Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao-Chapter 1358 - 100: Mu Qingyan

If we stay any longer, unknown dangers will inevitably arise, not caused by the peril here, but seemingly due to some unique rules in the underworld.

Staying, enjoying, will encounter the crisis of destructive Fury.

So, after sensing danger looming, Zhou Yan once again embarked on his journey forward.

This time, Zhou Yan, Yanyan, Hou Chen, Liu Haoxin, and others continued their journey without encountering any danger, except for the increasingly cold chill. There were no other threats in the Ten Thousand Soul Void.

The road was very quiet, and Zhou Yan could not see Hua Qiudao’s group ahead.

That group had already vanished.

It seemed as though they hadn’t even set foot on this path.

But Zhou Yan knew that Hua Qiudao’s group had come here, and had long set out on their journey, leaving Zhou Yan and his group far behind.

Zhou Yan and Yanyan pressed forward, and Zhou Yan noticed that Yanyan’s face was gradually turning pale, her gaze becoming hollow and lifeless.

Zhou Yan was taken aback, immediately wanting to inquire with Yanyan, but then he recalled the words she had spoken earlier.

"Father King, ... when the time comes, ensure you’re prepared..."

Zhou Yan’s mind trembled slightly, as he gravely spoke: "Yanyan, do you already know the situation here?"

Yanyan’s eyes brightened slightly, carrying a unique sparkle.

She nodded and said, "Father King, as we proceed like this, in three days we will reach the end of the Ten Thousand Soul Void.

At that end, there is a snow peak.

On the snow peak, there’s a frozen coffin, and inside it is... Mother."

Yanyan spoke with a slightly sorrowful expression. Although she hid it well, Zhou Yan still sensed the momentary pain and sorrow in Yanyan’s eyes.

Zhou Yan’s heart sank, as he raised his head, seemingly seeing the end of the Ten Thousand Soul Void, seeing the void of the Desolate Domain, seeing the snow peak, seeing the ice carving on the snow peak, seeing the familiar and suffocating person inside the ice carving.

Zhou Yan was momentarily stunned, then interrupted by Yanyan’s words.

"Father King, don’t think too much, after three days, when we arrive, we will naturally see everything."

Yanyan sighed as she spoke.

Zhou Yan snapped out of the unique vision he seemed to have seen and felt his heart twitch uncontrollably, a feeling of indescribable unease began to form in his heart.

He couldn’t fathom why Mu Qingyan would be in the ice carving, why she would be at the end of the Ten Thousand Soul Void.

But regardless of what he thought, Zhou Yan knew this was certainly not a good situation.

Zhou Yan’s face became more solemn as he looked into the distance, silently taking Yanyan’s hand and walking forward with her.

Yanyan possessed the Heavenly Fire Physique, with various unique physique abilities, yet at this moment Zhou Yan noticed Yanyan’s hand was growing colder and seemed to be undergoing abnormal changes.

Zhou Yan was very worried, but Yanyan gave him a faint smile, reassuring him with a glance.

Zhou Yan had many things to say, but with Yanyan acting this way, he had to respect her thoughts.

Zhou Yan did not ask further, just held Yanyan’s hand and led the group forward.

Three days is neither long nor short.

After three days, without any danger, Zhou Yan’s group arrived at the end of the Ten Thousand Soul Void, where Heaven and Earth were void and barren.

Nothing existed and nothing could possibly exist.

Heaven and Earth were an empty scene, like reaching the end of life with Destruction, nothing remains.

This scene gave all the Summoned a similar feeling.

But in the empty firmament, a snow peak stood.

On the snow peak, there was a huge ice carving.

Inside the ice carving, frozen, was a person Zhou Yan was exceptionally familiar with, a woman who suffocated him.

This woman was Mu Qingyan.

She seemed to be sleeping within the ice carving, exceptionally tranquil and serene.

Even asleep, she maintained an incredibly pleasing posture, inviting admiration yet provoking desire.

Upon seeing Mu Qingyan for the first time, yearning burst forth uncontrollably, but he restrained himself.

Because comparatively, Yanyan’s hand grew colder.

And Yanyan’s emotions became more intense and harder to calm.

"Father King, if Mother changes, remember, you must kill her. Do you hear?"

Yanyan suddenly spoke.

"Yanyan, what are you saying."

Zhou Yan responded in surprise.

Immediately afterward, Zhou Yan’s heart jolted violently, realizing that something bad was happening.

But at that moment, Yanyan’s hand, which had become extremely cold, suddenly erupted with terrifying flames power.

The flames power released an Eternal sealing force that enveloped the defenseless Zhou Yan.

Not only Zhou Yan, but also Hou Chen, Sisi, Qian Xi, Qian Yao, and everyone around Zhou Yan.

Thereafter, Zhou Yan’s heart sank to the extreme.

He first thought of his companions’ betrayal, but this thought was extinguished before it fully formed.

Because Yanyan could never betray, and connecting Yanyan’s earlier anomalies and his own uneasy feelings, Zhou Yan’s heart filled with constricting sorrow.

He knew something terrifying was about to transpire.

Indeed, in the moment Zhou Yan realized it, Yanyan charged toward Mu Qingyan, using the Life Fire, the essence of Purple Flame, to strike at the ice carving.

But this scene was blocked by Hua Qiudao.

"If you care about me, get out of the way. Otherwise, I’ll hate you for the rest of my life!"

Yanyan spoke bluntly.

Hua Qiudao’s figure stood still in the void, and finally, silently moved aside, making way for Yanyan.

"Even so, Hua Qiudao, I still won’t like you. I prefer..."

Yanyan didn’t finish her sentence but suddenly flew towards the ice sculpture.

The ice sculpture and the flames exploded violently, then Yanyan’s body began to shrink, as if regressing through time.

In a matter of moments, Yanyan transformed from a graceful young girl into a naive little girl of three or five years old.

But this was not the end.

Because at this point, the ice sculpture also melted.

Mu Qingyan awoke, but her eyes flickered with a dazzling blue, eerie light.

Yet, Yanyan ignored it, kneeling before Mu Qingyan.

"Mother, Yanyan has been unfilial."

Yanyan spoke.

Mu Qingyan’s long hair abruptly splayed out wildly, growing incredibly long instantaneously.

Flying like a Black Mountain, an inky black, Soul Suppressing Tower-like mark appeared on Mu Qingyan’s forehead.

After this mark appeared, Mu Qingyan’s eyes shone with blinding blue light, and a sword appeared in her palm. An ice-blue sword!

As this sword appeared, Zhou Yan had already self-detonated his Soul Sea to escape Yanyan’s control, frantically charging towards Yanyan.

But this sword, this blue light sword, suddenly pierced through Yanyan’s forehead.

Yanyan’s body was thus penetrated through the forehead by that sword, then frozen by Cold Ice Power, falling before Mu Qingyan.

"Ah—"

Zhou Yan roared, his blood boiling furiously, instantly becoming a demon, transforming into a Fury Blood Demon Demon Heart Monster, all power and the fury of the Blood River manifesting within.

But Yanyan, after falling into the void, sank into an unknown space and disappeared.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yan, already maddened, charged towards Mu Qingyan.

Yet Mu Qingyan merely waved her hand, the void collapsed, and Cold Ice sealed everything.

Even Hua Qiudao was directly frozen, powerless to resist.

Afterward, Zhou Yan was frozen by Cold Ice, suppressed on the spot. Even those beside him, like Hou Chen, Zhou Sisi, Zhou Gucheng, experienced the same fate.

Zhou Gucheng, eyes wide with rage, had a terrifying will that trembled the Cold Ice but could not break free.

At this moment, Mu Qingyan was already adorned in an ice-blue gauze dress, wearing an ice-blue crown on her head.

She looked coldly at Hua Qiudao. Hua Qiudao trembled, shattering the ice covering him, breaking free.

"Your servant pays respect to the king."

Hua Qiudao, with all his pride, knelt in absolute submission before Mu Qingyan.

Mu Qingyan nodded and said, "From now on, you shall be the Merit Star Lord under my command."

"The eight beside you shall be your subordinates, crowned beneath you."

"As for Zhou Yan, leave him for you to spar and refine."

Mu Qingyan spoke emotionlessly.

Then, she looked at Zhou Gucheng, who was struggling and said, "Ant, do not defy fate. I dislike your kind of maddening will, so..."

So, there was no ’so.’

Because at that moment, an ice-blue sword suddenly pierced Zhou Gucheng’s forehead.

Zhou Gucheng’s eyes abruptly froze, his eyes bulged out, and then he turned into an ice sculpture, falling into the void, disappearing.

As if a furious energy struck Zhou Yan’s heart, Zhou Yan unleashed the power of self-destruction, yet still could not escape the Cold Ice Power.

And amidst that Cold Ice, not only did one sword kill Zhou Gucheng, but then, that sword also slashed towards Long Xianyin beside Zhou Yan.

Long Xianyin showed no expression, quietly watching the sword, not stopping it.

But at this moment, a hand suddenly emerged from Zhou Yan’s forehead, grabbing the sword.

That hand was Gu Xi’s hand.

Her hand passed through the Cold Ice but did not shatter it.

"Little bitch."

Mu Qingyan said coldly.

"Sister, you are the pinnacle existence of the Eternal Life Tribes, yet you still have become like this for some reason. If one day you awaken, how painful will it be for what you have done today!"

Gu Xi said, her voice filled with endless pain.

"Some things must be done, others must not!"

Mu Qingyan said coldly.

But immediately, her body began to tremble violently as if a force was affecting her emotions and will.

"Bitch, how dare you act presumptuously!"

Mu Qingyan said, suddenly slapping her forehead.

Afterward, her delicate body shivered violently, the tower-shaped mark on her forehead becoming increasingly unstable.
