“Then, I’ll have to kill you. Lin Yun, I’m so sorry.”

Song Junming seemed a bit distressed and his tone was very helpless. A blue light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly restricted Lin Yun’s movements.

Feng Ke struggled to stand up from the ground and held Lin Yun’s hand tightly, standing side by side with him. A warm current came from Feng Ke’s hand and flowed through his entire body. Lin Yun found that he could move now.

“Hehe… Actually, I’m just a Demon Race soldier who happens to have a good master. I wouldn’t dare to actually fight the Phoenix Race princess. Who knows what their little princess would be carrying on her to defend herself with the Phoenix Race’s heritage.”

Song Junming was suddenly full of smiles and explained, “Why am I talking nonsense with you guys? Because I’m stalling for time while waiting for my master. Unfortunately, he has already arrived.”

As soon as Song Junming said that, blue snowflakes suddenly drifted in the sky. At the same time, the temperature in the surroundings rapidly dropped, and many trees were frozen and turned into a strange blue color. A layer of blue snow quickly piled up on the fallen leaves in front of them.

An invisible pressure quickly enveloped Lin Yun’s heart, and there seemed to be an extremely dangerous demon staring at him. In a split second, a figure slowly rose from the blue snow on the ground. It had a medium build, with long blue hair and blue eyes, and it bore a slight resemblance to Song Junming’s temperament.

When this middle-aged man scanned over, Lin Yun felt as though his body was being brushed by a cold wind, causing him to feel cold.

“I, Ren Xue, wish to invite the Princess of the Phoenix Race to visit my planet.”

Ren Xue was actually the Planet Master of the Demon Race’s Blue Snow Planet! Lin Yun knew that in the Demon Race, the master of a planet was called a Planet Master. A Planet Master was akin to the overlord of a human planet and was an existence as devastating as a Planet Master Refiner!

Feng Ke looked calm and said indifferently, “Can I refuse it?”

Ren Xue smiled slightly and said elegantly, “Princess, don’t make it difficult for me. If you and your lover visit my planet as guests, I can make the decision to allow you two to get married. I believe that given his status, it would be impossible for him to be with you at all if nothing goes wrong.”

He looked at Lin Yun teasingly and curled his lips up. “And I love to be someone’s accident.”

Feng Ke’s expression changed and actually seemed to be somewhat moved. However, her expression then became calm again. She said coldly, “You want to threaten my father through me? It’s no use. There are still elders in the Phoenix Race, and Father alone doesn’t count.”

“Hehe… Princess Feng Ke, I just want to invite you to be a guest. You must not refuse, or I will be very angry.”

As soon as Ren Xue said that, countless blue snowflakes appeared from his body and swirled around him. A biting cold aura suddenly erupted from his body. This extreme coldness gave one a kind of endless deathly terror. It seemed that this severe cold could freeze everything in the world, including resplendent life.

A hint of this intense coldness from Ren Xue’s body had already made Lin Yun and Feng Ke tremble. There was no doubt that if Ren Xue were to erupt this aura, the two of them would be completely frozen by this deathly cold.

Just as the two of them could nearly no longer tolerate it, a warm wind blew from behind them. This wind seemed as warm as the summer sun, warmly dissipating the cold from the two of them. An amiable voice was heard from behind Lin Yun.

“As the Planet Master, I’m afraid you’re demeaning yourself by oppressing two juniors with your aura like this.”

Along with this voice, a middle-aged woman came from behind Lin Yun and Fang Ke before she blocked their way. This woman was wearing a red glazed dress and held a crystal-clear crystal longsword, looking around her early thirties. As the woman approached them, the deathly world, which had originally been covered in blue snow, transformed into a paradise. The space around the woman was just like spring blossoms blooming, and there were no longer blue snowflakes pouring in.

The woman’s eyes scanned Feng Ke and Lin Yun. When her gaze landed on Lin Yun, she let out a cold snort. With a straight face, she said angrily, “I’ve already complained to the chief that it’s not an easy job to watch over the young lady.”

“Aunt!” Feng Ke’s expression quickly turned clear and ran over to her, pulling onto her hand and greeting her happily.

Lin Yun looked at the not-so-tall figure beside Feng Ke and solemnly respected her. This middle-aged woman was actually Feng Ke’s aunt. In other words, she was the one who could block Feng Ke’s Skynet access. In that case, how many stars was she as a Skynet user? How strong was she?

Instead of catching up with Feng Ke, her aunt looked at Ren Xue and said calmly, “Judging from your strength, it seems that you are not a Planet Raider yet.”

Ren Xue’s expression remained the same and was still full of smiles. “I’ve yet to become a Level 3 Planet Master Refiner.”

Planet Raider? Planet Master Refiner?

Lin Yun’s heart was already like boiling water, constantly surging. “From Ren Xue’s words, we can tell that Feng Ke’s aunt is at least a Level 2 Planet Master Refiner. Although I don’t know what a Planet Raider is, this Ren Xue is definitely on par with Feng Ke’s aunt, which means he’s equivalent to a Level 2 Planet Master Refiner. It’s too rare for me to actually see a Level 2 Planet Master Refiner within one day! Then, why did they come to this small planet?”

Ren Xue suddenly stretched out his hand and a blue snowflake flew out like a blade. The snowflake seemed to be floating slowly and could be picked with a stretched hand, but it arrived in front of Lin Yun in an instant. This great contrast between its speed caused Lin Yun to be hit before he could react. The blue snowflake was already attached to the area between Lin Yun’s eyebrows.

Lin Yun instantly lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

“Lin Yun!” Feng Ke shouted anxiously before grumbling angrily. “Aunt, why didn’t you stop him?”

The middle-aged woman said with a blank expression and indifferently, “Stop him? Stop him from saving your lover?”

“Yes, this piece of Sleeping Snow is to save him. If your lover heard the content of our conversation, your beloved aunt would have to silence him.” Ren Xue’s voice was kind and his tone was flat as he explained.

Feng Ke’s aunt did not retort, seemingly silently acknowledging Ren Xue’s words.

“My name is Ren Xue. I have yet to ask for your name, your Excellency.” Ren Xue cupped his hands and gave a salute.

“Phoenix Race, Feng Wu.”

“I’ve been disrespectful. It turns out you’re a direct descendant of the Phoenix Race. I wonder what Senior Feng Wu is doing on this planet?” Ren Xue carried the elegance of an aristocrat in his actions and words, completely failing to see the cruelty and tyranny of an ordinary demon.

Feng Wu snorted and said disdainfully, “Why do you need to ask when you already know?”

Ren Xue chuckled and replied, “In that case, we might as well share what we have gained with each other. This way, neither of us will be at the losing end. Then, I will speak first. I came here for an opportunity in the Blue Sea Forest.”

Feng Wu looked calm and continued, “This opportunity is related to Hong Bo.”

“In a meteorite fall five years ago, a trace of godly weapon aura was accidentally leaked from Hong Bo Ancient Tomb,” Ren Xue said again, looking at Feng Wu calmly.

This had also been discovered by the Demon Race. Feng Wu was shocked, but her tone was flat. “But there’s actually a strange layer of seal in the Hong Bo Ancient Tomb.”

“Those from the Demon Sanctuary all came here to give it a try, but they couldn’t open this seal. Fearing that humans would discover them, they secretly buried a pawn here.” Ren Xue smiled slightly and looked at Feng Wu.

Feng Wu snorted and rebuked in a loud voice. “There’s no need for humans to bury a pawn, as this place is already an area controlled by Skynet. You demons are so brazen as to want to taint our human ancestors’ relics.”

Ren Xue did not seem displeased, and he said with a slight smile, “Don’t get angry. We might as well continue. Recently, this seal has disappeared without warning. At the same time, the aura of the godly weapon emanated from here.”

“Hmph.” Feng Wu didn’t answer but looked at Ren Xue coldly.

Ren Xue smiled slightly and mumbled to himself, “As everyone knows, Hong Bo had two relics before he died. One is his sword, and the other is a mysterious crystal.”

Feng Wu’s face turned grim and she started frowning.

“The aura of this godly weapon is similar to the mysterious crystal in the records. I painstakingly bypassed the Skynet surveillance and smuggled myself to this planet in order to obtain this crystal. As for you bringing the Phoenix Race Princess here, it’s so that she can obtain this opportunity, right?” After Ren Xue finished speaking, he looked at Feng Wu with a slight smile.

Feng Wu said coldly, “That’s right. That godly weapon is the secret to Hong Bo becoming a Spiritual Master. Who else can match it besides the young lady of my race? I didn’t expect you to be so cunning. You openly hired poachers to dig graves here, but behind that, you arranged for spies and even came here yourself. What a way to do one thing under the cover of another matter!”

“Hehe… You’ve overpraised me.” Ren Xue didn’t seem to hear the sarcasm in Feng Wu’s words and continued, “I didn’t think that the poachers would easily dig up Hong Bo’s grave. However, the godly weapon had vanished without a trace. I originally thought that you humans had obtained it, but now I’m relieved. Your words and expressions have fully told me that the godly weapon was not obtained by humans. Otherwise, Miss Feng Ke would have been protected by the elders of your family.”

It turned out that Ren Xue’s words, which seemingly divulged information, were actually a surreptitious inquiry about the godly weapon’s whereabouts. Feeling that she had been tricked, Feng Wu was very furious. An apocalyptic aura suddenly erupted from her side. Under this aura, Ren Xue’s blue snow world shrank rapidly. It seemed that in the next moment, it would disappear completely.

“I’ll advise you to calm down. If you have a fight with me here, let’s not talk about the damage caused to this planet. Under the battle aftermath, will Princess Feng Ke be safe and sound?” Ren Xue looked calm and said slowly.

Feng Wu’s aura suddenly disappeared, but her expression became gloomier. She snorted. “Ke’er, bring this brat with you. Let’s go!”

“Hold on. Feng Ke can go, but Lin Yun must stay!” Ren Xue said in a clear voice.

Feng Ke was in a flurry and protected Lin Yun closely behind him, looking at Ren Xue with a cautious face.

Ren Xue smiled slightly and said, “Lin Yun stays behind for you to live. If he goes with you, he’ll die without a body.”

Ren Xue’s words shocked Feng Ke. She looked at her aunt’s indifferent eyes and sighed deeply as she recalled her family’s situation. She had to admit that Ren Xue’s words were not wrong. Given Lin Yun’s status, together with her relationship with Lin Yun, the elders of her family would not allow Lin Yun to survive, let alone the Dragon Race. If Lin Yun went back with herself, he would surely disappear mysteriously and die without a body.

Feng Ke clutched Lin Yun’s hand while he was unconscious as if she had placed something in his hand. Then, she slowly looked up and said, “Then please take good care of him.”

Feng Wu felt slightly moved. Despite wanting to say something, she hesitated and sighed deeply.

“Don’t worry. We demons are not as distrustful as you guys.” Ren Xue nodded gently, which was considered a promise to her request.

Feng Ke reluctantly let go and was dragged away by her aunt. In this Blue Sea Forest, only Ren Xue, his disciple, and the unconscious Lin Yun were left.

Ren Xue was still smiling elegantly as he said to Song Junming, “Go open Lin Yun’s hand and take out that pill. The Phoenix Race’s princess is really rich and generous. She’s willing to remunerate with a spirit pill for the life of an ordinary kid. Use this spirit pill. It’ll be useful for your cultivation.”

“Yes, Master.”

Song Junming replied respectfully, walking up to Lin Yun and opening his hand.

Lin Yun’s palm was empty. Were there any spirit pills?
