Secret door

All the storms came to a halt in an instant, the second the light emitting from Xuan Yuan's body dimmed and disappeared. Like storms it wasn't there at the first place.

What happened, was there any connection between all the storms that had occurred just now with Xuan Yuan? How could it be? That is something that doesn't make sense.

But judging by Chi You's orders, this could be the case. Chi You's words quite clearly rang in his ears. You will find the sword by yourself. That means that there is a connection between the mei long sword and Xuan Yuan which is indirectly, perhaps also related to the storm that occurred.

However, the larvae have vomited out on the top of the iceberg, continuing to flow downwards. It's just a matter of time, when will it reach the foot of the mountain. And scorch them. They need to move fast. look for the mei long sword and get out of here. Or at least look for a place where the larvae can't reach them.

On the other hand, the snow dust that was still flying in the air, obscured their view, so they couldn't see far away to find a safe place. Until the flying snow fell and rested perfectly to the ground.

Zhi Qiang hissed. The flash of lightning as the storm poured down was still clearly flashing across his face. The lightning struck and shattered the tall and wide rock into tiny shards. He hoped that there would still be a high place for them to take shelter from the raging heat of the larvae slithering down from the slopes of the gangrim iceberg.

But when they move to leave the place. A rumble was heard. The ground shook. Snow from the top of the mountain rolled down to cover the exit. They couldn't break through the snow wall that was 10 meters and above.

Zhi Qiang bit his teeth hard, snapping sounds could be heard by the others. The grip of his hand that was tightly embracing Xuan Yuan also hardened. Now they are literally trapped by nature not by some invisible mystical force.

"Looks like this iceberg doesn't want us to go, sir," said the stocky man, shrugging his shoulders. "We need to wake him up, if the words you said before are true, he's our only hope at this point." His eyes scanned Xuan Yuan's state. A miraculous thing had happened to him. It seems he has some hidden power. He squinted right at Xuan Yuan's sleeping face which was now hidden in the crook of Zhi Qiang's neck.

Now what? In deep thought. Now his only goal is to find the Mei Long Sword. But what about Xuan Yuan's state. He needed the help of a physician. Although physically he looked fine, after being completely burned by the flames that emerged from within him. Internally he must be in pain.

"He was out of energy, in a stupor. Do you have a way to wake him up?" Zhi Qiang asked as he thought of a way out of his current disadvantage.

The two men looked at each other. The two shook their heads, a sign they didn't know how to wake up the person who had fainted from the exhaustion of energy from within his body.

Zhi Qiang already guessed it. He looked ahead with a dark cold face. For sure now they had to keep moving, at least now to avoid the larvae that lay before their eyes. "Keep moving, lead the way" his firm voice sounded again, giving orders. Surprisingly the two men just obeyed what he said.

They moved deeper into the foot of the mountain. Keep walking, until they forget to count how long they have been walking. The snow dust had already fallen and rested on the ground. As far as their eye can see, they find no solid high ground for them to climb and avoid the larvae. While walking they continue to look up, the larvae left 20 meters above them.

The three of them walked in anxiety and panic. They thought, they would not make it out of here, if this continued. The only person who could help them, was still unconscious on Zhi Qiang's back.

"I think my life ends here," the tall man shouted, anxiety evident on his face. Although he has lived more than two centuries in age but not physically. He still has the will to live.

That is human nature, greed for eternal life. This happened in the eastern and southern kingdoms, the emperors sent their trusted men. All race to find the elixir to be able to extend their life span. Ironic isn't it. When human life has a short term, they should be grateful, live with satisfaction and appreciate how valuable their life is. Do as much good as possible to help others, a ticket that you will carry with you after death. The ticket that will take you to the next better life.

The time chimes, the larvae are getting closer in sight. 10 meters, 5 meters. The three of them stood on tiptoe, as if by doing so they would be freed from the devour of the cruel larvae. But the second the larvae rolled a meter from their feet.

Light burst out from the birthmark on Xuan Yuan's hand once again. Their bodies lifted, floating into the air. High enough to be half the height of the iceberg.

Zhi Qiang, dumbfounded, felt the power flowing out of Xuan Yuan's body close to his body. He could feel it for real. He often felt the power emanating from Chi You, only his strength, felt turbulent, heavy and dark. In contrast to the strength of Xuan Yuan, he felt a divine and calming flow, clear and bright, like a newborn baby, pure and innocent.

With their bodies raised, they seemed to be standing on an imbalance field. But they didn't fall from there. The invisible power does not allow them to fall. They're still on the air.

Then a cold wind suddenly appeared, blowing violently under their feet. Sweep the larvae. The larvae were instantly blown away, like a light piece of paper blown away by a human's mouth. What's unique is that the larvae squirm to form unique patterns, like water splashed out of a pond. The splash froze into a lump of ice and floated in the air, like an ornate statue, to decorating palaces or historical sites place.

And after the larvae are lifted from the mountainside, resulting in the mountainside being clean of snow, larvae or other remains. To show the surface of the mountain slopes. On the surface, it looks like there is a gate like-cave.

They gasped as the secret door of the gangrim iceberg opened which was full of mysteries. Of course, they wouldn't have found the secret door all this time, because it was hidden behind the thick snow that covered the mountainside. That never unveil over the centuries since the sword reside and hidden there. And which is located not at the foot of the mountain than 50 meters from ground level. But now they can see it, clearly.

The problem now was how they got in there, with their bodies now floating in the air. Zhi Qiang glanced at Xuan Yuan on his shoulder. His eyes were still tightly closed. How can his power appear when the person is unconscious? Can the power come out at any time without the will of the owner of the power itself? Or is this power out to protect him?

So many questions flashed through Zhi Qiang's mind at this moment. he started to question who exactly was Xuan Yuan? As he recalled, he was born into a noble family. When he was born there was indeed a mysterious incident that occurred around the area where his parents lived. In other words, he was no ordinary human. But who, Chi You never told him.

And in the midst of the hustle and bustle of his mind. Their bodies moved toward the gate like-cave. When their feet can hit the surface of the cave. The power of the invisible, disappears in an instant. They can move freely at the entrance of the cave.
