âCold Wave! Cold Wave is coming! Form the formation!â
The old Patriarch of the Ning clan roared loudly, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the strange howls of the world.
However, the Ning Clan was still prepared for this. The moment Old Patriarch Ningâs voice rang out, the other cultivators of the Ning Clan had already come tacit understanding and formed a formation. With a flick of the formation diagram, the entire formation was formed.
Yang Junshan stayed in the middle of the crowd and was protected by the array. He was relaxed as he checked the details of the array, relying on array diagrams to creatuman formation was more like the initial shape of a type of Dao-Soldier Formation, but it was much more simple and crude. However, with the power of the ten Martial Realm Cultivator s, he could completely withstand the cold wave.
After blocking the initial attack of the cold tide, the cold tideâs power would weaken a bit. Although it would still make some Martial Realm Cultivator feel uncomfortable, at the very least, the Ning Familyâs cultivators wouldnât have to keep up this simple Dao-Soldier Formation.
Yang Junshan followed the Ning Family cultivators and headed north. Because of Old Patriarch Ningâs caution, the speed of the Ning Family cultivators was extremely slow, but this time, Ning Hanwu did not reveal any signs of impatience.
âThird Uncle, there really is something wrong with this cold wave. Normally, it wouldnât be so cold after the initial wave, but Little Chen and Little He canât hold on much longer.â
These two cultivators of the Ning Family with the lowest cultivation bases were taken care of by the cultivators of the Ning Family and were able to walk to the center of the group. However, they still had to circulate the spiritual energy in their bodies to protect themselves from the cold, and although they could resist the cold for a long time, the depletion of the spiritual energy in their bodies would inevitably become a burden to the small team.
âIf only I could meet a Ice Fox!â
Old Patriarch Ning sighed, but the nearby Ning Hanwu couldnât help but bitterly smile.
Everyone knew that the skin of the Ice Fox could be used to protect themselves from the cold. Even drinking a mouthful of the Ice Foxâs blood could allow them to not be afraid of the invasion of the frost wave for a day.
However, not to mention that this thing rarely appeared in the ice plains, even if they were extremely lucky, they might not be able to catch it. In fact, they might even be tricked by this cunning thing.
âIs the Ice Fox a fox too? What does he look like?â A voice suddenly came from behind the two of them, Yang Junshan heard their conversation and asked.
âUh,â Ning Hanwu was stunned for a moment before he continued, âIce Fox and the white fox are actually pretty similar. Although they are small, they have the strength of a savage beast, and Ice Fox has the instinct to control snow and ice, which makes them extremely cunning. In the extreme north of the ice plains, encountering this kind of thing is even scarier than encountering a wild beast.â
Yang Junshan was startled, and said: âThat powerful?â
When it comes to strength, the Ice Fox is naturally inferior to the ice bear. Even this old man can withstand it, but the Ice Fox is extremely difficult to deal with, and its speed is extremely fast too. It can even borrow the strength of the ice plains to avoid the detection of cultivators.
Old Patriarch Ning paused before continuing, âWhen I was young, I saw two Tenth Perfection cultivators bring a few of my familyâs young disciples into the ice plains to gain experience, but in the end, they were targeted by a Ice Fox. After escaping the ice plains with great difficulty, only the two Perfection of the cultivator were left out of the group of ten.â
The Ning Family cultivators all gasped when they heard the Old Patriarchâs words, but Yang Junshanâs expression was a little strange.
However, right after, Old Patriarch Ningâs tone changed, and he said, âHowever, a Ice Fox often meanuge amount of wealth. Other than the skin and blood of the Ice Fox himself, Ice Fox often also has the habit of collecting Aurora Stones in the icy plains.
The Aurora Stone wareasure that could be used to raise the quality of a flying magic treasure. It was said that a single Aurora Stone could raise a flying magic treasure by a level.
Most importantly, the Aurora Stone was said to breasure that was formed after the jade stone on the far north had absorbed the aurora from the ice plains. When Yang Junshan heard this, he was naturally even more interested in it.
Until now, the flying magic treasure that Yang Junshan had used was still a low grade mystical flying shuttle, and this was something that he had snatched from Xiong Xiying back when he was using his martial arts realm.
Although Yang Junshan possessed the two great flying spirit escaping techniques and the earth shrinking technique, when using this kind of spirit art, the amount of True Essence in his body was extremely high. Although the speed of explosion was extremely fast, it was still incomparable to using a flying treasure to travel for a long distance.
At this time, Ning Hanwu finally realized that Yang Junshanâs expression was not right, and asked, âBrother Little Yang, is there something wrong with you?â
Yang Junshan laughed unnaturally and said: âIt seems that there is a Ice Fox hiding in our vicinity.â
Ning Hanwu was stunned, but then he laughed and said, âLittle Yang, you canât joke about this âŠâ
As soon as Ning Hanwu finished his words, a pile of snow foam abouundred feet away from them exploded. A white shadow flashed past and instantly disappeared into the snow.
âIce Fox,â the tone of Old Patriarch Ningâs voice changed. âEveryone stay alert, donât move forward.
The fame of the Ice Fox caused the Ning Family cultivators to panic for a moment, but at the same time, Ice Fox, who had been standing right in front of everyone, suddenly appeared behind them. A white light rose and rushed towards the last Baleful Qi Cultivator.
When he looked up, he was blinded by the refraction of the light in the snow. From within the white light, a pair of sharp claws extended out, grabbing towards the eyes of the Demon Qi Cultivator.
Zheng, followed by a short hissing sound, everything became silent once more.
It was only then that the originally tightly shut eyes of the baleful qi stage cultivator suddenly realized that his eyes were not blind. After opening his eyes, he heard the old patriarchâs surprised voice from behind him: âThank you Taoist Little Yang for helping, otherwise Han Chaoâs eyes would not be able to protect itself.â
Ning Hanwuâs voice came out as well, and he asked uncertainly: âBrother Little Yang, you, you can detect traces of the Ice Fox?â
Not only him, the other cultivators of the Ning Family all looked at Yang Junshan in disbelief. The Ice Fox was able to borrow the power of the extreme north ice plains to avoid being caught by the cultivatorsâ consciousness, if they could really capture traces of the Ice Fox, wouldnât that mean that they could escape from the Ice Fox?
In fact, when they previously discovered that the Ice Fox had already set their sights on the Ning Family cultivators, including Old Patriarch Ning, they had already mentally prepared themselves for the majority of the familyâs losses. However, hearing Ning Hanchaoâs question, didnât that mean that most of them didnât have to die?
Yang Junshan did not bother to explain to them, he waved his hand, and a screen of light condensed in front of Ning Hanwu, followed by two âkachaâ sounds, the screen of light formed from Yang Junshanâs martial arts realm suddenly cracked, and the moment a white shadow was blocked by the screen of light, it paused for a moment, and then once again jumped into the snow on the ground and disappeared.
The fear on Ning Hanwuâs face did not disappear, but Old Patriarch Ningâs meaningful gaze fell on Yang Junshan as he said, âTaoist Little Yang can indeed catch traces of Ice Fox.â
Yang Junshan laughed and declined to comment: âThe old patriarch also said that the Ice Fox is cunning. This junior has blocked two attacks from the Ice Fox, will it retreat just like that?â
Elder Ning shook his head gloomily, âThat wonât happen. Although the Ice Fox is cunning, it doesnât have any intelligence. Unless we can injure it, or make it truly feel danger, it will still stick to us like dog skin paste.â
Yang Junshan laughed lightly, and said: âSince thatâs the case, then letâs think of a way to kill it!â
Seeing that both Patriarch Ning and Ning Hanwu had a look of astonishment on their faces, Yang Junshan couldnât help but laugh: âWhat, old patriarch, you also said that this thing only has the strength of a savage beast, now that we can resist its sneak attack, why didnât we try to kill it? With this, the Ning Family wouldnât need to rush back to the Liang Zhou so quickly, and if we were lucky enough to find its nest, then Brother Hanwu wouldnât have no need to worry about the resources needed to cultivate the realms of life in the future.â
Yang Junshanâs words caused Ning Hanwu to be moved, but the old patriarch was obviously more serious, he shook his head and said, âThatâs not appropriate, we canât take the risk, itâs better to take the opportunity to retreat, and âŠâ
âSenior, if you defend this place for long, you will definitely lose. Although I have blocked several sneak attacks from the Ice Fox, if I fail to block one, it means that someone will definitely be injured or even fall!â
âBut âŠâ Old Patriarch Ning was obviously hesitating.
âThird Uncle, letâs give iry.â At this time, Ning Hanwu said, âIf it doesnât work, we can continue to retreat. If it does, we wonât have to die anymore!â
Old Patriarch Ning was still hesitating. âAlthough Taoist Little Yang can catch traces of it, its speed is still extremely fast âŠâ
âI have a divine ability that can slow it down!â Yang Junshan promised again.
To be able to catch the tracks of the Ice Fox, to learn the Divine Guardian Technique, and to have an ability to restrict the speed of the Ice Fox, was this something that an ordinary Martial Realm Cultivator could do?
Old Patriarch Ningâs eyes met Yang Junshanâs confident and calm gaze, and he could not help but nod his head, and said: âAlright, then Iâll give iry, but only this once!â
Yang Junshan laughed, and said: âDonât worry, it wonât be able to escape!â
