The freezing wind, like giant pythons armed with snow-white blades, slithered between them, alternating speed and making eerie sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between the ice pillars, various human figures frozen in ghostly blue ice and snow appeared lifelike, still maintaining the same posture as the moment they were frozen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan bent down, grasped one frozen person. Flames reluctantly spread, quickly thawing the frozen figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water dripped down, transforming into ice particles mid-air, clinking and clattering as they hit the ground, merging with the frozen soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan quietly looked at that person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were still alive, he would awaken after thawing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, that person did not wake up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon thawing, his body hung limply with no sign of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, wake up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan called out to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wake up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the person still showed no response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan was patient, maintaining this person’s body temperature, and even took the Wine Gourd from his waist, giving him a sip of Spring Dream Brew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waited for a full half-hour until a strange, long-dead stench began to emit from the body.

As the snow fell, the slide’s height was continuously accumulating thick and high layers of snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the snow accumulates to a certain extent, it would be pushed into the slide’s opening and gradually pushed downwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some corpses nearby were also slowly moved by this pushing force towards the slide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over time, corpses would certainly flow out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Ice Coffin Ghost.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’People who come here, upon realizing they are not merely frozen but truly dead, must feel an immense grievance deep in their hearts.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Though there is no Ghost Realm Meat Field here, this flowing glacier can carry these grievance-ridden corpses outside, potentially reaching some Land of Extreme Yin, thus forming Ice Coffin Ghosts.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Everything fits.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So then...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan pulled out the White Snake Blade from his coat, turning towards the depths of the Immortal Tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’All answers lie within that labyrinth.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked forward cautiously, alertly watching his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the ’3600~51341’ flashing around him brought him a sense of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the black shadow that attempted to assassinate him previously was only ’625~635’ in data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Whatever unexpected events happen, at least I can fight, right?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan thought so, then stopped before the labyrinth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The labyrinth, towering several stories high, with its twists and turns vaguely visible inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for the entrance, both sides of the labyrinth descended into bottomless abysses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan stood at the maze’s entrance, pondered briefly, raised his hand, and pressed it against the giant ice crystal wall at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sss...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ssss...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames surged from his body, making contact with the ice crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive wall began to melt, but like a sandcastle being toppled, it refroze just as it began to flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan tried for a while; after melting several dozens of feet of the wall with no resulting change, he no longer held back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clenching the White Snake Blade tightly, the Concealing Power within it resonated like the sea as he lightly tapped the ice wall...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ice wall shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan continued forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang bang bang!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One ice wall after another shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan began deconstructing the maze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dismantling for a while, finding still no reaction from the labyrinth, he attempted to fly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No flying restrictions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He started to maneuver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twisting around the fracturing maze entrance, occasionally tossing ice blocks into the distance, he appeared to be testing the existence of boundaries or something similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan advanced steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steadily dismantling the maze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, as he dismantled several more feet, he heard a resigned and distraught female voice from deep within the labyrinth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Barbarian King, stop tearing it down, come in for a talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan halted his actions and said, \"You come out for a talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the Barbarian King, such a figure, really afraid to see a little woman like me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan shouted, \"Afraid!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep in the labyrinth, the woman was silent for a very long time before saying, \"This involves a great secret, and since you’ve made it here, you are qualified to know it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, you lead, I assist, we govern the Western Pole Nine Flames together, defending this place, how about it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a token of sincerity...

At the far end, a girl draped in Silver Gauze, barefoot, danced seductively atop the wolves’ backs, emerging with the snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face was pure, her gaze alluring, like a virtuous maiden first taking to water, stirring one’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Li Yuan, she smiled sweetly, stretching her body, swaying her hips like a ripe peach on a branch ready to be picked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Barbarian King, come...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wolf Mother tempted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take me, and let’s rule this place together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan glanced at the ’625~635’ beside her, stepping forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wolf Mother smiled, opening her arms.
