Lin Feng, Su Mo and Lily were also practicing hard in the sect. Although their qualifications were not as good as Xiaoxue's, under her encouragement, they gradually improved their strength. Lin Feng became more proficient in swordsmanship, Su Mo's spell power increased, and Lily mastered more elemental power through continuous magic practice.
One day, the sect held a disciple competition. All the disciples gathered in the square and the atmosphere was lively. Xiaoxue stood aside, watching the fierce competition on the stage, and couldn't help but feel a desire in her heart.
"I want to become stronger and protect my friends and family." Xiaoxue swore secretly, with a determined light shining in her eyes.
After the competition, the elders announced the winner and gave rewards. Xiaoxue's fighting spirit ignited in her heart, and she decided to participate in the next competition to win honors for herself and her friends.
"Xue'er, you can definitely do it!" Lily encouraged, her eyes full of trust.
"I will work hard!" Xiaoxue nodded firmly, her heart full of strength.
A few months later, Xiaoxue's cultivation level continued to improve, and she had become a dazzling pearl in the sect. Her ice and snow spells became more and more sophisticated, and she could even summon an ice and snow storm in an instant, shocking everyone.
"You are so amazing!" Lin Feng and Su Mo marveled at her, and their hearts were filled with pride.
"This is all your support, which gives me the courage." Xiaoxue smiled slightly, with a hint of warmth in her eyes.
At this moment, urgent news came from the sect. An evil force appeared in the outside world and was approaching the Frost Sect. The disciples became nervous, and the elders also began to deploy defensive measures.
"This time we have to face it together!" Lin Feng clenched his fists, with a firm light shining in his eyes, "We must not let the evil forces harm anyone here!"
Xiaoxue nodded, and her heart ignited. Fighting spirit. She knew she had to become stronger to protect those around her. So, she began to practice with all her strength, striving to exert her full strength in the upcoming battle.
“Let’s work hard together!” Su Mo and Lily also said, the three of them hugged each other tightly, their hearts full of faith and hope.
A few days later, the evil forces finally came to the edge of the Frost Sect, and the dark figures came like a tide, which was terrifying. Xiaoxue, Lin Feng, Su Mo and Lily stood at the front line of the sect with firm eyes, ready to face the upcoming challenges.
"No matter what happens, we must stand together!" Lin Feng said loudly, his voice echoing in the air, giving everyone confidence.
"Yes, we will not back down!" Xiaoxue's voice was firm and clear, as if a force of ice and snow was surging in her heart.
With the sound of the horn, the battle officially begins. Xiaoxue and her friends fought side by side, ice and snow spells intertwined with sword light, forming an unstoppable barrier. Their beliefs coalesced into a powerful force at this moment, and they vowed to protect this land and the people they loved.
The battle became more and more intense, but Xiaoxue always maintained a firmness and courage in her heart. She knew that she was not only avenging her mother, but also fighting for the future of herself and her friends.
The atmosphere of the battle has become increasingly tense, and the confrontation between the disciples of the Frost Sect and the evil forces has entered a fierce stage. Xiaoxue and her friends fought side by side, and ice and snow spells swept in like a violent storm, freezing several enemies in an instant. However, while Xiaoxue was concentrating on casting the frost spell, Lin Feng was fighting the enemy in front, facing huge danger.
"Lin Feng, be careful!" Xiaoxue's heart tightened as she saw Lin Feng confronting the leader of an evil force. The leader exuded a dark aura and held a long black knife in his hand. Extremely cunning.
"It's okay, I can handle it!" Lin Feng smiled slightly. Although he was a little nervous, he didn't want Xiaoxue to worry. At this moment, the leader suddenly showed a sinister smile and suddenly attacked Lin Feng while he was unprepared.
“Go to hell!” The leader’s voice was like deep thunder. The sword flashed and a black shadow headed towards Lin Feng. Xiaoxue was startled, and time seemed to freeze at this moment. Her body involuntarily rushed in the direction of Lin Feng, trying to distance him from danger.
"Lin Feng, get out of the way!" Xiaoxue tried her best, her voice seemed extremely urgent on the battlefield. However, Lin Feng had no time to react. The long black knife flashed across like lightning and hit him hard on the shoulder.
“Ah!” Lin Feng groaned in pain, and blood instantly poured out, dyeing his clothes red. His body was knocked to the ground by the huge force, and his eyes flashed with unbelievable shock. Xiaoxue's heart was as sharp as a knife, and tears burst out of her eyes instantly.
"Brother Lin Feng!" Her voice sounded extremely desperate on the battlefield, and a sense of powerlessness surged in her heart. She knew that if Lin Feng was not rescued in time, he might face greater danger. A strong fighting spirit ignited in Xiaoxue's heart. She would never let Lin Feng fall.
"I'll protect you!" Xiaoxue roared, and the power of ice and snow surged around her, instantly condensing into an ice wall that separated Lin Feng from the leader. Her face was full of determination, and she secretly swore in her heart that she would protect Lin Feng no matter what the cost.
"You little thing, how dare you hinder my plan!" The leader sneered, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and the sword in his hand flashed again, approaching Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue felt fear in her heart, but she knew that she could not retreat.
"The power of frost, seal!" Xiaoxue raised her hands and instantly summoned countless ice spikes, flying towards the leader. Ice spikes fell like raindrops, heading towards the leader's body. The leader looked surprised and hurriedly waved his sword to resist, but the ice spikes were incredibly fast and surrounded him instantly.
"Hmph, you want to use this little trick against me?" The leader snorted coldly, the sword flashed, drawing a black arc of light, and forcefully split the ice thorn. However, taking advantage of the moment when he was distracted, Xiaoxue took the opportunity to rush towards Lin Feng, gently touching his shoulders with her hands, praying silently in her heart.
"You must hold on, I will save you!" Xiaoxue's voice was gentle but firm, with tears shining in her eyes. She felt Lin Feng's body temperature dropping rapidly, and her heart hurt like a knife.
"Xue'er, I'm fine..." Lin Feng smiled slightly. Although his face was pale, he tried hard to reassure Xiaoxue. But Xiaoxue didn't want to believe it. Her hand gently covered Lin Feng's wound, and the power of ice and snow gathered in her palm, trying to heal him.
However, as Xiaoxue's power continued to be consumed, she felt a wave of weakness coming over her, and her heart tightened. At this moment, the leader took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, and the sword light came directly towards Xiaoxue. "Go to hell!" the leader roared, and the light of the sword flashed across like lightning, heading straight into Xiaoxue's heart. Xiaoxue's heart tightened and she had no time to react. She could only close her eyes and silently recite her promise to Lin Feng.
"Xue'er, go quickly!" Lin Feng tried his best to stand up, but was unable to do anything due to his heavy injuries. His voice echoed in Xiaoxue's ears, with great anxiety and helplessness.
"I won't leave, I will definitely save you!" Xiaoxue's voice was firm and clear, and fearless courage ignited in her heart. At this critical moment, her body was suddenly surrounded by a powerful force, and the power of ice and snow surged around her, as if it had turned into an indestructible barrier.
"Ice and Snow Shield!" Xiaoxue shouted in her heart, instantly wrapping herself and Lin Feng in it. Just when the sword light was about to fall, the shield collided with it, making a deafening noise. The power of ice and snow intertwined with the power of darkness, instantly generating a huge shock wave, knocking back the surrounding enemies.
“What a powerful force!” The leader looked shocked and secretly panicked in his heart. He didn't expect that Xiaoxue's potential was so huge, that she could burst out with such powerful power at the moment of life and death. But Xiaoxue's body was also under tremendous pressure at this moment, blood overflowed from the corners of her mouth, and her face became extremely pale.
"Xue'er!" Lin Feng's heart ached, and the sight in front of him made his heart ache.
As Xiaoxue's shield blocked the leader's attack, everything on the battlefield seemed to be frozen. Xiaoxue's body retreated due to the powerful repulsion, and blood slid down the corners of her lips. Lin Feng's heart was filled with anxiety and helplessness, and the scene in front of him made him extremely painful.
"Xue'er, don't worry, I will protect you!" He tried to stand up, but the severe pain in his shoulder made him unable to do anything. At this moment, the leader's roar sounded again, and the sword flashed, heading towards Xiaoxue. Lin Feng was anxious, and instantly felt a strong sense of crisis welling up in his heart.
"Go!" He shouted to Xiaoxue with all his strength. Although his voice was weak, it was full of determination. Xiaoxue's eyes met Lin Feng, and a fearless courage surged in her heart, but she knew that her power was no longer enough.
"I can't leave you!" Xiaoxue's voice was like a weak candle. However, at this critical moment, the sounds of fighting around him became more intense, and the enemy's attacks came like a tide. Xiaoxue's shield was under tremendous pressure and seemed likely to collapse at any time.
"Xue'er, listen to me and leave quickly!" Lin Feng's voice contained a hint of despair, and his eyes shone with reluctance and determination. The moment Xiaoxue hesitated, Lin Feng felt cruel and suddenly pushed Xiaoxue away with force.
"Lin Feng!" Xiaoxue exclaimed, watching helplessly as Lin Feng was shrouded in the enemy's sword light. Her heart felt like it was being torn apart and she couldn't bear the pain. At this moment, Lin Feng's body was suddenly pushed back by a force, blood spurted out wildly, and his body flew backwards like a kite with broken strings, and finally fell heavily to the ground.
"Lin Feng!" Xiaoxue felt despair in her heart, and tears burst into her eyes. She tried her best to rush back, but the enemies around her came like a tide, making it impossible to get close to Lin Feng. At the moment when her heart was filled with despair, Lin Feng's figure gradually blurred, and then was swallowed by darkness.
"I can't just give up!" An obsession ignited in Xiaoxue's heart, but her body became weak due to excessive consumption. Just when she was about to lose consciousness, the sounds of fighting around her gradually faded away, and her vision became dim.

When Xiaoxue woke up again, she found herself lying in a strange place. Surrounded by green mountains and forests, the clear lake water sparkles in the sun. She tried to sit up, feeling filled with doubts and uneasiness.
"You're awake." A gentle voice came into her ears. Xiaoxue turned around and saw a woman in a white robe with a beautiful face and a light of wisdom in her eyes.
"Who are you?" Xiaoxue was a little wary, but she felt a little warm in her heart.
"I am the patron saint of Qiandao Lake, and my name is Qinglan." The woman smiled slightly, with concern in her eyes, "Your friend was seriously injured and is looking for strength to save you."
Xiaoxue's heart I was shocked and instantly thought of Lin Feng. She hurriedly asked: "Where is he? I must save him!"
Qinglan said softly: "Your current strength is not enough to face the evil forces, but if you are willing, I can help you , giving you more power." Her voice was like a spring breeze, soothing.
Xiaoxue hesitated in her heart, but she knew that she could not give up just now. For Lin Feng and for the people she loves, she must become stronger.
"I do!" Xiaoxue replied firmly, with an unyielding light shining in her eyes.
Qinglan nodded slightly, and a ball of ice-blue light condensed in his hand, slowly flying towards Xiaoxue's heart. In an instant, Xiaoxue felt a powerful force pouring into her body. The power of ice and snow flowed in her blood, as if it was integrated with her soul.
"This power will make you stronger, but it also requires you to control it with your heart." Qinglan's voice was like a whisper, with a hint of mystery.
Xiaoxue closed her eyes and felt the power rolling through her body, as if countless ice and snow elves were dancing in her heart. Her heart was filled with faith and courage, as if everything was calling to her.
"Thank you, Qinglan!" Xiaoxue opened her eyes with a determined light, "I will use this power to save Lin Feng!"
Qinglan smiled slightly and pointed her finger. With a gentle wave, the surrounding scenery changed instantly. The water of Qiandao Lake sparkled in the sun, as if applauding Xiaoxue's determination.
"Go, child, to save the one you love." Qinglan's voice echoed in Xiaoxue's ears, with a hint of encouragement and blessing.
Xiaoxue took a deep breath, igniting fearless courage in her heart, turned around and ran towards the exit of Qiandao Lake. She knew that Lin Feng was waiting for her, and she would never let him down.
——
At the same time, Lin Feng struggled in the darkness, his consciousness gradually blurring. Just when he was about to fall into despair, the figure of Xiaoxue suddenly appeared in his heart, and her firm eyes were like a ray of light, illuminating the darkness in his heart.
"I must live, for Xue'er!" A strong fighting spirit ignited in Lin Feng's heart, and he struggled hard, trying to break free from the darkness. At this moment, he felt a warm force welling up from the bottom of his heart, as if a pair of invisible hands were pulling him and leading him out of the desperate situation.
"I can't just fall down like this!" Lin Feng roared in his heart and tried his best to open his eyes. The darkness in front of him gradually dissipated and was replaced by light. (End of this chapter)
