Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 723 Hidden Mission 9

The next morning, the two continued their journey towards the inner perimeter of the Frozen Domain.

Along the way, monsters would occasionally emerge from the ice crevices or appear from the ice mist.

However, for experts like Yun Chu and Yue Ze Zhenjun, these demonic beasts were nothing to fear.

With a casual wave of his hand, Yue Ze Zhenjun sent an ice shard flying towards the demon beast, instantly killing it; Yun Chu then used magic to repel the approaching demon beasts one by one.

They not only easily dealt with these monsters, but also found many spiritual plants and minerals in some ice caves, reaping a rich harvest.

Several days passed, and in an area shrouded in icy mist, Yun Chu and Yue Ze Zhenjun encountered the male protagonist, Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu, accompanied by two female cultivators at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, was proceeding cautiously.

Their goal was the same as Yun Chu's: to find the Ice Soul Jade Flower.

Yun Chu squinted, carefully recalling the plot of the original book.

She then remembered that in the original story, Zhang Xiu did indeed take away the Ice Soul Jade Flower. True Monarch Yue Ze was a step too late and not only did he not get the Ice Soul Jade Flower, but he also missed out on the Ten Thousand Year Ice Spirit Milk and the Ice Spirit Stone Mine.

"Tsk, with me here, both the Ice Soul Jade Flower and the Ten Thousand Year Ice Spirit Milk will belong to True Monarch Yueze." Yun Chu secretly calculated in her heart.

After nightfall, Yun Chu quietly released the Fire Iron Flying Ants from her storage bag.

These fire iron flying ants were tiny but extremely agile, and under the cover of night, they quickly flew towards Zhang Xiu and his companions' camp.

Yun Chu controlled the Fire Iron Flying Ants, attracting a powerful Nascent Soul demon beast. This Nascent Soul demon beast exuded a cold aura, and wherever it passed, the ice surface froze even thicker.

Zhang Xiu and his two companions sensed the danger and immediately joined forces to fight back.

They each unleashed their magic and engaged in a fierce battle with the Nascent Soul demon beast.

Although the three of them eventually succeeded in killing the Nascent Soul demon beast, they were all injured to varying degrees.

Due to their injuries, they could only find a place to heal and recuperate. Yun Chu and True Monarch Yue Ze, on the other hand, quickened their pace and headed towards the location of the Ice Soul Jade Flower.

Ten days later

The two cautiously made their way into the valley, each step making a crisp sound as they trod on the thick ice.

As they arrived at the mouth of the valley, a powerful aura rushed towards them, causing them to pause in their tracks.

Yun Chu looked closely and saw, deep in the valley, a snow-white Ice Soul Jade Flower radiating a soft light in the cold mist, its petals sparkling with ice crystals, like a dreamlike flower blooming in the snow.

However, next to the Ice Soul Jade Flower, a huge demonic beast was lurking.

This demonic beast resembles a Qilin, its entire body covered in ice-blue scales, each scale shimmering with a cold light. Its eyes are like burning ice flames, radiating a chilling aura. It is a demonic beast at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.

However, the monster was severely injured, and its aura was somewhat unstable.

The reason the monster was so badly injured was because Yun Chu had the Fire Iron Flying Ants injure it first.

This way, it will be easier for True Lord Yueze to kill the guardian beast without injuring it.

Yueze Zhenjun transmitted his voice, saying, "I will lure the demon beast away, and you go to collect the Ice Soul Jade Flower."

"it is good."

As soon as Yueze Zhenjun finished speaking, he used his agile movements to lure the demonic beast away. He transformed into an ice shadow, darting through the valley, while the demonic beast chased after him angrily, letting out earth-shattering roars.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yun Chu quickly ran towards the Ice Soul Jade Flower. When she arrived in front of the Ice Soul Jade Flower, she carefully reached out her hand, wanting to pick this precious spiritual flower.

Just as her fingers were about to touch the Ice Soul Jade Flower, a powerful counterforce struck, causing her arm to ache sharply.

It turns out that there is an invisible barrier around the Ice Soul Jade Flower, making it no easy task to pick it.

Unexpectedly, this Nascent Soul demon beast possessed some skill and even set up a restriction.

Yun Chu carefully observed the patterns on the restriction. She quickly found the restriction's weakness, and with a flash of light, a small magical artifact appeared in her hand.

She inserted the magical artifact into the barrier, infusing it with spiritual power, and the barrier began to glow.

With a soft sound, the restriction was broken. Yun Chu quickly picked the Ice Soul Jade Flower.

Just then, the sounds of a fierce battle between True Monarch Yueze and a demonic beast drifted from afar. Yun Chu put away the Ice Soul Jade Flower and hurried towards True Monarch Yueze's direction.

---

With a flash, True Monarch Yueze charged towards the Nascent Soul Great Perfection demon beast like a cold light.

He formed a hand seal, and icy blue spiritual energy flowed around him, instantly transforming into a layer of crystalline ice armor that enveloped him.

Sensing danger, the monster roared, shaking the entire valley. It was enormous, the size of a small mountain, and exuded a chilling aura.

With a swing of his Xuan Tie sword, True Lord Yue Ze unleashed a sharp icy blade that slashed towards the demonic beast.

The monster opened its huge mouth and spat out a black flame to meet the ice blade. The two collided and exploded with a violent roar. The powerful shockwave swept around and shook the surrounding ice and snow into the air.

Taking advantage of the moment, Yueze Zhenjun lightly touched the ground with his toes and appeared beside the monster like a ghost. The black iron sword in his hand gleamed coldly as he thrust it toward the monster's neck.

The monster reacted extremely quickly, its huge claws sweeping fiercely towards Yueze Zhenjun.

Yueze Zhenjun dodged the attack by sidestepping, but the force of the wind generated by the beast's claws still tore the corner of his clothes.

Seeing that its attack had missed, the monster became even more enraged. It chanted incantations, and the surrounding ice and snow rapidly condensed into enormous ice spikes, which shot towards True Lord Yueze.

True Monarch Yueze quickly formed hand seals, creating an ice wall in front of him to block the ice spikes. However, the impact of the ice spikes was immense, and cracks appeared in the ice wall.

Knowing he could no longer continue in this passive defense, Yueze Zhenjun took a deep breath and frantically circulated his spiritual energy.

He raised the Xuan Tie sword high in his hand, and a huge ice dragon flew out of the sword and pounced on the monster.

Wherever the ice dragon passed, the temperature plummeted, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

The demon beast sensed the ice dragon's immense power and dared not be careless. It gathered all its spiritual energy in front of it, forming a huge shield.

The ice dragon crashed into the shield with a deafening roar, and cracks appeared on the shield.

Just then, Yueze Zhenjun seized the opportunity to charge at the demon beast again. The Xuan Tie sword in his hand shone brightly as he fiercely stabbed it into the demon beast's chest.

The monster tried to dodge, but it was too late. The black iron sword pierced its chest, and blood splattered out.

The demon beast cried out in pain. It swung its body violently, throwing Yueze Zhenjun away.

Yueze Zhenjun flipped in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground. He looked at the injured demon beast and knew this was a golden opportunity.

He gathered his spiritual power again, preparing to launch a final attack. Just then, the monster suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of black venom.

Yueze Zhenjun reacted quickly, dodging to the side as the venom grazed his body. However, a few drops of venom still splashed onto his arm, instantly turning it black and causing a sharp pain.

Yueze Zhenjun gritted his teeth, enduring the pain. He swung his Xuan Tie sword again, and ice blades rained down on the demonic beast.

The monster sustained several more wounds from the ice blades. Its strength gradually waned, and its movements became sluggish.

Seeing his opportunity, True Lord Yueze charged towards the demonic beast. He raised his Xuan Tie sword high and then brought it down fiercely, severing the beast's head. The beast's body crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of snow.

True Monarch Yueze breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at his injured arm and circulated his spiritual power to force out the venom. Just then, he heard Yun Chu's voice: "True Monarch, I have collected the Ice Soul Jade Flower!"

Yueze Zhenjun turned around and saw Yun Chu walking towards him with the Ice Soul Jade Flower in her hand. He nodded and said, "Let's go, let's leave here first."
