Chapter 931: Chapter 798: Endless Entanglements
âDamn it, I should have joined forces to crush him before he entered the city!â Elder Jiang stood on the city tower, his sharp eyes staring fiercely at Xiong Mo Moling, who was riding a three-eyed Demon Tiger in the distance!
A few months ago, Mo Ling was ordered to track down the Silver Demon, but after searching for a long time, he didnât find any trace of the Silver Demon.
Although he didnât find the Silver Demon, Mo Ling accidentally discovered a natural underground cave, through which he could secretly send his army to the vicinity of Snow City!
Mo Ling, as one of the Four Heroes, has great power in the Soul Covenant, and it would not be a problem for him to mobilize the soldiers of the Tenth Level Earth Realm.
So Mo Ling mobilized the army from the Soul Covenant to infiltrate through the cave, and they appeared in the snowy area to the south of Snow City without the knowledge of the surrounding forces.
Mo Ling was in no hurry to attack Snow City. The cityâs defenses were strong enough, and he relied on the ample strength of the army to directly occupy all the land south of Snow City, clearing all the sentry posts arranged by Snow City on the south side.
It seemed like he was garrisoning the south side of Snow City, but Mo Ling was actually continuously reinforcing his forces through the cave.
Snow City didnât take any action, and there was no intention to launch a counterattack, but Elder Jiang was extremely worried, because he was sure that if the enemy could easily appear outside the city after crossing dozens of kilometers of defense lines, they would certainly find a way to escape unnoticed when the three great palaces surrounded them, and then attack those weakly defended cities.
This would make Snow City very passive, especially since Li Hong was nowhere to be found. Without Li Hong, it would be difficult for anyone to subdue Mo Ling.
Of course, if Mo Ling could play this psychological game, so could Snow City. Elder Jiang deliberately played a ruse when Mo Ling suddenly appeared with his troops. The protagonist of this trick was the non-existent Li Hong.
Li Hong didnât know where he had gone, and there were hardly any people in Snow City who could directly confront Mo Ling. This was the most problematic part, and Mo Ling took advantage of this to infiltrate the city. Elder Jiang spread false news that Li Hong was in Snow City for closed-door cultivation, which was why Mo Ling only dared to station troops outside the city and did not dare to attack rashly.
Apparently, Mo Ling must be trying his best to find someone to determine Li Hongâs exact whereabouts. If it was confirmed that he was not in Snow City, Mo Ling would definitely take action.
Elder Jiang also sent out secret letters to summon experts from all over the world to return, and most importantly, to bring Li Hong back.
Almost every strong person could be described as an âascetic monkâ; they could not possibly stay in one place for long. Li Hong had been wandering through the north and south, both in the forbidden area and in the barren land, to make a breakthrough in his strength. This should be fine in the human territory and he should be able to return in time, but if he had left for the forbidden area, Snow City would be in trouble.
In any case, delay was still the best method.

Ice Mirror World
In the flat land, two ice coffin-like gaps suddenly appeared, and one of the ice coffins was soaked in a medicinal liquid, like a sleeping beauty who had been resting for a thousand years, showing herself off to the world in a state of enchantment, but at the same time keeping her eyes closed, as if she had no lifeâŠ
Her hair lay spread out in the liquid, or clung to her smooth skin.
After several days of soaking in the medicinal liquid, Mu Qingyiâs scars disappeared, and even the marks were gone, turning into a perfect piece of art hidden in the liquid.
Suddenly, her eyelashes shivered in the liquid, and she tried to breathe but was instantly choked by the medicinal liquid entering her throat. She instinctively propped herself up and then covered her flushed chest while coughing violently.
After coughing for a while, Mu Qingyi suddenly realized that she had returned to the Ice Mirror WorldâŠ
âWhat happened?â Mu Qingyi quickly recalled that she should have fallen into the Wind Cave, yet according to reason, once she had fallen into the Wind Cave, she should have been doomed. How did she end up in the Ice Mirror World, soaking in the rare medicinal liquid that she had painstakingly collected!
Generally, the medicine should be diluted and mixed with other purified water for use. Filling a large tank with it like this was a complete waste.
Mu Qingyi was of course aware that she was naked. After examining her mostly healed body, she wrapped herself in a red Fire Feather Dress, which she mysteriously took out from her space ring.
As she wrapped her body, the luxurious and coquettish Fire Feather Dress dried up all the medicine on her body, making her look much more vibrant.
Soon, Mu Qingyi found another ice trough not far from her with a strong, naked man lying on his back inside it. Fortunately, this guy was not completely naked, as he was wrapped in something that wouldnât be dissolved by the medicine.
âChu Fangchen?â Mu Qingyi was stunned as she looked around, trying to figure out who had saved them both.
But in the Ice Mirror World, there were just the two of them, and the Crowned Phoenix King had gone back to his space at some point and entered a deep sleep.
âDid he bring me out?â Mu Qingyi looked at the scattered potions next to Chu Mu and the space ring she used to store potions casually thrown on the ground, drawing a conclusion that she herself found hard to believe.
Chu Mu sensed that Mu Qingyi was awake and slowly opened his eyes. He propped himself up from the icy trough and wiped the fragrant medicine from his face with his hand.
âDid you get me out of there?â Mu Qingyi asked urgently.
âYeah.â Chu Mu nodded his head, as it was obviously difficult to hide such a thing.
âBut didnât we fall into the wind cave?â Mu Qingyi continued to ask.
âThe jade bracelet on your hand protected us, and then I understood the words about the windâŠâ Chu Mu naturally would not admit that he tore open the dimension space. That would be admitting to Mu Qingyi that he is a half-demon.
Chu Mu had already prepared his lie: when Mu Qingyiâs jade bracelet protected them, Chu Mu found another exit from the wind cave through the words about the wind, and then escaped.
Of course, Chu Mu tried to exaggerate the process as much as possible while giving credit to the jade bracelet.
Mu Qingyi looked at Chu Mu with a mixture of disbelief and uncertainty. As she had fainted before, she had no knowledge of what had actually happened, so she had to take Chu Muâs words as truth for now.
âIn such a dangerous situation, you still managed to stay calm and decipher the meaning of the wind languageâŠâ Mu Qingyi said, initially intending to express gratitude. However, she found it hard to say the words. It seemed like it had been a long time since she truly thanked anyone.
Seeing that Mu Qingyi was embarrassed, Chu Mu felt awkward, thinking that she was still fixated on the problem of being naked before.
âThank you.â Finally, Mu Qingyi said softly before biting her lip, lost in thought.
Chu Mu laughed nonchalantly and said, âDidnât you fly down to save me too?â
If it werenât for her flying down to save him, Chu Mu would have had a hard time adjusting to the situation, especially the jade braceletâs defense at the end of entering the strongest storm. Therefore, thanking each other was not important. They had helped each other, after all.
However, thinking that he should have killed her, but ended up saving her instead, the wind cave had indeed brought a lot of drama to their lives.
âI only found out that the abyss well above me was also a dead end.â Mu Qingyi noticed Chu Muâs strange gaze. In order to not be misunderstood, she quickly explained the true situation.
ââŠâ Chu Mu was left speechless. So it turned out that this woman didnât come to save him out of risk, but because she couldnât find another wayâŠ
Somewhat inexplicably, Chu Mu was reminded of the time when he saved Ting Lan and took the Wind-binding Spirit. Chu Mu earnestly told the real reason why he took the riskâŠ
As a result, this woman Mu Qingyi is also so straightforward!
For things like this, itâs fine not to mention it at all!
âAlright, weâve saved each other.â Chu Mu bitterly smiled. Heaven didnât allow him to kill this woman, so perhaps there would be a use for her in the future.
After walking such a long path and encountering the ancient palace, Chu Mu had gained quite a few benefits. Mu Qingyi had received a mysterious inheritance, but they still couldnât figure out the secret behind the existence of the mysterious ancient palace.
However, they never wanted to return to that damned place again. Even these two dominator-level powerhouses almost lost their lives there!
With their long exploration coming to an end, Chu Mu and Mu Qingyi decided to leave.
However, a serious problem arose.
The dimensional tear created by Chu Mu had a certain randomness when he landed in the Ice Mirror World. This meant that the claw mark trail left by the White Tiger was nowhere to be found. They couldnât find their way back.
âWhat a joke, why canât I get rid of this woman!â Chu Mu felt a tremor in his heart. Not mentioning the tedious events before, if Chu Mu had tried to kill her earlier, there probably wouldnât have been so much trouble afterwards, and he might not have lost his will to kill her now.
What was even more terrifying was that they had lost their way in the Ice Mirror World. It was like throwing a single man and woman into a desolate place, where mental torment could easily lead to trouble.
But why did such a dramatic thing happen to him? For the past tens of years of his bitter cultivation, he had never encountered such a clichéd yet tempting event. Just when he was determined not to waver, he was given this test. Had he really been jinxed by that woman Xiang Yunyun? The stronger he became, the more likely he was to encounter such troubles?
Chu Muâs heart belonged to someone else. Otherwise, when that enchantress Xiang Yunyun tried to seduce him with aphrodisiac powder at the Great Chu Noble Family, he would have revealed his true form.
Chu Muâs principle was that the woman he had a relationship with had to be someone he liked. Chu Mu couldnât say he liked Mu Qingyi, so he absolutely didnât want anything to happen between them under the pressure and mental torment, no matter how beautiful, tempting, high-positioned, or precious of a woman she was!
âŠ
âWhy canât I get rid of this man!â
As a queen of a realm and nicknamed âFemale War Goddess,â Mu Qingyi, who was usually chaste and uninterested in desire, was also complaining!
Previously, the incident of Chu Mu helping her heal while she was completely naked was something she had forcefully suppressed in her heart. But without a landmark, although they wouldnât be trapped here forever, the prolonged mental torment would definitely lead to trouble.
For Teng Lang, Guan Guan, and Xiao Tong, such an experience would be a rare and exciting one, full of allure and stimulation. However, when such a thing happened to two extremely determined individuals, it was not a cause for excitement, but a struggle between their rationality.
This rational struggle would inevitably grow more intense as they failed to find their way back and time passed.
(Todayâs second chapter~~~~ Well, after experiencing a long road of nearly 3 million characters, Chu Mu finally encounters a few tens of thousands of words of a romantic adventure. More leveling up, battling monsters, and having exciting adventures, itâs time to have some of these clichĂ© yet refreshing stories.
