As the cherry blossoms danced in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of promise written there.

While listening to Ah Hu's account, Yan Zhaoge was not surprised.

Main character aura, the true emperor, after enduring hardships, as long as they don't die, they will definitely level up.

However, Ye Jing's performance was somewhat different from what Yan Zhaoge remembered.

"More radical, more stubborn, also more irritable and easily angered." Yan Zhaoge stroked his chin in thought: "It seems that although the ring helped him reshape his body, it also had some negative effects."

"If he is practicing a divine technique that affects one's emotions, with his current cultivation and mental fortitude, he still needs more tempering, making him easily influenced by the technique."

"From this perspective, the complete destruction and reshaping of his body might not be suitable for the current Ye Jing. If he had experienced this tribulation at a higher cultivation level, there might not have been these issues."

"How come it feels like someone's main character path has gone a bit off track? This is truly a sin, but..." Yan Zhaoge's gaze gradually turned cold: "So you think it's justified to beat him up?"

Coming back to his senses, Yan Zhaoge looked at Ah Hu: "What did the sect say after receiving the news?"

Ah Hu grinned: "First, this kid maliciously injured a fellow disciple, so he naturally needs to be punished. Of course, he will also be interrogated to clarify the details, not just one-sided words."

"Then, it confirmed your judgment that day; he indeed survived the great calamity and successfully returned from the Dragon Suppressing Abyss."

"However, because of Ye Jing's intense hatred and anger towards you, some people still doubt your explanation, thinking there might be more to the story."

"So, after capturing Ye Jing, you will probably have to perform the Blood Soul Reflection Ritual with him."

Yan Zhaoge shrugged: "I don't mind. Given his current performance, Second Master Uncle's people probably won't want to kill him to frame me. Instead, they will try to get the so-called inside story from him to make things difficult for me."

Ah Hu scratched his head: "I never thought this Ye kid could cause so much trouble."

"Ha ha..." Yan Zhaoge smiled without speaking.

This is just the beginning.

Ah Hu smiled honestly: "This kid has cut himself off from the sect this time."

"Sir, since the sect has already made a decision, should we just leave him alone? To avoid giving others a handle, making them think you have something to hide and want to silence him."

"In this situation, if you are framed again, it would be too unjust. Just hand over all the information to the person in charge of this matter in the sect."

Yan Zhaoge said calmly: "As long as he isn't killed."

"Don't tie our hands. If you find him, notify me immediately. I will personally give him a good beating to give Brother Lan an explanation, then hand him over to the sect."

"Brother Lan was injured because he spoke up for me. Remember to take care of him."

"Besides medicine and tonics, tell him I have a middle-grade treasure weapon reserved for him. When he advances to the Grandmaster level, the item will be his."

Ah Hu smiled honestly: "Yes, Sir."

Yan Zhaoge nodded, his gaze returning to the towering mountains before him.

At this moment, a black-clad figure appeared before Yan Zhaoge, carefully presenting a spirit herb: "Sir, I found it!"

Yan Zhaoge's eyes lit up: "Ten-Leaf Golden Orchid!"

Taking the spirit herb, Yan Zhaoge examined it for a moment, his smile growing wider, and he couldn't resist the urge to laugh out loud.

He originally thought it was just a few hundred-year-old Ten-Leaf Golden Orchid, but it turned out to be over a thousand years old. How could Yan Zhaoge not be happy?

After all, Ten-Leaf Golden Orchid is extremely rare, and most are picked prematurely. A thousand-year-old Ten-Leaf Golden Orchid is as hard to find as a Flame True Fire seed.

Now that he had obtained one so easily, Yan Zhaoge was naturally delighted.

The black-clad figure continued: "Sir, while searching for the Ten-Leaf Golden Orchid, we unexpectedly discovered a strange river valley."

Yan Zhaoge asked: "How strange?"

"It's an ice river valley!"

Hearing this, Yan Zhaoge became interested: "Oh, an ice river valley, here?"

At this moment, the climate in the Luliang Mountains was extremely hot, and the appearance of an ice river valley naturally caught Yan Zhaoge's attention.

The black-clad figure replied: "Yes, it is indeed an ice river valley, and it is very large, not naturally formed."

"However, when we discovered it, it seemed to be undergoing some changes, like an earthquake."

With the Ten-Leaf Golden Orchid in hand and nothing else to do, Yan Zhaoge said: "Lead the way, let's go see."

The group moved forward through the mountains, and the weather became cooler the further they went.

This was not due to a change in climate; the Luliang Mountains were always as hot as a steamer at this time of year.

Yan Zhaoge understood that they were getting closer to the ice river valley.

After walking for a while, despite the scorching sun overhead, a noticeable chill could be felt in the air.

Ah Hu walked to the edge of a cliff and looked into the distance, finally exhaling a long breath: "Sir, we're here!"

Yan Zhaoge also walked to the cliff edge, and before him was a massive canyon, but what was unusual was that the entire canyon was completely covered in ice!

The winding river valley, stretching for dozens of miles, was like a world of ice, resembling a white dragon lying in the dense forest.

The cliffs of the river valley were covered in crystal-clear ice, shimmering with blinding light under the sun, making it painful for ordinary people to look at, almost blinding them.

Outside the river valley, the primeval forest was lush and green, with ancient trees blocking the sky, but inside the river valley, it felt like an instant transition from mid-summer to severe winter, the stark contrast exuding an eerie atmosphere.

Yan Zhaoge observed for a moment, then led the way down the mountain: "Let's go in."

At the entrance to the valley, it was clear that a violent tremor was occurring inside, originating from underground.

The group entered, and before them was a world of ice, with transparent giant glaciers like smooth mirrors reflecting their figures.

Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu walked at the front, and when they reached the center of the river valley, a massive ice lake appeared before them.

Beneath the ice lake, dark currents surged, and the sound of dragon roars could be faintly heard.

Yan Zhaoge gazed at the lake for a moment, then looked around the river valley, muttering to himself: "This place seems to be the burial ground of a frost dragon. In such a scorching environment, it has formed this strange ice river valley."

"The dragon's bones have generated a soul, and someone has disturbed the ice dragon's bone soul, causing the area to become unstable and undergo changes."

Hearing this, Ah Hu's eyes sparkled: "Ice dragon bone soul? Sir, this is a good thing."

Then, he rubbed his large hands somewhat embarrassedly: "But Sir, if it's really an ice dragon bone soul, it might require a Grandmaster to collect it. What should we do?"
