Chapter 2121 A Ray of Light

The Yellow River Meeting in the year of 3919 of the Dao calendar saw the emergence of too many dazzling geniuses. Today, seven years later, they have gradually become the protagonists of the world, and the parties in power have begun to stir up the world more and more.

Who is the most talented among them has always been debated. Jiang Wang certainly won the most glory, and the others Dou Zhao and Chong Xuanzun also have room for debate, not to mention Li Yi, who was the first to break the historical record.

But there is one person among them who is "outside the discussion".

That is Xie Ai, the top powerhouse known as the "Winter Emperor".

It is said that he is the reincarnation of Xu Qiuci, the Frost Immortal Lord, more than 2,000 years ago. Now he has ascended to the Dao again, and is not at the same level as contemporary young people, and there is no room for comparison.

The dispute over the Winter Emperor's enlightenment should be the most important event in the northwest of the world in the year of 3921 of the Dao calendar.

But at that time, the Snow Country was closed and closed, so that such a big event, the details of which were never known to outsiders.

Xu Xiangqian and his companions did meet Xie Ai in disguise and on the run, but they still had only a vague idea of ​​how Xie Ai turned the tables, how he ascended to the Yan Dao, and proved himself to be the reincarnation of Xu Qiuci.

We only know that Xie Ai was once hunted down and killed, and the Snow Country directly locked the territory, which did not necessarily mean that it was very friendly to Xie Ai at that time. But judging from the fact that she had the leisure to discuss Taoism with Zhao Wuyan during her escape, I'm afraid everything was in her hands.

And the first battle after the Winter Emperor proved his Taoism was to go to the homeland of Jing State and challenge the Grand Commander of Longwu, Zhong Jing. It was this battle that stopped the westward expansion war of Jing State.

No wonder Huang Sheli was obsessed with the Snow Country, shouting about borrowing troops and sweeping it away.

The Snow Country has become a strong support behind the Northwest Five Nations Alliance - the other support point is Jing State.

Jiang Wang raised the translucent ice cup, slowly drank a sip of ice flame wine, and let his thoughts disperse.

Bingyan wine is a famous wine in the Snow Country. When Baiyujing opened, Baiyuxia planned to introduce this kind of wine as the wine of the town. Later, considering the high purchase price and transportation costs... he changed to transporting snow.

Yes, Jiang Geyuan has arrived in the Snow Country.

After leaving Longmen Academy, he flew here directly.

At this time, the place where he was was called "Wenxian Tower".

Wenxian Tower is the best restaurant in Hanhua City, and it is also the place where Zhao Wuyan met Xie Ai.

Jiang Wang knew one thing clearly-Zhao Wuyan came to the Snow Country as the end of the journey of thousands of miles, and had made up his mind to come to the Snow Country.

She also established the path among many choices and officially prepared for promotion. But after meeting Xie Ai, she changed her mind and went to Tianbei Snow Ridge for retreat, choosing to mix hundreds of schools and open her own abyss.

And Tianbei Snow Ridge is the dojo of Xu Qiuci, the predecessor of Xie Ai's reincarnation.

Of course, it cannot be said that Emperor Xie Ai of Winter is responsible for Zhao Wuyan's current situation. Everything Zhao Wuyan has experienced and encountered on her path to cultivation is part of her cultivation and has had an impact on her.

There is no reason to pursue Mr. Enlightenment just because someone has made a mistake.

Just like the owner of Longmen Academy, he did not come to Snow Country to trouble Xie Ai.

But there is no doubt that Xie Ai has played a crucial role in Zhao Wuyan's path of blending hundreds of schools.

And Jiang Wang instinctively felt that this influence was not simple.

Perhaps it was because Emperor Winter made a move in the Shenxiao World, perhaps because the Taixu Illusion Realm was blocked in the Snow Country, perhaps because of the intelligence fee given by Dou Zhao before departure... or perhaps it was just an unfounded guess.

In short, he did have some doubts.

And he did not tell Xu Xiangqian about this doubt.

Xu Xiangqian was not in a good state, and it was difficult for him to have a calm attitude when it involved Zhao Wuyan. Jiang Wang just wrote a letter and asked Ji Li of Mugu Academy to help take care of it. He also sent a message to Qingya Academy to let Xu Xiangqian's teacher know about Xu Xiangqian.

He wanted to go alone in all kinds of things in the Snow Country.

His identity as a member of Taixu Pavilion was enough to ensure his safety in any place in the world. If someone killed a member of Taixu Pavilion, what would the forces that elected Taixu Pavilion be?

In addition, [Taixu Pavilion] and [Taixu Wuju] were his double guarantee.

And his sword made him dare to face everything in the world.

Hanhua City is an ice city, with gatehouses, halls, houses and streets all carved out of ice. This city is the second largest city in the Snow Country and the largest city in the Snow Country that outsiders can access.

Going west from this city is forbidden.

Among the three cities in the Snow Country that are open to the outside world and exchange what they have with the outside world, Hanhua City is one of them.

The two Taixu Corner Towers built by Taixu Sect in the Snow Country are in another city called "Xueji". That city is as cold and quiet as its name suggests, and there are not many people in the entire city. The flesh and blood of snow beasts sold by the Snow Country are basically stored there.

In addition, there is a Bingyang City that is stationed with a large number of troops, willing to accommodate thugs regardless of the identity of outsiders, and has a more severe atmosphere... These three cities are the only places where people outside the Snow Country can understand the Snow Country.

A few years ago, during the battle for the Winter Emperor's enlightenment, even these three cities were locked up.

Compared with the Xueji City with piles of beast corpses and the Bingyang City with endless fighting, the Hanhua City with a relaxed atmosphere, safety and stability is almost inevitable to prosper.

It is the largest window facing the east of the Snow Country and the largest gateway for people outside the country to communicate with the Snow Country.

So this city is also a mixed bag. There are all kinds of people shuttling around, including wealthy guests, drunkards, killers and tycoons.

Most of the ice houses in Hanhua City are half buried underground, which is necessary to keep warm. The roofs of the ice houses are carved with all kinds of snow beasts, which are strange and unique.

In Jiang Wang's opinion, the biggest role is to avoid making these cellar-like ice houses look like tombs.

Wenxianlou is different. It is an ice sculpture, not inferior to the prosperous restaurants in the Central Region. It uses special formations to ensure the warmth in the restaurant. Naturally, its consumption is also beautiful.

After three glasses of wine and four or five gossips, he did not get any useful information, and the person he wanted to wait for did not wait, but a voice rang in his ears-"Jiang... Master?"

Jiang Wang looked up and saw a man wearing a golden silk dress and a mustache. His face had a kind of commercialism and slickness inherent in a small businessman. He just sat down at the next seat.

Jiang Wang frowned. He felt that the man in front of him was somewhat familiar, but he could not recognize him. For his current cultivation, this is a rare experience.

The small businessman took out an ink ring and put it on his right thumb. He reached out and wiped off the two mustaches. The expression on his face also changed... Obviously, there was not much adjustment, but it seemed like a different person! Elegant temperament, with a bookish air that could not be concealed by golden silk clothes.

He saluted and said gracefully: "I am Nalan Longzhi. I have the honor to fight side by side with Master Jiang in the world of confusion. I wonder if Master Jiang still remembers it?"

Jiang Wang certainly remembered him now.

A mere divine presence could deceive Master Jiang's eyes. Stealing Tianfu is really good at it!

"I can't forget it!" Jiang Wang said: "Please come closer and have a few drinks with me."

Nalan Longzhi was not polite and moved his seat over: "I came to the northwest to get an item. I couldn't refuse the wind and snow. I didn't expect to see an old friend in this bitter cold place. It's a blessing!"

He had a strong sense of boundaries. He expressed the purpose of his coming to the Snow Country, explained that it was just an accidental encounter, and didn't ask about Jiang Wang's behavior.

But there was nothing that couldn't be said about Taixu Pavilion. The purpose of the new member of Taixu Pavilion coming to the Snow Country was almost obvious.

Jiang Wang said: "I am here on behalf of Taixu Pavilion to build the Taixu Fantasy in the Snow Country. Now the world is working hard and humanity is surging. The entire world is missing only the northwest corner, which is in the Snow Country. Everyone in Taixu Pavilion is very distressed."

Nalan Longzhi bowed and said: "I haven't had time to congratulate Master Jiang for joining the Pavilion yet!"

Jiang Wang waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this between us."

He poured wine for Nalan Longzhi himself and said: "The last time I met you in the world of confusion, the battle situation was urgent, and I forgot to ask you something."

Nalan Longzhi used both hands He took the wine glass with his hand: "I should tell you everything I know!"

Jiang Wang said: "I have an old friend named Su Qiyun. I met her in the Senhaiyuan Realm in the past. I haven't heard from her for many years. I wonder how she is doing now?"

Nalan Longzhi was stunned for a moment and sighed: "I didn't expect that Junior Sister Su would have such a fate with Master Jiang."

Of the three people who were together in the Senhaiyuan Realm, Wu Quji is now the leader of the Jinzhen Sect, and Master Jiang is a member of the world-famous Taixu Pavilion. Only Su Qiyun, who was born in the Stealing Heaven Mansion, disappeared in the style of her master.

Jiang Wang recalled the past and sighed: "She also had a friend named 'Xiaoyu', who had an accident in the Senhaiyuan Realm. Fortunately, with the help of Yuheng Xingjun, she saved a little of her true spirit and passed on the method of her true spirit to her. When we parted, she told me that she would do this in her life. Sometimes I think about it and wonder where the old friend is and whether she has achieved her wish."

Nalan Longzhi was silent for a moment and said: "Junior Sister Su is already unfortunate. It was to collect body shaping materials when she was exploring a relic... When we went there, she had collapsed with the relic and shattered in the turbulence of time and space."

Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment.

It has been many years since we last contacted each other, so it is not that deep to say that he has a deep relationship with Su Qiyun. But after all, we met each other, and after all, we fought side by side... It is inevitable to feel nostalgic when the old friend dies.

The world is really impermanent.

He realized again and again that life is a lonely journey, and practitioners always walk alone.

"I'm sorry." Jiang Wang said, "I made you think of sad things again."

"It's okay." Nalan Longzhi said, "There are still people in this world who remember her, and this person is Jiang Wang, I am relieved for her. Although life and death are impermanent, after all, coming and going leave traces."

The understanding of life and death in the Stealing Heaven Mansion is probably very plain.

Although this ancient and mysterious sect has always existed, it has rarely left traces in history.

The Sword Pavilion has been around for 30,000 years, the Blood River Sect has been around for 54,000 years, and no one can tell when the Stealing Heaven Mansion was established. This sect is like Nalan Longzhi in front of him. It will travel around the world and appear in every corner, but it will not cause any waves.

Jiang Wang raised his glass and poured a line on the ground as a sacrifice. "At that time, I felt her determination, and I always thought she would succeed."

Nalan Longzhi said, "Master Jiang, many people in this world have made efforts, but not everyone can succeed. Sometimes we give everything, but we only have the possibility."

Jiang Wang has been in contact with Su Qiyun, and now he has also been in contact with Nalan Longzhi. Both of them are disciples of the Stealing Heaven Mansion. But he still had no idea about the Stealing Heaven Mansion.

What is the purpose of this sect, what is it pursuing, where is its base, what are the main cultivation techniques, how many disciples there are... all are mysteries. People only know that in terms of body movement and concealment, the Stealing Heaven Mansion is unparalleled in the world.

Jiang Wang looked at him: "So what possibilities are you pursuing, Brother Nalan, by giving up everything?"

"How can you sigh that you can't see the deer in the deep forest? It's rare to find a soulmate in the world!" Nalan Longzhi sighed: "I really want to tell Master Jiang my story. Although it is shallow and boring, it is also truly lonely. Unfortunately, I can't."

Jiang Wang said: "Although Jiang is not a gentleman, I will not force you. If it is not suitable to tell, Brother Nalan, you don't have to tell it."

"It's not that it's not suitable, it's that it can't be done." Nalan Longzhi said seriously: "But with the speed of Jiang Zhenren's cultivation, maybe one day he will know."

Jiang Wang thought: "It seems that there are many secrets in the Stealing Heaven Mansion."

"It's just a ray of stolen secrets--"

As Nalan Longzhi spoke, his five fingers holding the ice cup suddenly froze, and his eyebrows were also covered with frost. He showed a regretful expression: "Jiang Zhenren, it seems that we can't chat anymore."

With just this sentence--

He was completely frozen.

Clatter, shattered to the ground!

The broken ice slag reflected a little light in the ice-carved restaurant, but the people around could not see anything. Those who gossiped gossiped, those who drank drank.

Those who continued to drink included Jiang Wang.

"You don't seem surprised."

The woman who spoke sat down opposite Jiang Wang.

She sat upright, with a slender figure, but she seemed to be the center of everything. She had an overly fair and delicate face, with an indissoluble sad color between her eyebrows and eyes, and a fragile beauty.

She seemed to be able to leave at any time, to disappear at any time, and therefore she was even more attractive.

This was Xie Ai, the most beautiful woman in the Snow Country, who had attended the Yellow River Meeting in the 3919th year of the Dao calendar.

Perhaps she should be more respected as the Winter Queen.

The prodigies of the same Yellow River Meeting met again today.

The Winter Queen was no longer Xie Ai, who had failed to enter the top four.

Jiang Wang’s reputation was not limited to the Yellow River champion.

Facing the True Lord in front of him, Jiang Wang acted unusually calm: "There are so many things that are worth surprising me, I don't know which one to be surprised about first."

He opened a new ice cup and poured a glass of wine for Xie Ai, saying calmly: "Should I be surprised that you suddenly took action, or should I be surprised that Nalan Longzhi could escape from your hands?"

Xie Ai was surprised: "You can actually see that he has escaped, you are worthy of being our Yellow River leader. It has only been a few years since he became a True Lord? You can't take it lightly."

Jiang Wang said: "There are no such things as easy to take for granted in the world, let alone those who spread the Dao. In front of the Winter Emperor, I really have nothing to be proud of."

Nalan Longzhi, who is in the state of God, can't save his life under the hands of the Winter Emperor.

So Nalan Longzhi is likely to be a Daoist strength.

Jiang Wang is not surprised that Nalan Longzhi can hide from him. It is normal for the Tianfu to be so good at hiding and so mysterious that some special means are normal.

But Nalan Longzhi had participated in the Dragon Palace Banquet, although he was very low-key throughout the whole process and did not have any conspicuous performance - just like he was well-behaved in the battlefield of the maze.

He could even deceive the Longhe Dragon King?

Even if the Dragon King was just an illusion there, it was an illusion that transcended existence!

It is worthy of being the Stealing Heaven Mansion, the most mysterious sect in the world, like a long shadow in the night, looming and incomprehensible everywhere.

In fact, Jiang Wang still didn't know how old Nalan Longzhi was and what he looked like. Today was the first time they sat down to chat, and it completely overturned the impression they had established in the past two meetings. He couldn't confirm everything he saw and heard.

The Winter Emperor didn't take the glass of wine, but just looked at Jiang Wang: "He stole my things, and happened to sit here and drink with you. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

It turned out that Nalan Longzhi said he wanted to come to the northwest to pick up an object, and this was how he took it...

Isn't the Stealing Heaven Mansion not a thief?

Jiang Wang didn't say anything, nor did he show any expression, he just reached out to take his Taixu Magatama.

He didn't need to explain, because he was a member of the Taixu Pavilion.

All parties agreed, the whole world agreed; it was passed through the six directions, there was no obstacle in the world; looking at the world, there were only nine people.

It would be fine if he didn't want an explanation, but he still explained?

But he took it out from beginning to end and paused.

...Huh?

Where's my jade? !
