Chapter 218: The Path of Creation and Separation, The Heavenly Will Life and Death Game
A black horse galloped swiftly, covering over a hundred li in a short time, leaving its hoof prints behind. As it ascended a hill, Fang Che's heart began to race.
He abruptly reined in the horse and looked ahead with a solemn expression. The dense snow ahead seemed to form a pressure from all directions, bearing down on him.
Fang Che's gaze grew intense.
There was immense danger ahead. The entire world seemed to exert pressure from all sides.
This feeling even reminded Fang Che of the gun from his past life. At that moment, when the gun appeared, there was no place in the world for him to hide.
He finally understood why he had been feeling uneasy on this journey. Where did this inexplicable sense of oppression come from?
"Ye Meng!" Fang Che called out.
Ye Meng immediately approached him, "Young Master?"
"You... leave immediately and go over there..." Fang Che pointed to an area covered in snow and said, "If I remember correctly, that place is a cliff where I originally hunted the Bloodfang Demon Wolf."
"Go over there, hide under the cliff."
"Don't show up unless I call for you."
"If something happens, I can escape from there."
Fang Che's expression was stiff, and his tone was harsh.
"Young Master?" Ye Meng was startled.
"Go!" Fang Che shouted sternly.
His expression was somewhat ferocious.
Ye Meng was taken aback and replied, "Yes."
She immediately turned her horse and galloped towards the indicated area, sensing the urgency of the situation's urgency. As she rode, she gently stroked the horse's mane, erasing any hoof prints.
Despite the heavy snowfall, she urged her horse forward, leaping off the cliff with her horse.
She landed lightly on the snowy ground, immediately striking down her white horse.
In her heart, she apologized.
In an instant, she buried the horse's corpse under the cliff, where the snow was already several feet deep.
With a flick of her hand, the snow swirled and flattened.
She then surveyed the surrounding terrain and flew to the opposite side of the cliff, halfway up the mountain.
She created a simple snow trap at the bend and then hid herself.
If Fang Che escaped from the other side, she could intercept him here. Depending on his approach, if he followed the ground, she would immediately flip over the bend and rush towards the mountain peak, using the trap to block him for a moment before turning back towards the summit.
If he descended from above, she would immediately rush towards the summit, and when he landed, she could use the momentum to fly away, creating a distance between them.
Ye Meng's eyes glanced at a distant mountain, her hands quietly clenching a few thunderbolts.
She hoped... that it would cause an avalanche? Could this freshly fallen snow... collapse?
...
Fang Che rode his horse atop the hill, his gaze intense, sensing the energy between heaven and earth.
The pressure was right in front of him.
However, Fang Che had a feeling that if he turned and ran in either direction, he might die even faster.
He wanted to run back, but he had the same feeling.
Running back would lead to a quicker death.
It was better to face the danger head-on.
At the moment, even if he had to flee, he needed to understand the enemy first.
Fang Che's heart sank.
He was wary of this feeling and activated his Ice-Clear Mind Palace, concealing his aura to the Primordial level.
He donned a hat, slightly altering his face shape, and wrapped his mouth and nose with a large scarf, leaving only his eyes exposed, feigning a 'fear of cold and snow' expression.
He should be fine.
No one would recognize him.
Fang Che took a deep breath, rode forward, and maintained a calm demeanor, as if he hadn't noticed anything.
He grumbled in the wind and snow, "What kind of weather is this? It's too cold..."
"This heavy snowfall is a real pain."
...
Across the way, Sun Yuan and his three companions were trudging through the snow.
These people's cultivation was far superior to Fang Che's, reaching the Imperial Rank. The two guards laughed, "Look at that, even in this heavy snowstorm, there's someone else traveling. It's not just us anymore."
"There's someone else on the other side, probably a different group. We'll meet up if we keep going."
As Imperial Rank experts, their eyes were almost useless in this heavy snowstorm. Naturally, they had already buried the travelers they encountered along the way in the snow.
Usually, traveling in such weather was unpleasant, and killing a few people to vent their frustration was not uncommon.
In other words, whoever was on the other side was as good as dead.
"There are two groups on the other side, not traveling together. They must have split up at some intersection. Haha... now only one is approaching."
After walking a bit further, Sun Yuan sensed that someone was coming from the other side.
He glanced at his two guards, surprised that their cultivation was so much higher than his own.
Divine Perception is so powerful! Sun Yuan flattered, "Your cultivation is truly profound. Only now do I vaguely sense it."
The two smiled faintly.
If not for this opportunity to utilize Sun Yuan, someone of his cultivation level, status, and position would not have caught their attention.
"Brother Sun, that top scholar of the Incubation to Deity Program, the Night Demon, what exactly is your relationship with him? I always feel it's not as simple as it seems."
The two Imperial Rank experts began their interrogation once more.
They had shown great interest in this topic during the journey, asking Sun Yuan about it hundreds of times.
Each time, Sun Yuan had managed to deflect the question.
But now, the topic was brought up again.
Sun Yuan sighed, "I truly don't know him well. I'm just a humble servant. To be honest... considering the Sect Leader's disciples, how much respect could they possibly have for me?"
"Respect for you?"
The two Imperial Rank experts seized upon this topic, "How much respect could they have for you? Does that mean you've met the Night Demon more than once?"
Sun Yuan was caught off guard, "I haven't met him that many times. Since the Sect Leader requested secrecy, we..."
Just then, Sun Yuan's expression changed.
He felt a presence ahead, one that grew increasingly familiar as it drew nearer.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
He inwardly lamented, "It can't be... It can't be a coincidence."
Looking at the heavy snow all around, he thought, "How could we possibly run into each other on the road?"
Sun Yuan's heart sank as he felt overwhelmed. The two Imperial Rank experts frowned at him and asked, "Sun Yuan, what's wrong?"
Sun Yuan shook his head, "Nothing. I just feel like the person ahead seems somewhat familiar."
It was impossible to conceal this fact. In the midst of the unexpected blizzard, their expressions gave them away, especially Fang Che's. He never expected the person across from him to be himself.
As a General Rank cultivator, Fang Che lacked the ability to identify others through Divine Perception. Sun Yuan could only prepare himself in advance.
"A familiar feeling?"
The two Imperial Rank experts laughed strangely, "Could it be the Night Demon?"
Sun Yuan's expression was a mix of laughter and tears, "How is that possible?"
Just then, a black horse appeared through the wind and snow, catching their attention.
A young man in black rode against the wind and snow, approaching them.
Sun Yuan's blood seemed to freeze in his veins.
He didn't need to see the person's face to know who it was!
Indeed, it was Fang Che! Fang Che was also surprised to see his master, Sun Yuan. As a General Rank cultivator, he was far from reaching the Imperial Rank, which would allow him to sense others' Divine Perception from a distance, especially in such heavy snow.
He never expected the overwhelming pressure he felt from the person across from him to be his master, Sun Yuan, one of the Four Great Demon Lords of the Demon Sect. This made sense.
Sun Yuan stood in the middle of the four, his face filled with shock, clearly surprised as well.
Fang Che urged his horse forward and smiled, "Master, is that you? Now that I've confirmed your identity, our relationship is established, and this danger is basically over."
But even if Fang Che's wisdom surpassed the heavens, he couldn't have guessed Sun Yuan's current situation.
"Ahh..."
Sun Yuan quickly gave him a look and said, "Why are you here, you little rascal? Shouldn't you be practicing diligently at home? What are you doing out in this heavy snow?"
He then turned to the other two and said, "This is my little disciple. What a coincidence!"
He hurriedly addressed Fang Che, "Come and pay your respects to the two senior uncles!"
Then he said, "This is Wang Gong, a very important person. Hurry and pay your respects."
Fang Che understood and acted terrified, "Your nephew pays respects to the two senior uncles and Wang Gong. Master, where are you going? Should I accompany you?"
Sun Yuan scolded, "What are you doing here? Always trying to cause trouble. Get lost!"
The master and disciple worked together to get rid of Fang Che.
However, the two Imperial Rank experts and Wang Gong stared at them coldly, seeing through their act.
"Sun Yuan."
One of the Imperial Rank experts hummed, "You just said it was someone you're familiar with. It's not your disciple, is it?"
The other Imperial Rank expert said calmly, "Sun Yuan, with your cultivation at the peak of the Imperial Rank after receiving the Divine Power Bestowal, how can you not recognize your own disciple's aura from such a close distance?"
Sun Yuan asked, "What's so strange about this? He's my disciple, and I feel familiar with him. What's wrong with that?"
"No! It's very strange!"
The Imperial Rank expert said, "Sun Yuan, what are you hiding?"
Sun Yuan angrily replied, "What can I hide? We've been getting along well, haven't we?"
"Getting along well?"
Li Changbo chuckled, his pupils constricting, "Sun Yuan, what exactly are you up to? We truly don't know, but do you think we don't know your original plan was to go to the White Cloud Continent?"
Li Changhe, standing beside him, spoke sinisterly, "Sun Yuan, do you think we don't know you came from the White Cloud Continent? Now, you've been leading us to the White Lotus Isle. What are your intentions?"
"We've been following you in the snowstorm for so long, and you, Sun Yuan, have nothing to say?"
