou Zhenjun had said to him, but his emotions suddenly surged.
Nan Dou Zhenjun frowned and spoke again, seemingly discussing something.
Donglin Zhenjun pondered with a somber expression, and finally closed his eyes deeply: "So be it."
Surprisingly, no further difficulties were made. Guan Xun glanced at Nan Dou Zhenjun with a puzzled expression. He had never met this old man before. What kind of trick was he up to?
As she pondered in confusion, Donglin Zhenjun waved his hand and said, "Go back."
Without uttering any further words, the giant Kun beneath his throne obeyed the order and returned to the Nine Heavens.
The other two True Lords were both shocked and puzzled, but they couldn't say anything, since True Lord Donglin had a higher status than them.
With a sour face and a cold snort, he could only return angrily.
Guan Xun turned his gaze and it fell on Nan Dou Zhenjun, who was staring intently at him. Why hadn't this old man left?
"Come with me to the Zhongmi Hall," said the Southern Dipper True Lord.
Not sensing any malice from her, Guan Xun couldn't figure out what she was thinking. She neither refused nor agreed, but instead walked directly towards the island along the ice crystals.
He dripped blood onto the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower, then removed all the ice before leaping onto the top of Shuang'er's head, which had materialized into a phantom form.
"Let's go."
Without the slightest hesitation, it passed by the Southern Dipper True Lord and soared straight into the sky.
Nan Dou Zhenjun turned his head to look at his back, his eyes deep, and nodded to himself before following closely behind.
“Young Master, you don’t need to be too nervous. True Lord Nan Dou is always easy to talk to and will definitely not make things difficult for anyone,” Shuang’er suddenly whispered.
Upon hearing this, Guan Xun pursed his lips meaningfully.
Always easy to talk to? That's not necessarily true.
