Eren stared at the delicate snowflake melting on his warm palm, lost in contemplation. Both his targets were here, and he had an opportunity to take out both of them.
"That seems like a better option. I can't judge how Ye Liang will react when his master disappears. Giving him an opportunity to do something would be foolish," he mumbled under his breath, making up his mind.
The utmost priority for him right now was to complete the option. He rose in the air and flew towards the peak of the mountain.
Yelen flew beside him, accompanying him like a silent follower.
While flying, Eren made sure that he didn't use the Sword Emperor's Aura. Even the slightest trace of it was enough to give away his identity.
To further reinforce his stealth, he used the Dragon Tongue.
"Erase Presence."
Once the Dragon Tongue was used, his presence completely disappeared. It was to the point that one couldn't even notice him until he was standing right before them.
"This thing is quite useful. It lowers my dependencies on talismans," he said, quite satisfied with the effectiveness of the spell.
The Dragon Language was slowly becoming one of his favorite skills as it wasn't just useful for battles. It was also quite versatile.
....
At the peak of the mountain, there was a frozen palace that appeared like it was made from snow crystals.
It wasn't as big as the Sect Master's Palace, but compared to Eren's small house, the difference wasn't even heaven and earth but heaven and hell.
"There is one more person who needs to die. But I won't need my disciple to make that happen! This trip to the Western Continent... It shall be your last, Ren!'
He entered the main hall where he had made a throne which looked similar to the Sect Master's throne. No one knew that he had made a similar throne in the main hall as no one was allowed to enter here.
Only he could enter here, and every time he looked at the throne, he was even more determined to reach that place in the future.
He walked over to the throne, which was only a replica made with snow.
"Only a few more decades, and I will have the real thing. Everything in this world would be at my feet..."
His fingers brushed against the smooth armrest as he closed his eyes, losing himself in a beautiful dream of the future.
As he closed his eyes, he didn't notice that behind a pillar, a young man was standing, hiding from view.
Eren had worn a mark over his face, just as a precaution to make sure that even if someone saw him coming here or leaving, Ren Necroline wasn't going to be linked to it. He was in the library reading the history books after all.
"He has closed his eyes. Are you going to use the goblet to seal the space?" Yelen asked Eren as she kept looking back at the Frost Demon.
Eren shook his head. The goblet could only be used once. That's all the durability it had. And that one time was reserved for the Main Character.
The goblet was only to make Ye Liang's trump card useless and nothing else.
'Get in position. And make sure you don't release any killing intent,' he told Yelen using his thoughts.
Yelen nodded. It was hard for someone the level of an ordinary Elder to even sense her presence. It might have been different if it was Feng Yu in front of her, but before Li Yunfeng, she was sure nothing could go wrong.
Yelen appeared behind Li Yunfeng while Eren also finished his preparation. An item appeared in his hand, being drawn from the inventory.
