Eastern General had no intention of returning the Chancellor, and with Peng Yue in hand, he broke through the roof. A Starlit Cyclone formed beneath his feet, allowing him to hover in mid-air while holding Peng Yue and looking at the two girls waiting above.
“Brother, are we done?” Yan Yao asked.
Ye Yang raised the Peng Yue he was holding and smiled, “I’ve brought the guide. Next, let’s purchase some essential supplies for our journey in the city. We should set off soon; the Extreme Ice Wasteland is extremely cold. You two should buy a set of fur cloaks; otherwise, it will be hard to withstand the frigid conditions.”
Yun Xiaoxi nodded, tilting her head to look at Peng Yue. A beautiful smile spread across her lovely face: “Oh? Is this the legendary Divine Weapon Peng Yue? It’s said to be feared in Wei and Zhao. I didn’t expect it to be like this. Zi Yu, I heard there are only two Fire God Warriors in the world right now—one is you, and the other is this Peng Yue. Is that true?”
Ye Yang nodded, “Yes, this person is indeed Peng Yue.”
“But it doesn’t look like it at all; he seems so weak…” Yun Xiaoxi said suspiciously.
This instantly angered Peng Yue. He swung his War Blade and shouted, “You little girl, do you dare disrespect me? I am a General of the Wei Kingdom. How dare you act like this? Are you seeking death?”
Yun Xiaoxi was also furious. Her delicate face turned frosty as her fingers swiftly traced through the air, instantly unleashing a cold gleam from her Ice Crystal Technique. In the next moment, a cut appeared on Peng Yue’s cheek, and before blood could even flow out, it was frozen by the Ice Crystal Technique. He merely felt a chill on his face.
“Ah…”
In an instant, Peng Yue turned ashen. He never expected that this exceptionally beautiful girl possessed such formidable strength that could easily break through his Starlit Armor. If she were to harbor murderous intent, he doubted he could withstand even ten of her moves.
In fact, Peng Yue was only at the initial stage of Starry Sky Level Five, while Yun Xiaoxi had already reached the peak of that level. A breakthrough into Starry Sky Level Six was just around the corner; there was still a significant gap between their strengths.
Yan Yao looked at Peng Yue and said, “Brother, carrying this person like this is really drawing attention. Why not put him down? That way we can shop for supplies without worry!”
Ye Yang nodded and landed with the two girls outside the palace, releasing Peng Yue.
“Ha!”
Peng Yue roared as he swung his long knife to attack but found himself unable to move halfway through. He froze in place as a golden dragon-patterned energy coiled around his arm tightly. The other end of the dragon pattern was held by Ye Yang, who had used the Dragon Soul Locking Technique from the Hidden Dragon Technique. This seemingly simple dragon pattern could completely bind a strong individual like Peng Yue, rendering him immobile.
Ye Yang raised a finger with swirling Golden Dragon energy at its tip and smiled slightly: “Peng Yue, if you dare move again, I will make your life worse than death!”
As he spoke, he suddenly exerted force with his fingers, and a scorching wave of Fire God Fragment True Qi surged along the Dragon Soul Chain, striking Peng Yue. It burned his soul, causing Peng Yue to kneel on the ground, howling in agony. Ye Yang's cultivation was exceptionally refined, directly using Fire God Power to scorch his opponent's soul. This kind of torment far surpassed mere physical burns; even a tough man like Peng Yue could not endure it, feeling as if his liver and gallbladder were being torn apart, trembling on the ground.
With his purpose achieved, Ye Yang did not prolong the torture. He took out a Black Cloak and tossed it to him. "Put this on and don't attract attention. When we go shopping, you will obediently follow along. Don't think you can escape; my Dragon Soul Chain binds your soul, not your body. If you don't want to die, behave yourself."
"Okay... okay!" Peng Yue replied with a fierce look in his eyes.
Ye Yang paid no mind to him, smiling lightly as he led the two young women and Peng Yue onto the path of shopping.
...
At the clothing store, the Innkeeper was a chubby man in his forties. Upon seeing Ye Yang, Yun Xiaoxi, and Yan Yao dressed as they were, his heart leaped with joy. Ye Yang wore the attire of a Great Qin general, with armor that gleamed—clearly not ordinary. As for the two young women, Yun Xiaoxi looked like a fairy descended from heaven in her flowing garments, while Yan Yao was dressed as a noble pearl, specifically in the attire of the Princess of Yan—exquisite and regal.
Seeing these three individuals made it clear that they were wealthy patrons!
"Welcome, esteemed guests! Please come inside. Are you looking to buy silk or ready-made garments?" the Innkeeper asked with a smile while rubbing his hands together.
Ye Yang replied, "Do you have winter fur clothing here?"
"Yes, we do!"
The Innkeeper quickly retrieved several sets of clothing. One particular beast skin cloak caught Ye Yang's eye; it was a Tiger Skin Cloak that looked quite imposing. Wrapped in armor, it would keep him warm while also showcasing a fierce demeanor. Ye Yang did not want to be seen as a second-generation rich kid or a pretty boy; he naturally wanted to appear more formidable.
Additionally, Yun Xiaoxi selected a white robe that she couldn't take her eyes off. The craftsmanship was exquisite, with smooth curves that seemed natural. The Innkeeper's eyes lit up as he hurriedly said, "Miss has great taste! This Snow Lion Skin Cloak is crafted by a master artisan; it has excellent warmth retention and looks splendid—perfect for someone as noble as you!"
Yun Xiaoxi pouted slightly and looked at Ye Yang.
Ye Yang understood: "How much does it cost?"
"A flat price of four hundred taels of silver!"
Beside him, Yan Yao picked out a fox fur cloak, and Ye Yang picked it up as well, saying, "For these three items, how much can you give me for a good price?"
The Innkeeper pondered for a moment and replied, "The Tiger Skin Cloak is worth 270 silver taels, the Snow Lion Skin Cloak is worth 400 silver taels, and the fox fur cloak is 320 silver taels. Altogether, that comes to 990 silver taels."
Ye Yang raised a finger and grabbed a bear skin cloak nearby with his other hand, saying, "If I take all four together, how about a total of 1000 silver taels?"
The Innkeeper was delighted: "Great, thank you for your patronage!"
Ye Yang pulled out a banknote to pay and then tossed the bear skin cloak to Peng Yue, saying, "Put this on. We're flying to the Extreme Ice Wasteland soon; you don't want to freeze to death..."
Peng Yue was furious but said nothing. He quickly accepted the bear skin cloak. A flicker of fear crossed his eyes; clearly, the bone-chilling cold he experienced in the Extreme Ice Wasteland had left a lasting shadow in his heart.
...
After wandering around the market for a while longer, they bought plenty of food, clothing, fresh water, fine wine, and more, all of which were tossed into Ye Yang's Cosmic Bag. These supplies would likely be enough for them to survive for half a year in the Extreme Ice Wasteland.
Following Ye Yang around Daliang City for a while, Peng Yue felt humiliated. As the Prime Minister of Wei Kingdom, he was being dragged around by this kid. Although he wanted to shout out that he was Peng Yue, he realized that the common people around them were no match for Ye Yang, a Starry Sky Sixth Level expert. Even if he shouted, it would be futile and would only damage his reputation in Wei Kingdom. Thus, Peng Yue could only endure and wait for an opportunity to eliminate this kid and seize both beautiful women along with him!
As they began their journey, Ye Yang released Peng Yue from the Dragon Soul Chain. He wasn't worried about Peng Yue escaping because within Ye Yang's domain, there was no way for Peng Yue to flee. Moreover, Ye Yang's perception extended nearly ten miles around him; this meant that within that radius, he could teleport at will. Such a lethal range made Peng Yue lose any thought of escape. If he truly tried to run away, Ye Yang might very well fuse him in anger and erase him completely from existence—his soul would not even be able to reincarnate in the Three Realms. That kind of miserable outcome was not what Peng Yue desired.
In the sky, the four of them traced arcs across the horizon before disappearing into the skies above Daliang City.
...
They flew for nearly two hours, crossing into Zhao Kingdom's territory and reaching the northern border of Yan Kingdom. The weather turned gloomy and the temperature dropped significantly; snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
"Brrr, it's so cold..." Yun Xiaoxi shivered. Even as a Starry Sky Expert, she could not withstand such bone-chilling cold.
Peng Yue said, "We have entered the edge of the Extreme Ice Wasteland. This area spans thousands of miles and is vast and desolate; it has always been extremely cold here—no humans can live in this place."
Ye Yang took out the fur cloaks and distributed them for everyone to wear, which brought a sense of warmth to the group.
Among them, Ye Yang and Peng Yue were the most resistant to the cold. Both had fire attributes, so they could manage without the cloaks. However, Peng Yue's resistance was slightly weaker, and he shivered. Ye Yang looked at him with disdain, considering him a disgrace to the Fire God Clan. Being dependent on others, Peng Yue did not dare to say anything.
As they moved forward, the wind and snow intensified, severely affecting visibility. The air currents felt like blades, as if they were in Purgatory, making it impossible to fly.
"Woo..." Yan Yao struggled to open her eyes against the biting wind and snow. With her lower cultivation level, she was the first to succumb to such harsh conditions.
Peng Yue noticed this and said, "We have entered the depths of the Extreme Ice Wasteland; we cannot continue flying."
"Why?" Ye Yang asked.
"Because..."
Peng Yue looked up into the storm, his pupils suddenly constricting in shock as he exclaimed, "Not good! We have indeed disturbed that thing!"
"What thing?"
Ye Yang was taken aback and turned around sharply, only to be startled as countless ice spikes appeared behind him, all aimed directly at him. Those ice spikes were none other than the fangs of a giant beast that suddenly snapped shut, swallowing Ye Yang whole as he flew at the front!
