893 -17: Hunter and Prey_2

Fortunately, Gu Qingyan’s timely reminder meant that the people from Night Spirit Valley and Wind Gate averted their eyes immediately.

If they startled this mysterious beast, even Frost Soul Sect would not be spared.

Originally, a Great Power of Frost Soul Sect was slapped to death by this mysterious beast; blood and bones scattered in all directions, frightening countless people.

Soon, the beast’s pupils turned cold as it watched the three large ships pass by.

Without making eye contact, the beast indeed did not attack.

Just those eyes alone were enough to send shivers down everyone’s spine, let alone others, even Gu Chen felt his heart palpitate.

If it really attacked, his only option would be to activate the cosmic cauldron and escape with Gu Qingyan at the first opportunity.

Afterward, having survived several dangers, they finally arrived safely at their destination—Mysterious Ice Island, a place filled with various opportunities and precious natural treasures.

“We finally made it,” Gu Qingyan breathed out, a fine sheen of sweat beading on her pale forehead.

Luckily, before setting out, the sect master of Frost Soul Sect, Mu Han, had briefed her thoroughly on everything about Mysterious Ice Island.

Not far ahead was a massive island, which seemed to be an island but Gu Chen knew was actually a realm with an extremely vast area.

After such a long period, the people of Frost Soul Sect had only explored less than a quarter of it.

Mysterious Ice Island was bitterly cold; the entire island, an unblemished expanse of blue crystal, appeared to be crafted from flawless ice.

According to the founding ancestor of Frost Soul Sect, the island itself was an extraordinary treasure.

Regrettably, no one was blessed enough to take it with them.

The tri-millennial emergence of Mysterious Ice Island was extraordinarily beautiful, with various ice sculptures adorning the island.

Soon, the three large ships docked at the shore, and Gu Chen and the others disembarked.

“Big brother, how is it?

Can you stand the temperature here?” asked Gu Qingyan with a concerned look towards Gu Chen.

The temperature here was incredibly low, insurmountable by celestial realm martial artists of insufficient strength.

Furthermore, as one ventured deeper, the temperature would drop even lower.

Not even the mightiest could reach the island’s end to fully witness the mysteries of Mysterious Ice Island.

Fortunately, Frost Soul Sect’s members were all well-adapted to this environment and thrived here, unlike outsiders.

When people from Night Spirit Valley and Wind Gate set foot on the island, they furrowed their brows.

No wonder Frost Soul Sect dared to let them advance together despite knowing they had joined forces.

Here, the combat power of Frost Soul Sect’s members would be significantly boosted.

In contrast, the others would be somewhat weakened.

The weaker cultivators couldn’t survive here for long, let alone seek out fortunes.

With this in mind, the expressions of both Night Spirit Valley and Wind Gate’s camps turned grave.

Just as Gu Qingyan was about to lead the members of Frost Soul Sect deeper into the island to explore, a loud shout suddenly came.

“Halt!”

Among the Wind Gate group, a man dressed in blue attire, tall with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and bushy eyebrows, glared coldly at Frost Soul Sect’s people.

This man, the Holy Son of Wind Gate named Ding Dai, was nearly thirty years old with a celestial realm great perfection cultivation.

It was he who had just called out to Gu Chen and the group from Frost Soul Sect.

Meanwhile, among Frost Soul Sect’s ranks, one man named Lu Hao stood within the crowd, his eyes offering a cryptic smile as he watched the scene unfold.

Every so often, his gaze would land on Gu Qingyan’s graceful figure, his eyes turning particularly fervent.

“Soon, I will take your primordial yin right here!” boasted Lu Hao inwardly, filled with pride.

None in Frost Soul Sect would have thought he’d betray them.

At this moment, in his eyes, Gu Chen and Gu Qingyan, as well as all members of Frost Soul Sect, were nothing but prey for him, Wind Gate, and Night Spirit Valley!

After long planning, this day had finally come; victory was within sight, and Lu Hao trembled with excitement, barely able to contain himself.

Hearing Wind Gate Holy Son Ding Dai’s voice, Frost Soul Sect’s members looked solemn, their energies primed and ready to act.

At that moment, Night Spirit Valley’s Yaksha Clan too wore sinister smiles, advancing steadily towards Frost Soul Sect’s group along with Ding Dai and the rest from Wind Gate.

“Hand over the information about Mysterious Ice Island and I will let you go,” bellowed Wind Gate’s Holy Son, Ding Dai, his frame large and imposing.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyan chuckled coldly, frost covering her beautiful face, “Hand over the information and let us go?

Do you think I’m so easily fooled?

If I give you the information, you, Ding Dai, would probably turn on us in an instant!”

Gu Chen stood by his sister’s side, silent, letting Gu Qingyan take the lead.

Wind Gate Holy Son Ding Dai, powerful and esteemed among the younger generation in this realm and ranking highly among the holy sons, looked at Gu Qingyan, who was merely at the early stage of celestial realm, and said sternly, “Considering you’re a weak woman, I’ll be generous and not hold this against you.

I’ll give you one more chance to hand over the information.

Otherwise, do not blame me for being rude and causing Frost Soul Sect’s lineage to end here, all of you dying on this island!”

Then, a man from the Yaksha Clan of Night Spirit Valley stepped forward with a sneer, “No, no, no, we can’t kill everyone, we had an agreement—the women must be left for me.”

Having said that, he stretched out his slender tongue and licked his lips, his gaze turning to the female disciples of the Frost Soul Sect, especially when he looked at Gu Qingyan, his pupils filled with burning desire.

Sensing this, Gu Qingyan’s fair face grew even colder, and she made a resolute decision, “Brother Luo, prepare to strike!”

“Okay!”

Amidst the crowd, Lu Hao let out a loud shout and boldly made his move, raising his hand to deliver an Ice Palm.

But instead of aiming at the opponent, his target was surprisingly Gu Qingyan!

“Brother Luo, have you gone mad?!”

Witnessing this scene, the Frost Soul Sect disciples were shocked, believing that Lu Hao had lost his mind.

Otherwise, why would he attack Gu Qingyan?

To prevent the leakage of information and to avoid tipping off Lu Hao, Lu Mingyue and others were unaware of Lu Hao’s betrayal.

At this moment, they were equally shocked and incredulous.

“Hmph!”

Lu Hao’s expression was fierce, his eyes cold and disdainful.

He showed no mercy, exerting his full strength.

His hands shot out, emitting a freezing chill, aiming to immobilize Gu Qingyan in one strike, leaving her at his mercy.

Whoosh!

However, at the critical moment, Gu Qingyan, as if having anticipated this, flickered beautifully.

She swiftly moved sideways, dodging Lu Hao’s determined blow just in the nick of time.

“Hm?!”

Seeing his attack miss, Lu Hao was taken aback.

Clearly, this was not what he had anticipated, and it surprised him.

Ding Dai from Wind Gate, along with the Yaksha Clan from Night Spirit Valley, also furrowed their brows at this unexpected development.

“Brother Luo, you’ve greatly disappointed our master,” Gu Qingyan said to Lu Hao, her emotions somewhat downcast.

Even though she knew Gu Chen wouldn’t lie to her, before Lu Hao truly revealed himself, Gu Qingyan, deep down, harbored a faint hope that perhaps Lu Hao was being coerced.

But now, seeing Lu Hao’s ferocious demeanor, Gu Qingyan understood that this was all voluntarily carried out by her Brother Luo.

“Brother Luo, you…” At this moment, Lu Mingyue and the others were stunned, not understanding how things could have taken such a turn.

The most talented young disciple of the Frost Soul Sect, Lu Hao, was attacking one of his own?!

“What…

what exactly happened here?” Lu Mingyue and the others wore blank expressions, their minds going blank.

That’s when Lu Hao also came back to his senses, and he said in a deep voice, “So you knew already!”

“Indeed.” Gu Qingyan sighed softly, having given up any illusions about Lu Hao.

“I was actually exposed?” Lu Hao’s face darkened, puzzled.

He had thought his disguise was impeccable, so how had he been exposed?

But then, he snorted coldly.

What did it matter if he had been exposed?

On the Extreme Ice Island, he was still the hunter!

“So you know, what of it?

Today is indeed a hunting feast!” Lu Hao, Ding Dai, the holy son of Wind Gate, and the Yaksha Clan of Night Spirit Valley, all had sinister smiles on their faces.

With the strongest combatant of the Frost Soul Sect turning traitor, what could they possibly fight with?

“A hunting feast?”

At that moment, Gu Chen gave a faint smile and stepped forward.

Looking at Lu Hao, he countered, “Then, in this feast, who is the hunter, and who is the prey?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Hao was momentarily stunned, seemingly not expecting Gu Chen to dare step forward at this time and to utter such words.

Ding Dai, the holy son of Wind Gate, and the people of Night Spirit Valley also found this peculiar.

But immediately afterward, Gu Chen’s gaze hardened, and his entire demeanor became more intimidating.

A commanding killing intent radiated from him as he declared in a chilling voice, “Step forward and I will slay you all!”
