The old man rolled down a few tears, waved his hand to roll up the ice badger corpse, gathered its scattered internal organs, filled the hollow in its chest and abdomen, and then gently pushed, and the ice badger corpse floated towards the folded ice.

A beam of dark orange light hit the ice, and the flying broken ice swirled and gathered, surrounding the ice badger corpse, and instantly condensed into a dark blue ice coffin.

The ice coffin contained the dead ice badger, and under the push of another beam of orange light, it slowly floated into the depths of the valley road.

After doing all this in an orderly manner, the old man was silent for a moment, and then he looked at Huo Xu.

Over the years, the cave dwells in the cold valley, as if the unsullied ice bloom has been condensed from the ancient glacier, and the ice bloom has removed the dregs of the years, so that the eyes that have been through the vicissitudes of life are not cloudy and do not show their old state.

His gaze is not close to "clear", but it can be regarded as transparent.

Those eyes contained endless hatred and a little sorrow, and when he wanted to show kindness, the smile came to the corners of his eyes with difficulty, and all the sorrow disappeared, but the hatred was still immense.

There was hatred in his heart, so he smiled unnaturally: "Don't be unconvinced if you say that your six relatives don't recognize you!" I ask you, what should you call me when it comes to age? ”

Childish question!

Huo Xu shrugged his shoulders and reluctantly replied, "Grandpa." ”

"Ah Huan is equivalent to my adopted son, boy, whether to call him uncle or uncle, you have to touch your conscience and decide for yourself."

I'll go, how can there be such a stiff!

Huo Xu got up and opened his mouth, but he was speechless, and couldn't help but scold: "Probably only people who live in the world under the ice all year round can have such a strange bone!" ”

The old man stretched his eyebrows, and his smile bloomed perfectly at this time, but it was only for a moment, and after a while, he returned to his old self.

Huo Xu was relieved, and felt that talking about the issue of six relatives and seven relatives at this time was definitely a pleasure for a hidden powerhouse, but for Huo Xu, it was simply boring!

He had already judged that this old man should be the peak Yuan Zai who spoke out near the Peerless Araoka that day, and used his energy to train and blast away dozens of five sect powerhouses in one fell swoop.

Not only that, but he also thought of the day of the make-up exam, Liu Rusi sent him back to the Shui Manor, standing in front of the villa building, Dean Liu asked Shui Zhimei if there was a senior Yuan Zai in the manor.

It is impossible for a one-star Yuan Zai to capture the Yuan pressure and aura of a high-level Yuan Zai, unless she is extremely familiar with that aura!

Earlier, at the make-up test site, I learned Shangguan Qingyun's surname from Huo Xu's mouth, and Liu Rusi's reaction was a little abnormal at that time······

There's a lot of information here.

Regarding the identity of the old man, from the list of hidden powerhouses he had heard, Huo Xu locked a candidate, but due to the lack of in-depth understanding of Liu Rusi and Shangguan Qingyun, he could not sit down hastily.

He calmed down and looked at the old man silently.

The orange robe was very neat, as if it were new, and it had not been worn for long; His beard, hair, face, and hands were clean, and there was not a trace of dirt to be seen.

"An old caveman should be sloppy, right?" Huo Xu was highly suspicious that someone was secretly providing him with support.

"Old Man's ······" Huo Xu licked his lips and spoke, but was interrupted by the old man waving his hand.

"Don't tell me you've seen me, Hugh Ti Araoka thing! Boy, from the day you practiced the thunder technique in the Shui Clan's Manor, I knew about your existence, including the day when the powerhouses of the Five Sects threatened the Shui Clan, you hid far away in the forest, hiding from others but not from me.

I have practiced two exercises in this life—the Ice Technique and the Thunder Technique, and I am very sensitive to the Thunder Energy Elements in others.

Boy, don't talk useless, I'm not deaf, I know a little bit about the Five Clans Alliance, I know that your name is Huo Xu, and I even know that you are the most powerful legendary boy in the empire right now, I know everything!

Now the key question is, do you know who I am? ”

The vigorous sound fell, echoing between the folded ice, and the aftermath lasted for a long time.

The thick texture of the voice made Huo Xu's mind wander, and he suddenly felt as if his soul had fallen into the deep, bottomless and isolated ice realm.

stripped of the outsourcing of sound quality, Huo Xu found that the old man's words were not interesting, and he couldn't get rid of the suspicion of nagging.

"I'm not sure." He guessed that this old man Xu was because he lived in seclusion all the year round, and he could only chat with the ice badger for a few words, and he was extremely lacking in social opportunities, so he had a very strong desire to express himself.

With a hint of deep meaning in his eyes, Huo Xu continued, "However, I know that there are two people in Lofe City, and they must be very important to you. ”

"Oh." The old man's eyes were slightly condensed, obviously not believing Huo Xu's words.

"I know Shangguan Qingyun." Looking at the old man quietly, Huo Xu said softly.

The old man calmly raised his head slightly, his gaze slowed down, and the deep hatred in his eyes was swept away.

"Yun'er is a good boy, although he has no cultivation talent, but he has a pure heart, if it is convenient for you in the future, it is best to treat him as a friend."

"I've long regarded Brother Shangguan as a friend." Huo Xu blurted out: "I only have a one-sided relationship with him, but I hit it off at first sight." ”

"Brother Shangguan?" The old man frowned and said: "Call people this way, otherwise, it is easy to bring misunderstanding." ”

"So, your old surname is Shangguan?" Huo Xu asked.

"You kid······ What a deep scheming! I like it, though. The old man shook his head and said slowly: "You must have heard that more than 60 years ago, there were two peak lords who were only twenty years old and famous all over the world, and they were called the second sons of Heaven by the world, and I was one of the two sons of Heaven - Shangguan Wei. ”

"The juniors have already guessed the identity of their seniors, but they don't dare to recognize each other rashly." Huo Xu said with a smile: "I heard that the former young sect master of Shangguan Sect behaved elegantly and had a soft spot for elegant residences, but after getting old, he was used to cave life and liked to be with earth beasts.

Alas, the so-called vicissitudes of life, the world is impermanent! ”

"You don't think I'm a burrowing gopher, do you?" The old man was a little unhappy, pursed his lips, and waved his hand.

The orange light flows, like a projection, reflecting a mysterious world, where the white buildings are hidden among the green trees, surrounded by green water, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

"Sure enough, there is no cave in the Evil Cold Valley!" Looking at the green water of the white building in the streamer, Huo Xu sighed.

He finally understood that after exposing his whereabouts in front of the two sisters of the Shui Clan, the three elders of the Xuanji Pavilion and the powerhouses of the Five Sects, this old man still refused to abandon the Evil Cold Valley, and the reason was that there was an elegant residence that he couldn't give up here.

When the old man withdrew his hand, and the shadow of the building disappeared with the streamer, Huo Xu stroked his chin with his hand, and said with deep meaning: "You have probably forgotten an old man, she is the first counselor of the Royal Martial Arts Mansion and the dean of the Yuan Academy, her real name is Liu ······ Such as ······ Silk. ”

The word "silk" spit out from Huo Xu's mouth, and two fine lights swept out of the old man's eyes, and the next moment, the fine light froze with the old man's figure, as if it was suddenly frozen by the cold emitted by the ice core of the ages.

Beneath the almost frozen exterior, shame, remorse and decades of dusty love are intertwined, accompanied by endless pain, flooding in the bottom of his heart, tearing each other apart, almost wanting to devour his soul clean.

······

More than sixty years ago, the Gubei Mountains, the black miasma forest.

Shangguan Wei has just turned twenty years old, with a jade face and lacquered eyes, and his expression is handsome, and he usually only needs to smile faintly, and his elegant demeanor can hook away the souls of countless girls.

But at this moment, he couldn't laugh.

The black miasma was surging all around, and an inexplicable feeling of suffocation came unexpectedly.

Under the boundless dead silence, wisps of black mist were separated from the miasma mass by some mysterious force, wriggling like insects, like moths flying.

With his instincts alone, he could tell that a high-ranking beast was entrenched not far in front of him.

It is the last beast of the Gubei Mountains!

Over the past decades, groups of young cultivators have come here one after another to explore, dreaming of discovering its traces, but without exception, they have all returned.

When Shangguan Wei first entered the Black Miasma Forest, he bumped into great luck, but he was not happy, and the nerves in his whole body were all tense.

As the top cultivator in the age group of twenty years old, a rare peak Yuan Jue at a young age in the world, in terms of cultivation achievements, Shangguan is the only one who rides the dust, and there is only one person in the entire empire who can match him.

With an amazing personal talent and a powerful and well-known family, he could completely choose the normal cultivation path to move forward steadily, and he couldn't afford to take risks here.

However, man does not take young people lightly, and for him, the charm of that legend is irresistible!

It is rumored in the cultivation world that there is no need to wait for the appearance of somatosensory characteristics, and there is no need to retreat, as long as any strong person dares to fight the last beast in the Gubei Mountain Range, he can quickly complete a big breakthrough in the fierce battle.

If you can kill it, you can also capture a lot of treasures, including many magical skills.

Shangguan Wei was looking forward to it inexplicably, but what he needed most at this moment seemed to be a helper, because he alone was definitely not the opponent of the beast!

He faintly sensed that there were bits of earth-based energy elements floating in the air, and then his divine sense captured the breath and pressure of a stranger.

Not far away, there was a seven-star lord lurking.

Next, the two souls had a strange merger effect, and his soul sea was completely opened involuntarily.

The deeply awakened Yuan Shen told him that the Seven Star Yuan Jue seemed to carry the other half of his life!

Flawless was amazed by the soul merger phenomenon he encountered for the first time in his life, and in a violent tremor, Shangguan Wei's gaze touched the terrifyingly huge body of the beast.

"D-class beast!" Shangguan Wei gasped.

It was a giant man, stepping out of the black mist, stepping into a deep pit in the rock with each step, and swallowing half of the black miasma around it with a single breath; Exhale a breath, and the remaining miasma disappears in an instant.

Giant Kui's attempts to transform into a human were unsuccessful, and his appearance was nondescript, resembling a half-human, half-beast hybrid.

Its body covered a large forest, its huge head hung high in the air, and a pair of huge eyes full of anger looked down with contempt, majestically declaring his sovereignty and dominance.

Shangguan Wei flew into the air and left the surface that shook non-stop.

"Stupid human beings, I only know that I can get a bargain from me, but I don't know, I can also get a breakthrough opportunity from you, once the battle starts, there is only three breaths of time left for you, after three breaths, I will be promoted to a level as I wish, and then you will inevitably end up with a tragic end of annihilation! Hahaha·······"

Jukui laughed, and the laughter shook the boundless falling wood.

Not far away, the wind was roaring, and the invisible man flew up to the forest table, driven by a highly compatible soul, and waved his hand at the same time as Shangguan Wei.

The man swung out one beam, and Shangguan Wei swung two beams.

The three blue energy beams quickly fused and turned into a single beam, which swept towards the giant kui.

The two joined forces, and their core strength was far inferior to that of Jukui.

What is incredible is that the devouring of earth energy, the ban of ice energy, and the destruction of thunder energy, the different forces of the three energy elements are completely fused together, and they actually form a crushing force on the Jukui at the level of exercises!

"Element coupling? No way! This ······"

Before he finished speaking, Jukui's body shattered inch by inch under the shroud of blue light, dissipating without a trace like a black mist

Its portable spirit space shattered, and countless collections rained down.

Two rays of blue energy swung out at the same time, sweeping towards the two pieces of jade that were hanging in the air.

Shangguan Wei only then discovered that the person who had joined forces with him before, and was competing with him for divine skills at this moment, was actually a beautiful and refined woman.

She flew lightly in the air, her posture was like a frightening wave, graceful like a swimming dragon, and a pair of starry eyes seemed to condense the morning dew all over the ground, which was extremely clear.

His soul melted in an instant.

······

The old man woke up from the delusion, and although his heart was like a needle, he tried his best to remain calm, and he only wanted to keep the beautiful picture, and he did not want to touch the tragic sequel of the true story.

"Wow!"

The orange light flashed, and a thick and warm energy rolled up Huo Xu's body and flew towards the valley mouth, and the old man's vigorous voice came from below:

"I wanted to make a small talk with you, but now it seems that I don't need to! You are a gifted and thoughtful teenager, and your future cultivation achievements will surely be far from the past to the present.

I was accidentally devoured by the thunder energy, the gas stove was made by the mutant thunder rope, and I couldn't break through the promotion level for decades, and my body was full of dryness, and I could no longer do without the ice of the Evil Cold Valley in this life.

Huo Xu boy, what you have seen and heard in the Evil Cold Valley, you can understand it yourself, don't say it in front of outsiders.

If there is a fate in the future, you and I meet again, maybe there will be surprises waiting for you, it depends on how you have created! ”

"Unfortunately, you were eaten by lightning energy? No wonder he wouldn't stay away even if he exposed his whereabouts! Huo Xu thought secretly.

Flying out of the valley, without the help of others, Huo Xu landed firmly beside Gray Rose.

Glancing at Huo Xu, Grey Rose pouted in a heartfelt state and said: "A hidden powerhouse, with amazing strength, obviously no malice, but a bit perverted, I don't know what his intentions are to trap you." ”

Half-asleep and half-awake, Huo Xu looked at Gray Rose leisurely and said with a smile: "It's a weird old man, his strength is unfathomable, probably he wants to find out the secret of my cultivation, but, with the life of an ice badger, he can't detect any secrets, hehe, this person has lost his partner, and he can only be lonely for the rest of his life." ”

"Who's the weird old man?" Grey Rose frowned.

Hearing this, Huo Xu's mind turned: It seems that Counselor Rose doesn't know about the existence of Shangguan Wei, so let Shangguan Qingyun go to the Royal Martial Arts Mansion as a clerk, and plan to transfer him to the Prime Minister's Mansion on an errand, whose idea is this serial operation?

"I also want to know who he is." Huo Xu said perfunctorily.

Gray Rose had little interest in the hidden powerhouse below, waved her hand and rolled up the fire, and flew straight to the snow forest.

"The Yuan Power is almost exhausted, you are like a waste at the moment, go back to cultivation quickly!

Oh, there is news from the palace, His Majesty the Emperor is out of the customs, you must get up early tomorrow, say hello to Shui Zhizhi first, and then follow me into the palace and wait for His Majesty the Emperor to summon you.
