Lu Qingfeng suddenly opened his eyes and looked out over the river beyond the Soldier Book and Treasure Sword Gorge.
A sweeping frost had overtaken the area; the river had frozen over and a mountainous wave surged forward. Behind this mountainous wave, thousands of frosty ripples rose up into the sky, a truly terrifying sight.
Upon closer inspection, what appeared to be a mountain was actually a colossal black turtle. Its massive body, no less than hundreds of meters in length, was covered with concrete and overgrown with moss and aquatic plants, indistinguishable from a true mountain.
Wherever it traveled, Mystic Ice followed.
"What kind of demon dares to run wild on the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Mountain!"
Lu Qingfeng dashed out, alighting atop the gorge, confronting the ancient turtle from across the Chengyang River.
"Xuan Venerate!"
"Greetings to Xuan Venerate!"
"Elder Changqing, this is the guardian of our sect, the Ancestor Master Xuan Venerate."
