Qingluan tore the Demon Suppression Seal off the Ice Sword, and its eight white feathers withered into ash. Deprived forever of the Immortal Path, Qingluan picked up the barely breathing White Snake and flew towards the mountains beyond.
Unable to escape Bai Tuo Mountain due to the loss of its feathers, Qingluan faced the Demon Sealing Sword Formation's Barrier, which was three thousand layers deep within the mountain.
For three days, Qingluan carried the White Snake, spiraling high in the snowy skies of Bai Tuo Mountain until a layer of thick snow that wouldn't shake off covered its wings.
It flew lower and lower, finally landing in the snowy earth, leaving a long, vivid trail of red.
Its belly feathers were bloodstained and wilted, wounded inside out by the mountain's Sword Formation. After an agonizing three days, it finally plummeted.
Lying in the snow, Qingluan began to pluck its own feathers, flapping its wings to spread the plucked feathers over its body.
