Chapter 23

"It seems these ice apes have developed some intelligence," Lin Feng whispered.

He and Murong Xue were hiding in the shadows, observing the situation.

"A bunch of beasts, daring to threaten this young master, truly asking for death, release the arrows..."

When Yuwen Yunfeng saw the ice apes, his face was full of a cold sneer.

To obtain the "Mystic Ice Cold Liquid," Yuwen Yunfeng had prepared for a long time.

The people he brought were all skilled hands of the Soul Devouring Hall, and there were also Sun Kui and Li Tianshang, two martial artists, to assist.

The other Soul Devouring Hall experts were all equipped with "Dharma Arrows."

These Dharma Arrows were arranged in a great formation, far more powerful than ordinary arrows. Once released, they could instantly pierce through metal, with astonishing power.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Upon hearing Yuwen Yunfeng's order, all the cultivators of the Soul Devouring Hall took out their large bows and Dharma Arrows, drew their bows, and shot arrows at the ice apes.

"Yuwen Yunfeng really went all out, using Dharma Arrows to kill these ice apes. A single Dharma Arrow is worth five hundred taels of silver," Murong Xue said in surprise.

Wave after wave of Dharma Arrows were shot out. The ice apes, being very agile, dodged the arrows by darting and weaving through the forest.

However, with over a hundred cultivators from the Soul Devouring Hall continuously shooting Dharma Arrows, some ice apes couldn't dodge in time and were instantly pierced through, falling to the ground, dead.

In no time, seven or eight ice apes were killed, and the rest of the ice apes let out furious roars.

Yuwen Yunfeng's face was full of a sinister smile, "Don't stop, kill these beasts."

The cultivators of the Soul Devouring Hall continued to draw their bows and shoot arrows, killing the ice apes.

Many ice apes dodged clumsily, and during the process, more ice apes were killed.

The roars of the ice apes drew the attention of more ice apes from within the Ice Ape Valley.

"Roar."

A huge ice ape king, over ten meters tall, roared and charged out.

"Focus your fire, kill the ice ape king."

When Yuwen Yunfeng saw the ice ape king, his face showed a look of excitement.

Following Yuwen Yunfeng's order, over a hundred cultivators of the Soul Devouring Hall aimed their arrows at the ice ape king.

A dense barrage of arrows shot toward the ice ape king.

The ice ape king roared and directly uprooted a mountain peak nearly a thousand meters high, then threw it at the place where the Soul Devouring Hall cultivators were.

"What monstrous strength." Lin Feng and Murong Xue were amazed. The strength to uproot a mountain peak with a single hand was truly terrifying.

"Ah, quickly get out of the way." The cultivators of the Soul Devouring Hall screamed in terror and scattered.

However, more than a dozen people were too slow and were crushed into meat paste by the mountain peak thrown by the ice ape king.

"Master, this ice ape king is too terrifying. Should we temporarily retreat?" Sun Kui said.

"Draw these ice apes away," Yuwen Yunfeng said in a deep voice. This person was as wise as a demon, instantly thinking of a way to disperse the ice apes.

The cultivators of the Soul Devouring Hall began to retreat.

Following Yuwen Yunfeng's instructions, the cultivators of the Soul Devouring Hall retreated while continuing to shoot Dharma Arrows at the ice apes, angering the ice ape king.

The roar of the ice ape king shook the earth. Under the leadership of the ice ape king, the ice apes pursued the Soul Devouring Hall people.

Soon, the Soul Devouring Hall people and the ice apes led by the ice ape king disappeared from sight. Lin Feng said, "Quick, our chance has come."

Murong Xue also had an excited look on her face. The two of them darted out from their hiding place and quickly entered the Ice Ape Valley, heading straight for the deepest part of the valley, the ice ape lair.

"We need to act quickly. I'm worried Yuwen Yunfeng might come back halfway," Lin Feng said.

Murong Xue nodded and entered the ice ape lair with Lin Feng.

Inside the ice ape lair, thick ice layers covered the walls, and the cold air was intense. The temperature was extremely low. Entering it, Lin Feng and Murong Xue shivered from the cold. They endured and pushed deeper into the mountain's belly. In the center of the mountain's belly, there was a stalactite, and below it, a small depression. Liquid droplets condensed on the stalactite, but the condensation was extremely slow. In the depression below, a small pool of icy liquid had gathered.

"Mystic Ice Cold Liquid."

Lin Feng and Murong Xue's faces showed surprise and joy. They quickly moved toward the depression. At that moment, a roar came from deep in the cave, and two ice apes charged in, roaring and pouncing toward Lin Feng and Murong Xue. Two ice apes were still guarding the ice ape lair. Seeing Lin Feng and Murong Xue, they rushed out to kill these intruders.

"I'll deal with these two ice apes. You quickly collect the Mystic Ice Cold Liquid," Murong Xue said.

"Alright, be careful."

Lin Feng nodded and quickly moved to the depression. Murong Xue intercepted the two ice apes. As a martial artist, she was powerful and had no problem dealing with the two ice apes.

Lin Feng collected all the Mystic Ice Cold Liquid into two small porcelain bottles. Then he shouted, "Done, let's go."

Murong Xue forced the two ice apes back and fled the ice ape lair with Lin Feng. The two ice apes roared and chased after them, but by the time they emerged from the lair, Lin Feng and Murong Xue had already left the ice ape territory. The two ice apes roared in anger and returned to the lair to guard it.

Not long after Lin Feng and Murong Xue left, a figure darted in from a distance. It was Yuwen Yunfeng of the Soul Devouring Hall.

He had used the Soul Devouring Hall cultivators to draw away the ice ape king and the ice apes, then returned halfway to collect the Mystic Ice Cold Liquid. At this moment, Yuwen Yunfeng's face was full of excitement. The thought of obtaining the Mystic Ice Cold Liquid and achieving a breakthrough made him feel elated.

He entered the ice ape lair. As soon as he entered, the two ice apes pounced at him. Yuwen Yunfeng's eyes turned cold, and he sneered, "Beasts asking for death." Yuwen Yunfeng's back slightly trembled, like a great dragon shaking its spine, and he unleashed two powerful punches, colliding with the two ice apes.

Bang, bang!

The bodies of the two ice apes exploded, shattered into pieces by Yuwen Yunfeng's punches. His strength was truly terrifying.

After killing the two ice apes, Yuwen Yunfeng quickly moved to the depression. But when he arrived, his smile vanished instantly. The depression was empty, clearly someone had beaten him to it and taken the Mystic Ice Cold Liquid.

"My Mystic Ice Cold Liquid! I spent countless amounts of money and effort to find its location. To obtain the Mystic Ice Cold Liquid, so many experts of the Soul Devouring Hall died. In the end, I got nothing, completely working for others. Who? Who stole my Mystic Ice Cold Liquid?"

Yuwen Yunfeng's face twisted, his eyes filled with a cold, murderous intent.

"Murong Xue?" Suddenly, a name flashed in Yuwen Yunfeng's mind.

Sun Kui had mentioned that Murong Xue and another young man were also in the Wild Jungle.

"Could it be these two gave me a surprise attack? Fine, fine, fine. No matter where you run, this young master will find you two and crush you to dust."

Yuwen Yunfeng's face twisted, and he quickly darted out of the cave to search for Lin Feng and Murong Xue.
