Chapter 173: Inscription

“There seems to be something different on this stone tablet.”

“Isn’t it still the Frost Dragon on it?” Qin Xiaoxi asked.

Jiang Yun thought for a while and then touched the stone tablet with his palm. The stone tablet had been buried in the cave of the Holy Saint Snow Mountain for a long time, so it was always slightly cold to the touch.

“Do you still remember the mural we saw outside?”

“Yes, but the picture on it is similar.” Qin Xiaoxi was very curious.

“Look at the Frost Dragon on the picture, it seems to have a faint evil aura. Look at its eyes, they are completely different from those carving outside.”

After hearing Jiang Yun’s words, Qin Xiaoxi began to observe the murals on the stone tablet.

The Frost Dragon wasn’t very impressive, but its expression was very different. Although it was only a few simple lines, it could depict the Frost Dragon’s eyes in a completely different way.

“Didn’t you say that the people of the Northern Region regard the Frost Dragon as a supreme existence? Why would they portray the Frost Dragon in such an evil way?” Qin Xiaoxi was obviously confused.

“Look at the other people in the picture. They don’t seem to be the people of the Northern Region that we saw before,” Jiang Yun pondered, then placed his finger on the people below the Frost Dragon.

The faces of the people in the picture were all covered, and they wore hoods. They seemed to be surrounding the Frost Dragon, trying to do something.

“These people’s attire…”

The two of them could not help but glance at each other.

However, this was still a bold guess.

Also, the reason the Frost Dragon was depicted as evil on the stone tablet was still a mystery.

“According to the writings here, they are dark messengers from another region. They used the power of the Ghost Realm to corrupt the heart of the god of ice,” Jiang Yun muttered as he noticed the ancient writings on the side.

“They? What exactly are the dark messengers from another region?” Qin Xiaoxi couldn’t help but be stunned. Just by mentioning the words “another region” and “dark messenger,” Qin Xiaoxi couldn’t help but think of the Blood Shadow Sect.

“Do you have the same thoughts as me?” Jiang Yun looked at Qin Xiaoxi with a serious expression.

Then, he read the words at the bottom. “The god of ice sacrificed his life to eliminate this terrifying power, but it doesn’t exist anymore. That’s it?” Jiang Yun read until here, he stopped because he realized that the words on the stone tablet had already ended here.

“Do you think it’s really the Blood Shadow Sect?” Qin Xiaoxi was also stunned.

“I’m not sure, but the origin of the Blood Shadow Sect is unknown, and most people can’t understand their existence. If the words on the stone tablet refer to the Blood Shadow Sect, then the appearance of the Power of Blood Shadow on the mainland this time is probably not an easy thing to solve.

“So, as early as three thousand years ago, the Blood Shadow Sect’s Demonic Claws have already extended their claws towards every piece of land?”

If that was the case, then everything would be troublesome.

Then, He Zhao who appeared a while ago was more of a chess piece. The true mastermind behind the scenes seemed to have already plotted a huge conspiracy.

Jiang Yun could not help but feel a headache when he thought of this.

“So this Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma is formed from the spiritual energy of the Frost Dragon and is used to resist the Power of Blood Shadow?”

“I think that’s about it.” Jiang Yun couldn’t think of a better explanation than this.

“It’s too scary.” Qin Xiaoxi was silent for a long time and finally sighed.

“What’s wrong?”

“If an ancient god could be affected by such a terrifying power, what about ordinary people? The people who fought against the Blood Shadow Sect decades ago were either dead or injured. It seems that the Power of Blood Shadow is not to be underestimated.”

Jiang Yun nodded and agreed with Qin Xiaoxi. Even gods could not withstand such a terrifying power, let alone humans.

At this moment, a strange chill rose from all directions.

Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi both felt waves of coolness. When they looked closely, they saw that the ground was slowly freezing towards where they were.

“What’s going on?”

Jiang Yun frowned and quickly shifted his gaze away from the stone tablet. He saw a person wearing silver armor and a mask slowly walking towards them from where they had entered. As that person approached them, one after another, icicles began to appear on the frozen ground!

The man was holding a huge katana in his hand. It was not an exaggeration to say that the long katana was more than half as long as Qin Xiaoxi’s Yue Maiden Sword.

When Qin Xiaoxi saw this, she pulled out the Yue Maiden Sword from its sheath and a cold light suddenly flashed. Jiang Yun is also staring at this person who is walking towards them step by step.

“Who are you?”

Jiang Yun asked warily.

However, the man didn’t answer. He just held the katana in his hand and approached them slowly.

“Those who trespass into the forbidden land of the Northern Clan shall die!” The man said in a deep voice.

“We are just…” Before Qin Xiaoxi could explain, the man had already picked up the katana and pulled out the scabbard. A dazzling cold light instantly appeared.

“Outsider, you shall die.” The man was like an emotionless machine, holding the sharp blade as he walked towards them.

The next second, the man quickly stepped forward and slashed the katana in his hand vertically. Although the attack did not threaten the two of them, neither of them had expected that this attack would actually create a strong aura.

Countless icicles surged crazily towards Qin Xiaoxi and Jiang Yun along the ground.

Qin Xiaoxi and Jiang Yun had just dodged, then a few fierce icy sword energy came right after. Fortunately, Qin Xiaoxi was agile and easily avoided them without any injuries.

“It’s my turn.” Qin Xiaoxi quickly raised her sword and closed in on the armored man in an instant, followed by a few flashes of sword light and sword shadows. However, Qin Xiaoxi had not expected that this seemingly clumsy man, was also agile.
