The moment the snow swept across his cheeks, he saw the long white sword burst out of the air, piercing his chest at an unexpected angle, pinning him to the mirror-like glacier behind him.

As the blood dripped on the ice, the blue frost rose from his heart and covered his skin from point to surface, and he looked hard at the person in front of him, the blurred face was illusory and distorted, as if separated by a layer of hazy mist, and the snowflakes that were swept up by the wind were reflecting the broken outline of the man one by one.

Finally, all the light converged one step away, condensing a face that was obviously familiar, but unfamiliar in an instant.

Before the next move, he was already imprisoned in the glacier, the sound was fading away, the light was slowly dimming, and time seemed to be completely ended by a powerful force at this moment, and everything came to an abrupt end.

Suddenly, a warm flame flickered, and the snowflakes in the apse turned into light feathers and landed on his shoulders, which finally made Cen Ge in the nightmare clear and opened his eyes.

However, the first second he woke up, he felt a real sharp pain erupt in his chest, and even his skin seemed to have been eroded by frost.

Cen Ge sat up in a cold sweat, and found that he had unconsciously fallen asleep on the lotus throne in the main hall of the Thousand Machines Palace.

Cen Ge's heart suddenly felt a strange uneasiness, and he subconsciously raised his hand and pressed his forehead hard, but the face in the dream became clear little by little after waking up - is it an illusion? After all, he was not a sect leader, and he couldn't make the Lotus Throne bloom with a bright light shaped like a flame.

The snow began to fall at some point, and the wind blew into the main hall of the Thousand Machines Palace, as if a group of butterflies suddenly covered the shoulders in an instant.

The moment his spirit turned back, he had already sensed that an uninvited guest had quietly intruded, and Cen Ge jumped up from the lotus throne, just by gently waving his sleeves, the gale wind transformed into countless lights and shadows from under his feet, like invisible small arrows shooting out in unison.

Sure enough, there was a familiar figure who jumped back to avoid it, and the wind arrows swept from top to bottom, pressing from left to right, but the figure of the person who came was lighter than that of a butterfly, but it was only a momentary displacement and flexible dodge, and it did not respond.

Such a familiar skill made Cen Ge take the initiative to slow down the offensive, and sure enough, he must have seen the half-squinted uninvited "guest" in front of him.

It was the man in his nightmare, and the other party had retreated to safety, the dim light of the fire reflecting a soft, smiling face.

Cen Ge couldn't help frowning, there was a feeling of staggering the virtual and the real for a moment, the contours of this face were soft, which was completely different from the sharp edge in Fang Cai's dream, and he didn't forget to raise his hand and say hello in a good voice at the moment when he was in a daze.

This self-familiar appearance made Cen Ge frown even more irritably, and scolded angrily: "Why are you again?" ”

Xiao Yibai waved his sleeves to close the door of the temple to prevent being noticed by the disciples, and smiled a little mischievously: "I already asked the Styx Butterfly to send you a message last month saying that she was coming, you won't forget it, right?" ”

"Oh." Cen Ge replied mechanically, only then did he think of the fluorescent butterfly that flapped its wings and flew directly through the blizzard to his eyes, he looked at this man with a hippie smile on his face, and every word he spit out was more indifferent than ice and snow, sneering, "I already told you not to come last month, you won't forget, right?" ”

"Don't do that, hehe." Xiao Yibai was not angry at all, he looked at the gorgeous sect leader throne in front of the main hall, and always felt that there was a slight disobedience.

"Tsk." Cen Ge let out a disgusted voice, Xiao Yibai didn't give him a chance to give an eviction order and immediately explained his intentions, "It was His Highness who asked me to come to you, Cen Ge, time is running out, if you insist on not cooperating with us, I guarantee that no one can save the White Sect this time, not only you and the disciples, but even the millions of aliens in the entire Feiyuan will face annihilation." ”

As if accustomed to such words, Cen Ge cleanly dispersed the wind arrow and sat on the other side, his eyes glanced at the lotus god seat and was quickly moved away by the sting of something invisible-Feiyuan, an ancient island that fell from the sky to the sea, the sky gave this land a charm of races, let them be reborn from the sea, forests, flowers, trees, birds and beasts, and the falling sky deprived them of wonderful abilities, time made the weak alien race become the slave of human beings, and became their meal, Shirts and playthings in the hands.

A thousand years have passed since that thrilling catastrophe, and this oppression has intensified like a sharp and cold wheel, and there is mourning everywhere it goes.

The White Sect, located on the Weeping Snow Plateau, one of the seven forbidden lands south of Feiyuan, has long been regarded as the last bulwark of the aliens, and has been worshiped by them as a cult of God, but such a force with unclear doctrine and deep support has long been a thorn in the side of the empire, and it is an existence that is eager to get rid of it as soon as possible.

In the past hundred years, the empire's encirclement and suppression of the White Sect has become more and more powerful, and last month he gathered a large army at the foot of the mountain and was ready to attack, and he observed the enemy's every move with secret techniques in the main altar every day, and his heart was also sinking into the abyss minute by minute.

Every time I think of these things, Cen Ge's forehead hurts for a while, the guy in white in front of him is called Xiao Yibai, who was originally a powerful person in the imperial capital, and he doesn't know which tendon is wrong to stay at home and enjoy happiness, counting this is the eighth time to personally visit the bitter mother-in-law, I have to pull him to join an organization called "Wind Demon", and what's even worse is that this organization is notorious, and it is the number one wanted criminal in the Feiyuan Continent, and almost all the major cases and tragedies that shocked one party in the past ten years were committed by them.

The struggle for power of human beings is already complicated and ruthless, and he doesn't want to interfere at all as an alien, but this guy is not only unrelenting in his martial arts but also ridiculously high, every time he quietly sneaks into the Thousand Machines Palace of the White Sect, he can only detect it when he stands in front of him!

"Don't be in a daze." Xiao Yibai muttered in a low voice, walked up to him and continued, "Cen Ge, you should have heard of it, my younger brother came back from Kunlun Mountain half a year ago. ”

"Your brother?" Cen Ge subconsciously raised his head and thought for a second, and suddenly remembered the strange dream just now, and seemed to notice something and muttered, "You are twin brothers, the kind that look exactly the same, right?" ”

"yes." Xiao Yibai looked at him strangely, and saw that the other party's face, which had always been calm, seemed to have a flash of gloom.

Cen Ge was silent, his eyes were deep and unfathomable - the man in the dream was not Xiao Yibai, but his twin brother, Xiao Qianye.

Xiao Yibai didn't know what the other party's ever-changing demeanor meant, and lowered his voice: "You are the great commander of the White Sect, you should know that the high-level officials of the imperial capital were planning to attack the White Sect decades ago, and they even secretly sent people to lurk in, not only stole the forbidden technique "Soul Splitting Dafa" in the sect, but also the terrain map of the main altar and the distribution of the disciples had already been obtained by them. My younger brother has just finished the adaptive training of the Eighth Hall of the Military Aircraft, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked him to lead the troops, his swordsmanship is very powerful, and few people in Feiyuan are his opponents. ”

"Your brother is coming to attack the White Sect?" Cen Ge snorted coldly, obviously not appreciating such a contradictory statement, "Then why did you, the eldest brother, come over at this time to report the news?" Shouldn't you help him complete the task so that he can get back the position of the head of the military pavilion? ”

The two looked at each other-for-tat, Cen Ge indifferently broke the hand on his shoulder, and his original shallow eyes became a bottomless dry well: "Xiao Yibai, I have rejected His Highness seven times, and this eighth time will not be an exception, you are the eldest prince of Tianzheng Mansion, he is the crown prince of the empire, I don't know that you have established it in private." What is the purpose of this kind of organization like the Wind Demon, but the White Sect is a god cult of aliens, and it doesn't want to have anything to do with the power struggle of your human race, go back, don't come to me again. ”

"You're really going to be killed!" Xiao Yibai raised his tone, there was undisguised worry between his eyebrows, and when he wanted to say something more, he saw the other party biting his lip fiercely, and replied unceremoniously with hatred, "So what?" Have you killed fewer aliens over the years? In the eyes of human beings, alien races are flowers, birds, fish and insects that have become essences, and they can be arrested at will and kept as pets in the backyard, or they can be wantonly hunted and killed to make delicious dishes and served on the table. ”

Pieces of snow blew in through the colorful glass windows, but the pupils of the two looked gray and gloomy in such a light.

Xiao Yibai was speechless for a while, and when he heard a contemptuous sneer coming into his ears, Cen Ge's eyes were bloodshot and he looked resentful: "If you really want to be so kind, why don't you let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince withdraw the White Tiger Legion in Fulong Town at the foot of Qianji Palace a little farther first?" While the soldiers are coming to the city, the cat is crying rats? ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't mobilize the White Tiger Legion." Xiao Yibai avoided something, but what awaited him was an even more disdainful sneer, and bluntly asked, "Can't be mobilized or don't want to be transferred?" It's been ten years since your brother left Feiyuan to practice in Kunlun Mountain, so he must be very unfamiliar with Feiyuan, if he personally leads the troops this time and fails the first mission, the Tianzheng Mansion that has been wiped out will make matters worse, right? I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arranged for him to come this time just to find an opportunity for him to make meritorious service and take over the military pavilion in a justifiable manner, he will definitely succeed, isn't he? ”

Xiao Yibai didn't refute, Cen Ge snorted coldly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was even more sarcastic: "The three armies of the empire were supposed to perform their own duties, but the former military pavilion master suddenly died a year ago, and now the military pavilion should be temporarily dispatched by Gao Chengchuan, the governor of the forbidden army, right?" Oh, by the way, isn't the former military pavilion master your father, I heard that the mansion was shrouded in the flames of Lord Feng Ji on the night of the annihilation, so the forbidden army guards could not support it, so this case was finally counted on her head, hehe, your brother was far away in Kunlun Mountain, not to mention it, how did you survive? ”

Mentioning this unsolved case, Xiao Yibai just lowered his head lightly and avoided the other party's gaze, Feiyuan is a wonderful country that falls from the sky and the sea, and is full of charms, and those other races that are obviously different from human beings are collectively called "alien races", Feng Ji is the head of the hundred spirits of the alien race, and it is rumored that it is a descendant of a divine bird that resembles a phoenix and burns with blazing flames all over her body. This opened up a new future for this land.

On the night of the destruction of the Tianzheng Mansion a year ago, Feng Ji, who was indeed thousands of miles away, broke into the heavily guarded imperial capital city, and surrounded the Tianzheng Mansion with a fire and stopped the patrolling forbidden guards.

Cen Ge observed every subtle change in the expression on his face, and some guesses changed from doubts to affirmations in his heart, and sneered: "Don't forget that when Feiyuan fell into the sky a thousand years ago, it was the head of the hundred spirits, Lord Feng Ji of the Spirit Phoenix Clan, who lifted the isolated island and fell into the sea safely with his own strength, and instead of half a point of gratitude, you humans intensified your cruelty to the alien race, please go back, see you next time, don't be merciful, I will not cooperate with you, even if you perish, the White Sect will not wag its tail to the imperial capital and beg for mercy and steal your life." ”

"Cen Ge!" Xiao Yibai stubbornly continued to take a step forward, but the light of blood charm flashed in the opponent's sleeve and directly pounced in front of his eyes, conjuring up a dead spirit with a hideous face, Xiao Yibai hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and continued without giving up, "You hurry up and dismiss the disciples in the main altar now, it's really too late!" ”

"Severance?" Cen Ge suddenly withdrew his hand, and his eyes gradually condensed, "If even the White Sect has to flee in the wilderness, the situation of the alien race in the future will only be more like walking on thin ice." ”

Xiao Yibai did not agree with the other party's statement, he shook his sleeves to repel the dead spirits that rushed towards him, and at the same time defended eloquently: "Qianji Palace is just a building, it is just a thing created by the accumulation of stones, bricks, flowers and plants, you take people away, and people will have a chance to resist when they are alive......"

Cen Ge's gaze became even more gloomy the moment he heard these words, obviously his emotions had been suppressed to the limit, and he gritted his teeth and reprimanded: "It's a cold building for you, but for us, the White Sect is a god cult of the alien race, and it is the last faith of the alien race. ”

As soon as the words fell, the necromancer dispersed like smoke and mist, and from the hazy mist, strange white bone hands stretched out, and made a sword grip out of thin air!

Xiao Yibai knew that this was one of the four forbidden spells of the White Sect, and he cautiously stepped back, not wanting to fight hard and cause a riot, so he had to dodge the attack lightly: "Cen Ge, to tell you the truth, Governor Gao has been cultivating henchmen for many years to try to win the military pavilion, and the year after my father's death has especially intensified, fortunately, my brother is back, and his superb swordsmanship has won the favor of His Royal Highness the Prince, you are right, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just wants to take the opportunity of attacking the White Sect to make him meritorious service and take back the military pavilion, and I came here to help him." ”

"Then you still come to report to me, what kind of heart do you have?" Cen Ge is slow and sarcastic.

Xiao Yibai still smiled gently, and didn't care about all kinds of cynicism: "I already told you when I first came that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always wanted you to join the Wind Demon, and if you want to change Feiyuan's deep-rooted class rule and racial discrimination, you must unite all forces to work together, but the prince has no military power in his hands, even if he is deeply favored by His Majesty, he has no right to speak without military power, and there is no way to confront the Governor Gao head-on, so we are bound to win the military pavilion, not only to take the position of the cabinet master, Even the internal generals must be strictly renewed. ”

"Do you want me to take the initiative to retreat and leave an empty shell for your brother to take in one fell swoop? Are you really good for me, or are you afraid that I will hurt him? Cen Ge unceremoniously opened his words, and Xiao Yibai also nodded unreservedly admitted, "Cen Ge, the White Tiger Legion has been stationed in Fulong Town, and soon the White Wolf's people will come to support, even if the White Sect has a lot of terrifying secret techniques that make ordinary people fearful, but if you have to fight in a short battle, it must be you who are defeated in the end, people only have a chance to change when they are alive, and there is nothing left when people die." ”

This time, Cen Ge suddenly fell silent, as if he remembered the strange dream just now, and his heart was anxiously weighing all the possible endings.

Xiao Yibai saw that he finally had a slight change, so he hurried up and whispered: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Governor Gao are not in harmony, this time His Royal Highness arranged for my younger brother to come over, and Governor Gao naturally wants to make a hindrance from it, so the gathering of the White Tiger Legion will be extremely slow in this month, and now only the third detachment has returned to Fulong Town under the mountain, and these days it is the Snow Lake Festival of your White Sect, many ordinary people have come to light three lamps to pray for blessings, and the army will avoid this time so as not to hurt the innocent, if nothing else, When the Snow Lake Festival is over, the war will begin, and you must evacuate before the Snow Lake Festival ends. ”

Cen Ge raised his eyelids and glanced at the person who was still smiling, for some reason he was angry, and with a wave of his sleeves, a strange wind directly rolled up Xiao Yibai and threw it out, he snorted in annoyance, and scolded in disgust: "Qianji Palace is not your backyard, don't dangle in front of me." ”

Xiao Yibai blinked, tilted his head and looked at him carefully, giggling to adjust the atmosphere: "Don't be in a hurry to drive me away, after knowing each other for so long, everyone is a friend, and you can still talk." ”

"You're so annoying!" Cen Ge couldn't help but scold, "Who are friends with you?" I don't dare to climb the eldest prince of the Heavenly Expedition Mansion. ”

Xiao Yibai struck while the iron was hot and said: "Why do you see it so much, the Baijiao General Altar is located on the Weeping Snow Plateau, and it is cold and snowy all year round, but I climbed seventy miles of mountain roads overnight and came up to you from Fulong Town in the dark, pour me a cup of warm tea to warm up, hehe." ”

"Get out." Cen Ge rolled his eyes angrily, and a necromancer grabbed Xiao Yibai's collar and directly lifted him into the air, and then made a clean gesture of discarding.

The necromantic machinery shook, and he really threw the person he was carrying from the Thousand Machines Palace to the foot of the mountain, Xiao Yibai's voice became farther and farther away, and he kept repeating those few words.

Cen Ge pressed his forehead with a headache, and once again remembered the strange dream just now, and his whole body was even more tired and weak - it was not once or twice that the White Sect was surrounded and suppressed by the army, especially since the traitors in the sect appeared a few decades ago to find out the terrain map, it would attack once every few years, and now the White Tiger Legion was gathering in large numbers in Fulong Town under the Thousand Machine Palace Mountain, and when Xiao Yibai came to the door for the eighth time, he already felt that this time the situation was more dangerous than any previous time, which made his heart that had always been firm also faintly hesitate.

The wind and snow gradually decreased, the ground of Qianji Palace was white, the dazzling white light made his spirit slightly trance, and suddenly heard a silver bell-like laughter from far and near into his ears, as soon as he raised his eyes, a little girl in a gorgeous palace dress happily threw herself into his arms, and held a delicate sky lantern in her hand, and said in a milky voice: "Lord Si Ming, this is the sky lantern that Sister Aqing made for me, tomorrow is the Snow Lake Festival, let's go to the glacier to put the lantern together, okay?" ”

Cen Ge breathed a sigh of relief and touched the girl's head and smiled, and sure enough, he saw his sister, another great priest of the White Sect, also walking over with a smile, Cen Qing seemed to glance at the outside of the hall inadvertently, and said with feeling: "He's here again?" Or is it for that thing? ”

"Hmm." Cen Ge nodded uneasily, but his eyes stared at the sky lantern in the little girl's hand, the wick was still extinguished at the moment, but it seemed that a faint fire ignited his heart, making him suddenly blurt out a whisper, "Tomorrow...... Tomorrow we'll go and put up the sky lanterns. ”

Without waiting for Cen Qing to answer, the little girl was already happily jumping three feet high, Cen Qing was a little surprised by his brother's reaction, recently the White Tiger Legion was assembled in Fulong Town under the mountain, and the people in the sect had long been panicked.

The two tacitly raised their eyes and exchanged glances, but after all, they just smiled at each other and didn't say anything more.
