On the fourth day of the Snow Lake Festival, after a rare night of snow stopping, the morning sun shone exceptionally clearly in the camp of the White Tiger Legion.

Diametrically opposed to the bright weather at this time was the cloudy look on Xiao Qianye's face - last night he chased the strange group of blood butterflies back non-stop, at that time there were already hundreds of flying over the camp, he immediately cast the sword shadow in the seven-turn sword style to freeze all of them in the air, originally thought that it should be one to kill them all without leaking, but when he was about to order someone to carefully check whether there were any fish that had slipped through the net, the bad news came from the military doctor's tent in the rear, and the three doctors were under the control of the insect control technique, With the lancet in his hand, he directly killed dozens of soldiers who were recuperating from their wounds!

Now there was a row of corpses in front of him, and the three delirious doctors had been staring at him intently with a weird laugh, and the moment they looked at each other, he felt that the insect control technique in the bodies of these three people was even more powerful, as if through their pupils or another cold gaze was watching his actions from afar.

A young warrior with a blank face arranged for the others to quickly clean up the scene, as if this was a common thing for a long time.

Xiao Qianye frowned, holding a dull breath in his chest that could not be relieved, he has been focusing on swordsmanship in Kunlun Mountain for so many years, and has not been involved in the field of spells too much, he never expected that he would encounter an opponent who is so proficient in magic in the first battle when he returned to his hometown, those dead spirits that swept out of thin air last night, the white bones that emerged from the snow, and the butterflies that silently sneaked into the barracks, could it be the forbidden art of the White Sect mentioned by the eldest brother?

He knew that his uncle Yun Qiushui had once held the position of the Great Commander, and he also knew that she had indeed accepted two informal disciples, but he didn't know what she had experienced during the time of the White Sect, and Yun Qiushui had kept silent about all the past since she returned to Kunlun Mountain, as if she had never been to this isolated island across the sea.

"Childe, how are the bodies of these warriors placed?" When he rubbed his forehead and was uneasy, the little soldier who had been helping to clean up finally interrupted his thoughts, Xiao Qianye subconsciously raised his head and swept over the corpses covered with white cloth, only to feel that something in his heart was torn painfully, and immediately avoided his gaze, and replied in a low voice, "The weather in Jialuo is harsh and the road is not smooth, let's find a place to bury nearby, find out their identities, and explain to their families when the time comes......"

"You can't just bury it." The little warrior looked at him and reminded the noble prince who came to the Great Snow Field for the first time, "The White Sect has a spell called 'Bone Spell', if they are buried directly, it won't be long before they will turn into ice corpses, and when they need it, they will be controlled by the people of the White Sect to attack the army, and when they are not needed, they will always wander like a walking corpse, if our warriors die near the White Sect, then they can only be burned to ashes." ”

Xiao Qianye looked at him, suddenly raised his hand to support the other people in the room, and said with a slight smile: "Since you know how to deal with it, why do you have to ask me again?" ”

"I just do things according to the rules, Gongzi is the commander appointed by the crown prince, General Luo has said hello, and everything in the army must be approved by Gongzi before he can act." The little soldier was not afraid of the other party's identity, and such a rigid and serious answer instantly attracted Xiao Qianye's interest, he habitually turned the white sword spirit in his hand, and seemed to have a new idea and took the initiative to ask, "He is a good man, and he has completely wiped himself out so quickly, what is your name and how long have you been in the army?" ”

The little soldier was a little surprised, and hesitated for a long time before standing up straight and replying: "My name is Yan Ming, I am a native of Jialuo, and I have been in the White Tiger Legion for three years. ”

"It's only been three years...... Xiao Qianye answered in a self-muttering voice, looking him up and down, "Seeing that you are only seventeen or eighteen years old, since you have joined the army and become a soldier, why do you always look lifeless?" This is not the momentum that a boy of your age should have, the soldiers of the military pavilion must go through the intensive training of the Eighth Hall of the Military Aircraft before they are officially recruited, and the instructor should tell you to be like an eagle hovering over the universe, vigorous, proud, free, with glory and dreams, loyal to the country and the people. ”

"Huh?" Yan Ming was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he actually showed a disdainful sneer, ignoring that the man in front of him was the second son of the Imperial Capital Tianzheng Mansion, and replied in a strange manner, "After the three military doctors were controlled by the enemy's spell and killed people, General Luo immediately found an excuse to run away with oil on the soles of his feet, for fear that if he took a slow step, he would be infected!" Childe still remembers the high-sounding words of the instructors at this time? Hehe, do you know that the current military pavilion is a virtual reality, everyone is eating and waiting to die, and no one wants to really work hard. ”

"Hmm." This time, Xiao Qianye just nodded very calmly, obviously he had already felt the ridicule in the other party's mouth, he knew that when his father was alive, he had to give up part of the military pavilion seat because of Gao Chengchuan's step-by-step pressing, but the current state was much more serious than he expected, although he had not been to other branches of the military pavilion in the four realms, but Luo Qi alone was already very surprising, how did that kind of person who was timid and afraid of things and not high in martial arts led the White Tiger Legion to fight against the White Sect? The few war reports that were sent to him were brave...... It should be fake, right?

Xiao Qianye thought for a moment and did not take the initiative to expose these doubts, and the topic turned back to the present: "I have read the combat reports against the White Sect in the past thirty years, except for the White Sect during the period of King Jialan, which had forced the military pavilion to retreat several times with absolute superiority, the rest of the time was basically bounded by Fulong Town, once the army crossed the boundary, it would encounter a sneak attack with all kinds of strange spells, which were dominated by all kinds of ferocious insectsHave you ever been involved in that battle? ”

Speaking of this, he clearly saw that the young man in front of him trembled uncontrollably for a moment, and then he took a deep breath and seemed to suppress the fear hidden in his heart, and bowed his head and replied: "Well, I did participate in that battle three years ago, I only enlisted in the army back then, and my mind was full of the glorious dreams preached by the instructors, I was not afraid of anything, I just wanted to do my part to serve the country and eradicate the cult, the person who led the team back then was General Luo, but he only made an excuse to go to the rear halfway, The soldiers who broke through braved the heavy snow and finally came to the end of the Dengxian Road, and the result was ...... In the blink of an eye, it was all gone. ”

"Gone?" Xiao Qianye was startled, and immediately remembered that when he was studying the map of the White Sect before, he had found that there was indeed a blank road from the Divine Farmland to the Ascending Immortal Dao.

Yan Ming clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth: "That place is very strange, the wind and snow are overwhelming in an instant, you can hear a wail that is even more terrifying than a monster, and countless white bones are emerging from the snow one by one, I ...... I was so frightened that I stood still, and when I reacted, the soldiers around me had disappeared, and there seemed to be an invisible wall in front of me, and I didn't dare to go over. ”

Yan Ming covered his face, despair and pain followed, a kind of shame that went deep into the bone marrow: "I am actually really not qualified to say anything about General Luo, I also retreated at that time, I picked up a life because of my weakness, and the other soldiers who rushed up with me died there, and it didn't take long for the order to retreat from the rear, I ran away without any hesitation and without looking back, hehe, what glory and what dream, at that moment I just wanted to survive, fortunately, in the next three years, the emperor did not order to attack the White Sect again, Like everyone else, I eat and wait for death, and I selfishly hope that I will never get into trouble with the White Sect again in this life. ”

Xiao Qianye pursed his lips, he didn't feel surprised, but there was a strong sense of loss - once upon a time, the military pavilion was his dream, and the shiny and capable silver-black military uniform was also the color he had longed for since he was a child.

I don't know how long he was silent, Xiao Qianye pushed open the door with a sword, his cheeks reflected the early morning sun, and a mottled halo floated on his cheeks, and suddenly turned his head to look at the young man who was still in a daze, and said with a smile: "I must capture the White Sect, only by taking the White Sect can I be qualified to take back the military pavilion and get back your lost glory and dreams-but don't worry, no matter when, I will definitely stand in front of you, and always stand at the forefront." ”

Yan Ming looked at him in a daze, the man waved his hand casually, and soon his back disappeared from his sight.

Walking all the way to the front camp, Luo Qi rubbed his hands and greeted him in a good voice and pretended to ask about the situation, Xiao Qianye turned the hilt of the sword as if he cared about something, and whispered: "I'll go out and go around, General Luo will send someone to check if there are any fish that have slipped through the net, not only the red butterflies, but also moths, ants, etc., all be careful." ”

Leaving the White Tiger camp, Xiao Qianye bypassed Fulong Town and walked all the way down the tributaries of the Glacier River, Jia Luo did not form a populous and economically prosperous metropolis like the other three realms because of the harsh climate and barren environmental impact, similar to Fulong Town, a small city with tens of thousands of people has been extremely rare, and the people living here are more clustered along the glacier river basin, these villages are like pearls dotted on the snowfield, connecting this ancient and mysterious land, perhaps because of such unique conditions, Gara is the only place where humans and aliens can barely live in harmony with each other.

Before coming to Jia Luo this time, he had carefully read the files of the military pavilion in the last thirty years, although the high-level of the imperial capital regarded the alien race as a plaything, but there were still very detailed records of their characteristics, customs and living places, the army's large-scale extermination of the alien race in the past hundred years was indeed very frequent, but if you studied carefully, you will find that these extermination tasks are aimed at some alien races with strong blood and a large number of people, and for those races that do not pose much threat, they are not wiped out, especially in places like Jialuo, The alien races are weak and scattered, and they live next to humans, and it is not only time-consuming, laborious, but also beneficial to exterminate them.

Then he discovered some of these very unhealthy anomalies, and every once in a while some villages would disappear without warning without the army sending troops, and the investigation afterwards found that it did not seem to be a natural disaster or a monster attack, because the buildings were intact, only people disappeared inexplicably, and what was even more strange was that this phenomenon had stopped abruptly since about twenty years ago, and there had been no similar situation again.

Out of curiosity, he directly called up the dossier for nearly fifty years, and finally found the common denominator - whenever the White Sect has a new sect leader or a great priest to take office, this situation will happen frequently, and then thinking of some forbidden techniques mentioned by the eldest brother and himself, he has to suspect that the White Sect, which is regarded as a belief by foreign people, should have done something invisible in secret, after all, the more powerful the spell, the higher the requirements for the cultivator himself, if it is a person who has the ability to sit in the position of the sect leader and the great priest, They will definitely try to do more advanced cultivation.

Twenty years ago, the White Sect had entered the era when King Garan was in power, and Uncle Yun Qiushui should have met and fallen in love soon after, he had no way of knowing what kind of person King Garan was, but he was convinced of Uncle Jia's conduct, if Uncle Shi sensed the hidden situation and stopped it, then it became reasonable for this abnormality to suddenly disappear from that time.

In terms of time, it is almost right, but these things are just his personal speculations and there is no actual evidence, after all, even the high-level officials of the imperial capital have very little actual understanding of the gods and cults on the big snowfield, and the guards of the White Tiger Legion in recent years are all Luo Qi, and the temperament of fishing in troubled waters naturally does not expect him to make a difference.

He also carefully read the map provided by the high-level of the imperial capital, Qianji Palace is surrounded by steep glaciers on three sides, and the only road suitable for the army's strong attack is the Dengxian Road in front of it, and the Dengxian Road is about seventy miles up from Fulong Town, the terrain is not particularly tortuous, the key is to depend on the weather conditions, but this kind of place close to the cult will be affected by the magic technique, maybe the wind and the sun are beautiful in the last second, and the next second can be attacked by a blizzard.

After the Dengxian Road and then go up will enter the main altar range, the cult in front of the Qianji Palace reclaimed a large area of farmland for planting various medicinal materials, this land is called "Divine Farmland", but from the Divine Farmland to the Dengxian Road there is a blank about a mile long, whether it is a large-scale attack or a small-scale raid, all the battle reports without exception terminated in this place.

"Blank mile ......" Xiao Qianye thought thoughtfully, although the other party is a cult with all kinds of strange spells, but according to the investigation in recent years, the most tricky ones are only two great commanders, rather than taking the army to risk attacking, or is it better for him to find an opportunity to go straight to Huanglong and try to break through?

Last night was the first time he had seen the horror of those forbidden arts, and it was clear that the opponent was right in front of him, and he couldn't see the true face of the enemy at all.

Frankly speaking, he was not sure that he would be able to win that man, if there were enemies as strong as him in the White Sect, this battle would be more dangerous than expected, and he could not let an ordinary warrior with no foundation in magic risk and lose his life in vain.

Between contemplation, Xiao Qianye had already come to Dengxian Road alone, although the Snow Lake Festival had already passed halfway, but the flow of people who came to hang the lanterns had not decreased, he observed left and right for a while, avoiding the crowd and walking to the other side, three of the ten legions domesticated in the military pavilion are mainly birds, and well-trained warriors can ride on the back of birds to patrol and fight, but Jia Luo is not equipped with birds because of the bad climate, so that every attack against the White Sect is extremely difficult, but Kunlun Mountain has swordsmanship, If it's just him, he can go around it and test the reality.

He seriously recalled the terrain trend of the White Sect in his mind, surrounded by glaciers on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, only the Ascending Immortal Road was barely suitable for human warriors to pass, but the eldest brother was still on the mountain after all, of course he couldn't use the sword technique to swagger through the gate of the city.

Xiao Qianye looked down at the sword spirit, and an idea suddenly popped up - rear! The White Sect is backed by the Weeping Snow Plateau, where there is a huge snow monument left by the heavenly realm, which is said to record the history of falling into the sky, even the birds passing by will be affected by the fierce divine power inside and choose to detour, when the eldest brother was taken away by Feng Ji also went there, he has heard the legend of the snow monument since he was a child, but his personality is not very interested, now that he has arrived nearby, it is better to take the opportunity to go over and investigate, if you can learn more about the weird "Divine Cult", it would be better to rescue the eldest brother.
