Ah Da's Nine Nether Cold Qi was originally meant to be given to Qing Lin.
However, later on, after Wei Yang obtained two portions of Heavenly Cold Qi from Han Feng, he bestowed one portion to Ah Da.
When Qing Lin saw the Heavenly Cold Qi, she began to dislike the Nine Nether Cold Qi for being pitch-black and ugly. Using that as an excuse, she ended up exchanging with Ah Da, trading the Nine Nether Cold Qi for the Heavenly Cold Qi.
Thus, after going in circles, Ah Da went back to using his old companion, the Nine Nether Cold Qi, while Qing Lin switched to using the Heavenly Cold Qi, which was light blue.
Not long ago, though, the Nine Nether Cold Qi within Ah Da's body caught the attention of the Nine Serene Wind Flame. Under its constant pestering, Ah Da eventually couldn't resist. After struggling for a while, he finally fed the Nine Nether Cold Qi to the Nine Serene Wind Flame.
Actually, there was no need to hesitate about this. Feeding the Nine Nether Cold Qi to the Nine Serene Wind Flame wasn't considered a waste — it was essentially a strong alliance between two powerful forces.
However, since he had only subdued, but not yet fully refined, the Nine Serene Wind Flame, giving it the Nine Nether Cold Qi now would undoubtedly increase the Wind Flame's power, reduce one of his protective trump cards for the future, and lower his chances of successfully refining it later.
But to quickly build rapport and, truth be told, because he had grown deeply fond of the Nine Serene Wind Flame, coupled with its constant coaxing and whining every day…
In the end, Ah Da clenched his teeth, sought Wei Yang's opinion, and after receiving his approval, finally gave the Nine Nether Cold Qi to the Nine Serene Wind Flame.
As for this newly acquired cold energy now, Ah Da didn't dare to feed it to the Nine Serene Wind Flame again.
If he did, that would basically be digging his own grave, deliberately making it harder for himself to refine and devour the Nine Serene Wind Flame in the future.
Besides, since Wei Yang hadn't said anything about this new cold energy, how could he dare dispose of it on his own?
"Ladies, I'll go take care of those corpses over there first."
"Go ahead." Xian'er and Qing Lin nodded.
With that, Ah Da grabbed Tian She's corpse and swiftly flew toward another battlefield.
There were still dozens of soulless corpses there waiting to be cleaned up. Before leaving, Ah Da didn't forget to shoot Du Jiao a glare. Du Jiao blinked, scratched his head, and only then belatedly followed after him.
At this moment.
Wei Yang walked slowly through the air, hands clasped behind his back.
"Brother Yang."
"Young Master."
Xian'er and Qing Lin approached his side.
"Mm." He gave a soft response.
As for whether killing Elder Tian She and the others would offend the Ice River Valley, Wei Yang didn't care.
After all, as long as the Ice River Valley's Valley Master still coveted the Woeful Poison Body, conflict between them was inevitable sooner or later.
Besides, it was just Ice River Valley. Wei Yang believed that before long, they would have nothing to fear from them.
Moreover, this time, it was the Ice River Valley's people who came looking for trouble first, provoking them. Wei Yang could only say — they brought this upon themselves.
Before long.
Ah Da and Du Jiao returned after finishing up the battlefield cleanup.
All the Dou Huang corpses had been collected by Du Jiao — they were his food.
Only the three Dou Zong corpses were kept and brought before Wei Yang.
"Master." Ah Da bowed respectfully.
"Dou Zong corpses are useless to me. Give them to Du Jiao for a feast." Wei Yang merely glanced at the three Dou Zong corpses, losing interest immediately.
If they weren't Dou Zun corpses, he couldn't even be bothered to keep them. He simply waved his hand, directly granting them to Du Jiao.
"Thank you, Great Master." Du Jiao bowed, stretched out his massive hand to grab the three corpses, and grinned happily as he stored them away.
For Du Jiao, these were all precious supplements.
"You've already reached the peak of Dou Zong, so focus on building up your foundation for now." Wei Yang nodded and added, "Once your accumulation is sufficient, I'll summon a Pill Lightning to assist you. As for whether you can break through to Dou Zun, that will depend on you."
"Yes." Du Jiao responded with a muffled voice.
Since Du Jiao could use the power of thunder to purify his bloodline, as long as the Pill Lightning was strong enough and of sufficient quality, his chances of breaking through to Dou Zun were actually quite promising.
"Master." Ah Da then pulled out a large handful of storage rings and respectfully presented them.
These were all spoils taken from the three Dou Zong and forty Dou Huang experts — nearly a hundred in total.
"Sort them out yourself. If you find anything valuable, give it to me. Ordinary stuff, just keep it." Wei Yang waved his hand dismissively.
"Yes." Ah Da nodded and immediately flipped his palm, taking out a jade box and handing it over reverently, "Master, this is a type of natural Heaven and Earth Spirit Cold Qi extracted from Elder Tian She's body. Its power seems to be slightly superior to both the Heavenly Cold Qi and the Nine Nether Cold Qi."
"Oh?" Wei Yang reached out to take the jade box, feeling the bursts of chilling cold seeping from within. His eyebrows rose slightly, and he smiled, "Indeed, this is good stuff. Better than Heavenly Cold Qi."
Wuwuwu~
Suddenly, the voice of the Nine Serene Wind Flame came from within Ah Da's body, carrying a wave of longing once again.
At the same time, the wide black robe Ah Da wore slightly billowed as something inside squirmed faintly, as though eager to rush out.
"Xiao You, behave yourself! Don't act out in front of Master!" Ah Da looked helpless and had no choice but to restrain the Nine Serene Wind Flame while softly soothing it.
"Heh, are all Heavenly Flames this gluttonous?" Seeing this, Wei Yang chuckled and shook his head. This Nine Serene Wind Flame seemed no different from the Death Life Flame — both were endlessly greedy.
Casting Ah Da a glance, Wei Yang warned, "Feed it again, and you can forget about successfully refining it later. At that point, you might as well commit suicide — it'll be quicker and less painful."
"Uh… Master, you're right. I won't feed it anything else in the future." Ah Da answered awkwardly.
Xian'er and Qing Lin stood nearby, smiling as they watched the exchange.
For some reason, Ah Da was extremely fond of the Nine Serene Wind Flame, doting on it almost excessively. Judging by his attitude, it was as if he regarded the Nine Serene Wind Flame as his own child.
But thinking about it, that wasn't too surprising. A Heavenly Flame of this level was a rare spiritual treasure — the best lifelong battle companion one could have. Valuing and loving it wasn't strange at all.
Just like Wei Yang with the Extinguishing Life Flame — he also doted on it, treating it almost like family.
Thinking of this, Wei Yang shook his head slightly, withdrawing his gaze and focusing back on the jade box.
"Affection is fine, but there must be limits. You can spoil it all you want after you successfully refine it. Before that, you'd better stop causing trouble for yourself and making the refinement harder."
As he spoke, his fingers rapidly formed hand seals, placing several layers of seals onto the jade box to suppress the cold Qi within.
Then, with a flip of his hand, he stored it away.
"Master is right." Ah Da forced a bitter smile.
"Brother Yang, where are we going now?" Xian'er asked softly.
"We can't stay here any longer. We're still not strong enough to face the Ice River Valley's Valley Master head-on, so we'll retreat for now," Wei Yang shook his head and said, "Let's go to Fallen God Stream."
"Mm." The others nodded.
"Brother Yang, if we don't find a Rank 7 Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast at the Fallen God Stream, with that peak Rank 6 magic core, I can still step into Dou Zun." Xian'er said gently, "When that happens, we won't have to fear Ice River Valley anymore."
"We'll look for it first. Let's go." Wei Yang didn't say much more.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Their figures blurred into several streaks of flowing light, vanishing from the area.
This stretch of void gradually returned to silence.
As though nothing had ever happened. However, the faint trace of blood in the air and the lingering ripples of energy made it perfectly clear that an earth-shattering battle had taken place here.
This battle had caused Ice River Valley devastating losses.
After all, the deaths of three Dou Zong and forty Dou Huang experts were not something any faction could afford to bear easily.
