Chapter Forty-Seven: The Situation of Troubled Times
Qiu Die took the crown from Bing Xuan's hands with both hands, carefully wiped it with her sleeves, and then slowly raised her hands and put it on the top of Bing Xuan's head. Bing Xuan's body couldn't help but tremble, this came from the crown of the Ancestral Emperor, and it was not only power and majesty, but also the unknown danger and unfinished mission. Bing Xuan let out a sigh of relief, collected his thoughts, and solemnly accepted this simple gift of conferring the crown.
At this moment, Bing Xuan felt a breath of blood inheritance from the crown, and his soul couldn't help but resonate with it. Although there is an opportunity to comprehend the light point of the soul, this situation is not the time for meditation at all. The originally two-meter-sized safe space had expanded to about ten meters, and Bing Xuan knew that this was the power of the crown. He carefully untied the necklace and gently put it on for Qiu Die.
As the crown broke away from the statue of the Ice Emperor, the ice sculptures in the main hall gradually collapsed. Bing Xuan felt carefully, only to find that the frozen qi that was constantly being released had disappeared, but it was the crystal nucleus in the crown that was relying on the small magic circle on the crown, constantly absorbing the ice element from the outside world to replenish itself. It seems that this ice city is a redundant and powerful magic circle, and the eye of the formation is in this hall, and the core power of the formation is provided by the crown. Now, with the destruction of this magic circle, the perennial frozen ice city will slowly appear in front of the world, showing its original majesty.
The two of them left the main hall and walked through the side door to the back of the hall, which should be the residence of the core members of the Ice Clan and the royal family. The two of them shuttled between each courtyard, the frozen corpses were gradually melting and disappearing, and the original thick fog was slowly fading, as if the sunlight would penetrate at any time.
Every garden and pavilion will make the two stop for a long time, or sigh, or miss, or sad, this originally belonged to their own home, but no one has the slightest memory. Fate uprooted them from their homeland, and the country was ruined. Seeing these many tragic scenes, feeling the prosperity of the past and the dilapidation of today, Bing Xuan seems to have seen through the sorrow of life and death in the world. Now he just wants to build a place of peace, away from the strife and troubles of the world, so that his people can live their lives in peace.
The two of them didn't stop any longer, and now that the matter here is over, the two have nothing to be nostalgic about. Fei Yu, who was hovering in the sky, found signs that the fog of the ice city had faded, and Tian Ke had already guessed that it was Bing Xuan who had unlocked the seal of the ice city, and everyone came to the West City Gate early to wait.
As soon as Bing Xuan stepped out of the range of the frozen qi, he included the crown representing imperial power on his head into his ring. In today's world, keeping a low profile can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles.
"Your Majesty, the shadow guard is here, and now the four countries have once again entered the era of melee. The Land of Fire united with the Land of the Forest and launched a frenzied attack on the Land of Stone and the Land of Wind in the south, intending to annex the territories of the two countries. Seeing that the two of them were safe and sound, Tianke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stepped forward to report the news he had just received.
"Why? Didn't these four countries already have a truce and a gentleman's agreement?" Bing Xuan asked puzzled.
"For some reason, a large number of powerful demon beasts have appeared in the armies of the Fire Country and the Forest Country to help them fight. Now, with their powerful monsters, the two countries have invaded the territory of the other two countries and conquered several cities. Tian Ke said in detail.
"Anyway, ordinary people can't see the power of the world. You ordered the Shadow Guard to send the news of the unsealing of the ice city back to the village, and it is estimated that by the time the clan arrived, the ice city would have been able to enter and leave freely. When the time comes, let the old patriarch arrange manpower to quickly transfer the things that had time to be withdrawn in the future. By the way, in the current troubled times, we must tell them to avoid danger properly. Bing Xuan said.
"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it. Tian Ke responded.
"Wait a minute. Also, our Ice Clan is too numerous to be wiped out by the rebels of the past, so you ordered the shadow guards to take advantage of this chaos to carefully investigate the people who are still surviving in their suffering, and make sure that their hearts have not changed, and send them all back to the village. Moreover, all the material brought back from here, do not hide, and directly invest in the defense of the village. Bing Xuan added.
"The subordinates obeyed. Tian Ke paused slightly, and seeing that Bing Xuan didn't make any more arrangements, he turned around and arranged for his teammates to inform the shadow guard.
"Perhaps, the world is in turmoil, and that small mountain village has become our last happy land, although it is a little poorer, but I believe that we can build it more prosperous and beautiful. Bing Xuan muttered to himself.
This momentum of wind and rain is coming, so that everyone who has been idle for many days begins to feel depressed and uneasy. After the order was delivered, everyone left the ice city, which was still uninhabited. At this moment, the only task is to find the first emperor, and then return to the village, to seek temporary stability, and wait for the situation in the world to stabilize. Bing Xuan always had an inexplicable feeling, always feeling that a bigger conspiracy was brewing under this troubled world.
With some guidance from the previous ancestors, Bing Xuan decided to enter the Amethyst Mountain Range to meet the ice demon beast, maybe it could tell him something about his father. Everyone walked south along the ice city, but fortunately, the land of fire and the country of forest had been allied, and there was no war on the border between the two countries. However, the villages passed through on the way were all left behind by old and young women and children. It seems that the strong men have already joined the battlefield and served the country. Everyone was still cautious, only summoning the snow leopard of the water moon for the three women to ride, while the Qingfeng Eagle kept hovering above everyone, reporting the surrounding situation in a timely manner.
Due to the turmoil, the identity of the Mu family is no longer useful, and if it is not good, it will bring the disaster of killing, and everyone can only wander as experiencers.
The mainland is in chaos, and some people with bad intentions with a little strength have also found opportunities, and groups of robbers who occupy the mountains as kings have appeared in the mountains and forests. However, these clowns have not yet reached the point where they need to be requisitioned by a large army, and the two countries that are busy with the war have temporarily allowed them to wreak havoc in the township, as long as it is not too much, the remaining sergeants will only turn a blind eye.
Everyone traveled hundreds of miles all the way, and they also encountered several bandits and robbers who robbed houses, and those with a little quality, everyone simply sent them away, and they were really uninteresting after seeing everyone's inadvertently exposed strength, and fled in panic. And some vicious people even raised their knives and guns at innocent people and children. Everyone no longer suppressed their personalities, and cleaned up these scum cleanly.
The closer they get to the Amethyst Mountains, the more rampant the bandits become, and their strength is significantly stronger than those who rob houses. When the group arrived a little later, they saw several small villages that had been slaughtered. The rising flames signaled that it was not long before it was over. Looking at the old and young who were lying in a pool of blood, everyone felt that their clansmen were also humiliated and killed like this back then.
"Enter the Amethyst Mountains, bandits and robbers, not a single one will be left. The resentful Bing Xuan said angrily.
"Kill, kill, kill!" everyone responded passionately.
The real evil only needs to be punished by iron-blooded means.
Everyone no longer hides their strength, and each summons a war pet, and the journey of hundreds of miles is just around the corner. Qingfeng Diao passed back the news and informed everyone of the locations of the nearest thieves' dens. Everyone was resolute and rushed into the most vast inland mountain range, the Amethyst Mountain Range, which was nearly thousands of miles away from the ice city.
Without Bing Xuan's command, the people who entered the thief's den directly began to harvest the lives of people who had sinned heavily. After all, it is a rabble without rules, and there are too many disparities in strength. The flying feather stands on the body of the Qingfeng Eagle, and kills the fish that have slipped through the net at any time. The powerful claws tore apart the humans in front of him again and again, and the anger of the Flame Lion King unleashed wantonly, burning the humility and sin in front of him.
