Chapter 485: Ambush of the Ice and Snow Sacred Ground

High above, the figures of Chu Xin and the others appeared out of thin air.

Xiao Ling’er looked at the boundless frozen lake below and smiled, “Water Dragon Lake, we’ve arrived.”

“Sister Ling’er, that’s not right. It should be called Ice Dragon Lake.”

Chu Xin looked at the white frost, tilted her little head, and said with a puzzled expression.

“Yes, it should be called Ice Dragon Lake.” Chu Chen also nodded his little head repeatedly, agreeing.

“This should be the work of the Ice and Snow Sacred Ground. They should have already reached the core area of Water Dragon Lake.”

Zhu Laojiu raised his head and looked into the distance, saying in a grave tone, “We need to hurry. From the looks of it, the Ice and Snow Sacred Ground has sent a lot of people. If we’re too slow, the Water Dragon Crown might be taken by them.”

Jin Laosan hesitated for a moment and said, “Since the Ice and Snow Sacred Ground has sent so many people, should we wait for the people from the Aotian Empire to gather before going? Otherwise, with just the few of us, it’s impossible to snatch the Water Dragon Crown from dozens or even hundreds of Ice and Snow Sacred Ground disciples.”

“That makes sense!”

He Laowu nodded in agreement.

Zhu Laojiu turned to look at Chu Xin and Chu Chen, saying, “With these two little ones here, they’re worth at least twenty Half-step Divine Disciples. We do have a chance of winning.”

Wang Lanxi frowned. She didn’t want her granddaughter and grandson to take risks. Just as she was about to refuse, she saw Chu Xin and Chu Chen had already flown out and landed on the frozen lake.

“Hehe, it’s still nice and cool here, just like Great Stone Lake.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen jumped up and down on the frozen lake, extremely excited.

“Grandmother, Sister Ling’er, hurry up.”

Chu Xin turned back and waved her hand, then lay prone on the ice, pressing her two small, snow-white hands on the surface and pushing hard.

Whoosh!

Her small body shot out like an arrow released from a bow, disappearing in an instant.

“I’m coming too! Big Sister, wait for me.”

Chu Chen also lay prone on the ice, pushed off, and rushed forward.

The two siblings were both born with divine strength and immense power. No one knew how much force they used in that push, but in an instant, they disappeared from everyone’s sight.

“These two little ones, they never let you relax.”

Wang Lanxi shook her head and quickly followed.

Although the two little ones were much stronger than her, in her heart, they were still just two three-year-old toddlers. She worried whenever they were out of her sight.

“Let’s go.”

Xiao Ling’er and the others also followed.

“Hehe! It’s been a long time since I’ve had this much fun.”

From afar, the happy and innocent laughter of the two little toddlers could still be heard.

“It’s still good to be a toddler, carefree. Even if there are any worries, they’re quickly forgotten.”

Xiao Ling’er looked envious. As the daughter of the Heavenly Sword Domain Lord, from the moment she was born, she was destined to be compared with the prodigies of the other great divine domains.

Over the years, she had been cultivating diligently, not daring to slack off in the slightest. The pressure on her was unimaginable.

“Sister Ling’er, if you had their monstrous talent, you could also be carefree all the time,” Jin Laosan said.

“Scram!”

Xiao Ling’er glared at him and said angrily, “Jin Laosan, if you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute.”

“Hehe!”

Jin Laosan chuckled dryly and stopped talking.

He Laowu pointed at him and said, exasperated, “Your mouth, it just needs a beating.”

“I wasn’t trying to put her down. I was just stating the facts,” Jin Laosan mumbled.

He Laowu sighed and said, “Yeah, if only we had their monstrous talent. Then we wouldn’t have to cultivate so hard.”

Beside them, Zhu Laojiu listened to their conversation, and a strange light flashed in his eyes again. He muttered to himself, “Yeah, if only we had such monstrous talent.”

◈◈◈

“Zhu Laojiu, what are you mumbling about?”

Xiao Ling’er didn’t hear clearly and asked with a puzzled expression.

“Nothing,”

Zhu Laojiu shook his head and said, “We’re about to reach the core area of Water Dragon Lake. Be careful. There’s no guarantee that the Ice and Snow Sacred Ground hasn’t set up an ambush on the periphery to attack others who want to snatch the Water Dragon Crown.”

“Okay!”

Xiao Ling’er, Wang Lanxi, Jin Laosan, He Laowu, and the others nodded and became vigilant.

Bang! Bang!

Just then, two loud noises came from the ice surface in front of them.

“Hmm? Someone’s been ambushed?”

Xiao Ling’er and the others were startled and quickly sped up.

As they got closer, everyone couldn’t help but feel a little amused.

They saw a huge, towering ice mountain with two small holes in it. Inside the transparent ice mountain, two little figures were embedded, unmoving, blinking their innocent big eyes.

Buzz!

Divine Marks flowed within the two little ones, and a faint golden light emanated from their bodies. Streaks of sword qi and saber light appeared around Chu Xin and Chu Chen, respectively.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the huge ice mountain shattered under the bombardment of the saber light and sword qi, turning into countless ice shards that shot out in all directions.

“Hehe, that was fun.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen landed steadily, patted the ice fragments off their bodies, and smiled happily.

Wang Lanxi, Xiao Ling’er, and the others were speechless. Only these two little ones had such tough bodies. If it were any other two children, they would have been turned into a pile of minced meat in an instant.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Just then, the ice shards that flew forward seemed to hit an invisible wall and were instantly shattered.

At the same time, where the ice shards impacted, the void rippled, and figures appeared.

“It’s the people from the Ice and Snow Sacred Ground. Be careful!”

Zhu Laojiu’s expression changed, and he immediately became alert.

Xiao Ling’er and the others were also startled. So many people were hidden here, and they hadn’t noticed them at all.

If the two little toddlers hadn’t accidentally crashed into the ice mountain and, while breaking free, caused the ice shards to hit the barrier, disrupting it, they might have already rushed in.

Although they didn’t know what kind of ambush lay ahead, it definitely wouldn’t be simple.

“Oh! There are people here.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen also noticed the cultivators in white robes in the air and were startled.

“When did they appear?”

“I don’t know. I didn’t see anyone just now.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen were full of doubts and curiosity.

Meanwhile, the people from the Ice and Snow Sacred Ground who had revealed themselves were also dumbfounded.

The barrier they had set up was very well hidden on this frozen lake. Even true Divine Disciples would have difficulty detecting it. However, it had one weakness: its defensive capabilities were very poor.

But as long as those who came didn’t discover them, they definitely wouldn’t attack randomly and thus wouldn’t notice it.

Relying on this barrier, they had already ambushed several waves of people here, and it had always been successful.

They never expected that this time, it would be broken by two brats in such a ridiculous way.
