Quickly, Queen informed Duan Gujin that her subordinates had spotted nine Martial Emperor Realm leaders of the Fire Demon Spirits here.
Duan Gujin inhaled sharply, his eyes flashed, and he said to Queen: "Your Majesty, if we are to eliminate them one by one, it will be really difficult, and we don't know what other unexpected events might occur! If we could completely eradicate them at once, then we would achieve great success. If we keep eliminating them one by one like this, we will never know when it will end!"
Hearing Duan Gujin's words, the Queen nodded vigorously.
"I know, but we really don't have any other options now!"
Queen sighed.
"Your Majesty, why don't you have any intelligence on this ice mountain?"
Duan Gujin showed the Queen the area marked as an ice mountain on the map.
The Queen said: "You are not one of our Xingyu Clan members, so you don't know that we Xingyu Clan members don't like to get wet when flying in the sky. Once we get wet, we become very uncomfortable. Although I had planned to send someone to investigate this area before, my subordinates told me it's extremely cold here and it cannot sustain the food of our Xingyu Clan. So, I gave up on exploring this region!"
"Is that really the case?"
Duan Gujin's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, I have no reason to lie to you!"
Queen said.
With a thought, Duan Gujin had Queen summon a few Human Warriors to this location to eliminate those Martial Emperor Realm leaders of the Fire Demon Spirits, while he decided to go to the ice mountain himself. He wanted to find a method to quickly eradicate those Fire Demon Spirits.
"You're not planning to desert at a critical moment, are you?"
Queen's eyes flickered upon hearing Duan Gujin's words.
She knew Duan Gujin, a Human, was full of cunning strategies; had it not been for his idea this time, it would have been difficult to eliminate those Fire Demon Spirits as effortlessly as now.
But Duan Gujin had controlled Tie Yi with the Soul Transformation Seal, how could she trust Duan Gujin?
"Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as I find a way back, I will release Tie Yi! I won't desert in the face of battle! I want to return with my Human friends as well!"
Duan Gujin said earnestly.
"I hope you will keep your promise then. If you break your word, your Human friends will be killed by me!"
Queen said coldly.
"Understood!"
Queen had previously warned Duan Gujin that she had confined several Humans to a very secret place.
Duan Gujin was not surprised by Queen's move.
He told the Queen that if she wanted to eliminate those Fire Demon Spirits, even the leaders among them, she just needed to follow the steps he had previously laid out, and she would easily eliminate those leaders of the Fire Demon Spirits.
After giving his instructions, Duan Gujin took Tie Yi and rapidly flew towards a region on the map that was shown to be extremely cold.
He asked Tie Yi, and from her words, he learned that as the Queen had said, members of the Xingyu Clan feared the severe cold and, thus, were averse to exploring such a frigid land.
Relieved that the Queen had not lied, he let out a sigh of relief.
Once inside, Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense and quickly scanned the surrounding environment.
Moments later, he saw that there was a tremendous Array inside the ice mountain ahead.
His brows furrowed deeply, initially thinking he had sensed wrong, but after repeated confirmations, he finally believed that he was not mistaken, and he truly had detected a huge Array within the ice mountain ahead.
"That's a Defensive Magic Array!"
His brows still deeply furrowed, he decided to investigate.
Soon, he entered the high mountain, where he saw a precipice in front of him, which was extremely steep and hard to climb.
"Once here, the only option is to fly up!"
Duan Gujin checked the surroundings and found that the rock wall was unusually flat, as if the entire precipice had been cut with a Sharp Sword.
Furthermore, the steep wall was surrounded by ice everywhere, making it not only steep but also incredibly smooth.
Duan Gujin knew that climbing up would be very difficult; the only thing to do was to fly up.
"We'll fly up together!"
So, he decided to fly up with Tie Yi.
But after flying for a while, Tie Yi told Duan Gujin that she couldn't hold on any longer.
"There seems to be a very strange energy in this place! The higher I fly, the more uncomfortable I feel," said Tie Yi.
Upon hearing this, Duan Gujin's eyebrows immediately knitted together; he hadn't expected Tie Yi to give in so quickly.
He knew Tie Yi probably wasn't lying to him, so he let her go back down, while he extended his Divine Sense to carefully observe the energy fluctuations around them.
He could indeed sense a powerful Array Energy fluctuation in the nearby void, and upon calculation, he realized that the energy fluctuation he was detecting was conflicting with the energy in Tie Yi's body.
This meant that Tie Yi couldn't approach that energy fluctuation, while he could.
"How come this place seems to be man-made, specifically designed to guard against the three major species of the Fire Cloud Continent!"
He had this suspicion before, and he knew in his heart that the only way to find out the truth was to go up.
After making some preparations, he deployed his Flying Technique to ascend.
But when he reached a certain height, he suddenly became keenly aware of the presence of Forbidden Space Magic in the void ahead.
His complexion changed drastically, and he quickly took some Dark Weapons out of his storage ring, sticking them into the steep ice blocks.
After making sure there were no issues, he continued to move forward.
Having traveled a certain distance, he felt that the energy within his body was rapidly depleting, and his body hurriedly flew towards the ice wall.
After a while, he finally calmed his shocked soul.
"There really is a Forbidden Space Array here!"
Duan Gujin then slowly climbed up, little by little, using the Dark Weapons.
After climbing for about three kilometers, he sensed the energy of the Forbidden Space Array around him dissipate.
"What on earth is this place?"
He didn't look down; he knew he was in an extremely dangerous environment.
If it weren't for the thick ice here, he would have fallen straight from the sky.
Even though he could stabilize himself after falling to a certain extent,
he would have been terribly frightened during the fall.
Duan Gujin didn't dare to take anything lightly and climbed upwards very cautiously.
This time, although he proceeded very slowly, he couldn't take a risk with his life.
After climbing for two hours, he finally reached the mountaintop with great difficulty.
Once at the mountaintop, he discovered that he had arrived at a flat area, which was surrounded by various strange and bizarre plants.
Seeing those plants, Duan Gujin's eyes widened in astonishment.
"My heavens! Are these not Netherworld Ice Flowers?"
Realizing that they were all Spiritual Medicines, Duan Gujin's face was filled with joy, but then a thought struck him, and he knew that the Netherworld Ice Flowers in this place must have been planted by someone.
He didn't approach the Netherworld Ice Flowers but observed from a distance.
After a while, he sensed that in front of those Netherworld Ice Flowers, there were various types of offensive Arrays.
If he had been overly excited earlier, seeing those Netherworld Ice Flowers and had rushed to pick them, he might have already been blown to ashes by now.
"That was close!"
He was sure that the Netherworld Ice Flowers he was seeing were planted by someone, and whoever could plant them here was definitely not an ordinary person.
