Chapter 864 - 286: Ominous Hexagram [Fire Scorches Wood]

Across the vast snowfield, the Snow Wolf King sprinted wildly, utilizing his keen sense of smell to locate clues of the relics around him.

Soon, he arrived near a pile of scattered ice shards.

This was the place where Shen Li and the Golden Toad once fought with those ice spiders.

And the scattered ice blocks on the ground were remnants from the battle between the two sides.

After sniffing carefully, the Snow Wolf King seemed to have discovered something.

He looked up into the distance and quickly ran several miles forward, then discovered the scratches left on the ice by the sharp legs of the giant ice spider when it fled.

With this discovery, the Snow Wolf King raised his head and let out a low howl.

Behind him, Xu Zhan and others immediately rushed over upon hearing the sound.

"Lord Xu, Young Master Chongzhen, there’s a presence from the Clan Chief here."

"The Clan Chief mentioned he had battled a group of ice spiders on the snowfield, these marks should be left by them."

After the group arrived, the Snow Wolf King revealed his discovery.

Xu Zhan and a few others gathered around to inspect closely.

"It should be correct."

"According to Sister Li’Er, she found the relic following a giant ice spider."

"Now we’ve found traces left by this giant ice spider, if we follow these trails, we should find the relic."

The Snow Wolf King lowered his head: "Let me investigate up front, adults, also be mindful of other clues around here."

Once he finished speaking, he ran straight ahead.

Above the snowfield, the white-haired girl had just arrived before the mountain range where Shen Li discovered the ice jade essence when she seemed to suddenly sense something.

In the next instant, her figure flickered, leaving behind a few snowflakes in the void, and reappeared elsewhere in the void.

Below, the Snow Wolf King was running with his head down, paying attention to the scratching marks left by the giant ice spider on the ice surface, unaware of the cultivator overhead.

"A snow wolf..."

"Though only at Fetal Breathing Perfection, it looks decent, and more importantly, matches my status."

"If captured and fed some good things, it should break through to Golden Core soon, barely making it a suitable mount."

As the girl muttered to herself, a hint of smile suddenly appeared on her cold and clear face, and her figure flashed, rushing straight at the Snow Wolf King below!

Only at this moment did the Snow Wolf King sense something amiss!

As he lifted his head, he realized the girl had already reached him, with a bright golden rope flying from her hand, directly targeting his head.

The Snow Wolf King’s heart was struck with terror, instantly attempting to dodge.

However, the golden rope was extremely quick; in the blink of an eye, the Snow Wolf King felt a tightness around his body!

Subsequently, all the demon essence in his body seemed to be confined by some odd power, unable to be mobilized.

The girl gracefully landed at a distance, her silver-threaded slippers flashed with a spirit light, her figure flickering twice, appearing before the Snow Wolf King.

"Who are you?"

"I am the mount of the Shen Family’s Sword Immortal, release me immediately!"

The girl paused in astonishment.

"Shen Family?"

"Never heard of it."

"Sword Immortal... is it very powerful?"

"Nascent Soul Realm?"

The Snow Wolf King was momentarily speechless, about to speak when he suddenly realized that this girl might be an extraterritorial cultivator!

Otherwise, in the entire Yangnao Land, who would not know of the Shen Family now?

Finished!

At this moment, the Snow Wolf King’s heart sank to the bottom.

The girl subdued him in one move, proving her cultivation was at least at Golden Core Realm.

Yet the Snow Wolf King acutely detected her question about his claiming Sword Immortal status, directly asking about "Nascent Soul."

This likely meant the girl before him was a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator!

"Lord Xu!"

"Escape quickly!"

Thinking of this, the Snow Wolf King dared not hesitate, immediately shouting loudly!

"Ah!"

The girl in front was startled by his sudden loud voice.

"Why are you, beast, shouting so loudly all of a sudden?"

The girl extended her slender jade-like fingers, lightly releasing a flow of light, directly sealing the Snow Wolf King’s mouth.

"Lord Xu..."

"You have companions?"

The girl whispered, her terrifying divine sense instantly releasing!

Afar, Xu Zhan and others were following the unique marks left by the Snow Wolf King.

At first, they heard the phrase "Lord Xu, escape quickly" carried by the cold wind, then before they could react, felt the domineering divine sense unapologetically sweep over them!

Unnerved by the horrific divine sense, everyone’s expression drastically changed!

"Is this... Purple Mansion or Nascent Soul!?"

As a body cultivator, Xu Zhan didn’t cultivate divine spirit, and his own divine sense wasn’t very strong.

Yet even so, he keenly sensed that the master of this formidable divine sense definitely had a far higher power than himself!

"Hurry up and go!"

In an instant, Xu Zhan, having reacted, immediately tossed out the Void Treasure Ship, hoping to send Shen Chongzhen and Wu Yuning away.

Leaving himself behind to possibly delay the opponent for some time.

However, just as the Void Treasure Ship was drawn out, a dozen yards away from them, appeared a girl bathed in the radiant spiritual charm of magical treasures.

Having previously interacted with Tribulation Fire Sect cultivators, Xu Zhan was aware that beings adorned entirely with magical artifacts and treasures like this were evidently not from Yangnao Land.

Once the girl appeared, she curiously surveyed Xu Zhan and the others first, then her gaze landed on the Void Treasure Ship behind them.

"Wow!"

"Fourth Grade Flying Magical Treasure!"
