Volume II: The Affair of the Northern Cold Chapter 33 (72): Inside the Cedar Forest

Ice Moon Peak, somewhere on the mountainside, inside an ice cave.

Xue Ji, who had just appeared in the North Cold Cave Heaven, was lying on a huge ice bed at the moment, her eyes closed and her breath even.

Xue Qianji stood at the exit of the ice cave, quietly looking at the shining purple stars in the sky, his face anxious. And beside Xue Qianji, there was a majestic old man with an extraordinary aura, with a calm face. This person is the previous sect master of the Northern Han Sect, Han Bai.

Xue Qianji couldn't hold back after all, turned his head to Han Bai beside him and said, "Master, are we just waiting to be killed?

Han Bai touched his white beard and said calmly: "The coordinates of the Ice Moon Cave are only known to Xue Ji. And each time it is opened, it will consume a large amount of Yukihime's immortal power, causing her to fall into a deep sleep.

Therefore it is not possible to open a second time in a short time. It's useless for us to be in a hurry, so we can only sit back and wait for Yukihime to recover. Now I can only hope that the snow in the cave can be delayed a little longer. ”

“...... , alas!" Xue Qianji originally wanted to say something, but after all, he just sighed heavily and quietly looked at the purple star shining in the sky.

————————

The Ice Moon Cave Heaven is different from the ordinary Human Immortal Cave Heaven. As a saint-level cave sky, the Ice Moon Cave Heaven is not attached to the Kyushu world, but to the stars outside the sky.

The difference brought about by this is that the innate grandmasters and human immortals who can greatly use the power of the rules of Kyushu will be powerless to borrow in this kind of cave, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

This is also the reason why Qin Sheng and Feng Yi did not send the Innate Grandmaster to go with Zhao An, after all, the gains outweigh the losses.

Because it is attached to the stars outside the sky, the interior of the Ice Moon Cave Heaven is always in the dark night. Under the night is a huge cedar forest, most of the cedars are counted in thousands of years, and in the center of the tall cedars is the energy core that maintains the entire cave world, the Frost Sky Treasure Tree.

The northern periphery of the cedar forest.

At this time, Zhao An and Xiao Yezi, who had already entered the cave, climbed to the thousand-year-old cedar canopy, looked into the distance, and clearly saw the towering Frost Sky Treasure Tree.

Under the stars at night, the Frost Sky Treasure Tree glows with a blue glow, illuminating the dim cedar forest. There was a cloud of blue light suspended in front of the Frost Sky Treasure Tree, and that was the tree fruit.

With the strength of Zhao An's Secret Treasure Realm in the late stage of the Second Heaven, he could naturally see the fruit in front of the Frost Heaven Treasure Tree. It was something he had longed for for a long time, and had held back for it for three years. No matter who stood between Zhao An and Shuguo, Zhao An would inevitably tear that person apart.

The eastern periphery of the cedar forest.

Xue Ji, who was originally rushing to the middle of the cedar forest, suddenly felt a murderous aura coming from behind. Just as Xue Ji turned to check, four remnants flew down from the tall cedar trees behind him, and the Pu knife in his hand took Xue Ji's head.

Xue Ji didn't have time to discern who it was, so she could only use the extremely cold energy of her whole body, pull out the long sword on her waist, turn around and swing it suddenly, and the piercing sword wind blew out, dividing into four ways and taking the four people directly.

Martial Arts ~ Falling Snow Sword - Cold Current.

The four of them didn't expect Xue Ji to react so quickly, so they had no choice but to block in a hurry, and they were all knocked down by the sword wind, spitting out a mouthful of old blood. Xue Ji's cultivation was too much higher than them, and under the collision of one blow, all four of them suffered some internal injuries.

The person who originally used murderous aura to attract Xue Ji saw that his teammates were all injured, and he was furious in his heart, jumped out of his hiding place, and shouted: "Don't be rampant, the kid of the Northern Han Sect will take your life!"

The person who drank loudly fell from the sky, accompanied by an overwhelming ghostly shadow, which was breathtaking, and the long sword in his hand took the opportunity to stab Xue Ji in the chest.

Martial arts ~ Nine Phantom Thorns.

Yukihime, who was briefly bewitched by the ghostly shadow, couldn't dodge, and her right arm was cut by the man's sword.

The man hit with a blow and immediately retreated between the four men who had started. He understood that if he wanted to solve the disciples of the Northern Han Sect in front of him, he couldn't do it on his own. Also, I just hit it, and the energy consumption is a bit large.

The first time she was scratched, Xue Ji hurriedly covered the wound with her left hand and sucked out the blood from the wound. Because he wasn't sure if the sword on the opposite side was poisonous, or it was better to be cautious.

Sure enough, it was poisonous! Xue Ji already felt that the internal organs in her body were like fire. If it hadn't been handled in time, maybe Xue Ji would have gone to see Master Zu at this moment.

Seeing that Xue Ji's white face turned slightly red, the five people naturally knew that Xue Ji was poisoned and was unable to swing the sword, so they immediately seized the opportunity to shoot at the same time, wanting to take the opportunity to kill Xue Ji.

Xue Ji really can't swing his sword at the moment, but his strength can still work. Under the concentration of energy, Xue Ji's eyes glowed with an ice-blue halo. In an instant, the five people who rushed towards Xueji were frozen by the frost and fell to the ground, with no lives.

The halo in his eyes dissipated, Xue Ji withdrew his long sword, and after calming down the toxins in his body a little, he walked to a corpse and squatted down to seriously investigate the corpse.

After checking the clothes and remnants of the five corpses, Xue Ji found no clues. Clothes are a common style in Hokuriku Prefecture, and the residual strength has disappeared strangely, and there is no chance to know what sect these people come from.

Without getting any useful information, Xue Ji's face was a little solemn. Although it was a little unbelievable, the five corpses in front of him were telling Xue Ji that there were unidentified people mixed in the Ice Moon Cave sky.

Xue Ji got up and looked into the distance, looking at the Frost Sky Treasure Tree. Since the spatial teleportation into the Ice Moon Cave Heaven is random, everyone is basically scattered.

And the only landmark was the Frost Heaven Treasure Tree, so the disciples of the Northern Han Sect and these unidentified people would definitely rush there.

Thinking of this, Xue Ji naturally couldn't waste time, and used his body technique to fly away in the direction of the Frost Heaven Treasure Tree.

Everywhere in the cedar forest, most of the disciples of the Northern Han Sect who encountered the dead soldiers of the Demon Sect died, after all, the dead soldiers of the Demon Sect were in the dark, and the disciples of the Northern Han Sect were in the light. Only those who have cultivated to a high level, such as Xue Ji and the like, can escape.

The southern periphery of the cedar forest.

Shangguan Yan had also been ambushed by a wave of Demon Sect dead soldiers just now, if it weren't for the large number of them, they might be gone.

There are a total of five elite disciples on Shangguan Yan's side, including Guo Hao and Jia Xing. The cultivation of both of them was in the Secret Treasure Realm, and it was enough to deal with the surprise attack of the Demon Sect's dead soldiers.

And the other two, a man and a woman, were named Gu Ci and Bai Wen respectively, and they were cultivated in the early stage of the Triple Heaven of the Secret Treasure Realm and the late stage of the Second Heaven of the Secret Realm respectively.

Especially Gu Ci, it can be said that among the younger generation of the Northern Han Sect, except for Xue Ji and Shangguan Yan, the cultivation is the highest person, and the swordsmanship is even better than the younger generation.

Looking at the twelve corpses lying around, the five people are still in shock. The attack came so suddenly that all five people suffered some injuries.

"Everyone, it seems that something should have happened in Dong Tian now, and it is likely that it was done against the forces of the Northern Han Sect. And there is only one conspicuous place in the cave, and that is the Frost Heaven Treasure Tree.

Therefore, Senior Brother Xue and the other junior brothers and sisters should all go there, so I suggest that we should go there now. Shangguan Yan said.

Gu Ci echoed: "Senior Sister Shangguan is right, I don't know how many people have mixed in in the cave at present, it is really unwise to stay where I am, and I must join up with other senior brothers and sisters." I agree with Senior Sister Shangguan's suggestion. ”

The other three also spoke, "I agree!"

The western periphery of the cedar forest.

Ling Lan's hand was pinching a female disciple's neck, pushing her against the trunk of a cedar tree.

Ling Lan said coldly: "Senior Sister Mei, Lan'er doesn't want to, who let you see Lan'er's secret?"

Because she was stuck in her neck, Senior Sister Mei asked intermittently, "You don't ...... Be...... Lan'er, you ...... Finally...... Who is it?"

"You don't have to know!"

Before the words fell, Ling Lan's hand was strained, and a crisp voice came from Senior Sister Mei's neck. Her neck was torn off!

As soon as Ling Lan's hand was released, Senior Sister Mei's body fell to the ground on her stomach. Looking at Senior Sister Mei lying on the ground staring blankly, a tear actually crossed Ling Lan's cold face.

Ling Lan flicked away the tears with her fingers and turned to leave.
