The same second.

Su Chen was already ready to make a move.

He wasn't the type to hide behind a woman, especially not his own woman.

However, Jiuyou blocked him directly: "No rush, young boy Su, let's see what Xiao Yuan will do first?"

"Alright." Su Chen hesitated for a moment, but nodded.

And at that moment.

As the atmosphere of injustice, anger, and targeting Xiao Yuan grew more intense on the martial training field.

Suddenly!!!

Cold.

An endless chill descended from the sky.

It was as if the entire martial training field had been suddenly stuffed into an ice cave.

The terrifying cold, like an array of sharp, invincible knives, surged towards every martial cultivator on the field.

The ice blades seemed to want to flay everyone alive.

In an instant.

Dead silence.

All noise, all chatter, all anger, turned into dead silence.

"Tian Zao. Anyone who speaks nonsense again, I will kill." Xiao Yuan swept a cold glance over the myriad of martial cultivators on the martial training field, suppressing them all with an unimaginable might.

Su Chen's mouth twitched.

Yuan'er, is this what it means to become an Ice Phoenix!

"This girl, I like her." Jiuyou was somewhat excited: "Young boy Su, you're really lucky!"

"Xiao Yuan. Are you forcing this old man to make a move?" Fifth Elder's aura had become dangerous.

He truly did not want to fight Xiao Yuan because Xiao Yuan's identity was too special. As a disciple of that person, daring to fight Xiao Yuan could possibly make him a target for that person—a person known for being extremely protective.

For this reason, even though Xiao Yuan had been arrogant repeatedly, he continued to endure it.

But Xiao Yuan was relentless.

Utterly impudent.

The Fifth Elder was nearly unable to hold back.

"Say. Where is Wen Rou? Otherwise, I will kill you." Xiao Yuan continued to ignore the Fifth Elder as if she was confident he wouldn't dare act. She stepped forward, walking step by step towards Xiang Qianqing.

Fifth Elder's face turned red!!!

Damn it. He had underestimated Xiao Yuan's arrogance.

The murderous intent in his heart was nearly uncontrollable. Even though he had experienced many storms and his state of mind was stable, it was slipping now, and the murderous intent was beginning to swirl.

Xiao Yuan was forcing him to make a move!

In the distance.

Su Chen squinted slightly.

Once the Fifth Elder acted, he would too.

"Grandfather, what should we do?" Fang Chuan Sword had already reached the Fifth Elder, anxious, as their grandfather-grandson pair was practically being driven to a dead end!

Either let Xiao Yuan threaten Xiang Qianqing, kill Xiang Qianqing, or fight the goddess?

Whatever path they took, it was a road of nine deaths and one life.

If Xiang Qianqing died, the Great Elder, Second Elder, and others would definitely erupt in rage and hold their grandfather-grandson duo accountable.

But if they fought Xiao Yuan, the person behind Xiao Yuan was also extremely protective, and they might just suppress the grandfather-grandson duo to death.

The Fifth Elder remained silent, his old eyes nearly bloodshot, staring at Xiao Yuan: "Wait!!! Just wait! If she really intends to kill Xiang Qianqing, we'll have to act to stop it!"

Fang Chuan Sword nodded heavily, his face pale and stern.

"Xiang Qianqing. Tell me. Where exactly is Wen Rou?" Xiao Yuan had already arrived in front of Xiang Qianqing, looking down at her.

So close, Xiao Yuan's aura was even more terrifying. Xiang Qianqing felt like a small boat in the center of a storm, about to be shattered.

Xiao Yuan's aura threatened to shatter her internal organs; the red at the corner of her mouth became even more crimson.

Under the watchful eyes of all present, countless martial cultivators were filled with towering anger, but on the martial training field, no one dared to discuss it further, nor did they dare express anger—provoking Xiao Yuan meant death.

"Dominating the entire field alone!" Jiuyou chuckled: "You see, that Fifth Elder is about to erupt with rage, must be feeling very aggrieved, huh?"

"Does Xiang Qianqing even know where Wen Rou is?" Su Chen frowned: "She hasn't said anything until now."

"Speak!" Xiao Yuan raised her hand abruptly and gave it a casual wave.

In an instant.

Xiang Qianqing screamed in pain.

She felt as though her bone marrow was going to be frozen and shattered.

Pain!

Indescribable pain!

"I don't know." But there was no hesitation in Xiang Qianqing. She raised her head, grinning through gritted teeth: "You fear my hourglass physique and want an excuse to kill me, then just kill! Why torture me like this? Kill me!"

For a moment, the atmosphere turned stiff.

Xiao Yuan suppressed the entire field with dominance yet couldn't get the answer she wanted.

She couldn't really kill Xiang Qianqing because Wen Rou's location was still unknown, and if Xiang Qianqing died, it might forever remain a secret.

Xiang Qianqing truly seemed ready to face death with equanimity.

"Indeed. She still doesn't dare to kill Xiang Qianqing." The Fifth Elder, watching Xiao Yuan and Xiang Qianqing, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, a mocking smile appearing: Now, Xiao Yuan was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

"Hmph. A goddess? Foolish!" The Fifth Elder snorted coldly.

As long as Xiang Qianqing doesn't die, there'll be plenty of good days for Xiao Yuan to come.

With the Hourglass Physique, she will surely rise in the future, and then with such hatred, Xiang Qianqing and Xiao Yuan will have an undying determination.

"Even with that backing, can you really compete with Xiang Qianqing? Especially since Xiang Qianqing possesses the Hourglass Physique, once she joins the Dao Qing Sect, will that person favor you or switch to Xiang Qianqing? It's still a question mark."

"Kill me! Kill me!! Kill me!!! Why don't you just kill me now!" Sensing Xiao Yuan's hesitation, and feeling that Xiao Yuan would never really kill her, Xiang Qianqing seemed unafraid. After all, if she couldn't die, what was a little pain and suffering?

As martial cultivators, who hasn't tasted various pains worse than death?

Xiang Qianqing was no different.

During her own Blood Marrow Exchange, the pain was beyond description, yet she persevered, didn't she?

What was there to fear?

Xiao Yuan frowned slightly.

Inside, she brimmed with indescribable frustration.

By her character, she surely would have killed Xiang Qianqing directly. But for Su Chen, she had to bear this frustration.

Otherwise, with Wen Rou lost, Su Chen would surely regret it for life.

"Young boy Su, Xiao Yuan's feelings for you truly run deep! Even having lost her memory, she still considers you. To the extent of forcibly restraining her emotions for you." Jiuyou sighed: "You should treat her well in the future."

"Mm." Su Chen also frowned, for the grievance Xiao Yuan was enduring wasn't unlike his own.

In truth, even if he personally took action, the best outcome would just be like Xiao Yuan now, suppressing Xiang Qianqing, controlling her life.

But the outcome was evident, Xiang Qianqing was clever, knowing that as long as she didn't reveal Wen Rou's whereabouts, she wouldn't die.

Now, like Xiao Yuan, all he could do was stand there in silence, holding back.
