Chapter 856: Chapter 242: Farewell to the Four Maids, Peace on the Homeland, Eternal Night Approaches, Immortal Realm Invites

Eternal Night, flying snow.

Meng Xingxian leaned forward, riding the wolf, rushing swiftly forward.

The other Wolf Riders were still immersed in the terrifying flash of the blade from earlier, shocked and fearful, unable to snap out of it for a long time.

Yet, she, being a woman, remained calm as usual.

The ice and snow gray wolf ran swiftly, but suddenly, an ice block protruded abruptly in front of the gray wolf.

The gray wolf reacted quickly and wanted to leap, but the protruding ice transformed into a hand, grabbing the wolf’s leg.

The gray wolf lost its balance entirely and stumbled forward, its head crashing toward the ground, letting out a "woo woo" sound while Meng Xingxian was flung out due to inertia.

The Barbarian Queen, however, rotated her body in mid-air, landed steadily, then stood up, her eyes fixed intently on the faint figure in the wind and snow ahead.

That was a quiet woman made of ice and snow, who else but Xiaozhao?

This was the only one left among the thirty-six Celestial Soul Xiaozhao after the battle between the Barbarian King and the Human Emperor.

"Nun."

The Barbarian Queen called out, then calmly asked, "Nun, have you come to kill me?"

The ice and snow Xiaozhao said, "Not to kill you."

Having said that, the ice and snow behind her automatically condensed, forming a chair.

She sat down and remained motionless.

Meng Xingxian understood; the nun was there to block her, to prevent her from going further.

Realizing this, she stood still, silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Nun, in just a mere three years, Eternal Night has expanded to cover nearly half of Cloud Mountain Path.

This progress is slow only because the Ghost Realm is just forming.

Once this Yin Qi fully merges, when the Yang Qi then integrates, the entire continent will be engulfed by Eternal Night!

I admit, I have not been righteous to the Barbarian King, I do indeed harbor ill intentions towards you, but... my thoughts are not wrong.

Whether for myself or for this continent, I am not wrong.

This time I enter the tomb, I only want to control you, so the Divine Tomb is no longer suppressed by you, but I absolutely have no intention of harming you.

You are the prodigy of this generation; your existence can change everything. Given that, how could I truly wish to harm you?

If I wanted to harm you, why would the one in the Divine Tomb teach you Celestial Soul Skill?"

Xiaozhao said: "That’s because I still have value for use."

Meng Xingxian was at a loss for words but after a while, said: "Nun, if Eternal Night arrives, it will be irreversible! Just now, the one with such capabilities, may I ask who he is?"

Xiaozhao said: "I won’t tell you, nor will I let you pass."

Meng Xingxian said: "Why?"

Xiaozhao angrily said: "Because you drove my father to death! I will never cooperate with you, give up that thought!"

Meng Xingxian:

"But nun, this is a special time, all the strong should join forces, at least... at least... we cannot let Eternal Night completely engulf this continent.

The Great Unity of Yin Yang is the end of the world!"

She shouted hoarsely.

Xiaozhao angrily said: "You drove my father to death."

Meng Xingxian still wanted to reason with the nun.

But Xiaozhao kept repeating, "You drove my father to death."

Meng Xingxian felt helpless, feeling as if all her words and reasoning were a one-person play performed in the air, filled with mixed feelings, with no solution.

...

On the other side.

Meng Xingxian’s words were being relayed verbatim to Li Yuan by "Messenger Xiaozhao".

"Father, do you want to see her?

Or should you ask what she plans to do?"

Li Yuan thought for a moment but shook his head, saying, "No truth in it."

Indeed, when he came, he did see that almost half of Cloud Mountain Path north of Sword Mountain was covered by Eternal Night.

From this, it can be fully deduced that as the Ghost Realm merges and the Meat Field frequently appears, the boundary line of Eternal Night will continue to move east.

At that time, the Human World will fall into ice and darkness without end.

However, the Eternal Night line will most likely have a limit because there is no Ghost Realm in Eternal Night.

Eternal Night cannot swallow such a large Ghost Realm and will naturally reach a balance at some point.

Of course, he believes the Divine Tomb has a solution, or at least can propose one, but the Divine Tomb is not trustworthy.

Once he opens that tomb, it will be like opening another "Gate of Turmoil".

Moreover, he knows that if he lets Xiaozhao come out of the Divine Tomb, then... he will never be able to return inside again, nor to control the Divine Tomb.

So, his decision was neither to refuse nor agree but to "avoid encountering".

As long as he does not "meet properly" with Meng Xingxian, then... they will not have any communication.

This conversation will be left for later.

So, he instructed Xiaozhao to hold back Meng Xingxian.

As for him...

He still had things to do.

Various thoughts and calculations flashed through as Li Yuan paused again before the White Deer Clan’s camp.

The Withered Fire’s temperature was even hotter, making the tent surrounded by gleaming white snow like a scorching desert.

Patrolling Wolf Riders quickly encircled but were repelled by Xiao Wu Ya.

These Wolf Riders also knew that today the Barbarian Queen had led a powerful army to block the Barbarian King at the tomb, but now... the Barbarian Queen didn’t come, yet this group returned, indicating that the result was likely the Barbarian Queen’s defeat.

Thus, the once-proud Wolf Riders suddenly became extremely cautious, lurking far away, while dispatching riders to gather news from the tomb from afar.

Li Yuan walked into the clan camp at ease.

He returned because earlier, during the Barbarian King’s departure, he saw some familiar faces.

He had thought these familiar folks had long passed away in the Western Pole, but unexpectedly, they were only aged, yet not gone. And more so, their health seemed good, clearly warmed by the Withered Fire of the Western Pole Land, and being former associates of the Barbarian King, they naturally received no poor treatment, having excellent clothing, food, housing, and travel.
