"Senior Brother, this?"
One of the elders said, his face full of panic. The sound from just now made even the Nascent Soul stage elders tremble.
"Something big is about to happen!" Elder Tiandao's expression grew even more somber.
"What should we do now?"
"It's no use. The formation is no longer under our control. Whatever we do will be in vain."
Elder Tiandao appeared somewhat disheartened at this moment.
"But I heard that there's a little娃娃 trapped inside, the little娃娃 who broke through on the battle stage before!"
At this moment, an elder spoke up. Clearly, this was the one who had interfered with Jin Yuan earlier, preventing Zhang Ergou from killing someone.
"Alas, it can only be blamed on that little fellow's bad luck, to suffer such undeserved disaster."
Elder Tiandao and the others sighed. They sympathized immensely with Zhang Ergou's plight, yet were powerless.
If it were in the past, they could have entered this ice and snow mountain through the formation and rescued Zhang Ergou.
But now they were helpless, because they could no longer control the formation, as if the incantation had lost its effect.
...
"Old man, you didn't lie to me, did you? Why is there such a big commotion?"
After the secret agreement was reached between the two, Zhang Ergou's address to the elder changed. The elder born from the snow mountain also wore a helpless expression.
Who else could he ask for help, and he had promised to follow this brat for a thousand years and be at his beck and call. Su Dan Novel Network.
As expected, as soon as he got this brat, he immediately revealed his true colors, no longer calling him 'senior'.
"Nonsense, would I lie to you? We are one now, sharing prosperity and adversity. Even if I were to trick you, I wouldn't trick myself."
The elder of the snow mountain said angrily. Was this little fellow too timid? He was scared by such a small commotion.
He was already regretting his choice. Had he been too hasty in choosing such an incompetent person?
It was because no one had appeared in the ice cave for nearly a hundred years that the elder had no choice but to choose Zhang Ergou.
Otherwise, if he missed this opportunity, he didn't know when the next one would come.
Based on the principle of better than nothing, the elder comforted himself.
Zhang Ergou, of course, was unaware of the elder's thoughts. If he had known, he would have burst into laughter.
He was only worried that the commotion would be too big, alerting some old monsters in the inner sect. It would be troublesome if he were discovered then.
"Old man, will we really not be discovered like this?"
Zhang Ergou asked again.
"It's not that I look down on them. Even if all the people of the Misty Sect came here now, they could only watch helplessly."
The elder of the snow mountain had already discovered the presence of Elder Tiandao and the others, but he did not reveal it to Zhang Ergou.
If this brat knew and stopped what he was doing, wouldn't all their efforts be in vain?
Hearing this, Zhang Ergou's heart settled. Following the control incantation taught to him by the elder of the snow mountain, he began to chant.
He had already signed a contract with the elder of the snow mountain. The two were now intertwined. The entire picture of the ice and snow mountain had appeared in Zhang Ergou's mind.
The final contract between them was that Zhang Ergou was the master, and the elder of the snow mountain was his subordinate.
The elder of the snow mountain had also wanted to be the master, but this brat Zhang Ergou refused. They had haggled for most of the day before finally reaching this agreement.
Seeing Zhang Ergou's smug look at the end, the elder of the snow mountain was so angry.
"Old man, I'm going to shrink you next. The commotion will be quite big, so you have to pay attention to anyone coming around."
Zhang Ergou was fully focused on controlling the incantation and had no time to notice what was happening outside.
The elder of the snow mountain readily agreed. This brat was quite cautious.
However, fortunately, when Lu Tianqi and the others had trapped the snow mountain, they had also added an illusion to the mountain-trapping formation.
If they couldn't get in, outsiders wouldn't be able to see the changes inside.
This was why Elder Tiandao and the others outside were at their wits' end upon hearing the rumbling sounds. They thought the ice and snow mountain might be moving for some reason.
But they never expected that this snow mountain would collude with Zhang Ergou to escape the control of the formation.
Receiving the elder of the snow mountain's affirmative reply, Zhang Ergou no longer hesitated. He chanted the incantation, floating in mid-air.
"Rise!" Zhang Ergou shouted.
Rumble!
With a deafening roar, the snow mountain rose from the ground. Zhang Ergou quickly rode his flying sword and continued to fly towards the higher void.
...
"What's wrong? Why do I feel the ground shaking? Are some powerful beings fighting?"
The inner sect elders gathered outside were in a panic. The commotion of the snow mountain rising from the ground was too great. Even with the concealment of the formation, the tremors were transmitted out.
"This is bad! I feel like this place is going to collapse!"
As the snow mountain moved, the surrounding land was naturally affected. Accompanied by rumbling sounds, a distant mountain collapsed without any warning.
"Look there!"
Soon, someone noticed something unusual. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, their eyes widening in shock.
Rumble!
As if a chain reaction had been triggered, as that mountain collapsed, the surrounding peaks began to collapse one after another.
"Is the sky trying to destroy our Misty Sect?"
A timid elder exclaimed, naturally drawing a round of eye-rolls from those around him.
What's the big deal about a few peaks collapsing? Any one of them here could easily collapse a few peaks with a single strike.
The man blushed and remained silent.
"Sister, do you think Zhang Ergou will be alright?"
Unlike others, sisters Chi Yu and Chi Ling were extremely anxious. Zhang Ergou was still in the ice and snow mountain, his life and death unknown.
"I don't know. Perhaps Zhang Ergou is lucky enough to survive."
Chi Yu did not know if she was comforting herself or her sister.
However, judging by her hands, which had already turned blue from being clenched, she was also extremely nervous in her heart.
Chi Ling said nothing further, her gaze fixed nervously on the few people in the sky.
...
"What happened, Junior Sister?"
Some elders from the outer sect also rushed over upon hearing the news. Elders Chunyang Sanren, Qiao Yun, and Wu Dahai, who were familiar with Chi Yu, walked up to them and asked.
"I don't know. Senior Brother Tiandao and the others are investigating. It's said that the ice and snow mountain is showing abnormal signs!"
Chi Yu said with a grave expression.
"Junior Sister, why do you two look so upset?" Qiao Yun noticed that Chi Yu and Chi Ling seemed more nervous than others present.
"Zhang Ergou was sent to the cold ice cave to be punished by Senior Brother Jin Yuan, the peak master of the disciplinary peak, a few hours ago for violating sect rules."
Chi Yu glared at Jin Yuan beside her and said in a low voice.
"What?" Chunyang Sanren and Qiao Yun exclaimed almost simultaneously.
Yan Feng, seeing his senior brothers present, headed over. Along with him were Xia Yang Sanren and Qiu Yang Sanren, and others.
Upon hearing the news of Zhang Ergou being trapped, the three exchanged glances and saw a hint of schadenfreude in each other's eyes.
