Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

But Bai Shimen, who had his back to her, spoke in a woman's voice, "Little girl, I must say, your perseverance truly surprises me!"

"But that's all..."

Surrounded by wind and snow, Bai Shimen transformed into a white-haired woman, declaring, "I am the queen of this snow kingdom!"

"So, everything that just happened was fake?"

Bai Shui'er got up from the ground, clenched her fists, and stared intently at Xue Wang.

How do you know about my father?

Snow King said casually, "My ability is mind reading; knowing your past is a piece of cake for me!"

Bai Shui'er gritted her teeth, "How dare you use my memories with my father to toy with our feelings!"

"I'm more concerned with the other things I see than with your memories of your father!"

"Li Moxuan, I never expected that the most mysterious member of the Greedy Wolf Battalion would have such a name, and that he would also possess the legendary Martial God Body..."

Snow King glanced at her. "He's very important to you, isn't he?"

"In the prime of youth, a young girl's heart is filled with longing; he is yours..."

"Shut up!"

Bai Shui'er's eyes turned icy. "If you dare to joke about my memories again, I will definitely kill you!"

"Ha, you can barely even catch a glimpse of me now, and you still want to kill me?"

Snow King ignored Bai Shui'er's threat and continued, "Originally, the Spirit Master only wanted us to test your strength, but I didn't expect that Greed Wolf would have such treacherous intentions..."

Chapter 32: Invoking the Gods

"I have already passed the message to the other two kings. I believe they will kill Tanlang... no, I mean Li Moxuan in this ancient Luhua Tower!"

Snow King stared at Bai Shui'er and said, word by word, "And all of this is thanks to his unconditional trust in you!"

These words pierced Bai Shui'er's heart like an invisible sword: "I'm going to kill you!"

Bai Shui'er mustered her last strength, conjured a long spear in her hand, and charged towards the Snow King.

With a wave of his hand, the Snow King sent several ice spikes up from the ground, forming an ice prison that trapped her.

Bai Shui'er's arms and legs were pierced by ice spikes, and blood flowed out along the ice spikes...

"Don't worry, you deserve the most credit for eliminating this hidden danger for the Spirit Realm. I will report the truth to the Spirit Master and will not steal your credit!"

Snow King turned around, "Your merits and demerits cancel each other out, perhaps the Spirit Master will spare your life!"

"Before you get there, I advise you not to waste your energy. After the depletion of your spiritual power in the Frozen Valley, you won't be able to break through this ice prison with your current strength..."

"Stop right there!"

Bai Shui'er wanted to use her spiritual power to condense a weapon, but the spiritual power she had left was barely enough to heal her injuries, let alone condense a weapon.

No...

Bai Shui'er hesitated for a moment, then took out the summoning talisman that Huangfu Longdou had given her, and the words Huangfu Longdou had said to her flashed through her mind.

"The more powerful the deity you invite, the greater the price you will pay. Moreover, if the deity you invite doesn't like you, it might just kill you!"

"Although the risks are great, if you succeed, you will have a powerful god as your guardian spirit. At that time, there will be only a handful of people in the entire underworld who can stand against you."

"If you've truly made up your mind, I hope this power can help you protect the people you want to protect!"

Bai Shui'er took a deep breath, smeared her own blood onto the summoning talisman, and her eyes became resolute.

"I will never allow anyone to take the one I love away from me again!"

As she channeled her remaining spiritual power into the summoning talisman, it instantly unleashed tremendous force, causing the ice prison to vanish in an instant. The entire snow kingdom began to tremble and crumble...

"What's going on?!"

Snow King's expression changed, and he turned around to look behind him. Bai Shui'er had already fallen asleep and was floating in mid-air.

The talisman hovering above her head emitted a burst of intense heat, completely enveloping her.

What did she do?

Why is the surrounding ice and snow starting to melt?

What exactly is that flame?

Snow King noticed the talisman above Bai Shui'er's head and suddenly remembered the scene she had seen in Bai Shui'er's memory. It was... a summoning talisman?

……

Where is this?

In the desolate and lonely valley, the entire sky was covered by dark clouds. Bai Shui'er walked around in a daze. Didn't she use a summoning talisman? How did she end up here?

"So you're the one who brought me here?"

Following the sound, Bai Shui'er looked at the tall stone pillar not far away, where a figure was sitting quietly.

Bai Shui'er took a few steps closer and then saw clearly that the person sitting on it seemed to be a child of about seven or eight years old, with a double bun hairstyle tied on top of their head with a red ribbon.

She wore a crimson battle skirt that resembled layers of red lotus petals, with dark gold runes shimmering along the edges, and a breastplate shaped like a golden lotus bud about to bloom.

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on a stone pillar, propping his head up with one hand, while playing with a golden bracelet in the other.

Bai Shui'er looked around but couldn't find anyone else. She tentatively asked, "Are you the deity I summoned?"

"That's right..."

The child glanced at Bai Shui'er casually and immediately lost interest. "You're too weak. You're not qualified to command me!"

“I don’t like killing, but if I don’t kill you, I’ll have to wait a long time to go back, so…”

As soon as she finished speaking, a raging fire instantly erupted around Bai Shui'er, and the entire canyon was scorched like a fiery mountain.

"what……"

Bai Shui'er immediately knelt down on the ground in pain, sweat dripping incessantly, and her body felt a piercing pain that went deep into her soul.

The feeling was like the pain in her body being magnified dozens of times, and then being subjected to the torture of being slowly sliced ​​to death. She almost fainted from the pain and could only bite her tongue to stay awake...

These flames seemed to be burning her soul...

"Don't worry, it won't be long before your soul is devoured by these flames. The pain won't last long..."

"wait wait wait……"

Bai Shui'er lay on the ground, panting heavily, and asked through the excruciating pain deep in her soul, "You...you...haven't even...tested me yet...how dare you say I...am not qualified?"

How could he still stay conscious?

The child seemed intrigued and sat down again. "In that case, I'll test you!"

He pointed to the canyon behind him, "If you can get out of this Crimson Flame Valley, then I will acknowledge you!"

"On the contrary, if you take a step back, I will immediately eliminate you, how about that?"

"It's a promise..."

Bai Shui'er lay on the ground, and after getting used to the stinging pain in her body, it took her a while to successfully condense a long spear with her spiritual power and stand up.

Having finally made it through the Frozen Valley, now we have to traverse the Crimson Flame Valley – it's like experiencing both ice and fire at the same time…

She supported herself and stepped through the seemingly endless Crimson Flame Valley. The further she went, the higher the temperature became.

Flames erupted on the surrounding ground and cliffs, scorching Bai Shui'er. She was like an ant on a hot pan, unable to resist with her spiritual power and only able to hold on with her willpower.

Soon the sun set, but the temperature in Crimson Flame Valley showed no signs of decreasing, and Bai Shui'er continued to walk forward step by step.

The sun rises and sets, then sets again...

Countless days and nights have passed. Bai Shui'er's eyes are bloodshot. Under the scorching heat, she can no longer feel her body. Her body seems to be moving forward only by instinct.

She looked up at the exit that was so close, gritted her teeth, and thought, "Hang in there, we're almost there!"

The willpower has actually been able to withstand my divine power for so long and still refuse to yield...

The child had been observing Bai Shui'er, and it has to be said that he was starting to like this girl; his willpower was incredibly strong!

Even if an ordinary person doesn't fall down, they should at least stop by now. But not only did she not fall down, she kept moving forward, which was truly surprising!

However, there is still one final test to be passed...

"Roar--"

In the sky, a little white dragon roared and landed in front of Bai Shui'er. Its scarlet dragon eyes stared at Bai Shui'er, and before she could react, it slammed her into the cliff wall with a palm.

Bai Shui'er crashed into the cliff face, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed to the ground...

Seeing that Bai Shui'er lay motionless on the ground for a long time, the child sighed, "What a pity!"

Just then, her hand suddenly moved, and she immediately got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and stood up again.

The child "kindly" advised, "You've already done a great job of holding on this far. If you give up now, I can let you out, and I'll return to my world after you die of old age. How about that?"

He glanced at the little white dragon with red eyes beside him, "You can't beat this guy!"

"Cough cough... That just woke me up..."

Bai Shui'er raised her head, her eyes unusually firm beneath her disheveled white hair. "This is my inner world. As long as I believe I can defeat it, it will never be my match!"

"Conversely, if I feel weaker than my opponent, I cannot defeat them even if I fight with all my might!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her spiritual power surged, and her injuries healed rapidly at a visible speed, with a silver-white spear appearing in her hand.

"The one I truly need to defeat is not it, nor you, but myself!"

"That's interesting!"

With a casual wave of his hand, the little white dragon vanished, and he landed at the exit of Crimson Flame Valley. "Since that's what you think, then let me test just how capable you are!"

"Before that, state your name!"

"The Great God of the Three Altars and Seas—Nezha!"
