Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 433: A Woman Like a Rock
The cold wind blew snow into the cave, and You Su was thrown to the ground by the woman.

You Su, who was knocked unconscious, was naturally full of resentment. Unfortunately, he couldn't move at this time because of the Ice Armor Technique. Also, he was ruthlessly sealed by the woman because he cursed too fiercely all the way. So he could only use a pair of vicious eyes to express his anger, but it was ultimately a little powerless.

The dome made of ice crystals was hung with icicles, and the moonlight shone through the gaps onto the pale face of Venerable Qianlong.

She ignored You Su's indignation and waved her hand as soon as she entered the cave, sealing the entrance with ice. She then walked to an ice sculpture lotus platform and sat cross-legged, and immediately began to close her eyes and regulate her breathing, her posture still maintaining the solemnity of a superior, as if she was not the one who needed to regulate her breathing.

You Su just thought she was arrogant, but he also saw that she was very familiar with this place. This cave seemed to be her place to rest.

The cave was completely silent, of course because You Su could not make any sound. But he did not give up trying to break free from the ice armor, even though he knew it was futile. However, after several attempts, he was surprised to find that tiny cracks appeared on the ice armor!
He immediately realized that this was because Venerable Qianlong fell into a state of meditation, thus relaxing his control over the ice armor on his body. He quickly opened his mouth and said "ah" a few times, and found that even the sound could be made normally. He was overjoyed, knowing that this was his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to escape, and began to carefully break the ice armor, trying not to disturb the nervous woman.

After unremitting efforts, he successfully freed himself from the restraints and lay on the ground breathing heavily for a while before his stiff body relaxed. He quietly got up and prepared to chisel the ice that was used to block the door.

While he was chiseling, he turned back to look at the woman's condition. He was still complaining in his heart that it was bad enough that he was captured as a hostage, but why did she take him with her when he wanted to escape?
He was furious when he thought about being forced to separate from his senior sister who he had finally reunited with before he could even say a word. And when the twelve great immortals went out to fight, his senior sister and Bai Ze helped Venerable Qianlong. After they escaped, his senior sister and Bai Ze would surely become the new targets of the twelve great immortals. How could he not be worried?

Seeing that Venerable Qianlong was still sitting there without waking up, he was so anxious that he just started to chisel without paying attention to the noise. But with a plop, You Su suddenly turned around and found that the woman had fallen sideways on the ice platform, with her black hair scattered all over the floor.

He couldn't even control his body balance, which obviously meant he was not in a sitting position, but in a coma.

You Su frowned slightly, not wanting to miss this God-given opportunity, he simply took out the Mosong Sword to cut the ice. In just a few strokes, he cut a gap in the ice wall, and the biting cold wind quickly blew in.

You Su couldn't help but shiver, and before leaving, he looked back one last time, only to see that the cold wind had blown Venerable Qianlong's messy hair behind her head, revealing her fairy face that was rated first on the Heavenly Immortal List.

You Su's pupils were slightly startled as he saw that this always arrogant face now showed some fragility like glass.

"Deserved it."

He cursed softly, and without hesitation, he squeezed out of the gap.

The mountains are high and the road is long, and the sky and the earth are gray.

You Su shook his legs and started walking according to his memory.

In the ice cave, Venerable Qianlong was still lying on the ice platform, not noticing You Su's departure at all. Her face was not looking good. She was obviously freezing cold, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Suddenly, a flickering flame illuminated her profile. The unique deep facial features of the people of Beiaozhou cast large shadows under the light of the fire, making them look even more breathtakingly beautiful.

It was You Su who had returned and picked up a pile of dry firewood, and lit a fire in the cave. He also moved a large stone to block the gap that allowed the wind to come in.

He walked up to the most beautiful and noble woman in Beiaozhou, cursing, and turned the Mosong sword in his palm - according to his principle of revenge, he should stab this crazy woman through the heart with his sword, because this woman once tried to kill him.

But his sword just stayed on the woman's long skirt embroidered with a dragon, and did not continue stabbing.

Of course he couldn't kill this woman, but he also couldn't watch her die.

Because she is the only one who can close the sea wells that are constantly gushing out evil tides. It can be said that if one wants to save the entire Beiaozhou, she is the one who cannot die.

You Su pursed his lips, and the sword light suddenly appeared, drawing a silver thread in the ice cave.

The collar of Venerable Qianlong's clothes ripped apart, and a piece of the remnant fell onto the ice platform, revealing most of her beautiful back.

When that back, which was as white as snow, was exposed to the firelight, his breathing suddenly stagnated.

The first time he was shocked by the beauty of Bai Ze's back, he had imagined what kind of extraordinary beauty the back of Venerable Qianlong, whom he mistook for Bai Ze's mother, would have.

But after seeing it with his own eyes, he realized that his imagination was still too narrow.

Her back was like mutton-fat jade soaked in moonlight, with a clear glow flowing through even the skin texture. Language was already at its limit here, and You Su was unable to describe this natural beauty.

Even if this naturalness is destroyed.

The wound that extended from her right shoulder to her waist was coiled around her like a centipede. The skin and flesh were turned outward with a strange dark blue color, and spider-web-like white lines spread around the wound.

This should be the key reason why she fell into coma. Facing the siege of the Twelve Immortals, she was inevitably injured.

You Su noticed these dark blue things. They were devouring the jade-like skin at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even looking at them made people gasp.

This doesn't seem to be caused by magic, but more like a poison.

You Su could also see that the moves of the twelve great immortals were mainly to suppress and siege. Otherwise, if they all used their big moves, Venerable Qianlong would also fight for his life. The desperate battle between the thirteen Dongxu Venerables would definitely be dozens of times louder than that time. By then, I am afraid that not only the Divine Mountain, but also the four cities outside the Kongyuan would be affected.

So they didn't want to kill Venerable Qianlong, or they didn't want to make her angry.

But... someone secretly poisoned it.

That man wanted this woman to die.

You Su could figure out the answer with his toes. It must be the Venerable Ningshuang who had just experienced the pain of losing his son. With a son like that, I would definitely be worse.

But finding out the real culprit would not help cure the woman. You Su had never seen such a poison before, and didn't even know how much of an impact it would have on her, or whether it would kill her.

It seems that his only way to save people is his panacea-like blood of Allah. But that means he has to take this woman as his wife.

"How long do you want to see it?"

The cold female voice startled You Su's fingertips. He was just about to dig up some poison to test it on himself. Venerable Qianlong opened his eyes at some point. She turned her head back, with broken ice floating in her eyes. Even though she was so seriously injured, her arrogant attitude was still like looking down on an ant.

"I'm not interested in old women."

You Su did not stop, and deliberately tore the blood-stained fabric open half an inch, and dug hard at her wound, leaving his fingertips stained with dark blue.

Even though she was an almighty female fairy in the upper realm of Dongxu, she was screaming in pain at this moment.

"you wanna die!"

The black ice suddenly condensed into a spike and pressed against his throat. Venerable Qianlong's bloody fingertips clasped his wrist veins, "It only takes a thought for me to kill you!"

"And then you'll be left dead in the wilderness, watching Beiao fall?" You Su advanced instead of retreating, letting the ice spikes cut his skin. "I knew that I couldn't rely on you to ensure the safety of Beiao. If I had known that you would only vent your anger on me, I shouldn't have turned back. I shouldn't have trusted Bai Ze and traveled thousands of miles to tell you the news. It's me who disturbed you and woke you up from your dream of achieving your great cause. If you want to kill me, then kill me. Beiaozhou won't need another soul like me."

A spark burst out from the fire, and Venerable Qianlong caught a glimpse of the hole in the wall that was still leaking air.

He could have run but he didn't...he came back to save me? But I...

The ice spike shattered into powder before touching the artery. She snorted coldly, withdrew her hand, and turned around.

"I don't need your help. I have my own way to detoxify you." Her voice was still so arrogant.

"That's great." You Su was thankful and simply sat further away and started to warm himself by the fire.

The two fell into silence. Looking at the woman's back, You Su actually read a hint of desolation.

In the final analysis, this woman was also motivated by Bei Ao, but she became stubborn because of her obsession. If it were him, he would find it even harder to believe that his ideals of hundreds of years were used by others and eventually turned into something completely different.

The person who hated the most, felt the most pain and regretted the most after learning the truth was the woman on the top of the mountain.

But You Su Ke had no intention of comforting her. After warming her up, he stood up and rubbed his hands. "Since you can save yourself, I will leave. My senior sister and Bai Ze are still in Shenshan. I must go to save them."

"You can't go back." The woman said coldly.

You Su raised an eyebrow, "Why?"

"First, you are only at the Water Condensation Realm. Saving them is tantamount to seeking your own death. There are people all over the mountain who want to get the Sky Awakening Light in your hand. Second, they don't need you to save them. Someone has activated the mountain's protective formation, so those twelve people are no longer such a big threat."

"A mountain protection formation? What's its use?" You Su had never heard of this thing, but he thought it made sense. After all, such a huge sacred mountain must have some means of self-protection.

"You were the son of the God of Exorcism, but you haven't even read the 'Book of Protecting the Mountain'?" The woman's tone was somewhat contemptuous, as if You Su didn't even know this thing, and must be an unlearned person who was just filling in the gaps.

"Grandma, how can I read since I'm blind?" You Su rolled his eyes.

In fact, it's not that You Su can't read, but everyone thinks he is blind, so they won't recommend books to him. And no one would think of attacking the sacred mountain, and the so-called mountain protection formation is not a common knowledge in Henggao Sacred Mountain.

However, Venerable Qianlong was still startled when she heard this. She turned her head and glanced at the young man again. A rare trace of guilt appeared in her eyes. She even didn't bother to pursue the fact that You Su called her "grandma" and patiently explained to him:
"The mountain protection formation is one of the major means of protecting the sacred mountain. All five sacred mountains have this formation. Once it is activated, the mysterious energy around the sacred mountain will be drained away instantly, and the perception of the mysterious energy by everything will be suppressed for the next six hours. So even if ten thousand immortals come to attack, they will not be able to hurt the sacred mountain in the six hours after the formation is activated."

You Su was also shocked after hearing this. He didn't realize that there was such a heaven-defying formation that could block the perception of Xuanqi on such a large scale. He believed that the moves of the Twelve Immortals were instantly dissolved because of the formation.

"If others can't take action, then Shenshan's own people can't take action either? What will happen after six hours?"

"Of course there are defensive methods that don't require humans."

You Su nodded slightly, knowing that the sacred mountain could stand for five thousand years without collapsing, and the background behind it was truly unimaginable.

"But even if those twelve venerables can't do anything, can my senior sister and Bai Ze escape?"

"I can't escape, but at least my safety is guaranteed. The twelve venerables were timid when they captured me, which means they were afraid that the matter would be completely exposed. But if the formation is activated, everyone in Shenshan will know what happened last night. If they want to explain, they can only stigmatize me as someone who colluded with evil spirits, but they dare not do so easily. It is just a means to force me to retreat."

"Because if this happens, everyone in the sacred mountain will know that evil demons are roaming in the distant mountains, and some of them will definitely not tolerate it. The conflict will be intensified, but they don't want their plan to be interrupted. So they won't do this easily unless it's absolutely necessary." You Su took over the conversation, "But there are too many strange things in this battle. They will definitely realize that Bai Ze and Senior Sister are related to the battle last night. They will definitely not let them be dealt with by the twelve venerables."

Venerable Qianlong glanced at You Su again, with a hint of approval between his brows, and then full of worry:
"Yes, their biggest weakness is that they themselves know that this is inhumane, so they acted first and reported later, blocking the news until the matter was done."

"In this case, there are two ways to destroy their plan. First, let those who have been kept in the dark on Shenshan realize their evil deeds; second, block the sea well as soon as possible to prevent the wood from being built into a boat!" You Su finally saw hope and his tone was somewhat excited.

Venerable Qianlong nodded slightly, "If we want to stop the loss in time, we have to pursue two paths in parallel. Let them take the first path, and we will take the second path."

You Su found this strange, "Why should I go with you on this second path? Can't I just go back and help them?"

Venerable Qianlong replied: "Your status is inconvenient, so it is not appropriate for you to show up in the sacred mountain, otherwise it will only attract conflicts to you."

You Su thought to himself that her answer was logical. Taking him away was not only to protect them, but also to protect him, so he asked curiously:
"You were so kind when you captured me. Did you expect this?"

"Why do you think I captured you?" Venerable Qianlong asked indifferently.

"I was afraid that you were so angry that you wanted to hold me hostage for revenge after hearing me scold you. Later, we were surrounded by others. If you really wanted to escape, you should have just thrown me away. But you found that I didn't say a single wrong word, so you didn't have the face to watch me die because of you, so you had to hold me hostage, and then you came here."

Venerable Qianlong's eyes flickered, and after a pause he said calmly, "Whatever you want to think is up to you."

You Su curled the corner of his mouth, thinking that this woman was really a stinky and hard stone.

The next moment, a sharp pain spread from his fingertips, which had turned dark blue, to his entire arm!
