"Xiao Ye?"

Gu Ruoyun was shaken and still unaware of what was going on when she was dragged by Qianbei Ye into a mad escape. She had not even had the time to ask questions...

Rumble!

Just then, the entire Deserted Snowlands began to shake as if this part of the world was about to break apart!

Qianbei Ye saw that it was too late and hugged Gu Ruoyun very tightly. A blood-red light slowly emerged from within his demonic eyes and his expression was extremely somber.

"Xiao Ye, what on earth is going on?"

Gu Ruoyun has never seen Qianbei Ye behave like this. He almost resembled an angered wild animal as his entire being exploded with a frantic aura. His silvery hair was dancing in the freezing wild wind while his crimson red looked as if they had been dyed in bright red blood, creating a magnificent scene in the gradually collapsing Deserted Snowlands.

"It's him!"

Qianbei Ye's features gradually turned gloomy and his eyes slowly released a powerful murderous intent. "He has emerged!"

"That's impossible!"

Gu Ruoyun understood what Qianbei Ye had meant and her expression changed greatly. "If he really has emerged, the Secret Order would have noticed that!"

"I don't know what the reason is either but I can sense it. He's here. The Deserted Snowlands' collapse is also caused by his power." Qianbei Ye's eyes darkened as he gently pursed his red lips. "Yun'er, no matter what happens, do not leave my side."

This time, I had indeed been careless! I had not noticed that he had broken the seal and caused Gu Ruoyun to fall knee-deep in danger!

His heart was upset and guilt-ridden at the thought of this.

"Xiao Ye."

Gu Ruoyun clutched Qianbei Ye's arm tightly, "This isn't your fault. After all, he had been sealed away in the Secret Order's Training Pagoda and the Secret Order had not noticed that he had escaped from the Training Pagoda either! Besides, I feel that Zuo Shangchen's disappearance must be related to this fellow somehow."

Qianbei Ye did not reply and only held onto Gu Ruoyun very tightly. The red light in his demonic eyes became even more magnificent...

Boom!

A wave of powerful energy was released from the Deserted Snowlands and caused the place to collapse even faster. As the crumbling ensued, Gu Ruoyun felt her vision turn black and her body falter backwards...

"Yun'er!"

As she lost consciousness, she heard Qianbei Ye's voice roaring like a furious wild animal by her ear...

...

"Yun'er, Yun'er."

She was feeling dizzy as a concerned and gentle voice murmured into her ear.

Gu Ruoyun slowly opened her eyes to find Qianbei Ye's peerless and beautiful features in front of her. Even the anxiety in his eyes was clear.

"Yun'er, are you alright?"

Gu Ruoyun propped her body up and looked around her before frowning.

She remembers that she was still in the Deserted Snowlands but her surroundings were now filled with plants. The rippling sound of a mountain stream could also be heard nearby. An abundance of tree branches grew above her like clouds and it was shady and moist.

"What is this place?" Gu Ruoyun seemed to remember something and grabbed Qianbei Ye's arm as she asked anxiously, "Xiao Ye, are you alright?"

Qianbei Ye shook his head and replied gently, "Do I look like I'm not alright?"

"And that fellow?"

Gu Ruoyun furrowed her brows as her eyes flashed with skepticism.

"He had not appeared." Qianbei Ye smiled gently. The smile in his eyes was like overflowing water as he continued "We are now in the underground area of the Deserted Snowlands! I never thought that there would be a forest beneath the Deserted Snowlands either. No, I should say that no one on the mainland would have ever expected it!"
