"What?!"
"They aren't dead?!"
Upon hearing the faint shouts from below the Extremely Cold Hell, the various Supreme Sect Leaders, who thought the situation was already under control and were about to leave, all had a change of expression.
"If there's a change below the Extremely Cold Hell and it's not as dangerous, wouldn't this guy possibly escape?"
Wu Xiongfei, Jing Haosi, and the Heads of various sects exchanged glances, seeing a renewed determination in each other's eyes.
They had to pursue.
Even if it meant going to the Utmost Blue Wilderness or the Underworld, they needed to see Mu Jinyu's death with their own eyes, and his soul scattered!
Otherwise, if Mu Jinyu survived, it would be a never-ending trouble!
And with their dozen or so Unity Realm experts and five or six Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures at hand, even if they encountered danger in the Extremely Cold Hell, they should be able to resist it and return safely with combined efforts.
Thus, Wu Xiongfei and the others did not hesitate any longer and immediately rushed into the Ice Cave entrance of the Extremely Cold Hell.
"Clack!"
After landing, they found the Extremely Cold Hell to be extremely quiet, even warmer than outside. They all realized that the Extremely Cold Hell had indeed changed and was not as dangerous as before.
"Where did that little bastard flee to?"
Wu Xiongfei's face was grim as he looked at the dozens who had first jumped into the Extremely Cold Hell, asking coldly.
The dozens of people, seeing Wu Xiongfei's livid face, shivered with regret for rushing in so recklessly.
One person, gathering courage, pointed to the ice tunnel ahead and said, "He directly dashed into this ice tunnel and didn't leave this ice cave."
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiongfei and the others paid no more attention to these people and immediately rushed toward the ice tunnel.
...
Mu Jinyu entered the Extremely Cold Hell again, disregarding whether these people would follow him in, and immediately rushed forward upon entering the tunnel.
"Gooji ji…"
At that moment, a strange noise arose as a plump Little Ice Silkworm somehow ended up in front of Mu Jinyu, blocking his path with an angry glare.
"I have no other intentions, not planning to let those Dragon Humans kill them..."
Mu Jinyu knew this Ice Silkworm was highly intelligent and likely had some connection with those Dragon Humans in the central tunnel, so he promptly explained.
Not mentioning the terrifying power of the Ice Silkworm itself, but had it not been for the Ice Silkworm when he was in dire straits, even if he could escape in the end, it would have cost him dearly. Therefore, he was kind to the Ice Silkworm, not wanting it to misunderstand and affect their relationship.
Although he suspected the reason the Little Ice Silkworm emerged to save him that day was likely because it smelled the dragon's scent and wanted to gobble up the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse just like it had with the Hanchi Dragon Tail.
Regardless, in the end, the Little Ice Silkworm helped suppress the out-of-control Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend and didn't eat the Demon Emperor Dragon Corpse; instead, it held back his enemies. He would remember this favor.
"Gooji gwa la..."
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's explanation, the Little Ice Silkworm's angry expression lessened visibly, following with a spirited gesturing and chattering for a long while.
Mu Jinyu barely guessed it meant it wanted him to compensate by giving it the Dragon Corpse to eat...
Continuing with a moment of silence, Mu Jinyu shook his head, saying, "Sorry, the Dragon Corpse is still of great use to me. I can't give it to you to eat..."
Thankfully, when Mu Jinyu entered the Extremely Cold Hell, knowing the size of the ice tunnel, the Dragon Body would be stuck and couldn't move, so he stored the Dragon Corpse in the Bi Fang Cauldron.
Otherwise, if the Little Ice Silkworm flared up, the Dragon Corpse might not have been saved.
"Gooji gwa la woo..."
The Little Ice Silkworm became furious upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, loudly accusing him as if he had repaid kindness with ingratitude...
Mu Jinyu felt a bit of a headache and sighed, "Don't be angry; I'll repay your lifesaving favor with other things..."
Just as he spoke, he heard movement behind him, his expression changed slightly, knowing the enemies had caught up. He couldn't afford delays, and urgently said, "Go!"
In his urgency, he forgot the speed and terror of the Little Ice Silkworm, grabbing it as he hurried on.
The Little Ice Silkworm, still puzzled over what Mu Jinyu could offer to compensate, was caught off guard being grabbed by him.
It then intended to get furious and retaliate, like the time it bit Jing Haosi, but soon realized the movement behind and understood Mu Jinyu's mistake, deciding not to bite him, only struggling gently instead.
With the Little Ice Silkworm's struggle, Mu Jinyu recollected its terrifying potential, annoyed at himself for rashly grabbing it, and quickly released it from his hand.
Once freed, the Little Ice Silkworm stayed with Mu Jinyu, landing on his shoulder, cheerfully directing him towards the left pathway among the three before them.
"Alright."
Mu Jinyu, also contemplating whether to take the left or right tunnel, did not hesitate upon seeing the Little Ice Silkworm's guidance and plunged into the left tunnel.
After all, though he discovered the Little Ice Silkworm in the middle tunnel, it likely had lived in the Extremely Cold Hell as an ancient being and should understand the distinctions and dangers of these tunnels better than he did.
Moreover, if it wanted to harm him, there was no need for such a hassle; he had no reason to oppose it.
"Pursue!"
"He's just ahead, don't let him escape!"
Behind.
Wu Xiongfei and others spotted Mu Jinyu's figure ahead, initially hesitating to advance. As soon as they appeared, they hurried blindly into the left tunnel.
Without much heed, they followed into the left tunnel as well.
However, in the perilous Extremely Cold Hell, the dozen Unity Realm masters dared not employ full-force attacks on Mu Jinyu as they would outside, nor did they dare activate their Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, lest unforeseen incidents occur.
"Ji ji ji..."
Mu Jinyu fled forward cautiously, as he hadn't ventured into the left path before, for fear of triggering any horror. As he was about to be caught up from behind, following his steps, the Little Ice Silkworm signaled several squeaks, offering guidance.
Having communicated with the Little Ice Silkworm a few times, Mu Jinyu quickly grasped its signals, noticing a dragon cave-like ice cave to the right of the ice tunnel ahead without much hesitation and dashed inside.
He hoped, Little guy, don't betray me now.
If there's no escape here, I'd be cornered.
Mu Jinyu had attempted before that even in the Extremely Cold Hell, the Unity Realm couldn't sway the Heaven and Earth Laws, rendering teleportation and the like futile here.
So, having rushed into this ice cave, if it didn't offer salvation, his fate was perilous.
Assailed by over a dozen Unity Realm experts.
Compared to the peril of being besieged by four five days ago, he definitely seemed to have no way out this time!
