Xue Ziyan stepped forward, disregarding the surprised gazes of those around her, and linked her arm with Tan Yun's right arm, playfully saying, "Brother-in-law, since we have collected the life liquid, let's hurry to the Demon Suppression Divine Tower!"
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes were filled with a murderous intent, eager to eliminate the enemies at the Demon Suppression Divine Tower!
Tan Yun shook his head, looking hopeful as he said, “Everyone, please wait for me for a few days. I want to find out the secret behind why the glacier has turned into an iceberg.”
Since Tan Yun spoke, no one opposed him.
Then, to prevent any powerful demon beasts from appearing, Tan Yun let everyone hide inside the Ice Mountain Cave Dwelling, where the disciples of the divine soul celestial palace had previously concealed themselves.
Inside the cave dwelling.
“Tan Yun, let me accompany you!” Mu Mengyi said with worry, “The ancient glacier is a mysterious and dangerous place, I can’t feel at ease if you go alone.”
“Tan Yun, I’ll go too.”
“Brother-in-law, I also…”
Zhong Wu Shi Yao and Xue Ziyan both expressed their intentions.
Tan Yun smiled brightly, “Mengyi, Shiyao, Ziyan, I will be protected by Old Ape, so I won’t run into any trouble. You all just wait for me to return here.”
“Alright then.” The three women nodded in agreement.
Mu Mengyi gently helped Tan Yun adjust his robe and said, “We’ll be waiting for you to come back, and you must pay attention to your safety.”
“Mm, I will.” After Tan Yun nodded seriously, he looked at everyone in the cave dwelling and said undoubtedly, “After I leave, I will set up a restriction at the entrance of the cave, so no one will discover you all.”
“During my absence, no one is allowed to leave the cave dwelling without permission. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!”
After everyone responded to show their understanding, Tan Yun stepped on his Flying Sword and flew out of the cave dwelling, soon setting up a restriction barrier.
Tan Yun released the heavenly slayer demon ape and landed steadily on its right shoulder, asking, “Old Ape, how much territory can your beast perception cover?”
“Master, I can encompass thirty thousand miles.” The heavenly slayer demon ape replied truthfully.
“Good!” Tan Yun commanded, “From now on, at your fastest speed, release your beast perception while taking me through the depths of the ancient glacier. If you discover anything unusual, let me know!”
“Understood, Master!” The heavenly slayer demon ape responded, starting to release its beast perception while racing out eighty thousand miles of the Ice Valley, climbing mountains and crossing ridges, while conducting a carpet-style search deep into the ancient glacier...
Time flew by, and after nineteen days, it had been four months since the trial at the Battlefield of the Gods began.
In those nineteen days, the heavenly slayer demon ape had taken Tan Yun deep into the ancient glacier for twenty-three million miles.
At this moment, the heavenly slayer demon ape stood atop a towering iceberg that reached a height of one hundred thousand zhang, gazing down at a shocking scene below, confusion evident in its giant eyes.
Tan Yun, who was on its shoulder, felt the same way.
In Tan Yun's line of sight, he saw the icebergs ahead growing at a visible rate. This peculiar scene was the first time he encountered since entering the ancient glacier.
“Old Ape, how many icebergs in the glacier are undergoing changes?” Tan Yun asked.
“Reporting to Master, there are icebergs growing in a span of ten thousand miles!” The heavenly slayer demon ape pondered and added, “Master, I suspect something strange is happening in that ten-thousand-mile ice region!”
“Mm.” Tan Yun said with his sword-like brows slightly furrowed, “Old Ape, use your beast perception to carefully observe which iceberg is growing the fastest.”
“Okay, please wait a moment, Master.” The heavenly slayer demon ape closed its giant eyes, and after a moment, it reported, “Master, nine thousand miles to the north, there is an extremely large iceberg, covering an area of nine hundred miles, standing three million zhang high, and it is still continuously growing!”
