The Fiery-Sun army was attacking from the east side of Lingyun, while Golden-Arrow, Soil-Border, and Clear-Wood attacked from the west, north, and south sides with their own troops.
Qingfeng headed towards the east of Lingyun, as he decided to deal with the Emperor of Fiery-Sun first.
At the same time, many forces and sects watched over Lingyun’s situation from all over the Crimson Fire Continent.
Lingyun had become very famous in the Crimson Fire Continent because of what Qingfeng did this time.
It was the furthest and the weakest kingdom of the five southern kingdoms, but it had the Crimson Fire Desert.
The monarch soul fruit was an imperial grade elixir that appeared in the Crimson Fire Desert, which drew in attention from self-cultivators from all across the continent.
However, the northern, eastern, and western mainland forces were too far from the desert, and couldn’t arrive on time given all the dangerous zones in between.
This time, Qingfeng created a great turbulence in the Crimson Fire Desert. He killed four Crown Princes, along with nine thousand or so self-cultivators, as well as defeated the three rulers of the Crimson Fire Desert, killing two, so he was very famous.
Not only in the southern Crimson Fire Continent, but also outside of it, Qingfeng was very well known.
In the sect palaces of all these other forces on the Crimson Fire Continent, many self-cultivators knew of Qingfeng’s deeds without ever seeing him.
Inside the Dark Ice Sect of the northern Crimson Fire Continent, Xue Lin was training when the Eastern Sea Princess suddenly ran in with a worried look.
Ever since the Eastern Sea Princess entered the Dark Ice Sect with Xue Lin, they got along very well. After all, they were both from Earth and shared similar identities and sentiments.
Because the Eastern Sea Princess had run in very fast, she nearly tripped on the doorsteps, as her face was filled with complexity and her eyes blinked with worry.
Xue Lin was just training on her ice bed, but she stopped and stood up when she saw the Eastern Sea Princess enter. Xue Lin asked, “Yuner Zi, why are you here? What’s the hurry?”
Yuner Zi hurried over to Xue Lin’s side and said, “Sister Xue Lin, I heard people discussing that they saw Qingfeng in the Crimson Fire Desert of the southern part of the Crimson Fire Continent.”
“Qingfeng killed Crown Princes, Lords, Princesses, and several thousand self-cultivators. The four southern kingdom Emperors have led troops themselves towards Lingyun to kill Qingfeng.”
“What, kill my husband?”
Xue Lin’s face changed when she heard Yuner Zi, as she jumped off the ice jade bed and rushed outside without finishing the training.
Yuner Zi called loudly from behind, “Sister Xue Lin wait.”
Xue Lin stopped her footsteps as her face filled with anxiety. She said, “Yuner Zi, what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry to Lingyun and save my husband.”
Yuner Zi patted her head and speechlessly looked at Xue Lin. She knew Xue Lin was worried about her husband, Qingfeng, so she explained, “Sister Xue Lin, the Dark Ice Sect is in the most northern region of the Crimson Fire Continent, several billion miles away from Lingyun. You’re only at the first level of the spirit emperor realm, so you won’t be able to reach Lingyun even if you fly for a year.”
Xue Lin’s face filled with awkwardness, worry, anxiety, and terror, but she didn’t try to leave anymore.
She knew that Yuner Zi was right. She had just reached the spirit emperor realm and had limited abilities. Unless she used a spatial transmission method, it would take her more than a year to travel to Lingyun.
By then, the other Emperors would have killed Qingfeng a long time ago.
Xue Lin bit her lips and said, “No, I’ll beg my master and ask her to rescue my husband.”
Xue Lin turned around and headed towards the Dark Ice Sect Hall, where the Dark Ice Sect sect master trained.
The Dark Ice Sect Hall was made of sixth grade ice meteorite stones. It was completely white and glowed with white seal scripts, which were incredibly frigid, cold, and powerful.
If it were any average self-cultivator, they would have froze to death, but those who trained in the Dark Ice Sect’s ice techniques were able to block off the cold.
It was negative ten degrees or so inside, which was cold enough that some demonic beasts, poisonous snakes, and bugs all froze to death, turning into icicles. Only some powerful emperor level and supreme level demonic beasts could endure this environment.
When Xue Lin arrived at the hall door, she met a massive Demonic Ice Bear that was guarding the area.
The Demonic Ice Bear was very big, almost two meters tall, and was covered in white hair, each strand as strong as an iron bar and sharp as a thorn.
The Demonic Ice Bear’s claws were very sharp; with each swipe of its paws, it could tear a crack in space. It was just training in a sitting pose when it saw Xue Lin approach, so it opened its eyes and stood up.
It naturally knew of Xue Lin; she was the final disciple of Dark Ice Sect and was highly valued by the sect master. Even the master’s son pursued her romantically.
The Demonic Ice Bear bowed with respect and said, “What do you want?”
Xue Lin said, “I want to see the master.”
The Demonic Ice Bear hesitated and said with some difficulty, “The master is training behind closed doors, so she won’t see anyone.”
Xue Lin’s eyes grew anxious. She was worried about Qingfeng and needed to see her master immediately, because her master was incredibly powerful and could foresee whether or not Qingfeng would be safe.
It would be wonderful if Xue Lin’s master could shatter the void and go to the southern Crimson Fire Continent to save Qingfeng.
Xue Lin opened her attractive red lips and shouted inside the hall, “Teacher, disciple Xue Lin wants to see you.”
The Demonic Ice Bear’s face changed, because it knew the sect master hated when someone disturbed her during training. Once an elder accidentally disturbed the sect master’s training and was severely punished.
Then, the Demonic Ice Bear’s face changed because an authoritative voice sounded from inside the hall, “Xue Lin, come in.”
Xue Lin nodded, pushed open the white ice door and walked in, as the Demonic Ice Bear outside looked on with surprise. It knew that the sect master adored and respected Xue Lin, but it didn’t know she valued her this much.
Xue Lin’s shout had already disturbed the sect master’s training, but instead of punishing her, the sect master allowed her to enter.
Without any hesitation, Xue Lin pushed open the ice door and walked in. Inside, the white ice crystals that filled the hall were made entirely of ice jade stones.
The entire hall filled with frigid energy, with nine white ice pillars around the hall. Each ice pillar was one meter thick and released cold energy.
