C1179 Xuerong City
After determining that it was a saber-toothed ice tiger, Xue Yan shouted to the city guards: "Formation!"
"Yes sir!" "Yes!" The city guards replied in unison, before forming into a neat formation. Now that Xue Xiu and the Icy Tiger Swordteeth attacked at the same time, they had to muster up all their energy.
"Roar!" A tiger's roar sounded once more.
After the tiger's roar, the ugly faces of the Snow Elves all revealed expressions of terror, each and every one of them agitated and restless.
"Wuwuwu …" Snow Elf King's voice rang out once more.
When the Snow Demon heard this, they immediately turned around and ran away. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the mountains.
Although Xue Yu had run away, Xue Yan and the city guards did not let their guard down. This was because they could sense that this Swordteeth Ice Tiger was extremely powerful. To them, this Swordteeth Ice Tiger was even more of a threat than Xue Yu.
After a long while, the Sword Toothed Ice Tiger's roar didn't come again, but a powerful aura was quickly approaching.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Xue Yan said in a deep voice.
Although the Saber-Toothed Ice Tiger was the symbol of the Snow Wind Royal Family, it could still kill those who attacked the city without permission. However, until now, there had never been a precedent for a Saber-Toothed Ice Tiger attacking a city.
"It's coming!" A commander of the city guards said as he looked at the distant snow falling from the horizon.
Xue Yan's eyes revealed a hint of shock as she looked at the phantom. Not only could he sense the Sword Toothed Ice Tiger's aura, she could also sense a familiar aura that she couldn't be more familiar with.
That aura was his daughter, Xue Shu.
His daughter was obviously taken away by someone, but why was she brought back by a saber-toothed Ice Tiger? Could it be that the one who took his daughter away was a saber-toothed Ice Tiger?
It was understandable that Xue Yan could think like that. This saber-toothed Ice Tiger's Cultivation was already a Medial Stage Demigod, it could completely transform into a human form. Furthermore, the man who took his daughter away also used the true meaning of water.
That saber-toothed Ice Tiger's speed was surprisingly fast, and in a short while, it arrived in front of Xue Yan and the others.
People could clearly see that there were two people standing on top of the huge tiger head. One was a young man in a red robe with an English opera appearance, and the other was a lady in light blue light clothing with a graceful figure and a veil covering her face.
These two people were Qin Yun and Xue Shu.
Xue Yan and the city guards were stunned when they saw the scene unfolding in front of them. The saber-toothed ice tiger was a prideful beast, but it was able to tolerate others standing on its head. Everyone's eyes gathered on Qin Yun, the mysterious person.
"You're here." Qin Yun said lightly to Xue Shu.
Then, he looked at Xue Shu's Xue Yan and said, "That should be your father."
"Yes." Xue Shu replied. Although she had safely returned to Blood Fusion City and her father, whom she yearned for, was right in front of her, her heart revealed a hint of complexity.
Xue Yan waved her hands towards the city guards, signalling them to put away their weapons. From the looks of it, this saber-toothed Ice Tiger didn't have any hostility towards them, and Xue Shu was still wearing her veil.
"Swish!" With a sound, Xue Yan's body turned into a ray of spiritual light and appeared in front of the saber-toothed ice tiger.
"Xue Rong City's Mayor Xue Yan greets senior." Although he did not know of Qin Yun's Cultivation, the fact that Qin Yun was able to make the Swordteeth Ice Tiger her mount meant that her strength was definitely not ordinary.
"Go." Qin Yun said to Xue Shu with a smile.
Xue Shu jumped down from the Swordteeth Ice Tiger's head and came to Xue Yan's side. "Father, I've made you worry."
Xue Yan smiled and said: "In a while, let's go see your mother."
With that, Xue Yan turned to Qin Yun and said, "Thank you for saving my daughter. I, Xue Rong City, can't thank you enough."
When Qin Yun heard Xue Yan's words, a trace of doubt appeared in her eyes. Even if she had safely returned his daughter, he would not be so calm. What if she had done something to her?
Just as Qin Yun was feeling puzzled, Xue Yan instructed a lieutenant beside him, "Prepare a feast. I want to invite Senior over."1
"Yes sir!" The lieutenant responded and his figure turned into a beam of light, immediately leaving.
"Senior, after you." Xue Yan said respectfully to Qin Yun.
"Fine." Qin Yun had initially planned to leave immediately after sending Xue Shu back. However, seeing the attitude of the city lord of Snow Harmony City, he did not think it appropriate for him to leave immediately.
"Bingwen, come with me." Qin Yun said to the sword-toothed Ice Tiger beneath his feet.
"Roar!" The saber-toothed Ice Tiger let out a low growl and its body flashed, transforming into a cold-looking middle-aged man wearing a white tight suit.
Following that, Qin Yun, Xue Yan and Xue Shu headed towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion …
"..."
Within the City Lord's Mansion of Blood Fusion City.
A few tables made of sparkling and translucent jade were placed around the enormous fire cauldron. Due to the rush of events, they simply set up a feast.
Xue Yan and a middle-aged beautiful woman were sitting together. The first table to the left of Xue Yan was Qin Yun, and the table beside Qin Yun was Xue Shu.
Bing Wang did not like such banquets and remained outside alone. Qin Yun did not care about him and allowed him to leave.
"Why is your father so warm to me? And why is he making you sit by my side?" Qin Yun whispered to Xue Shu.
"I don't know either." Xue Shu's eyes revealed a hint of bashfulness as she gently lowered her head.
"Senior's righteousness, I, Xue Yan, admire it. I will first toast three times to you." Xue Yan stood up and said.
"Thank you, senior, for saving my daughter from the hands of the bandits, my first goblet of wine."
"The second goblet of wine. Many thanks to senior for being able to scare away Snow Elf King. For the time being, I wish to ensure the safety of my city."
"The third goblet of wine, you can return my daughter unharmed."
With that, he drank all three cups of wine in succession.
When Qin Yun heard the city lord's words, he revealed a faint smile. "The Frigid Snow Elf was made by Ice Vote. It's a shame that he had to drink this wine. It was only along my way that he rescued the second young miss and gave her back. There's no need to thank me."
"Senior's righteousness." Xue Yan respectfully said: "Senior, I wonder if you can tell me your respected name."
"There's no need for that. It's just a small matter." Qin Yun said with a smile.
In the boundless universe, it was very normal for many powerful cultivators to not leave their names.
"Then I'll take the liberty of punishing myself." Xue Yan picked up the wine cup in her hand and drank it all in one gulp.
"City Lord, I have a question. I wonder if you can answer it for me?" Qin Yun asked Xue Yan.
"Senior, please ask something." Senior, please ask something. Xue Yan replied with a smile.
"I saw that there were so many snow elves behind the mountain. The City Lord must have gathered these tens of thousands of City Guards just to deal with them." Qin Yun said indifferently.
"That's right. This time, the Snow Elf King has gathered 80,000 Snow Elves, preparing to invade our city." Xue Yan replied in a low voice.
