After waiting for an entire night, the crashing ice storm finally passed and now, Huo Zhan and his comrades were continuing their journey, as well as Yun Fei who had joined them.
However, throughout the journey, none of them would be willing to approach Yun Fei except Huo Zhan, as the others would prefer to be wary of the mysterious Yun Fei.
"How now?"
"The mysterious person's presence is quite disturbing, but you guys take it easy, because I already have a way to deal with it."
Not long after, their steps were stopped by the appearance of a considerable aura of power, then after that, from within the ground covered by ice, dozens of sculptures made of ice appeared.
"Prepare to fight" said Huo Zhan who immediately pulled out his sword.
Just like Huo Zhan, those cultivators also drew their respective swords, but only Yun Fei stood still without doing anything.
"Groan!" said Huo Zhan.
Then, he coated his sword with the power of fire, then darted forward and attacked the statues, as well as those cultivators who also helped Huo Zhan.
Huo Zhan's fire power was indeed quite effective and proven, his attacks were able to destroy and melt those ice sculptures, but they did not all end as they thought.
The ice sculptures that had melted back together, even the size of their bodies also grew larger and not only that, the aura of power emanated from their bodies also increased.
"Huo Zhan, use your best attacks, I'm sure they will be destroyed if you do."
"Alright" Huo Zhan said.
"If I were you, I wouldn't do it" Yun Fei who had been silent from the beginning, finally spoke up.
"Fey, do you know how to beat them?"
Wush.
Booms!
They were all shocked, because Yun Fei, who was in front of them, suddenly disappeared from sight, followed by an explosion not far from their place.
What surprised them even more was that the explosion was not due to an attack, but because Yun Fei hit the body of one of the cultivators onto the ground covered with ice.
"Honestly, I'm sick of your theatrics" Yun Fei said.
At the same time, the dozens of ice sculptures that blocked their path instantly disappeared without a trace, because from the beginning, they had never existed, but were only an illusion.
"Si-shit, w-why did you realize that?"
"You ask why?" Yun Fei gripped the young man's neck, then raised his body like lifting something very light.
"Because the illusion you created doesn't work for me!" yun Fei said, then killed the young man.
"Kill him!"
Slashwas.
"Hu-Huo Zhan, what are you.." The young man's words were cut off, because before he could finish his words, he had already lost his life.
"Cihh, if it's like this, we can only kill them both!"
The few remaining youths then attacked Huo Zhan, but their steps were immediately stopped by Yun Fei who had appeared before them, then he waved his hand like he was swinging a sword.
A sizable energy blade was created from the wave of Yun Fei's hand, then the energy blade shot towards all of them. The young men tried to hold him back, but their strength was greatly outmatched by Yun Fei's strength.
In the end, those remaining cultivators were successfully eliminated by Yun Fei with just a single strike, and they all died with a body state that had been cut off by the previous energy blade.
"Gather up their storage rings, after which we'll continue on our way."
Huo Zhan nodded and directly executed Yun Fei's command, for some reason he did not dare to refute the order, though he was not Yun Fei's subordinate and the young man was not a superior or master that he had to obey his orders.
"Take it, I don't need it" Yun Fei said as Huo Zhan handed the ring to her.
"You sure?"
After that, the two of them continued their journey along the ice land, because there was no time for them to relax, otherwise their time would be wasted.
Aside from the rules of space and time, cultivators could not linger within the ancient world either, because two months after the gate opened, they had to get out of there immediately, too, or they'll be stuck forever.
Although the ancient world could be said to be his paradise for cultivators, but that place could also be hell for them, because there were many spiritual beasts as well as monsters whose strength was extremely extraordinary.
***
A few days later.
"Fey, are you sure you don't want to take any of these crystals?"
Yun Fei shook his head slowly, "you can take everything if you want."
During these few days, both of them had already searched through some places on the ice land, even they had already found many spirit crystals. However, none of them could attract the attention of Yun Fei.
"Are you looking for something else?"
Yun Fei nodded, "my goal here is indeed to look for something."
"Is it far from here?" huo Zhan asked, but Yun Fei did not answer him.
Huo Zhan let out a long sigh, then walked over to Yun Fei, "already, don't think about me anymore, if you have any important matters, you'd better walk alone."
"You sure?"
"I'm pretty sure, man. After all, you've helped me so much already, so I don't want to get in your way" Huo Zhan replied.
"Alright, then I'll go."
Huo Zhan nodded, "see you at the exit gate."
After saying goodbye, Yun Fei immediately departed from the place, he could finally sigh in relief from successfully escaping Huo Zhan without offending him.
"I'm sorry, Huo Zhan, I was forced to lie to you, because all I wanted was to travel alone."
Yun Fei had indeed helped Huo Zhan before, but that did not mean that he had agreed to travel together. Therefore, Yun Fei was forced to lie in order to leave without offending Huo Zhan.
And the reason why Yun Fei did not take away the resources they found, was because there was indeed nothing that interested him, after all the spirit crystals they found were only medium-level.
"Now I can be free to do whatever I want" Yun Fei muttered as he accelerated his footsteps.
***
The days had gone by quickly, but Yun Fei had not found anything that could catch his attention, even after almost traversing half of the ice region, he still found nothing.
"I'm really bored."
Yun Fei stepped desperately, the ancient world that was considered to be the paradise of cultivators, was in fact nothing more than an ordinary place in Yun Fei's eyes.
While everyone was busy gathering resources, he was still busy along the icy land, searching for something he himself did not know.
"Well, what is this? Wasn't he the masked man of the time?"
Yun Fei regained her senses from her daydream, then turned to the source of the voice, "go, I don't want to be disturbed."
"You hear that? This mysterious man was not in the mood to be disturbed!"
"Hahahaha" the young cultivators laughed mockingly.
"Friend, how about you hand over your storage ring to us?"
Yun Fei directed her gaze at the young man, "listen, I don't want to be bothered, so you guys better get out of here."
"What if we refuse?"
