Chapter 101: Ice Domain
In the early winter of November, the air in Canglan City was already so cold that it was biting cold, I am afraid that it was a few points colder than the coldest season in Nanmingzhou, so that many small cultivators in the city who only had Qi Condensation and Qi Refining Realm were shivering from the cold, and they couldn't wait to stay in the house to bake the stove all winter, and never go out to blow the cold wind again.
However, entering the academy is like entering an independent world with four seasons like spring, and under the warmth of the invisible enchantment, you can see the academy disciples everywhere wearing only a thin robe, chasing and fighting on the streets, not noticing the coldness of the outside world at all.
Like, they didn't notice the turbulent undercurrent beneath the calm exterior of Huayu.
Half a month has passed since the last raid on Tianzhong Pavilion by the Dark Vortex Palace, and Canglan City seems to have returned to its former calm, under the joint suppression of the Huayu Domain Lord, the Seven Star Palace, and the Academy, there is no trace of the Dark Vortex Palace in Canglan City, and other forces that are deeply involved in the Dark Vortex Palace have also been purged by them. In this process, the position of the three major forces is undoubtedly more solid, more awe-inspiring, and the forgetful people have long ignored the young disciples who died tragically in the bloody cases, and only relish the disappearance of the Dark Vortex Palace.
However, how many people can know the inside truth behind the matter?
"On October 16, the Liu family in Honglian Prefecture raided the Huan family, the Huan family was destroyed, all the descendants were killed, all the materials and property were confiscated, and the affiliated families of the Huan family quickly surrendered to the Liu family except for a few people. ”
"On October 18, the Xu family in Xunwu Prefecture expanded, annexed three second-rate families in a row, controlled a large number of spiritual resources, and began to eyeing the old enemy Heng family. ”
"On October 22, the Wuhua Prefecture Umbrella Lian Sect rose strongly and became a blockbuster, and now a total of more than ten sects, large and small, have been destroyed, and they have become first-class sects. ”
“...... On November 3, the Southern Union Association was established in the southern part of Huayu, and so far nearly 100 sects from the eight southern states have joined it, most of which are non-influential sects that are not connected to the Xuan cultivators. This association is headed by the kamikaze sect of Nanming Prefecture, and the deputy suzerain leader Qin Feng affirmed that he only seeks self-protection in troubled times, and does not interfere with the river water of other states. ”
The lord of the Huayu domain leaned back on the recliner, as if he had fallen asleep with his eyes closed, and after a few seconds, he suddenly said, "Gone?"
"It's gone. "The reporter was a featureless man, with a straight face and a blank face.
"Heh, in just over half a month, so many earth-shaking changes have taken place, I'm afraid that in another half a year and a year, I won't be able to understand this Huayu. The domain lord of Huayu said inexplicably.
"HASCO has always been the HASCO of adults. The man said sternly.
"Really?" the Huayu Domain Lord smiled mockingly, not mocking others or mocking himself: "I'm afraid that only Huayun Prefecture is my Huayun Prefecture, this entire Huayu ...... I don't have the heart to care, and I can't take care of it, usually they will be a little afraid of my face, and don't dare to toss too presumptuously, but the chaos is beginning to appear, and some people are like cats that smell fishy, and they can no longer hold their paws. In their eyes, I can only be regarded as a large prince at best, not the monarch of Huayu. ”
The man was silent and could not answer.
"This is also normal, in comparison, although my domain lord is not as beautiful as the domain lord of the feudal domain, but it is better than the Ming domain lord next door, he has always been caught in the battle between the two major families in the north and south, no one gives him face, and I have finally not fallen to the point of being a puppet. The Huayu Domain Lord said lightly.
The man remained silent.
"My three sons, the eldest is too cautious, he would rather miss the opportunity than dare to take risks, the second is the complete opposite, always likes to gamble, even at the cost of his life, the third is too slippery, he only likes to take advantage of small advantages, but he has no overall view, it's really a headache......" The lord of Huayu gently rubbed his eyebrows and sighed softly:" Life is only more than 100 years, even the illusion of the god cultivator can not span 300 years of spring and autumn, I have competed for most of the mortal life, my heart is already old, the next two hundred years will not seek to fight for power and profit, if you can keep this great business, it will be good. As long as no one comes to me, Huayu will be chaotic, let it go messy, and I don't bother to pay attention to it. ”
"Is that really what the domain master thinks?" the man suddenly said.
The Huayu Domain Lord looked at him meaningfully, and only smiled slightly.
"The subordinates know. The man saluted and took his leave.
The next moment, Shu Jinye jumped in and pushed the door in, and threw herself into her father's arms with a smile, which was sweet and coquettish.
The domain lord of Huayu rubbed her little head helplessly and dotingly, and sighed: "You kid, if I don't agree to you, you won't be angry with me until this hour next year?"
"So my father is the best!" Shu Jinye affectionately wrapped her arms around her father's neck and said coquettishly in a voice that was so sweet that she could get tired of death.
The domain master of Huayu has long been used to it, patted Shu Jinye and asked her to let go and stand up, before continuing: "I said ugly things ahead, you can go to the Ice Domain, but you must listen to Yu Liang's words, and at the same time, I will send a few more people to secretly protect you, even if you don't like this feeling of being watched, you are not allowed to play with me." ”
Shu Jinye had a bitter face and wanted to bargain: "Oh, what are so many people doing with me, so what do I have to do when I go out to practice?"
The Lord of the Huayu Domain did not let go at all: "Fortunately, you are going to the Ice Domain to practice, if you go to other parts of the Huayu, I will definitely not allow you to go out." During this time, Huayu is in a lot of chaos, if someone deliberately targets me, you are the first target, so I am willing to let you go to the ice region to avoid the limelight, and when you come back in February next year, it must be a different situation here. ”
Even if Shu Jinye lacked heart, he felt the subtlety of the situation in a daze, and couldn't help but say with some concern: "Dad, then you'll be fine, right?"
The Huayu Domain Lord smiled and said, "Silly boy, who dares to provoke me? ”
Perhaps every father's image in the eyes of his children is the highest, but Yi Shu Jinye did not doubt the authenticity of this sentence at all, but nodded and said, "Father is the most powerful!"
Then the Huayu Domain Lord said abruptly without any foreshadowing: "You are going to the Ice Domain this time, you actually want to stay with that ink wind for a while, right?"
Shu Jinye was stunned for a moment, and then jumped to his feet in annoyance and said: "Oh, what do you think, Dad! Do I know him very well? I can't wait for you to arrest him for me and let me beat him up, who wants to stay with him!"
"Really?"
"Of course!"
"Really?"
Shu Jinye was so embarrassed that his neck turned red, and he crossed his waist and stared hard: "Dad, what do you want to say!"
The domain lord of Huayu only smiled and said, "Forget it, I won't get involved in the affairs of you young people, no matter what, as long as you don't regret it." ”
However, the little princess, who was still ignorant at this time, couldn't hear the emotion and deep meaning in her father's words, she was just immersed in inexplicable panic and shame, like a child who had been exposed, snorted angrily, turned her head and ran away.
Behind him, looking at the back of the immature girl running away, the domain lord of Huayu just sighed leisurely, his face covered with a haze that his subordinates and daughter could not see.
On the bleak winter night, the cold demon wind whistled unscrupulously on the wilderness, only in a small place it seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, and it swirled smoothly, failing to cross the slightest bit.
Inside the barrier, there was a warm campfire crackling and dancing, but under the cover of the barrier, there was nothing unusual outside, and no one would even know that there was a large tent temporarily stationed here.
Everyone in the academy gathered around the campfire, quietly listening to the elder talk about some necessary basic common sense, lest he go to the ice and his eyes would be blackened, and finally the boat capsized in the gutter and ended up with some very aggrieved deaths.
Take a closer look, there must be at least a thousand disciples who go to the Snow Twilight Journey, which is impossible in previous years, because this event was originally prepared for the soul master's special training, but this year, because there were some problems in the Snow Twilight Secret Realm, so I had to temporarily choose the Ice Domain. But in this way, the elders of the book thought about it for a while, and they also felt that there was no need to restrict any system issues, and only controlled the number of people a little.
In fact, the nature of this snowy twilight trip has already changed quietly, due to the death of the exchange competition halfway, the disciples of the Quartet always feel aggrieved in their hearts, although the overall situation of the first few has been decided, but after all, it is not an accurate result, so this time the people of the three major sects will also send the inner sect and the disciples of the personal transmission to the ice domain to practice, which can be regarded as free competition in a relaxed environment.
Of course, anyone who knows a little bit about the inside story, or has a more sensitive sense of smell, can guess that this must be related to the chaotic situation in Huayu, and sending these disciples far away is not a kind of protection in disguise. Especially in the academy, there are many children of big families, and many patriarchs are happy to send their juniors out of Huayu to stay away from the turmoil, after all, the journey of the academy is confidential, and even if the enemy family has the heart to do it, they can't find anyone in the huge ice domain.
The people sitting around Mo Feng are all the disciples of this academy, the two brothers of the Ying family, Yan Shayue, Bai Muhan, Xu Mingyuan, Xu Che and even Liu Xiyue are all there, Zhou Sheng is of course the closest to him, with his current strength at the peak of Qi cultivation, he can be regarded as a very powerful figure in the golden session, only Xu Mingyuan and a few other cultivators can suppress him.
In fact, if it weren't for the limited number of places, the number of participants on this twilight tour would have doubled, after all, although the ice field is not far away, there are still very few people who have actually visited it, because this has always been an extremely mysterious area, and the world is only the tip of the iceberg.
"Why is it only the tip of the iceberg? Then I'm going to ask you another question, why is the ice domain in the Nine Domains Dabi not in the sequence?"
The elder looked around, and helplessly found that this group of little rabbit cubs were fighting actively, answering the question to catch a shrunken turtle one by one, those who knew the answer should pretend to be reserved, those who didn't know didn't dare to say, and those who weren't sure were afraid that it would be embarrassing if they said it wrong, so they only had a dodgy look in front of him, and they were all afraid of being caught by the elders.
Finally, the elder caught someone who dared to look at him, and he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and said slowly with the most kind smile: "Mo Feng, you say." ”
Someone who was innocently lying on the gun had no choice but to speak: "Because the ice region is not suitable for human habitation, there are only less than 100,000 people living on the edge of the surrounding area, and most of them are wanderers and adventurers, so they can't form a stable social structure, and they can't organize many people to participate in the Nine Domains Competition, so they simply gave up their qualifications." ”
The elder had a relieved expression of "I know you must know", and simply continued to lazily say, "Then you go on, why does the ice domain seem so mysterious?"
"First of all, it has to do with the unique geography of the ice region. It presents a ring belt structure, which can be roughly divided into three rings, the thicker the ice layer in the crust and the lower the temperature, according to the research of the "Seventeen Regions Geography and Ice Domain", the temperature in the edge zone is still about minus 10 to 20 degrees, and in the middle ice zone, the temperature can reach as low as minus 100 degrees, as for the core area...... It speculated that it should break through minus 200 degrees, but it was difficult to find out how exactly, because the core area was said to be a death if the Phantom God powerhouse entered. ”
In the voice of the academy disciple gasping for air, Mo Feng continued very calmly: "Secondly, it has something to do with the previous point, speculation about the core area of the ice domain has always made many cultivators rush to it, because the coldest place in the ice domain is not the northernmost part, but in the inner ring area, which is a very strange thing in itself, and it is not in the range of the North and South Polar Circles...... Oh, and when I didn't say anything, a lot of people think there must be a big secret in the inner ring. The Ice Geography put forward three major conjectures, one is a transcendent spirit weapon with ice attributes, the second is that the inner ring is the retreat of a powerful cultivator who has transcended the Illusory God Realm, and the third is some extremely special geographical structure, plus some unknown coincidences. ”
"In addition, there are many mysterious and strange phenomena in the ice field, which I can't finish for a while, but it is worth noting that "Continental Species Studies" It is said that more than 2,000 years ago, someone had a glimpse of a snow-white humanoid race from the inner ring to hunt and easily kill a powerful spirit beast in the Illusory God Realm, but because of this, the person's words are exaggerated, and his own cultivation is in the Avatar Realm, so the credibility of his words remains to be verified. ”
"Ah Feng, how do you know so much?" Zhou Sheng was the first to be stunned.
"I read some related jade slip introductions. Mo Feng said casually. In fact, he has read not just some, but tens of millions of words, but he has never fought unprepared battles, so even if it is 100 million words, he will read it seriously, so as not to get a completely unfamiliar place to go, and he doesn't know how to die, although the elders will say some precautions, but after all, it is not as good as the insurance he researched by himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a flower in front of him, Senior Brother Fang directly rushed over and grabbed his sleeve, looking moved with tears streaming down his face: "God-like teammates, it's all up to you, oh no, I've decided, you can be the captain directly! Senior Brother's net worth and life are tied to you, if you let me go east, I will go east, and all actions are under your command!"
