Chapter 1045: Chapter 1045 Duel Letter
"Ling Feng, what kind of map is this!" Mu Ziyi curiously gazed at the ancient map in Ling Fengās hand and couldnāt help but ask, "Did you fight that guy just for this map?"
Ling Feng chuckled, "Of course, donāt underestimate this map. It might contain an earth-shattering secret! It could even be the treasure of the Queen Mother of the West!"
"Keep dreaming, treasure of the Queen Mother of the West!" Mu Ziyi said disdainfully, "Can you be more mature? There is no such thing as the Queen Mother of the West in this world!"
Ling Feng shrugged, "You never know. Anyway, this map originally belongs to Huaxia, so taking it from him is like returning it to its rightful owner!"
Although this map was old, the text and patterns on it were very clear, and the material was quite peculiar, unlike any animal skin Ling Feng knew of.
"Ziyi, take a look at this map. Youāre very familiar with Mount Kunlun, right? Can you see anything?" Ling Feng handed the map to Mu Ziyi.
Although Mu Ziyi thought Ling Feng was being childish, she took the map and examined it seriously.
"Are you sure this is a map of Mount Kunlun?" After looking at it for a long time, Mu Ziyi raised her head suspiciously, "Why donāt I see any familiar mountains? The symbols on the map have nothing in common with Mount Kunlun. Ling Feng, youāve been fooled!"
Ling Feng frowned, "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Mu Ziyi tossed the map into Ling Fengās arms, "Alright, letās get back to business. If we donāt hurry, weāll end up sleeping in the wild again. I really donāt want to freeze in this cold weather."
Ling Feng sighed, it seemed the value of this map was indeed hard to determine! If it wasnāt real, why did they treasure it so much? And what were those relics they mentioned?
Though Mu Ziyi dismissed it, Ling Feng still felt there was something hidden in this map! He took a glance at the map, memorized its topography, and tucked it into his chest.
"Letās move quickly and hope we can reach Jade Pool Sacred Land soon!" Ling Feng said.
Although both of them were highly skilled and fast, the higher they went, the denser the snow, and the more difficult the path became! Coupled with the thin air and biting cold wind, even Ling Feng had to be cautious to prevent injury from a fall!
Despite the strength of the Demi-God Domain, they were not gods, and the dangers of nature required respect and vigilance!
Compared to Ling Feng, Mu Ziyiās speed was slower.
By the time night fell, they hadnāt reached the Turquoise Pool.
"Looks like weāll have to brave the cold wind here!" Ling Feng said helplessly.
However, Mu Ziyi showed a smug expression, "Donāt worry, we wonāt have to brave the cold wind!"
She pointed ahead, "Do you know why I led you this way? Because thereās an ice cave, which we discovered during our cultivation. As long as we go in, weāll have a place for the night!"
Ling Feng was surprised; it seemed Mu Ziyi was quite familiar with this area, even having a secret base!
Soon, they found the ice cave, and Mu Ziyi led Ling Feng inside. Once in, Ling Feng discovered it was indeed a hidden sanctuary!
Stone tables and chairs, stone pots and bowls, and even some frozen meat hanging on the Ice Wall.
"You really have everything here!" Ling Feng couldnāt help but laugh, "How long did you live here?"
"Over six months back then!" Mu Ziyi skillfully dug out several bottles and jars from under the stone table, "Iām starving, letās cook and eat!"
"You donāt have firewood here, do you?" Ling Feng looked around but didnāt see any traces of firewood.
Mu Ziyi chuckled, "Iāve provided the meat, shouldnāt you provide the fire? I know you can start a fire!"
Seeing Mu Ziyiās appeasing look, Ling Feng couldnāt even get mad. Only Mu Ziyi would treat a Demi-God Domain expert like a gas stove!
But seeing her "flattering" expression, Ling Feng snapped his fingers, and a flame appeared beneath the stone pot.
Mu Ziyi grabbed the big piece of frozen meat, cut it into chunks with her sharp Longsword, tossed it into the pot, and fiddled with her jars, occasionally adding spices to the pot.
"Alright, in half an hour, weāll be enjoying some hot meat soup!" Mu Ziyi clapped her hands.
"Ling Feng, what exactly do you want to do coming to Mount Kunlun this time!" Mu Ziyi asked out of boredom.
Ling Feng looked at Mu Ziyi with a half-smile, "If you want to know why Iām here, shouldnāt you confess your purpose here first?"
Mu Ziyiās eyes flashed with alarm, "Didnāt I tell you Iām here for Refining Heart? My realm is unstable, so I need..."
"Keep making it up!" Ling Feng chuckled, "Mu Ziyi, although your Sword Intent was fierce, it showed no signs of dispersing, meaning your control over Sword Intent is solid! Your talk of refining heart is just an excuse!"
Mu Ziyiās expression changed, "How... how do you know?"
"Iām from the Demi-God Domain; do you think you can hide it from me?" Ling Feng laughed, "If Iām not mistaken, you need me in Mount Kunlun to help you with something, right? Otherwise, you wouldnāt have traveled all this way with me to Mount Kunlun! Out with it, we are friends after all, and whatever I can assist you with, I will!"
Mu Ziyi bit her lip in frustration, "Ling Feng, donāt be so clever, can you? It feels like youāve seen through all my thoughts!"
After pausing, Mu Ziyi smiled bitterly, "Yes, I do have something to ask for! I went to the Dragon Group previously because of this!"
"Whatās the matter?" Ling Feng asked.
"Itās about my master, the old man!" Mu Ziyi sighed, "My master is called Gu Feng, an Honorary Elder of the Dragon Group, but he doesnāt like mundane worldly matters, preferring to live reclusively in the mountains. I have always been cultivating in the mountains with him!"
"Recently, I discovered my master received a letter, and after receiving it, he looked troubled. It was the first time I saw him with such a serious expression!" Mu Ziyi said solemnly, "Out of curiosity, I took a peek at the letter when he wasnāt looking."
"What did the letter say?"
"It was a duel challenge letter!" Mu Ziyi said solemnly, "From a Siberian expert named Siberian Wolf King!"
