Chapter 112: Encounter with a Beauty on the Road

"Haha, I never imagined Brother Ye Zihan would be in the mood for jokes at a time like this." Chen Yiyan walked over and patted Ye Zihan on the shoulder. He, too, had sensed the situation at the ice city ahead; there was indeed a group of beautiful women active there.

Yan Chen smiled and said, "In that case, let's not delay any further. We should head over and take a look." With that, Yan Chen quickly set off toward the ice city. They were very close to their final destination now; once they passed through this city, they would reach their goal.

Although the snow wolves they had faced were not transcendent-level experts, few, if any, cultivators could pass through them as smoothly as Ye Zihan and his group had. It was an incredibly difficult feat, especially considering the thousands of snow wolves that posed such a massive threat.

Ye Zihan nodded, then led Mo You slowly toward the ice city. To Ye Zihan, this particular city felt different; it was neither as dilapidated nor as ruined as the ones they had passed previously, appearing almost perfect.

Ye Zihan used his divine sense to probe the presence of the female cultivators ahead. There were about a dozen of them inside the city, and they seemed to be admiring the scenery rather than lingering for any specific purpose.

Yan Chen was the first to enter the ice city. It was ten miles in width and length. Even though it was uninhabited, its design mirrored that of the towns in the outside world, giving the place a unique atmosphere.

"They are flying toward us. I wonder who they could be?" Ye Zihan muttered, noticing that the female cultivators had taken flight in their direction. Furthermore, they seemed to be carrying a hint of hostility—a chilling prospect, as these women appeared quite formidable.

Yan Chen chuckled and said, "Since they are already coming, let's go meet them." He stepped forward, knowing there must be a reason for their presence here. One thing was certain: they were not residents of this place, but outsiders just like them.

Yan Chen and Ye Zihan were nearing their destination, and the appearance of these female cultivators was truly baffling. It was highly irregular to encounter young, beautiful women in such a cold, frozen world, and they had no idea what these women were trying to achieve.

"Cultivators ahead, halt your advance. This is the order of our Young Mistress." The approaching women quickly warned Ye Zihan’s group to stop, stating they were acting under their Young Mistress's orders to block their path.

Yan Chen smiled and replied, "Are you female bandits? You don't look like bandits to me. You are fine young ladies; wouldn't it be better to just find someone to marry when you grow up, rather than engaging in highway robbery?" Yan Chen wore a satisfied, harmless smile, though he found the women's behavior quite overbearing.

What surprised Ye Zihan most was not their behavior, but the fact that these women had all reached the Five Elements Realm. This was no small feat. Although they were not particularly old, they were all stunningly beautiful, making their bandit-like conduct all the more jarring.

"Who says we are bandits? You have a lot of nerve speaking to our people like that!" Just then, a purple figure appeared in the sky and descended rapidly toward them.

Soon, the purple-clad figure landed gracefully in front of them. She was a beauty with long, shapely legs, and even her loose purple robes could not conceal her charm.

Yan Chen looked at the woman in purple and smiled. "We are merely passing through. Is it not a bit excessive to force us to turn back? This seems highly irregular." Yan Chen was not a man of lecherous intent, but he felt compelled to greet the woman.

"May I ask the lady's name?"

"Su Zi," the woman in purple replied coldly.
