Chapter 1873: Chapter 1872: Zither Sword, Seven Mystery Soul Capturing Sound

Wang Ye quickly walked to the long zither, a sly smile of success appeared at the corners of the innkeeper’s mouth.

Then she pulled out a zither string, which slashed towards Wang Ye like a sharp sword.

Wang Ye dodged and flew onto a tree, the zither sword missed, landing on a green stone a hundred feet tall in the courtyard.

In an instant, the stone was neatly cut into two halves.

The Snow Demon, seeing the attack miss, had a look of astonishment flash in her eyes, surprised that this person wasn’t controlled by her Seven Mystery Soul Capturing Sound.

And could evade the zither sword.

It should be known that the zither sword in her hand was very long, approximately a hundred feet long, but the sword itself was very fine, almost invisible to the naked eye.

Even the sharpest-eyed eagle could barely see this zither sword.

"You dare come to my place to stay, I guess you must have some skills."

"But even so, you will hardly see tomorrow’s sunrise."

After speaking, the Snow Demon waved the zither sword in her hand, and the air whistled.

Under the silver moon, upon the white snow, cold light twinkled.

If the zither sword were magnified tens of thousands of times, it would be like a wrist-thick giant snake dancing in the air.

Wang Ye’s expression remained calm as he dodged, leisurely watching to see how much skill this Snow Demon had.

Soon, the black stone a hundred feet tall in the courtyard was sliced into pieces.

Even a room was split in half by the zither sword.

After several failed attacks, the Snow Demon appeared somewhat panicked.

She retracted the zither sword, which was quickly intertwined into a meter-long zither string, inserted back into the long zither.

Then, she inverted the Seven Mystery Zither onto the ground, extended her jade white, slender fingers, and started playing. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

A series of zither notes resounded.

Hundreds of silver-armored, long-sword-wielding phantoms appeared in the silver-white moonlit sky.

And countless sharp swords flew towards Wang Ye.

Looking at those phantoms and flying swords, Wang Ye’s expression remained unflustered, he waved his sleeve.

A mighty wave of energy spread out, soon colliding with the swords and phantoms in midair.

Those swords and phantoms transformed into wisps of smoke and dissipated upon encountering the powerful energy.

Seeing this, the Snow Demon was even more surprised.

The strength of the person before her couldn’t be underestimated.

Then, she retracted the long zither, her red robe fluttering like snow, dissolving into the ground.

A pile of snow remained on the ground, her figure disappearing from the courtyard.

Seeing this, the corners of Wang Ye’s mouth curled into a cold smile, then he closed his eyes, sensing the fluctuations of Spiritual Energy around him.

Though the Snow Demon vanished from the ground, the energy fluctuations emitted from her body didn’t disappear.

Soon, Wang Ye felt energy fluctuations above and then a chilling long sword appeared over his head.

Inside the house, Jiang Xue saw this scene and quickly exclaimed in alarm.

"Watch out!"

Wang Ye, with unparalleled speed, reached out his palm and slapped upward.

"Shadowless Palm~"

Boom~

A massive energy erupted overhead.

With a crack, the silvery-white long sword above shattered upon the palm strike, falling to the ground.

Ah~

Immediately, a shriek was heard.

The Snow Demon’s graceful figure emerged from nothingness, crashed heavily to the ground, and spat a mouthful of fresh blood onto the snow.

The blood-stained snow resembled a delicate, dripping rose.

The Snow Demon felt her energy surge and knew her power was completely outmatched.

However, she had a backer.

Without her backer, relying solely on her strength, it would be difficult to open a shop freely in this town.

She wiped the blood from her mouth, stood up, and with a cold smile said.

"Your power is formidable, but I’ve seen many who were even stronger than you."

"Yet they ultimately didn’t kill me, do you know why?"

The Snow Demon tried to reveal her powerful backer to make Wang Ye retreat.

Wang Ye was not surprised; he had long suspected someone was behind the Snow Demon. With a calm demeanor, he said.

"I don’t know!"

The Snow Demon, hearing this, laughed heartily but then her expression turned cold, and she eyed Wang Ye viciously.

"Because I have someone behind me, the strongest in the Blackwater Secret Realm."

The Snow Demon knew Wang Ye was clever; at this point, he had likely guessed her backer’s identity.

Gazing at the Snow Demon, Wang Ye furrowed his brow, pondering her connection to the Blackwater Secret Mirror’s Alliance Hierarch.

"No matter who stands behind you, it’s futile!"

Saying this, Wang Ye retrieved a White Cold Jade Bottle from his ring, uncovered the lid, and a powerful force flew towards the Snow Demon.

A blinding white light shot from the White Cold Jade Bottle, enveloping the Snow Demon, rendering her immobile, soon transforming her into a blood-red snowflake.

The blood-red snowflake quickly fell into the White Cold Jade Bottle, and Wang Ye gently closed the lid.

"Release me quickly. I am Qin Tianba’s wife. If you offend me, there’ll be no place for you in the entire Blackwater Secret Realm."

An angry voice echoed from the White Cold Jade Bottle.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye’s eyes sparkled, surprised to discover the Snow Demon was Qin Tianba’s wife.

The wife of the Blackwater Secret Realm’s Alliance Hierarch turned out to be a Snow Demon, and one who didn’t blink at murder—a useful leverage against the previous Alliance Hierarch.

"Stay put. If you cooperate, I might spare you."

Wang Ye shook the White Cold Jade Bottle.

Soon, a blue flame flickered on his fingers, dancing beneath the White Cold Jade Bottle.

The temperature inside the White Cold Jade Bottle quickly soared.

The Snow Demon’s power was at its peak in snowy scenes, and she feared heat.

Wang Ye knew a bit about the Snow Demon; her cultivation was divided into three realms: Snow Demon Realm, Black Water Realm, and Ascension Realm.

Should her power reach the Immortal Realm, it would be extraordinarily formidable, allowing her to seize fortunes and wield thunder and fire across the world.

Yet, few Snow Demons ever reached the Ascension Realm.

This Snow Demon’s skills were merely at the Snow Demon Mirror level and still feared flame.

Inside the bottle, the Snow Demon felt the heat wave surging, discomforting, causing steam to emit from her body—like entering a fiery hell—and with a bitter expression, she pleaded.

"Spare me, I will cooperate!"

The Snow Demon begged.

Though the Snow Demon was inherently murderous, her heart remained pure, incapable of deceit.

Seeing this, Wang Ye withdrew the blue flame on his finger.

"Alright, when I need your assistance, I will contact you. Stay here for now."

With that, Wang Ye placed the White Cold Jade Bottle back into the ring.

Inside the house, Jiang Xue’s admiration deepened upon witnessing this, filling her eyes with reverence.

Feeling a surge of safety, she knew having Wang Ye as a protector assured her security.

Wang Ye looked around, seeing the surrounding snow rapidly vanish, and the ice crystals on the trees quickly melt, a frozen mouse fell from the branches to the ground.

Seeing that mouse, a gleam of delight shone in Wang Ye’s eyes.
