Chapter 2012 - 11: Xue Ranqiu

"Master, how did it go? Did you meet those two seniors?" Wanyan Yang asked.

Lin Feng replied, "Those two are simply scoundrels. They initially promised that as long as I could break the array, I could meet them. But after I broke the array, they completely denied it and even chased me out!"

Ding Yunzhong said with a bitter smile, "Sir! This is quite in line with the temperament and character of those two ancestors. They’ve lived such long lives, they do as they please and won’t accommodate anyone."

Lin Feng nodded, suddenly reminded of Master Turtle, who shares a similar personality.

Simply like an old rogue, an old slickster.

What they said a moment ago, they’d turn around and deny having said.

So Lin Feng was already used to this.

"What do we do now? Are we going to fail at the last step?" Wanyan Yang asked.

Lin Feng frowned slightly. Zhu Gechenyi and Wen Ziran are both powerful beings at the Giant God Realm. If they could be recruited,

A top-level Spirit Array Master at the Giant God Realm,

An Alchemist at the Giant God Realm,

At that time, the power of Dragon Gate Island would greatly increase.

It might even secure the top position in the Ancient Wilderness Sea Domain, attracting countless strong individuals.

The ideal is beautiful, but reality is extremely harsh.

Although Lin Feng very much wanted to recruit these two ancestors at the Giant God Realm,

Unfortunately, these two are impenetrable, making it hard to find a way in.

Giving up like this feels rather unwilling.

But being unwilling, what else can be done?

Recruiting someone is mutual consent; if they don’t agree, no matter how persuasively you speak in person, it won’t work.

Suddenly, Lin Feng remembered a saying: Know yourself, know your enemy, and you will be victorious in a hundred battles.

He realized he was greatly lacking in understanding Zhu Gechenyi and Wen Ziran.

He looked at Ding Yunzhong and asked, "Ding Yunzhong, do these two seniors have any weaknesses?"

Ding Yunzhong said with a bitter smile, "These two ancestors have no weaknesses; they lack neither cultivation resources nor wealth or magical treasures."

As Ding Yunzhong spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He said, "I just remembered something."

"What is it?" Wanyan Yang asked impatiently.

"Years ago, my ancestor was brotherly with Senior Zhuge and Senior Wen, but they had a junior sister! Her name was Xue Ranqiu!"

Ding Yunzhong said.

"Junior sister?" Lin Feng pondered.

Ding Yunzhong continued, "Many years ago, I heard a senior talk about the past. At that time, my ancestor and the seniors were all very young, and both Senior Zhuge and Senior Wen liked Senior Xue, and Senior Xue seemed to have a fondness for Senior Wen. Once, Senior Zhuge, Senior Wen, and Senior Xue went out to train together, but they encountered danger during this outing. Facing a life-and-death situation, Senior Zhuge risked his life to save Senior Xue and Senior Wen and was nearly killed. Fortunately, my ancestor arrived in time to rescue Senior Zhuge. But Senior Zhuge became one of the living dead, lying down for a hundred years. Later, he found the Resurrection Immortal Grass and barely escaped death, but it’s said that Senior Zhuge was left with an ailment that persisted to this day."

"And Senior Xue knew Senior Zhuge had feelings for her, so when Senior Wen confessed to Senior Xue, she refused him because of Senior Zhuge. But Senior Zhuge never confessed to Senior Wen! The three of them grew old slowly, and now, relationships seem to have become very indifferent, with little interaction."

After hearing this story, Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional.

If not for Zhu Gechenyi’s desperate rescue of Wen Ziran and Xue Ranqiu in the past,

Perhaps,

Wen Ziran and Xue Ranqiu might have ended up together?

Of course, Lin Feng knows that there are no ifs in this world.

What’s happened, has already happened.

Time won’t reverse back.

...

Lin Feng asked, "Where is this Senior Xue, do you know?"

"Listening to the elders say that she’s secluded on Immortal Snow Island, about seven or eight days from here!" Ding Yunzhong said.

"Alright, let’s go to Immortal Snow Island and meet Senior Xue!" Lin Feng said.

Then the three returned to the Xuanyuan Ancient Starship.

...

The Xuanyuan Ancient Starship leaped into the void and departed.

Immortal Snow Island is located closer to the South Pole Ice Field.

As they delve deeper into the South Pole Ice Field,

The temperature gets increasingly lower.

And the sea surface starts to freeze.

The temperature at Ice Snake Island is about minus 2,890 degrees.

But now Lin Feng and the others have reached a place below minus 5,000 degrees, still not within Immortal Snow Island’s range.

"Your elders are quite interesting, why do they all like to seclude in such cold places?"

Wanyan Yang asked.

Ding Yunzhong replied, "Places this cold are deserted and quiet!"

Lin Feng said, "Indeed, such places are quite suitable for seclusion, free from disturbance."

"Roar..." At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly echoed.

Lin Feng, Wanyan Yang, and Ding Yunzhong stepped out of the cabin to look towards the distance, where they saw an enormous snow-white bear.

That bear’s body was overwhelmingly massive, about seven or eight hundred meters long, four or five hundred meters high, completely snow-white, like a polar bear magnified two to three hundred times.

"That’s a South Pole Giant Bear! A dominator level existence in the South Pole Ice Field, incredibly terrifying in strength."

Ding Yunzhong said.

"Roar..."

The sound of dragon roars came from a Snow Mountain Range, and immediately, a giant snow-white dragon flew out.

"South Pole Snow Dragon! Also a dominator in the South Pole Ice Field! These dominator level existences sometimes conflict for various reasons, eventually settling matters through battle!"

Ding Yunzhong continued.

"These two behemoths are both unfathomably powerful.

Lin Feng rubbed his chin and said.

Two colossal beasts roared, shaking heaven and earth, engaging in a battle.

Lin Feng wasn’t interested in watching these two dominators fight.

If these two spotted the Xuanyuan Ancient Starship, they might surround it.

The Xuanyuan Ancient Starship accelerated its pace, rushing far ahead.

Three days later, Lin Feng finally saw Immortal Snow Island. It was enormous, suspended in mid-air.

Snowflakes drifted around the island, and it was draped in white snow.

The Xuanyuan Ancient Starship stopped in mid-air.

Lin Feng, Ding Yunzhong, and Wanyan Yang flew toward Immortal Snow Island.

Upon landing, a group of female disciples flew out from Immortal Snow Island.

Twelve female disciples, all wielding treasure swords, surrounded Lin Feng and the others.

"Who are you to dare trespass Immortal Snow Island! Are you plotting against our island?" A female disciple asked coldly.
