Chapter 1671: Chapter 1671: Unable to Use s.p.a.ce
Under such circ.u.mstances, the poisonous snakes would be forced into hibernation, never to emerge again, but what on earth is this medicinal powder that it has such an effect?
“Prince Zhan, what do we do now, should we ascend to the Jade Cloud Mountain Peak?”
Su Tang saw the situation and hurriedly came to Zhan Beiye’s side, asking him in a low voice.
“This… I’ll go ask.”
Zhan Beiye was also undecided, unaware of what Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue were planning to do next. What if more dangers awaited them on the ascent?
Although those guards had mouths like gossipy women, they were, after all, Xiang Qiyan’s men. It was up to Xiang Qiyan to decide what punishment they should receive, and it wasn’t Zhan Beiye’s place to send them to their deaths, right?
“Ask what?”
Just as he was about to seek out Qian Jiyun, he heard Qian Jiyun’s voice and turned his head to look at Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue.
“Are you two preparing… to go up together?” he asked.
Having brought An Jiuyue as well, the implication was clear, the couple intended to climb to the Jade Cloud Mountain Peak together—what else could it mean?
“Pretty much.”
An Jiuyue and Qian Jiyun exchanged a glance and spoke.
“These two really have some skill, huh?”
On the other side, Brother Zhen, upon seeing the ice layer on Jade Cloud Mountain Cliff, overcame his astonishment and remarked with emotion.
“Just lucky, that’s all.”
Gu Qingyu pursed her lips in disdain, refusing to acknowledge that a woman like An Jiuyue had any real talent.
Such a large mountain, so high, and yet she somehow managed to completely ice it over—a feat unheard of before. How did she achieve it, and what is the secret formula of that medicinal powder?
Hearing her words, Brother Zhen glanced at her.
“Do you have such good luck?” he asked coldly.
“I…”
Gu Qingyu opened her mouth but then went silent.
She lacked such ability, but so what? Was An Jiuyue’s skill really that great? If truly skilled, there would be no need for such roundabout methods, no need for the Jade Cloud Mountain Cliff to be iced over, just climb up directly, right?
She was just afraid of death, that’s why she did it, making herself seem so impressive.
“With the entire mountain iced over, can they really harvest the Cold Soul Flower Core? She’s just showing off her own skills, nothing more.”
“Shut up!”
Brother Zhen reprimanded her.
After so many reminders, why can’t she learn her lesson? In the future, when he goes on missions, he definitely won’t bring her along again.
Of course, that’s provided Gu Qingyu can safely return to the Sect without being killed by that group.
In front of the Jade Cloud Mountain Cliff, the royal guards prepared to undertake the climb with Qian Jiyun, all ready for the task. In that moment, however, Qian Jiyun encountered a difficult problem.
“What’s wrong?”
An Jiuyue was the first to notice his hesitation and asked, casting him a sidelong glance.
“I can’t use my spatial ability,” Qian Jiyun revealed.
To be on the safe side, he and An Jiuyue had planned to use the isolating power of s.p.a.ce to climb to the Jade Cloud Mountain Peak, after all, no one can guarantee that all the poisonous snakes were hibernating.
“How come? I can still use my spatial ability.”
An Jiuyue raised a hand in front of the man, focusing her gaze upon it as she spoke.
Suddenly, as if something occurred to her, she looked up at Qian Jiyun. “Could it be because…”
“Most likely,” Qian Jiyun sighed softly.
He had originally wanted to take these guards with them to the Jade Cloud Mountain Peak to teach them a lesson, who would have known.
