Extreme Spirit Chaos Technique

Bingli and Nameless watched in horror as the ice spikes, which had been aimed at Nameless, suddenly swiveled and locked onto Duan Wang!

Nameless was the quickest to react. He grabbed the giant scythe Duan Wang was about to bring down and roared, "Duan Wang, stop! This is a protective instinct generated by the surrounding Ice Elemental Power. Bingli isn’t controlling it! If you fight back, the Ice Elemental Power will attack you relentlessly!"

"Urk..."

Even the battle-hardened Duan Wang was momentarily stunned. ’To think someone this powerful actually exists...’ He glanced from Nameless to Bingli, and then it hit him. ’Wait!’

"Are you saying she... she’s Bingli?! The Master of Profound Ice Valley, Bingli?!"

His killing intent vanished in an instant.

"Hm?" Nameless was taken aback. "Yes, she is. Did you not know?"

"I’ve heard the name, but this is the first time I’ve seen her in person," Duan Wang replied.

"Want an autograph?"

"No, not at all."

"..."

Bingli remained silent off to the side, her turbulent emotions subsiding. The myriad ice spikes shattered, dissolving into fine crystals that scattered on the wind as if they had never existed.

"Bingli, it seems your condition is even more serious than I thought," Nameless said gravely. "It was definitely the right decision to call you here today."

Bingli gave Nameless a questioning look. "Just say what you need to. If I’m away too long, the Valley Elders will start to grumble."

Nameless nodded. "Right. Since you’re both here, I’ll get straight to the point. I’ve brought you here to entrust a task to you."

"A task?" Bingli said coldly. "Why should I accept a task from you?" She turned as if to leave.

Seeing this, Nameless wasn’t concerned at all. Instead, he gave a confident smile and said softly, "What if this task could solve the very problem that troubles you most, Bingli?"

"Ah..."

Bingli, who had just turned away, froze in her tracks. But she quickly shook her head. "Impossible. There is no one left in this world who can solve my problem. Not unless you can find an Emperor Realm expert..."

"I can’t find an Emperor Realm expert, but they aren’t the only ones who can solve your problem. There is also... a race that was thought to be extinct."

"You mean... the Snow Moon Spirit Fox Clan?" Bingli asked, her voice filled with astonishment and disbelief.

Nameless affirmed, "The very same. The Snow Moon Spirit Fox Clan. I’m afraid that in the whole of the Extreme Martial Continent, they are the only ones who can save you."

Bingli didn’t hear Nameless’s next words. Her mind was completely consumed by the name—Snow Moon Spirit Fox. Inevitably, her thoughts drifted back to her own life, a life both legendary and tragic. The hope on her face slowly faded into desolation. The surrounding Ice Attribute Elemental Power responded to her emotions again, and the air temperature plummeted. In less than a moment, snowflakes as large as goose feathers blanketed the ground, and a blizzard threatened to erupt. In the blink of an eye, the bamboo grove, once filled with the scent of a summer morning, transformed into an isolated, wintry wasteland.

"What... what’s happening now?"

Duan Wang’s sensing power was a hundred times more sensitive than an ordinary person’s. He felt a deep sense of crisis from the bizarre phenomenon and couldn’t stop himself from asking aloud.

With a sigh, Nameless gave a wry smile and took a deep breath. "Many people know of this particular legend. I would have thought you’d know it as well."

He reached out, catching a thumb-sized snowflake in his palm and watching it slowly melt. "It’s because of her constitution," Nameless murmured, as if to himself. "From the day she was born, Bingli was hailed as a peerless genius. She possesses a physique found nowhere else in the world... the Ice Spirit Divine Body."
