A palace deep in the Imperial Palace of the Zhou Dynasty has a solemn and dull atmosphere.

Even the most favored eunuchs were cautious and did not dare to make any sound.

He was afraid that he would make some noise that shouldn't be made, thus alerting the old eunuch Feng who was guarding outside the imperial study, or even His Majesty the Emperor who was reviewing memorials even though he was ill.

The sky is getting darker and the cold wind is coming again.

The imperial dining room brought a sumptuous banquet, which was brought out intact shortly after, except for a bowl of bird's nest porridge.

Until the zenith of the moon, approaching midnight, the imperial study room was still brightly lit, and from time to time violent coughs could be heard coming from it. The eunuchs and maids waiting nearby were so shocked that they felt cold all over, and they did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

Suddenly, the old eunuch Feng who was guarding the door suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at the night outside.

Then he looked at his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and his mind with his mouth, and his mind began to wander outside.

After a while, soft footsteps sounded.

Approach from far to near.

"Shopkeeper Qin, something serious has happened..."

A breeze blew by, picking up flakes of snow.

Suddenly, her ears covered with pendants trembled slightly and she listened intently.

A figure appeared quietly in front of the imperial study room.

To put it another step back, even if they wanted to sacrifice all their belongings to ensure safety, it would not be feasible at all among the alien races who are like beasts.

Shopkeeper Qin pinched his thigh hard, feeling as if he was still hungover and having a nightmare related to blood and killing.

Shopkeeper Qin murmured to himself and couldn't help but think of the rumors he heard from the old man.

Everyone around the campfire had their weapons drawn, and their bodies tensed up as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Captain Zeng, who was guarding the caravan, suddenly saw a flag raised high in the distance.

Where the light of the bonfire meets the darkness of night, an extra person appears out of nowhere.

Shang Zongfeng glanced into the Imperial Study Room, "Your Majesty, haven't you rested yet?"

Everyone in the Yuan Dynasty declined Prince Cheng's request to stay, packed their bags and returned north.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and shopkeeper Qin shivered, and his upper and lower teeth were chattering as he spoke.

He gritted his teeth and said word by word, "You actually killed Cha Gan!?"

………………

When exactly did it arrive?

When the old eunuch Feng said this, he also sighed, "There are also the various ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang. A hundred years ago, His Majesty Emperor Wu opened up the territory and included this place in the territory of this dynasty. However, those people only know how to fear power and don't know how to be virtuous.

It seems that there were still fewer killings back then."

The leader of the company has traveled all over the country for so many years, but he has never encountered such a situation.

There seemed to be muffled thunder rolling past in the distance.

Zeng Biaotou looked at the corpses lying on the ground in front of him, smelled the strong smell of blood, looked solemn and shook his head, "He is not a ghost, but a real disciple of a great sect with the inheritance of Quanzhen inner training."

"Boss Zeng, haven't we seen a ghost?"

He stopped here and turned his head to look back, with a ferocious expression on his face.

Sitting on a stone not far away was a tall and muscular man.

Wei Tao took one step forward and came to the bonfire from the intersection of light and darkness.

The animal skin wine bag slipped from the strong man's hand and fell to the gravel-covered ground with a soft sound.

Shopkeeper Qin was the first to react, urging, "Quick, quick, cheer up, hurry up and leave this place southward!"

His pupils suddenly shrank, and his complexion instantly turned pale.

Chief Zeng watched him walking from a distance, and soon arrived at the sparse woods.

"Now that I meet Yuan Daozi again, I have already reached the realm of my master, but I want to see which little guy is so unlucky that he insists on bumping into my hand and reappearing forty years.

Old things from before.”

He never spoke, nor did he sit around the pot eating meat. He just kept pouring strong wine into his mouth.

boom!

The bonfire that was burning quietly suddenly suddenly swelled.

Two days later.

From time to time, a cold wind howled by, rolling up a layer of floating snow from the ground, and mixed it with the snowflakes falling from the sky, leaving a vast expanse of white everywhere.

I also saw snowflakes fluttering high and blooming in the sky.

"Do you know who did it?" the old woman asked slowly.

"Chagan's gang has been out for a few hours. Even if they dismount and crawl in the snow, they should be able to crawl back."

"I would like to ask you all, as you came all the way south, have you found any traces left by the warriors of the Northland Desolate Tribe in other places?"

The old eunuch slowly shook his head and said, "The war in Mozhou is not going well, and the chaos in southern Xinjiang has begun again. In addition, there are some Jiedu envoys who are disobedient and disobeying orders. Your Majesty has not been in a good mood these past two days."

Yuanze Ji Lingling shuddered and knelt down suddenly on the ground, "Reply to the master, they, they were all summoned by the gods and went to the Great Brahma Heaven."

I could only hear people screaming, horses neighing, and pitiful howls, mixed in the cooling night wind, and carried from afar.

However, he looks so young and has reached a height above the sixth level of Qi and blood, which is simply unimaginable for warriors like us who practice heretic and residual methods."

Around it, fragments of bones and flesh were scattered all over the ground.

He stood up slowly and held the broad sword at his waist.

Shopkeeper Qin's eyes widened, his mouth opened, and he stared blankly at the frail scholar standing there motionless. He just stretched out his hand and pressed lightly, causing a war horse that rushed to him to be torn into pieces, and he slashed with a knife on the horse's back.

The alien cavalry also had their flesh and bones separated, turning into a rain of blood flying all over the sky.

Wei Tao remained silent and allowed the man to escape desperately.

I don't even know what I said.

"Do you know where the master is hiding? If you can lead me to find them, I can spare your life.

"I went down the mountain on the order of my teacher to look for traces of the master who had sneaked into Beihuang, but all I met were trash like you. It's really disappointing."

The shadowy knight is hiding among them.

"The information I have received is that you are inquiring about Qinglin Mountain from various sources. So now that I, Yuan Daozi, am standing here, it is difficult to find your so-called guru."

"You shouldn't ask this question, but I should ask you." The figure walked slowly, leaving a clear line of footprints on the snow.

Zeng Biaotou, who was on the side, was filled with fear and despair. When he saw the somewhat broken beast flag, he even completely gave up the thought of surviving.

"This place is hundreds of miles away from the Northland border. How could they appear here!?"

"The faster we go, the farther away the danger will be from us. Anyway, I don't dare to expect that when we encounter the foreign cavalry again, there will be such an expert coming to rescue us!"

Just this one arrow made everyone's heart sink to the bottom.

Suddenly, without any warning, he jumped up and plunged into the depths of darkness like lightning.

After thinking silently for a moment, Chief Zeng continued, "A long time ago, I had the good fortune to have contact with a great master of the visceral realm. This young master gave me a feeling that he was very similar to that senior, so he must be a similar practitioner.

for levels.

The strong man used his hands and feet to move backwards.

It seemed as if a muffled thunder exploded in the rocky hill.

Then he stood there motionless, as if waiting for something

A hoarse, dry voice sounded slowly, and an old woman in complicated clothes appeared quietly next to the strong man.

His eyes swept over the strong man and then landed on the faces of the people behind him.

Boom!

The vibration got much closer.

The size of the team is not small. There are more than 40 large trucks pulling goods, plus more than 100 guards and workers, stretching a long distance from beginning to end.

…………

Whether they are horse thieves who come and go like the wind, or bandits in the Luocao Mountain Forest, when they encounter a large-scale caravan, they always seek money instead of killing people as their main purpose.

A suppressed exclamation sounded in his ears, causing him to raise his head suddenly and gasp involuntarily.

Several strong men gathered around the fire, drank from large bowls, ate meat, and burst into loud laughter from time to time.

The strong wind roared and exploded, causing large and small gravels to fly everywhere.

Outside the door, Shang Zongfang raised his head and looked at the thick clouds above, feeling a little gloomy for a while.

Having said this, the strong man tightened the seal of the wine bag and turned his head to look into the distance.

Chief Zeng was about to give a warning, but when he thought that the aliens from the Northern Wilderness were hiding in the darkness, he immediately gave up the idea and closed the mouth he had just opened tightly.
