Chapter 1367: Galloping on Blade Intent

"Ye brother, you're too courteous! How about this: you keep it for now, and when you later buy one, you can return it to me, same thing."

"Consider it a loan from me, that should be fine, right?"

Xie Tianhong insisted that Ye Liuyun use the blade.

"Well… alright, I'll use it for now!"

Ye Liuyun finally, albeit reluctantly, agreed and took the flame‑affiliated blade in his hand.

The moment the blade was in his hand, its flames instantly leapt a foot upward, and Ye Liuyun's domineering blade intent also radiated outward.

"Brother Ye truly is a master of the blade!"

Xie Tianhong exclaimed in surprise, "Your blade intent is certainly not weaker than that of your servant!"

"Haha, of course, I taught her blade intent!"

Ye Liuyun calmly admitted it.

He knows that he cannot hide his blade intent.

And the upcoming battles certainly won't be that simple; sooner or later some of it will be exposed.

Ye Tiandao silently cultivated to restore True Essence.

However, she heard Ye Liuyun and Xie Tianhong's conversation and realized that her master was already wary of him.

So she decided to speak even less in the future, not even uttering surprise, acting as if she were mute to avoid leaking her master's information.

On the road ahead, Ye Liuyun and his companions encountered many blocking ferocious beasts.

However, most of their levels did not surpass Ye Liuyun, so they posed no real danger to him.

And Xie Tianhong himself only tapped seventy percent of his True Essence each time, relying mostly on Ye Liuyun to fend off danger.

He kept exclaiming in amazement at Ye Liuyun's strength, and Ye Liuyun let him lavish praise while focusing on honing his blade intent.

"Now we've already penetrated deep into the Xueyu interior; further ahead there should be even stronger ferocious beasts!"

Ye Liuyun, thinking of this, also stopped to call Ye Tiandao and Xie Tianhong to rest for a while.

He also took out the freshly slain beast to roast.

"Going further, there's an underground glacier with a beautiful subterranean ice palace, where a Tian Zun Yi Chong snow ferret is perched!"

Xie Tianhong, as if mentioning it unintentionally, started chatting with Ye Liuyun.

"Is that so?"

"Then let's go take a look, broaden our horizons!"

Ye Liuyun suggested.

"However, that snow ferret's level is Tian Zun Yi Chong!"

Xie Tianhong said worriedly.

"If we can't beat it, just run right away!"

Ye Liuyun replied indifferently.

"Alright then, I'll take you there to see!"

Xie Tianhong also agreed.

After they ate and drank their fill, they continued on.

Xie Tianhong also veered off the original path, leading Ye Liuyun and the others into a field of icebergs.

Upon entering, they were immediately attacked by higher‑level ferocious beasts such as Earth Sovereign 8th–9th level snow bears and snow leopards.

Ye Liuyun basically resolved them with a single Yi Dao, making Xie Tianhong somewhat nervous.

"Brother Ye's blade intent is gradually improving?"

He asked.

"Yes! Blade intent requires constant practice; the more you train, the faster it improves!"

Ye Liuyun explained.

The two discussed many cultivation experiences, and Xie Tianhong gained insight into almost every aspect.

Ye Liuyun thought that Xie Tianhong, like him, must have hidden strength that hasn't been shown at all.

As they walked and talked, Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense now detected a huge opening beneath the ice mountain ahead.

The opening's rim was lined with dense ice spikes, resembling a monstrous maw ready to devour.

No ferocious beast footprints were around the opening, indicating the beasts were avoiding it.

"It's right ahead! Brother Ye, are you sure you want to go in and take the risk?"

Xie Tianhong again confirmed with Ye Liuyun.

"Since we're already here, let's go take a look!"

Ye Liuyun affirmed.

So the three of them gradually approached the opening.

Suddenly, a massive mound of snow arched up from afar, as if something large lay beneath, charging from the snow toward Ye Liuyun and the others.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil scanned and spotted over thirty Zao Hua Realm snow ferrets.

The snow ferrets all had uniformly white fur, looking perfectly suited for making coats.

Ye Liuyun immediately drew his blade, slashing one after another, thinking regretfully, "If only I could use a demon net to capture them all, I could get a whole hide!"

The snow ferrets, faced with Ye Liuyun's blade intent, were powerless to resist, screaming in terror as they were split in two by his blade intent beneath the snow.

After that, Ye Liuyun waited a while until their bodies were frozen solid, with no blood seeping out, then stamped his foot, shaking the split snow ferrets out of the snow, collecting them one by one into the Space World, handing them over to Liang Xue for processing.

Xie Tianhong also reminded Ye Liuyun, "It seems there are quite a few snow ferrets in the cave!"

Ye Liuyun merely smiled, "Perfect, I'll bring back some pelts to make clothes!"

Xie Tianhong also chuckled, leading Ye Liuyun and the others into the Cave.

Stay close to me!

Ye Liuyun reminded Ye Tiandao.

Because he discovered that Xie Tianhong was already mobilizing his True Essence, preparing to attack.

It seems the martens here have some skills; otherwise he wouldn't be so nervous.

Of course, it's also possible that Xie Tianhong wants to use the martens here to strike at Ye Liuyun.

So he is also following behind Xie Tianhong with great vigilance.

The scenery inside the cave is indeed unique.

Many Ice Crystals are inverted on the ground, like spears stuck upside down into the ground, shimmering with colorful light under the faint glow.

The cave ceiling also has hanging icicles; if they fall, it would be very dangerous.

The cave walls and floor are completely covered in ice, so smooth they can reflect a person's shadow.

Ye Liuyun carefully observed with his Golden Pupil, discovering many claw marks from martens; it seems there are definitely many martens inside.

The cave is very long; after walking a stretch, they indeed saw ahead a transparent palace entirely built from ice blocks.

There are fissures in the cave ceiling; sunlight shines through, creating a fantastical, very beautiful display.

Ye Liuyun couldn't help but praise it.

However, to reach that ice palace, they must cross an ice bridge.

Before them lies a broken cliff.

The only passage is that ice bridge.

The ice bridge is extremely narrow, only wide enough for one person.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense felt a strong suction beneath the cliff; flying across would likely consume a lot.

Moreover, the cave ceiling in this section is very low.

If they are attacked while crossing the bridge, they would have no space to dodge.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil had already seen many martens lying prone behind the ice palace's walls.

He even saw the marten of Tianzun Realm.

At this moment it is lying in the Grand Hall of the ice palace, using its Divine Sense to probe their movements.
