This is a pine tree, exuding a rich green color even in the deep winter weather, the green of the pine tree cannot be concealed in the slightest.

Footprints and bloodstains have all stopped here, seemingly cut off by something, with no way to trace their whereabouts.

"How is this possible?"

"Brother, the surrounding area is all cliffs, that kid must have jumped off the building out of desperation, right?"

"Pah, you really think you're a fool, don't you?"

"Oh..."

The two's faces turned pale, Wuluo Tian had actually disappeared from under their eyes!

They looked towards the towering tree, one of the killers said.

"I'll go up and find Wuluo Tian, you wait for me below. If he escapes from the tree, then you can intercept him!"

"No problem."

The other killer nodded, drew out his long sword, ready for battle.

"Hey!"

The killer climbed up the tree like an ape. The pine tree was large, in the blink of an eye, the killer disappeared into the pine tree.

Just as the killer disappeared in the pine forest, a figure suddenly burst out from the ground. Before the other killer could react, a lump of snow smashed on his face, followed by a flash of red light. The killer's body trembled slightly, without even a scream, he fell to the ground, already dead.

The red light came from the dagger in Wuluo Tian's hand, the same dagger he used to kill Nan Lun. Now, he used it to attack this killer.

"Cough!"

Wuluo Tian coughed out blood again, his body somewhat unsteady.

"There's still one left, uh..."

But now he looked listless, in very bad shape, his chest had been shattered by a punch from the Immortal King, almost taking his life.

If it hadn't been for the Chi deep in the star core releasing a protective barrier at a critical moment that condensed on his chest, he would have died on Tianxueshan Mountain.

If he ran now, he would soon be discovered by the remaining killer. Attacking the previous killer was done while he was off guard, but the remaining one would definitely be more vigilant. With his depleted strength, he couldn't just leave quickly.

What should he do!

Suddenly, heavy snowflakes began to swirl in the sky, the blizzard becoming more intense. The range of visibility also began to blur, presenting him with an opportunity.

"This is truly a stroke of luck!"

Shortly after the killer climbed up the pine tree fell to the ground. When he saw that his companion had already been half-covered by the snow...

"Brother!!!" His body couldn't help but tremble.

"Does Wuluo Tian still have the strength to fight?!"

Then he saw the bloodstains leading away from the corpse, faint traces that were partially covered by the snow. They belonged to Wu Luo Tian, so he headed in that direction.

"Chase!"

The killer's face showed a resolute expression. If he retreated now, he would certainly face execution by the Immortal King. Pursuing Wu Luo Tian might not only redeem himself but also earn some merits. After a moment of contemplation, he followed the bloodstains.

Just as the killer had left, Wu Luo Tian emerged from the bloodstains, wasting no time and quicky heading in the opposite direction of the pursuing killer.

That direction led deep into Tianxueshan Mountain. Ha, Tianxueshan was peaceful on the outside, but the deeper regions were fraught with dangers.

While he focused on healing his wounds and remaining vigilant of the environment, he mocked:

"These idiots are truly ignorant. Those devils probably enjoy a good meal before going to sleep!"

Entering the depths of the snow-capped mountain alone was already dangerous, now being injured made it even riskier. If he was targeted by the creatures here, it would be extremely perilous.

The snow kept falling, growing heavier, giving the impression that a blizzard was imminent. Wu Luo Tian found it increasingly difficult to walk in the heavy snow, ultimately seeking shelter under a large rock for a brief respite.

Even though he was not yet safe, he could not afford to be careless. While the blizzard was intense, it was uncertain whether the killer would realize he had been deceived and return to pursue him.

Considering the blizzard outside, the killer would likely take breaks periodically, as even a storm of such magnitude could overwhelm an ordinary Nine Hearts expert.

After a short time, the snow completely covered the rock where Wu Luo Tian had taken shelter!

"Seems like I'm being protected by the heavens." Wu Luo Tian saw this as a sign and began to focus on recovering from his injuries.

Crack! Crack!

As his spiritual energy gradually formed inside him, his body emitted crisp sounds of bones realigning. His sunken chest slowly returned to its normal state.

With a grunt, he spat out black-red blood. Realigning his crushed sternum was excruciating, something no ordinary person could endure.

Although it was only a few minutes, it felt like an eternity of agony.

"Phew."

Taking a deep breath, Wu Luo Tian breathed out a deep red blood mist, halting the worsening of his injuries.

Estimating the recovery time would not be short, approximately three hours later, Wu Luo Tian rose from the ground, flexed his arms and clenched his fists, murmuring to himself.

"About seventy percent of my strength has been restored. Handling one or two Nine Hearts experts should be no problem, but I can no longer rely on the protection of the star core. It will take a long time to recover before I can use it again."

This time, Wu Luo Tian suffered heavy losses, almost losing his life.

"I never expected the Immortal King's strength to be at the Pre-Grade Immortal level. He has been restrained, not returning to Capital. What is he planning to do?"

Wu Luo Tian couldn't understand, but he knew there must be some conspiracy behind it.

Why would the Immortal King target his Wu family? The annihilation of his Wu family made him smell a whiff of conspiracy; it seemed the Immortal King was the mastermind behind it all.

"I am a member of the Wu family. As long as a breath of the Wu family remains, I will not allow traitors to do as they please!"

Wu Luo Tian always put his family first, but without finding the answers, would Wu Yan, who always regarded the Immortal King as a father, listen to him?

"These bastards... I will definitely find out the truth behind the annihilation of my Wu family!"

Wu Luo Tian's fist clenched, making a crackling sound.

The heavy snow fell all night, gradually easing up by the next morning.

Wu Luo Tian gently brushed aside a layer of snow to reveal the snowy world outside.

Quietly observing for a while, it seemed safe. He cleared away the accumulated snow blocking the tree hollow and slowly stepped out.

Seeing no one around, he muttered to himself, "I wonder if that killer has retreated? Him being alive would be a miracle in itself."

With a sigh of relief, he exhaled a breath, creating a white mist in the cold air. Even with his Chi protection, his white clothes had already tattered during the fight, unable to withstand the chilling wind.

Adjusting his clothes, Wu Luo Tian decided to find some food first. His stomach had started to protest, having lost his supplies during the battle, he needed to replenish energy.

"But even in such a dire situation, as a Grandmaster of the Boundless realm, I can endure. I still have some healing medicine to curb hunger, so starvation is not an option."

"Sigh, I'm so hungry..."

However, enduring was not a solution, he needed to eat to replenish the nutrients to accelerate his recovery.

Suddenly, Wu Luo Tian's heart trembled, sensing something only possible when the Chi was extremely dense—a high-level perception indicating he needed to venture deeper.

His pupils contracted, the hunger vanished instantly, and he rushed towards the direction where the dense Chi was coming from.

"What kind of entity could release the power of a top-level Boundless expert?"

Stepping on the thick snow, Wu Luo Tian followed the center of the Chi range.

"It's so difficult to walk, I can't afford to waste too much energy right now."

Despite possessing treasures, he couldn't let his guard down. Whenever sacred objects were born, they always attracted some demonic beings.

After crossing a range of continuous stone walls, Wu Luo Tian saw a lush forest at the end of it, a green oasis amidst the snowy world.

Wu Luo Tian was taken aback, then exclaimed in surprise, "How could there be such a green oasis in the snow-covered mountains?"

As he hesitated, the spiritual core inside him throbbed even more intensely, pointing straight towards the edge of the forest.

Calm now, Wu Luo Tian gritted his teeth.

"Tsk, whether it's a demonic entity or a holy object, now it all depends on my luck!"

Drawing out his last weapon, a dagger!

Approaching cautiously, Wu Luo Tian felt an inexplicably comforting sensation near the thicket.

Pushing aside the outer foliage, he saw a dazzling blood-red light emerging from a special spiritual stone!

"Is this... a Yang Spirit Stone?!" He exclaimed in disbelief.

A Yang Spirit Stone, formed only in places where extreme yin and yang intersect, would forcibly devour each other's Chi, leading to the stone's initial formation. However, it would continue to release its Chi and would need to absorb a high-level martial artist to fully manifest its color.

It was an extremely rare find even for Boundless-level warriors and cultivators, a treasure that could exchange for hundreds of Emperor-level cities! While the Spirit Stone had not completely formed yet, Wu Luo Tian estimated he had about half an hour to absorb it before it reached peak temperature.

During this time, if he could absorb the Chi... hehehe!
