Chapter 99: Farewell Ning Xue Rong

  After leaving the cave, Zhang Heng's heart unexpectedly produced a faint sense of expectation, and in his mind, he recalled the scene where he first met Ning Xueying in that dark cave on Fangyun Mountain.

  Zhang Heng didn't use any magic, relying solely on his physical strength to leap agilely through the icy and snowy terrain. Before long, he arrived at Luo He's residence.

  The gate was open, and as soon as Zhang Heng entered, he heard Luo He's voice full of warmth:

  "Tang Daoyou, you've arrived."

  Luo He was standing at the door, watching Zhang Heng enter, with a faint smile on his face.

  Zhang Heng stepped forward and asked: "Luo Dao friend, I heard that the spell was successfully cast. Has Ning Shimei recovered her human form?"

  Luo He smiled slightly and shouted into the house: "Xue Rong, Tang Daoyou has come to see you, aren't you going to hurry up and come out?"

  A faint rustling sound came from inside the house, and a slender figure slowly emerged.

  Zhang Heng looked and saw that it was not Ning Xue who was this?

  Still the same delicate and fair snow-white face, a pair of eyes that seemed to hold morning dew sparkled slightly, slender and lovely eyelashes trembled lightly, long and curved eyebrows like a crescent moon in the night sky.

  Long and smooth green silk in this snowy world playfully dances, like a little elf.

  A slender, delicate figure wearing a white long dress the color of snowflakes, with the lower half revealing a small section of warm, rosy pink legs, and on her feet are shallow blue, exquisite embroidered shoes. Standing quietly in this eternally icy and snowy land, she is like a beautiful princess who has walked out of a fairy tale.

  Zhang Heng stared blankly at Ning Xue for a few moments, feeling that she hadn't changed much from the female cultivator in his memories.

  "Tang Shixiong..." Ning Xue Rong looked at Zhang Heng with a hint of shyness.

  Zhang Heng gazed at the face in front of him, which was as delicate as a fine porcelain doll. He felt somewhat perplexed in his heart. The girl in front of him and Luo Ningxue had equally stunning looks, so why did this girl seem especially pleasing to the eye?

  "Ning Shimei, it's been a year since we last met, and apart from changing your clothes, you don't seem to have changed much."

  Zhang Heng smiled, if he were on Earth, seeing such a beauty, he would probably not even have the courage to strike up a conversation. But after truly merging with this flesh and devouring the original owner's consciousness, everything was so natural.

  Ning Xue Rong slightly raised her head, gazing at Zhang Heng with a few threads of sincerity in her eyes: "Xue Rong wants to thank Shixiong for taking care of me meticulously over the past year. If it were another cultivator, I'm afraid I would have been taken away to refine elixirs by now. I know that Shixiong is a good person."

  Good guy? Zhang Heng couldn't help but laugh at this, he himself didn't think of himself as a good person.

  As soon as I came into this world, I tainted a stunning beauty. When I first met Ning Xueying, I also had ulterior motives, and even took advantage of her.

  What Zhang Heng could never forget was that when he was crushed by the entire iceberg in the canyon, it was also Ning Xue who silently healed his wounds, allowing him to finally master the Void Flame and improve his skills.

  It can be said that Ning Xuerong is Zhang Heng's lifesaver.

  Zhang Heng gazed at Ning Xueying, who was within arm's reach, and said with a hint of mockery: "Ning Shimei, actually you also saved my life once, so we're even now."

  Ning Xue Rong's eyes sparkled with dew-like tears, her voice firm as she said: "When you were suppressed by Luo Jie's magic on the ice mountain, I promised to heal your wounds for you, and in return, you would protect my safety..."

  "Is there such a thing?" Zhang Heng recalled it and remembered the scene at that time.

  At that time, Zhang Heng felt that his injury was recovering slowly, so he made an appointment with Ning Xue Rong, who had transformed into a snow lotus. He would protect her safety, and she would be responsible for providing logistical support for him.

  "Xue Rong never forgets anything. For those who are good to Xue Rong, she will always remember them in her heart, and for those who are not good to Xue Rong, I also won't forget."

  Ning Xue Rong quietly walked up and stood beside Zhang Heng, the faint scent of a young girl subtly spreading around.

  "Xue Rong, you still won't forgive me..."

  A faint sigh was heard, and Luo Ningxue and Zhao Rui walked in.

  Ning Xue Rong's eyebrows slightly furrowed as Luo Ningxue walked in, and she hummed softly before transforming into a blooming snow lotus in an instant.

  Soft white light flows on the snow lotus, a strange beauty.

  Xue Lian directly flew towards Zhang Heng, and Zhang Heng subconsciously caught her.

  "Xue Rong's sister hid as soon as she saw me, it really made her sister sad." Luo Ning Xue looked at Xue Lian with some helplessness.

  Zhang Heng's palm touched the snow lotus that was emitting a cool aura, and yet he felt a warm feeling in his heart.

  "Senior brother, please put Xue Feng into the storage bag."

  The pure white petals of the snow lotus quivered slightly, and to my surprise, it could speak human language. It seems that when Luo He helped him reorganize his body, he also enhanced Ning Xue's abilities.

  Zhang Heng pinched his fingers together in a secret hand seal, and the Snow Lotus that Ning Xuefeng had transformed into was sucked into his storage bag.

  Luhe saw Zhang Heng put Xue Lian into his storage bag, and a reluctant look flashed in his eyes.

  "Tang Dao, you must remember that every time Xue Rong appears in human form, she will rapidly consume her yuanqi. Therefore, each appearance in human form should not exceed half a watch, and after that, it can appear again only after half a month. As her own strength increases, there will be more opportunities to appear in human form."

  "What about her cultivation then?" Zhang Heng asked with some difference in his tone.

  The Luo River's hand moved slightly, and in the void appeared a lotus platform made of ice crystals.

  The lotus platform is under the control of the Luo River, suddenly large and small, a faint cold air is emitted around.

  "This is the Snow Jade Lotus Platform that I made in my spare time, this object was specially created for Xue Feng, so she can barely use this treasure to cultivate."

  "Put this Snow Jade Lotus Platform into my specially made storage bag and she can cultivate inside."

  Luo River took out a small, palm-sized blue storage bag and handed it over to Zhang Heng along with the Snow Jade Lotus Platform.

  Zhang Heng put the Snow Jade Lotus Platform into a special storage bag he had just obtained.

  At first glance, Zhang Heng thought that this storage bag was nothing special, but he didn't rush to explore it. He took out the snow lotus from his own storage bag and transferred it into this storage bag.

  "Xue Rong is now in your care......" Luo He's tone was flat, but Zhang Heng could still sense a hint of reluctance and helplessness.

  "Don't worry." Zhang Heng fell silent for a moment before spitting out these three words.

  Luo He and Zhang Heng locked eyes for a long time, then spoke up: "There are many secrets on your body, the cultivation method is extremely special, and future achievements are not something I can estimate."

  Zhang Heng fell silent, recalling his previous conversation with the statue, which also seemed to be aware of its own potential.

  "Is your next destination the Blood Kill Temple?" Luo He asked again.

  Zhang Heng's eyes flashed with a fierce light, his voice firm as he said: "Right, Blood Kill Temple!"

  Luo He fell into a brief reverie, his tone distant as he said: "Blood Kill Temple, I once entered it before..."

  Zhang Heng didn't find it strange either. Thousands of years ago, Luo He had also entered the Blood Kill God Temple as a trial-taker.

  Luhe's heart couldn't bear to kill people, but his own strength at that time was definitely top-notch, and it would be easy for him to rush into the temple.

  "There are indeed many treasures inside the Blood Kill Cave, including even multiple pieces of extremely rare and precious celestial treasures. However, getting these treasures is incredibly difficult..."

  "Dozens of elite disciples who entered the Blood Kill God Temple with me, in the end only I was left." Luo He said with a lingering fear as he thought back to everything.

  Zhang Heng's expression did not change upon hearing this.

  Dozens of sect elites, in the end, only Luo He walked out alive.

  "After entering this temple, the most important thing is to control your own greedy heart. As long as you can overcome your greed and persist until the end, there will definitely be no problem."

  "I have observed with my divine consciousness that among you who entered the cave, there are several people with extraordinary innate talents, even surpassing mine when I was young. Moreover, there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Adding the two of you, this batch of cultivators participating in the trial is the strongest lineup I have seen in thousands of years."

  "What's inside the Blood Kill Temple?" Zhao Rui couldn't help but ask.

  "The layout inside the Blood Temple is different every time, but they all have one thing in common - they are filled with slaughter."

  Massacre? Zhang Heng didn't find it strange at all.

  "There is also a very crucial factor, which is luck. If you are unlucky, even if your strength is strong, you may still die. This is also the most difficult factor to control."

  Luck? Zhang Heng let out a small sigh, this thing, no one can control it.

  "Cong Xue, are you going into the temple this time too?" Luo He gazed at Luo Cong Xue not far away.

  Ling Xue's face, as white as jade, wore a faintly wan smile: "I didn't plan to go at first, but now I've decided to. My fate is predetermined by heaven; if I can survive this time and come out alive, then I'll start my new life. If luck isn't on my side, then I'll just return to where I came from...where I was born, that's where I'll die..."

  Luhe's face showed a hint of reluctance: "Can't you stay? I can send you out of the cave..."

  "My mind is made up." Luoyin Xue gazed at the elegant young man who wandered in her dreams with complex emotions.

  Zhang Heng gazed silently at the Blood Sun suspended in the sky of the cave, thinking to himself that too many people's fates were intertwined in this ruthless killing field, and would he be the ultimate victor?
