Chapter 765: Chapter 542: Maiden in the Ice (Part 3)

If it weren’t for his extraordinary consciousness collection, he wouldn’t have been able to manage it.

After a few breaths, the Five-Colored Divine Light had already penetrated half of the solid ice, leaving only a thin layer between Lu Qian and Hai Shuangyao.

The next operation might be even more difficult; Lu Qian was about to rest and catch his breath when the transparent ice suddenly trembled softly.

Hai Shuangyao suddenly opened her eyes!

A crackling explosion sounded, and the solid ice instantly shattered. A brilliant blue light shot from her mouth straight at Lu Qian’s forehead!

Lu Qian shouted loudly, and in an instant, the Five-Colored Divine Light surged upwards, the stone walls of the chamber crumbled, and the brilliant blue light halted, then was crushed into dust within the divine light.

It was a slender flying needle!

Hai Shuangyao appeared surprised, but after this strike, Lu Qian’s spiritual power was exhausted, and he was unsteady. She yelled angrily again, raised her hand to attack, but heard a sharp whistle, as the Primordial Pearl flashed like lightning and shot straight at her.

Hai Shuangyao screamed loudly, her body shimmered with light, and another brilliant blue treasure pearl surged forward to meet the Primordial Pearl.

"Senior, stop!"

With a loud crack, the Primordial Pearl smashed Hai Shuangyao’s treasure pearl into pieces. Its slight pause combined with Lu Qian’s intervention finally stopped it in front of Hai Shuangyao’s forehead.

Hai Shuangyao’s face turned pale, and she exclaimed: "Spiritual Treasure!"

Lu Qian recalled the Primordial Pearl, and the Pearl Spirit spun gracefully downwards, coldly snorting at Hai Shuangyao.

Lu Qian then saluted: "Master Hanmu, we are here to rescue you."

Hai Shuangyao glanced at the Pearl Spirit again, patting her chest with lingering fear, and nodded.

"I believe you, such a figure with a spiritual treasure housing an artifact spirit, how could Mi Mengyin enlist such a big character?"

Mi Mengyin? Lu Qian had heard this name in reports, seemingly the nemesis of this Master Hanmu.

Truly deserving of the luxury cultivators from the Immortal Fall Islands; she instantly recognized the Primordial Pearl’s nature. With a slight sensing, Lu Qian realized Master Hanmu had already reached Golden Core Perfection.

Yet Hai Shuangyao seemed to have misunderstood, assuming Lu Qian was from some great power’s direct lineage, hence having such a bodyguard.

It’s commonly known that only a Void Refining True Monarch can nurture a spiritual treasure into an artifact spirit!

"Oh dear, your elder is truly generous. My great ancestral grandfather is so stingy; otherwise, I wouldn’t have been persecuted by that wicked woman Mi Mengyin."

"But among the islands’ one palace, one sect, two families, two schools, I don’t recall seeing you." Hai Shuangyao blinked her bright eyes, "Where are you a cultivator from? And how did you know I was trapped here?"

"Master Hanmu, though we’ve never met, we are old friends." Lu Qian said with a smile. "My name is Lu Qian, I am the Yunshan Sect Leader."

"Yunshan Sect?" Hai Shuangyao appeared puzzled, "Sounds familiar from somewhere."

Lu Qian continued, "I am Jiang Baitao’s senior brother, and the Nocturnal City in Cangzhou Tieyuan County is considered our sect’s property."

"Baitao? Nocturnal City?!" Hai Shuangyao finally reacted, exclaiming joyfully, "Ah, so we’re acquaintances!"

Before Lu Qian could speak, Hai Shuangyao had already hopped over, tiptoeing to pat Lu Qian’s shoulder.

"Thanks to you for saving me this time. That damned Mi Mengyin, I’ll make sure she pays!"

"So, how did the Zhenren end up trapped here?" Lu Qian asked.

Hai Shuangyao twisted left and right, stretched lazily, her body stiff from being encased in ice.

Upon hearing Lu Qian’s inquiry, she scoffed: "Fighting, of course."

"Mi Mengyin took my Jade Pot Ice Heart Infant Lotus Seed."

"This time I didn’t suffer at all." Hai Shuangyao’s eyebrows danced with joy, "I snatched her Dragon Palace Immortal Ascension Treasure Coupon."

"Oh, Dragon Palace—you don’t know, have you heard of the Overturning Ocean Real Dragon Celestial Monarch?"
