Chapter 2791: Unexpected
miles away, there is a swamp. Inside the swamp lies a lake called Ji Xing Lake. It is said that there is a kind of Ji Xing Stone on the shore of the lake. Although it doesn't have a strong effect on t...The slovenly old man and his group were so terrified that they lost their souls. Beneath this ice lake, there was no way to escape like on the surface. Without the ice talisman to guide them, the even more intense lightning power and icy aura here could kill them countless times.
"Where did you two obtain these jade talismans" the Bingli demon shadow looked down from above.
“Greetings, Master Lin, it is I and the Leopard Demon who killed a Snowmane Sunhorse. The Sunhorse was badly injured at the time, allowing us to take advantage.” The slovenly old man spoke honestly without concealing anything.
"Hand over this jade talisman to me, and I will spare your lives," the Ice Fox demon shadow said.
"This, senior, my fellow disciples have been able to survive down here in this ice pool until now thanks to this jade talisman. Without it, we wouldn't have lasted long and would have all perished here. Senior, what do you think" The Jiaozu Leopard demon naturally didn't want to offend this Bingli demon spirit. But offending her would mean death, and losing the jade talisman for protection would also mean death. Both sides offered no good outcome, making it a truly difficult choice.
"In that case, keeping you lot of trash around serves no purpose." The ice fox demon shadow sneered, its form growing larger and larger until it enveloped all the cultivators. The pressure from the shadow intensified, growing heavier and heavier, making their hearts pound like drums being relentlessly beaten.
Beneath this ice pool lies one who holds a jade talisman, their speed unable to surpass even the slightest bit.
“Just a mere phantom, not the true self present. Underneath this ice pool, if seniors were to force us into death, we juniors could only fight with all our might.” The jade talisman was the only means of survival right now, how could he easily give it up The slovenly old man gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
“Just because you think you can fight hard, a bunch of ants!” The Ice Lynx demon shadow sneered, its massive form swiping down with a claw. In an instant, the surrounding life force seemed about to be eradicated by this single blow. The slovenly old man, the horned leopard demon, and others all felt a deadly aura surging toward them frantically.
All the cultivators turned pale. Beneath this ice pool, the Ice Fox Spirit's shadow was even more formidable than the one above. Confined to a limited space, the Ice Fox Spirit's simple strike enveloped all the cultivators present. None escaped.
The powerful, disheveled old man could almost smell the stench of death emanating from the demonic shadow's attacks. It was inescapable.
Several cultivators in the scene were now cornered and had no choice but to fight with all their might. However, just as the icy fox demon's attack was about to strike, it froze mid-air and remained suspended, unable to descend for a long time.
The woman in the green skirt and the other cultivators all had puzzled expressions on their faces, unable to understand what was happening before them.
"Senior, Senior, how did you end up here" The ice fox demon's claw hovered in mid-air, frozen neither falling nor retracting.
The woman in the green skirt was stunned by the words of the ice fox demon. She couldn't figure out what was going on. This ice fox demon's cultivation level was already terrifying enough, and its fusion with the Divine Void realm had an insurmountable chasm. Not to mention there were a few Nascent Soul juniors among them.
This Ice Fox old demon was already an existence they could only look up to. And right now, in the mouth of the Ice Fox old demon, there seemed to be a great cultivator who had only been rumored about, known as a being like an immortal on land. This, this is impossible! The Ice Fox's shadow's face showed an expression worse than crying. The shock he had received over the past few thousand years was nothing compared to today. In the past, even when facing late-stage Nascent Soul monsters, he wasn't without hope of escape. But facing this old monster, the Ice Fox's shadow didn't even have the thought of running away in his heart.
For a great cultivator like him to not stay in the Red Moon Desert or some secluded blessed land to cultivate, but instead mingle with these ants… wouldn't that be seeking trouble for nothing and straying from the righteous path
Bing Li’s spirit muttered a few words within.
"That seems like something I should ask you," the scholar who had transformed from a broken arm suddenly spoke, "You just said you were going to find the whereabouts of the Jietian Stone, and now there are clues. Your speed is not slow."
The scholar who had transformed from a severed arm opened his mouth, and the women in green dresses and the others were all startled. There was a powerful old monster lurking beside them! They had never even dared to think of such a thing. During this time, they hadn't been particularly respectful to the severed arm.

“Senior, Senior,” the ragged old man stammered, his horned leopard demon face contorted with embarrassment. Just moments ago, they had been planning to extort spirit crystals from this powerful Nascent Soul expert!
"None of your business, step aside." Originally mingling among low-level cultivators, Duan Bi had nothing to do during his downtime besides cultivation. He was just planning to try his luck and take the opportunity to experience some of what his previous self had gone through traveling all over.
Since we have already found clues about the Sky-Earth Stone, there is no need to continue acting this way.
“Yes, yes, senior,” the slovenly old man and his group hurriedly retreated to the side, not daring to breathe.
“This junior had some trepidation about this ice lake and wouldn't easily venture in. It was only after receiving the senior's instructions that I hurried here to investigate. I didn't expect the senior to notice the abnormality here as well. It wasn't intentional to hide anything from you.” The Bingli demon shadow quickly explained.
The armless man, transformed into a scholar, stretched out his finger and with a flick, a spark of fire instantly pierced through the Ice Lynx demon's shadow, directly burning a hole the size of a fist in it. The Ice Lynx demon's shadow, scorched by the Unphase Profound Fire, shrieked incessantly, begging for mercy.
"Think it over and then speak. My patience has its limits." Duan Bi coldly smiled, not giving the other party any color, really thought they could fool him so easily.
"Yes, yes. When parting with my senior, I already had some guesses about the Heaven-Shaping Stone and came here to verify them. I was blinded by greed and became selfish towards the Heaven-Shaping Stone, wanting to silence these incoming low-level cultivators."

The phantom of the fox demon trembled, for nothing was more terrifying than confessing to a Great Ascension old monster that he had been deceitful. Even though he had prepared beforehand and his true body was not present here, facing a Great Ascension old monster, the phantom of the fox demon had no way to resolve the crisis at all.
“It was because of the younger one's selfish desire to monopolize some secrets about the Boundary Heaven Stone that they unexpectedly found themselves bound by a strange constraint.”
The phantom of the fox demon spoke, its ethereal form flickering and fading. In an instant, it transformed into a wispy shadow, melting into the depths of the ice pool.
"Overreaching," Duan Bi let out a soft snort. His divine sense stirred, and a wisp of formless ethereal fire drifted toward the northwest.
A cacophony of sizzling and screams echoed through the void. One could hear things being burned, sizzling incessantly. The plume of smoke dissipated into a dozen or so trails, with one or two others fleeing in terror.
“This method is rather strange.” The scholar, despite his severed arm, showed no sign of anger.
“Wait, senior,” the scholar manifested from the severed arm was about to leave when the horned leopard demon suddenly spoke.
“What’s the matter” he asked, holding up his severed arm.
"When my junior and the slovenly old man teamed up to kill that Snow-Maned Bright Horse, I vaguely heard it mention the term 'Boundary Spirit'. At the time, I didn't take it seriously. To prevent any unforeseen events from happening overnight, we ended the life of the Snow-Maned Bright Horse. This Ice Lynx demon might be defying the predecessors' intentions because of something related to the Boundary Spirit," the Rhinoceros Demon speculated." sword lights that shattered several of the alluring yet deadly Gun Lotuses.However, after the lotus shot, the silvery spear, cold and glittering like a viper, struck towards Lu Xiaitian's throat.
