Chapter 414: A Man Who Has Been Dead for Many Years

Falling Snow Valley. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's not quite cold, but you can already feel the cold of winter in the snowy valley at the end of September.

It's fine during the day, but if you don't add a few more clothes when the wind blows at night, people are really too cold to bear.

Every year at the turn of autumn and winter, the snow valley always changes. At first it rained, then it was foggy all day, and after a while, it started to snow.

This condition usually lasts for nearly 20 days, and sometimes there is no sunny day even for a month. It is not until the beginning of winter, after a heavy snowfall, that the sky will clear again.

It hadn't rained or fog tonight, but the wind was blowing.

When the cold wind blew on my face, I only felt a burst of pain.

In the bitter cold wind, on a hill outside the Falling Snow Valley, two men wrapped in black robes stood quietly one after the other, and they didn't know how long they had been standing.

At this moment, their eyes were all coldly looking at the starry lights in the falling snow valley.

The man in front of him was the first to speak, "What a beautiful night view."

The man in the back chimed in: "It's really beautiful. However, although the scenery is beautiful, it is about to be destroyed, and it is a pity to think about it."

"yes, it's a pity. I don't know if I will see such a beautiful night view again in the future"?

"Maybe, maybe not, who knows."

After a brief conversation, both fell silent at the same time.

After a long while, the man in front finally withdrew his gaze from the Falling Snow Valley, and asked coldly, "How is the situation with the Ethereal Peak and the Fengyue Sect?"

The man in the rear immediately said: "Yuan Ao, Wei Song and the others have not succeeded."

The man in front sighed and said, "It's a pity."

The man in the back frowned and asked, "Lord, what should we do next?" The operation against the Wind Moon Sect and the Ethereal Peak has failed, are we still going to attack the Falling Snow Valley?"

The man in front said lightly: "Of course".

The man in the rear hurriedly said: "But ......"?

The man in front immediately interrupted, "Do you think our operation against the Ethereal Peak and the Wind Moon Sect has failed?"

The man in the back asked, "Isn't it?"

"Of course not".

"That's ......".

The man in front smiled and said, "Yuan Ao, Wei Song and the others can only be regarded as a few small minions who are standing in the front, and their role is just to distract the attention of the people in the Wind Moon Sect and the Ethereal Peak Sect, so that they mistakenly think that the civil strife has subsided."

"In other words, the action against the Ethereal Peak and the Wind Moon Sect has not started at all"?

"Not bad. Our action is far from beginning, and it will be the real fatal blow when the people of the Wind Moon Sect and the Ethereal Peak have slackened."

"What about the Falling Snow Valley, when to start"?

The man in front of him suddenly opened his shirt, and let the cold wind pour directly into it from the neckline. The biting cold wind suddenly blew cold his heart and his blood. Facing the cold wind, he said coldly: "Now".

Inner Valley.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the valley is getting quieter and quieter, and most of the disciples have already fallen asleep.

Luo Qingyu hadn't slept yet, and neither did Xie Shan. At this time, the two of them were standing quietly in the courtyard of the Shaogu Lord's residence, and they didn't know how long they had been standing.

Although the wind was biting, they didn't seem to feel the slightest chill at all.

Perhaps, it was just because the chill in Luo Qingyu's heart was far colder than this cold night wind a hundred times colder.

Looking at the look on Luo Qingyu's face, Xie Shan couldn't help but think of the situation a few days ago.

On that day, he and Luo Qingyu went to visit Luo Wenbin as usual, during which Luo Wenbin seemed to say something to Luo Qingyu.

Actually, it's nothing, it's too common for a father and son to say a few words. It's just that what makes Xie Shan strange is that this time Luo Qingyu stayed in the room three times longer than before.

What's even more strange is that when Luo Qingyu came out of Luo Wenbin's study, his expression was too dignified, so that Xie Shan was startled.

It seems that in his memory, the young master's face has never been so solemn, or serious, and he doesn't know what the old master just said to the young master.

This made Xie Shan feel a strong uneasiness in his heart, and after a slight hesitation, he asked tentatively, "Young Master, ...... you?"

Before he could finish speaking, Luo Qingyu interrupted: "Uncle Xie, how many guards are there in the valley now?"

Xie Shan immediately said: "There are more than two thousand."

Luo Qingyu shook his head directly and said, "Not enough, far from enough."

"Not enough"?

Xie Shan couldn't help frowning.

"Yes, it's not enough ......", Luo Qingyu nodded, his expression was extremely solemn, and he directly ordered, no, it should be said that it was an order: "You immediately recall all the elite disciples outside the valley, and all of them join the defense in the valley."

Xie Shan was taken aback for a moment and confirmed: "Are you sure you want to recall all the elite disciples outside the valley?"

"I'm very sure ......", Luo Qingyu added in order to let Xie Shan understand what he meant: "I mean everyone except for the disciples who can't come back after taking care of the industry. In addition, immediately send an order to the disciples who are going out to run errands, telling them to stop all activities, and rush back in the starry night to guard the base camp first."

Xie Shan was surprised: "What's wrong?"

Luo Qingyu was silent, and after a long time, he said lightly: "Uncle Xie, don't you think it's a little strange"?

"What"?

"With Duanmu Jing's strength, he can actually threaten his father"?

"It's ......".

"In the last battle at the top of the Ethereal Peak, we can say that we won a big victory. However, when I thought about it afterwards, I always felt that something was wrong, with the strength of Duanmu Jing and Ethereal Peak, my father was so scared that in order to protect me, Luoxue Valley did not hesitate to kill his son-in-law at Xiaoxue's wedding."

"I also find this strange, it seems...... Seem...... , with Duanmu Jing's strength, it seems that it is not strong enough to destroy my Falling Snow Valley in one fell swoop."

"In other words, Duanmu Jing can't actually threaten his father at all"?

"Indeed".

"However, the reason why my father wanted to kill Xiaofeng was precisely because he was threatened, and the other party used the lives of everyone in my Luoxue Valley as a bargaining chip, so my father had to be ruthless to Xiaofeng"?

"Not bad".

"So, the question is, since Duanmu Jing didn't have the strength to threaten his father, why was his father scared to that extent?"

"I can't figure this matter out."

"Actually, it's easy to understand."

"Oh".

"That's just because the person who threatened my father wasn't Duanmu Jing at all."

"What"?

Luo Qingyu didn't pay attention to Xie Shan's shock, in fact, he himself was not shocked. However, he smiled indifferently and said abruptly: "Until today, I didn't know that it turned out that from beginning to end, the person my father was afraid of was never Duanmu Jing."

"This ......", Xie Shan looked at Luo Qingyu stunned, if he was only shocked in his heart just now, then it was already fear.

"It's just that I still don't understand, what kind of person is it that makes the master scared to that extent"?

"Actually, I don't understand either."

Xie Shan asked, "Who is that person?"

Luo Qingyu was silent for a long time, and said lightly: "I can only tell you that it is a person who has been dead for many years."
