The white slender man smiled, and with a slight sway of his body, he disappeared into thin air.
On one side of the Dragon Teeth Swamp, on a clean rock surrounded by green grass, a white-clothed girl sat on the rock. Her exquisite features seemed to have been carved out of a dagger, and her almost perfect face had a suffocating power. She had a tranquil smile on her face as she sat there quietly, looking up at the sky above the withered forest. A few scattered rays of light shone down, and her face was filled with boundless vigor.
On both sides of her stood two figures. On the left was a stooped old man with his hands hanging by his side. He was wearing a snow-white robe, and he looked like an ancient and sacred priest.
On the right was a slender woman. She was also dressed in a white robe. Her cold and elegant face carried a faint arrogance. She looked indifferently at everything in front of her. Only when her eyes occasionally turned to the white-clothed girl on the rock would she reveal a respectful smile.
"Shua —"
A gust of wind swept over, and with a flash of white light, a white-clothed man floated down in front of the white-clothed girl on the rock. He held a dead God Slaying Rabbit in his hand and said respectfully, "I'm back, Lord Emissary. This is a God Slaying Rabbit that I caught. It specializes in feeding on God Emperor level creatures, so its meat must taste good."
"Suo Xi, you were gone for so long."
The white-clothed girl shook her head. "You only caught one God Slaying Rabbit. I thought you encountered something troublesome."
The white-clothed man called Suo Xi shrugged helplessly. "This Dragon Teeth Forest is too shabby. There's no other way. It's already good enough to catch a God Slaying Rabbit."
"Xue Na, stop talking. Hurry up and cook."
The stooped old man who had been silent all this while frowned. His expression was solemn and steady, and his gaze was like lightning.
Suo Xi and Xue Na looked at each other and shrugged helplessly. They turned around and began to get busy. First, they used a sharp dagger to skin the God Slaying Rabbit before barbecuing it.
This dagger wasn't an ordinary dagger, and the flames were naturally not ordinary either.
That stooped old man turned his head to look at the white-clothed girl on the rock. With a pious and respectful expression, he said, "Lord Messenger, we're tired from rushing all the way here. This God Slaying Rabbit is enough for us to relieve our fatigue. It's not bad to try it while we're at it. After all, after reaching this level of cultivation, we haven't eaten for too long and have almost forgotten the feeling of eating. It's quite sad."
The white-clothed girl had a tranquil smile on her face as she softly said, "I understand Uncle Long's good intentions. Let's eat together."
Very quickly, the God Slaying Rabbit was roasted. Golden oil seeped out from the crispy skin and fell into the flames, causing the sparks to shoot out a little bigger.
That Suo Xi carried the God Slaying Rabbit in front of the white-clothed girl and said respectfully, "Lord Envoy, you can have it first."
The girl in white didn't stand on ceremony. She gracefully tore off a rabbit's leg and said, "You guys can eat the rest. I don't need so much. We'll reach the Snow Region soon. You guys have to maintain your best physical strength and condition. Otherwise, you'll easily lose your lives …"
Everyone's hearts trembled. Their brows twitched, but their expressions didn't change much. When they came, they were already prepared to die.
Some people were willing to give up their lives for the beliefs in their hearts.
Suo Xi didn't insist and listened to the white-clothed girl. He took the remaining rabbit meat and shared it with Uncle Long and Xue Na.
"Lord Envoy, what level are the monsters in the outermost region of the Snow Region usually at?" Suo Xi looked up and asked the white-clothed girl respectfully.
The white-clothed girl gently tore off a piece of meat from the rabbit's leg with her fingers and gracefully put it into her mouth. She looked up and smiled politely. "You don't have to keep calling me Lord Envoy. Just call me Ye Zhu."
She paused for a moment. Then, with a faint melancholy on her face, she said in a low voice, "This Snow Region is very dangerous. Even the monsters in the outermost region are at the Epoch Realm. If you go a little deeper, you might encounter a Virtual Sky World."
The pupils of Suo Xi and the others shrank. They couldn't help but gasp.
…
Ice Snow Empire, on the moat outside Wellman City.
The frozen moat was wide and long. Lian Guang and Di Zang Chuan walked slowly on it. Suddenly, Lian Guang's brows twitched. A faint fluctuation came from the air. He stopped and tilted his head to look at a steep mountain beside him.
Di Zang Chuan was puzzled. "What's wrong?"
"If …" Lian Guang's eyes shone brightly. "If I'm not wrong, we've met our people nearby."
Di Zang Chuan looked around and said blankly, "No. Why didn't I feel anything?"
Lian Guang glanced at him and smirked. "That's because he's stronger than you. Plus, he has something that blocks your senses. Even if he brushes past you, you won't be able to sense him."
"Then how did you sense them?" Di Zang Chuan didn't get angry. Instead, he asked curiously.
"Because of [it]."
A thick yellow light appeared in Lian Guang's palm. A small longsword floated from his palm: Divine Earth Sword.
…
In the dense forest west of Wellman City.
On the slope, the thick layer of snow suddenly loosened. Then, a pale and slender hand slowly stretched out from the snow. Then, the entire piece of snow shook off, and a figure sat up from it.
This was the headless corpse of the black-robed woman. The loose black robe was still draped over her body, but there was no head on her neck. The bowl-sized scar did not freeze in the wind and snow, and was still gurgling with viscous blood. When the light shone on it, the blood vessels inside were twisting like small snakes, and then they quickly stood up and entangled together, quickly growing large pieces of flesh and blood. In an instant, a head was reconstructed.
Blood vessels, bones, skin, hair … it was quickly reconstructed into the black-robed woman's appearance. She slowly opened her eyes. Her black pearl-like eyes carried a sharp coldness and killing intent. She touched her cheek and murmured, "Don't you know? As long as there's a piece of flesh left in the Heart Realm, they'll be reborn.
Although you used the [Godsealing Dagger] to imprison my soul in my head, I still have [it]. How can I die so easily … "
Her lips curled into a sly smile.
"Is that so?" Suddenly, a faint voice came from the cold wind.
Her expression changed slightly as she turned her head to look. The cold wind stirred up the snow on the ground, and two figures slowly walked over from the hillside. The first thing she saw was the upper bodies of the two people. One of them was a man in a silver robe, and his appearance was a little exaggerated. The man in black behind him looked casual, and the outline of his cheeks was like a broad saber, sharp and cold.
She stared at the two of them for a while, and then suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. A smile appeared on her lips. "So you're on the same side. Judging from your auras, you should both be emissaries. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Tia, a four-seal emissary." Four light spots appeared on her forehead.
Ksitigarbha was slightly startled. His eyes suddenly flashed with an inexplicable light.
Lian Guang's eyes lit up. His lips curled into a smile. His delicate boots stepped on the soft snow. He walked in front of Tia and looked down at her. He stared at the four light spots on her forehead without blinking. The smile on his face grew wider. "So you're a messenger with four seals. No wonder your aura is so strong …"
Ksitigarbha smiled. "Hello, I'm a messenger with nine seals. My name is Hei Ene." Nine light spots appeared on his forehead.
Tia sighed in relief. Her expression became more natural. She turned to look at Lian Guang in the silver robe and smiled. "What about you?"
Lian Guang's long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly. His bright blue eyes were as gentle as a piece of pure jade. "Me …" He smiled and slowly raised his hand. The silhouette of Halran Gaia appeared on his palm and spun. "I'm also a messenger with four seals." His smile was indescribably charming and handsome. Four light spots appeared on his forehead.
The light spots were so dazzling that Tia's expression changed abruptly. Her body quickly slid a hundred meters away from the snow. A few sharp spikes protruded from the ground where she had been sitting.
Tia's eyes narrowed slowly. She stood up and stared at Lian Guang for a while. Then, she suddenly smiled like a lily blooming in the snow. She relaxed her body with an elegant smile on her face. She lightly flicked the snow off her clothes and said casually, "So you're the messenger with four seals who was sealed in the ancient world … I grew up listening to your story."
Lian Guang smiled and said gracefully, "When I roamed the ancient world, you weren't even born yet."
A cold wind blew through the snow between them, sending the snow flying.
"Yes …" Tia smiled lightly. "So now that I've been born, there's no need for you to exist anymore."
She sighed softly and said sadly, "I think it's better for you to be sealed … Otherwise, you wouldn't have to run around. The outside world is so dangerous."
"Is that so?"
Lian Guang's eyes narrowed. His feathery eyebrows flew into his temples. He looked indescribably handsome and cold. "Child, are you trying to teach an adult a lesson?
Looking at you, you seem to have been injured. I didn't expect the heavens to look down on me and send an injured person to me. Sigh. "
He shook his head and sighed. "What a pity. I wanted to let you go and deal with you after you've recovered. But it's too difficult to find you. I can only put up with this."
Tia laughed coldly. "A sealed piece of trash like you wants to become a messenger with four seals again?
What a joke. "
She raised her hands. Her newly grown arms were no different from the original ones. She used them with great familiarity, and a yellow light glowed on her fingertips.
Lian Guang's expression darkened, as if Tia's words had pierced the softest part of his heart. His eyes flashed with a dagger-like cold light. He turned his head and said in a low voice, "Stand further away. If you get caught in the crossfire, you'll lose your life."
