Chapter 853: Chapter 851: Xuan Yu of the Profound Ice Pavilion

"Skyfire Venerable!"

Everyone almost simultaneously widened their eyes, looking towards the Skyfire Venerable.

In an instant, they all surrounded the Skyfire Venerable and started talking simultaneously.

"This guy can actually make you retreat? It seems his strength is truly not to be underestimated."

"What is there to fear? Skyfire Venerable is not an ordinary person either. Everyone, join forces and cooperate with Skyfire Venerable to stop him."

"..."

However, nobody echoed the sentiment, nor did anyone show any intentions of helping.

Clearly, everyone was thinking for themselves.

"You bunch of bastards..."

In a few steps, Huo Xuan Yi had already approached the group, raised his hand, and slapped one of them in the face, coldly saying, "Didn’t you see this guy almost killed me? Don’t you know who I am? I am the Young Master of Skyfire Mountain. If anything happens to me, my father will definitely not spare you."

"You useless bastards, I now order you to immediately go chase him down. You must stop him, don’t let him leave Skyfire Mountain!"

"Otherwise, I will have my father kill each and every one of you!"

Everyone exchanged glances, looking troubled, and one of them stepped forward saying, "Young Master, can’t you see his strength? Even Skyfire Venerable isn’t his match, if we confront him, we’ll just be defeated. Why make sacrifices for nothing?"

The remaining few also nodded in agreement.

Skyfire Venerable glanced towards the depths of Skyfire Mountain and frowned, saying, "I just sensed those old guys moving, did I sense it wrong?"

"With such a short distance, why haven’t they appeared?"

Skyfire Venerable, standing by, glanced at Wang Zhan’s direction and frowned, saying, "If this drags on, I’m afraid that guy will leave Skyfire Mountain. Then if we want to hunt him, where will we find him among the sea of people?"

"Moreover, judging by the boy’s strength, he likely has a backing Sect, it would be unwise to let a tiger return to the mountain."

With this thought, Skyfire Venerable soared into the sky, disregarding anything else, with one conviction in his heart: to quickly kill Wang Zhan!

At this moment, Wang Zhan was almost out of Skyfire Mountain’s area, his tension easing. He glanced at the Sword Spirit beside him and said, "Alright, we’re almost out of this damned Skyfire Mountain. I suppose these guys won’t continue pursuing us, right?"

"Not likely..."

The Sword Spirit instinctively turned back to look at the approaching Skyfire Venerable, then said, "That old guy doesn’t seem willing to let you leave. What do we do?"

With two Stellar-level experts grappling here, it would naturally cause significant delays.

Although Wang Zhan could easily defeat the others, he didn’t have the strength to immediately kill Skyfire Venerable.

If this were to drag on, Wang Zhan wouldn’t be a match for Skyfire Venerable.

Faced with such problems, Wang Zhan’s expression turned grim.

He gripped the Great Void Divine Sword tightly and said in a deep voice, "Since it’s like this, let’s fight him head on. I’d like to see just how capable the people of Skyfire Mountain are, whether they’re all stubborn-headed like rocks."

The Sword Spirit nodded; having reached this point, there were no other options for them.

Seeing Wang Zhan engage with Skyfire Venerable, a pale blue light appeared in the sky, followed by an ice wall materializing in mid-air. On the ice wall, a figure swiftly approached them.

Witnessing this scene, Wang Zhan slightly hesitated, instinctively glanced at the Sword Spirit, and asked, "Is this person also from Skyfire Mountain?"

After all, all of Skyfire Mountain’s skills were fire attributes, yet the person before him clearly countered fire attributes.

Naturally, Wang Zhan was puzzled.

At Wang Zhan’s side, the Sword Spirit slightly squinted and shook his head, saying, "I don’t think so, this person is likely from Profound Ice Pavilion."

"Profound Ice Pavilion?"

Wang Zhan asked in confusion, "What is this?"

"Profound Ice Pavilion is a Star Domain that competes against Skyfire Mountain. I’ve heard they do not tolerate each other. I don’t know why someone from Profound Ice Pavilion would be here."

With the arrival of that person, Skyfire Venerable’s gaze gradually grew cold.

Skyfire Venerable glanced at the person and spoke slowly, "Xuan Yu, who gave you the courage to dare trespass on Skyfire Mountain’s territory?"

"Do you really not know your limits?"

Xuan Yu let out a cold laugh twice, his gaze falling onto Wang Zhan as he said lightly, "I’m here naturally for this little brother. If you people from Skyfire Mountain dare to make things difficult for him, then you’re making enemies with our Profound Ice Pavilion. It won’t be long before our two sides go to war directly."

Upon hearing this, Skyfire Venerable’s face once again showed a few signs of change.

"This kid is actually from your Profound Ice Pavilion?"

Xuan Yu remained silent.

But Wang Zhan was full of confusion, as even he didn’t understand what was going on.

On the side, Xuan Yu glanced at Wang Zhan, then said, "Your friends are waiting for you outside. Leave first, I’ll come later."

Wang Zhan cast a grateful look, and only then did he not hesitate, quickly heading outside of Skyfire Mountain.

On the Star War Battlefield, everyone has their own goals. Although the person in front might be helping him, who can say what they are really thinking?

With Xuan Yu standing by, Skyfire Venerable and the others did not dare to act.

In a moment, Wang Zhan had already left.

Outside Skyfire Mountain.

Upon seeing Wang Zhan’s figure, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue quickly rushed to his side.

Luo Xue carefully checked him over, then finally let out a long breath of relief, glancing at Wang Zhan as she directly said, "Brother Wang, you scared me to death. I thought you couldn’t get out in there."

"No, someone suddenly came to help me just now and relieved a lot of pressure, but..."

While speaking, Wang Zhan’s expression slightly changed, and he said, "I don’t know much about that person, heard he is from Profound Ice Pavilion, and told me someone was waiting for me outside. Did you find help for me?"

Xiang Tian smiled and nodded, "What a coincidence, just as we came out, we met that guy. We were going to make a move, but found his strength was indeed too formidable, so we dismissed the idea. After some conversation, we learned that person was from Profound Ice Pavilion, opposed to Skyfire Mountain people, and when heard you were a Stellar-level expert, he offered to go in and assist you."

Once everything became clear, Wang Zhan nodded.

Behind him, Xuan Yu’s figure slowly appeared.

In a few steps, Xuan Yu came before them.

"Let’s leave here first."

Xuan Yu subconsciously glanced back at the direction of Skyfire Mountain, then said, "No one knows what this bunch of bastards will do, and this is still Skyfire Mountain’s territory. Even if our Profound Ice Pavilion wants to go to war with them, but with our manpower not complete, fighting won’t be to our advantage."

Wang Zhan nodded, and the group left in an instant.

Meanwhile, within Skyfire Mountain.

Skyfire Venerable clenched his fists, continuously roaring in anger, "Damn it, how could I not have thought this guy was from Profound Ice Pavilion? But it’s also good, we’ll meet again someday, and that guy won’t be so lucky."

While speaking, Skyfire Venerable’s mouth curved with a cold gleam, "Next time I see this kid, I must kill him to wipe away today’s shame."

Everyone nodded, not saying much.

Only Huo Xuan Yi on the side kept clenching his fists, pounding the ground, coldly looking at Skyfire Venerable and the others, gritting his teeth as he said, "It’s all because of you bunch of bastards that the situation got so messed up. If you had been united just now, how could that guy have escaped your encirclement?"

"Even with Profound Ice Pavilion’s help, by then that guy would have already died at your hands."

"Now, because of you few, you brought a stronger enemy to our Skyfire Mountain. I must quickly tell my dad about this, and have him properly punish you."

Seeing Huo Xuan Yi was ready to leave, Skyfire Venerable’s face quickly turned a lot uglier, as he suddenly rushed to Huo Xuan Yi, grasping his shoulder in one motion and slapped him hard on the forehead.

Huo Xuan Yi didn’t even react before he knelt straight on the ground, eyes wide, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth...

Those following Skyfire Venerable widened their eyes, instinctively stepping back a few paces.

Skyfire Venerable glanced at them, then spoke word by word, "You bunch of fools, do you really want him to tell his Domain Lord about this? If he gets to know of this, we’ll all face punishment, and all that’s waiting for you is death."

Everyone nodded tremblingly, no one dared to speak.

Skyfire Venerable continued, "But if we kill him now, everything will be solved. Just pin it on those from Profound Ice Pavilion, as no one knows what really happened here."

Everyone nodded in agreement, saying in unison, "All follow your orders." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Only then did Skyfire Venerable finally smile, then grabbed Huo Xuan Yi’s corpse, gestured to the crowd behind him, and said, "Then let’s not dawdle here any longer, hurry back to tell the Domain Lord about this."

"Move!"
