He found Huo Xiao and the Fire Lion in an ice cave on the mountain.

Huo Li Lion ran to Chu Shiyu's side and rubbed her head against her clothes.

"Princess, did you lose those people?" Huo Xiao asked.

"We've lost it. I believe it won't come again. It's just that I'm still worried. I can feel a powerful evil aura approaching from behind us. It's the one that's a threat to us."

She sat down and calmed her breathing. Then, Huo Xiao took out a box from his pocket and handed it to her. This is what the princess wants, I have brought it with me. "

"Huo Xiao, thanks for your trouble. Originally, you could have been free and unfettered in the martial arts world. After following me, there were thorns everywhere, making enemies everywhere. Initially, I was somewhat unwilling for you to follow me, because living like this will be very difficult. "

Huo Xiao laughed. "Although I used to live a carefree life, I never felt free. I like to take risks and I'm not afraid of the wind and rain. This... "This is my world, the real me."

Master Chu opened the box. Inside was a piece of glowing purple scale; this was the dragon scale of the Heavenly Master Kingdom.

When she had left the Heavenly Shi Master, she had given Long Lin to Lan'er to take him to a safe place.

After all, Lan'er was only a young woman who worked at the Painted Fox Restaurant, so she wouldn't attract much attention.

If he was not at the Heavenly Jewel Master's palace, it would not be so safe to see him. Furthermore, without the dragon scales, perhaps the palace would be safer.

Only the dragon's scale, the treasure of the kingdom, was responsible for causing a bloodbath.

In truth, her guess was right. After she had left the Heavenly Jewel Master, the palace had indeed had assassins enter. However, they had not found the dragon scale, and had already retreated, not threatening Master Chu.

When Huo Xiao and Lan Er met up, something happened.

Huo Xiao had just obtained the dragon scale from Lan'er when two black-clad men appeared, narrowly avoiding stealing it.

In this crisis, it was the Long Ao Tian from the Hunting Palace that suddenly appeared, saved Lan'er and Huo Xiao, and saved Long Lin.

After listening to Huo Xiao's explanation, Chu Shiyu felt a burst of cold sweat.

She had originally thought that placing the dragon's scale on Lan'er's body would be safer than keeping it in the palace. Who knew that Lan'er had already been targeted?

She owed Long Ao Tian again, who knows how much she would owe him in this life.

Long Ao Tian had helped her too much, no matter if it was out of brotherly affection or something else, he had not harmed her in the slightest.

When the cave was filled with firewood, the only thing one could hunt down in this snowy mountain was the Snow Wolf. After being hunted for several days, it was good enough for them to be able to hunt down a Snow Wolf.

However, the Snow Wolf they had hunted was small, so it had attracted a large number of Snow Wolves to surround and kill it.

A roar came from outside the cave. Master Chu was stunned. Crap!

"It's a Snow Wolf. The wolf pack has arrived after smelling their companion's scent." Huo Xiao was an experienced old Daoist, so he immediately understood what was going on.

Zhu Shiyu sighed, she originally did not want to hurt the pack of wolves, after all, they were all ferocious beasts, and were all used by the palace hunters.

Breaking the thumb ring could make all beasts listen to its commands, and eating it in one gulp felt really uncomfortable.

Although the wolves were ferocious, they weren't so easily injured. If they hadn't provoked them and taken over their territory, they wouldn't have attacked so easily.

She couldn't eat anymore, so she threw a piece of meat to Huo Xiao and said, "Let me try it out and see if I can make them leave."

Chu Shiyu walked out of the cave and saw that it was pitch black everywhere. The snow wolf's eyes shone with a green light as they approached step by step.

She raised her palm above her head and said harshly, "Break the ring, all beasts heed my command. I have been through this road, hurry up and retreat!"

"Aowu ~"

After the wolf pack heard this, they did not seem to want to retreat. Instead, they slowly advanced and approached.

There was still a burning fragrance coming out from the cave and Huo Xiao and Huo Li Shi were still eating the food in big mouthfuls.

She wiped off her sweat and then raised her hand again. She shouted, "I swear in the name of the Hunting Palace that I will not harm you again. Otherwise, I will die under the lightning tribulation and be decapitated. If you still do not retreat, break through the Burning Mantra and ten thousand beasts will help you. If you disobey, you will definitely suffer a backlash! "

After the wolves heard this, some of them cowered and some of them stared straight ahead like tigers stalking their prey.

Then, he looked at the ring on her finger. The light beam was slightly visible as it connected with the moonlight.

After seeing the wolf pack, they slowly retreated.

She lowered her arm and felt a sudden surge of strength in her heart, a rush of air that rose from her throat.

"Pfft ~"

Kneeling on one knee in the snow, she realized that she should not have come here to starve. It was the backlash that had caused her to lose more than half of her strength.

Huo Xiao patted his chest and returned to the cave. There were only a few bones on the ground. He handed a piece of wolf meat in front of her, thinking back to the conflict between the wolves.

Suddenly, he spat it out.

"I can't eat this. Clean it up!"

The next day, two people and a lion walked northward, three deep footprints in the snow.

By the time they arrived at Mt. Mu, she had already broken the clues left by Yu Wuyou, and was unable to find the direction to the Heavenly Spring Mountain.

After walking through the mountain for an entire day and night, other than seeing the tracks of the snow wolf and the ice ape, there were still no other traces.

She was a little depressed, it was because Yu Wuyou did not leave any clues for her. It had already been a few days, and after walking through so many roads, she felt like she was walking through a snowy mountain.

Even if they couldn't walk out of this Wooden Decay Mountain, they wouldn't be able to find the entrance to the Gate of Heavenly Spring.

Huo Xiao pointed at the mountain in front of them and said, "Is there something wrong with that mountain? The top of the mountain is covered in mist, could there be a Heaven Basin Spring? "

Chu Shiyu gazed up at the peak of the mountain and realized that it really was filled with smoke.

If there really was a hot spring, it could dispel the pain of the cold, but if it was a water source, it could also be brought along. Who knew how long it would take to leave this snow-covered mountain?

Master Chu looked at the mountain peak and nodded. "Then let's go. If there is a hot spring, it will be of help to your injuries. Huo Li Shi also needs to rest. After recovering his spirit, we can continue searching."

On top of the mountain peak, there was a deep pool, filled with bubbles and a thick fog.

She sat on the edge of the hot spring and scooped up a piece of water. The water calmed down and she confirmed that it was safe.

She let Huo Xiao and Huo Li heal in the hot spring. She wasn't worried, and even though she had suffered the backlash from the broken thumb ring, she could still recover a few layers in a very short period of time.

However, she felt that this journey wouldn't be peaceful. Since Huo Xiao could protect himself, she wouldn't be distracted with her defenses.

He left the hot spring far behind and gave it to Huo Li Shi and Huo Xiao.

Huo Xiao also saw through her thoughts. In order to prevent himself from becoming a burden, he followed the Fiery Lion into the hot spring.

Chu Shiyu stood on top of the mountain peak and saw a few Ice Apes madly rushing over from afar.

"Not good," she thought. Huo Xiao and the Fire Lion were still in the hot spring.

But they were all wounded to varying degrees, and this interruption was counterproductive.

In order to help Huo Xiao and the Lionheart gain some time, she kissed herself and went down the mountain, blocking the way.

Several Ice Apes circled around him, taking on the stance of attacking.
