Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 511 – Lair

If the Ice Fox really had to hide, it would be extremely difficult for even the Adept Realm Cultivator to discover him. Thus, even though the Adept Realm Cultivator knew that every single Ice Fox in the Northern Frozen Plains meant a small treasure, they would often come back empty-handed after spending a large amount of time.

However, it could be said that their luck was extremely good, because not only did they hide Yang Junshan among them, their divine ability and methods could be said to be extremely effective in suppressing the Ice Fox.

If not for Yang Junshan’s spiritual awareness being much sharper than cultivators of the same level, he wouldn’t have been able to discover the tracks of the Ice Fox. Furthermore, after the Ice Fox launched his sneak attack, he was always able to accurately block the attacks of the Ice Fox.

Furthermore, Yang Junshan also had the magnetic light, which could suppress the speed of Ice Fox in an instant. However, the current Yang Junshan was not willing to reveal his cultivation, so he was unable to display the greatest of power in the magnetic light.

As long as he could control the tracks of the Ice Fox at any time, Yang Junshan did not need to use too many methods to kill the Ice Fox.

Just when the three of them had agreed to kill the Ice Fox, they had pretended to drop their guard and lure the Ice Fox to attack. In fact, Yang Junshan had long discovered where the Ice Fox was hiding.

Yang Junshan raised his head to look at the gloomy sky above him. After the cold wave had passed through, the sky above the ice plains had always been as gloomy as dusk, and one could faintly see thick gray clouds piled up above.

However, the strangest thing was here. Even though the sky was dark, the snow on the ice plains still reflected a faint white light. The cultivators of the Ning Family were completely focused on the movements on the snow, and as time passed, their eyes became tired. Just as a cultivator was about to be hit by a tiny white light, a loud shout suddenly rang in his ears, “Be careful!”

“It’s over!” The Ning Family cultivators’ minds instantly went blank.

However, the crisp sound of metal clanging rang out followed by a hoarse chirp. It was only at this moment that this Ning Family cultivator finally regained his senses. He actually did not die!

In the nick of time, Yang Junshan used the mountain guarding spirit technique to block the Ice Fox’s sneak attack. After that, when the Ice Fox missed his target and turned around to dodge, a yellow light curtain had already shone out, covering an area of several tens of meters.

Ice Fox felt as if he had fallen into a quagmire. Although his speed was still there, he felt that he was a lot slower and harder to control.

“Now is the time!” Yang Junshan shouted.

Old Patriarch Ning and Ning Hanwu moved at the same time. First, a tornado suddenly appeared in front of Ice Fox, and the Ice Fox who had just managed to break out of the encirclement with difficulty stepped into it, causing his entire body to spin on the ground, but with a shake of his thick and fluffy tail, the tornado collapsed.

However, immediately after, the snow on the ground suddenly condensed, freezing Ice Fox who was just about to escape, but he was a fairy from the extreme north ice plains, and he had a natural resistance towards ice attribute abilities. The ice and snow had just frozen its four limbs, and with another swing of his tail, the snow and ice that had just disappeared, suddenly became loose again, and Ice Fox was able to escape easily.

Even though Patriarch Ning and Ning Hanwu had joined hands to trap the Ice Fox for only an instant, that one moment was enough for Yang Junshan.

The Mountain Monarch Seal suddenly flew over Yang Junshan’s head and floated in the air above the Ice Fox. The originally thirty meter radius it covered was suddenly reduced and at the same time, the scattered energy of the magnetic light converged.

Seeing the Ice Fox’s most fearsome speed being completely suppressed by Yang Junshan, Ning Hanwu and Elder Ning were immediately overjoyed, but the two of them did not see the seal left on Yang Junshan’s face.

Although Yang Junshan valued the Ice Fox extremely highly, he did not expect that the magnetic light, which he should have been able to suppress, would not have played its due role. If not for Yang Junshan’s timely reaction, and the fact that he had secretly activated a part of the Overcast to confuse the technique and suppress the Ice Fox to the point where he could not move, the hidden would have truly been humiliated.

“I’m frozen!”

Ning Hanwu screamed loudly, a light flashed in his hand and a magical equipment flew out, directly hitting Ice Fox’s head, causing blood to splash out. This Ice Fox whose tail was only one chi long immediately died.

Ning Hanwu did not dare to be negligent. He took out a jade bottle and collected all the blood from Ice Fox’s body, then distributed it to the disciples below the middle stage of the martial arts realm. After seeing them drink the Ice Fox’s blood, his shivering body calmed down, and his complexion turned rosy.

Yang Junshan, on the other hand, watched Ning Hanwu dispose of the Ice Fox’s corpse without saying a word. It was only when Ning Hanwu removed the Ice Fox’s skin from the corpse and was about to throw it to a member of the younger generation, who had been trying to improve his martial arts realm the shortest amount of time, did he get a cough from Old Patriarch Ning, and said, “Hanwu, this piece of Ice Fox’s skin belongs to the Taoist Little Yang.”

Ning Hanwu was startled, he looked at the piece of Ice Fox’s skin in his hand, obviously unwilling to part, but Clan Leader Ning had already pulled it away from his hand, and laughed: “Being able to kill the Ice Fox this time is the first achievement, Ice Fox is full of treasures, but the most valuable thing is still this piece of skin.”

Ning Hanwu’s lips moved, although he was still reluctant, but he did not object, after all, Yang Junshan’s role in capturing Ice Fox was obvious to all.

Patriarch Ning passed the Ice Fox’s Skin to Yang Junshan and continued, “Taoist Little Yang should not underestimate this piece of Ice Fox’s Skin. If a mature Ice Fox’s Skin is handed over to the Snow Wind Sword Sect, it would at least be able to be exchanged foiece of low-grade Dharma clothing.”

This time, Yang Junshan’s face revealed a look of shock, and said: Dharma robes? Just this piece of the Ice Fox skin can be exchanged foiece of magic clothing? ”

There waint of disbelief in his tone as he said: “Although this Ice Fox is hard to capture, but if a cultivator is willing to waste his time, I presume he should still be able to capture it right?”

Just one piece of the Ice Fox’s skin was enough to exchange for one set of robes. If the few cultivators were to capture seven or eight of each, no matter how rich and imposing Snow Wind Sword Sect was, he might not be able to purchase over ten sets of robes in one go.

“There are actually very few Ice Fox s on the ice plains. In addition to that, it is extremely difficult to find and capture them, and in fact, every time when the cold wave of the ice plains approaches, among the hundreds of cultivators charging in, being able to capture a few dozen Ice Fox s can already be considered aare harvest, and the number of Ice Fox s that can land in the hands of these Snow Wind Sword Sect s can only be considered a third of the total number.

After Yang Junshan heard this, he nodded his head suddenly, but Patriarch Ning saw that he was not dissatisfied with the previous matter of the Ice Fox’s skin, so he laughed: “Alright, since the Ice Fox has already been killed, the next step is to find its nest, every nest of the Ice Fox can be considered to be a small treasure trove.”

When Ning Hanwu and the others heard this, their spirits were also lifted, “I hope I can find a few Aurora stones, but Ice Stones are not bad too. If I can find some Ice Jade, it would be even better!”

“Haha, that’s right, that’s right, compared to the Aurora Stone, however, I would rather like to find a few Frozen Ice Stones, and the best would bundred year Frozen Ice Stone. That way, after Brother Wu steps into the realms of life, you don’t need to worry about Spirit Treasures anymore!”

One of the Ning Family cultivators laughed upon hearing that, “Ice Stone, and a hundred years old Ice Stone? We are actually still at the periphery of the ice plains, and even if we are in the depths of the ice plains, that thing would still depend on luck.

“Seriously, I can’t even think about it …”

Even though everyone knew that the den was in the vicinity of this area, and the eleven Martial Realm Cultivator s split up to search for it, they did not manage to find anything even after half a day.

“I heard from some people that the Ice Fox’s lair is usually even harder to find than the Ice Fox’s. Usually, the Ice Fox would be discovered after being shocked, but the lair should be nearby, yet I was unable to find it.”

Seeing that the Ning Family cultivators were in high spirits at first, but now, they looked dejected, Yang Junshan could not help but mutter to himself, could it be that the Ice Fox’s lair was not here?

Yang Junshan helplessly crossed his waist, and unknowingly touched the ice stone bottle on his waist. The bone-piercing cold feeling made him quickly withdraw his hand, but after that, he softly exclaimed, “Eh?! If the stone bottle was truly that cold, he would have felt it a long time ago, but his own waist clearly did not feel the cold!

Yang Junshan held onto the stone bottle again, only then did he feel that it was not as if the entire stone bottle had turned cold, but rather that it was just a small part of the stone bottle that had suddenly turned cold.

This was obviously the work of the thousand-year-old ice silkworm, but why was it doing this?

Yang Junshan paced back and forth on the ice plains, making it seem as if he was anxious to not be able to find his lair. Seeing that, Elder Ning consoled him, “Taoist Little Yang doesn’t have to be disappointed, it’s not uncommon to see someone who has never found their lair after killing Ice Fox …”

But Yang Junshan suddenly raised his head and said: “Crack, have you tried to find the crack on the ice cliff?”

“Crack?” Why would Ice Fox place the lair … ”

Ning Hanwu said half of his sentence and suddenly said, “It seems like there is only one crack on the left side of the iceberg!”

“Which way?” Yang Junshan asked.

Ning Hanwu pointed to the northwest, where a look of pleasant surprise flashed across Yang Junshan’s face, and he immediately headed in that direction, “Come, let’s go take a look!”

After a short while, Yang Junshan, Patriarch Ning, and Ning Hanwu finally cut open a tunnel in the ice cliff. At the bottom of the ice cliff, a cave that was aimed inside the ice cliff appeared in front of the three of them.
