Chapter 123 Mysterious Letter, A New Journey
As the dust settled, Zhang Peng and the others stood in the hall, still bearing the marks of battle, their exhaustion barely concealing their joy at victory. Li Ming bent down to pick up a fragment of a black robe from the ground, his expression grave. "These people from the mysterious organization are like persistent wolves. We had just found the hourglass when they followed us here."
Lin Wan'er gently stroked the trembling vine in her hand, "But this time we were very fortunate to have Zhang Peng fused with the power of the divine artifact, otherwise we would have had a real hard time getting away."
Su Yao walked to the hourglass, her eyes filled with curiosity and amazement. "What secrets does this hourglass hold that could drive this mysterious organization to such madness?"
Zhang Peng stepped forward, carefully picked up the hourglass, and examined it closely. The surface of the hourglass was covered with ancient runes, and golden sand flowed slowly inside, as if telling the secrets of time. The moment he touched the hourglass, the Five Elements Spirit Pearl and the Thunder Pearl vibrated slightly again, seemingly responding to the power of the hourglass.
“I think the connection between these three artifacts is much closer than we imagine. Only by collecting all three can we truly unleash their power and prevent the mysterious organization from opening the forbidden gate,” Zhang Peng said.
Everyone nodded in agreement, then packed their belongings and left the mysterious building with the hourglass of time. On their way back to Qingfeng Sect, they dared not relax their vigilance in the slightest, remaining constantly alert to the possibility of another attack from the mysterious organization.
Several days later, they finally returned to Qingfeng Sect. Elder Xuanfeng and Qingfengzi were already waiting at the mountain gate. Seeing them return safely, the two elders finally felt relieved.
"You're finally back. You must have had a long journey." Elder Xuanfeng's eyes were full of concern.
Zhang Peng recounted in detail to the two elders the process of searching for the hourglass and the battle with the mysterious organization. Elder Xuanfeng and Qingfengzi's expressions turned extremely grave upon hearing this.
"The mysterious organization is becoming more and more active. It seems they have realized that we are searching for the artifact and want to stop us," Qingfengzi said.
Elder Xuanfeng nodded slightly. "Next, we must be even more careful. Zhang Peng, you have made some progress in fusing the three divine artifacts. Continue your efforts to improve your strength. At the same time, we must also find clues about the Fountain of Life as soon as possible."
Zhang Peng nodded firmly, "Elder, rest assured, I will do my best."
Just then, a disciple rushed over, holding a sealed letter in his hand. "Elder, this is a letter we just received. It's unsigned."
Elder Xuanfeng took the letter, opened it, and his expression changed slightly. He handed the letter to Zhang Peng, saying, "Take a look."
Zhang Peng took the letter, which read: "The Fountain of Life is located deep within the icy abyss of the frigid land. It is fraught with danger; if you wish to go, you must be fully prepared. Remember, never trust others easily."
After reading the letter, Zhang Peng fell into deep thought. The Ice Abyss in the extreme cold was a place full of unknowns and dangers, and the mysterious organization could very well have set a trap there. But in order to find the Fountain of Life and stop the mysterious organization's conspiracy, he had no other choice.
"I've decided to head to the frigid lands to find the Fountain of Life." Zhang Peng raised his head, his eyes gleaming with determination.
Li Ming immediately stepped forward, "I'll go with you; the more people there are, the more strength we'll have."
Lin Wan'er and Su Yao also expressed their desire to go together. Looking at their determined eyes, Zhang Peng felt a surge of warmth in his heart, "Okay, then let's go together."
Elder Xuanfeng and Qingfengzi instructed them to be careful, and then prepared plenty of pills and magical treasures for them.
Amidst everyone's anticipation and worry, Zhang Peng, Li Ming, Lin Wan'er, and Su Yao embarked on their journey to the frigid land. Along the way, they traversed dense forests and climbed steep mountain peaks, finally arriving at the edge of the frigid land.
Before them lay a vast expanse of white, with howling winds, swirling snowflakes, and a biting chill. Zhang Peng and the others tightened their clothing, took a deep breath, and stepped into this icy wasteland.
As soon as they entered the frigid land, they felt a powerful chill wash over them, as if it would freeze their blood. Zhang Peng mobilized his spiritual power to create a warm shield around them, protecting them from the biting cold.
"Everyone be careful, the environment here is even worse than we imagined," Zhang Peng said.
The group proceeded cautiously, each step crunching softly on the thick snow. Suddenly, a deep roar echoed from ahead, and a massive ice bear emerged from the snowdrift. This enormous bear was covered in a thick layer of ice, its sharp claws carving deep lines in the snow, and its blood-red eyes gleaming with ferocity.
