Volume II: The Affair of the Northern Cold Chapter 13 (52): The Three Parties

Outside the endless ice field, Coldwind Town.

Coldwind is one of the three towns closest to the Endless Ice Fields in northern Hokuriku Prefecture, located in the southwest of the Endless Ice Fields.

At noon, the sun was moving into the middle of the sky.

Outside the only tavern in Coldwind Town, a young man in a cold-resistant animal skin suit looked at the environment in the tavern, shook his head helplessly and walked in. The young man in the beast suit was Zhao An, who left the Northern Han Sect a year later.

Walking into the tavern, Zhao An found a seat and sat down, and shouted to Xiao Er: "A pot of spirits, some pickled animal meat, and a noodle bag." ”

Xiao Er replied, "Okay! Wait a minute!" and walked into the room.

Taking advantage of the gap of waiting, Zhao An thought about one thing that he was very puzzled about, that is, Scarlet Village Jing did not participate in the year-end assessment, and what was even more exaggerated was that the whole person was gone. What's going on?

"Guest, you want wine and meat, as well as noodles. Xiao Er's voice interrupted Zhao An's thoughts.

Zhao An retracted his thoughts, nodded at Xiao Er, and said, "Thank you." ”

Because he had to travel, he hadn't eaten all day, so Zhao An was very hungry now. So he simply gave up thinking about the quiet of the village and concentrated on eating the food and wine in front of him.

Just as Zhao An was eating, another person came in outside the tavern. The visitor was a handsome young man wearing a red robe with a black sheath sword on his back. The young man walked over to the empty table and asked Xiao Er for some wine and meat.

The young man has an extraordinary temperament, and he is dressed in red and embroidered with gold thread with the unique aurora pattern of Hokuriku Prefecture. The appearance of such a teenager in the quaint cold wind town tavern really attracted the attention of some drinkers, and Zhao An was no exception.

But after a while, everyone's interest passed, and they stopped looking at the young man in red.

After Zhao An finished eating, he wiped his mouth and shouted, "Little Er, settle the bill." ”

Just as Xiao Er walked over, a sturdy middle-aged man walked into the tavern, but he did not walk to the empty table, but walked to the counter and talked to the shopkeeper.

The two didn't say a few words, and the middle-aged man suddenly looked angry, and took the thin shopkeeper out of the counter and threw him to the ground.

The sudden turn of events frightened the drinkers in the tavern, and most of them put their money on the table and left the tavern for fear of setting themselves on fire.

Zhao An walked up to the frightened Xiao Er, stuffed the wine money into his arms, and asked, "Xiao Er, who is that person?

"Why don't you leave? Alas, don't think about it, that person is a tyrant in Cold Wind Town, a great master of the Hidden Realm Twin Heavens!"

After listening to Xiao Er's words, Zhao An's original idea of taking care of things was dispelled. Although he was able to defeat an ordinary Secret Realm Dual Heaven martial artist, it was quite troublesome. Thinking of this, Zhao An walked towards the outside of the tavern.

Just as Zhao An walked outside the door of the tavern, a sharp sword intent piercing people's hearts came from behind Zhao An's back, but it also appeared for a moment.

Zhao An hurriedly turned to look at the tavern, the sturdy middle-aged man's clothes were red with blood, and he fell to the ground and lost consciousness, while the middle-aged man was standing next to the red-clothed young man who aroused everyone's interest.

The long sword carried by the young man in red had already reached his hand, and human blood dripped down the blade of the sword. The young man in red shook off the blood stains of the long sword with an indifferent face, then returned the long sword to the sheath, and carried the black sheath long sword to his back again.

Drops of cold sweat oozed from Zhao An's forehead, and his palms trembled. This person is so strong, if he stepped forward to challenge, it might be exactly the same as the fate of a middle-aged man.

The young man in red is none other than the magic sword, the sword boy Tang Ping, one of the four martial arts geniuses in Beilu Prefecture who is as famous as Xue Ji.

Tang Ping picked up the unfinished liquor on the table, put the money on the table, and then left the tavern. Tang Ping disappeared into the flow of people on the street, and finally disappeared into the street in the distance.

Until Tang Ping disappeared at the entrance of the street, the shock brought by that sword still made everyone in the tavern stand still.

Zhao An's trembling palms clenched, and his eyes showed a brilliance different from the surprise just now. If you are afraid of this, what else can you talk about achieving immortals and resurrecting your parents and sister?

Night is falling, and the full moon is gradually hanging in the sky.

After buying the necessary things, Zhao An found a good inn in Hanfeng Town, and then paid for the night.

——————

The night was like ink, and it was approaching the second half of the night.

Endless Ice Field, Periphery of the Extreme North Rift, Joint Station of the Sects of the Northern Continent Prefecture.

The main body of the station is a huge stone palace built in a gap in the ice sheet, and the palace is divided into three floors. The first floor is where ordinary sect members stay, the second floor is where the elders of the sects stay, and the third floor is the center of the palace defense formation and the conference room.

In the conference room on the third floor, the innate masters from the various sects of the Northern Continent Prefecture were arranged on both sides of the long table according to their cultivation order, a total of six people.

At the top of the long table sat three human immortals from Beilu Prefecture, namely Xue Qianhui, the great elder of the Northern Han Sect, Xu Bing, a new immortal in White Dragon City, and Guo's worship of Ice Butterfly Immortal Butterfly Huan.

The Ice Butterfly Immortal has the highest cultivation among the three human immortals, and has already stepped into the late stage of the First Heaven, so he is the one who presides over the meeting. This is also the result of the compromise between the Northern Han Sect and the White Dragon City!

"Everyone's meeting begins!" Diehuan's cold voice came into the ears of each innate grandmaster, and all the grandmasters also fell silent.

With a light cough, Die Huan spoke: "The main content of this meeting is to assign tasks so that the various sects can quickly and efficiently search for the Washing Heart Sect Cave Heaven hidden in the crack in the extreme north.

The Arctic Fracture has three parts: the core area, the inner ring, and the periphery. White Dragon City is responsible for the search of the core area, assisted by the Leyline Gate, Northern Han Sect is responsible for the search of the inner circle, Nianchun City and Xuemei Sect are assisted, and Zhenhai City Guo Clan is responsible for the outer blockade, and Quanchong Sect, Snow Sword Sect and Ice Refining Sect are assisted. Do you have any objections?"

The innate grandmasters were all silent, how could they have any objections! Such a distribution was naturally the result of the joint consultation of the various sects.

The Northern Han Sect and the White Dragon City are in a transcendent position in the Northern Continent Prefecture, and there are at least three immortals or above in the sect, and the core area and inner circle are naturally in charge of them.

And the leyline gate that is good friends with them and has a human immortal, Xuemei Sect and Nianchun City can naturally participate.

The three sects of Quanchong Sect, Snow Sword Sect, and Ice Refining Sect have the highest cultivation level, but they are only half-step human immortals, so they can only participate in the blockade of the periphery. However, it is a little strange that the Guo clan of Zhenhai City, which has two human immortals, also asked to participate in the blockade of the periphery.

"Since there is no objection, I will talk about the specifics.

The sects participating in the search of the core area and the inner circle are led by the innate grandmasters within the sect, leading ten outstanding Vault Realm martial artists, who rotate every three hours. The sects that participated in the outer blockade sent the innate grandmasters and secret treasure realm martial artists in the sect to guard the various entrances of the extreme north rift, preventing the scattered cultivators and other small sect families from entering.

By the way, you must be careful of the remnants of the Heart Washing Sect, they most likely already know about the Cave Heaven.

Okay, that's all I have to say. To be more specific, I will send a jade slip to inform you. Adjourned!"

——————

In the second half of the night, it was close to dawn.

Endless ice field, the inner circle of the extreme north rift, under a certain cresm.

All the remaining Heart Cleansing Sect martial artists in Beilu Prefecture were stationed at this crack, three Innate Realm Grandmasters and twenty-eight Secret Realm martial artists.

Ouyang Yao, who was sitting in the center of the station, held a jade slip in his hand, and the content of this jade slip was the task distribution and specific deployment of the sects of Beilu Prefecture. After reading the jade slip, Ouyang Yao crushed it, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Before the final plan, let Ouyang Jing and them frustrate the spirit of these sanctimonious people a little.

"Senior Ouyang, it's okay to frustrate their spirit, but don't let them be suspicious, thus exposing the second lady. "The person who spoke was the sword slave, that is, Song Lei.

Ouyang Yao turned his head to Song Lei, who was leaning against the ice wall, and said, "No, I have my own measure, don't worry." ”

Song Lei saw that Ouyang Yao had a number, so he changed the topic and said: "Senior Ouyang, the resurrection of the master has already arrived in Cold Wind Town, and I am afraid that he will not be able to enter the Extreme North Rift. Can you send someone to help him?"

Ouyang Yao opened his mouth and smiled: "This is okay, I will let Ouyang Ren go." ”
