After several Nascent Soul Ancestors from the Taiyi Sect entered the gate leading to the secret realm of ice and snow, it was naturally the turn of the Yuqing Sect to be carried to the head of the second-rate sect. Ye Zan and the others were not afraid of Taiyi Zong's actions on the other side of the gate. After all, Taiyi Zong was not so crazy and desperate that they would not take action as soon as they entered for the sake of reputation and face.
Therefore, everyone in the Yuqing Sect did not waste any time, and one by one, under the watchful eyes of the people from the various sects behind them, passed through the ripple-like gate of the secret realm.
Ye Zan stepped through the gate in one step and came to the secret realm of ice and snow. He raised his eyes and looked around. As expected, everything in his sight was a scene of ice and snow. The place where the secret realm door opens is in a small canyon between several icebergs. The surrounding icebergs are like sharp swords thrust into the sky. The cold wind shuttled between the canyons, making a continuous whine and passing over everyone's bodies with an incomparable chill.
"Uncle Master, when I came in, the people from Taiyi Sect had already disappeared. I just don't know if they left first or if we came in from a different position." Qi Qianjun, who was the first to come in, immediately saw Ye Zan coming in. Step forward and report to Ye Zan.
Ye Zan turned his head and looked at the door where everyone came in, but saw that the ripples on the door were gradually calming down. As he looked at it, the location turned into a normal space, and there was no longer any door. Mark of. Ye Zan turned around and smiled at Qianjun and everyone without caring: "Obviously, we have been sent to another location. Please be careful about the surrounding situation. Maybe Taiyi Sect will arrange it for us as soon as it comes. A great gift.”
Are all the teams dispersed to different locations, or is only the Yuqing Sect receiving special treatment? The former possibility is not impossible, but Ye Zan is more inclined to the latter possibility based on his monitoring and understanding of Taiyi Sect. Taiyi Sect changed the Nascent Soul Theory to this secret realm mainly to deal with Yuqing Sect. Instead, other sects were the targets of their wooing. In particular, I heard from the surveillance that the other party wanted people from other sects to do something for them. Naturally, they had to be put together to make use of it.
However, Ye Zan was not surprised or angry about this. Instead, he felt that this arrangement was not bad. There are no other people, there are only Yuqingzong's own people here, so it's easy to use his strange methods.
Of course, other people would not think like Ye Zan. Even though they had known that Taiyi Sect had no good intentions, they would still inevitably feel angry when their suspicions were verified.
"Tai Yi Zong is so shameless, he actually dares to do this!" Jin Dasheng was the first to curse.
"It's unimaginable that an upright and first-class sect doesn't think about how to strengthen itself, but only thinks about suppressing other comrades!" Cheng Liangqi, who was born in the small world of Immortal Palace, although it has been a few years since he came to the Shenhua Realm, after seeing Taiyi After seeing Zong's method, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
However, although Jin Dasheng and the others were cursing, they did not ignore Ye Zan's words. Everyone took out their flying sword magic weapons and gathered around Ye Zan, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
Ye Zan, who was among the crowd, also began to take things out of the Qiankun Ring. Just like the previous exploration of the Xia Shi Secret Realm during the Five Sects' Martial Arts Competition, Ye Zan was fully prepared in advance this time, even if he only had two days of preparation time.
The first is the high-altitude detector.
For exploring unknown areas, especially such mysterious places with limited space, high-altitude detectors can be said to be absolute exploration artifacts.
Because of this exploration, the participants were all Nascent Soul Ancestors, and their perceptual abilities far exceeded those of the Qi Refining disciples from the Xia Shi Secret Realm. Therefore, Ye Zan also installed some camouflage measures on the high-altitude detector to avoid being discovered by others when carrying out activities at high altitude.
Six "invisible" high-altitude detectors were launched one after another and merged into the gray sky in the blink of an eye. Except for one high-altitude detector that stayed above Ye Zan and others, the other five immediately flew towards the surroundings of the secret realm after reaching a safe height.
"Something is coming!"
A high-altitude detector had just been launched on Ye Zan's side, and Qi Qianjun, who was on alert all around, suddenly reminded everyone.
After hearing Qi Qianjun's words, everyone immediately looked in the direction of Qi Qianjun, and saw silver-white figures suddenly emerging from behind an ice peak in the distance over there, rushing toward everyone like lightning.
"Quick!" Qi Qianjun was already prepared. He slapped the bottom of the sword box behind him with his backhand, and suddenly hundreds of flying swords flew out from the sword box. The thousands of flying swords flew into the air and converged into a torrent of flying swords, like a giant python with flying swords as scales, circling in the air to meet the rushing figures.
At this time, the silver-white figures rushing towards them had already revealed their true colors in everyone's sight. They were a group of ice figurines with strong figures and swift movements. These ice figurines are all in the shape of humans, and their entire bodies seem to be made of translucent ice, as if they were carved out of ice. However, their ability to move is not slow at all, as if they were just humans wearing ice armor.
In an instant, Qi Qianjun's hundreds of flying swords collided with those fierce ice warriors who were not afraid of death. Following the continuous "clang" collision sound, countless ice shards instantly rose up and filled the air under the blowing of the cold wind, as if a blizzard suddenly started falling.
However, the scene on Qi Qianjun's side was no longer able to attract everyone's attention, because in all directions facing the others, there were also countless silver-white figures rushing down from the ice peak.
Thousands of troops!
This is really an army of thousands, but they are all ice figurines, not ordinary soldiers.
Although the Yuqing Sect's Nascent Soul Ancestors don't have the kind of military talent in the world, they can still roughly estimate the number of ice figurines rushing towards them at a glance. It can be said that the ice figurines rushing from all directions now, just to say that there are not ten thousand but eight thousand that have appeared in their sight.
More importantly, these ice figurines are not secular soldiers. Each ice figurine possesses considerable power. If it were really placed on a secular battlefield, without the participation of ascetics, these eight thousand ice figurines would probably be enough to kill a million troops.
On Qi Qianjun's side, hundreds of flying swords kept flying through the group of ice figurines, bringing up a piece of ice and snow mist every time. However, the number of ice figurines that were actually killed or destroyed was not as many as people imagined. The ice on these ice figurines is obviously not ice in the ordinary sense. It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that they are as strong as gold and stone. I am afraid that they must at least be the so-called thousand-year-old ice.
For things like ice, this world is also different from the technological world. In the world of science and technology, ice is ice. Even ice that has been standing for ten thousand years can be easily melted away. After melting, it is still just a puddle of water. Therefore, ice in the technological world will not change its properties over time, nor will it gain stronger hardness over time.
But this world is different. Because of the strange power of the avenue, the length of time the ice exists often also means the amount of the power of the avenue contained in it. For example, the Arctic Sword Sect even uses ten thousand years of ice as a material to refine flying swords, and the quality of the refined flying swords is quite high, no worse than metal flying swords. It can be said that in this world, if the ice existed for thousands of years, it would have turned into a substance similar to metal, and it would not be easily melted.
Therefore, if the bodies of these ice figurines are made of thousands of years of ice, it is not surprising that they have such defensive power.
Although Cheng Liangqi and Yang Bufan had left the small world of Immortal Palace for several years, the magic weapon they used was still their usual Coiling Dragon Golden Seal. They saw that the two of them had each used their Coiling Dragon Golden Seal at this time, turned into two hills in mid-air, and smashed down hard towards the incoming ice figurines.
There were two loud "boom" sounds, and there was an obvious tremor on the ground.
However, as the Coiling Dragon Golden Seal flew back into the air, only a few of the ice figurines hit by the golden seal were smashed into ice cubes. As for the remaining ice figurines, although many of them had obvious cracks on their bodies, or had defects of various sizes, they still continued to rush towards this side without being affected.
Jin Dasheng opened the folding fan in his hand with a "swish" sound, held the fan in one hand and fanned it towards the ice figurines rushing towards him in the distance. Suddenly, thousands of wind blades blew out from the fan, converging into a strong wind and blowing towards the ice figurines. Countless wind blades were like saw teeth, cutting deep marks on the ice figurines and raising up the sky full of frost.
Although there are a lot of ice figurines and their defense is very strong, they are not a threat to the ancestors of Nascent Soul. The ancestor of Nascent Soul's magic weapon cannot destroy a large number of ice figurines at once, but if it doesn't work at once, just try again. A few more hits will eventually destroy all the ice figurines.
Soon, the giant python composed of thousands of flying swords flew back to the sword box behind Qi Qianjun. The two Coiling Dragon Gold Seals returned to the size of fists and flew back to the hands of Cheng Liangqi and Yang Bufan, hanging on their palms and spinning around. Jin Dasheng also rubbed his fingers and closed the folding fan, and thousands of wind blades dissipated in the air. Opposite them, there was no longer an ice figurine that could move. There were only shards of ice and frost everywhere, becoming part of this ice valley.
"When did the Taiyi Sect conduct such research on mechanism techniques?" Jin Dasheng said somewhat strangely.
Anyone with eyes can see that those ice figurines are obviously the product of mechanical art. Moreover, although these ice figurines are not very strong, they cannot be created by just learning some mechanism skills. In fact, let alone the Taiyi Sect, which has no inheritance of mechanism techniques, even the Thousand Machines Sect, which is famous for its mechanism techniques, probably does not have the ability to create mechanism beasts from ice.
Jin Dasheng didn't know that Taiyi Sect had not yet completely mastered the secret realm of ice and snow, so he connected the ice figurines with Taiyi Sect.
However, through the monitoring of electronic flies, Ye Zan already knew some things about the Ice and Snow Secret Realm from the conversations between Qianmu Zhenjun and others. Therefore, the first moment he saw the ice figurines, what Ye Zan thought of was not the Taiyi Sect, but the Taoist Baiji who left the mechanism beast in the Xia Shi Secret Realm.
Of course, comparing the two, the batch of ice figurines that just appeared, although they were quickly destroyed by everyone, were many times stronger than the machine beasts in the Xia Shi Secret Realm. Therefore, Ye Zan is still not sure whether these ice figurines were made by Taoist Baiji, and Qianmu Zhenjun and the others did not mention any information related to Taoist Baiji.
"These ice figurines are not the work of Taiyi Sect. In fact, Taiyi Sect's control of this secret realm is not much better than ours." Ye Zan said to Jin Dasheng and others after seeing the remains of an ice figurine.
"What? Could it be that they haven't refined this secret realm yet?" Jin Dasheng asked in surprise.
And not only Jin Dasheng, but also several other people were quite surprised when they heard Ye Zan's words.
After all, according to common sense, since Taiyi Sect dares to use this secret realm to arrange all this, it must have absolute control over the secret realm. Otherwise, if they use the secret realm as a reward for Nascent Soul's Taoism, how can they ensure that the secret realm will not fall into the hands of others? They use the secret realm as their home ground to deal with these people from the Yuqing Sect, so how can they ensure that they are confident enough
"Judging from the information I got, it is indeed the case." Ye Zan nodded, and then said: "However, judging from the fact that they can open the door to the secret realm at will and control the entry position, they don't know much about this secret realm. It’s not like there’s no control at all.”
After all, this secret realm of ice and snow has been in the hands of Taiyi Sect for who knows how many years. Although Taiyi Sect has not completely refined it over the years, there must still be some research gains. Ye Zan's last words also reminded everyone not to underestimate the enemy and not to think that Taiyizong is really on the same starting line as everyone.
"Tai Yi Zong is really willing to spend money!" Jin Dasheng sighed with a sneer.
"In other words, they don't take us seriously. However, this is actually a good thing for us." Yang Bufan continued what Jin Dasheng said.
"No matter what, let's go over there and see what gifts Taiyi Sect has prepared for us." Ye Zan pointed in one direction and said to everyone.
During this period of time, the high-altitude detectors launched had completed scanning the terrain of the secret land and sent the results back to Ye Zan. Just like in the Xia Shi Secret Realm, the auxiliary chip in Ye Zan's head has generated a very detailed 3D terrain map based on the information transmitted back. The entire secret realm no longer has any secrets for him.
