Wind and snow, blowing in front.

Blow away anything that dared to stand in the way of the cold and frost, and replace it with the white flakes of snow, laying a white carpet on the man's path.

The sky, which had been very clear, began to be filled with gray-white clouds as the man moved slowly, losing all sunlight and warmth.

Tao Zhaide, walking slowly on this long white carpet.

He walked in a straight line and never turned around. Even when faced with a rough road, terrible hail will naturally fall from the sky, destroying the rocks and trees in front of you.

If he encounters one river after another, long before he steps on it, these flowing rivers have stopped flowing and turned into cold ice.

He walked slowly, alone, at the forefront.

Behind him, an ice cart with a small debt ice coffin is pushed, propelled by six strong snowmen.

Behind this ice car, there was the little evil child who rode the selfless one, and Murong Minglan and Xingyan who were walking together.

Then, behind them......

Bang, bang, bang-

Heavy and jumbled footsteps came and went.

Following this Guanghan Palace Master was an army of thousands of beasts transformed into human form!

Each of these humans, transformed from the fiercest and bloodthirstiest animals, seemed so fierce and vicious, baring their teeth and cracking their mouths. They just followed, and followed.

Looking up, there are thousands of birds hovering in the sky. From time to time, there were bursts of mournful screams. It's as if to announce to the world—

Winter is coming.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Don't stay in the city. Palace of Resentment.

As a frontier city and trading city of the Imperial Territory, the city is still as prosperous and prosperous as it was when Tao Zhaide left three years ago.

In the face of the upcoming Chinese New Year, as well as the annual year-end martial arts competition to be held during the New Year, the entire palace of resentment has begun to decorate and prepare. Some disciples who were full of expectations to become a winner at the year-end martial arts tournament and developed their mental bodies began to gear up and seize the last time to work hard.

Up and down the entire Palace of Resentment, there was a calm atmosphere.

But......

"Hey. Have you seen the dark clouds in the north? ”

On the watchtower of the Palace of Resentment, the two disciples in charge of guarding the guards looked out at the mountains to the north. Ask questions.

"Cut, what's the big deal? It's winter, it's snowing. However, this year's winter came really early, and it was supposed to come back in November. It's been early October. ”

"Is it that much snow? It looks like the whole mountain is going to turn over. ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Hey, by the way, let's get down to business. Now the four princesses of our Hate Palace are now 'mature'. You say, which princess will the lord choose to be the 'pillar'?"

"Well...... I don't know. Although I am a member of the Eastern Chamber of Commerce, for a low-level member like me, it should make no difference to me that no matter which princess becomes the pillar. ”

"Why is there no difference? Sue you, I'm betting on the night princess of our West Night Altar, and the stakes are not small. I've bought 100 of them! If I win, I'll be all at once prosperous!"

"Are you really going to buy it? if the city lord finds out. I can't ...... you unless I kill you."

"It's okay, it's okay~~! Now I don't know how many people don't stay in the city to gamble on this kind of thing! Could it be that the city lord can't kill the entire people who don't stay in the city?"

"Hmm...... That's right. However, our princess of the East strictly ordered us to engage in this kind of gambling......"

"I don't think your princess Dong should have much confidence, right? After all, what you are most skilled in the East Chamber of Commerce is economics, not immortal arts. Think about it, whether it is our West Night Temple, or the Southern Medicine Palace, whose status has steadily improved in recent years, even the Beifeng Hall, which suddenly fell to the bottom a few years ago, is committed to cultivating immortal methods. It's only you who have been doing what those vulgar people would do. ”

"What's the solution? The princess in our altar seems to have completely lost her money, and the only thing I can see at the annual meeting is that she is counting money. And I have been counting for more than ten years, from the age of five to the age of twenty, and my thoughts every day are money, money, money, how to make money, how to make more money, and how to pick the door. If it's about obsession, I guess no one in the entire Hate Palace can compare to our princess. But...... It's a pity that the obsession is used to make money. ”

"Isn't that princess of the western night of ours, who sleeps all day and is in good spirits at night, and has turned the biological clocks of our entire Western Night Temple almost upside down. Fortunately, I belong to the kind of work that requires someone to be stationed at any time of the day, otherwise I would not be able to stand it if I get up at night every day to look at the moon 365 days a year. ”

"Hahaha, it looks like you're not having a good time. ”

"Alas, by the way, brother, then tell me, this time the annual meeting, the East Chamber of Commerce, the South Medicine Palace, the West Night Temple, and the North Wind Hall, which of the four princesses is most likely to become the 'pillar'?"

"Hmm...... It's hard to say. If you want to say that you have the highest prestige right now...... It should belong to the Nangong princess of the Nanyao Palace. And Princess Nangong's strength is not weak, and she is also very gentle and cordial in dealing with people. ”

"Uh-huh, I understand. ”

"However, I don't know much about the strength of your night princess of the West Night Temple. But in terms of popularity...... I'm sorry brother, probably because you always have a relationship between day and night, so it seems very mysterious. A lot of people have barely seen your Night Princess, so it's always a little less popular. ”

"Alas, brother, I understand this, and I don't blame you. ”

"As for the princess of our Eastern Chamber of Commerce, I don't have much hope. I heard from some people who accompanied the princess that our princess of Qian Cave spent much more time watching money and managing business in a year than she spent practicing. If this can become a pillar, then I can really buy a piece of tofu and kill it. ”

"Brother, you demean your own princess so much, be careful that the wall has ears. ”

"Don't worry, although our princess of the money hole is very cautious when it comes to money, as long as it has nothing to do with money, she doesn't seem to be angry. However, as long as the slightest bit of money provokes her, no matter how small the matter, she will immediately lash out. I don't even know how many months I've been deducted from my wages, and I don't know how many days and nights I've been hungry because I can't afford to eat. ”

"Uh...... Your princess...... It seems to be very strong from another aspect...... So, what about the last one left, the princess of the North Wind Hall?"

"Oh, this princess of the North Wind Yerong, she ...... Hey, brother, no! Look at the clouds over there...... Don't you think, it's really a little too weird?!"

The two disciples who were chatting raised their heads and looked to the north. I saw that from the top of the rugged mountain, the gray clouds that were originally only floating there were now beginning to press down rapidly!

And the climate, which was supposed to be just autumn, seemed to have dropped by more than ten degrees in a row at this moment, which made people start to tremble!

Dangdang――――――――!!!

Finally, the piercing siren finally sounded at this moment, although the two soldiers hadn't seen the situation over there very clearly, but looking at the disciples of the Resentment Palace who had begun to run on the walls of the city wall, they finally couldn't bear it anymore, turned the spears in their hands and ran downstairs, heading to answer the assembly horn.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Originally, the city gates were left wide open for the convenience of business, but now they are tightly closed.

Originally, the snow that would not come for a month was slowly falling above everyone's heads.

The disciples of the Palace of Resentment stood on the city wall with their weapons in their hands, looking at the scene in front of them.

Looking at the troops who were still some distance from the city wall, they looked miscellaneous and had no formation to speak of. At the same time, he was looking at the man standing in front of the fifty-thousand-odd army.

That one...... Summoning the people of this storm. (To be continued......)
