Chapter 2040: She is Evading

Just now, Mingming the master was not her, but now I cannot find where she is.

Standing still in the snow for a long time, Chen Yu did not receive any response; he sighed helplessly, then took heavy steps and left this place.

After Chen Yu left, in a vast expanse of white snow, a figure flashed out from behind a withered tree.

It was none other than Ye Xinyu; watching Chen Yu's departing figure, her eyes were filled with confusion.

She seemed to have forgotten everything from the past; she simply felt that the man before her was familiar, yet she instinctively hid from him.

And he... was originally the target she was meant to kill; why would she have such a feeling?

The command forcibly issued within her Purple Mansion Consciousness Sea was to kill, so why did she have these inexplicable emotions appear after seeing the target?

Gradually, Chen Yu went far away, and his aura also vanished from her consciousness sea; only then did she come back to her senses.

But at this moment, a flash of red light appeared in her eyes, and the Demon nature once again took over her dominant consciousness.

She slowly raised her head and, step by step, mechanically hurried forward in the direction Chen Yu had left.

Not until Chen Yu returned did Xueli breathe a sigh of relief; she went up to him and said anxiously, "Where did you go? I almost rushed out to look for you."

"I'm fine." Chen Yu shook his head; he sat down, looking somewhat dejected.

"What's wrong with you?" Xueli was slightly stunned; she sat down beside Chen Yu and asked with concern.

From the time she met Chen Yu until now, the impression Chen Yu gave her was always one of being in full control; she had truly never seen him sitting here looking so dejected like this.

She did not know what could have hit Chen Yu so hard, but a woman's intuition told her it should be related to *her*.

"I clearly sensed her aura just now," Chen Yu said with some confusion, "I even knew where she was."

"But when I rushed there, it was empty; I used my Divine Sense to search back and forth several times, but there was no result. What on earth is going on?"

"She came?" Xueli frowned, "Your sensing cannot be wrong. Since you sensed that she came, then it must be her, but why would she disappear?"

"There is only one possibility: she is deliberately avoiding me." Chen Yu pondered for a long time; besides this reason, he really could not think of any other.

"There aren't many people who can avoid you when you are right in front of them, right? You can clearly sense the aura on her." Xueli was slightly startled.

"There aren't many, but she counts as one," Chen Yu gave a bitter smile and said, "As long as she is willing, she can hide all her movements and aura at any time, making it impossible for me to find her."

"Why is that? Is her strength very high?" Xueli asked.

"Not stronger than me, but... some things are fated, and no one can change them." Chen Yu sighed slightly.

"Perhaps you miss her too much, so you had a hallucination." Xueli was stunned for a long time before reaching this conclusion.

"Impossible, my cultivation realm no longer allows me to have hallucinations," Chen Yu denied this claim, his eyes bright, "She is in the Snow Plains, she must be in the Snow Plains, but what did she come here for?"

Xueli looked at Chen Yu, and she did not know what to say either.

"Yinxian." Chen Yu's brows locked slightly, and he gave a soft shout toward the snow.

"Master." A burst of black energy rose, and Yinxian appeared here in heavy armor.

"In the Snow Plains, I sensed the aura of the Mistress; use all the power you can mobilize to find her," Chen Yu said in a deep voice.

"As you command." Yinxian cupped his hands to Chen Yu, then turned and disappeared.

Yinxian's strength had increased again, and looking at his official rank, it seemed to have been promoted; he should now be able to mobilize a group of Underworld Yin Soldiers, so Chen Yu let him go look.

"Can you summon him at any time?" Xueli was truly envious, because Yinxian was in heavy armor, tall and fierce.

And the Death God she had accepted not long ago was all shriveled up, wearing only a tattered black robe; he looked like a gust of wind could blow him away.

Both are serving Death God Ghost Generals, why is the gap so big?

"Right, this place does not belong to the territory controlled by the Underworld, so he has to cross several planes to get here," Chen Yu nodded, "The price paid is also very high."

"So loyal, actually." Xueli felt it was incredible, "Unlike that thing I subdued a few days ago; I can sense his thoughts. This guy will get rid of my control and escape as soon as he has a chance."

"Death messengers are inherently sinister and cunning," Chen Yu said, "But you don't need to worry; even if he has thoughts, he wouldn't dare put them into action. After all, his Life is now tied to yours; if you die, he cannot survive alone."

"Yeah, so this guy only dares to think about it in his heart and doesn't dare to take actual action," Xueli said, "Compared to your fierce Ghost General, this is really far behind."

"What are you two talking about? I don't understand at all." Jinsang looked at the two of them from the side, looking confused.

"It would be strange if you could understand," Chen Yu shook his head, "Rest now, we still have to travel tomorrow morning."

The night passed without incident. The next day, the few of them traveled in silence until they reached an open area, where Jinsang stopped.

"Danger ahead?" Although Jinsang had not yet spoken, Chen Yu had already smelled a trace of danger.

"Yes, this place is a branch of the Ice River. Although the ice is very thick, there are some rather fierce things underneath," Jinsang said, "These things are usually nocturnal, but sometimes there are exceptions."

"The scope of the Ice River is too vast; passing through quickly is the only way," Chen Yu looked ahead. The scope of the Ice River was very large; one could only pass through this place quickly.

The group stepped onto the ice and quickly walked toward the opposite bank, and the Ice River was extremely wide, at least ten kilometers across.

In the blink of an eye, the group had reached the middle of the Ice River. Just at this moment, Xueli stopped abruptly, staring blankly at the ice.

"Xueli, what's wrong?" Chen Yu also stopped beside her in time, but he called out several times, yet Xueli had no reaction at all.

She suddenly bent down and slowly swept away the snow on the ice. Through the thick ice, several pale faces appeared.

Beneath this ice, which was a full meter thick, was an ancient battlefield; countless people had died here and were then frozen.

Their Spirits could not enter Reincarnation and just wandered beneath the ice, becoming ghosts. Any living creature passing through here would have their minds lost by them.
