"Junior Sister!"
Seeing this, Su Yan's eyes reddened with anger. He summoned dozens of his spirit beasts and rushed to Chu Lingwei's side.
"Third Senior Brother."
Chu Lingwei's eyes flickered with joy when she saw Su Yan appear before her. She could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Don't be afraid, we're here."
Su Yan protected Chu Lingwei behind him, and dozens of high-level spirit beasts battled the Snow Spirit Beasts, and another slaughter began.
Leng Xingzhi's eyes were filled with coldness. Dare to trap Weiwei here, none of them would be allowed to leave.
Chu Lingwei felt a killing intent brush past her ear, and the Snow Spirit Beast in front of her instantly turned into blood.
A white figure swept forward. Wherever the white figure passed, large numbers of Snow Spirit Beasts fell.
"Eldest Senior Brother!" Kuai Shu Ge
Chu Lingwei wanted to step forward to stop him. Using spiritual power like this made her very worried about the shackles within his body.
"Junior Sister, if these Snow Spirit Beasts are not eliminated, we cannot escape." The Snow Spirit Beasts of the entire Ice Extremity Cliff had gathered here. They seemed to have received an order and were specifically surrounding Chu Lingwei.
"I'm worried..."
"It's alright, no one dares to challenge our Cultivation Academy." Su Yan waved his hand, and the Snow Spirit Beasts attacking them were sent far away. Even if they displayed their true strength, those watching could only hide their shock in their hearts.
Liu Yao was not as fast as Leng Xingzhi. By the time he arrived, he only knew that Chu Lingwei was trapped and could not escape.
A large number of Snow Spirit Beasts blocked his path. Liu Yao was anxious and could only kill the Snow Spirit Beasts in front of him first.
Meanwhile.
Mei Ji discovered a cave hidden by glaciers, and a glint of joy flashed in her eyes. There must be something here.
She released her newly contracted seventh-tier Snow Spirit Beast from her spirit beast pouch. "Let's go in and take a look..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw her seventh-tier Snow Spirit Beast let out a cry. Mei Ji felt a pain in her chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Snow Spirit Beast!" Mei Ji cried out, sensing that the contract with her Snow Spirit Beast seemed to be breaking for some reason.
The Snow Spirit Beast heard its master's call, turned its head, and a flicker of struggle flashed in its eyes. Soon, it turned and left.
Mei Ji watched in shock as her spirit beast left her. What was going on? She had signed a master-servant contract with the Snow Spirit Beast. Not only could it leave freely, but it could also cause her to suffer a backlash.
What was wrong with this?
"Snow Spirit Beast, come back here." Mei Ji's eyes turned fierce. Anyone who dared to harm her spirit beast was not worth keeping. She closed her eyes and recited a mantra.
"Puff!"
Another mouthful of blood was spat out, and Mei Ji collapsed to the ground.
"Mei Ji!"
Half an hour later, a figure appeared before Mei Ji and tenderly helped her up, feeding her a drop of millennium spirit milk.
Mei Ji slowly opened her eyes and saw a pair of concerned eyes.
"Why are you here?"
"I came to find you," Mu Shuyang said truthfully. "You are seriously injured. If I hadn't arrived in time, you would likely have been eaten by spirit beasts."
Mei Ji struggled to get up and checked the contract with the seventh-tier Snow Spirit Beast.
"It's still there," Mei Ji murmured to herself. The contract was signed by her, she was the master, and the Snow Spirit Beast was the servant. Why did she suffer a backlash instead?
"Your spirit beast is gone?" Mu Shuyang, who had been half-embracing Mei Ji, explained to her, "All the Snow Spirit Beasts of Ice Extremity Cliff are heading towards the inner area. Something major must have happened there."
"What?!" Mei Ji tried to stand up but fell heavily into Mu Shuyang's arms. The backlash was too strong, and she was severely injured now. "What exactly happened?"
"The Snow Spirit Beasts are attacking a cultivator."
Mu Shuyang stood up and carried Mei Ji onto his spirit sword. "You are seriously injured, we should leave here."
"Why are the Snow Spirit Beasts attacking a cultivator?" Mei Ji became even more curious. This made her think of the rare treasure that appeared in Ice Extremity Cliff. That cultivator must have obtained something important from Ice Extremity Cliff.
"I don't know."
"I hope Weiwei is alright." Mei Ji knew that Chu Lingwei had entered Ice Extremity Cliff again to find her father. Now that the Snow Spirit Beasts were going mad, she hoped she could escape this disaster.
"Her?" A hint of confusion flashed in Mu Shuyang's eyes. "A cultivator's life can be extinguished at any moment."
Mei Ji snorted, "It can be extinguished at any moment, but no one wants to die."
Chu Lingwei relentlessly killed Snow Spirit Beasts. Facing living creatures, she no longer had any emotion, only numbness.
This battle lasted for two days and two nights.
"They're retreating."
Su Yan had been protecting Chu Lingwei. Seeing the Snow Spirit Beasts rushing towards them slowly retreat, he knew that this slaughter was about to end.
"Finally, it's over."
Chu Lingwei let out a sigh of relief, finally able to relax.
Su Yan saw that his junior sister looked exhausted and couldn't help but chuckle, "In fifty years, a beast tide will arrive, and their numbers will be much greater than these Snow Spirit Beasts."
"No matter how many, it will be fifty years from now." Chu Lingwei could visibly see the snow beasts retreating.
"Junior Sister, you go rest, I'll clean up the battlefield." Su Yan looked at the mountain-like corpses of the Snow Spirit Beasts. The Snow Spirit Beast fur was very valuable, and these were also a source of wealth.
Since the Snow Spirit Beasts were already killed, this stuff naturally wouldn't be given to others.
Feng Ming's eyes lit up upon hearing about cleaning up the battlefield. He immediately threw all the Snow Spirit Beast corpses into his storage bag and space.
"Weiwei, are you alright?" Leng Xingzhi came to Chu Lingwei's side and used a purification spell to wash away the bloodstains on her.
"Not good at all." Chu Lingwei shook her head and sat on the ground. Even the air was filled with the smell of blood now. "Why did they attack me?"
Leng Xingzhi placed his hand on Chu Lingwei's shoulder, and spiritual energy flowed through his hand into Chu Lingwei's body.
"No matter the reason, they deserve to die."
Anyone who dared to harm Chu Lingwei would be made to die by Leng Xingzhi.
Chu Lingwei looked up and smiled at her Eldest Senior Brother. "Eldest Senior Brother, guess if I would have survived if you hadn't arrived?"
"Yes."
Their Master had given them all a thousand-mile escape talisman. As long as it was activated, one would instantly be transported thousands of miles away.
Chu Lingwei hadn't used it, which meant she was confident she wouldn't die.
"Eldest Senior Brother, you have great confidence in me." Chu Lingwei smiled. Even with confidence, it didn't stop him from coming to help her.
"Fellow Daoist Chu."
Liu Yao, anxious, arrived before Chu Lingwei. Seeing her sitting safely on the ground, the heavy stone in his heart finally fell. "Fellow Daoist Chu, are you injured?"
Seeing Liu Yao again, Chu Lingwei's suspicion resurfaced. She shook her head, "I don't know."
Leng Xingzhi, hearing his junior sister lie, couldn't help but smile and stood quietly behind her.
"What?" Liu Yao wanted to step forward to examine Chu Lingwei's body but then took a step back after realizing something was amiss.
