If Lin Miaoyin had not used her blood essence to stimulate the power of the jade flute, she might have suffered a deadly loss instead, but what she had not at all anticipated was that Lu Chen had actually blasted You Lingang down beneath the ice ground with a single strike!
She didn’t know whether You Lingang was dead, but the imnse pressure on her vanished instantly.
It was just the cold wind and ice blades here that no longer posed a threat to her.
However, the loss of blood essence made her contemplate leaving, planning to take a dicinal pill outside the valley before anything else.
"Senior, no need to hurry!"
Seeing Lin Miaoyin turn to leave, Lu Chen called out to her urgently.
If she left now, it would be difficult to lure her back into the ice ground again. If it weren’t for her attempt to kill You Lingang and her unfamiliarity with the ice ground, Lin Miaoyin would never have barged in so recklessly.
"Yu Zhibai, what is it?"
Lin Miaoyin narrowed her eyes, raising her guard. Lu Chen’s strength, capable of killing You Lingang, forced her to be wary.
"Senior, I feel like there is soone else in there!"
In a desperate mont, Lu Chen pointed towards the center of the ice ground and spoke.
"Soone else?"
Lin Miaoyin was montarily taken aback.
But she quickly ca to her senses, well aware of her own condition. Should she encounter another Nascent Soul, she feared she wouldn’t be able to cope.
Not to ntion that Lu Chen also posed a certain threat to her now!
"Yu Zhibai, I need to rest for a bit first."
Feeling uneasy in the ice ground, she saw Lu Chen already edging closer as she hesitated. Thus, she turned and flew toward the outer reaches of the valley.
A glint flickered in Lu Chen’s eyes; he could tell that Lin Miaoyin was on guard against him. Keeping her here now might be counterproductive.
There would be no chance to act later!
Logically, this was the ideal mont to make a move, but the Ice Spirit Pearl was still recovering, and there was no sign of the Ice-Strange Fire.
After much deliberation, Lu Chen decided to give up temporarily.
"According to her, the Nascent Souls from the other domains have already entered the secret realm. It’s likely that Xuanyun Sect’s Chu Zhongtian also has an ancestor here, so I just need to keep her outside the valley!"
Lu Chen suppressed his intention to strike and called out to Lin Miaoyin, who was moving away, "Senior, please wait for !"
Lin Miaoyin had reached the peak of the mountain, and one more step would take her out of the ice ground’s area. Hearing Lu Chen’s voice, she turned her head and said coolly, "Aren’t you hurrying up?"
Once she left the ice ground, she did not believe Lu Chen could still pose a threat to her.
Moreover, whether Lu Chen followed or not would also determine Lin Miaoyin’s attitude towards him in the future!
"Don’t worry, Senior," Lu Chen said with a smile, pointing down, "Let check if You Lingang is dead. If he is, I’ll take his ring!"
Lin Miaoyin hadn’t considered this. Her vigilance towards Lu Chen loosened a fraction; she nodded slightly and said, "Make it quick. I will wait for you here. To save you earlier, I used so of my blood essence and need to find a place to recover."
"Rest assured, Senior," Lu Chen replied hastily, flying towards where You Lingang lay while shouting, "I will return after taking his ring!"
As he spoke, he had already flown down into the hole. A few breaths later, when he reappeared, a simple ring was conspicuously present in his hand.
"Senior, I have returned!"
Lu Chen moved through the air, and when he was still about ten yards from Lin Miaoyin, he saw that she had descended from the mountain peak and left the area of the ice ground.
It seed natural, but it appeared sowhat deliberate.
Lu Chen thought to himself, "It seems like my previous ’Ice Over the World’ made her wary."
"However, if she intends to kill cultivators from other domains, and if an ancestor from Xuanyun Sect arrives, I can then take the opportunity to assist Xuanyun Sect’s ancestor in killing her. That would ingratiate with them, making it more convenient to infiltrate Xuanyun Sect later to gather information!"
This was Lu Chen’s true objective!
Clutching the ring, Lu Chen flew out of the ice ground without delay, and even pretended to accidentally discover the hiding place of Li Yanran and Qin Yaotiao!
"Senior, look, there seems to be a cave over there!"
Following the direction Lu Chen pointed, Lin Miaoyin’s eyes instantly lit up.
"Good, Yu Zhibai, stay here and protect . I will enter the cave to take a dicinal pill and then co out!"
Lin Miaoyin was delighted.
"Please wait, Senior!"
Lu Chen called out urgently again.
Lin Miaoyin’s figure faltered, and she turned her head, her face cold.
"Yu Zhibai, don’t you want to recover quickly?"
With a seemingly fearful expression, Lu Chen inwardly remained serene. Opening his palm, he spoke, "Senior, I might also get injured by this ring."
Lin Miaoyin snorted lightly, uncertain if Lu Chen was acting intentionally or not, "Yu Zhibai, next ti speak directly if you have sothing to say. Do you understand?"
With a subtle threatening tone, Lin Miaoyin then turned and entered the cave, setting up a barrier to separate herself from Lu Chen.
Lu Chen withdrew his hand and scoffed inwardly.
"She’s probably worried that if I obtain sothing from North Dragon Sect, it would increase my strength, right?"
