Chapter 1289: Chapter 1277: Immortal Monarch Si Ye, The Young Man Seeking Help_1 Chapter 1289: Chapter 1277: Immortal Monarch Si Ye, The Young Man Seeking Help_1 Amidst the flickering golden light, a beautiful, indistinct phantom appeared out of thin air. With just a single finger, she shattered the life-threatening sword light.
“Immortal Monarch Si Ye?!”
Can Hun the Demon General suddenly panicked, and with a mournful cry, he turned around and ran as soon as the phantom took form.
“Spatial Freeze.”
With a slight gesture of the indistinct phantom's right hand, Can Hun was immobilized in an instant, unable to move from his fleeing stance.
“Die!”
With a gentle flick of the phantom's jade-like finger, she unleashed a scorching flame that engulfed Can Hun from above.
“Ah.”
Can Hun barely had time to let out a painful scream before he was burned to ashes by the raging flame.
The crisis between life and death subsided, and the phantom gradually shattered into specks of light. Just before disappearing completely, she briefly looked back with a smile.
In an instant, it was as if the sun, the moon, and the stars had become dim.
Only that exquisitely charming face remained in the world, tempting people to become immersed in its beauty and enjoy the stunning scenery of snow and moon.
Mu Fan held his breath and unconsciously clenched the jade pendant, allowing his fingers to gently trace the shallow carvings on its surface.
When the golden light finally disappeared, he forcefully mustered enough strength to sit down against a tree trunk, took a torch from his Storage Ring, and used its faint light to remove the jade pendant from his neck and closely examine its engraved pattern.
The front of the pendant featured a carving of a celestial maiden.
The likeness of the maiden was similar to the hazy phantom's appearance but with a different face.
*
Immortal Monarch Si Ye, huh…
Why was her divine power sealed in the jade pendant?
Did it manifest in times of life-and-death crises and save his life?
He pondered for a while but found no clues. Then, lifting the pendant once more, Mu Fan stared intently at the vivid carving of the celestial maiden, her serene beauty causing ripples in his otherwise calm heart, unable to settle down.

Not long after entering the Scarlert Mountain Range, he faced a life-threatening situation.
Mu Fan became wary and found a secluded, uninhabited cave to recuperate for a day and night. Only after restoring his Mana did he dare to venture onward into the vast and treacherous depths of the mountain range.
“Roar!”
As he climbed a steep cliff, an angry roar of a monster ape suddenly sounded from up ahead.
His gaze focused at once, and he saw a youth clad in green with inky-black hair clutching his injured right arm as he dashed along the cliff's protruding rocks.
Right behind the young man, a Second-Rank Violent Burst Ape, with its waist soaked in blood from a sharp weapon, had reddened eyes and emitted furious roars, pursuing relentlessly.
“Help, save me!”
Spotting Mu Fan's hiding place quickly, the young man's voice conveyed a sense of vulnerability and urgency.
Mu Fan instinctively tightened his grip on his sword hilt as his keen gaze locked onto the Explosive Ape.
The Explosive Ape had rough skin and thick flesh, and it was vicious by nature, making it almost invincible among Second-Rank Monsters.
Without any injuries, it would be nearly impossible for him to defeat a similar-ranked ape single-handedly.
In the current situation, with its abdomen severely wounded, the excruciating pain sent the ape into an all-consuming rage, making it even more fearsome than usual.
However, its life force was substantially dwindling with the constant loss of blood.
If he could withstand the pressure and stall it for a moment, a fatal blow might not be unattainable.
Making a decision in the blink of an eye, Mu Fan didn't hesitate any longer. Drawing his sword, he used his Shadow Step technique, moving like lightning towards the Explosive Ape.
*
“Roar!”
As the Explosive Ape climbed at breakneck speed along the cliff, it was about to catch up with the young man when it was blocked by a sharp sword's radiance.
Enraged, it screamed and changed its target. With a cold glint in its eyes, it bared its sharp teeth and bit down hard on the chilling blade.
