Chapter 169 Cold as Frost

"If we encounter the Heavenly Sword Sect during this trip to the secret realm, they will definitely target Heavenly Sword Peak."

"And as fellow disciples, we will naturally be drawn into this as well."

Hearing this secret, Lu Xuan was also somewhat surprised.

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother Xiao."

Lu Xuan bowed and thanked him.

"We're all brothers, no need to be so polite."

Xiao Huohuo waved his hand, then turned his gaze to the other side.

There stood a group of female disciples dressed in moon-white robes.

The leader had a cold and aloof demeanor, and an exceptionally beautiful appearance, but she gave off a feeling of keeping people at arm's length.

"Who is that—"

Lu Xuan followed Xiao Huohuo's gaze.

"That's Leng Rushuang, the senior disciple of Yaoyue Peak."

Su Qinghuan answered Lu Xuan's question.

"She is also at the ninth level of the Returning Origin Realm, and is the only female disciple at the peak of the ninth level of the Returning Origin Realm among this generation of disciples."

"His strength is unfathomable."

"It is said that she has cultivated the Taiyin True Scripture to an extremely profound level, and once she makes a move, it can freeze a thousand miles of land."

"and----"

Xiao Huohuo glanced at Su Qinghuan, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.

"And what?"

Lu Xuan asked.

"Moreover, for some reason, she has always harbored great hostility towards Junior Sister Su."

Xiao Huohuo gave a wry smile and took over the conversation.

"I don't know the specific reason either, just be careful if you encounter it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan frowned slightly.

He looked at Senior Sister Leng Rushuang, only to find that she was also looking at him.

Those cold eyes lingered on Su Qinghuan for a moment, then glanced at Lu Xuan.

Then he walked towards Lu Xuan step by step.

With each step, the surrounding air seemed to condense, and the deck beneath our feet was instantly covered with a thin layer of white frost.

She stared intently at Lu Xuan.

His eyes were devoid of any warmth, only filled with undisguised, chilling killing intent.

The oppressive aura of the ninth level of the Returning Origin Realm was released without reservation.

Lu Xuan frowned slightly, his body tensed instinctively, and the chaotic spiritual energy within his body circulated on its own to resist the chill.

"Junior Sister Leng, what do you mean by this?"

Just as Leng Rushuang was less than three zhang away from Lu Xuan.

A figure suddenly cut in and stood between the two.

It was Xiao Huohuo.

The fiery aura emanating from his body surged instantly, directly repelling the oppressive chill.

"This is an airship, and we're all fellow disciples. Junior Sister, isn't this murderous aura a bit excessive?"

Xiao Huohuo wore a smile, but his eyes were unusually firm, and he wouldn't budge an inch.

Leng Rushuang stopped in her tracks, her eyes sweeping coldly over Xiao Huohuo.

"None of your business."

"Get out of here."

His voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.

Xiao Huohuo's smile gradually faded.

He knew the temperament of this senior sister of Yaoyue Peak well; she was known for being aloof and arrogant, and once she made up her mind, nothing could change it.

But as the senior disciple of Lieyang Peak, how could he stand by and watch his junior brother be bullied?

"Junior Sister Leng, Lu Xuan is the chief disciple of my Blazing Sun Peak."

"If you want to touch him, you'd better kill him first!"

Xiao Huohuo snorted coldly and took a step forward.

"boom!"

Two completely opposite forces collided in mid-air.

On one side is extreme cold frost, and on the other side is blazing fire.

The clash between ice and fire created a violent surge of spiritual energy that whipped up a strong wind, causing the robes of the surrounding disciples to flutter wildly as they retreated in alarm.

"So strong!"

"Is this the strength of the peak of the ninth level of the Returning Origin Realm?"

"Just the sheer force of our presence is making it hard for me to breathe!"

The other disciples on the flying boat were all pale-faced, their eyes filled with awe.

Even Jian Wuchen, the senior disciple of Tianjian Peak, who was not far away, slightly opened his eyes and looked over.

Leng Rushuang looked at Xiao Huohuo, who was blocking her way, and a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes.

She slightly raised her hand, and a chill gathered in her palm, as if she was about to make a move at any moment.

Xiao Huohuo's muscles were also tense, ready for battle.

The atmosphere between the two was tense and ready to erupt at any moment.

At this critical moment.

"snort."

Leng Rushuang suddenly snorted coldly, withdrawing her aura.

The chilling aura that filled the air vanished instantly, as if it had never existed.

"boring."

She uttered two words indifferently, then without even glancing at Xiao Huohuo, she let her light pass over his shoulder and fall on Lu Xuan again.

"You're Lu Xuan?"

Leng Rushuang asked.

Lu Xuan nodded, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Exactly."

"very good."

Leng Rushuang nodded, and then said something that shocked everyone present.

"Protect Qinghuan."

"If anything happens to her, I'll take your life."

After saying that, she turned and left.

He left everyone with only his back turned.

The entire room fell silent.

Xiao Huohuo was stunned.

He blinked, somewhat unable to believe his ears.

This woman is truly baffling!

"What... what's going on?"

"Haven't she always been hostile towards Junior Sister Su?"

Lu Xuan was also completely confused.

He looked in the direction Leng Rushuang had left, then glanced at Su Qinghuan beside him, who was equally bewildered.

"Qinghuan, has your senior sister always been this unique?"

Su Qinghuan shook her head, her eyes filled with confusion.

"I—I don't know either."

"Since I returned to the sect, I haven't said a single word to her except for this time."

"I always thought she didn't like me. After all, I came later, but I became her personal disciple earlier than her. In name, I should still be her senior sister."

"Because she is stronger, I always call her senior sister whenever we meet."

"But she's always been unhappy with me, and today—"

A feeling that was hard to describe welled up in Su Qinghuan's heart.

She was definitely concerned about herself just now.

But why is that?!

Xiao Huohuo stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

Clearly, they didn't understand what had gotten into this person.

He turned to look at Lu Xuan, patted him on the shoulder, and had a mocking expression on his face.

"Junior Brother Lu, you'd better be careful from now on."

"This guy is known for keeping his word."

"If you really make Junior Sister Su suffer any injustice, she might actually come and kill you with her sword."

Lu Xuan gave a wry smile.
