Zhou Yuzhi swung his sword, and it seemed to Liang Yi as if a black hole was collapsing. Wherever the sword pointed, neither time nor space could hinder it even slightly.

In the ice wall, the Extreme Cold Law seemed to sense some danger, its already crystal clear deep blue now shone even brighter, with visible ice crystals slowly gathering.

With an indifferent expression, Zhou Yuzhi watched as his Sword Intent, which attracted everything, struck the ice wall like a swan stepping into snowy mud.

He didn't plan to destroy this nearly solidified Law, as his elder sister might still need it for cultivation. His only intention was to simply let his elder sister sense his arrival.

"Crack! Crack!"

Liang Yi looked up to see a crack forming where the Sword Intent collided with the ice wall, and the crack was still growing.

However, the direction of the crack's expansion was odd; it was spreading inward rather than dispersing outward.

The speed of the crack deepening was not fast because this seemingly icy object was actually a manifestation of the Law, and normally a cultivator of the Seventh Realm might not leave any trace with a strike.

But the speed of this crack's advancement was incredibly steady, aiming straight for the maiden at the center.

Under everyone's watch, after a long journey, the crack finally reached the lady lying there like Sleeping Beauty.

The moment the crack stopped, a pair of ice-blue indifferent eyes slowly opened.

There was clearly no wind, but the long hair at the temples of Liang Yi and Su Youyi still fluttered. They sensed the danger coming from the gaze and subconsciously stepped back.

After retreating, Liang Yi and Su Youyi looked solemnly at the spot where they had just been standing, where a sky-blue ice pillar now stood, freezing that piece of the Void.

Had they been a second slower, they would have been the ones frozen.

This wasn't targeted at them; this "cold wind" came from the ice wall, blowing toward the whole world, though Zhou Yuzhi and Zhou Yuqing didn't seem to feel it.

Zhou Ruanxian in the ice wall also realized she had some control issues with her power upon waking up, and her eyes, cold due to the Extreme Cold Law and her enchantment, instantly cleared up and returned to the gentle look she had in her sleep, retracting the dispersed power.

As Zhou Ruanxian moved, the ice wall that had been incredibly hard now rippled like water.

Zhou Ruanxian saw the ice wall as nothing; in front of her, these entities formed by the Extreme Cold Law were merely like a layer of bubbles.

Seeing Zhou Yuzhi outside the ice wall, Zhou Ruanxian's eyes showed some happiness. Although she didn't know why her younger brother had awakened her, she deeply loved him.

Seeing his elder sister awake, Zhou Yuzhi felt somewhat emotional; seeing her behavior, it seemed she had thoroughly comprehended the Extreme Cold Law.

However, it wasn't the time to think about these things; there was something more important to notify his elder sister about.

Zhou Yuzhi pointed to the ground, gesturing for his elder sister to look there.

Zhou Ruanxian was puzzled but still followed the direction pointed by her younger brother and saw someone she would never have expected to see.

Even within the ice wall, Zhou Ruanxian still shed two lines of clear tears, which fell and turned to ice crystals.

The death of her younger sister had always been a scar in her heart, one she thought she could never heal, yet now she found herself suddenly reunited with her sister.

As a cultivator of the Eighth Realm, she naturally could tell whether the person outside the ice wall was real or an illusion. And knowing Chen Hua and her younger brother well, it wasn't possible that they would comfort her by finding someone who looked exactly the same, as that would actually be pointless.

At this moment, when Zhou Yuqing saw Zhou Ruanxian, the memories etched in her heart began to surge.

As more memories appeared to her, the shaking of the seals on her Divine Soul grew stronger. Although this carried the risk of tearing her Divine Soul apart, she chose not to stop.

Because this was her sister, the sister who had raised her since she was little, her elder sister like a mother.

Zhou Ruanxian also noticed that Zhou Yuqing's Divine Soul was in a strange state and immediately came to her side with a worried expression as soon as she freed herself from the ice wall.

Zhou Ruanxian's fingertips emitted a trace of blue luminescence, touching Zhou Yuqing's forehead, and instantly, the intense pain in her Divine Soul eased.

However, the tremors in her Divine Soul were so great that, before she could even exchange a single word with Zhou Ruanxian, she fainted into her arms.

Liang Yi had some realization, even though the light wasn't directed at them, their Divine Souls still felt a pleasant coolness, which must be a use of the Extreme Cold Law.

"Sister..." Zhou Ruanxian, holding Zhou Yuqing, slowly sat down, over and over assuring herself this was not an illusion, with a pained, tender smile on her face.

"Yu, Yuqing, isn't she clearly already... how could she now?" Zhou Ruanxian looked up and asked Zhou Yuzhi, who had come to her side.

"Sister's death was a conspiracy by the Devouring Spirit Sect, and her resurrection was due to a strand of Vermilion Bird Divine Flame from the Devouring Spirit Sect. However, to make sister serve them, they engraved a complex seal in her Divine Soul," Zhou Yuzhi sighed softly and slowly explained everything that happened over the years.

"And Chen Hua..." Zhou Ruanxian looked around, not seeing the person she loved most.

"Brother-in-law is guarding the Abyssal Rift at the Desert North Zen Sect. This time, he sent his two disciples to handle this affair. But I guess he still feels guilty and dares not meet you," Zhou Yuzhi shrugged and pointed to the two obediently standing aside.

"Are you Chen Hua's disciples?" Zhou Ruanxian was somewhat surprised, as she remembered Chen Hua was the least patient in teaching his disciples, yet unexpectedly, he had two.

"Hello, Master Mother, I am Liang Yi, this is my younger sister disciple Su Youyi, following our master's orders to help Master Mother dispel her inner demons," Liang Yi stepped forward, bowing solemnly.

Su Youyi on the side, also bowed, feeling a bit nervous meeting her Master Mother for the first time.

"Having Chen Hua as your master must have been hard on you both."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ruanxian lovingly stroked Liang Yi and Su Youyi, her words tinged with empathy, knowing how reckless Chen Hua usually was.

"Master is very good to us, he saved our lives, and he has always taken great care of us," Su Youyi explained.

Even though the master was indeed a bit whimsical at times, he was never careless about important matters, whether concerning their cultivation or other matters, he cared deeply.

"That's good, if he dares to treat you badly, just tell Master Mother, and I'll set him straight," Zhou Ruanxian doted on the two younger ones, feeling more and more fond of them.
