After the rebirth of the new Emperor Tian, many continents merged together, and the climates of the original continents also changed greatly. The area where the Icewind Dale was originally located was a very cold place, covered with ice and snow all year round, but this is no longer the case. Only a mountain range is still covered with frost. This is because there is a strange icy power under the Icewind Dale that allows the place to retain its icy aura.
It was the first time that Shen Xiang came to the Icewind Valley. At this time, the valley with howling cold winds was very strict. In order to cooperate with Shen Xiang's previous plan, Leng Youlan also let an elder of the Icewind Valley fake his death. Because of this, the disciples of the Icewind Valley were very vigilant at this time. Even if Shen Xiang had the jade token given by Leng Youlan, he could not enter easily. He had to wait for the elder inside to come out.
Shen Xiang also waited very patiently for this. Xue Xianxian and Leng Youlan's faked deaths also made the disciples of the Divine Weapon Sect and Ice Wind Valley work harder. For them, the sect was their second home. It was here that they received teachings and were able to grow step by step into a powerful warrior, have a longer lifespan, and make their lives more meaningful. The killing of the headmaster made them very angry.
The person who came out to greet Shen Xiang was a middle-aged woman with gray hair. Her hair was not naturally gray like Leng Youlan's, but because her life span was almost exhausted, she was just trying her best to maintain her appearance.
This elder is of high rank in the Icewind Valley. Even if Liu Meng'er was here back then, she would have to show great respect to her. Although she was not born with very high conditions for cultivation, she had reached this step with her own abilities and was only one step away from ascending.
"Elder Pan, do you know any secrets about those missing disciples in the Icewind Valley?" Shen Xiang followed behind Elder Pan, facing the chaotic wind, entered the valley, and walked towards a building covered with snow.
Inside the Icewind Valley, it was like there was a small village. Elder Pan led Shen Xiang over there, and many people saluted Elder Pan one after another.
Elder Pan did not answer Shen Xiang's words. She closed her eyes slightly and led Shen Xiang slowly towards a cave deep in the mountain.
This Elder Pan must have been a beauty when she was young. She was still charming in her middle-aged appearance, but she was less lively. This was a very obvious state when her life was coming to an end. She looked tired and gave people a very weak feeling, but Shen Xiang knew that there was still a strong explosive power in her body covered with white animal skin.
"Is Youlan okay now?" Elder Pan asked softly, his voice weak.
"She is living a good life... Elder Pan, you shouldn't worry about so many things in your current state. Leave it to others." Shen Xiang sighed softly. She had heard Liu Meng'er talk about Elder Pan before, and she had contributed a lot to Icewind Valley.
"I must personally handle such an important matter. Anyway, no matter what, my result will be the same!" Elder Pan sat on a chair covered with thick animal skins, leaning lazily, with one hand on her cheek, her eyes half open, looking as if she had not woken up yet, but Shen Xiang was worried that she would pass away at any time.
"Don't tell Youlan about my current situation!" Elder Pan said again.
"Elder Pan, your current situation is not too bad. As long as you can buy some time to break through and pass the nine tribulations of Nirvana, you can ascend to the fairyland. You still have a long way to go." Shen Xiang saw the gray light in Elder Pan's eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"I am a person with mediocre talent, but I am very satisfied with my life! Many people who were more talented than me in the past have died long ago." Elder Pan said: "Let's talk about business. Youlan sent you here, so she must have absolute trust in you."
Long Xueyi frowned and said, "This woman must have encountered something to become like this. Judging from the vitality in her body, she shouldn't be so half-dead. She must have had some of her lifespan sucked away by someone."
Shen Xiang was surprised that his life span could actually be sucked away. He said, "Elder Pan, you are in this state now. You can't discuss business with me at all, and you can't protect Icewind Valley!"
Shen Xiang's tone suddenly became a little stern, and then he took out a longevity fruit and walked over. Even if this longevity fruit was not used to make pills, it could still have a very good effect, and there would be no problem in increasing the lifespan of Elder Pan.
"What is this?" Elder Pan asked, her vision already blurry.
This Elder Pan can be said to be someone who is relatively close to Liu Meng'er and Leng Youlan. Shen Xiang can save her now, so of course they all have to be saved.
"Just eat it. I'm running out of time and I need to quickly resolve things here." Shen Xiang handed over the Longevity Fruit.
Elder Pan slowly raised her hand and took it. When she touched the longevity fruit, her eyes opened and life suddenly came to her, and her gray eyes lit up.
"Eat quickly, I know you have a lot to tell me!" Shen Xiang urged.
Elder Pan absorbed some of the life force from the longevity fruit, which gave him some strength. He then bit off the fruit in big mouthfuls, devouring it voraciously...
About half an hour later, Elder Pan ate the longevity fruit and refined the life force. His hair gradually turned black, and he became more youthful and charming.
"What a great thing! It makes me feel like I'm reborn. What kind of fruit is this? Who are you? You actually have this kind of magical thing. You have such a powerful person by Youlan's side? How could I not know? I watched Meng'er grow up. I know the people around her better."
Elder Pan was full of energy and his face was flushed. He looked middle-aged before, but now he has turned into a charming woman in her thirties. There was a cold and arrogant aura about her, which was attractive but also aloof. She was very similar to Liu Meng'er.
"Thank you very much for giving me this thing. It seems that I can only repay your kindness by working harder in the future." Elder Pan sighed softly.
Chen Xiang said calmly: "You will have a chance to know who I am in the future! Now tell me the reason for your previous state. It doesn't look natural, but man-made. Or maybe you are practicing some kind of technique that caused it?"
Elder Pan's body trembled, and his originally gentle eyes suddenly became a little cold, which made Shen Xiang immediately alert. He was just talking casually, but he didn't expect that he was right. This Elder Pan actually wanted to kill him.
"Youlan has indeed sent an extraordinary person!" Elder Pan stood up, walked to Shen Xiang, and stared into Shen Xiang's deep eyes, trying to see something from them.
"To be honest, I don't believe that you would do something to let Youlan down behind her back." Shen Xiang said, "But you must have done something shameful behind her back. Elder Pan, please tell the truth."
