The environment of Snowcloud Mountain was very harsh. With its freezing temperature in negative celsius, anything living that step on this land froze right away. If one didn't have stronger cultivation, they would die here without anyone knowing. Not just that, the snowstorm here was also unlimited, always going on without a stop.
Jin Rou and Sylvianna were traveling the mountain. So far, they had yet to be confronted by someone, but even Sylvianna could feel the intense cold here.
"This is like a damned place." Sylvianna cursed, "Who would want to live in this kind of environment? Unless they're a jerk or anything like that."
"The Winter Sect." Jin Rou smiled, "They have been living here since time immemorial."
Perhaps, no one would be able to trace back the origin of Winter Sect. After all, it was established a very long time ago. Not even Han Li was yet to be born by that time. It was one of truly oldest sects of the whole Mortalis.
Despite not having emperors or saints, they stood tall and people were treading the other way in order not to meet them. Their power was established and recognized by the masses, that not even the imperial lineages of Western Emperor could do something about them.
"You know many things about Winter?" Sylvianna asked. Out of many people, Jin Rou might be the one with the most knowledge of the sect.
"A bit." Jin Rou answered.
"Then why are they so strong?" Sylvianna assumed that Jin Rou might know something about this. It was also a question by many people. No one could exactly gauge the full strength and capabilities of Winter Sect but Jin Rou must have seen the bottom.
"Because they are strong." Jin Rou smirked.
Sylvianna knew it was hopeless thus she didn't ask further. She would just puke blood from frustration if she continued.
---
After climbing the Snowcloud Mountain for days, Jin Rou could finally saw a tower piercing the sky. Because of the nonstop snowstorm, the snow piled up in the surroundings.
"Stay within my range." Jin Rou warned Sylvianna, "You're strong, but you cannot underestimate the strength of Winter Sect."
No one would ever dare underestimate Winter Sect. Millions of powerhouses had fallen down and suffered grave consequences for merely underestimating this sect with no emperors and saints.
They wouldn't reach this stage unless they didn't qualify to be here.
Soon, a woman in snow white robe appeared from the tower gate. She slowly flew over with an umbrella by her hand. Wearing a mask to keep her identity unknown, she flew over and stopped a few meters before Jin Rou.
She was observing the other party as her white eyes glowed. Then, the woman couldn't help but laugh and said, "This is an unexpected visit from such a being. What made you come here?"
Her tone sounded like Jin Rou's identity wasn't a big deal to their sect. And right away, she could already determine who was the visitor.
She looked over at the little girl in gothic black dress by Jin Rou's side and added, "You even brought a Blackmauve here. I don't know what might be your purpose."
"Snowdale, I want to see your ancestor." Jin Rou was very direct to the point.
"And why would you need to see our ancestor?" The woman named Snowdale asked. Her tone was getting colder, "As far as I remembered, you already cut off your ties with us and abandoned the ancestor. And yet, you're here wanting to see her? Do you really think that we are your lackeys?"
Sylvianna could feel the intense hatred of the other party. It seemed that something happened in the past between the two and for the Winter Sect, it's not fixable.
"Snowdale, don't test my patience. Do you think you and the Winter Sect is enough in stopping me?" Jin Rou tried to threaten Snowdale.
"Here you go with your threats." Snowdale laughed sarcastically, "Just because you are strong, you think you can pull your weight anytime and anywhere. While it's true that you have the power to destroy Winter Sect, can you bear it? If you can, go and do it then! I'm daring you, Han Li."
Hearing this, Jin Rou couldn't help but sigh. Han Li left a big mess here and he needed to mend it to get to that sea. Han Li was surely an adept in hurting other people's feelings.
In the past, Han Li had a strong connection with the Winter Sect, their sudden rise in fame was also due to Han Li. Of course, their abilities were real and Han Li just pushed them a bit to their limits to exceed their strengths.
However, a certain circumstance made Han Li leave the Winter Sect. He didn't come back until now, over five hundred million years passed.
"Do you really need to push my hand?" Jin Rou took a deep breath. He was greatly affected by Han Li's emotion right now. Perhaps, this was one of Han Li's biggest regrets in life.
If Jin Rou needed to force his way, he would even if he needed to hurt them again. He just wanted to see the ancestor, and that's all. He wouldn't do anything that could harm them or whatnot.
"Go and do what you did in the past. In your eyes, we are just fishes on the chopping board, right? So go ahead and kill us!" Snowdale was turning lunatic. Her hatred for Han Li was over the top.
She couldn't forget what happened in the past which made the ancestor bleed and cry for years and years. No one could help her as the problem wasn't a physical wound.
This man named Han Li scarred their ancestor for life and he's responsible for what happened to the ancestor in the past. So how could they welcome Jin Rou with open hearts?
It was already a miracle that Snowdale didn't took out her weapon and tried to slice the other party's throat. It's a suicide attempt on her part, but her life didn't matter for her anyway.
