Chapter 186: The World's Most Dangerous Peak
Tang Jue and Concubine Xia walked to the door of the building, and Tang Jue stopped with some vigilance.
He feared that the killer hadn't left yet, waiting for him to show up, and that if he went out rashly, he might cause panic again.
Concubine Xia also understood what Tang Jue was thinking, and said softly, "Killers of this level will definitely leave if they don't succeed, they all spare their lives." ”
Tang Jue turned his head to look at Concubine Xia, he trusted her very much, nodded and said, "Okay." ”
After speaking, he walked out first.
Sure enough, as Concubine Xia said, there was no attack. Suddenly, a siren sounded, and several police cars were speeding towards the corner.
"Let's go." Concubine Xia frowned slightly, and said, "If they see it, they will go to the police station to make a record." ”
Tang Jue nodded, and quickly disappeared into the block with Concubine Xia.

Two hours later, Tang Jue and Concubine Xia got on the plane.
This is not the first time Tang Jue has taken a plane, but it is the first time he has been with Concubine Xia.
I don't know why, Tang Jue always has a strange feeling when he is with Concubine Xia.
He had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Concubine Xia, and this feeling had since he first met Concubine Xia on Bashan, so much so that he could only pretend to be angry when he knew that the mastermind behind Qing Dielin's attack on him was Concubine Xia.
But he also has a sense of distance from Concubine Xia, and this sense of distance makes even if Concubine Xia is beside him, it seems to be separated by a Tianshan Mountain.
Perhaps, it's because she can't be seen through, because she has too many secrets on her?
A woman of the same age as herself, but she can have such profound martial arts, and she is the leader of the Heavenly Temple Divine Sect. Thinking of the extremely cold Lord Heavenly Palace, she has experienced no less than her own.
Sometimes, he really wanted to enter her world, but in the face of her haughty, he knew what that meant.
Concubine Xia looked sideways at the window, and Tang Jue looked at her side face.
Suddenly, Concubine Xia turned her head and met Tang Jue's eyes.
"Looking at me?" Concubine Xia asked.
Tang Jue was stunned for a moment, scratching his head with embarrassment, he didn't like to lie, so he could only acquiesce without speaking.
"Do you know why I like you?" Concubine Xia asked again.
This question made Tang Jue feel very hasty, and looked at Concubine Xia in surprise, this woman never played cards according to common sense.
Tang Jue, who obviously didn't think of an answer, shook his head and subconsciously asked, "Why?" ”
After saying that, Tang Jue wanted to seriously injure himself, how stupid his head was to ask this kind of question.
"Because you're clean." Concubine Xia didn't care, and said softly, "You are the first man to reassure me." ”
Tang Jue was slightly stunned when he heard this, obviously not understanding what Concubine Xia meant.
Concubine Xia didn't continue, and Tang Absolutely Concubine Xia's answer could only stay literal.
The plane was going to fly for three hours, and the atmosphere became awkward after a long time, Tang Jue thought about it and took the initiative to say, "Can you tell me about stealing the Heavenly Palace?" ”
Tang Jue knew that the plane was flying to a place called "Shigatse", but he didn't even know which province this place belonged to.
Concubine Xia turned her head to look at Tang Jue, leaned back in her chair gently, and said, "The Stealing Heaven Palace has a long history, originating from the Western Regions, but because of the dangerous terrain, the disciples in the palace have never entered the Central Plains, resulting in no fame, and it was not until modern times that the transportation was convenient and gradually appeared in the inner rivers and lakes." The current palace master Yu Ying, known as Yu Beauty, has good martial arts, and is a leader in the inner rivers and lakes, and she is not far behind compared with other Central Plains sects, you have seen her at the Hero Conference. ”
Tang Jueyan recalled that the woman at the Heroes Conference had a difficult fight with Zhang Yuanshan, the head of Wudang, and her martial arts were indeed very high.
That woman's martial arts have a kind of coldness, and as long as she uses her martial arts, the temperature around her will be much lower.
"Where is the Heaven Stealing Palace?" Tang Jue asked the question he wanted to ask, and said embarrassedly, "I don't know where we're going yet." ”
"Lhotse Peak." Xia Fei said softly, "The southwest side of XC, the fourth peak in the world. ”
Tang Jue was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously, "Can you live in such a high place?" ”
Seeing that Tang Jue seemed very interested, Concubine Xia continued, "The Heaven Stealing Palace is not at the top, but on the mountainside of Lhotse Peak. Lhotse is known to be the most dangerous mountain in the world, and almost no one has visited it except for the people who stole the Heavenly Palace. ”
"The most dangerous?" Tang couldn't help but be a little suspicious, although he didn't know Lhotse, he also knew that the highest mountain was Mount Everest, how could Lhotse be in danger of Mount Everest?
Looking at Tang Jue's somewhat puzzled expression, Concubine Xia knew what he was thinking, and said, "I know what you're thinking, but the degree of danger has nothing to do with the height of the peak. The danger of Mount Everest is less than one-tenth that of Lhotse. ”
"What do you mean?" Tang Jue was stunned and asked curiously.
"So far, more than 300 people have been able to reach the summit of Mount Everest, especially with the advanced climbing tools, it has become very easy to reach the summit. But do you know how many people reached the summit of Lhotse? Concubine Xia asked.
"I don't know." Tang Jue asked seriously, "How much?" ”
"Not a single one." Concubine Xia said softly, "All the people who want to climb Lhotse Peak are dead. ”
Tang Jue took a deep breath, looked at Concubine Xia in disbelief, and asked, "So difficult?" ”
"Hmm." Concubine Xia nodded and said, "The climate of Lhotse Peak is unpredictable, and the temperature can reach minus 60 degrees. The most terrifying thing is that there are one or two avalanches every day, and countless climbers are buried under the snow. ”
"......" Tang Jue was a little speechless in shock, but after thinking about it, he asked, "How did the person who stole the Heavenly Palace live under the avalanche?" ”
"You'll know when you get there." Concubine Xia seemed to feel that she had said a little too much, leaning back in her chair and closing her eyes.
Seeing this, Tang Jue was also interested in no longer speaking, and could only sit on the back of the chair and imagine by himself.
Two and a half hours later, the plane landed at Shigatse airport, which is just a small county town, but there are many people who come here by plane.
There are many people with large luggage inside and outside the airport, and there are also many foreigners, most of whom are in good health, and it is obvious that they are here to climb the mountain.
"Didn't you say that no one has ever climbed Lhotse?" Tang Jue said to Concubine Xia as he walked.
"They're not going to Lhotse, they're going to Everest." Concubine Xia looked up at Tang Jue and said, "Bring good food and the road to steal the Heavenly Palace is not easier than the road to the Tianshan Mountain." ”

Three days later.
The weather was surprisingly clear, with no clouds in the sky. Tang Jue stood at the foot of Lhotse Peak and could see the whole picture of Lhotse Peak.
Lhotse, which is more than 8,500 meters above sea level, is like a solemn deity that does not allow anyone to challenge.
"Let's go." Concubine Xia stood beside Tang Jue, and the cold weather made her speak with white mist.
Tang Jue nodded, and the two of them quickly went up towards Lhotse Peak.
The two of them are outstanding people in the world, and they are naturally different from ordinary mountaineers. The snow here is waist-high, making it difficult for all climbers to walk. But for these two people, they have climbed to a height of 3,000 meters in just three minutes.
Where they were stepped, the footprints were so light that they were hard to detect.
"It's almost there." In the process of speeding forward, Concubine Xia suddenly spoke, "In one minute, the Heaven Stealing Palace will appear in front of us." ”
Tang Jue nodded, his gaze looking upward.
Half a minute later, Tang Jue suddenly saw a point of light flickering in front of him, which looked a little dazzling in the sunlight.
How could there be such a dazzling light?
Tang Jue frowned at the light, it was obvious that this point of light must be related to the Heavenly Stealing Palace.
"That's the entrance to the Heavenly Stealing Palace." Xia Fei said.
Tang Jueyan nodded when he heard this, ready to go all out to get through the last stretch of the journey. But at this moment, all of a sudden, he found a strong vibration under his feet.
The snow began to shake violently, and the entire Lhotse Peak trembled with a deafening roar, like the anger of a god after being desecrated.
Tang Jue was stunned and looked up at the top of the mountain.
I saw a huge amount of snow coming from the top of the mountain, covering the sky, as if it was going to destroy everything in the world.
The snow was like a beast with teeth and claws, engulfing it all.
Avalanche.
This was the first time Tang Jue had seen an avalanche.
In his previous life, he had only heard others mention this phenomenon, and people had always been in awe of the power of nature, and Tang would never dare to be careless.
The avalanche was extremely fast, and it was getting bigger and bigger, and in the blink of an eye, it flooded that point of light and came not far above Tang Jue's head.
Such a close-up view, such a massive avalanche, is far more terrifying than any tsunami.
Turning his head, Tang Jue found that Concubine Xia's delicate face was full of solemnity.
At the critical moment, Tang Jue did not hesitate to use the breeze, stepped into the air, and grabbed Concubine Xia's hand and pulled her up.
The avalanche is tens of meters high, and Tang Jue is in the air, and he must reach a height higher than the avalanche before it arrives.
However, when the avalanche was less than 100 meters away from him, he found that the avalanche was much higher than it looked.
If you rise at this rate, you won't be able to exceed the range when the avalanche arrives, and you will be slapped down by the avalanche.
Tang Jue frowned, he knew his strength very well, so in an instant, the Heavenly Gong was extremely fast, and he wanted to use the Aoki knife technique when the avalanche came, and the avalanche would be punched out of a gap!
But just when Yu Tiangong was just transported, the speed of Concubine Xia, who was held by him, suddenly increased, and in an instant, it surpassed Tang Jue's speed!
The situation took a sharp turn, and it turned into Concubine Xia grabbing Tang Jue's hand and rising rapidly, and just when the avalanche came, the two of them just exceeded the scope of the avalanche.
Looking down, Tang Jue watched the snow rushing past the soles of his feet, and his heart was full of shock.
Looking at the huge snow and the width of hundreds of meters, Tang Jue was a little afraid in his heart.
If there was no Xia Fei, even if he used the Aoki knife method to cut it just now, it would be impossible to cut through hundreds of meters of snow.
As a result, he must have been struck by snow, and it is unknown whether he lived or died.
Tang Jue and Concubine Xia seemed to be still in the air, watching the heavy snow rumbling past their feet, Tang Jue couldn't help but say, "Thank you." ”
Concubine Xia glanced at Tang Jue and did not speak.
Avalanches come and go fast. In just a dozen seconds, the snow had reached the bottom of the mountain.
The bright spot appeared again, and in the air, Tang Jue had already reached the same height as it.
What greeted you was a door made of ice crystals.
