Hell Emperor.

Chapter 654 Medicine White - A Heart Full of Calamity
Having made up her mind, Li Feie spoke without hesitation:

"Since the Snow Mountain Goddess has reached an agreement with Jamila to take the life of her firstborn child, it will be useless even if we defeat the Asura King. As the saying goes, the one who tied the knot must untie it. To completely resolve this matter, we need to find the Snow Mountain Goddess!"

After a pause, Li Feie looked at the Asura King:
"Tell me the whereabouts of the Snow Mountain Goddess! Where is she now? Let's go find her!"

King Asura was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised by everyone's decision, but still answered truthfully:

"The Snow Mountain Goddess dwells atop the snow-capped mountain. To the east of here lies the highest sacred mountain on the entire continent, the Himalayas, where she resides. Not only the Snow Mountain Goddess, but also the most powerful figures on the continent, who once dominated the continent, all dwell on the sacred mountain. Among them, there are some so powerful that even I am no match for them."

As he spoke, King Asura also seemed slightly puzzled: "What benefits did Jamila give you? She is just a mortal, and her child is destined to be mediocre. Even if she reincarnates a hundred times, her strength will still not be as great as mine. Why should you risk your lives for her, even at the risk of offending the Snow Mountain Goddess? The Snow Mountain Goddess's temper, though not as fiery as Asura's, is as cold as the wind. Once she gets angry, the consequences will be unbearable."

Li Feie sneered, "So what if they're mortals? We act on behalf of Heaven, why should we care about their background? I doubt you could understand."

Shen Qingge silently recited the incantation, and a wisp of icy sword energy suddenly rose up, extinguishing the blazing flames around Asura King's body. It penetrated deeper into his body, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He exclaimed in shock, "What is that? What did you do to me?"

Shen Qingge said slowly, "It's just a sword aura. The sword aura resides in your heart meridian. At such close range, even if you have the blessing of the goddess, I'm afraid you are powerless to turn the tide. If you make any unusual moves, I will activate the sword aura, and then your only fate will be death."

The Asura King's eyes were filled with anger, but he swallowed it all and dared not lash out in public.

Although the Asuras are constantly in a state of rage, they are not stupid at all. If they disobey now, they will probably not escape death. It is better to be obedient and save their lives first.

"If you dare, I can take you to the sacred mountain, but what will happen there is beyond my knowledge..."

Asura King spoke in a deep voice, making no attempt to conceal the dangers ahead. In response, Shen Qingge parted her thin lips:

"That's good. Once we persuade the Snow Mountain Goddess, she will naturally release you. You just need to focus on leading the way."

King Asura remained silent, but couldn't help shaking his head inwardly.

He knew far more about the dangers of the sacred mountain than anyone else. When the strongest experts from the entire continent gathered there, every step was fraught with peril. Without sufficient cultivation to protect oneself, venturing there rashly would only result in death.

Although this group of people had some strength and could defeat him, they were nothing more than that in his eyes. Even the blessing of the Snow Mountain Goddess almost completely stumped them, so how could they compare with the strong people on the sacred mountain?
However, King Asura did not reveal the news. If anything happened to them, he could regain his hard-won freedom, so he would not try to stop them. After deciding to set off for the sacred mountain, the group used the last moments to make preparations for their departure.

Hua Xiaomei went to the market in the city to buy what she might need. Shen Qingge kept her eyes fixed on Asura King, not giving him any chance to resist. Su Miao went to the city lord's mansion to choose a cultivation technique she had never seen before. Yao Bai stayed by Jamila and her child's side, whispering a few words from time to time, as if comforting the frightened two.

Li Feie walked quickly to Nan Linghe's side, whose face was full of concern, and said with a hint of joy:
“Sister He, thanks to you speaking up for me, I was able to persuade Master and Grandmaster. Otherwise, no matter how much I said, they wouldn’t have changed their minds.”

In the end, Li Feie couldn't help but stick out her tongue. No one understood her master and grandmaster's temper better than her. They were both people who meant what they said, and it would be quite difficult to change their minds. Yet Nan Linghe managed to do it.

Just as Nan Linghe and Ren Changhong were confronting each other, even Li Feie felt an invisible pressure and couldn't help but worry for Nan Linghe. You know, even Li Feie herself found it hard to withstand the pressure emanating from Ren Changhong, let alone the timid Nan Linghe. Li Feie was really worried that Nan Linghe would be overwhelmed by Ren Changhong's aura and would have no choice but to compromise in the end.

Fortunately, that didn't happen. Facing the assertive Ren Changhong, Nan Linghe argued with reason, her clear eyes showing no sign of wavering. Perhaps because of this, she was finally able to move her master, and even her grandmaster had no choice but to compromise.

Thinking of this, Li Feie smiled, and her eyes, when looking at Nan Linghe, revealed a hint of joy from the bottom of her heart:
"Thanks to your help, that mother and child were safe and sound. And Yao Bai, although she seems a bit unreliable and always makes people angry, she is quite dependable when it comes to crucial moments. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to successfully defeat the Asura King. Indeed, you and Yao Bai are my best companions!"

Nan Linghe gazed at the mother and child in the distance, a hint of pity in her eyes. Her gaze was so lost in thought that it was unclear whether she had even heard Li Feie's words. After a long while, she finally spoke:
"I just... want to help them, like Brother Jie did."

Li Fei'e pursed her lips, somewhat uncertainly saying, "That's true... but this matter is a bit complicated. It's not simply a case of the Asura King attacking mortals. Even if Brother Jie were here, the choice he would make would probably be similar to Master's... But no matter what, we still managed to do it. We just need to go to the sacred mountain and clear up the misunderstanding with the Snow Mountain Goddess, and Jamila and her child will be completely safe!"

Li Feie's tone was light and cheerful, with a hint of encouragement in her words, as if victory was just around the corner. Nan Linghe was also moved by her words and nodded vigorously: "That's right! As long as we are all together, we can definitely solve this problem perfectly!"

In the distance, Yao Bai finished her conversation with Jamila, a bright smile involuntarily appearing on her lips, adding a unique radiance to her pretty face.
"I see, that's how the Arrow of Kama is used... Judging from your experience over the years, the city lord should never have realized this, and has no idea that his love for you is due to the influence of the divine artifact."

Jamila nodded: "That's right... According to the Snow Mountain Goddess, those who are struck by Kama's arrow will not experience any physical or mental discomfort. Even if I tell him the truth, he won't believe me. He'll just think he fell in love with me at first sight."

Yao Bai silently noted down the message and kept making plans in his mind. Before long, all preparations were complete, and the group embarked on their journey to the sacred mountain.
