The Dragon Sparrow suddenly swept past, slashing forward, dispersing the Wind Blade Frost Sword with a single cut, spreading it around, but it ultimately couldn't completely stop it. A few wind blades still grazed his arm, and blood seeped through, instantly freezing.

Zhao Changhe was indifferent, taking the opportunity to dash forward several yards.

To achieve instantaneous movement over a hundred miles outside, managing just a few yards here was already quite challenging.

Not far ahead, numerous humanoid ice sculptures could be seen, each with a different posture. Those weren't ice sculptures; they were people who occasionally strayed into this place and were frozen to death. Among them were some peculiar beast shapes, likely not from this epoch but perished here from the last. Looking around, more and more appeared, forming an endless maze of icy corpses.

It's unknown how many lives this bastard took here in the last epoch.

Amidst the ringing in the ears, a complete conversation began to become distinguishable: "Hoho... I didn't expect someone would dare come in here to die before I even went out to kill."

Zhao Changhe replied: "So you mean, if we hadn't come, you would have gone out to kill?"

The voice laughed: "There's no need to deliberately kill; these glaciers are beautiful. The world should belong to the cold. Humans have no need to exist..."

Zhao Changhe nodded. This being's concept is essentially the same as the Sea Emperor's; there's a fundamental survival conflict. It's certainly not one to stay in its nest guarding its territory, but one that would come out and ravage, transforming environments that don't belong to it into ones it desires.

Therefore, it's a Demon God.

The Ancient Xuanwu coming to trouble it must be based on this, just as its attributes are opposite to Xuanwu. Actually, in Zhao Changhe's understanding of the Ancient Four Symbols, White Tiger goes mad and Azure Dragon is a scumbag, but they aren't inherently malevolent. The Four Symbols essentially maintain the universe, uphold Emperor Ye's order, and are positive. Hmm... saying so, even blind blindness was initially positive...

But how could Xuanwu be unable to defeat Cold Chi? It shouldn't be; did something unexpected happen...

With these thoughts turning in his mind, Zhao Changhe responded: "Thanks for clarifying; otherwise, I might have doubted myself for invading your territory and trying to kill you, unsure if it was right. Now I'm relieved."

The voice laughed more fervently: "Interesting... do you know who the last person who said this to me was?"

"No matter who it was, it couldn't do it. I can." Zhao Changhe paused for a moment, then said: "I see it didn't completely fail... In this world today, the Demon God is fully revived, Jiuyou is manifest, Piaomiao is reborn, yet you remain secluded and unmoving. I don't think it's because you're too lazy to move?"

The voice suddenly faltered.

Ying Wu, who had been silent, thought: "It's either sealed by Xuanwu or imprisoned here, and it cannot go out!"

Zhao Changhe whispered: "It's about to get out... If I'm not mistaken, over thirty years ago, it was discharging the Xuanwu Seal when you encountered it, and part of Xuanwu's intent contaminated San Niang's mother, making San Niang born with causality."

This isn't a guess; it's seen through causal observation. Also seen is that there are other reasons for the Xuanwu seal, not just sealing Cold Chi. But the reason can't be seen yet; it's dizzying and unbearably discomforting, like an untouchable taboo.

It was initially thought to be just helping Ying Wu, also for Ying Wu to help find Yangyang afterward. But now, it seems everything is ultimately connected to Ancient Times, corresponding to something related to Ye Wuming.

Nothing escapes her association.

Ying Wu said: "If this is the case, then we've truly come at the right time... if delayed any longer and all seals are broken, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Over there, Cold Chi was silent for a moment and then started laughing again: "Though I don't know who you are, you've guessed quite accurately... then take your time finding me, and let's discuss when you stand before me."

Ying Wu whispered to Zhao Changhe: "If we keep consuming energy in this environment, we'll only grow weaker. We need a swift victory, heading straight for the seal's location. But amidst these vast glaciers, with divine souls hard to discern, do you have any idea how to quickly find the sealed land?"

The environment here is so unbearable, divine souls dare not wander recklessly, and walking is laborious. If Zhao Changhe stays for too long, he feels he might go mad. Everything looks the same, and the atmosphere is identical, making finding a specific location extremely difficult. Even if found, they'd probably be mostly spent...

Zhao Changhe sighed: "There is a way; finding him should take no more than one incense stick's time."

Cold Chi laughed: "Epochs change, and people today truly remain oblivious?"

"?" Ying Wu tugged at his sleeve: "How do you do it?"

Zhao Changhe pulled out a booklet, shook it in front of Ying Wu, who looked closely, "Mountain and River Atlas."

Zhao Changhe flipped through it quickly, finding a map annotated with "Han Chi Ice Abyss," and a note: "Xuanwu sealed Cold Chi here."

Indeed, it wasn't Xuanwu killed by Cold Chi; it was the opposite; Xuanwu sealed Cold Chi. But perhaps this battle left it injured, leading to failing to evade the subsequent catastrophe.

The map even contained a few small lines that seemed to briefly describe Cold Chi, one sentence capturing Zhao Changhe's attention: "Suppress its Qi without leakage with extreme cold."

What does this mean? Is it not suppressing Cold Chi but using Cold Chi to suppress something else? Why speak so ambiguously...

Ying Wu grew increasingly stunned: "What is this you have?"

Zhao Changhe snapped back: "Special maps of various places in the Heavenly Realm, personally crafted by Xuanwu."

Ying Wu was dumbfounded.

Clearly here to help me in a revenge battle, how does it suddenly feel like you've become the main character?
