What he said was half true and half false. The news about the exotic treasure also roughly ascertained its location. I just didn't expect the guardian monster to be so powerful. Now that Ye Feng has shown such great strength, he no longer dares to be monopolistic.
Ye Feng smiled noncommittally: "Young Master Qin is too polite. In that case, let's go together to see what treasures are hidden deep in the valley."
Qin Yue nodded and motioned for the surviving men to follow. The group of people carefully walked around the body of the Ice Crystal Demon Spider and walked deeper into the valley.
The further inside, the colder air becomes purer, and there are even ice-blue light spots visible to the naked eye floating in the air. On the surrounding ice walls, there are some strange ice crystal flowers and plants growing, exuding a faint fragrance.
"This is it!" Qin Yue suddenly pointed to a cave entrance shrouded in thick cold fog and said with a hint of excitement in his tone.
The entrance to the cave is not large, allowing only one person to pass through. The cave is deep and dark, exuding a heart-stopping and extremely cold atmosphere. Even the Golden Core cultivator can feel the biting cold when standing at the entrance of the cave.
Ye Feng’s dragon soul power penetrated into the cave and raised his eyebrows slightly. Deep in the cave, there was indeed an extremely pure and majestic energy fluctuation, which was consistent with the description of the "sign of the birth of a strange treasure" he had seen on the map before.
"Young Master Qin, please." Ye Feng made a "please" gesture, indicating Qin Yue to go forward. He didn't want to be cannon fodder to explore the path.
A trace of hesitation flashed in Qin Yue's eyes, but considering Ye Feng's strength, he did not dare to play any tricks. He nodded and walked in first. The rest of the Ziyang Sect disciples followed closely behind.
Ye Feng followed at the end unhurriedly.
The interior of the cave is winding and winding, and the deeper you go, the more alarmingly cold it becomes. After walking about a hundred feet, a huge underground ice cave suddenly opened up ahead.
In the center of the ice cave, there is a cold pool with a radius of several feet. The water in the pool shows a strange deep blue color and exudes a dense cold air. And in the center of the cold pool, there was a group of fist-sized milky white crystals that beat slowly like a heart!
The crystal was crystal clear, and there seemed to be countless tiny ice-blue runes circulating inside, exuding an extremely pure aura of ice origin. Just looking at it makes people feel clear and clear, and there are signs of faint improvement in cultivation.
"Ice Soul Essence!" Qin Yue exclaimed, his eyes filled with ecstasy and greed.
The several Ziyang Sect disciples behind him were also breathing rapidly and their eyes were burning.
The Ice Soul Essence is a supreme treasure that can only be formed by condensing the extremely cold air between heaven and earth for hundreds of millions of years. It contains the pure power of ice. Whether it is used to practice ice attribute skills or to refine high-level magic weapons and elixirs, it is of inestimable value. This small piece of Ice Soul Essence is as valuable as a heavenly magic weapon!
A trace of surprise flashed in Ye Feng's eyes. He also did not expect that this rare treasure of Bingxin Valley would be such a precious ice soul essence. Although this thing does not directly help him find the Nine Nether Ice Lotus, if he can refine part of it, it will definitely be of great help to improve his own cultivation and the source of his star power.
Just when everyone was attracted by the ice soul essence, a sudden change occurred!
Several rays of extremely sharp sword energy burst out from the shadow of the cave without any warning, aiming directly at Qin Yue and other Ziyang Sect disciples!
"Puff! Puff! Puff!"
After several muffled sounds, except for Qin Yue, who reacted the fastest, he barely avoided the vital point and was only scratched on the arm by the sword energy. The other three Ziyang Sect disciples didn't even have time to scream, and they were pierced through the heart or head by the sharp sword energy, killing them on the spot!
"Who is it?" Qin Yue was shocked and angry, covering his bleeding arm and shouted sharply.
"Haha, Master Qin, thank you for opening the way for us and getting rid of that nasty spider." A sinister voice came from the darkness.
Following the words, five figures slowly walked out from several hidden corners of the cave.
The leader, wearing the attire of a core disciple of the Wanjian Sect, has a sinister face, eyes as cold as poisonous snakes, and his cultivation has reached the fifth level of the Golden Core! He was holding a green-edged sword in his hand, with blood dripping from the tip.
Behind him were four disciples who were also dressed in Wanjian Sect costumes. They were all at the second or third level of Jindan. They all looked arrogant and murderous.
"Wanjian Sect! It's you!" Qin Yue's face instantly became extremely ugly. He recognized that the leader was none other than Xiao Yihan, one of the top ten disciples in the inner sect of Wanjian Sect, who was known for his ruthlessness.
Xiao Yihan licked his lips and showed a cruel smile: "Yes, it's us. Young Master Qin, this ice soul essence is not something that your Ziyang Sect can get your hands on. If you know the truth, get out of here, and maybe you can still save a life."
Qin Yue was so angry that he was shaking all over. Wan Jian Zong had always been domineering, but he didn't expect to set up an ambush here. It seems that they have long been eyeing the Ice Soul Essence, and they may even have deliberately attracted the Ice Crystal Demon Spider to consume the strength of other treasure hunters.
"Xiao Yihan, you Wanjian Sect are too domineering! This Ice Soul Soul Marrow is an ownerless thing, why should it belong to you?" Qin Yue said angrily.
"Why?" Xiao Yihan sneered, with murderous intent in his eyes, "Just because the swords of my Wanjian Sect are stronger than those of your Ziyang Sect! And because we are stronger than you!"
Before he finished speaking, his eyes turned to Ye Feng, who had been standing beside him as if it had nothing to do with him. A trace of doubt and vigilance flashed in his eyes: "And you, boy, who are you? Why are you hanging out with people from the Ziyang Sect?"
He could feel that there was something about this green-shirted boy who seemed to be only at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment that he couldn't see through, especially those sword auras just now.
Ye Feng touched his nose, showing his white teeth and smiling brightly: "I'm just passing by. I wanted to pick up some bargains, but I didn't expect the mantis stalking the cicada, the oriole behind, and a group of eagles behind. Wanjian Sect, wow, it's so majestic."
His tone was relaxed, but deep in his eyes, there was a hint of chill. Wanjian Sect, Hu Yanchen’s sect. It seems that there is no avoiding trouble.
Xiao Yihan frowned, Ye Feng's slick attitude made him very unhappy. He snorted coldly: "Boy, no matter who you are, since you saw something you shouldn't have seen, let's keep it alive!"
The smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a cold look: "Oh? So, you are planning to solve it with me too?"
Xiao Yihan's eyes were full of evil: "Stop talking nonsense! Either hand over the storage bag, kneel down and beg for mercy, I may consider leaving your whole body! Or, die!"
The four disciples of Wanjian Sect behind him also drew their swords, and locked onto Ye Feng and Qin Yue with strong sword energy.
Xiao Yihan's face instantly became so gloomy that water dripped from his face. As one of the core disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, he is at the fifth level of the Golden Core. He is respected by others wherever he goes. How has he ever been so despised? Especially when the other party is just a boy with a seventh level of foundation building!
"Arrogant! Kill him for me!" Xiao Yihan shouted angrily, the Qingfeng sword in his hand buzzed, green light flowed on the sword, and a sharp and unparalleled sword gang had condensed into shape, obviously he was really angry.
The four Wanjian Sect disciples behind him also responded in unison. The four sword lights intertwined to form a simple sword formation, blocking all possible escape routes for Ye Feng and attacking Ye Feng's vital points at the same time.
