195: Venerable Han Li
Above the ice plain, there was a deathly silence.
That human-shaped indentation was seared into the eternal profound ice, and also into the hearts of Xiao Senior Apprentice and Bai Yaoyi.
Both of them froze in place, even forgetting to breathe.
Neither of them saw how Lin Feng had made his move.
"Daoist Brother... what is the meaning of this?"
Xiao Senior Apprentice's voice was a little dry. He suppressed the shock in his heart, staring intently at Lin Feng, his Magic Power circulating wildly within him, ready to strike at any moment.
"This is the Xiao Ji Palace!"
Lin Feng didn't even lift an eyelid, his tone as calm as if he were stating a trivial matter.
"This woman offended this Seat, I merely taught her a small lesson on behalf of her Elder."
A small lesson?
Xiao Senior Apprentice's heart tightened. He could feel the danger from the man before him; that calmness made one's heart palpitate.
His Divine Sense swept underground, detecting that while Leng Senior Apprentice's aura was chaotic, it had not dissipated, so she was clearly still alive.
This made him hesitate for a moment.
Was it worth it to offend a mysterious Cultivator of unfathomable strength for a living fellow Disciple?
"Boom!"
Just as he hesitated, the profound ice beneath his feet suddenly exploded.
A disheveled figure, enveloped in soaring resentment, burst out of the ice pit.
It was none other than Leng Senior Apprentice.
At this moment, her hair was disheveled, her palace dress covered in ice shards and cracks. On her once beautiful face, a clear red five-finger mark was swollen high, and a trace of blood hung from the corner of her mouth.
Her entire body was trembling, not from cold, but from extreme anger and humiliation.
That slap had landed directly on her face!
"Xiao Lang!"
She let out a shrill, distorted shriek, her eyes bloodshot as she glared at her Dao Companion.
"What are you standing there for! Kill him for me! Kill him!"
Xiao Senior Apprentice's brows furrowed tightly, but looking at the slap mark on his Dao Companion's face, anger also rose in his heart.
Although the Xiao Ji Palace was detached from worldly affairs, it was still a top Sect in the Great Jin. When had a Nascent Soul Cultivator within its gates ever suffered such a humiliating slap in the face?
Moreover, this place was at the entrance of the Xiao Ji Palace.
The Palace Master's Divine Thought could cover this area at any time, and the Grand Elder presiding over the palace was certainly not just for show.
For an outsider Cultivator to dare to commit violence here was simply courting death!
Thinking of this, Xiao Senior Apprentice's heart settled, and his gaze became sharp.
"Audacious madman! How dare you commit violence and harm people in the Xiao Ji Palace!"
Before his words finished, he slapped his Storage Pouch, and two streaks of spiritual light shot into the sky.
One was a completely azure ice crystal Flying Sword, its Sword Qi chilling, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet again.
The other was an ancient blue small shield, with ice flame patterns carved on its surface, emitting a heavy aura.
One offense, one defense, both were top-grade Magic Treasures!
He clearly wanted to finish the fight quickly, to subdue this madman with the force of a thunderbolt, so as to regain face before the Palace Master and the Elder.
"Bai Junior Sister!" Xiao Senior Apprentice shouted sternly, "Quickly, join me in striking, take down this person, and atone for your mistake!"
His voice was like a heavy hammer, striking hard at Bai Yaoyi's heart.
Bai Yaoyi's delicate body trembled, and she subconsciously looked at Lin Feng.
That handsome face was still calm, and there wasn't even a ripple in those deep eyes.
Qinglian Daoist Brother had clearly stood up for her just now, suppressing that Leng Senior Apprentice who had constantly made things difficult for her with a single palm.
And her Senior Brother, from beginning to end, had he ever said a word for her?
Now, he even wanted her to join forces with him to deal with Qinglian Daoist Brother.
Bai Yaoyi seemed to understand something in her heart.
She lightly bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, flipped her jade hand, and a resplendent jade ruyi scepter also appeared in her palm.
Seeing Bai Yaoyi also conjure her Magic Treasure, Xiao Senior Apprentice was overjoyed.
"Good! Bai Junior Sister, move!"
He unhesitatingly chanted a spell, and the ice crystal Flying Sword emitted a clear sword cry, transforming into a blue lightning bolt that tore through the air, heading straight for Lin Feng's head.
And the next moment, Bai Yaoyi, who was behind Lin Feng, indeed moved.
The jade ruyi scepter glowed brightly, and a seven-colored ray of light burst forth.
However, the target of this ray of light was not Lin Feng.
"Clang!"
A loud clang of metal on metal.
The seven-colored ray of light accurately struck the ice crystal Flying Sword. The two Magic Treasures collided fiercely in mid-air, erupting with dazzling spiritual light, and both were sent flying.
Xiao Senior Apprentice was completely stunned, his face filled with disbelief.
"Bai Junior Sister? You... what are you doing?"
Leng Senior Apprentice, seeing this scene, seemed to have grasped a huge handle on Bai Yaoyi and burst into a sharp, mocking laugh.
"Xiao Lang! Why are you still wasting words with this traitorous bitch!"
"She's long been infatuated by this pretty boy! Quick! Take down this pair of adulterers together!"
As the vulgar words entered her ears, Bai Yaoyi's pretty face flushed crimson, her body trembling slightly with anger.
But she did not shrink back; instead, she took a step forward, shielding Lin Feng behind her.
At this moment, all her nervousness and unease seemed to vanish.
"Qinglian Daoist Brother is a distinguished guest I brought to meet the Palace Master!" She stared at Xiao Senior Apprentice, saying word by word, "From beginning to end, it was you two who were being unreasonable and deliberately making things difficult!"
"Distinguished guest? Meet the Palace Master?"
Leng Senior Apprentice covered the slap mark on her face, laughing even more wildly, her eyes filled with venom and schadenfreude.
"What kind of status does the Palace Master have? How can a barbarian Cultivator just meet her whenever he wants?"
She sneered, pulling out a token from her Pregnant.
"I've already informed my Master! Bai Yaoyi, you colluded with an outsider and harmed a fellow Disciple. Just like this pretty boy, you two wait to be locked in the ice prison, never to rise again! Hahahaha!"
Upon hearing this, the color drained from Bai Yaoyi's face in an instant, turning it extremely pale.
She suddenly looked at Lin Feng, transmitting her voice urgently.
"Qinglian Daoist Brother, hurry and leave! This matter is a private grudge between my Senior Sister and me, and it has implicated you! Please leave the Xiao Ji Palace quickly, and don't mind me!"
Lin Feng looked at the genuine anxiety and determination in her eyes, and a warmth flowed through his heart.
Instead of moving, he revealed a faint smile and transmitted his voice back.
"White Fairy, there's no need to panic."
His voice was gentle and steady, carrying a strange calming power.
"May I ask, who is the Master of this noisy woman?"
Bai Yaoyi was burning with anxiety, almost on the verge of tears.
At a time like this, he was still asking that!
"It's our Palace's Grand Elder, Han Li Supreme Matriarch! She was already a Grand Cultivator hundreds of years ago, and her strength is unfathomable. In terms of combat, even the Palace Master cannot defeat her!"
"Leng Senior Apprentice is her most beloved Disciple, and she has always been protective of her own. If she hears Leng Senior Apprentice's unreasonable antics, she will certainly not let you off easily!"
"Qinglian Daoist Brother, your talent is unparalleled, and you have such cultivation at such a young age. Why risk it here! Please leave quickly! Yaoyi begs you!"
Lin Feng looked at Bai Yaoyi's beautiful eyes, which were almost overflowing with moisture, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
He shook his head somewhat helplessly.
"White Fairy, it's too late."
"That Han Li Supreme Matriarch has already arrived."
