The polar night that lasted for three months made it easy for people to lose their sense of time, not to mention that the storm and snow were already confusing to the senses, and Li Yunuan, who was forced to move forward in the snow, followed the instructions of the star shavings and walked indifferently, until his legs were almost numb, and finally stepped on an abnormality.

Unlike the dreary of frozen soil, there is a bit buzz when you step on it, and it seems that metal is buried underneath.

Metal?

North Stygian Ice Palace!

Gradually distracted by the endless walking, Li Yunuan hurriedly squatted down, took out an iron drill and shovel from the Qiankun bag, and smashed and pushed away the ice on the metal surface. In the dim aurora, she could see an old bronze relief beneath the snow, and the part where her foot stepped on happened to be a bulge in the relief. So she cleaned it up further, only to find that the scale of the relief was far beyond her expectations!

Three steps back, barely recognized that the swept out of the two zhang square part is only the face of the relief, the lines are the strange abstraction of the ancient times, rough but smooth, due to the long-term ice and snow cover, the surface of the relief is not seriously corroded, engraved in the protrusion of the facial features or the depression of the ancient totem pattern, are clear and delicate.

This is a great creation that has traveled through time itself, and even those who do not understand the value of antiques will be awed by the antique atmosphere it exudes at the first glance.

Li Yunuan touched the cold surface of the bronze, she knew very little about these ancient things, and could not judge the casting age of the relief and the civilization to which it belonged by the totem patterns.

She could only be sure that the bronze reliefs were related to the North Stygian Ice Palace.

"This relief...... Isn't it the Ice Palace's...... Part of it?"

asked herself, and at the same time asked, but Yuehua did not answer.

Li Yunuan then closed his eyes, and his vision saw that the star chips around the bronze relief were extremely dense, second only to a huge building ten zhang away that was mostly sealed in ice. But around the building with terrifying mana fluctuations, in addition to dense star chips, there were also various spiritual power fluctuations - this was the official entrance to the Northern Bronze Palace!

Most of the senior brothers of the Ten Thousand Masters are also there!

But Li Yunuan didn't dare to be impulsive, and the prudence cultivated by thorns along the way had been burned into the bone marrow. She carefully distinguished the fluctuations of the aura around the Bronze Palace, and found that the aura in the square was mixed, except that there was no spiritual power operation of the disciples of the Ten Thousand Origin Sect that she was familiar with, that is to say, they had indeed entered the Ice Palace as Yuehua's predecessor said!

Really!

Li Yunuan is not stupid, let alone stupid, although this is the second time she has left the sect to carry out foreign affairs, what she has seen and heard along the way is enough for her to realize that the relationship between Wan Shi Sect and the other members of the alliance is not as harmonious as rumored.

In public, the various sects are naturally attached to the Wan Shi Sect who holds the bull's ear. But just like a hyena is afraid of lions, but dares to grin at a lone cub, because of the covenant and prohibition, only low-level disciples can enter the Northern Netherworld Secret Realm, and if she rashly enters a gathering place without the same sect, the situation is tantamount to breaking into a lion cub in the hyena group.

Even though most of the sect disciples who stayed in the gathering place were of noble character, she knew the dark side of human nature and did not dare to rashly put her hopes on the unknown.

With her mind already decided, Li Yunuan formally and seriously analyzed the bronze reliefs, and this time the overly dense star chips made her sure that this was probably another entrance to the Ice Palace.

Yuehua's predecessors said that the master of the North Stygian Ice Palace is too often unsurpassed in the achievements of the mechanism, how can such a person have only one entry and exit of the highest masterpiece in his life? If there is really only one entry and exit, then the only entry and exit will be the biggest mechanism!

Brother Yeyin also said that smart people like to hide the most important things in the most unlikely places, and the more obvious things they are, the easier it is to be ignored. The so-called blind spot is actually a competition of intelligence.

If Tai Chang is really a smart person comparable to Brother Yeyin and Yuehua's predecessors, then entering the Ice Palace along the route painstakingly excavated by several generations of disciples of the sect will not only be impossible to gain, but will even encounter an unprecedented crisis because of going too deep!

And these, Yuehua's predecessors have long known it!

So he asked her to take advantage of the heavy snow and the team to get separated, and he didn't hesitate to spend his own essence to send her a creation!

Because this other path is one that is by no means open up by normal means.

Li Yunuan suddenly felt a little afraid, from the moment she got the demon seduction bracelet, her fate was like being dragged by an invisible clue, and she passed by death again and again, and got an incredible creation in an unbelievable time...... There is an omnipotent hand that pushes her onto the established track and runs towards the future of destiny.

But so what? Even if she is reduced to a pawn, she just wants to live, get the strength to do it, and fulfill her promise to the tens of millions of corpses in Nantang!

Look no further!

Even, she was glad that she had chosen. How many people are eager to be favored by fate but can't, how can she Li Yunuan become a toy of destiny!

......

The hand rests gently on the nose of the bronze relief, which is an extremely important point on the chart of star chips.

Carefully caressed, rubbing inch by inch, the structure of the nose was abnormally hard, and every place that the fingers touched was unexpectedly solid and smooth, and there was not even a gap in the welding.

But she always thought that there was something else in this place, something that shouldn't have existed.

Where is it?

Where the hell is it!

Beep - Boom - Boom

A spot of light exploded in the sky, Li Yunuan raised his head, looking at the sudden burst of aurora like daylight, the light was fleeting, but the afterglow left behind was enough to make everyone who witnessed this spectacle feel a tingling pain......

...... The deafening sound came over the stormy waves, she was isolated on the edge of the cliff, the wind of depression blowing, blowing the vitality to the ground, and at her feet, the waves rolled and foamed at the white foam and beat the ice cliff, in front of her—

...... The woman, the woman who was pierced through her body by countless bronze vines, her tattered white clothes flew like butterflies in the cold wind. The heart at the tip beat steadily, pumping blood slowly dripping down the vines and soaking through the ice. She was dying, her neck was as noble as a swan, her face was covered in a hideous bronze mask, and her pale golden eyes were extremely scorching......

“...... Repentance?"

The softness of the sound source that could not be determined flew by, like **** honey, but with a decisive taste, it flowed through the side of the ear, and the pain was so painful that the skin was torn.

However, the woman who was pierced by the bronze did not speak, perhaps she did, but she was too weak to make any sound. When the wind blew again, the woman and the bronze vines turned into flying snow, and only the bronze mask fell heavily!

Bang Dang!

With a clear, piercing sound, the mask fell out of thin air and landed on the bronze relief.

The things in the illusion were actually brought to the truth, and after a little surprise, Li Yunuan regained her composure.

- Most likely, he accidentally ran into a weak point in the space of some powerful person, causing the mask to fall out!

If you look closely, you can feel that the mask contains abundant mana, and even if ten thousand years have passed, the remaining majesty is still awe-inspiring!

It should be a mighty relic.

But what really surprised Li Yunuan was that the facial features on the mask were actually bronze reliefs...... Almost exactly the same!

Even the subtle patterns are the same!

It's simply an equal scale down, or - zoom in!

But......

Light golden eyes......

The eyes of the woman in the hallucination were as bright as gold, but the mask in her hand, the eyes—

Li Yunuan turned over the mask and found that a precision mechanism was designed at the nose of the mask, and when the mask was put on, the face and the mask coincided, and the bronze eyelids would automatically retract, revealing the wearer's eyes!

My guess was correct, there was a mechanism hidden in the nose, but ...... How can I open the mechanism on the back of the relief......

Li Yunuan once again put his hands on the nose of the big relief, and pressed it hard, but the bronze statue still did not move.

- The relief is made of a single piece of bronze, and external forces cannot-

No, bronze is an alloy, and even the most delicate bronze products are - melted and cast!

Melt?!

The mouth is open!

The mask is welded together, and the only way to open it is to melt open the nose wing, put your hand in it, and open the mechanism hidden behind the nose wing!

Need...... Phoenix Fire!

But can I control the flames just like the phoenix and melt the bronze without destroying the mechanism below?

Li Yunuan glanced at her hands and always felt a little ridiculous, but there were no more choices at the moment.

Taking a step back, her left hand was folded on the back of her right hand, and the phoenix brand began to glow, and golden droplets flowed out of her fingertips in the scorching heat, all of which were star shavings that she had refined!

Legend has it that star chips are the hardest thing in the world, and if you can refine star chips into a part of your body, you should be able to turn bronze into them!

She took a calm breath, and the scorching air flow flowed into the limbs and bones with Zhihai as the center, and finally turned into a pale golden flame that ignited from her fingers and hair, wrapping the star chips and dripping heavily, leaving shallow holes on the surface of the bronze relief!

Although the moment it melted, it condensed again due to the low temperature of the Northern Underworld.

Sure enough!

Encouraged to do so, she got down on her knees and pressed her hands above her nose.

The palm of her hand is scorching heat, and the hard bronze immediately softens when she presses it, but the next heat control is the key, she must control the flames just right, so that the bronze melts without destroying the mechanism......

Forcibly suppressed the excitement, Li Yunuan increased the heat under his palm, and the bronze turned into semi-liquid because of her scorching heat, and his hands were about to sink in! Li Yunuan hurriedly pressed the heat of the beast clan, only concentrated the flame in the center, and immediately stopped after burning a hole!

The wind blew through the extreme cold of the North Underworld, and the half-melted bronze solidified like frozen waves with lines, leaving only a hole the thickness of the index finger in the center.

Whew-

With a long sigh, Li Yunuan began to consolidate the results.

After sticking his index finger into the cave and turning around a few times, after making sure that the passage was unimpeded, he stretched out another finger full of flames, slowly probed, carefully melting and widening the edge of the tunnel, so carefully rubbing it for about half a pillar of incense, and finally even the whole hand could reach in!

Whew-whew-

Click!

The fingertips finally touched the mechanism hidden in the depths of the bronze shell cave, and it was too often to remember, although this mechanism has not been moved for 10,000 years, it is still brand new, after being activated by the fingers, with a thin rumble, there are two more dark holes in the eye sockets!

One lives, one dies!

There is no signage, but Li Yunuan also knows that there is a choice of life and death hidden in the two intersections!

It's a pity that I don't know anything about Taichang's life, and I don't know how to make a decision here-

Too often......

Yuehua's predecessors and Phoenix have said that Taichang likes the etiquette rules the most, so the setting of the left and right passages must also follow the rules, left and right!

That is, the left leads to where the most important things are!

One step out, just about to step on it, Li Yunuan suddenly remembered another detail!

This is a bronze mask relief, that is, the left side as seen by the eye, to the right side of the person wearing the mask!

The right is the real left!
