Chapter 1187: Snow Seal
Bai Xue gave Luo Xue a command, then no longer looked at the people surrounding her. Her body transformed into a streak of green light, shooting skyward, rapidly heading towards the mountain peak.
The few subordinates under Bai Lei had long since adopted their battle stances. Seeing that Bai Xue actually ignored their obstruction and wanted to forcefully proceed to the mountain peak, their expressions simultaneously darkened. They immediately launched an attack on Bai Xue, wanting to forcibly keep her there.
But just at this moment, thick, goose-feather-like snow suddenly began to fall above their heads. As the attacks of the several individuals touched these snowflakes, they rapidly melted away, utterly unable to resist, let alone break through these strange snowflakes to stop Bai Xue.
The one who suddenly made a move was none other than Luo Xue, undoubtedly.
The expressions of the several individuals changed drastically. They had not expected the seemingly frail Luo Xue's strength to be so formidable, easily dissolving their attacks.
“Dancing across the heavens, a desolate expanse. ”
Just as they felt immense shock in their hearts, Luo Xue, wearing a smile, softly spoke. Her graceful figure danced elegantly in the air. The falling snowflakes suddenly became denser, and the accumulated snow on the ground seemed to come alive at that moment, swirling towards the several figures in the sky.
The several individuals knew that these snowflakes were certainly not ordinary snow, but rather Luo Xue's means of attack. Therefore, none of them were careless, preparing to unleash their methods of resistance. However, the swirling snowflakes were incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, a powerful storm formed. Before the individuals could successfully unleash their self-rescue methods, their bodies were enveloped by this storm of snowflakes.
Not long after Luo Xue departed, in just a few breaths of time, the scene of falling snow blanketing the sky disappeared, and the storm formed by the snowflakes also rapidly dissipated, coming and going swiftly.
As the snowstorm scattered, the figures of the individuals were revealed. Each of them was covered in a thick layer of accumulated snow, their faces indistinct. Only the outlines of their bodies could be made out. If it weren't for the strong life fluctuations still emanating from them, they would undoubtedly have been mistaken for lifeless snowmen.
Their bodies were frozen motionless in the air. Although their postures varied, they all appeared poised to unleash their techniques. From this, it was clear that faced with the snowstorm, they hadn't even had time to deploy their self-rescue methods before their bodies were rapidly sealed by the snow, turning them into their current state, unable even to revert to their true forms.
In the small courtyard below, Bai Jiumeng's parents and younger sister were stunned by the scene before them. Before, they had only thought Bai Xue must be a formidable character. They hadn't expected Luo Xue, who didn't seem particularly powerful, to be so strong.
“Dad, Mom, are they. . . are they all dead? ”
The younger sister swallowed, asking timidly.
“Of course not, they’re just sealed in place, forcibly fixed in the air. Didn’t you think to first sense if they still had life fluctuations before asking such a question? ”
Meng Ma glanced at her younger sister, grumbling impatiently. Her mood was already sour, and for her younger sister to ask such an idiotic question made her mood even worse. Her tone, of course, wasn't going to be pleasant.
The younger sister secretly made a face at Meng Ma and then remained silent. Meanwhile, Meng Ba said with an incredulous expression,
“All of Young Master Lei’s subordinates are Great Demons without exception. To think this woman wiped them out in one fell swoop so easily is truly astonishing. Could it be that she has also entered the Demon King realm? ”
Meng Ma nodded quickly, agreeing strongly with Meng Ba's statement.
“I also think there’s a ninety percent chance this woman has entered the Demon King realm. Otherwise, how could she unleash such formidable power? ”
The couple both believed Luo Xue was a Demon King, based on her formidable strength. However, they didn't know their guess was wrong. Luo Xue was actually still in the Great Demon realm and had not yet entered the Demon King realm. The reason she possessed such formidable strength was that her true form was a snow demon, and Snow Fox Mountain was perpetually covered in snow. Being in such an environment, Luo Xue's abilities received a significant boost. Furthermore, the demon art Luo Xue employed, "Thousands of Miles Snow Seal," was an incredibly powerful demon art. Coupled with the fact that Luo Xue's cultivation level was already above that of the other individuals, these factors combined allowed her to instantly transform them into snowmen.
“Should we try to save them? ”
Meng Ma asked Meng Ba. As she was indecisive about whether to save them or not, she threw this difficult question to Meng Ba, letting him decide.
Meng Ba looked at Meng Ma, a helpless expression appearing in his eyes.
“You just had the nerve to scold our younger sister. Before President Bai left, she explicitly told that woman to only trap them, not kill them. That means those individuals are currently just sealed in their bodies, not in mortal danger. Why would they need us to save them? ”
Meng Ba paused slightly here, then continued,
“Besides, even if we were willing to save them, neither of us has the strength. Although the power fluctuations emanating from the snow covering them are very weak, if this power were truly weak, how could it trap them? Think carefully, isn't that the case? Even these Great Demons are trapped, do you think we two have the ability to break the restraints on them and release them? ”
Meng Ba's words were blunt. Meng Ma bristled with anger but couldn't retort, because Meng Ba was indeed making sense, and she, too, realized she had asked a very foolish question. So, even with anger in her heart, she could only force herself to hold it back without erupting.
“Then what do we do now? Should we go to the mountain peak? ”
Meng Ma asked, looking completely indecisive.
“Of course we must go to the mountain peak! If Jiumeng truly stirs up some big trouble on the peak, do you think we can hide from it by not going? Our troubles will find us all the same. Let’s hurry to the peak now and see what’s happening. If it has nothing to do with Jiumeng, all the better; we don’t need to do anything and can quietly retreat. But if it does concern Jiumeng, then you and I might be able to stop her from making bigger mistakes! ”
Meng Ba spoke with an anxious expression. Meng Ma heard his words, found them reasonable, and nodded quickly.
“Then why are we still standing around? Let’s go quickly! It might be too late otherwise! ”
Meng Ma said, as if to prove her words were true. No sooner had she spoken than earth-shattering explosions once again echoed from the summit of Snow Fox Mountain.
Only this time it wasn't just one sound, but several successive roars. The couple looked up towards the mountain peak, where white clouds churned and power spread. It was clear at a glance that a great battle was currently underway!
This sight caused the couple's expressions to change drastically once more.
“Little sister, stay home and don’t wander off. Your mother and I will be back soon. And there’s one thing you absolutely must remember: do not, under any circumstances, approach the area where those individuals are sealed by snow. Your strength is still too weak; getting too close might cause you harm! ”
Meng Ba instructed, then led Meng Ma towards the mountain peak.
After Bai Xue left Bai Lei’s subordinates to Luo Xue, she rushed to the summit of Snow Fox Mountain at the fastest possible speed. Although the summit was still a considerable distance from Bai Jiumeng's home, for a Demon King like Bai Xue, this distance could be covered in a mere few breaths.
It was precisely because it would not take much of her time that Bai Xue did not use spatial tearing for transportation.
After a few breaths, Bai Xue arrived at the summit of Snow Fox Mountain.
From below, the summit of Snow Fox Mountain appeared like the tip of a sharp blade, seemingly not very large in area. However, upon reaching the summit, one would realize this assumption was wrong. The summit of Snow Fox Mountain was actually quite expansive, and atop it, there were numerous quaint, ancient buildings systematically spread across various areas.
Furthermore, the spiritual energy at the summit was the most concentrated, far exceeding the secluded area of Bai Jiumeng’s home.
However, neither the beautiful scenery of the summit, nor the various ancient buildings, nor the dense spiritual energy were what captured Bai Xue’s attention. Upon reaching the summit, her gaze was first drawn to a colossal white fox with five tails.
The white fox wore a fierce expression, surrounded by several men and women. Some of these individuals appeared quite young, while others were already middle-aged. They encircled the white fox, continuously launching attacks. The white fox did not passively allow their attacks to land; it occasionally spat out green light, sometimes opened its mouth to bite at its targets, and at other times lashed out with sharp claws, blocking each incoming attack one by one.
Aside from the white fox and the individuals attacking it, a group of people also stood in front of an ancient building. These individuals also varied in age and included both men and women. They did not participate in the battle but watched the fierce struggle from afar.
Although all these people were watching the spectacle from a distance, their expressions and reactions were not the same. Some were calm and unperturbed, their faces still as a deep well; some had ugly expressions, their eyes blazing with fury; and others were filled with anxiety, their eyes brimming with worry.
Bai Lei and Bai Chen, who had appeared earlier at Bai Jiumeng’s home, were indeed among them. However, Bai Chen’s face was filled with anger, while Bai Lei’s was filled with concern.
