Wilderness Snowfield, deep night.
A flicker of fire illuminated Cold Night. Ye Yang held the Azure Soul Sword, its blade glowing with a fierce flame. Beside him, Yun Xiaoxi and Yan Yao supported him on either side.
Peng Yue stepped carefully through the snow on the ground, his brow furrowed. "Since you have achieved your wish and obtained the Frost Dragon Bone, shouldn't you release me as agreed?"
Ye Yang shook his head, looking at Peng Yue. "Not yet!"
"Why not?"
"I'm afraid you might be taken by the dragon clan at night. Although the Dragon Emperor has already given the order, do you really think you can contend with those powerful Starry Sky Level Six Beasts?"
Peng Yue fell silent for a moment. "Then what should we do?"
Ye Yang smiled lightly. "Let's stay in the lair of the Descendants of the Divine for one night. After a night’s rest, my injuries will be mostly healed, and my strength will recover to at least eighty percent. With you as my guide, it won't be bad. How about returning to Qi State with me, where you can serve as my advisor?"
The muscles on Peng Yue's face twitched slightly. "The kindness of King Wei is like a mountain; I cannot fail to repay it!"
"Alright, it's up to you."
Ye Yang smiled faintly, but suddenly a glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes. "However, Wei Kingdom better not provoke me or have any designs on Hengshan County or Yanmen County. Otherwise, my Vermilion Bird Knight will surely flatten the land of Wei Kingdom. I mean every word; there will be no room for negotiation!"
Peng Yue gritted his teeth and nodded. "I understand!"
...
Ye Yang smiled again and said no more. He knew that Peng Yue was one of the Three Great Generals of the Early Han Dynasty, alongside Han Xin and Ying Bu. In the subsequent Chu-Han Contention, it was precisely because of Peng Yue and Han Xin's strength that Liu Bang was able to defeat Xiang Yu, leading to the demise of the great overlord at the Wu River.
Of course, this world did not seem to align perfectly with History, so Ye Yang was not entirely certain. However, one thing he could affirm was that as long as he lived, he would not allow anyone to touch or harm the Fire God Clan. This was his only protection in this world.
In the deep of night, upon returning to their lair, Ten Directions held up the head of the Ice Dragon, instantly eliciting cheers from countless people. At this moment, the tribe no longer had to worry or fear the hunting of the dragon clan, and the legendary demon had been slain by the Divine Envoy, which brought even more comfort to the tribe.
After enjoying a delicious meal of roasted Bear Meat, Ye Yang entered the tent to heal his wounds, slowly operating the Refining Technique to mend the injuries inflicted by the Dragon Emperor.
Yun Xiaoxi was also gravely injured; however, she did not tend to her wounds but quietly lay beside Ye Yang, her body enveloped in the energy of the Ice Crystal Technique, allowing her wounds to heal rapidly.
……
A quiet night passed, and dawn arrived in an instant.
"Ah..."
Ye Yang woke up leisurely, opening his eyes to reveal a pair of increasingly clear and deep eyes. He glanced at the two young girls beside him, Yan Yao and Yun Xiaoxi. They both woke up in succession. Yan Yao looked at Ye Yang and smiled, "Brother, how are your injuries?"
"Much better. We are ready to set off; once we leave the Snow Domain, we will fly back to Linzi City!"
"Great!"
In the morning, a group of people prepared to depart. As promised, Ye Yang carried the Azure Soul Sword and led Ten Directions along with a large group of tribespeople out of the cave and into the outside Snow Domain.
The weather cleared up, and the sunlight was surprisingly bright. The wind and snow had ceased. Ten Directions pointed towards the southeast and said, "There is an abundance of violent and chaotic energy over there; it must be the lair of the Ice Bear Pack. These detestable Ice Bears possess immense destructive power and defense. The young experts in our tribe are no match for them. If we can completely eradicate these Ice Bears, we should be able to secure a peaceful life for a while."
Ye Yang nodded, "Alright, let's go. Today I will help you eliminate this Ice Bear tribe as well. However, Ten Directions, you must improve your strength to survive in this environment. If it proves too difficult, consider moving to Qi State; I will carve out a hundred miles for you to live in within the Azure Cloud Mountain Range. Although the beasts there are fierce as well, they are not as formidable as the Ice Bears."
Ten Directions expressed their gratitude tearfully: "Divine Envoy, thank you for considering us. However, our Descendants of the Gods tribe has lived here for a long time; we do not wish to leave our homeland."
"Alright, it's up to you..."
A group of people moved quickly forward, and soon, frost-covered nests resembling earth mounds appeared ahead, densely packed together, known as the Ice Bear Den.
Ten Directions, holding a Battle Axe, stepped forward and shouted, "Bear cubs, come out! Today is your doomsday; you will no longer harm my kin!"
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
Countless roars echoed, unending. One by one, massive bears crawled out from the Ice Nest, countless in number—at least a thousand.
"Oh my..." Ten Directions' eyes widened. "So many..."
Peng Yue grinned and said, "Ye Yang, with your injuries so severe, can you really handle that many Ice Bears? Don't forget, although they are not of high rank, they are genuine Starry Sky Beasts!"
Ye Yang smiled slightly. "Just keep your eyes wide open!"
With that, Ye Yang raised his sword and stepped forward. He suddenly drew the Blade; it hung low as he stood there with an imposing presence. His aura enveloped the area, and fierce fire whirlwinds swirled around him within hundreds of meters. The powerful energy field left Yun Xiaoxi stunned.
"Ah..." Yun Xiaoxi gasped.
"What’s wrong, Sister Yun?" Yan Yao asked in confusion.
Yun Xiaoxi's beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment as she said, "Zi Yu has actually... quietly stepped into the Starry Sky Seventh Level..."
"What? Starry Sky Seventh Level?!" Peng Yue exclaimed in shock.
Yun Xiaoxi nodded. "That's right. Those fire whirlwinds are different from ordinary Fire God Power; they subtly contain Divine Power, which is characteristic of the Starry Sky Seventh Level. I didn't expect that the battle with the Dragon Emperor, a Celestial Realm Expert, would allow Zi Yu to advance so rapidly. It's truly astonishing..."
Peng Yue opened his mouth wide, feeling as if he could die from shock.
…
In the next moment, a group of Ice Bears roared and launched their attack, charging towards Ye Yang from all directions.
"Hey!"
Ye Yang's lips curled into a playful smile as he suddenly stepped forward. Countless Fire God Powers surged forth, pouring into the ground. In the next instant, the earth's seal was lifted, and the ground shook violently. Numerous dragon-shaped energies burst forth from the ice, revealing an attack known as Dragon Ascendance. However, this time, Dragon Ascendance was even more concentrated, with its attack range extending far and wide, almost enveloping the entire icy plain. A whole group of Ice Bears was caught within the attack range!
"Boom boom boom..."
Amidst the continuous explosions, the Ice Bears fell one after another. Ye Yang's strike had truly killed over a thousand Starry Sky Beasts!
A few moments later, with a clang, he sheathed his sword. Ye Yang waved his hand and said with a smile, "Ten Directions, let your people clean up the Ice Bear corpses. We are leaving; we shall meet again another day!"
Before Ten Directions could respond, Ye Yang grabbed Yun Xiaoxi and Yan Yao with one hand each and soared into the sky. Peng Yue also raised his Battle Blade and chased after them, secretly laughing to himself, "This kid..."
