1098: Chapter 1091: Wait for an Opportunity to Act 1098: Chapter 1091: Wait for an Opportunity to Act Several days later.
Ye Chenfeng, Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi, Li Nan, and others had successfully arrived at the Arctic.
Facing the limitless expanse of ice and the snowy world before them, Ye Chenfeng and the group couldn’t help but tighten their clothes.
Upon reaching the Arctic, they had already changed into thicker clothing, and Ye Chenfeng’s Space Ring was stocked with various necessities.
Ye Chenfeng took out the map he had obtained in the Medicine Venerable’s room and, after confirming their direction, pointed to the left and said, “To reach the Polar Glacier, according to the map, we should just keep walking to the left.
However, there seems to be a considerable distance from our current location to the Polar Glacier.”
After breathing hot air into his palm, Cheng Dahhu said, “Chenfeng, let’s hurry up!
Maybe the other nine Venerables of the Heavenly Alliance haven’t reached the Polar Glacier yet.
If we can get the Ice Snow Lotus without them noticing, we’ll definitely infuriate the people of the Heavenly Alliance.”
Ye Chenfeng just smiled at Cheng Dahhu’s saying.
Since the Heavenly Alliance had discovered the Ice Snow Lotus in the Polar Glacier, they would definitely have people guarding it, making Cheng Dahhu’s plan virtually impossible.
“Everyone must pay attention to our surroundings at all times.
After all, the other nine Venerables of the Heavenly Alliance will be coming to the Arctic.
If we are discovered by the Heavenly Alliance, with the strength of the six of us here, we probably won’t be able to withstand the attack of the nine Venerables,” Ye Chenfeng specifically reminded before he took the lead and swept off in the left direction.
The Polar Glacier was very close to the northernmost point of the Arctic, and the closer one got to the pole, the colder the temperature became—it could reach as low as negative seventy to eighty degrees Celsius, a temperature not withstood by ordinary people.
As Ye Chenfeng and his group approached the Polar Glacier, the surrounding temperature plunged suddenly.
At first, they did not need to employ Soul Force to resist the cold, but later they had no choice but to enhance their Soul Force throughout their bodies.
After seven hours of full-speed travel, Ye Chenfeng and his group were very close to the Polar Glacier.
Ye Chenfeng suddenly stopped his tracks, looking at the ice formations rising like rivers in the distance; that must be the Polar Glacier.
Inhaling a breath of the icy air, he said, “Let us all try to control our Soul Force.
It’s not suitable to increase our speed with Soul Force anymore.
We’ll approach step by step.
I think the Heavenly Alliance has most likely already reached the Polar Glacier.”
Li Nan, Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi, and others had no objections to Ye Chenfeng’s words, as coming to the Polar Glacier already carried great danger, making it necessary for them to be extra cautious.
After retracting their Soul Force, Ye Chenfeng and the others couldn’t help but shiver from the cold.
They carefully watched their surroundings and looked for places with cover, slowly inching towards the Polar Glacier step by step.
Approximately another hour later.
Ye Chenfeng and his group had truly arrived at the Polar Glacier.
They hid behind a massive block of ice.
Sure enough, just as Ye Chenfeng had expected, the people from the Heavenly Alliance had already arrived.
About a hundred meters ahead of where Ye Chenfeng and his group were, there were tents set up with members of the Heavenly Alliance occasionally moving around.
Thanks to his keen perception, Ye Chenfeng could clearly feel the constant energy fluctuations from beneath the ground where the Heavenly Alliance was camped, spreading across the surface to all directions.
That must be the location where the Ice Snow Lotus was growing.
“Chenfeng, the people of the Heavenly Alliance are already here, what should we do now?” Shen Mingxuan asked.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Chenfeng said, “With our strength, it’s not suitable for us to appear within the line of sight of the Heavenly Alliance members.
The Ice Snow Lotus grows under the ice.
I just felt the energy fluctuations of the Ice Snow Lotus, which proves that the Heavenly Alliance hasn’t got the Ice Snow Lotus yet.
Now, we can only wait for the right opportunity, watching for what actions the Heavenly Alliance will take next.”
“Right, I agree with Young Master Ye’s words.
We’re not suitable for a head-on confrontation with the Heavenly Alliance.
Let’s just watch the situation here for now,” Venerable Level Peak expert Li Nan nodded and said.
Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi, Cheng Dahhu, and Xiao Liyuan, none of them could say much more, so Ye Chenfeng took out tents one by one from his Space Ring, and also took out some food, saying, “Let’s rest for a while first and replenish some calories.”
…
By the time Ye Chenfeng and his companions reached the Polar Glacier, a hundred meters away where the Heavenly Alliance was stationed, inside the largest tent, many fires were lit, making the temperature inside the tent much warmer than outside.
In this tent, ten tables and chairs were placed on both sides and in the middle at the top, with people sitting on all but one chair.
The two people sitting at the very top center were none other than the Heavenly Alliance’s Heavenly Venerable Ji Feizhou and Earthly Venerable Zhang Xingtian.
The rest of the seven chairs were occupied by members of the Heavenly Alliance’s Ten Venerables.
A middle-aged man sitting at the very end stood up.
Ever since the Poison Venerable died, the fourth-ranked Medicine Venerable filled the position of the Poison Venerable, leaving one vacancy among the Ten Venerables of the Heavenly Alliance.
This vacant spot was secured by Tian Fengde, who was originally a Venerable Level Peak expert from the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance.
After defecting to the Heavenly Alliance, his outstanding strength among the Venerable Level Peaks, combined with the Heavenly Alliance’s need to ensure those from the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance pledged allegiance willingly, meant adding a defector to fill the vacancy among the Ten Venerables was also a way to appease people.
Thus, Tian Fengde naturally became one of the Ten Venerables of the Heavenly Alliance, though his rank could only be at the lower end among them.
Tian Fengde gave a slight smile to the Heavenly Venerable Ji Feizhou and Earthly Venerable Zhang Xingtian sitting at the top, then spoke with righteous indignation, “Brother Ji, Brother Zhang, this Medicine Venerable is really out of line, isn’t he?
Everyone has arrived at the Polar Glacier, yet not even a ghost of him has shown up.”
Tian Fengde was aware that the androgynous Medicine Venerable was extremely unpopular among the Ten Venerables as no one wished to interact with him more than necessary.
By saying what he did at this moment, Tian Fengde was voicing the sentiments of everyone present.
As a recent addition to the ranks of the Ten Venerables, he had to make a good impression on the others to avoid being ostracized.
Heavenly Venerable Ji Feizhou, seated at the foremost position, waved his hand and said, “Well, this Medicine Venerable has indeed crossed the line.
The Alliance entrusts us, the Ten Venerables, jointly responsible for the matter of the Ice Snow Lotus, indicating the importance the Alliance Hierarch places on this operation.
Now that Medicine Venerable just replaced Poison Venerable, does he not take us seriously?
Medicine Venerable has always been a peculiar person.”
“Brother Ji, does this mean we have to keep waiting for Medicine Venerable if he does not arrive?” Tian Fengde asked again.
Heavenly Venerable Ji Feizhou shook his head and replied, “Regardless of whether Medicine Venerable has arrived at the Polar Glacier, we will start harvesting Ice Snow Lotus on schedule tomorrow.”
Then, the Heavenly Venerable added, “Alright, everyone, go and rest!
Prepare for tomorrow’s operation.”
Soon, only Heavenly Venerable Ji Feizhou and Earthly Venerable Zhang Xingtian were left inside the tent.
Heavenly Venerable looked at Earthly Venerable meaningfully and said, “Brother Zhang, I’ve heard you suffered a huge loss at the hands of Ye Chenfeng?
And that it even angered the young master?”
Earthly Venerable Zhang Xingtian snorted coldly through his nose, replying, “Ye Chenfeng is indeed a formidable person, haven’t you heard about the recent excursion of the Alliance Hierarch and the Three Emperors to Capital City?
In the end, they returned without success.
This matter is known only to a few within the Heavenly Alliance, which shows the depth of Ye Chenfeng’s abilities.”
Heavenly Venerable Ji Feizhou smiled and said, “Brother Zhang, it seems to me you’re overthinking it.
Nowadays, Lin Kangsheng and other remnants of the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance are with Ye Chenfeng.
I believe that the reason the Alliance Hierarch and the Three Emperors returned without success is entirely due to those remnants of the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance.
If I encounter Ye Chenfeng, I assure you I will avenge you, Brother Zhang.”
“Hmph~”
“I don’t need you to worry about my affairs.” Saying this, Earthly Venerable Zhang Xingtian walked straight out of the tent.
There was some friction between him and Heavenly Venerable Ji Feizhou – they had once competed for the position of Heavenly Venerable, and in the end, Zhang Xingtian lost to Ji Feizhou by one move.
