In addition to Elder Xiao Xiang in the Elder Pavilion on the summit and Elder Jing Chu, who is good friends with him, there are two more elders, and the two new elders are personally recruited by the castle owner, and it is said that they have been sent to perform tasks many times and have been perfectly completed by the castle owner.

In the eyes of the disciples of Snow Castle, these two new elders are like the stars rising on the edge of the moon, and it seems that it will not take half a year to surpass the two "old" elders and become the existence of one person under one person and above everyone in Snow Castle.

In fact, the two new elders have more and more power to speak in the Snow Castle, plus the other two "old" elders have been deliberately reluctant to retreat, hiding on this elder's peak all day long, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them still have the duty of passing on the merits, all the disciples would almost forget about the two of them.

At this time, in the Elder Pavilion at the top of the peak, Elder Xiao Xiang and Elder Jing Chu were sitting opposite each other, and there was a delicate stove in the middle, exuding a trace of heat.

Jing Chu yawned, he didn't understand why Elder Xiao Xiang sent someone to wake him up so early and summon him here, but he didn't say a word for such a long time, so he asked, "Elder Xiao, what are the instructions for calling the juniors?"

Elder Xiao Xiang, who had been outside the wandering objects, sighed heavily, a trace of sadness flashed on his well-maintained appearance, and he looked at Jing Chu fixedly and said: "Elder Jing, don't pretend to be confused anymore, you have been reducing the number of appearances in the castle since a year ago, it is not a big thing at all, even if there are disciples who need to teach the exercises, they can hide, why is this?"

Jing Chu, who was caught by someone because he was lazy, panicked, his face couldn't help but turn a little red, rubbed his hands and stammered: "This... Belch... It's because..."Well, let him admit that he doesn't learn and can't learn, and it's not easy to be lazy to get home, otherwise it's better to be scolded honestly."

Jing Chu obviously planned to break the jar, lowered his head and sighed heavily as he looked like Elder Xiao Xiang, and then said nothing.

Elder Xiao Xiang couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that Jing Chu couldn't say why he came for a long time, and put on this posture again, and then said with sympathy: "I really wronged Elder Jing like this!"

Then he said: "Elder Jing, you have seen that there are many dangers in the castle early on, and even the castle lord can hardly trust me, but you can only ruin your reputation and bear the reputation of incompetence for the sake of Xue Ying Castle's internal strife, which makes me admire me very much!"

As he spoke, he stood up, put his hands on his waist and saluted Jing Chu.

Jing Chu also stood up in a panic at this ceremony, and said with an ignorant face: "This... Elder Xiao, you... Alas, why bother!" slapped his thigh fiercely, and secretly said that this Elder Xiao Xiang didn't seem to be trying to teach himself to be lazy, that's good, that's good...

I didn't know what Jing Chu was thinking, but Xiao Xiang asked Jing Chu to sit down after patting his thigh, and said: "I have long felt that the castle lord has changed his temperament since Yi'er was kidnapped by demons, as if he was a different person. It's just that later the castle lord actually recruited two elders with foreign surnames, and they often secretly did some secret things, which finally made me suspicious!"

So I secretly investigated, and finally found some clues. Elder Jing, do you know what I've discovered?"

Jing Chu, who was confused by Xiao Xiang's words, subconsciously asked, "Hair... What did you find?"

Xiao Xiang leaned forward, almost against Jing Chu's head, and said, "They are not people. I don't know what secret method is to hide their breath very well, but it still reveals a flaw, and I learned from my subordinates that when they cleaned up the cave, they found some unknown broken bones, and showed them to me for identification. ”

"The broken bones are human bones!"

Jing Chu's eyes were wide open like copper bells, and the turbulent waves in his heart were constantly surging, and he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, just stared at Xiao Xiang blankly.

Sitting back slowly, Xiao Xiang looked at Jing Chu who looked like this and frowned slightly: "Why should Elder Jing behave like this again, I know the biggest embarrassment of this Snow Castle, but Elder Jing doesn't have to hide it from me anymore!"

"I can't figure out why the castle lord who had fought with the demons on the Divine Peak recruited two human demons, maybe he was kept in the dark, or perhaps..."

Xiao Xiang couldn't go on, or didn't dare to say it.

"Alas, there are many disasters, two years ago, the castle lord's daughter was kidnapped by demons, and then the castle lord's temperament changed greatly, and now Xue Ying Castle has been invaded by demons again, no matter how you think about it, you think..."Jing Chu scratched his head, even if he was stupid, he knew that there was something related to this.

Xiao Xiang's eyes lit up, and sure enough, it was this junior who was the first to notice the abnormality, but why didn't he tell her directly? Yes, how to convince people without evidence, the key is that the two human demons are very well hidden, and it is extremely difficult to distinguish the inappropriate from the appearance and breath, and it will be difficult to believe it if she doesn't find it herself.

But even the elders have become human demons, what about ordinary disciples, or the castle master?

Snow Castle is in danger!

"Now I don't know who can still be trusted in Xueyingbao, please ask Elder Jing to help me remove the demonic barrier!"

Xiao Xiang stood up, clenched his fists, and slammed it to the end.

Jing Chu panicked and asked him to help? What can he help? But if he doesn't help, he really can't save face, so he has to say: "Elder Xiao is serious, it is incumbent on the younger generations of Xueying Castle! Just where to start?" You must know that he has almost not cared about the affairs in the castle recently, and Elder Xiao is also busy cultivating, so the prestige of the two of them in the castle is not as good as before, how can they expose those two human demons?

Since Xiao Xiang has brought Jing Chu here, he is naturally confident: "If I can only endure secretly in normal times, but now is a good time." I heard that there were three ancestors and grandchildren in the castle yesterday, among which the grandfather is a prefecture-level master, and his grandson is also a prefecture-level master, if we can get his help, we can forcibly expose the two human demons, and then grasp the general situation, even the castle owner has to compromise and thoroughly investigate everyone in the castle!"

"Two prefecture-level masters?" Jing Chu weighed the disparity between himself and the enemy, and hesitated: "It would naturally be good if there were two prefecture-level masters to help each other, but what if those two prefecture-level masters didn't go all the way with us?"

"Hehe, if it were another prefecture-level master, he might really hesitate, but that one definitely wouldn't. Even the lord of the castle was heartbroken for him and set up a private banquet to entertain him. Can Elder Jing guess who it is?" Xiao Xiang sold a pass, she was overjoyed when she learned the news, and said in her heart that this was a godsend.

The corners of Jing Chu's mouth twitched, he slept in the cave all day, he didn't pay attention to the affairs of the castle at all, and he dismissed his subordinates because he was afraid that others would know that he was lazy, so he had no way of knowing what interesting things happened in the castle.

So how could he guess which prefecture-level master it was?

"It can't be a figure on the master list, right?" Jing Chu said with a casual laugh.

Xiao Xiang's eyes narrowed slightly, sure enough, Elder Jing Chu was not an ordinary person, he had his own intelligence sources in the castle, but even he was jealous, which showed how tricky the problem of this Xueying Castle was.

But with the help of Him, all problems will be solved.

"Elder Jing guessed well, it is the eighth in the list of masters of the five states, the Heavenly Sword. Xiao Xiang smiled with his eyebrows, just like a spring breeze relieving the snow and cold.

The two then went down the mountain, but they went their separate ways.

Let's talk about Elder Xiao Xiang first, she didn't just think that Xueying Castle was rotten to the root just because of the two human demons, she had too many clues, such as Qi Meng, the eldest apprentice among the disciples of the castle master, who claimed to be in retreat, but in fact, Qi Meng's whereabouts must have been unexpected by anyone.

In fact, each power sect will have its own prison for those who do evil or violate the rules of the sect, and Snow Castle is no exception.

The Ice Prison is located under a boulder fort to the west of the castle, the stone fort is simple and dilapidated, with a bluestone gate leading to the underground cell, and the word ice prison above the gate has existed for hundreds of years.

Unlike the prison cells in Qingzhou cities, which are guarded by the government army to assist the city garrison, the cells in Xueyingbao are only guarded by the disciples in the fort, and as for the government army, they are generally only stationed in the east of Xueyingbao to prevent changes in Xueyingbao.

Elder Xiao Xiang walked in along the gate, but the more she walked, the more strange it became, the last time she came here was to trace the source of the broken bones in the Human Demon Cave Mansion, and she had a whim. But at that time, there were many disciples on duty here, but at the moment there was no one.

What happened?

Walking into the depths of the dungeon, her pupils shrank suddenly, only to see a few guard disciples lying in the corner of the aisle, probing her snort with her hand and finding that her breathing was normal, she looked at her pupils, and her heart was relieved, these disciples just fainted.

The further he went, every other moment a disciple fell to the ground, and his appearance was exactly the same as that of the previous ones.

Who is so bold? Xiao Xiang's brows furrowed deeply, and at the same time, he was vigilant, careful not to be plotted.

Fortunately, there were far fewer real prisoners in this dungeon than the disciples who made mistakes, and those disciples were stunned when they saw that it was Elder Xiao Xiangxiao, and then hurriedly saluted.

"Can you see who did it?" Xiao Xiang asked, pointing to the guard disciples lying on the ground.

The disciples in the cell looked at each other, but they didn't know whether to speak or not.

Isn't there a secret in that?

But this did not bother her: "If anyone tells me what is going on, I can let you out as soon as possible!"

As soon as the words fell, the disciple of the organic spirit said: "Elder Xiao, you can see it if you continue to walk, it is not an outsider, but we dare not say it clearly!"

After taking a deep look at this disciple, Xiao Xiang said, "Okay, I remember you." When I go out, I will go to the precept officer and explain the matter. ”

The disciple was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him, but the other disciples and some prisoners were envious and screamed.

But these have nothing to do with Xiao Xiang, she flicked her sleeves and went to the depths of the dungeon, she wanted to see who it would be if she wasn't an outsider.

It was only gradually that she reacted, and judging from the direction indicated by the disciple just now, it seemed to be consistent with the purpose of her coming here.

Xiao Xiang's heart moved slightly, so that he could guess who caused this disaster.

At the end of the underground cell of the ice prison, it is usually used to hold disciples who are heinous or have committed great mistakes, but at this time, the door of the cell is wide open, and there are three young figures gathered together in the cell, two of whom are Zhou Jiang and He Kang.

The other was a woman, with a haggard face and a shawl, but in the cold dungeon, dressed only in light clothes.

Yes, this woman is the eldest disciple of the castle master, Qi Meng!
