Chapter 83

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed, and the news of Amu's challenge to Han Zixiang for a duel at the Life and Death Platform had spread like wildfire. This news, like a heavy bomb, shook the entire Northern Cold Sect.

Almost everyone automatically ignored Li Shui, a waste of thirteen years without cultivating a spiritual root, and only saw this as a duel between Amu and Han Zixiang.

Is Amu crazy? Who is Han Zixiang? He is the acknowledged prodigy of the Northern Cold Sect, known as the Purple Snow Demon.

Throughout the Northern Cold Sect, Han Zixiang is the only one who is not a Spirit Realm cultivator but does not wear the white, blue, or purple robes. The Northern Cold Sect's rules are like clouds to him. His father is the chief elder of the Purple Snow Cave, known as the best alchemist, and the head of the Purple Snow Cave has been in seclusion for many years. In reality, Elder Han is the de facto leader of the Purple Snow Cave. Han Qianli and others place great importance on Han Zixiang's talent for cultivation, so they turn a blind eye to him.

Han Zixiang's cultivation is extremely powerful, and he has the capital to be arrogant. Back then, he wore a green robe and easily won the first place in the Northern Cold Sect's cultivation competition, but he refused to enter the first-rate cave for cultivation at the Falling Cloud Cliff, causing a significant stir in the Northern Cold Sect.

After fifteen years of seclusion, he blazed a new trail. Just this point alone makes Han Zixiang stand out in the Northern Cold Sect.

At the high-level cultivation stage, with Han Zixiang's magical abilities, he might not be inferior to Han Bingyi and Mei Lingfeng. No one in the Northern Cold Sect knows how strong Han Zixiang truly is, except for himself.

Amu dares to challenge Han Zixiang, and on the Life and Death Platform. Isn't this seeking death? Han Zixiang is not Yang Yun; ten Yang Yuns are not a match for one of Han Zixiang's arms!

The Life and Death Platform is likely to become Amu's soul-returning platform!

"Hehe! This time Amu is dead for sure. He killed a high-level cultivator and thought he was invincible?"

"Challenging the Purple Snow Demon, certain death! It's said that Han Zixiang has never lost!"

"Bold to the extreme!"

"Taking on such a disciple, the sect leader is truly absurd!"

"Last time, with the sect leader present, Amu killed Yang Yun. This time, I think Amu will get into big trouble!"

The entire Eight Veins were shocked. Compared to this life and death duel, the Northern Cold Sect's minor examination seemed trivial.

"Amu, if you don't die, the Northern Cold Sect will not be at peace!"

At this moment, Elder Li of the Heavenly Passage Peak said with hatred. In front of him sat a blue-robed cultivator. The blue-robed cultivator was none other than Yang Feng, whose divine consciousness had been severed by Amu. At this time, Yang Feng was sitting cross-legged, showing no signs of madness, and his cultivation had actually reached the middle stage of the fixed cultivation level. However, a faint black aura appeared on his face, which seemed more like a deathly aura.

"Nonsense!" Bai Yifeng, upon hearing this, was extremely shocked. "Fengzhao, summon Amu immediately!"

Fengzhao nodded, turned into a shadow, and disappeared.

Killing Yang Yun was acceptable, but Bai Yifeng did not want to lose either Amu or Han Zixiang, especially Amu. When Han Qianli left, he instructed him to give up the Northern Cold Sect's gate rather than Amu. Does this need more explanation? A life and death duel with Han Zixiang is no joke. Although Bai Yifeng knew that Amu was not ordinary, he also knew Han Zixiang's abilities, a demon who could kill without a trace.

"Understood. You may leave!" Upon hearing the report from a fixed cultivation disciple, the head of the Southern Peak, Mei Wangnan, only gave a faint sneer, sipped a mouthful of fragrant tea, and appeared to have everything under control. "The outcome of this battle will determine everything. If Han Zixiang can eliminate Amu, it will save a lot of trouble!"

"Challenging Han Zixiang on the Life and Death Platform?" Upon hearing the news, Han Bingyi glared at the Forgetful Grass with hatred. "Is this guy crazy? I might not even be a match for Han Zixiang."

"Ziyu, did you really see Li Shui and Amu both ride the wind together that day?" On the Purple Peak, the Ice Fairy's face was cold as ice, questioning Ziyu.

"Absolutely true! If I lie, I am willing to accept the punishment from my master!" Ziyu stood respectfully, bowing deeply.

"Hmph! Ziyu, I know you have a private relationship with Amu. On the day of the minor examination, I will be there in person. If you lie, you will face the wall on the Heavenly Son Peak for ten years, not allowed to step out of the mountain!" The Ice Fairy could hardly believe it was true, but she also knew that Ziyu would not lie to her. So everything would have to wait until the day of the minor examination to see the truth.

"Mo Qing, on the day of the minor examination, take my Heavenly Concealment Divine Bow to the Falling Cloud Cliff and act according to my instructions!" In the Heavenly Concealment Cave, Immortal Qianzang smiled at Mo Qing.

"Master, the Heavenly Concealment Divine Bow is the treasure of our lineage. Are you serious?" Mo Qing was hesitant.

"Ha ha! Mo Qing, my innate divination will not be wrong! It seems that my Heavenly Concealment lineage cannot remain aloof. I must also step out!" Immortal Qianzang sighed.

In the Purple Snow Cave.

"Xiang'er, after fifteen years of seclusion, do you have confidence in your first battle after emerging?" A tall, ugly old man in a red robe asked.

"Father, rest assured! I have never lost. A strange cultivator and a waste of thirteen years are nothing. Since so many people want Amu's life, I will do a good deed! On the Life and Death Platform, I will shock the Northern Cold Sect with my abilities. I doubt those two opponents are worth my using any major techniques!" Han Zixiang said confidently with a smile.

"Hmm!" Elder Han nodded. "Be careful of Amu's various magical treasures! His treasures are all soul-level!"

"So what if they are soul-level? I'm afraid he won't use them. Ha ha!"

One move affects the whole body, and the reactions of the various lineages were different.

A Northern Cold Sect minor examination, a life and death duel between Amu and the Purple Snow Demon, was about to open the curtain on the Northern Cold Sect's great battle.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

On that afternoon, Amu stood before Bai Yifeng, ready to be questioned. Amu briefly recounted the events but did not mention Li Shui's successful cultivation of a spiritual root, only saying that he felt unjust and thus challenged Han Zixiang.

"Amu, do you know about Han Zixiang's background and cultivation?" Bai Yifeng's face was slightly angry. He really couldn't understand why Amu would challenge Han Zixiang to a life and death duel on the Life and Death Platform.

"Amu has heard a little!" Amu still held Bai Yifeng in high regard and knew that Bai Yifeng had urgently summoned him for this matter.

"Since you have heard a little, you should know that Han Zixiang is known as the Purple Snow Demon. Although his cultivation is at the high-level fixed cultivation stage, his magical techniques are comparable to a Spirit Realm cultivator. Even if you have some means, you are not a match for him in a life and death battle!"

"He can't kill me!" Amu said calmly.

"Can't kill you?" Bai Yifeng laughed in anger. "Amu, what do you think of your senior brother Fengzhao's cultivation? How does he compare to you?"

"Senior brother Fengzhao?" Amu didn't understand why Bai Yifeng asked this. "Senior brother Fengzhao is a Spirit Realm cultivator, and his cultivation is far beyond Amu's."

"Hmph!" Bai Yifeng snorted. "Do you know that fifteen years ago, in the fixed cultivation competition, your senior brother Fengzhao was at the middle stage of the fixed cultivation level, one level higher than Han Zixiang, but he was defeated in ten moves! It was a lifelong shame!"

"Hmm?" Although Amu knew Han Zixiang was powerful, he didn't expect him to be so strong. Amu knew Fengzhao's cultivation. Without mentioning other things, just the Spirit Realm-level teleportation technique alone made Fengzhao invincible among his peers. A one-level difference, and he was defeated in ten moves. This was simply unbelievable. Han Zixiang was undoubtedly a genius.

"Han Zixiang's magical techniques are unpredictable and often self-created. Many of his techniques originate from the Northern Cold Sect but take a different path. He is not just a Purple Snow Demon; he is a Northern Cold Demon!" Bai Yifeng sighed.

Amu pondered for a moment and said, "Head Bai, despite this, I still have the strength to fight him!"

A trace of surprise flashed in Bai Yifeng's eyes. It seemed that Amu's strength far exceeded his imagination. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

At the same time, Bai Yifeng didn't expect Amu to be so stubborn. It didn't seem like a spur-of-the-moment challenge. He sighed deeply. "Amu, let's take a step back. Even if you have the ability to fight him, the loss of either of you would be a huge loss for the Northern Cold Sect! I think if the sect leader were here, he wouldn't want you to fight him! The Life and Death Platform is not a sparring ground. Putting everything on the Life and Death Platform is not the sect leader's intention! You have already made enemies with Elder Li's lineage by killing Yang Yun. If you also offend the Purple Snow Cave, it would be unwise! As for Li Ruo's matter, I will talk to Head Ice and Elder Han, allowing Li Ruo to make her own choice. What do you think?"

As the head of the Southern Peak and now acting sect leader, Bai Yifeng had spoken to the point, appealing to both emotion and reason. If Amu insisted, it would be excessive.

If the matter of Li Ruo could be resolved, establishing authority might not necessarily require a battle with Han Zixiang. Amu was about to say something about discussing it with Li Shui.

But at that moment, a ripple appeared in the air.

Fengzhao materialized silently and then moved his lips, directly transmitting a message to Bai Yifeng. Before Fengzhao finished speaking, Bai Yifeng's expression had already turned grim. When Fengzhao finished, the killing intent in Bai Yifeng's body was extremely intense. Amu was startled, as the killing intent from Bai Yifeng was terrifying.

Unfortunately, in front of Bai Yifeng, Amu couldn't spread his demonic consciousness, or he could have heard what they were saying.

"This is unprecedented in the Northern Cold Sect. Do you think I can be bullied? Fine! Fine!" Bai Yifeng said the word "fine" twice, his eyes sharp enough to kill.

"Master, what should we do?" Fengzhao bowed, not daring to look at Bai Yifeng.

"Turn the tables and use killing to stop killing!" Bai Yifeng said coldly.

Then Bai Yifeng looked at Amu and asked, "Amu, do you really have the confidence to face Han Zixiang? What are your chances of winning?"

"Hmm!" Amu was taken aback. It seemed that what Fengzhao said had changed Bai Yifeng's attitude. "With Li Shui's help, it's a fifty-fifty chance!"

Bai Yifeng, lost in thought, didn't pay attention to Amu's words. He only heard the fifty-fifty chance and nodded slowly.

After a moment of silence, Bai Yifeng said to Amu, "Amu, I have a task for you!"

"Head, just say it! What task?"

"Killing!"

Upon hearing the words "task" and "killing," Amu suddenly felt inexplicably excited. Killing was once Amu's profession.

"On the Life and Death Platform, use any means necessary to eliminate Han Zixiang!" Bai Yifeng's voice was cold and harsh.
