Volume 1, Chapter 24: Entering the Frost-Heaven Forest

No one knows for certain how many years the Frost Forest has existed on the Sword Spirit Continent, but once you step into it, the way it blots out the sky serves as a testament to its ancient origins.

The towering trees reach at least seventy or eighty feet in height, all of them encased in a layer of crystalline ice that preserves the vibrant green of their former lives.

At present, Lu Hanqiang does not yet possess the strength to engage in a decisive battle against Huang Taiji. There is still a long road ahead in his resistance against the Jin, or rather, the Qing, but all in all, he feels quite satisfied that he is capable of changing history.

Therefore, he had no time to dodge, nor did he have time to unleash a terrifying mental attack.

His arrogant words stirred the indignation of many present. Everyone in the room belonged to the strongest tier of the Eastern First Region; naturally, they were prideful. Several cultivators who had just condensed their void cores were already loudly clamoring to take action.

"There are roughly six major powers in the entire Yulan Continent: the four great empires and the two alliances," Lin Lei nodded.

"Stop acting the saint here. Everyone knows you are nothing more than a disloyal and treacherous traitor who murdered his master. Even the experts of my world hold you in contempt! If most of them had not departed, how could you be allowed to run rampant here?" the otherworldly creature roared as it sprinted.

"Marshal, if I may speak frankly, the identities of our military personnel have always been strictly vetted. There is absolutely no way a spy could exist among us. In my opinion, the enemy must have some special channel to transmit information into our army," Liu En took the opportunity to state his views.

Niu Qingyun paced back and forth in a state of anxious agitation. Gritting his teeth, he wrote a secret letter and hid it in a clandestine drop-off point. Compared to concealing the Heart of Heaven, the Master of Calamity was clearly more significant. After weighing his options, Niu Qingyun decided to report the secret.

Adjusting his attire, he bowed solemnly and deeply to Li Quanyou. This caught Li Quanyou off guard, causing him to drop to his knees in a panic, forcing a flustered Lu Hanqiang to scramble to pull him back up.

The atmosphere remained silent for a moment before Li Yuzhu spoke: "Since you have awakened, I can rest easy. You should get some good rest for now; I will come to see you again when there is time." Having said this, she turned to walk away.

"What is this?" Huang Taiji was shocked by the sudden strike from across the field; he had truly never seen such a thing before.

Seeing that Leng Xixi remained silent, Liang Meiting knew that Leng Yehan must have given her instructions. Just as she lifted her chin with smug satisfaction, she caught sight of Chu Xinran, who was sitting in an inconspicuous spot, obscured by a vase, and her expression changed instantly.

"Do your parents not care that you act like this?" Xin Yan found it difficult to understand. Now that the children had turned out this way, could the parents really just stand by and watch without intervening?

Just as Shi Tian was about to crawl up, the white horse suddenly neighed and pinned him beneath it, leaving him gasping for air.

A chill ran through me instantly. Big brother, surely it wouldn't be that, right? Why does Che Yanyan seem a bit inclined toward lesbianism?

Just as I was deep in thought, the black dog leaped up with the speed of lightning. Good heavens, it jumped a full three meters high, leaving me completely dumbfounded. Damn it, I had never seen a dog jump that high before.

"Who else but her? I will definitely make her pay later," Zhang Zipeng said indignantly.

Cui Mo was naturally happy to have someone pay off the usury on behalf of the old man. But it would be even better to bring the person directly before the old man.

"A newcomer. Not famous yet, so there's no need for such trouble," Mu Xiaojing said.

I slapped her last time and, seeing no reaction, thought she was a pushover. I never expected her to have such sharp teeth and a stinging tongue this time.

At that very moment, the moment she heard her say those words, they felt warmer to Cheng Jin than the sunlight. Deep within the white camellias, she herself looked as beautiful and pure as a white flower.
