Chapter 135: Transmigration in the Snow Region (IV)

Their formation was faintly disordered, clearly struggling to defend under the pressure of the Yao Beasts.

Lin Chen frowned slightly, looking at the Yao Beasts entrenched ahead. Their massive figures loomed in the snow, appearing and disappearing like an insurmountable barrier.

"As expected, the Yao Beasts have surrounded us very tightly. It won't be easy to make a Breakthrough," Lin Chen said in a low voice.

Su Wanqing's smile remained, and she said with a touch of apology, "Sister Lin Chen, the current situation is not optimistic. Please put in some extra effort."

Lin Chen nodded, then waved her hand to direct her team, preparing to coordinate with the Tianji Pavilion team to jointly resist the siege of the Yao Beasts.

However, just at this moment, she suddenly sensed another familiar fluctuation of spiritual power, rapidly approaching their direction.

"There are other teams ahead?" Lin Chen felt a slight shock in her heart and raised her eyes to look into the distance.

Sure enough, a snowy white sword light tore through the sky, carrying sharp Sword Qi, and shot straight towards them.

The sword light descended, revealing a graceful woman. She wore a white long dress, with a sword of ice and snow at her waist, looking just like a Fairy in the snow.

She was none other than the Snow Spirit Sword Fairy of the Eastern Region's Yunyin Sword Sect—Mu Xueyan.

Mu Xueyan smiled slightly, her eyes filled with a touch of urgency: "Lin Chen, my team is trapped by the Yao Beasts. Can you give us a hand?"

Behind her, the Disciples of the Yunyin Sword Sect also arrived one after another, with Left Sword Envoy Yun Che and Right Sword Envoy Qi Mo following closely behind.

Their expressions were grave, clearly having consumed quite a bit of spiritual power in the battle against the Yao Beasts.

"Mu Xueyan?" Lin Chen frowned slightly, her heart sinking involuntarily.

She knew that Mu Xueyan appearing at this time was by no means a coincidence, but that she had been lying in ambush in this Snow Region for a long time.

But with Yao Beasts surrounding them, Mu Xueyan had no choice but to join forces with them.

Mu Xueyan landed gracefully in front of Lin Chen, the sword of ice and snow in her hand emitting a faint cold light.

"It seems we are destined to fight side by side on this trip. The Yao Beast siege is too tight; none of our teams can break through alone."

Left Sword Envoy Yun Che and Right Sword Envoy Qi Mo also landed and converged with the team. Left Sword Envoy Yun Che's brows were tightly locked as he looked at the aura of the Yao Beasts ahead and said in a deep voice:

"The strength of the Yao Beasts in this Snow Region exceeds our expectations. If we don't join forces, I fear we will all be trapped and die here."

Lin Chen looked at Mu Xueyan, then at Left Sword Envoy Yun Che and Right Sword Envoy Qi Mo, and nodded gently: "Then let us cooperate. The most important thing right now is to escape safely."

Suddenly, Left Sword Envoy Yun Che caught a glimpse of Meng Li's figure in the crowd, and his heart rate suddenly quickened.

Meng Li had always been a knot in his heart. He knew that Meng Li's heart had never completely belonged to him, yet he still could not suppress that deeply hidden emotion.

His footsteps unconsciously carried him towards Meng Li, his eyes filled with complex emotions, containing both longing and a hint of hesitation.

"Meng Li…" Left Sword Envoy Yun Che called out softly, standing beside her as if afraid to disturb her.

Meng Li turned around, her eyes sweeping over Left Sword Envoy Yun Che with indifference. Her expression remained that cold, inscrutable look, as if in her eyes, Left Sword Envoy Yun Che was nothing more than a passerby.

The two were silent for a moment. Left Sword Envoy Yun Che ultimately could not hold back, his tone mixed with a hint of nervousness:

"I heard you are going to accompany the Xuanyin Qin Sect to the Cliff of Starry Sea. This mission is not light, I… can I accompany you along the way?"

Meng Li's gaze slightly condensed, her expression complex, a flicker of indescribable emotion flashing in the depths of her eyes.

She knew well Left Sword Envoy Yun Che's feelings for her, but ever since Lin Fan fell, her heart had always been empty, as if it could no longer carry new emotions.

"Left Sword Envoy Yun Che, you don't have to be like this. I will walk my own path well,"

Meng Li said softly. Although her voice was calm, it carried a coldness that made it impossible for others to get close.

Left Sword Envoy Yun Che's heart felt as if it had been tightly gripped. He wanted to get close to her, but felt her cold barrier was unbreakable.

He took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Then I will just follow behind you; silently guarding you is fine too."

As soon as these words were spoken, Mu Xueyan, who was standing not far away, saw her expression instantly become complex.

Her hand tightened slightly, her fingertips seemingly touching a cold sword blade.

She liked Left Sword Envoy Yun Che, even though this point had never been explicitly stated.

But at this very moment, seeing him treat Meng Li with such persistence, the bitterness surging in her heart was almost unbearable for her.

Mu Xueyan bit her lower lip, forcing down the unease and loss in her heart.

She knew that Left Sword Envoy Yun Che's feelings for Meng Li had never wavered, even if Meng Li was indifferent to him, or even had someone else in her heart.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, why was he willing to guard someone who didn't love him, yet could not see her own intentions?

Lin Chen sensed the change in the atmosphere. Frowning slightly, she walked over, the two jade pendants at her waist colliding with her steps, emitting a crisp tinkling sound.

"Young Master Yun Che," Lin Chen's voice was sweet and gentle, like a breath of spring breeze, "Let us first concentrate on solving the trouble ahead; we can talk about other things after passing through this Snow Region."

The crisp tinkling sound accompanied by her soft voice allowed the tense atmosphere to ease slightly.

Left Sword Envoy Yun Che nodded helplessly, knowing this was not the appropriate time to pour out his emotions, so he had to temporarily suppress the feelings in his heart and retreat back into the team.

At this time, Right Sword Envoy Qi Mo of Mu Xueyan's team slowly stood out, his gaze sweeping around as he said:

"Since we have reached a cooperation, why not discuss how to deal with these Yao Beasts before us, and make preparations early."

As soon as the words fell, the Heavenly Maiden of the Tianji Pavilion, Su Wanqing, smiled slightly, waved the feather fan in her hand, and elegantly interrupted:

"Wait a moment, Brother Qi Mo. Our three teams have indeed converged, but we are still missing the team from the Western Region's Danxiang Valley.

The area ahead is a dangerous place where the Snow Region borders the Northern Region. Even the Disciples of my Tianji Pavilion cannot pass through smoothly, and I fear the Danxiang Valley will also find it difficult to traverse this dangerous place alone."

She paused slightly, her gaze sweeping across everyone's faces, and continued: "It is better to be patient and wait for the Danxiang Valley team to arrive before discussing how to break through together.

After all, Yao Beasts are entrenched here; without a foolproof plan, I fear it will be difficult for us to escape."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, deciding to wait for a while.

Time passed. Less than two hours later, a light breeze blew past, carrying a faint scent of medicine. In the distant snow mist, purple figures slowly appeared.

It was indeed the team from Danxiang Valley; their footsteps were slightly hurried, clearly having gone through a bitter battle.

The leading woman wore an elegant, flowing purple long dress. The fabric was as light as mist, swaying gently with her steps, as if shrouding her entire person in a layer of faint purple light.

Her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, her features exquisite, her skin whiter than snow, and her long, jet-black hair hung down behind her like flowing water.

This woman was none other than the Purple Rhyme Pill Fairy of Danxiang Valley—Dan Xiner.

Although her aura was stable, there was still a trace of fatigue between her brows, clearly having just experienced a significant battle.

"Apologies for keeping everyone waiting," Dan Xiner's gentle voice drifted softly into everyone's ears.

She lifted her arm slightly, her sleeves fluttering, and her elegant purple long dress swayed gently in the air.

Beside her stood the Dan Guard Left Envoy Liefeng and Dan Guard Right Envoy Huaying. Both of them were also covered in snow and frost, their eyes revealing a touch of vigilance.

Liefeng had a resolute expression and a sturdy build, holding a giant sword in his hand, with a sharp Battle Intent between his brows;

while Huaying had a graceful figure, black hair hanging to her shoulders, a cold and glamorous face, eyes like blades, and she tightly gripped a silver whip in her hand, as if ready to deal with any sudden situation at any time.

Dan Xiner nodded slightly and explained: "The Yao Beast herd ahead is truly ferocious. It took us some effort to escape, and our lateness has indeed caused everyone worry."

Lin Chen smiled sweetly, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze: "It's alright. That Sister Pill Fairy is safe and sound is our greatest fortune."

Dan Xiner revealed a gentle smile and nodded slightly to show her acknowledgment, but a ripple stirred in her heart.

She had long heard that Lin Chen's beauty was peerless and that she was a sweet and quiet girl. Seeing her today, she was indeed very likable.

At this moment, the four teams had finally converged, and the atmosphere eased slightly, but everyone knew in their hearts that the challenge ahead remained perilous.
