Chapter 93 Snow Mountain

  This is a range of snow-capped mountains stretching for dozens of miles, with the distant view showing hazy mountain tops shrouded in clouds and mist, all peaks covered in a layer of ice and snow, as if arriving at the northernmost extremity.

  Zhang Heng and Zhao Rui arrived here after a flight of incense sticks.

  Under the illumination of the Blood Moon, the snow-covered mountain peaks reflect a beautiful color like red haze, bringing a few strands of fantasy and mystery in its grandeur.

  "It's really beautiful here, it reminds me of my own home..." Zhao Rui gazed curiously at the distant snow-capped mountains, and a nostalgic look soon appeared in his eyes.

  As soon as Zhang Heng approached these snow-capped mountains, he felt a chill in the air, which formed a sharp contrast with the adjacent grasslands.

  If it were on Earth, Zhang Heng would have definitely questioned such a climate, but in this Blood Killing Cave Mansion, as long as something exists, it is reasonable.

  As the two approached bit by bit, the chill in the air became increasingly evident, ordinary low-level cultivators would probably not be able to withstand it here.

  Fortunately, neither Zhang Heng nor the other person was an ordinary person. One had a super strong physique and was an abnormality, while the other was a lucky person who had obtained the innate spiritual treasure, Huo Yuan Pearl.

  When the two men approached the iceberg at a distance of about 100 meters, the ground under their feet was frozen with a layer of ice that wasn't particularly thin.

  Gazing at the highest peak among the snow-capped mountains, Zhao Rui exclaimed in surprise: "It should be there!"

  "Alright, let's fly over," Zhang Heng said with a nod.

  "Good!" Zhao Rui took the lead and accelerated away.

  But at this moment, Zhang Heng's figure suddenly stopped.

  A burst of excited spiritual fluctuations came from the storage bag.

  "Big brother, what's wrong?" Zhao Rui flew out for dozens of meters before flying back.

  Zhang Heng felt a spiritual fluctuation coming from the storage bag and thought to himself, "Why did Xue Lian react after arriving here?"

  With a stretch of his hand, Zhang Heng took out the snow lotus from the storage bag.

  Xue Lian's body trembled slightly, and the crystal-like petals on her flower crown shimmered with a soft white light, sending waves of joyful and excited spiritual fluctuations to Zhang Heng.

  "Big brother, is that a Snow Lotus in your hand?" Zhao Rui looked at Zhang Heng's hand in disbelief.

  Zhang Heng asked in surprise: "Have you seen this kind of snow lotus before, Shidi?"

  Zhao Rui nodded repeatedly: "Yes, last time Luo Shizi turned into this appearance, fortunately I met a master from the outside world, and let her recover her human form."

  Zhang Heng was shocked and didn't expect that Luo Ningxue had also become a Snow Lotus, it seems that her identity is very similar to that of Ning Xuerong.

  "Ning Shimei, is this also your hometown?" Zhang Heng looked at the snow lotus blooming in the icy and snowy land in front of him, and was slightly shocked by a strange beauty.

  Xue Lian understood Zhang Heng's words, and a snow-white petal trembled up and down several times, proving the fact that Zhang Heng had guessed.

  Zhang Heng thought to himself that the so-called "Ice Mountain Snow Lotus" implied the birthplace of the Snow Lotus.

  Although the snow lotus in this world is different from that on Earth, its growing environment has not changed.

  The last time she fought against Luō Níng Xuě, this woman almost put Zhāng Héng to death, but she also paid a huge price, transforming into a snow lotus that was no different from Níng Xuě Róng at the moment.

  Zhang Heng didn't put Xue Lian into his storage bag either and continued flying with Zhao Rui towards the tallest snow peak.

  "Second Brother, who was it that saved the Snow Lotus that Luo Shi's sister had transformed into?" Zhang Heng asked.

  Zhao Rui didn't hide it either, with a hint of reminiscence in his tone: "It seemed like he was a disabled old man, there was no spiritual energy within him. At first, I even begged him to save Luo Shixiong, but he refused. Later...in the end, he ended up saving Luo Shixiong, and I still don't know his name."

  Zhang Heng let out a quiet sigh: "The last time I didn't kill Luo Ningxue was also destined by heaven."

  "Big brother, is there any conflict between you and Luo Shijie? Please don't fight this time when you meet, okay?" Zhao Rui pleaded with Zhang Heng.

  Zhang Heng's face sank slightly, and he said, "Second brother, is it your Luo Xianzi who wants to put me to death? Can't I still fight back?"

  Zhao Rui hastily said: "Big brother, Luo Shixiong almost died at your hands last time. She has already told me that she will never oppose you again!"

  Zhang Heng coldly snorted: "Last time I almost lost my life at her hands..."

  That time Zhang Heng fell into a deep abyss of ten thousand feet, was pressed by the entire iceberg, and almost lost his life there.

  However, Zhang Heng also made a fortune out of misfortune, cultivating the Void Flame in that perilous environment and increasing his power by a notch.

  "Big brother, aren't you doing well now? Your strength has also increased so much, this time Luo Shijie will definitely treat you well." Zhao Rui seemed to really want to facilitate a reconciliation between Zhang Heng and Luo Ningshuang.

  Zhang Heng said indifferently: "Everything depends on my mood."

  Zhao Rui's face was filled with gloom, and he followed Zhang Heng with his head down in a depressed manner.

  Before long, Zhang Heng and the others flew to the top of this highest snow peak. The temperature here was even lower, and it had reached the point where water would freeze into ice.

  "I'm a bit cold!" Zhao Rui's body circulated a faint red glow to resist the chill in the air.

  Seeing Zhang Heng standing beside him with an air of indifference, Zhao Rui exclaimed in surprise: "Big brother, aren't you cold?"

  Zhang Heng admired the snowy scenery on the mountain top and said casually: "I don't feel anything."

  No reaction? Zhao Rui was completely struck, staring at Zhang Heng for a few moments, and found that he didn't show any signs of using magic.

  "Second brother, we've arrived at the location. How come that Luoxianzi of yours still hasn't come out?" Zhang Heng said calmly, his gaze sweeping around the chilly surroundings as if they were nothing, his tone indifferent.

  "Oh, I almost forgot!" Zhao Rui hastily took out a jade token from his storage bag.

  This jade token is very small, snow-white in color, and has a faint luster on its surface. At first glance, it's clear that it's no ordinary object.

  Zhao Rui struck out a few simple spirit seals with his hand and muttered some words to himself.

  "Hiss!" The jade token transformed into a streak of light in the sky, and then dispersed again.

  In an instant, a snow-white light enveloped the entire mountain top.

  Rumble, rumble, the entire mountain was a faint tremor, making Zhang Heng and others slightly surprised.

  The white light disappeared, and the scene unfolding before his eyes left Zhang Heng utterly astonished.

  This is a dreamlike country made up of ice crystals.

  There are dwellings slightly smaller than human houses, tall and towering spires of ice, and arched bridges that shimmer with an otherworldly glow under the Blood Sun...

  But everything here is made up of a special kind of ice crystal.

  At the same time, a layer of white light protected everything here, and Zhang Heng and Zhao Rui had already entered the interior of this white light.

  Looking at these ice crystals shining brightly under the blood moon, Zhang Heng suddenly remembered the glacier that had pressed down on him in the canyon, which was also composed of ice crystals.

  However, these two are clearly not the same substance.

  "Big brother! Look!" Zhao Rui suddenly exclaimed to Zhang Heng.

  Zhang Heng followed Zhao Rui's gaze and discovered a humanoid creature entirely composed of ice and snow.

  What? Is this a snowman?

  But when Zhang Heng saw that this "snowman" was moving quickly towards him, he immediately denied this idea.

  This humanoid creature is roughly the same shape as a human, but slightly shorter, with facial features similar to those of humans, except for its pale red eyes.

  Creaking and creaking! This "snowman" quickly ran to Zhang Heng's side.

  "Human monk, how did you intrude into the territory of our Snow Ridge clan?" The fact that this "snowman" could speak human language was somewhat unexpected to Zhang Heng.

  Xueliang tribe? Zhang Heng was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that the two of them had actually intruded into the territory of such an unfamiliar tribe.

  As for Xueliang tribe, Zhang Heng had never heard of it before, perhaps they were not creatures within this realm.

  "This Snowy Peak tribesman, we were invited to come here, not intruding unintentionally." Zhang Heng smiled and curiously sized up this Snowy Peak tribesman.

  "An invitation? That's impossible! For a thousand years, our Snowy Peak clan has never invited human cultivators to this place."

  The Xuelinger's gaze turned cold and his body emitted a terrifying icy aura.

  Zhang Heng's face changed slightly, and the aura emanating from this Snow Ridge tribesman was already beyond that of a Qi Refining stage cultivator, enough to rival a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

  "Have we come to the wrong place?" Zhang Heng looked at Zhao Rui with a puzzled expression, as if he hadn't taken a humanoid creature that could rival Zhu Bajie seriously.
