Chapter 697 - Sneak Attack (1/2)
“The dragon clan’s disciples won’t fight each other in the early stages.” Zhan Fengting said faintly in the wind and snow, “After all, they all grew up in the same family, and everyone knows everyone else. If it’s not a last resort or a life and death situation, no one will want to become a real villain. At most, they just wouldn’t talk to the ones they hate.”
Naturally, Yan Tianhen had also realized this.
Although the disciples of the Longyao Clan all looked down on Hai Kuanglang, no one took the initiative to come over and fight them. Not only did they treat Hai Kuanglang this way, but they also treated other disciples like this.
Yan Tianhen asked, “The Dragon Emperor said that only by killing other disciples of the Longyao family and absorbing their energy can one purify their own dragon bloodline; is that true?”
Zhan Fengting answered, “Naturally it’s true, but if you really did brutally murder your clanmates just to obtain the inheritance and bloodline, then which clan member would truly be willing to serve you in the future? Even if you obtain that strength, it will still be useless. Moreover, this is not the only way to get the inheritance.”
“That’s true.” Yan Tianhen nodded, agreeing very much.
The wind and snow were getting heavier.
Seeing Hai Kuanglang and his party walking towards the northeast from afar, Longyao Lingguang frowned and said suspiciously, “How can he go that way? Was it possible that they really stole the map of the Dragon Tomb Holy Land?”
As a Holy Maiden of the Dragon family, Longyao Yizhu was naturally protected by the Dragon God. She could enter the Dragon Tomb Holy Land without chanting and singing sacrificial words. If she does not violate the ancestral teachings and is not convicted of a crime, she will not be infringed by the wind and snow inside the Dragon Tomb.
Longyao Yizhu didn’t waste this identity at all. She entered the Dragon Tomb many times. After years, she actually drew a map of the entire Dragon Tomb Holy Land, which was enough to impress people.
Even if the map was lost, it was drawn by hand after all. The context of the map had long been deeply printed in the mind of Longyao Yizhu, and this time, the Holy Maiden also entered with Longyao Lingheng and others.
Longyao Yizhu narrowed her eyes, looking at the distant figures that loomed further and further away across the frost and snow, and said, “It’s very possible, let’s follow them and take a look first.”
As soon as the other disciples saw the team of Longyao Lingheng and Longyao Lingguang marching towards the northeast, many of them moved to follow them. Naturally, there were also many disciples who deliberately wanted to avoid these two evil gods, so they walked in the opposite direction.
They don’t know how far they travelled. The sea of ice was still boundless. If it weren’t for the magic compass in Lin Xuanzhi’s hand that was unaffected by the magnetic field, they probably would’ve lost their way long ago.
Losing their direction was merely a secondary problem. Right now, Yan Tianhen felt that he was really getting colder and colder. The gusts of wind sweeping the heavy snow kept whizzing past his ears. Even though he had reached Earth Realm’s Major Perfection Stage, his hands and feet were becoming really cold.
“Hiss–” Yan Tianhen was so cold that he jumped and stomped his feet a few times on the ice, then quickly rubbed his hands again and again.
Lin Xuanzhi turned his eyes and looked at Yan Tianhen. “Cold?”
Yan Tianhen said while shivering, “Don’t you guys feel cold? Why am I the only one about to freeze into a popsicle? Does this place have something against me, ah?”
Yan Tianhen, “Don’t tell me your ancestors are playing with me on purpose, are they?”
Lin Xuanzhi: “…”
It was hard to say.
Who let Yan Tianhen peel off that Dragon Ancestor’s skin and almost kill the Dragon Ancestor’s entire clan in his last life? Now that the enemy had come to the Dragon Tomb, the Dragon God’s residual soul consciousness would naturally make him suffer some freezing temperatures.
But in any case, of course Lin Xuanzhi couldn’t bear to see Yan Tianhen staying so cold.
“Take this bead with you.” Lin Xuanzhi handed a faint blue bead to Yan Tianhen. “It’s a Wind Flame Bead that I found a few years ago. It can shelter you from the wind and the cold. Taking it with you will make your body warm.”
Hai Kuanglang’s eyelids tightened, staring at the bead. “A few years ago, I heard that a Wind Flame Bead appeared in the West Land’s Yue family, but it was stolen within a few days. Don’t tell me you got this bead from the Yue family?”
Lin Xuanzhi naturally wouldn’t admit that Reincarnation Palace took the deal and snatched it from the Yue family, so he said frankly, “I got it in the black market auction. As for its origin, I also don’t know.”
Hai Kuanglang couldn’t help but utter a ‘tsk tsk tsk’.
Yan Tianhen took the bead and his body suddenly warmed up. He no longer jumped and stomped, let alone shivered. He felt that he could walk hundreds of miles on the ice.
“I have a question.” Yan Tianhen asked, “Why can’t we fly with the sword? Wouldn’t it be faster?”
Hai Kuanglang replied, “I thought you would never ask, not even until you walk out of this place.”
Yan Tianhen: “…”
Zhan Fengting smiled. “There are restrictions in this land. If you fly with the sword, you will never fly out of this ice sea. You can only walk on the ground with your own two feet to the exit.”
Yan Tianhen looked at the vast road ahead and felt a little despair. “How many years would it take to walk out? Maybe my younger brother will already be born by the time I finally walk out.”
Hai Kuanglang was immediately amused. “It’s really hard to say. I only know that it took 30 years for the current Dragon Emperor to go out when he accepted the inheritance.”
