Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 516 – Steal

The two sides were less than a hundred feet apart from each other. However, due to the raging storm and snowstorm, neither of them could see each other’s faces clearly. Even if they wanted to probe with their Spiritual Awareness, it was destroyed by the surging Spiritual Energy fluctuations.

Yang Junshan fought a giant bear on his own, it could even be said that he was on par with it. After getting used to the berserk attacks of the giant bear, Yang Junshan realised that the giant bear could not use just these few methods, and started to take the initiative instead.

On the other side, the giant bear was bigger than the one Yang Junshan was facing, and it was also more violent than normal. However, the two of them had teamed up, and the anger that was suppressed by the two beasts scattered onto the giant bear’s body, striking it hard.

After fighting for a while, the human cultivator side had the absolute upper hand. The giant bear that was fighting against Yang Junshan was now completely suppressed by him, while the other giant bear was also injured by the combined efforts of the two Spiritual Masters. It was covered with a layer of blood-red fur, looking extremely long and terrifying.

Aesult, even with the bear cub’s corpse here, they did not dare to stay any longer. The smaller giant bear raised its head and let out two roars, and the two giant bears actually dove into the cold storm without even turning its head back. In the blink of an eye, their traces were concealed by the snowstorm.

One of the two immortals was about to catch up, when he heard the other one coming, “Fellow Liu, stay here, we can’t handle these two giant bears in such a short time, but the commotion caused by the battle is not small. Right now, we are already in the depths of the ice plains, and there have been a lot of cultivators from different places over the past few days, so I’m afraid that some of them might alarm the others, and when the time comes and we are fighting, someone will pop out and take advantage of us …”

The man stopped when he heard it, and looked towards Yang Junshan’s direction: “Brother Jingyuan is right, but I am Meng Lang, anyway, these two beasts have already run away, we will go to its lair to collect the treasures then.”

Their gazes met, and they were about to walk towards the direction of the cultivators when they heard a voice come from there. “Are the two in front the Wangchun Sect’s Master Liu Qiu and the Xuanji Sect’s Adept Jing Yuan?”

The two of them stopped at the same time. The Adept Jing Yuan spoke with surprise: “Who is up ahead, this one is indeed from the Black Scale Sect.”

“Hehe, have the two of you forgotten your old friends from the Ice Crystal Jade Spring?”

The wind and snow surged in front of the two. A blurry shadow passed through the snow and wind and arrived in front of them. It turned out to ball and sturdy young man of about twenty years of age with a rather rugged appearance.

Upon seeing this, the two of them came tealization. The Adept Jing Yuan laughed: “It turns out to be Taoist Yang, we only do not know if we should call him Fellow Daoist Yang Xi Shan, or Fellow Daoist Yang Junshan, from Yuzhou.”

Liu Qiu also laughed, “I heard that after Fellow has left the Coldjade mountain range, you were chased all the way by and Zhang Mo Feng. However, you couldn’t do anything about it, and in the end, you even managed to retreat, which is quite admirable to me. This time, Fellow has stepped on the name of the Snow Wind Sword Sect’s Successor Disciple, but from now on, fellow should be extremely careful when you meet people from Snow Wind Sword Sect.”

Originally, Yang Junshan felt somewhat embarrassed that his identity had been exposed by the Adept Jing Yuan, but after hearing the reminder from Spiritual Master Liu Qiu, he laughed bitterly: “I am Yang Junshan from Yuzhou, and earlier, I had no choice but to hide my identity due to a grudge with the Snow Wind Sword Sect. Please forgive me.”

Pausing for a moment, Yang Junshan then cupped his hands towards Liu Qiu and said: “Thank you for your reminder, Master Liu. I was lucky to be able to escape from the pursuit of Qi Min and Zhang Mo Feng.”

Adept Jing Yuan laughed and said, “This is human nature. If we were to go down to the Yuzhou to travel, I’m afraid that you would only speak a bit of the truth when facing strangers. However, didn’t Fellow Daoist travel all the way from the Liang Zhou to the Ice Plains because of this Ice Waves and the Polar Waves?”

Yang Junshan muttered to himself that since he had already arrived at the snowy plains, there was no need to hide his reason for coming here, so he admitted generously: “But he came for the Dual Polarity Origin Handle.”

“Brother Yang, I believe that you know my status as a Pure Yuan cultivator. The Primary Magnetic Force of the Ice Provenance has always been controlled by the Four Major Sects of the Liang Zhou, so if anyone else wanted to collect the Origin Magnetic Force, they could only pick up what the Four Major Sects left behind between their fingers. If this matter were to happen in the past, it would not count as much, but with Brother Pure Yuan’s and I’s face, they would at least be able to squeezortion of it out of the sect for you, Brother Yang.”

In fact, Yang Junshan had already heard a lot of secrets from the true disciple of the Snow Wind Sword Sect, Senior Brother Han. However, he remained calm and collected, and wanted to hear what the two had said, so that the information he had obtained could be mutually verified. Thus, he asked curiously: “Oh, did something happen?”

“I don’t know where it came from, but after this wave of cold waves broke out, a large number of Adept Realm Cultivatoppeared in the northern ice plains. These cultivators are clearly not from the Liang Zhou s, but they are mostly from the foreign continents, and there are even many Alien Cultivator s mixed in. The ice plains may seem calm right now, but in reality, danger is already lurking in every direction.”

“In the past, this ice field was controlled by the Four Major Sects of Liang Zhou, but today, there are many cultivators pouring in. These people are all from different clans and sects in the Outer Continent, and their strengths are not weaker than us, the Mystical Scale Sect or the Wang Chunmen Sect. This time, under the joint pressure, other than the Snow Wind Sword Sect, the other three sects are in a difficult position, and even the Snow Wind Sword Sect has given in great benefits to compromise with the other powers.

Yang Junshan secretly nodded his head. It seemed that before Senior Brother Han died, he vomited a lot of work, similar to what the two said.

When Liu Qiu saw Yang Junshan remaining silent, he forgot about Adept Jing Yuan and laughed: “We have been standing here talking too much and have forgotten about the treasures in the ice bear’s den. Let’s collect them first, in case we get taken advantage of by other people.”

Adept Jing Yuan also said: “Yes, extremely. And this little bear, even though it is not a child, it is still a descendant of a dire beast, able to make a middle ranked cloak with a bear skin. This bear’s flesh and blood is alsreasure used to strengthen the body, that bear dares to think that it would be an extremely good pill refining medicine.”

Daoist Master Liu Qiu sighed, “It’ity that this luck is so amazing. If only normal beasts had immortal spirits, then this savage beast and wild beast are a hundred times stronger than wild beasts. However, they don’t have any immortal spirits in their bodies.”

Both of them were old hands, and in an instant, they peeled off a little bear’s skin and bones, and only kept a few useful things. Yang Junshan did not kill the little bear, and although the two of them intended to give him two bear paws, they were rejected by Yang Junshan.

The two of them had allowed Yang Junshan’s Ice Qi Stone in the Ice Bear’s nest before, and the three of them hurriedly rushed over to the place they had found before.

Yang Junshan could not help but ask, “If there really ireasure like the Ice Cold Qi Stone, does it mean that every ice bear’s lair has such a treasure?”

Hearing this, the two of them laughed. Liu Qiu said, “Of course not, it’s just that my luck this time is extremely good. I expected that two giant bears would help me find these, but who would have thought that all three of us would be lucky.”

While they were talking, the three of them had already arrived in front of the ice bear’s nest. Unexpectedly, Adept Jing Yuan’s expression changed, and he said: “Not good, someone came by, and someone beat us to the punch!”

Yang Junshan followed the Adept Jing Yuan and entered the ice cave. The huge ice cave was filled with ice moss, and the ice moss had been pressed down extremely flat. In many places, there were even huge scratches on the ice cave, revealing the ice underneath.

However, this ice cave was completely empty. The Frozen End energy stones mentioned by the two of them were completely gone, and even some scattered ice jade, profound ice stone and other spirit materials that were not what Spiritual Master Liu Qiu had mentioned earlier had disappeared, leaving behind only Spiritual Master Liu Qiu and Adept Jing Yuan who were standing in the ice cave, seething with anger.

“Someone must have taken advantage of the time during our battle with the ice bear when the blizzard covered our line of sight. This cold wave had disturbed our Spiritual Awareness and the great battle earlier had left us with no time to think about anything else, which was why someone took the opportunity to take away the treasure within the ice cave.”

“The newcomers only took the Essence Stones in the ice cave, but they didn’t stay behind to try and take advantage of us fighting the ice bears. It can be seen that there aren’t many people and they don’t have complete confidence in defeating the three of us, so it can be seen that there are at most one or two people who steal the treasures.”

“Furthermore, the person who stole the treasure is undoubtedly from the outside world.”

“That’s right, only the people from the other realms do not know the methods of the Liang Zhou’s cultivators on the ice plains. Hehe, I thought that we would not be able to find your tracks this way, and it must be known that the ones occupying the ice plains are my Liang Zhou’s cultivators.”

Hearing the two talk, Yang Junshan inferred that there was a method to pursue and he could not help but ask: “Are the two of you chasing after the person who stole the treasure?”

Adept Liu was puzzled. “Naturally, don’t tell me that afteound of fighting, we’ve already been betrothed to someone else?”

Adept Jing Yuan also said: “Taoist Yang probably does not know how precious that Essence Stone is, I hope that Fellow can help us, at that time, Fellow will know that this trip was not in vain!”

Yang Junshan hesitated for a bit before nodding his head and agreeing. The two of them were happy seeing this, they had seen Yang Junshan’s strength before, so with him help, Liu Qiu did not hesitate to use a secret technique inside the cave, summoning a white bird and circling the cave twice, after that, they chattered and flew out of the cave, the three of them quickly followed behind.

Seeing Yang Junshan’s doubt, the Adept Jing Yuan explained to him: “This bird is known as the Snowy Goose, after using the secret technique, it can be used to track and find out how rich the Essence Qi is contained. As long as that person is not far away, the Snowy Goose will definitely be able to find him.”

The three of them left the cave and chased after the snow gulls for a few kilometers. From a distance, they could see two cultivators running across the ice plains.

Master Liu Qiu and Adept Jing Yuan shouted, one on the left and one on the right, followed up after seeing the situation, and the three of them blocked the two rushing towards them from different directions.

He heard one of the two cultivators being surrounded shout, and say: “Who are you, daring to stop me, Ling Yizong!”
