It was night, and I couldn't see my fingers, and darkness shrouded the space.

Murong Yunfan and his entourage of five gathered again, but unfortunately, the guards outside the window were too strict. Every move failed to escape the eyes of those snow demons. After thinking about it for a while, Lan Jiu and his party finally reluctantly gave up their original actions, after all, in other people's realms, it was not appropriate to do too much.

With the passage of time, several people gradually fell into deep cultivation, and constantly filled themselves with the elemental aura of this bitter cold land in the extreme north.

But just after midnight, I saw that there was still a slight movement in Lan Jiu's room.

He was originally immersed in cultivation, but suddenly opened his eyes, and there was an aura of greed in his eyes. The body slowly stood up, and the movement was not big, because he didn't want to wake up Murong Yunfan and the others. At the same time, the dark element shrouded his body, and the rich black was the best protective color under the night sky.

With a flicker of figure, Lan Jiu had already left his room, and during this time, he really didn't alarm any of the guarding snow demons.

However, Lan Jiu's movements were not really perfect, and there were still two people who noticed the abnormality. One of them was Murong Yunfan, who lived next to Lan Jiu, but he saw that Murong Yunfan had already sat up straight and looked out the window, but he didn't find anything.

"Hehe, it should be that you are too sensitive, right? In the hinterland of this snow demon, the power of darkness should be very common, after all, the snow demon is also a demon clan!" Murong Yunfan muttered.

When the words fell, he didn't pay too much attention to it, and then, he folded his hands, sat down cross-legged again, and continued to cultivate.

The other one who noticed the abnormality was Xue Hanqing, but she only heard her murmur in a low voice, "What is the situation, a dark force has emerged in the Xue Ning Palace? How is this possible... The Nine-Tailed Demon Emperor has already helped all of our snow demons remove the dark root bones back then, and it is impossible to extend the power of darkness anymore... Could it be that there are those humans who are good at the power of darkness, or is it that the woman of the Shadow Demon King has installed a fine work in our Snow Ning Palace?"

As the words fell, Xue Hanqing's figure flickered, disappeared into the secret room, and probed into the distance.

At this time, Lan Jiu didn't know that his actions had already revealed clues. But even if he knew, he wouldn't stop, after all, the mysterious throbbing in his heart really couldn't be counteracted.

Footsteps moved forward slightly, Lan Jiu's figure was fast Lan Jiu's gaze looked into the distance, there, it seemed to be just an impassable wall, but for some reason, Lan Jiu actually felt that the power that shouted for himself was behind this wall.

My heart was slightly shocked, and I also realized that probably this wall was just a trick, and there must be something else behind it.

Thinking of this, with a palm of his hand, he slowly covered the wall, and under the eyes of his heart, ordinary mechanisms could not be hidden at all. In the blink of an eye, Lan Jiu smiled lightly, "Hehe, it is worthy of the Snow Demon King, and the mechanisms arranged are so ingenious, if it weren't for the eyes of the heart, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find out for a while, right?"

After speaking, he no longer hesitated, his palm was slightly raised, and he pressed directly towards the lattice brick.

"Stop, bold fanatic, what do you want to do!" At this moment, a crisp female voice came. Lan Jiu secretly said in her heart that it was not good, she knew very well that this voice was Xue Lian's, it seemed that her whereabouts were still revealed after all?

He turned his face slightly, and collided head-on with Snow Lotus's eyes.

"Hehe, it's really you, human!" Xue Lian glared angrily, the Ice Ridge Sword in her hand pointed directly at Lan Jiu, and scolded, "The palace master said that there was an abnormality in the palace, so I guessed that it might be when the tiger left the mountain... I really didn't expect that I would guard your rabbit after just keeping a stick of incense here!"

Lan Jiu was stunned for a moment, a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in his heart, and he asked in a low voice, "So, you were the first to discover me?"

"That's right!" Xue Lian didn't shy away from it, and said directly, "I expected that things were not so simple during the day, and sure enough, you tried to do it as soon as it was night." Hmph, I'm going to expose the hypocrisy of your human beings to the palace master!"

When the words fell, on the palm of Snow Lotus, a Snow Lotus really appeared, which was the way Xue Hanqing gave her to ask for help.

But I saw her jade hand slightly raised, as if she was throwing the snow lotus into the air, but at this time, a figure was faster than her, and it was Lan Jiu, who was already ready to go. With a wave of her palm, a gray light shrouded the snow lotus, and for a moment, her brain roared, and the whole person was a little confused.

"It's... What's going on?What have you done to me?" her body was uncontrollable, and a sense of fear naturally surged in Xue Lian's heart, and she murmured anxiously, but her voice was extremely small, as if she had never heard it.

Lan Jiu chuckled in a low voice, "Hehe, it's okay, you're the only one who found out... Then just shut up forever, and no one will find out about tonight!"

Letting Snow Lotus's body go uncontrolled is naturally not a long-term solution, but only caused by the impact of soul power. But Lan Jiu knew very well in his heart that his soul power was not mature, and he couldn't last for a long time at all. In addition, Xuelian's strength is not weak, and once it recovers, I am afraid that it will immediately attract the encirclement and suppression of Xue Hanqing.

Thinking of this, Lan Jiu also realized that he wanted to make a quick decision, and he no longer hesitated at the moment. The palm of his hand was slightly raised, and a black light shrouded Xue Lian's body, but he only heard the low chant in his mouth, "Dark Melody, Death Withered!"

Like a voice from hell, a burst of black light engulfed the snow lotus, and she could clearly see that the Grim Reaper was walking towards him with a scythe.

"Ahh You stop, stop..."

It's just that Xue Lian's voice suddenly stopped, the black brilliance dissipated, and her whole person also fell, and the breath of life dissipated in an instant. Looking at the derived snow lotus, it has long since withered, just like her life, completely dissipated.

The corners of Lan Jiu's mouth showed a cruel smile, and then with a wave of his palm, he was ready to press towards the mechanism.

At this moment, a voice like a hollow valley orchid broke through the air, and asked anxiously, "Lian'er, where are you... What happened to you... Lian'er !!"

Lan Jiu was shocked, this voice was also very familiar to him, it was Xue Hanqing. If Xue Hanqing finds out what Lan Jiu is doing now, I am afraid that in a moment, Lan Jiu will be in a different place. Don't say that people have bad intentions towards human beings, no matter how much you respect them, it would be strange if they could let you go if they killed someone like you for no reason.

Thinking of this, Lan Jiu was also helpless at the moment, his feet were wrong, and he disappeared into the darkness, and his figure gradually disappeared.

As for the secret room, it can't be broken into tonight. Xue Hanqing must be able to easily find out that Xue Lian is dead, presumably tonight, the Snow Demon Clan will definitely not be able to calm down, and if they sneak into that secret room now, they are afraid that they will really have to walk in and lie down.

His pace quickened, and in a few moments, Lan Jiu finally rushed back to his room. Go on, meditating with your knees crossed, as if nothing had just happened.

A moment later, there was already a lot of people in the Xue Ning Palace, and Lan Jiu also walked out of the room amid Murong Yunfan's shout. Lan Jiu asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with Master Hou? Is there the whereabouts of Wang Jian? Why did you wake us up in the middle of the night?"

Lan Jiu's words were naturally pretending to be confused, but there was no flaw in what he said.

Murong Yunfan shook his head helplessly, and said in a low voice, "I don't know the specific situation very well, it's just that I suddenly received a summons from the Snow Demon Clan, it seems that something happened, let's go over and take a look first!"

Lan Jiusi also nodded, noncommittal, after all, there was such a big movement outside, and no one would believe it if nothing happened.

Snow Ning Palace, above the main hall, a group of snow demons have long been separated on both sides. Their faces were extremely ugly, and some of the snow demons even had tears on their cheeks.

Murong Yunfan led the four of them all the way, but they didn't encounter any obstacles, but the eyes of the snow demons were extremely hateful. When Lan Jiu and the others walked to the front, they looked at Xue Hanqing with four eyes, Xue Hanqing had not yet spoken, but a snow demon behind him took the lead in shouting, "You... It's you... It must be you humans who killed Sister Lian'er!"

Murong Yunfan was stunned for a moment, and asked in shock, "Snow Lotus... Dead ???"

"Hmph, don't pretend to be there! We have been in the Snow Immortal Mountain for so many years. It was only after a few of you humans appeared here that Lian'er died, saying that it wasn't your doing, do you think anyone would believe it?" the snow demon scolded in a low voice.

"Mei'er, don't be rude!" Xue Hanqing scolded in a low voice, then turned her eyes to Murong Yunfan and the others, and asked in a low voice, "You really don't know anything about the matter in the middle of the night?"

Murong Yunfan smiled helplessly, and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry for Snow Lotus's death, but it's definitely not for a few of us, so how can we admit it?" Besides, you have a lot of snow demons guarding outside our room, if someone really does it, it is impossible for you not to notice it!"

Murong Yunfan's words were also very reasonable, and Xue Hanqing could only sigh helplessly. He whispered, "It was about a quarter of an hour ago, and I suddenly felt the dissipation of the snow lotus aura, and when I rushed back here, it had already become like this!"

As he spoke, Xue Hanqing's palm was raised, and the white cloth in front of him was revealed, revealing the face of the snow lotus in it.

But I saw that Xuelian was lying there quietly, and the whole person had no breath of life. There were no wounds all over her body, but she was entangled in a trace of black aura, which was clearly the main culprit of her death.

"The power of darkness!" Murong Yunfan exclaimed in surprise, unconsciously moving his gaze to Lan Jiu.

Xue Hanqing saw that Murong Yunfan really knew, and asked anxiously, "Yes, the cause of death is precisely these dark powers, I don't know if Hou Ye has eyebrows, or, do you know who is good at this dark power?"
