Legends of Evil Spirit - C167
If the Clear Sky Peak was a symbol of the Thousand Illusionary Sect, then the Snow Cloud Palace was a symbol of Qiandao Zi.
The Snow Cloud Palace was extremely huge. It was probably dozens of times larger than the Supreme Harmony Hall of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. The entire palace was made of white stone, and it emitted a cold, sinister air. And in this enormous palace, there was not a single person other than Thousand Crane Zi. All of the disciples and elders could only live in the three bamboo pavilions outside.
Zhan Tian and the rest were originally going to accompany me in. After all, Zhan Tian and Wang Feng followed me voluntarily. Since I had matters to attend to, they naturally wouldn’t be able to obtain any more protection. Little Yu and Little Tribulation had never experienced the terror of the cultivation world, so they were even more fearless. They stubbornly grabbed onto my arm and insisted on accompanying me in.
But standing in front of this Snow Cloud Palace, I actually feel a tinge of fear! After hesitating for a moment, I decided to let Zhan Tian follow me. The rest of them should stay here, as Qian Hezi’s prestige was still there, and she had only said that she wanted to see me alone.
Being left at the same place, other than Linglong and Ge Qingshan, the other three people were very disappointed. They separated a wisp of their soul fragments into Zhan Tian’s body, and I could clearly see everyone’s expressions, but Zhan Tian’s eyes revealed a hint of curiosity. It seemed that while he was still nervous, he actually had a bit of interest in the mysterious Qian Hei Zi.
As we slowly walked through Snowcloud Palace, the soul fragments that were hidden within Zhan Tianyun’s soul probed around. I discovered that the entire hall was filled with an aura of death and was extremely cold. It was hard to imagine that a living person had lived here for such a long time.
Yue Qingsi had told me earlier that Qian Hezi had already been in closed-door training here for fifty years. After the match with the Guiyun School, he had entered the Snow Cloud Palace and announced that he was in closed-door training.
It was only a single palm, but it sealed all of the spirit energy and elemental energy in Yuan Ziyu’s body. After which, it instantly scattered, and the immense vibration caused all of her internal organs and meridians to be damaged. However, I could tell that Qian Hezi had definitely held back, otherwise that palm would have definitely killed Yuan Ziyu. This caused me to feel somewhat afraid of Qian Hezi’s cultivation level. If I were to fight someone above the Heavenly Dipper Realm, I would have no hope of winning.
As we went deeper, the cold yin aura became more intense and Zhan Tian started to tremble. I channeled some fire elemental energy into his body before I felt much better. The Snow Cloud Palace was also strange. There was nothing glowing inside, but it could still maintain a trace of light. Although it was not bright, it could still be seen clearly.
There are only two paths to the entire palace. After I entered the gate, there is a door on the left and a door on the right. Qian Hezi did not say anything, but I hesitated for a moment before choosing one.
There was nothing else inside the door. There was only a deep passageway that was filled with many twists and turns. It was unknown how deep it was. I secretly memorized the route, but discovered that it was too complicated to remember with just my memories. However, if Qian Hezi wanted to harm me, he would probably have some scruples. Furthermore, the head of a sect wouldn’t use some despicable method to ambush me.
About four hours later, just as Zhan Tian was feeling a bit depressed, he finally saw a bright ray of light. He immediately told me a thousand times, “Sir, there’s something strange up ahead. The light inside is different from the road. It’s like a light.”
“Mm, keep walking.”
Zhan Tian had a vigilant look on his face as he walked in front of me. As he slowly moved forward, I started to admire Zhan Tian even more. After all, not only is he able to bow his head to a junior and protect me so earnestly, he is even more resolute and decisive. There aren’t many people like me here.
After passing through the dim light, there was a stone platform several feet tall. There were four stone lamps around the stone platform, exactly the same as the ones he had seen in the land of the Imprisoning Demons. When spiritual energy flowed in, it would produce light, and on the stone platform, there was a person sitting cross-legged.
This person had black hair that cascaded down like a waterfall and was spread out on top of the stone platform. The silver muslin robe on his body revealed a noble aura, and it also showed his noble identity, as the muslin robe was extremely wide, covering an area of two zhang around the stone platform. The person’s face was also covered by a silk scarf, which was very thin, but it completely covered his face, and even spirit energy was barely discernible, it was only a woman.
To be able to appear in this Snow Cloud Palace, the identity of this person was obvious.
My arrival didn’t attract Qian Hezi’s attention. She continued to sit there quietly, like a statue.
“Qianhe Zi, didn’t you want to see me? I’m here.”
Zhan Tian was similar to my servant, so he knew that this was not the time for him to speak. Thus, he retreated behind me.
The moment I opened my mouth, Qian Hezi couldn’t do anything else. He slowly pulled down his veil, revealing his opened eyes. There was actually a seductive look in them!
“Am I beautiful?”
The sound seemed to come from beyond the ninth heaven, causing others to feel as if they were riding a cloud. Their consciousness had long since collapsed, and only these three words remained in their minds, unable to be shaken off, infatuated with the sound … Biting my tongue fiercely, my fate soul suddenly appeared, immediately blocking off the temptation, I hurriedly took two steps back, my body was covered in cold sweat, looking at Zhan Tian, my eyes were blurred, my footsteps were blurred, as I walked crookedly towards Qian He, saliva still dripping from my mouth, nodding my head, “Beautiful, beautiful!”
“Zhan Tian, wake up!”
Zhan Tian suddenly shook and spat out a mouthful of blood. He staggered a few steps and fell to the corner behind him. He panted heavily, but he regained his senses. It was just that he looked like he had collapsed.
Turning his head to look at Qian Hezi, he saw that she was still meditating with her eyes closed. Everything from before didn’t seem to have happened at all, it was just an illusion in our heads.
“Qianhe Zi, what is the meaning of this?”
Qianhe Zi slowly pulled down her veil a little bit more. I quickly took a step back and concentrated, afraid that she would pull another trick. However, I was wrong. Qian Hezi, who had pulled down his veil, revealed his eyes that were filled with the vicissitudes of life. His forehead was actually filled with fine wrinkles!
At that time, Yue Qingsi had told me that the Thousand Illusionary Sect was filled with women, and Qianhe Zi was the most beautiful woman there. But how could it be like this?
“White Fox, I’ve heard a lot about you!”
His voice was hoarse and aged, and there was a sense of helplessness and exhaustion in his voice. He was like an old lady in the mortal world that was eighty or ninety years old.
“You are, Qianhe Zi?”
“There is no need to doubt that I am Qian Hezi.”
I wasn’t willing to give up and continued to ask, “The Thousand Illusionary Sect’s Sect Leader, Qian Hezi?”
“Hehe, do you think that with my appearance as an old woman, how could I be the famous and unparalleled beauty?”
I nodded.
“Hehehehehe …”
Qian Hezi suddenly waved his hand and shot out a ball of spirit energy. I wasn’t able to prevent it from falling onto Zhan Tian’s forehead. Zhan Tian received this blow and fainted.
“You …”
“Jussi, don’t be angry. Look at him. He just fainted.”
I turned my head to look at Zhan Tian and realized that this was indeed the case. I didn’t make a move and curiously asked, “If you really are Qian He, how did you become like this?”
“Since Jushi also came in from the outside, you should be able to see the complexity of this passage, right?”
“Yes, it is indeed very complicated.”
“To tell you the truth, both the left and right tunnels lead to this place. The two tunnels are extremely complicated and form a spell formation. This spell formation is a healing spell.”
“Healing her wounds?”
“That’s right!” Qianhe Zi nodded tiredly. “The entire Snow Cloud Palace was built for me to heal my injuries. However, only Yuan’er knows about this.”
“Yuan’er?” “Ouyang Yuan?”
“That’s right. She was actually also seriously injured. However, after so many years, she has only recovered a bit.”
“What exactly happened to all of you? Why did you injure Yuan Ziyu upon leaving the sect? ”
Qianhe Zi let out a soft sigh and said in a low voice, “Violet Rain, she ruined my plan. It’s the same for you, White Fox Jushi.”
I frowned slightly. “Plan?”
“That’s right, my injuries actually occurred hundreds of years ago.”
“A few hundred years ago? Wasn’t that Sect Master Bai Xianzi back then? ”
“White Crane is me, and Thousand Crane is me as well. Merely, this is a name that I changed for the sake of deceiving others.”
“You made a mess of me, so you better tell me the whole story.”
“Yes.”
“700 years ago, I was the head of the Thousand Illusionary Sect, and I was known as White Crane. At that time, I was indeed beautiful and charming, and there were naturally many suitors. However, I refused them all until something happened.”
“What is it?”
“This matter is related to the present Yi Yuan School.”
“Speak.”
The name of Yi Yuan School’s head is called Yi Yuanzi, and at that time, Yuanzi was not the name he is now, and I don’t know what his name is anymore. But he is an outstanding man with extraordinary strength, and indeed, he is a rare young talent.
“However, we met a person during one of our travels.”
“Alone? “Who?”
“I don’t know. We just found out that he stole the baby’s brain and fought him. We didn’t expect him to be a demonic cultivator! When I joined hands with Yinzi, she was actually no match for him. In the end, in order to protect me, she self-destructed her spirit pellet and died together with me, and that demonic cultivator also struck me at the last moment, causing my demonic qi to sink to the bones and constantly drain my life force. When I escaped back to the Thousand Illusionary Sect, she reached out her hands to support me, allowing the demonic qi to enter my body as well.
Qianhe Zi wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes and sighed, “The people of my Thousand Illusion School all train in water elemental energy, and my Snow Cloud Palace is also absorbing water elemental energy from the surrounding Heaven and Earth to help me heal my injuries. Every fifty years, we fight against the Gui Yun Sect is also to obtain water elemental essence stones to treat my injuries.”
