Chapter 38: Snow Maiden

This was the first time Lin Jiufeng had encountered a five-colored skeleton.

The skeleton was surrounded by a holy, ethereal glow, akin to a deity walking step by step through the air, sending a hush through the crowd. Even the mighty Golden Lion King, Great Ape King, and Giant King were astonished, their eyes fixed on the five-colored skeleton.

It was so beautiful, like a dream, like a rainbow solidified into form, dazzling yet sacred. Upon closer inspection, the skeleton's bones were translucent, radiating a divine five-colored light that shimmered with every movement, standing in stark contrast to the nearby black-and-white skeletons.

One glance was enough to tell how terrifying and noble the five-colored skeleton was. To be honest, if someone had told Lin Jiufeng before today that there could be a noble skeleton, he would never have believed it. But now, he was convinced.

This five-colored skeleton was indeed more noble than any other.

"Skeleton King, you've made yourself so flashy, just like those places where people sell themselves in the mortal world. But you have no... backside to sell. You're too bony," said the playful voice of the Fighting God King.

The five-colored skeleton's soul fire flared with rage, its voice seething with fury. "Fighting God King, don't think that just because you have the bloodline of the Fighting God, you can do as you please. In a one-on-one fight, you may be strong, but if I team up with the Invincible King of the War Tribe, we can surely kill you!"

"You can team up, but can I not? Have you asked my friend?" Fighting God King retorted, pulling Lin Jiufeng into his embrace.

Lin Jiufeng was confused. So, you became friends with me just to use me?

"You've picked the wrong person. This guy is the most useless genius of my tribe, always kept under my thumb. You're depending on him? How laughable," said the Yasha King as he arrived, noticing how closely Fighting God King had attached himself to Lin Jiufeng.

Fighting God King laughed heartily. "Yasha King, you're really full of yourself. The person you've kept down just defeated the Shura King, and now he's still recovering. Can you do that?"

At these words, the Yasha King, Five-Colored Skeleton King, and Giant King all turned to look at Lin Jiufeng, then at the Shura King, who was healing in mid-air, clearly shocked.

"Impossible!" Yasha King growled in disbelief. He had always been able to defeat Lin Jiufeng with a single hand, so how could Lin Jiufeng have possibly defeated the Shura King?

Yasha King examined Lin Jiufeng closely, but thankfully, Lin Jiufeng had activated the Phoenix Concealment Technique, preventing him from being discovered.

Fighting God King taunted, "If you don't believe it, ask around. The battle fluctuations you sensed earlier were caused by Yasha Little King defeating the Shura King."

"Enough!" The Shura King suddenly bellowed, his aura erupting as his wounds healed and his strength returned to its peak. He landed and glared at Fighting God King. "I was just careless. If we fight again, I won't lose."

Upon hearing this, Yasha King was stunned.

The Shura King had just admitted it.

Yasha Little King had really defeated the Shura King.

This... How could this be?

Yasha King sank into a deep self-doubt.

"Shura King, you're really this weak now? You let a little Yasha beat you?" A mocking voice echoed through the air, followed by a gust of wind and a dragon's roar. A massive illusory figure appeared in the sky.

A true dragon!

It soared across the sky, blocking the sun and casting a vast shadow on the ground. Then, the dragon shrank in size and landed before everyone, now only ten meters long.

"Black Dragon King, stop with the mockery. You and I are evenly matched. If you truly want to fight this Yasha, it's not certain who would win," the Shura King snorted coldly.

"Why should I fight him?" Black Dragon King retorted. "You think I'm like you, always picking fights?"

The Shura King's face turned dark, and he looked incredibly upset, but there were too many kings present, so he had to endure.

"Are we all gathered here for the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion?" A melodious voice suddenly rang out. A girl in white, her feet bare, walked through the air toward them.

She was a breathtaking beauty, with skin as smooth as jade and eyes like autumn waters, as fresh and beautiful as a snow-covered flower tree. Her beauty was unparalleled as she walked, her feet stepping lightly through the void, her jade-like toes shimmering with an alluring glow.

She walked forward, and everyone's expressions changed. Even the always-chatty Fighting God King immediately let go of Lin Jiufeng's shoulder, wiped his palms clean, and shyly greeted her, "Snow Sister, hello!"

"Little rascal, you're well too," the girl replied with a smile, her voice like a soft breeze.

"Greetings, Snow Maiden," Black Dragon King said as he nodded.

"Black Dragon King, hello," Snow Maiden smiled and nodded back.

Others also greeted her one by one. Even the arrogant Shura King spoke warmly to her.

The only one who didn't greet her was Lin Jiufeng.

Snow Maiden wasn't offended. She smiled at Lin Jiufeng and said, "So you're the Yasha Little King. Your strength has grown so quickly. The Yasha tribe has produced two exceptional talents this generation."

"Thank you for the compliment," Lin Jiufeng responded coldly, giving only a nod.

Snow Maiden studied him for a moment but didn't say anything further. Instead, she said, "Everyone, we've all come here for the treasure of the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion. I'm sure you all have the keys to the mansion. Let's work together to open it, and then we can proceed to fight for it individually."

She immediately took control of the situation, leading the group to open the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion. The best part was that everyone complied, even the Shura King, who obediently took out his key.

Lin Jiufeng quietly asked Fighting God King, "Who is this girl?"

"Don't you know her?" Fighting God King was surprised.

Lin Jiufeng shook his head. He had only been in the dimensional battlefield for a year, and he didn't know anyone here. Even the people present were those he had only just met.

Fighting God King sighed. "My friend, you're really a fool in your cultivation. You don't even recognize the most outstanding heir of the hundred tribes?"

The most outstanding heir of the hundred tribes?

Lin Jiufeng immediately realized that this Snow Maiden was an Angel.

The current first tribe of the hundred tribes was the Divine Angel Tribe.

The outstanding heir of the Divine Angel Tribe had to be a Divine Angel as well.

No wonder even the Shura King, so rebellious and uncontrollable, behaved so respectfully in front of her.

Being the first among the hundred tribes was a title of great prestige.

"This time, twenty-four keys to the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion were distributed. One key allows entry for one person. Everyone, please take out your keys. Once all twenty-four keys are gathered, we can open the mansion," Snow Maiden continued.

Without hesitation, Fighting God King took out his key.

Lin Jiufeng hesitated. He immediately asked the Sacred Beast Qilin, "If I take two keys, can I avoid exposing you and take you inside?"

"No problem. I'm hiding in a living storage artifact, so I can avoid detection," the Sacred Beast Qilin quickly replied.

Lin Jiufeng felt relieved.
