Chapter 259: Glacial Lake
Fei Hou and the others also gathered their men during this period of time. After they knew what had happened, all of them were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with killing intent and when the Yellow-Feathered Eagle came, they leaped up one by one, jumping towards its back.
They started to look for Ye Xiao but unfortunately, even after searching the entire Little Orchid Town, they failed to find Ye Xiao.
In their eyes, Ye Xiao was only a Martial King Realm martial artist but in reality, he was much stronger than them. If he wants to hide, who can discover him? No one can!
"Young Master Zhao, no matter how, but you have to bring that brat to us. I will definitely teach him a lesson for what he did. He actually dared to steal our Wind Chasing Horses!" Fei Hou turned at Young Master Zhao and said coldly.
"D-Don"t worry, Young Master Fei, I will definitely find him for you. I will immediately spread my men to look for that brat." Young Master Zhao nodded his head and indicated at a middle-aged man who understood what he wanted to say. That middle-aged man turned back and walked toward the Zhao Family.
"Young Master Fei, don"t worry about that brat. Our main focus right now should be on the Five Thousand Years Old Ice Lotus. There are countless magical beasts inside the lake and the Ice Lotus is said to be deep inside the lake. How will you obtain it?" Young Master Zhao again asked.
This was a serious matter so they returned to the Tavern and started to make plans.
.....
Even after searching for two days, no one was able to find Ye Xiao"s whereabouts.
Now was the time when everyone moved toward the lake. Ye Xiao also leisurely walked toward the lake. Although he pa.s.sed by many people, no one felt his presence.
Wind Chasing Horses were rare beasts and in the Azure Sky Continent, there were very few of these horses.
Ye Xiao was annoyed by the behaviour of those people so he took the Wind Chasing Horses away from the Little Orchid Town and stored them inside the Heavenly Pearl, sending them to the Forest.
The lake was created because of the ice mountain range.
The mountain range was connected in a continuous line, and the snow never melted. However, in the last three years, a change had occurred in this place for some reason. The mountain range disappeared, the snow melted, allowing a large glacial lake to appear.
The glacial lake was several kilometers long and had a large area. Many magical Beasts from before had disappeared, but there were still a few among the glacial lake. And these few magical beasts are all water-type magical beasts.
This was the place where the five thousand years old Ice Lotus is said to be found. It was said that the Ice Lotus was underwater, but so far, not a single person had been able to successfully get their hands on the Ice Lotus.
In the surroundings, many cultivators appeared and many of them were in the Martial Emperor Realm and Martial Ancestor Realm. They were all walking around the glacial lakes but no one was daring to go into the depths.
Some of the experts were eager to give it a try, but after seeing that none of the other cultivators who had entered earlier came up, they all became terrified and stopped in their tracks.
The Magical Beasts at the bottom of the lake were like many little snakes that were swimming around. It was only two meters long, but its strength was great. Not only that, these beasts actually attacked people with sparks of lightning that paralyzes the peoples so that these beasts could eat them easily.
Everyone thought of many ways to lure the Magical Beasts up to the surface, but in the lake, it was their world and there were a lot of these Magical Beasts so they could not really lure them all.
These Magical Beasts are not very strong but they can use lightning. After being hit by lightning, people"s movements will become sluggish and numb, making them unable to face the beasts.
"Screech!"
Suddenly, a high-pitched bird cry rang out, and the sound of wings slapping against each other came from the horizon.
It was the cry of Yellow-Feathered Eagle. On the back of the Yellow-Feathered Eagle stood a few people, led by a young man. His entire body was emitting rays of light, and he had a handsome appearance, which was extremely extraordinary.
"That is… Young Master Fei Hou!"
Everyone raised their heads to look at the sky and cried out in alarm.
"Screech!"
The Yellow-Feathered Eagle released a shrill cry that made people"s eardrums hurt.
The faces of all the cultivators present paled, and they quickly moved out of the way.
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
All the experts jumped down from the back of the Yellow-Feathered Eagle. Lu Kai glanced at everyone, then turned and brought his subordinates to walk towards the glacial lake.
"What is he doing?"
"Could it be that he wants to bring these four people to the bottom of the lake to grab the Ice Lotus?"
Everyone exclaimed, but they did not dare step forward, as Lu Kai"s aura was too strong. His eyes swept across everyone and everyone immediately felt a chill running down their spines.
"This Ice Lotus belongs to me!" Lu Kai said in a cold voice while looking at the lake.
"This Ice Lotus belongs to you? Lu Kai, what big words you have there!" Right at this moment, a heavy voice appeared, and the crowd dispersed to reveal a burly youth.
Behind the burly youth, there were several cultivators following him. Their bodies were emitting overflowing auras.
"Cang Meng, you are here!" Lu Kai did not turn back, but only spoke indifferently.
From the moment he stepped on the road of cultivation, no one knew that he had to fight with Cang Meng once a year, but throughout all these years, Fei Hou had never won, and of course, had never lost either. Both of them had equal strength.
Cang Meng walked forward and arrived in front of Lu Kai. The two of them stood by the lake and stared at the water. Occasionally, one or two Magical Beasts would glide across the lake.
"It"s just a mere water-type Magical Beast, not worth mentioning." Cang Meng raised his eyelids and looked at the magical beasts disdainfully.
Behind him, the crowd was speechless.
It had to be known that these water-type Magical Beasts had already devoured dozens of lives.
This place was originally an Ice Mountain and had not melted for hundreds of years, but now it has become a glacial lake. There is a problem with that."
Another young man walked out of the crowd and directly walked towards the lake"s surface. Behind him, there were only four Martial Emperor Realm Experts were following him.
"Fei Hou, you are here as well." Cang Meng turned to look at the person that just arrived.
"Of course. How can I not come here? We came here at the Little Orchid Town just for the Ice Lotus after all." Fei Hou said.
The three of them stood together as they stared at the lake"s surface.
"I want to take the Ice Lotus." Lu Kai said indifferently as he merely glanced at the water-type Magical Beasts.
"On what basis? This Ice Lotus is definitely mine." Fei Hou did not even raise his head as he asked.
"Have you two forgotten about me?" Cang Meng"s aura became even ferocious as the big sword behind his back started to tremble.
"Are the three of them going to fight?"
"Heavens, these three geniuses are going to fight. They came together in the Little Orchid Town a few days ago. I thought they are friends but now, for an Ice Lotus, they are going to fight."
Everyone"s eyes were filled with light, looking forward to the great battle of geniuses.
The three of them stood in the three directions, making a sign of a triangle. The experts behind them all retreated back as a surge of fighting spirit rose. This was the sign that they were going to attack.
The three monstrous geniuses were very conceited, they did not even put other people and the water-type Magical Beasts in their eyes. They only seem to care about the five thousand years old Ice Lotus and nothing else.
"If you have the ability then just go inside the lake, search for the Ice Lotus, and take it. Whoever gets the Ice Lotus first will keep it." Suddenly, a voice from the crowd of people sounded.
Everyone turned to look at the person who just spoke these words, but they failed to find the person who just spoke.
It was Ye Xiao who gave them this suggestion. He wanted to see if the three young masters would fight among themselves or accept his suggestion.
