Time passed, a few people passed near Qin Yuan and the Goddess of Ice, but they didn’t stop, only glanced at them briefly.
Only, there was one who had completely stopped, a slightly curly chestnut-haired woman, wearing a purple dress, and surrounded by a red aura. Who else if not Xi Nichang.
“What are you doing here?” She asked with narrowed eyes, glancing at the Goddess of Ice as well.
She looked curious as she looked at the silver-haired beauty.
Qin Yuan used his finger to seal his lips. In a low voice, he said, “calm down, don’t speak too loudly.”
Xi Nichang followed the Goddess of Ice’s gaze after hearing Qin Yuan’s words. She looked suspicious and then walked over to Qin Yuan.
“Is there something there?” She asked.
The Goddess of Ice was probably disturbed by her arrival, she looked at Qin Yuan as if to ask for an explanation.
Of course, Xi Nichang was aware of that, but she was also a strong and proud woman, so she ignored the thoughts of the Goddess.
In this situation, Qin Yuan thought it was quite difficult to act. He thought the Goddess of Ice would disapprove of Xi Nichang joining them because it would mean that they would have to distribute branches to three people. However, it was also quite difficult to tell Xi Nichang to leave.
This was not only because of their relationship, Qin Yuan would not sacrifice everything for this woman he had only met for the third time. Only, there was no way she would leave just because he told her to leave.
He wasn’t sure what to say, staring back and forth between the two women.
While he was silent, the Goddess of Ice suddenly spoke. “Let’s go somewhere else!”
Before Qin Yuan could even decide whether to leave or not, Xi Nichang suddenly said, “wait!”
Qin Yuan and the Goddess of Ice stared at her while she continued, “Given our relationship, you should be helping me, not going out with another woman.”
The Goddess of Ice’s’ eyes flickered at her words, she knit her brows.
As for Qin Yuan, he felt strange, didn’t expect Xi Nichang to say that.
Of course, he knew that her words were just a result of her muddled emotions, so he replied, “Don’t misunderstand, Lady Xi. Our relationship is because of your master and I won’t do everything for you, you’re the one who should be doing that. I don’t mind if you want to come along, but I’m here to help this lady. If you come with us, you will get nothing.”
“You?” Xi Nichang gritted her teeth.
At the same time, the Goddess of Ice took a step away. Qin Yuan followed her. However, Xi Nichang also followed, making Qin Yuan feel strange. He thought she was going to sulk and leave.
“Do you want to help too?” Qin Yuan asked.
“Who wants to help,” Xi Nichang replied.
“Then why are you following us?”
“Who’s following you? I just want to go there.”
“…”
The Goddess of Ice who had not said anything to Xi Nichang finally said something to her. “You’re an Immortal’s disciple, right? Don’t you have any pride? Use your own abilities if you want to gain something.”
“What do you mean by saying that?” Xi Nichang was clearly offended, her eyes turned cold as she stared at the Goddess of Ice.
The latter halted her steps and replied, “You are related by marriage to him, right?”
“W-what?” Xi Nichang looked confused by the question. Her muddled emotions made her speak without thinking, but when it was another woman who talked about the relationship between her and Qin Yuan, she wasn’t sure how to react.
The Goddess of Ice added, “don’t worry about your relationship with him, he does want me, but I have rejected him many times. However, you need to know that he has had many women, more than you can imagine.”
Qin Yuan, “…”
“Here he is!”
Suddenly the Goddess of Ice shifted her gaze to the branches ahead.
Her hand moved, emitting an icy light that expanded rapidly. In an instant, it had become thirty times larger than the Great World.
Xi Nichang narrowed her eyes, looking astonished as she saw the Goddess of Ice’s power, it was truly profound.
Qin Yuan himself thought the Goddess of Ice was stronger than him if he didn’t train the Divine Dragon Technique. He wondered how this woman had improved.
When the Goddess waved her hand, all the trees and their branches froze and then shattered into tiny shards, leaving a large area exposed.
“Who’s this?” Several Giant Epochs that were near Qin Yuan and the others turned their gazes to the source energy.
They stared at the Goddess of Ice, Qin Yuan, Xi Nichang. However, they only stared at them for a while because there was something more interesting.
Quite far from them, there were four men. Two golden haired and two black haired.
The golden haired one was Shen Mu. The other carried a long spear. His name is Shen Mao.
The two black-haired men, on the other hand, had a pair of wings on their backs. The people who saw them said, “Night Devil, Dark Devil!”
Of course, there are more interesting than them.
Not far from them, there was a pile of dirt about 10 meters long.
The fact that it wasn’t destroyed while everything else was destroyed proved its uniqueness. Right above it, there was a tree branch. The length is only the length of an adult’s hand, golden in color, emitting a faint light.
However, even with that dim light, its pure aura was actually incomparably clear, making space smell fragrant as if some kind of rare flower had appeared.
“Sacred Tree Branch!” Said the people excitedly. Their spirits made their auras explode, shaking the space to its cracks.
Of course, the four people were very surprised. They looked to be wondering how they were exposed.
Shen Mu who already knew Qin Yuan shouted at him. “Bastard, you again!”
His friends seemed to already know about their conflict, so they shot Qin Yuan a murderous look.
“Go!” The Goddess of Ice said.
Qin Yuan’s true body appeared and he directly charged towards where Shen Mu and the other three were.
At the same time, the Goddess’ body emitted cold smoke, causing snow to fall in space.
BANG!
As her aura exploded, an enormous ice fortress appeared, having the shape of a world. It covered the entire area, stopping the people who were just about to move.
“What are you doing?” One by one the Giant Epochs stared at her. Because there were more coming, so the gazes towards her could practically easily kill even the Great Emperor.
Of course, that didn’t affect her.
She just kept quiet, focused on increasing the strength of the ice fortress. Her own body released ice, covering her figure.
People who saw him knew that she had spared no strength at all, probably using external assistance as well since the fortress she created was twenty times larger than the Great World.
Xi Nichang who happened to be beside her looked a little doubtful. She came here to obtain the Sacred Tree Branch but it became difficult because Qin Yuan had already made a plan. She was a bit worried that if she interfered, it might cause their relationship to go awry. As an individual, she wouldn’t care but this matter was a matter arranged by her master.
“You dare?” On the other hand, Shen Mu shouted again at Qin Yuan seeing him suddenly fly towards him.
Qin Yuan only smiled.
A loud roar resounded from his body, shaking the space before his figure transformed into a gigantic White Dragon.
People were quite surprised because they had a hard time differentiating between it and a real dragon.
On top of that, the dragon’s wings were of various colors, emitting auras that basically only increased speed.
Whoosh!
It penetrated spacetime, appearing directly in front of Shen Mu. The latter was surprised, but before he could even draw his sword, the dragon’s fist had already appeared in front of him.
Bam!
He was hit, thrown far back.
“How dare you.” One of the men from the Devil Clan came forward.
Night light radiated from his body. It is full of rather dark stars. His own hand held a large sword.
Qin Yuan thought he was the Night Devil.
The pressure of his aura somehow made him slightly uncomfortable. He thought he was stronger than Shen Mu.
Apart from him, the golden-haired man carrying the spear, Shen Mao, also gave off the same feeling. He stepped forward, following behind the Night Devil.
As for the last man, he flew towards the Sacred Tree Branch.
‘As I thought, this won’t be easy,’ Qin Yuan thought.
He took a deep breath, his eyes flashed with a mysterious light, and a deathly aura seemed like it was about to explode from within his body.
