"Who are you people, daring to trespass on the Tang Sect's sacred ground!"
"According to the thirty-second rule of the Tang Sect, you have chosen a path to death!"
A Disciple dressed in Tang Sect attire rushed over from a distance, his face a mix of shock and fury.
He had clearly sensed the disappearance of the multicolored poisonous miasma outside the valley and had come specifically to investigate the situation.
"Noisy."
Fang Yang glanced at him indifferently, not even making an extra movement.
A chilling white Qi emanated from his body.
Wherever the cold Qi passed, tiny ice crystals condensed in the air, and the ground was instantly covered with a layer of white frost.
Before the Tang Sect Disciple could react, he was completely frozen.
He maintained his forward-rushing posture, the astonished expression on his face solidified into eternity, turning him into a lifelike ice sculpture.
Gu Yuena stood quietly to the side, not a ripple in her purple eyes. To her, the life and death of such an ant were not worth her attention.
Fang Yang's expression was calm, merely brushing away a speck of dust.
He turned to Gu Yuena and said indifferently, "Let's continue."
The two continued towards the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The closer they got, the more they could feel the strange aura of ice and fire intertwined.
On the left, cold springs were shrouded in white mist; on the right, scorching pools steamed with red Qi. Two diametrically opposed energies coexisted miraculously here.
"Who are you?"
A clear, cold female voice suddenly rang out, her presence felt before she was seen.
A figure abruptly appeared before the two. She wore a purple robe, her features dignified, her demeanor elegant, and her calm face now held a hint of wariness.
Immediately after, six more figures appeared behind her, each glowing with different colors, transformed into human forms.
It was the six great plant Vicious Beasts, led by the Delightful Tulip, joined by the Blazing Apricot Delicate Softie, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, Black Jade Divine Bamboo, and the Autumn Water Dew of Insight.
The foundation of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, having developed over countless eras, meant that the most top-tier plants here already possessed strength not inferior to other Spirit Beasts.
The Delightful Tulip's gaze swept over the frozen Tang Sect Disciple, her heart slightly chilled.
She looked gravely at the uninvited guests, sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Fang Yang and Gu Yuena.
Especially the man; though he stood there casually, he instinctively made her heart palpitate.
"This is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and outsiders are not welcome." The Delightful Tulip spoke in a deep voice, and the five great Immortal Herbs behind her simultaneously released their pressure.
The plants throughout the valley swayed in response, emitting streams of light.
"Oh?"
Fang Yang's lips curved slightly, with a hint of mockery, "You say we are outsiders. When did this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well become something with an owner?"
"Presumptuous! This Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is inherently the territory of our plant race!" The Blazing Apricot Delicate Softie had the most volatile temper, and scorching flames had already ignited around him.
"Interesting."
Fang Yang's eyes turned cold, "Being a dog for the Tang Sect for too long, you can't tell your master anymore, can you?"
A terrifying aura was released from him, a tangible pressure instantly enveloping the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Under this pressure, even space began to subtly distort.
The six great Immortal Herbs all changed color. Under this pressure, they found it difficult to even stand.
The Delightful Tulip suppressed the fear in her heart, gritting her teeth and asking, "Who exactly is Your Excellency? Why do you forcefully trespass on our territory?"
Gu Yuena's voice was clear and cold as ice: "This Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was originally a wonder of heaven and earth created by the Dragon Clan."
"You are merely later inhabitants; what right do you have to claim sovereignty?"
Her voice was soft, yet it carried an undeniable authority that made the six great Immortal Herbs tremble.
The Delightful Tulip's expression drastically changed: "You... how do you know this secret?"
Even the Tang Sect was unaware of this truth; how did this woman know?
"I am the Silver Dragon King."
Gu Yuena calmly stated her title.
As the words "Silver Dragon King" were uttered, the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well fell into sudden silence.
The six great Immortal Herbs, upon hearing this, had faces full of disbelief.
The Delightful Tulip's pupils contracted sharply. As the longest-living Immortal Herb, she naturally knew what that title represented.
That was the co-ruler of Spirit Beasts, one of the Dragon God's Clones!
"Alright, enough with the reminiscing."
Fang Yang's cold voice rang out, "Now let me send you on your way."
He raised his hand, and above his palm, a chilling white flame silently ignited.
The flame had no temperature whatsoever; instead, it emitted an extreme cold that could freeze the Soul.
"Absolute Zero."
As Fang Yang's words fell, the chilling white flame transformed into an invisible wave of ice, instantly spreading out.
Wherever the wave passed, space seemed to freeze, and time paused at that moment.
The six great plant Vicious Beasts, along with their main bodies rooted there, were completely sealed within eternal, unmelting profound ice within a fraction of a second, their life forces extinguished.
In an instant, the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was completely frozen.
The valley, which had previously been vibrant and full of life, was now covered in a deathly, pure white.
The six great plant Vicious Beasts, along with their Immortal Herb bodies, had transformed into six ice sculptures of various poses.
The rich life Qi and herbal fragrance permeating the air were also dispelled and frozen by that absolute cold.
Only the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well itself continued to flow, unaffected.
Fang Yang slowly withdrew his hand, and the chilling white flame silently disappeared into his palm, as if it had never appeared.
He looked at the instantly frozen area, his eyes indifferent, like a Divinity looking down on dust.
Just then, two ancient and powerful auras suddenly emerged from the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
One was scorching hot like the sun, the other cold as the moon. The two auras intertwined, forming a peculiar resonance.
Gu Yuena slightly raised her head, a ripple flashing in her purple eyes: "Have they finally awakened?"
In the depths of the spring, two massive phantoms slowly emerged.
One was entirely ice-blue, its scales as clear as crystal, emitting a chill that made the Soul tremble.
The other was entirely crimson, its scales hot like molten lava, surrounded by scorching energy fluctuations.
It was the remnant Souls of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, slumbering here!
"Your Majesty..."
Two ancient voices simultaneously rang out, filled with incredible excitement and reverence.
Their phantoms hovered above the spring, emitting a terrifying Dragon's might.
Gu Yuena gently nodded: "It is I."
"After years of waiting, we finally welcome Your Majesty's return."
The Ice Dragon King's voice trembled, "Since the fall of Lord Dragon God, our two remnant Souls have slumbered here, never for a day forgetting the ambition to revive the Dragon Clan."
The Fire Dragon King followed, saying, "Sensing Your Majesty's aura, we immediately awoke."
"However, our remnant Soul power is less than one-tenth of what it was. We could not greet you from afar; please forgive us, Your Majesty."
"No matter."
Gu Yuena responded calmly, her gaze, however, turned to the still flowing ice and fire spring water, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, our Dragon bones are buried beneath this ice and fire spring water."
The Ice Dragon King explained, "This Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was formed by the fusion of the divine force we released when we fell."
"Now that Your Majesty has returned, everything here should be at Your Majesty's disposal."
"Good."
Gu Yuena nodded slightly and slowly walked towards the edge of the spring.
