Looking at the Ice Heart Valley shrouded in a snowstorm, Ye Feng saw the clue. This was a large ice and snow formation that gathered the energy of ice and snow between heaven and earth to form a protective shield to prevent outsiders from entering.
He was about to stop Mo Lingshan from entering Bingxin Valley, but it was too late.
Mo Lingshan was anxious to enter Bingxin Valley, so she gathered all her strength and rushed towards the valley entrance.
Just as she was about two meters away from the valley entrance, she heard a howling wind. A bone-chilling cold current blew out from the valley, blowing Mo Lingshan into the air.
Ye Feng quickly reached out to catch Mo Lingshan, only to see that she was shivering from the cold, with a thin layer of ice on her body. The chill in this cold current was enough to freeze anything into ice.
A warm current flowed through Mo Lingshan's body, melting the thin ice on her body.
Mo Lingshan hugged Ye Feng tightly, feeling that Ye Feng was a big heater, making her feel warm.
"What's going on? I can't get in."
"This is a large ice and snow formation. The Ice Heart Valley has been sealed off. You can't just enter it casually."
"How could this happen? I come here once or twice a year and have never seen anything like this."
"I don't know what it was like when you came here before, but now, Bingxin Valley is surrounded by a large ice and snow formation. There is a possibility that a powerful enemy has invaded, and your grandmother activated the ice and snow formation for defense."
Mo Lingshan looked anxious, unable to imagine what kind of powerful enemy her grandmother would encounter.
"My grandmother and my great grandfather are both ancient warriors at the middle stage of the Xiantian realm. My uncle is also a weapon refiner. Who would be strong enough for them to activate the ice and snow formation?"
Ye Feng shrugged: "I'll take you in and you'll understand."
Mo Lingshan showed a hint of joy: "Can you take me in? I feel like I've been in forever."
"Any formation has different strengths. The blizzard and cold current that just came from the north has increased the power of this ice formation. However, for me, getting in is still a piece of cake."
Seeing Ye Feng's smug look, Mo Lingshan thought that Ye Feng was bragging.
"This is a great formation of ice and snow. You can't just break in with a flying sword. I didn't ask you to force your way into the great formation of ice and snow. If you are sure you can get in, go ahead. Don't hurt yourself and don't blame me again."
"You little girl, you are judging a gentleman by your own mean heart."
Mo Lingshan couldn't help but laugh: "Tell me, how can you be called a gentleman?"
"I won't say anything else, just the same, you stood naked in front of me last night and in the early hours of this morning, did I do anything to you?"
When Ye Feng mentioned that incident, Mo Lingshan's face immediately turned red, and she said coquettishly, "Don't mention that incident. Okay, even if you are a gentleman."
Ye Feng's thoughts extended to the ice and snow formation, sensing all kinds of force fields and energies.
Referring to the secret formation techniques left by Master Tianzhen, and analyzing from the angle and direction of the cold current, this should be a Nine Palaces Ice and Snow Formation.
There are eight gates and the central palace in total, namely Kaimen, Xiumen, Shengmen, Shangmen, Dumen, Jingmen, Simen and Jingmen. Only one Shengmen can be entered.
Anyone who tries to break into the other seven gates will be hit by a cold wave and frozen into ice.
Moreover, he also discovered that the gate of life was not fixed, but would move in a cycle according to the changes in time, which made it more difficult to enter the ice and snow formation.
Ye Feng tried seven directions, but was repelled by the violent cold currents. At the eighth direction, Ye Feng held Mo Lingshan's hand, feeling her soft and cold hand, and jumped suddenly into the violent snowstorm.
Suddenly, the stars moved, the scenery changed, and they came to a quiet and peaceful valley. Ye Feng smiled and said to Mo Lingshan: "How about it, I'm not bragging, we are here now."
Inside the valley and outside the valley are two different worlds.
In the valley, everything was calm, but behind him, the wind was howling, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a cold current was raging.
Ye Feng suddenly had a bad feeling that this ice and snow formation was actually bidirectional.
Generally, the purpose of barrier formations is to protect people inside the formation from harm and prevent others from entering. For example, the large array of thoughts laid down by the man-eating vines is to prevent others from entering its cave.
Some formations are designed to prevent others from coming out of the formation, such as the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams formation set up by Yue Zhuoqun at the foot of Mount Hua.
However, the Nine Palaces Wind and Snow Formation in the Ice Heart Valley is two-way, not only preventing others from coming in, but also preventing others from leaving.
They did enter the formation, but Mo Lingshan became even more anxious and tears came out.
The valley was in a mess, with huge rocks everywhere, which looked like they had fallen from the top of the mountain. The two villas in the valley were smashed into pieces, and many pieces of furniture were scattered among the rocks.
Looking at the ruins, one really worries about the safety of the people in the house.
Ye Feng's mind quickly penetrated into the ruined villa, but found no signs of people or blood. It seemed that there was no one inside when the villa was smashed.
Ye Feng smelled a mess of medicinal fragrance and followed the scent. After seeing clearly, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
A glass greenhouse built of glass and fine steel, wide and tall, with a variety of herbs planted inside, including precious medicinal materials.
But now it has been smashed into pieces by huge rocks, and many precious medicinal herbs have broken roots and stems and are rotting in the soil.
There are many medicinal herbs that Ye Feng knows that can be used to refine the Heyi Pill. These medicinal herbs that have rotted in the soil can be used to refine at least three Heyi Pills. It is such a waste of resources.
Ye Feng sighed lightly, thinking that if only he had come earlier and picked these herbs earlier.
Mo Lingshan anxiously shouted everywhere in the rubble of the villa: "Grandma, Grandma, Uncle, Second Mother?"
Ye Feng reminded: "There is no one in there, your grandma is not in there."
Knowing that Ye Feng was very capable, if he said there was no one inside, then there should be no one inside. Mo Lingshan gave Ye Feng a grateful glance.
Grandma is not in the smashed villa, that’s good, it means she is still alive.
Suddenly, a faint voice came from a stone wall: "Is that Lingshan? Why are you here? You little girl, there is a blizzard outside, why are you running to my place instead of staying in Fangcun Mountain?"
Mo Lingshan recognized her grandmother's voice and ran over in surprise. There was only a piece of cold and hard rock, but no one was in sight. She could only shout, "It wasn't snowing when I came. I missed you, Grandma."
Mo Lingshan's eyes turned red with anxiety, and she couldn't help crying: "Grandma, where are you?"
Ye Feng discovered that the sound came from a pile of rocks.
There was a small dark hole in the pile of rocks, with light coming out from time to time. Mo Lingshan's grandmother spoke from that small hole.
Ye Feng comforted Mo Lingshan: "Don't cry, your grandma may be in this cave."
