Chapter 574: Chapter 234: Sect Leader Nalan Yan of the Cyan Lotus Sect

"The snow stopped?"

"This snow came so strangely, it seems caused by a cultivation technique."

"How is that possible? Such a celestial phenomenon, unless it’s the Divinity Transformation Realm, who else could do it?"

"What if it’s... Xia Qinglian?"

"No way... maybe it’s that ghost, such an extremely Yin entity might also be able to cause an abrupt cold snap in the weather."

At the summit of Cyan Lotus Mountain.

Su Xin, Jian Yue, Wei Wan, several commanding disciples were crouching, waiting for the evil entity to reappear.

They waited for a long time with no movement.

Suddenly, heavy snow started falling from the sky, leaving everyone astonished. It was summer, how could it snow?

While discussing, the snow suddenly stopped again.

Su Xin abruptly looked towards the distant woods to the east.

From that direction came an extreme chill.

"It’s that ghost!"

"Let’s go!"

The commanding disciples exchanged glances and simultaneously dashed towards the east.

But they found the cold from that direction growing more intense, even the tall tree crowns far away started to freeze over, and there was an eerie pale light flickering on the frost.

"We can’t get close to this cold!"

"Is this the power of that ghost?"

"What exactly is it attacking?"

The few of them looked at each other; their cultivation techniques couldn’t withstand such sinister cold. Rushing in would damage their foundations.

Chun Ningzhi suddenly said, "Among all the disciples, He Zhiqiu possesses the most Yang Qi, why not call him over?"

Su Xin shook her head, "No, even if Junior Brother He could go in, he wouldn’t be a match for that evil entity!"

"Senior brothers and sisters!"

At that moment, Cheng Qingyu caught up from behind and said to them:

"He Zhiqiu, Ruo Mei, He Su, and Lan Yin are missing!"

"What?!" Su Xin was shocked, "Weren’t male disciples told not to go out?"

They suddenly glanced towards the increasingly icy woods in the distance.

"Could it be..."

In the woods.

"It’s here!"

A blurry white shadow slowly appeared in the air, suddenly opening its eyes, its ghostly cold gaze looking at them.

It paused on Qiu Zhihe’s face for a moment, finally landing on Qin Gengyun.

The white shadow seemed to be struggling to restrain itself, but in the end, couldn’t resist the incredibly enticing scent of Yang Qi from Qin Gengyun, and with a whoosh, it appeared right in front of him.

"Husband, watch out!"

Qiu Zhihe hurriedly stood in front of Qin Gengyun, Liu Su and Mo Xiaolan also stepped forward, Mist Spirit Eye and Orchid appeared, preparing to help Qiu Zhihe capture this residual soul.

The next moment, the ghost suddenly raised its head, revealing a face hidden by disheveled hair, and in its ghostly cold eyes, light shot out abruptly!

In an instant, Qiu Zhihe’s beautiful eyes widened, and she cried out in shock:

"Master?!"

Liu Su was also stunned, "Sect Leader?!"

Mo Xiaolan was horrified, "I can’t move!"

"Master, you’re not dead? That’s great!"

Tears once again flowed from Qiu Zhihe’s eyes, her voice trembling.

"Miss, it’s not good, I can’t move either! Sect Leader seems to not recognize us anymore! Her target is the young master!"

Qiu Zhihe finally snapped back to reality, only to find herself unable to move as well.

She finally understood why several disciples were killed without being able to resist.

This must be a certain ability of the master after turning into a residual soul.

But why did the master become a residual soul, and why did she return to Cyan Lotus Mountain, was unknown.

But right now, the most important thing was to break free of this bizarre control and stop the master from harming her husband.

The blurry white shadow suddenly swept past the three of them and rushed towards Qin Gengyun!

At this moment, Qin Gengyun was also immobilized by the residual soul’s mysterious power, completely unable to resist, only watching it charge towards him.

The most absurd part was that this residual soul was the Cyan Lotus Sect Leader, Nalan Yan, once ranked first on the Ascension Chart!

And his wife called her "Master."

His wife’s identity...

But at this moment, Qin Gengyun had no time to ponder, the blurry white shadow was already before him!

"Master, that’s my husband!"

Qiu Zhihe shouted, but the blurry white shadow seemed to have lost its mind, not stopping at all, its hands piercing into Qin Gengyun’s chest!

"Mother!!"

Qiu Zhihe screamed mournfully, the blurry white shadow paused, turning her head slightly toward her, showing a faint human-like emotional fluctuation in its ghostly cold eyes.

"Master, sob sob sob, I went back to the village to see father and mother, but it turns out, they are all dead! I have no parents!"

"Qinglian, don’t be sad, from now on I will be your mother."

"Master? Mother, mother!"

"Child, good, good, mother will always protect you."

"Mother!"

"Mother!!"

Qiu Zhihe was in tears, looking at the vague and indistinct residue of Nalan Yan’s soul.

The once dignified and neatly styled hair was now completely disheveled.

Her beautiful and loving eyes turned eerie and cold.

The tall, graceful body was gone, leaving only a shrunken, indistinct mass.

However, the way she looked at her, still as loving and doting as ever.

"Mother, mother, it’s me... he’s my husband, please don’t hurt him."

Suddenly, the eyes of the blurred figure turned cold once more, and the Yang Qi on Qin Gengyun’s body attracted it again.

The residual soul darted into Qin Gengyun’s body with a whoosh!

"It’s over, it seems the Sect Leader doesn’t like this son-in-law?"

Liu Su looked despairing, muttering to himself.

"Husband!" Qiu Zhihe was shocked, quickly telling Qin Gengyun:

"Remember what I taught you, Divine Phoenix Separation Flame!"

The night before last, when Qiu Zhihe sent a wisp of Li Fire into Qin Gengyun, during the intersection of Yin and Yang, Qiu Zhihe called the fusion of Divine Phoenix Flame and Li Fire, "Divine Phoenix Separation Flame."

She urged Qin Gengyun, if attacked by that residual soul, he must immediately control the Divine Phoenix Separation Flame to protect his Spirit Field.

The purest Yang Qi of male cultivators resides in the Spirit Field.

As long as it is preserved, they can remain safe.

At this moment, Qin Gengyun was all cold, even his blood felt like it was going to freeze. He quickly controlled the Divine Phoenix Separation Flame within him, tightly wrapping it around the Spirit Field.

The next instant, that icy chill collided with the Divine Phoenix Separation Flame.

Woosh!

"Sis... sis... child..."

Qin Gengyun seemed to hear an extremely strange screeching sound, and some inexplicable hoarse words.

But at this moment, his whole body was frozen, he couldn’t pay attention to anything else, only desperately maintaining the Divine Phoenix Separation Flame, resisting the continuous impacts from the other party.

This residual soul clearly lost its mind, only its extreme Yin entity’s desire for Yang Qi remained, now her movements were all instinctual, not caring if he was her "son-in-law."

"Oh no, Miss, the young master is frozen like a popsicle!"

At this moment, in the eyes of Qiu Zhihe and the others, Qin Gengyun was frozen all over, completely becoming an ice sculpture.

Spit!

Qiu Zhihe spat a mouthful of blood, forcibly breaking free from the shackles, swiftly moving to Qin Gengyun’s side, embracing him without hesitation.

Soon after, Qiu Zhihe too was frozen into an ice sculpture with Qin Gengyun.

"Miss!"

"Sister Qiu, Qin Gengyun!"
