At this most critical moment, the elder of Feng Tianzong, calm amidst crisis, cried out in alarm, “Everyone, lie down and pretend to be dead, just like the Holy Sect!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the elder of Feng Tianzong immediately threw himself onto the ground.
Since the Holy Sect had successfully pretended to be dead, they had to follow suit.
Otherwise, if they were to confront this Snow King Lion directly, they would surely face total annihilation.
At this moment, the other major sects rushed to imitate, each one lying on the ground. Some disciples, to appear more realistic, even tilted their heads sideways and stuck out their tongues.
At this moment, the sky abruptly fell silent. Snowflakes danced, without the previous noise or tension.
The warships in the sky seemed frozen in time.
The old woman from Jiutian Pavilion stared in shock at what lay below.
Everything had become so illusory, so unreal.
Now the six major sects lay on the ground like corpses, while the descendant of the ancient Nu Tian Snow Lion stood there, more like a fool, bewildered between heaven and earth.
How had those lively little ants suddenly become motionless and lifeless?
“Elder, how could this happen?”
The old woman did not answer, because the scene before her was simply too incredible. Throughout history, no one had ever managed to deceive a beast’s sense of smell.
Cultivators encountering a ferocious beast must either kill it or perish themselves, but no one had ever seen someone escape a beast’s notice.
Especially when the beast was a descendant of the ancient Nu Tian Snow Lion!
The Snow King Lion, as large as a small mountain, did not immediately leave. Instead, it crouched at the cave entrance, its massive claw scratching its face, its blood-red eyes fixed on the now “dead” little ants, clearly puzzled as to why they had suddenly died.
Although it was a ferocious beast, it was also a beast who loved to learn.
Inheriting the bloodline of an ancient ferocious beast, it wanted to understand this phenomenon thoroughly, record it in its bloodline forever, and pass it down to the next generation so that they, too, would understand what had happened before it.
None of the six sects could comprehend why they had managed to escape the Snow King Lion’s notice. Could it be that lying on the ground and pretending to be dead concealed some hidden secret?
No matter how hard they thought, they would never figure it out.
Ling Ao, the gifted son of Feng Tianzong, lay motionless on the ground. Facing such a powerful beast, even if he were stronger, he dared not act recklessly.
Yet just as everyone secretly rejoiced at having escaped danger, they discovered that the Snow King Lion had not returned to its cave, but instead sat before them, silently waiting.
At this moment, Lin Fan felt helpless. What exactly did this Snow King Lion want? Could it just hurry back to its nest so they could retreat first?
On the warships in the sky, everyone remained silent. The current situation had not yet passed danger.
“Elder, should we help them by luring the Snow King Lion away?” one disciple asked.
“No. Let’s wait and see. This matter concerns the six sects, not us.”
“If we don’t secretly harm them, we’ve already helped. Let’s see how long they can hold out.”
…
The major sects aboard the several warships began discussing amongst themselves. They were also extremely curious about the scene below, unsure of how it would ultimately unfold.
Right now, the six sects were in a difficult predicament—something quite pleasing to watch.
…
“Elder, what should we do now?” Ling Ao whispered.
“I don’t know. Wait,” the elder of Feng Tianzong replied softly.
The elders of sects like Xuanyangzong and Taiyizong responded similarly. None of them knew what to do. Were they simply to wait for the Snow King Lion to return to its cave?
Minute by minute passed.
The snowfall grew heavier, and a thick layer of snow began to cover the bodies of the disciples from the six sects.
Lin Fan was thinking about something: whether to activate his invisibility state, sneak quietly into the cave, secretly steal the cub, and then hit it with a brick to stun it.
But this was just idle thought. While invisibility was powerful, the beast was highly sensitive to energy. If discovered, it would truly be the end.
Though Lin Fan wanted to try, he dared not. In the end, he remained still, hoping that the Snow King Lion would grow bored and leave on its own.
…
As everyone silently waited, a disciple from the Holy Sect, his voice tinged with tears, whispered, “Elder, Master, I need to fart…”
Lin Fan, who had been deep in thought, nearly spat out a mouthful of blood upon hearing this.
What the hell? At such a critical moment, someone wanted to fart?
“What’s wrong with you? At your level of cultivation, how could this happen?” Elder Yu frowned and whispered in anger.
“Master, I practice the ‘Luli Golden Body.’ Whenever there’s even a trace of toxin in my body, it gets expelled through flatulence. In this freezing cold, I’ve accumulated a lot of cold energy, and now my Luli Golden Body is starting to reject it,” the disciple said, nearly in tears.
If he had known this would happen today, he wouldn’t have practiced this technique even if beaten to death.
When fully cultivated, this technique could form a Luli Golden Body, immune to poisons and evil influences, maintaining the physical body in its optimal state.
“Hold it in! Absolutely no sound!” Lin Fan was speechless. This was truly a twist after twist, leaving him at a loss for words.
“Master, I’ve been holding it for so long… I really can’t take it anymore,” the disciple said, his face turning red from the effort.
“You…” At this moment, Lin Fan was about to find a plug to throw over so the disciple could stuff it up there himself, when suddenly, a thunderous sound erupted.
“Phhhhh…”
The fart was long and unrelenting, with rich highs and deep lows, like celestial music.
But at this moment, it was a death sentence.
“Damn it…” Lin Fan sighed helplessly.
“ROOOOOAR!”
The Snow King Lion, previously deep in thought, suddenly roared furiously. Its massive front claw gleamed with cold light as it swiped toward the source of the sound.
This single strike seemed to slice through space itself, leaving five long, twisting black lines in its wake.
Elder Yu’s face changed. With a furious roar, radiant light burst forth as he threw a punch that seemed capable of shattering heaven and earth toward the Snow King Lion’s claw.
“Boom!”
In an instant, space trembled, heaven and earth seemed to collapse. Elder Yu flew backward like a broken kite, spitting blood as he soared.
“Elder!” Everyone cried out in shock. They hadn’t expected the Snow King Lion to be so powerful. If even Elder Yu couldn’t withstand a single claw, this level of terror exceeded everyone’s imagination.
The Snow King Lion growled lowly, almost mockingly.
At this moment, Lin Fan couldn’t take it anymore. He pointed at the Snow King Lion and shouted, “Little brat, don’t get too cocky…”
But the moment Lin Fan spoke, space trembled. The Snow King Lion suddenly appeared before him and swallowed him whole in one bite.
Its speed was so fast that everyone was left stunned, unable to react at all.
“Master…” Everyone screamed in panic.
…
“Run…!”
