"Sister, let's go!" Xing Chen looked at the departing Mo Feiyu and Ouyang Zhenhai, forcing a smile as he spoke.
These two Rascals were too impatient, not even waiting for Xueqing to finish her words before rushing out.
"Let's go. If we don't catch up to them, they might get into trouble," Xueqing nodded, and with a graceful movement, her figure vanished in an instant.
Xing Chen and Xue also disappeared into the void at the same time.
Far over a hundred thousand miles away at the Vast Ice Mountain, countless powerful beings surrounded the ice mountain. Among them, the weakest were Observers of the Realm, and those who had previously hunted Xing Chen and Xueqing, including the Demon Dragon, were also present.
They had originally been pursuing Xing Chen and Xueqing out of Lianyao Tower, but returning empty-handed was clearly not an option. Therefore, the Demon Dragon led other disciples to the seventh floor of Lianyao Tower, where Xueqing had emerged heavily injured.
Here they discovered the wounded Demon Emperor Level Beast and launched an assault on it. However, due to the beast's overwhelming strength, their attempts to subdue it yielded little progress despite several rounds of engagement.
It wasn't entirely without progress; at least they had worsened the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor's injuries. However, just as they planned to continue wearing it down, many strong individuals with Gaze of Fate and Gaze into Fate arrived, causing the Demon Dragon and others to become tense.
After all, with so many people arriving, even if they managed to kill the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor in the end, it would surely benefit these newcomers. Thus, the Demon Dragon and others ceased their attacks on the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor.
The other individuals who arrived also hesitated to attack easily upon seeing that the Demon Dragon and others were reluctant to engage for fear of letting them reap the rewards.
The Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor, surrounded by so many powerful foes, also dared not heal itself easily. Thus, both sides continued to wear each other down for over ten rounds, during which the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor's injuries became even more severe.
"Everyone, continuing like this is not a solution. The Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor must be killed. Why don't we eliminate it now?" A strong individual from Gaze of Fate stepped forward at the foot of the mountain.
"That sounds nice, but who can guarantee that I will get any benefits in the end? If I don't gain anything, why should I take action?"
"Exactly! With so many people here, what if someone tries to ambush me afterward?"
"Feel free to take action yourself; we absolutely won't stop you. However, if you want us to join you, that's something we will definitely not do."
As soon as the words of the Soul-Searching Realm Expert fell, they immediately sparked countless reactions.
However, most of them were opposing his statement. After all, under the premise of not guaranteeing one's own interests, no fool would take action, as it could very well lead to a futile effort where they ended up with nothing.
The Demon Dragon and his group had been watching coldly from the sidelines, showing no intention of intervening.
At that moment, the space rippled slightly, and Ouyang Zhenhai and Mo Feiyu appeared here. Shortly after, Xing Chen and Xueqing also showed up one after another.
Once they arrived and saw the hundreds of figures below, they were momentarily stunned. What was going on that so many people were standing around without attacking the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor?
"The Wind Sect people are here too; things are getting lively!" A mid-stage Gaze of Fate expert sneered upon seeing Xing Chen and the others.
"Xueqing..." The Demon Dragon's gaze flickered as he looked at Xing Chen and the others, but his attention was still on Xueqing.
Seeing Xueqing standing next to Xing Chen ignited flames of anger in his eyes. However, he managed to control himself well; he knew this was not the time for fighting because his ultimate goal was the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor.
"Brother Mo, Brother Ouyang, I didn't expect both of you to be here too!" At that moment, a Late Stage of the Fate Observation Realm expert approached and smiled at Mo Feiyu and Ouyang Zhenhai.
"A severely injured Demon Emperor Level Beast is rare; we naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity," Mo Feiyu replied.
The person in front of them was named Zhang Yun, a disciple of Fire Line, with immense strength. Even now, Mo Feiyu did not dare to assume he could defeat him alone.
"Haha, just as Brother Mo said, I also don't want to miss this chance!" Zhang Yun said with a smile. He was unaware that his knowledge of a severely injured Demon Emperor Level Beast being here was entirely due to information deliberately spread by Mo Feiyu.
"Brother Zhang, what’s going on? Why is everyone standing still without anyone willing to attack the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor?" Ouyang Zhenhai asked in confusion.
"Because there are too many people, no one dares to attack the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor. Everyone is afraid that if they kill the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor, the benefits will be taken by others, which has led to the current stalemate," Zhang Yun said with a bitter smile.
"Is that so? Are you all planning to just drag this out indefinitely?" Ouyang Zhenhai asked.
"Well... we've already been at it for so long, what's a little longer?" Zhang Yun shrugged.
His words made Xing Chen furrow his brows tightly. After all, while they could afford to wait, he could not. He still needed to search for the Hate Emperor's Inheritance in the Hate Sea Region, improve his strength, and seize the Underworld Blood Fruit from the Underworld Palace. All these tasks had to be completed within a year, so every moment was exceptionally precious for Xing Chen.
"Xing Chen, don't act impulsively. This is not the time to make a move. If you act on your own, you might get surrounded by these people," Xueqing glanced at Xing Chen and immediately understood what he was thinking. She quickly grabbed his hand and spoke softly.
"Alright! I will try my best not to act, but if after a while there is still no result, then I will have to leave because I cannot afford to waste time here," Xing Chen said with a frown.
Then, the few of them landed on the ground simultaneously with Zhang Yun, their gazes fixed on the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor's dwelling atop the ice mountain.
At that moment, the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor was covered in translucent white feathers like crystal, now stained with blood and charred marks from previous battles with the Demon Dragon and others.
Of course, he had already sustained serious injuries before fighting the Demon Dragon; otherwise, he wouldn't have been beaten down like this.
The Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor was now staring intently at Xing Chen and the others below, not daring to relax for even a moment. After all, he was severely injured and had to keep a close watch on Xing Chen and his companions; otherwise, he could suffer a fatal blow if he let his guard down.
"This Demon Emperor is so injured that he can't even maintain his human form. With so many people wanting to kill him, it shouldn't be difficult. But because these people are not united and distrust each other, it has dragged on for so long," the Hate Emperor spoke in Xing Chen's mind.
"Exactly, Hate Emperor. Why don't you take action again and directly eliminate that Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor? Then wipe out everyone here," Xing Chen nodded and suggested.
"Damn it, why do you always want me to take action?" the Hate Emperor cursed and continued, "I can indeed wipe them all out if I act, but if you keep relying on me like this, how will you break through your realm and reach the Spirit Void Realm within a year?"
"The process doesn't matter much to me; what matters is the result. As long as I kill that Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor and eliminate everyone here, I can use the power of the Ice Sculpture Demon's Demon Core to break through to Glimpse of Objects. Then I can accept your Inheritance. Even if I don't reach Spirit Void Realm by then, I can at least reach Peak of Fate Observation Realm. With my strength at that time, contending against a Divine Lord in Spirit Void Realm wouldn't be impossible," Xing Chen said calmly.
"You have a beautiful idea, but I will not take action. My Soul Power is hard-earned, and I cannot waste it so carelessly," said the Hate Emperor.
"If you take the soul of the ice sculpture afterward, won't you be able to recover the lost soul?" Xing Chen said with a flicker in his eyes.
"No, no, you must understand that what I am doing is actually for your own good. Only by doing this can your strength grow rapidly. If you keep relying on me, even if you reach the Spirit Void Realm in a year, it would take you ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years to achieve it," Hate Emperor firmly refused.
"Alright then, I won't trouble you anymore. I'll handle this myself!" Xing Chen said, as the Demonic Aura within him stirred slightly, and two flames of Demonic Flame suddenly appeared in his eyes.
But just as he was about to use the Hate Demon Eye to attack the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor, Xueqing tightened her grip on his hand and looked at him, saying, "Junior Brother, don't be impulsive. Now is not the time to act. The best opportunity will come when these people are in chaos."
"Senior Sister, I really can't wait any longer. Even if I have time to wait, Meng Xin'er cannot afford to wait!" Xing Chen gritted his teeth, and the Demonic Flame in his eyes flickered more violently.
"Junior Brother, trust me. This place will soon be in chaos, and then you will definitely have your chance," Xueqing said anxiously. She was genuinely afraid that Xing Chen would act at this moment; if that happened, he would instantly become the target of everyone.
"I believe you, Senior Sister." After a moment of silence, the black Demonic Flame in Xing Chen's eyes slowly extinguished, and at that same moment, Xueqing let out a sigh of relief.
"Senior Brother, we can't keep dragging this out. We need to make these people chaotic quickly so we can take advantage of the situation to kill the Ice Sculpture Demon Emperor and gain benefits," Xueqing said while looking at Mo Feiyu and Ouyang Zhenhai.
"But how can we create chaos here?" Mo Feiyu looked at Xueqing with a puzzled expression. He also didn't want to continue waiting but had no better plan, so he had no choice but to wait.
