The visitor was no stranger.

It was Yu Luoxuan!

It was she who, back then, rescued Ye Qing by risking her own life and took Ye Qing away from the Barbaric Continent into the Kunlun Realm's Ice and Snow Divine Palace. Ye Qingchen felt complicated towards Yu Luoxuan.

It was she who saved his life.

It was also she who took Ye Qing away.

"I heard from my disciples earlier that you arrived in the Kunlun Realm. I was somewhat skeptical, but it seems true, indeed! And your cultivation level is higher than I imagined!"

Yu Luoxuan looked deeply at Ye Qingchen, with a shocked expression appearing in her eyes.

Consider this.

Back then, when she encountered Ye Qingchen, he was only at the Profound Pill Realm. In her perspective, even if Ye Qingchen ever entered the Kunlun Realm, it would be four or five years later, reaching at most the Celestial Venerable level.

But now.

Ye Qingchen appeared before her, and had reached the Earth Immortal Third Layer, which left her stunned.

"However, I won't let you take Ye Qing away!

"Master?"

Yu Luoxuan's words immediately shocked Ye Qing; she never expected her always-loving master to outrightly refuse.

Ye Qingchen's face darkened too, "Why?"

"It's the rule of the Ice and Snow Divine Palace! Any disciple entering the palace can only leave upon reaching the Earth Immortal level. If you forcefully take her away, you'll endanger her!"

Yu Luoxuan looked calmly at Ye Qingchen:

"Outside the Ice and Snow Divine Palace, there are thirty-two Celestial Immortals stationed year-round. I know what you're planning, try if you dare!"

Ye Qingchen's brows furrowed slightly.

In front of Yu Luoxuan, he felt as if she had completely seen through him. She even perceived his intent to take Ye Qing away by force.

Her words were an undisguised threat!

At this, Ye Qing realized, and she hurriedly looked at Ye Qingchen: "Brother, I won't leave now... Once I reach the Earth Immortal level, I'll be able to leave the palace! Besides, I've already obtained the Earth Immortal Certificate!"

As a disciple of the Ice and Snow Divine Palace, Ye Qing was more aware than anyone else of its formidable nature!

Though Ye Qingchen was already quite powerful.

However.

He still couldn't contend with the entire Ice and Snow Divine Palace by himself!

Ye Qingchen said nothing.

He was quietly calculating the possibility of subduing Yu Luoxuan in one move and taking Ye Qing by force.

It seemed Yu Luoxuan sensed Ye Qingchen's thoughts, as she smiled calmly, "Ye Qingchen, I must commend your courage! But, are you truly willing to let Ye Qing wander with you?"

Ye Qingchen was jolted inside.

He looked at Ye Qing, then at Yu Luoxuan, and after a moment of deep contemplation, he took a deep breath and said, "Alright! Then I'll come to take Qing'Er after she reaches the Earth Immortal level..."

He certainly wasn't afraid of Yu Luoxuan's threat.

He simply didn't want Ye Qing to be caught in danger too.

"Alright, this matter is settled, Ye Qing, return to the sect with me!" Yu Luoxuan glanced at Ye Qingchen, then with a wave of her large sleeve, she took Ye Qing and soared into the sky.

The group of Han Yue Ran who was with Yu Luoxuan also simultaneously ascended to the sky.

"Brother!"

"Once I reach the Earth Immortal level, I'll come to Taotian Palace to find you!"

"You must wait for me!"

Ye Qing turned back, looking at Ye Qingchen who was getting smaller on the ground below, and shouted loudly.

"I will!"

On Flame Ridge Mountain.

Watching Ye Qing gradually fly away, merge into virtual space, and completely disappear from sight, Ye Qingchen tightly clenched his fists.

After a moment.

Only then did he slowly retrieve his gaze.

...

Three days later.

"Phew, finally got out!"

Ye Qingchen, with his hands behind his back, couldn't help but sigh.

This Celestial Extinction Mountain was larger than he imagined, even though Yu Luoxuan had explained to him how to leave, it still took him several days. "No wonder the location of the Ice and Snow Divine Palace remains unfamiliar to many!"

"However, this trip can be considered successful!"

Ye Qingchen rubbed his chin.

On this journey to the Extreme North.

He not only found Ye Qing but also elevated his cultivation to the Earth Immortal Third Layer. More importantly, he found the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures needed by Su Moran.

"It's time to return now!"

Just as Ye Qingchen prepared to set off.

Suddenly, his eyebrows knitted.

"Huh? Strange... Isn't this Tang Mei'Er's aura? How could she appear here?"

Ye Qingchen exclaimed softly.

...

Celestial Extinction Mountain.

"Haha, let's see where you can run!"

Thud!

A slender figure hastily fell to the ground, she turned her head, eyes filled with terror. She was indeed Tang Mei'Er!

And behind her.

Were three veteran Earth Immortals whose overwhelming presence surged like gods or demons, overshadowing the surroundings. Behind them, a dense mass of swaying figures like a vast army, almost blotting out the sky.

Countless dark clouds swiftly swept past this troop like wild horses, lightning flashing, electrifying the sky. At this moment, even the air was filled with a battle-like murderous intent!

"A woman of the Human Immortal Realm, why waste time on her?"

In the center, an old man in daoist robes, surrounded by lightning, casually said. Although he seemed ethereal, three parts of gloom surfaced in his eyes.

"You don't know, she's the eldest daughter of the Tang Family, Tang Mei'Er! She is closely connected with Ye Qingchen!" Beside the old man, a Blade Master with a cold gaze spoke with a half-smile, "We searched deep within the Extreme North for several months without finding Ye Qingchen. Catching her might just lure Ye Qingchen out!"

"So it's her!"

Another enlightened monk, radiant with compassion, suddenly realized, his eyes burning as he looked at Tang Mei'Er.

Marquis Guangjun entered the Extreme North with thunderous momentum.

There will naturally be those who fear and those who flatter.

These three.

The moment they learned of Marquis Guangjun's identity, they eagerly volunteered to catch people in the Celestial Extinction Mountain. Who knew that despite the mountain's vastness, they failed to find Ye Qingchen's trace after months, yet stumbled coincidentally upon Tang Mei'Er.

Tang Mei'Er's close relationship with Ye Qingchen was well-known throughout the Extreme North.

"Speak quickly!" The compassionate monk suddenly turned fierce as a golden-eyed protector, angrily shouted, "Where is Ye Qingchen..."

"I don't know!"

Tang Mei'Er's face turned pale.

Originally.

Upon knowing Marquis Guangjun's approach, Tang Mei'Er impulsively sneaked into the depths of the Extreme North to inform Ye Qingchen about what transpired in Nu Bing City. With her Human Immortal Realm, reaching the Celestial Extinction Mountain was already a miracle.

But.

Contrary to her expectations, she failed to meet Ye Qingchen and instead encountered the three Earth Immortals hunting for Ye Qingchen.

"It seems you won't relent until faced with death!" At this, the compassionate monk sneered and said, "Seems like I'll have to extract your soul to personally uncover Ye Qingchen's whereabouts!"

"Venerable Jiuri, why bother?" Just as the monk was about to act, the cold-eyed Blade Master beside him laughed disdainfully, "Strip this woman naked and hang her before the Celestial Extinction Mountain, I bet Ye Qingchen will show up in three days!"

"What if Ye Qingchen doesn't come?"

Venerable Jiuri lifted his brows, smiling faintly.

"Then hand her over to my clan behind me... I refuse to believe this famed predator of the Extreme North can swallow such humiliation!" The Blade Master laughed heartily, "If by then he still doesn't come, he must've perished in the Celestial Extinction Mountain!"

"Haha, Ye Qingchen better roll out of the Celestial Extinction Mountain, he may still preserve a slim chance at life; otherwise, when we invade the Celestial Extinction Mountain, he'll surely be smashed to smithereens!" Monk Jiuru said coldly, laughing.

Tang Mei'Er trembled hearing this. The looming fate filled her heart with despair.

Yet Venerable Jiuri and the three had increasingly gleaming expressions.

As if beholding their future glory and riches.

Suddenly.

A cold voice sounded abruptly:

"Is that so?"
