Remould the Glory of Sword Art-Chapter 1282 - 188: Blizzards Sweeping Across

"Father!"

"Father!"

Huang Qi and Huang Che stood guard outside the Grotto Heaven, and the Iron Cavalry that followed Marquis Yuanping northward were also waiting nearby. In the recent battle, the Iron Cavalry’s momentum was thwarted, but most did not suffer major injuries... Although the two Cave Heaven Demons were powerful, they were stopped by Marquis Yuanping before they could cause any harm.

Among the twenty to thirty Iron Cavalry, only three or four were severely injured, while the rest could still fight.

At this moment, Marquis Yuanping dashed out from the Cave Heaven Gate.

Huang Qi and Huang Che immediately went up to meet him.

"Retreat."

Marquis Yuanping lowered his voice, uttering just a single word.

The Iron Cavalry immediately retreated far, heading eastward until they reached the top of a Snow Mountain.

"Father, what happened?"

Huang Che couldn’t help but ask. In the previous battle in the Cave Heaven, they seemed to have the upper hand.

From his perspective,

the world suddenly darkened.

And then... their father ordered them to retreat, and they withdrew to their current position.

"A Great Practitioner has appeared."

Marquis Yuanping remained silent for a long time before sighing softly, speaking bitterly.

"A Great Practitioner?"

Huang Qi was momentarily stunned and cautiously asked, "Is it... a Yang God?"

His father had already reached the Twenty Yin God Realms.

Throughout the entire Li Kingdom, there were only a handful of cultivators who could surpass Marquis Yuanping.

Perhaps only the "Fire Master," "Flower Master," or someone like Han Li, who had achieved Great Perfection, could confidently suppress Marquis Yuanping.

"Yes."

Marquis Yuanping nodded.

"Was it the Demon Country Venerable?"

Huang Qi frowned, finding it odd. If there was a Great Venerable guarding this Grotto Heaven, why didn’t he act from the start?

"I couldn’t determine the identity."

Marquis Yuanping shook his head. Even though he was close to Xie Xuanyi for a moment, his Divine Thought couldn’t approach him...

All he knew was that this was a Great Divine Ability User with strength far beyond his own.

At this moment,

Huang Qi and Huang Che exchanged glances, both showing lingering fear and relief.

A Great Divine Power Yang God Realm practitioner had shown up.

Yet, they had escaped with their lives...

"That Great Divine Ability User is rather merciful..."

Huang Che couldn’t help but voice his thoughts, then suddenly realized something was amiss: "Wait, if this Grotto Heaven is occupied by a Yang God Great Cultivator, doesn’t that imply..."

The National Master’s prophecy is very likely true!

This place truly harbors an Undying Spring!

"Indeed."

Marquis Yuanping sighed again: "The National Master’s prophecy is not false, but with the strength of our Iron Cavalry, we certainly cannot complete the task."

Not to mention, they only had twenty to thirty Iron Cavalry.

Even if these twenty to thirty riders all advanced to the Yin God Realm, it would be in vain.

As soon as they stepped into that Great Divine Ability User’s Dao Domain,

they would be instantly slain!

"Father..."

Huang Qi calmed himself, earnestly asking: "What should we do now?"

Continuing to search Li Lan Mountain has lost its meaning.

"Naturally, we must return to the Li Kingdom."

Huang Che subconsciously said: "This Grotto Heaven is abundant with Spiritual Energy and might contain an Undying Spring... If we report this to the National Master, the mission could be considered a success..."

Silence.

A long silence ensued.

The wind and snow howled, and atop the mountain, Marquis Yuanping stood alone.

"That Great Divine Ability User, whom we had never met before, treated us with benevolence."

Marquis Yuanping lowered his eyes, hoarsely saying: "If he had wished, he could have slain the Iron Cavalry along with me, without much effort... He spared our lives. However, if we return to the Li Kingdom and report the matter of the Grotto Heaven, wouldn’t that be repaying kindness with enmity?"

Huang Che was taken aback.

His eldest son, Huang Qi, however, did not show any surprise.

Marquis Yuanping was the most powerful among the Seven Marquis under the Crown Prince.

Years ago, Marquis Yuanping pledged allegiance to Qian State.

When Huang Hao was young, he was noticed by Nalan Xuance and taken under his wing, given the Observation Method and numerous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to aid his cultivation. He was exceptionally talented, progressed swiftly in his cultivation, and soon earned nobility, rising to prominence and success within the Li Kingdom. His rise mirrored that of Chen Chong, who similarly soared under the support of Nalan Xuance, achieving unparalleled prestige... It must be said, Da Li National Master had an exceptional eye for talent; despite his early success, Huang Hao never forgot his allegiance. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Gratitude for a drop of water, repaid with a spring.

Marquis Yuanping spent years serving Qian State, tirelessly laboring and undertaking numerous difficult tasks.

If not for this...

This mission to Li Lan Mountain would not have been assigned to him.

"If we don’t report it, it would be deceiving the ruler, an act of disloyalty."

Huang Qi sighed, reminding them.

"This..."

Seeing this, Huang Che was at a loss for words and regretted his earlier remarks. He obediently stood to the side, lowering his head like a child who had made a mistake, silently waiting for his father and elder brother to make a decision.

"Let me think."

Marquis Yuanping sighed softly.

He stood at the mountaintop, his thoughts swirling with the falling snow, but suddenly he furrowed his brow, letting out a slight sound of surprise.

"What is this..."

Huang Qi followed his father’s line of sight.

In the distance, the snowy ridges of the dragon-like mountains revealed a faint black line, the snow swirling around, the world a vast expanse of white, making this thin black line particularly conspicuous. These black lines moved like flying ants... But their speed was astoundingly fast, and the ground beneath the Iron Cavalry’s feet vibrated slightly.

"Demon Tide?"

Huang Che’s expression turned grim.

That black line... was certainly not real flying ants.

Because of the great distance,

from the mountain where Marquis Yuanping stood, it appeared minuscule, but if a Great Practitioner used Qi Control to reach just above the black line, they would find thousands of Demon Spirits rushing along the snowy mountain ridges with astonishing speed.

The wind and snow howled, the White Mountain trembled.

These thousands of Demon Spirits swept forward like a tide, forming a single black line that surged over the Snow Mountain, followed swiftly by another black line...

A few moments later,

it formed a black wall!

This was a Demon Tide, a sudden and unannounced Demon Tide!

Looking closely, nearly a thousand Great Demons ran rampant through the Snow Mountain, at the forefront of the Demon Tide was a massive white tiger and a small black cat.

"This Demon Tide... doesn’t seem right, does it?"

Huang Qi stared at the distant dragon-like snowy mountain ridges clad in black, his expression dark as he gritted his teeth, saying: "Wasn’t it said that the Li Lan Mountain Territory was desolate and decayed? How has it recently become so lively? Where did all these Great Demons come from?"

The earlier Eagle Falcon Demon, and the Demon Ape, had left a deep impression on him.

But those Great Demons hid within a secluded Ancient Tree Cave Heaven, abundant with Spiritual Energy, having Great Demons was understandable.

But how could there be so many Demon Spirits hidden deep in the Snow Mountains?

This scale of a Demon Tide, its leaders at least at the Cave Heaven Realm... very possibly having advanced to the Yin God Venerable Realm!
