Four days later.
After failing to assassinate Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, the man named Tu Yi returned to the Snow Mountain Tribe's settlement.
At this time, the Clan Leader of the Snow Mountain Tribe was still in the settlement waiting for his good news and had not returned to the ancient city.
Upon seeing Tu Yi, the Clan Leader hurriedly approached him and asked, "Tu Yi, have you accomplished the task I assigned to you?"
Tu Yi honestly shook his head and said, "No! That kid is incredible; I am no match for him."
The Clan Leader of the Snow Mountain Tribe's eyes shone with disbelief as he exclaimed, "Even you are no match for him! How powerful is that kid!"
Tu Yi grunted and with a grave expression said, "Very powerful!"
After a moment of silence, the Snow Mountain Clan Leader walked up to Lianyi with a flicker of light in his eyes and said, "Since you haven't completed the task, you'll have to obediently return beneath the seal."
"No!" Tu Yi shook his head, his face filled with despair.
The Clan Leader of the Snow Mountain Tribe furiously said, "Don't forget the oath we took. If you dare to break that oath, I can take your life at any time."
Tu Yi's face turned ashen; then he knelt in front of the Snow Mountain Tribe's Clan Leader, pleading, "Clan Leader, I beg you, let me see her, just once, just for a moment. Even if I have no merit, I still have hard labor."
"Not a chance!" The Snow Mountain Tribe's Clan Leader immediately rejected him, then raised the magic wand in his hand intending to seal Tu Yi beneath the icy plains again.
However, just when he was about to chant the spell, he suddenly lowered the magic wand.
Tu Yi was somewhat surprised, a faint glimmer of hope appearing in his dull eyes.
After another moment of silence, the Snow Mountain Clan Leader walked over to Tu Yi, placed his hand on Tu Yi's shoulder, and said, "I will let you meet her, and then I will give you one last chance."
Tu Yi looked troubled and said in a pained voice, "But I still can't defeat that kid."
"I will teach you a spell," the Snow Mountain Clan Leader said, "that can seal the enchanted power in that kid's left eye."
Tu Yi's face lit up with surprise as he eagerly asked, "After I kill him, will you fulfill our wish?"
"Of course!" The Clan Leader of the Snow Mountain Tribe nodded. "Don't forget the oath we took; I will do as I've said."
Previously, the Snow Mountain Tribe's Clan Leader hadn't told Tu Yi the spell because he believed Tu Yi was capable of killing Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body; secondly, the spell was very important—if Tu Yi used it to seal the half of the Nether King's Heart on the Second Generation Nether King, the entire ancient city would be destroyed.
If it weren't absolutely necessary, the Snow Mountain Tribe's Clan Leader would not have told Tu Yi the spell.
"Get up," the Snow Mountain Tribe's Clan Leader helped Tu Yi rise, then said earnestly, "You were once the bravest warrior of our Snow Mountain Tribe, you must never kneel before anyone again!"
When he said this, the Clan Leader's tone was filled with bitterness. Had it not been for Tu Yi's entanglement with love, he might have already become the leader of the Snow Mountain Tribe.
However, Tu Yi did not hear his words, as he was immersed in the joy of soon meeting his beloved.
"Clan Leader, when are we going to see Han Shuang?"
The Clan Leader of the Snow Mountain Tribe sighed in disappointment and said, "I'll take you to see her in the ancient city right now, but I'll tell you the spell first; it won't be convenient to talk there."

Ancient city.
Outside the city, the snow still covered the sky, but inside, it was still brimming with the colors of spring.
"Xie Xiaofeng, we need a vine here, about as thick as a calf's leg and over three meters high!" a corpulent man instructed Xie Xiaofeng.
"Alright!" Xie Xiaofeng readily agreed, then conjured a bizarrely shaped vine from the ground using Yin Yang Five Elements Magic as per the man's request.
Right then, the two were on the street of the ancient city installing street lamps.
A few days after Xie Xiaofeng's arrival in the ancient city, this chubby man had found him, asking to replace all the streetlights in the city.
"Very good!" the man expressed his satisfaction, then handed a yellow gemstone to Xie Xiaofeng, "Install this gemstone."
"Sure thing!" Xie Xiaofeng responded, then leaned the ladder against the vine, climbed the step ladder, and fixed the yellow gemstone on the vine he had just summoned.
"Very good!" the man praised again, "Xie Xiaofeng, your Five Elements Spells are truly miraculous, solving the troubles that have long plagued my mind. Everything in this ancient city looks marvelous except for the streetlights, which are too ugly and for which I could find no better replacement. Your arrival has perfectly solved this issue."
Xie Xiaofeng chuckled, thinking to himself that he didn't understand the aesthetics of you artists.
"Tell the stewards to install a Five Elements Stone at the base of these lampposts, thus these lampposts will be maintained for a very long time."
"No problem."
At that moment, on the top floor of the ice sculpture building, the Second Generation Nether King was standing at the window, watching Xie Xiaofeng and the man.
"My lord, this youngster has been performing very well these days," an elderly man with white hair said from behind the Second Generation Nether King.
"Performing well?" The Second Generation Nether King appeared skeptical, "The better the performance, the more abnormal it is."
"Perhaps he has genuinely taken a liking to this place, to be among a group of imaginative and creative elites and geniuses—that's a wonderful feeling. It's just like every person here who has fallen in love with this place," the old man said.
"Let's hope so," said the Second Generation Nether King, "Send someone to keep an eye on him for another half month."
At that moment, a middle-aged man arrived on the top floor of the ice sculpture building by airship, then said, "My lord, the Clan Leader has returned and brought someone with him."
The Second Generation Nether King immediately looked disappointed; he sensed that the other half of the Nether King's Heart remained in the snowfields to the south, and the return of the Clan Leader of the Snow Mountain Tribe at this time meant that the man he had sent had not killed Chen Hao.
Thus, he immediately leapt from the ice sculpture building, landing on the entrance of the first floor.
At that time, the Clan Leader of the Snow Mountain Tribe and Tu Yi were standing at the door, waiting for the Second Generation Nether King to unseal the entrance.
"You're back," the Second Generation Nether King said coldly to the Snow Mountain Tribe's Clan Leader, "but the task is not accomplished."
"Don't rush me, and don't speak to me with an accusing tone!" the Clan Leader of the Snow Mountain Tribe glared at the Second Generation Nether King and said, "I need some more time. If you have any complaints, then you can handle it yourself, otherwise don't stand in front of us and point fingers!"
The Second Generation Nether King's expression darkened, then he looked around. If it weren't for the fact that there were no people around, he, who cared so much about his image, wouldn't forgive the Snow Mountain Clan Leader's offensive words.
"Who is this man?" the Second Generation Nether King asked, looking at Tu Yi.
Tu Yi's eyes bulged as he stared at the Second Generation Nether King.
