Chapter 1282 Mr. Hao's Surprise
The Silent Snowfield is sparsely populated. Apart from the Ice Palace and Silent Ridge, which are rooted here, almost no outsiders can be seen. The busiest time here is when the Mysterious Ice Prison is opened. Now, it is at least 20 to 30 years before the next opening of the Prison, but a large team still appeared on the snowy plain, and they kept moving towards the depths of the snowfield with panic.
These are the survivors of Zhi Gelin. The sea of blood formed by a dozen drops of blood beads has shortened the evacuation time by half. There are more than 100,000 people in the underground palace, and only a few thousand people can escape.
Relatively speaking, these thousands of people are also the top elites of Zhi Gelin. Except for a few cases like Du Miaomiao's adoptive mother, the rest are all masters. Although it is cruel to say so, the removal of those burdens has indeed greatly accelerated the speed of these people's progress. Of course, the hundreds of pseudo-immortals chasing behind them are another important reason that cannot be ignored.
Except for a little panic in their eyes, almost everyone has a blank expression. No one would be in a good mood when their relatives and friends died tragically in the underground palace. What's more sad is that they didn't even have time to be sad.
No one wanted to recall the scene at that time, especially the last group of people who evacuated. Seeing with their own eyes that big living people threw themselves into the blood pool with fanatic faces, just like a snowman thrown into boiling water and disappeared in the blink of an eye, the horrible scene was entangled in their minds like a nightmare and lingered.
Some people's Taoism hearts even wavered, and a decadent voice kept echoing in their minds, persuading them to give up. It's not that their Taoism hearts are not firm enough, but that the methods of the immortal cultivators have far exceeded the scope of what they can accept.
For the power that can hurt them but cannot be understood or resisted, they have only deep powerlessness. Although reason repeatedly reminds them that there is hope, they can't see tomorrow at all in their hearts. The future is full of coldness and darkness in their eyes.
The morale is low, Mu Tong saw it, but he was powerless.
Although Hong Yi's appearance gave them hope to fight against the immortals, and Xuanbinghanyu was more likely to become a paradise to protect them, what was the use of saying these words? In this situation, how many people would believe these empty talks that they themselves were not very sure of?
Fortunately, the immortals were chasing them like hounds, forcing these people to work together and move forward desperately, but even so, some people secretly left from time to time. Mu Tong saw it, but did not stop it. Everyone has their own ambitions, and it might be a good thing for the remaining people to get rid of these dissidents.
Those who left might die or survive, but in any case, the chance of survival of those people could not be higher than that of those who stayed.
In addition, those people also lost an opportunity, an opportunity for revenge.
Hao Erye had already told him about Li Chuyi's plan. If it succeeded, they would usher in the first victory since the arrival of the immortal disaster. It was not the so-called "victory" filled with human lives in the retreat of Dayan, but a real counterattack.
In silence, the group finally arrived at the maze formation outside the cold prison, and the number of people in the team was reduced to less than 5,000. Among the remaining people, there were almost no cultivators outside the three caves. Without the constraints of the sect rules and seeing no hope of survival from Mu Tong and others, most of the casual cultivators chose to leave.
"Okay, this is the only level left. Once we get in, the rest will be easy."
Rubbing his hands, Li Chuyi looked from Ye Zhichen to Mu Tong and finally looked at him: "Come on, you guys solve this maze, and I'll do the rest!"
A group of masters looked a little embarrassed. The maze formation in front of them could even trap the Ascension Period to death. Except for the time when the cold prison was opened, anyone who entered would be lost. It is not impossible to break the formation with brute force, but it takes a long time and is likely to cause a counterattack from the eight guardians. Let's not talk about the possibility later. In terms of time alone, hundreds of immortal cultivators will arrive soon, and there is no sufficient time for them to break the formation.
Involuntarily, everyone looked at Lu Gu.
Among these people, Lu Gu has the highest cultivation and the most experience. In addition, she has all kinds of magical poisonous insects and poisons. If anyone can lead the way in the maze, it must be her.
Frowning and sighing softly, Lu Gu was about to speak, but Mr. Hao smiled and said, "I will solve this maze."
In an instant, everyone looked at him, wondering where his confidence came from.
Mr. Hao did not explain, took out a sound transmission jade talisman and closed his eyes for a moment, and then waited in silence.
Not long after, a sound of breaking through the air came, and turning around, I saw a white light approaching rapidly. There was only one person coming, and it looked like a woman. When they saw her face clearly after approaching, many people were stunned, and Fatty Hao opened his mouth for a long time.
"Qu... Qu Dongmei?!"
Amidst the exclamation of Fatty Hao, Qu Dongmei floated to the ground, glanced at him lightly and ignored him, turned around and saluted Mu Tong and others one by one. When it came to Lu Heng, he was even more serious, just like treating his own head. He didn't lose his courtesy at all because of the other party's head status. This made Lu Heng's heart warm, and he hurriedly returned the greeting.
When he saw Li Chuyi at last, Qu Dongmei's eyes flashed with a trace of fear. She calmed down and nodded slightly, and said softly: "Friend Li, long time no see."
"I know you?"
Li Chuyi asked in confusion, and then poked Xiao Erhei: "Heizi, she is not my wife too, right?"
Shivering slightly, Xiao Erhei almost laughed out loud. From the corner of his eye, he saw Hao Youxiao looking over meaningfully. He quickly suppressed his smile and shook his head seriously: "No, absolutely not!"
"Of course not. She is the one I love. Little Chu Yi, are you trying to take away my love?" Next to him, Mr. Hao interrupted, his warm smile was so scary to Li Chu, and even more scary. Or what he said.
The one you like?
The little fat man was shocked. He always thought that Mr. Hao was a fairy who did not like the fireworks of the world. But today, the fairy actually went to the ground?
Not only him, but others were also stunned. The fat man's jaw almost dropped. Hao Dali, the father, stared hard and clasped his ears, feeling that he had heard something wrong.
Qu Dongmei's cold and delicate face couldn't help but blush. She glanced at Mr. Hao with a hint of annoyance, as if she blamed him for talking too much, but she didn't refute.
Now everyone's eyes became even weirder. Hao Dali almost dug his ears out, while Hao Hongwei laughed and hugged his second brother's shoulders.
"Tell me, what's going on? How did you two hook up?"
Glancing at the big hand on his shoulder, Mr. Hao looked at his fourth brother with an unchanging smile, "I didn't hear you clearly, can you say it again?"
The smile suddenly froze on his face, especially when Qu Dongmei's cold, knife-like gaze glanced over. Hao Hongwei's face rippled, and he laughed dryly a few times and quickly changed his words: "I mean, second brother, why are you following me?" Is your sister-in-law okay?"
"Idiot! Why did I give birth to such a stupid boy like you! Is now the time to talk about these things? Get out of here!"
He jumped and hit Hao Hongwei on the head, grabbed his neck and threw him behind him. Ignoring his fourth son who screamed in pain, Hao Dali laughed and slapped his second son on the shoulder.
"Very good, you are much more promising than your elder brother! No wonder your mother always told me that pretty boys are the easiest to surprise people. You really didn't disappoint me, hahahahaha!!!"
Everyone broke into cold sweat immediately. They looked at Hao Dali and couldn't laugh or cry. Is there any father who talks to his son like this?
Hao Dali had no idea. After speaking, he looked at Qu Dongmei up and down, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, this girl has the looks of my Hao family. I recognize your daughter-in-law! From now on, she will be one of my own family. If you want anything, just say it. I will go to your master to propose marriage later when I have a chance. It is best if your master can Please come out, the Ice Palace...hehe, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out if I go in."
In the first half of the sentence, Qu Dongmei's face was still blushing, but in the second half of the sentence, she turned pale, with suppressed sadness in her eyes.
"My master is dead, and Ice Palace...is also dead."
"Qu Xiangu is dead?!"
Hao Dali was shocked, and others were also shocked. In recent days, it has been difficult to get news due to the chaos of war. Unexpectedly, such a big change happened to the seemingly safe Ice Palace.
Nodding sadly, Qu Dongmei looked at Mr. Hao: "Is everything you said true?"
With a rare hint of pity, Mr. Hao nodded seriously: "Of course, have I ever lied to you since we met?"
"How sure are you?" Qu Dongmei asked again.
"You have to ask him about this." Mr. Hao looked at Li Chuyi.
I don’t know what the two of them were talking about, but Li Chuyi guessed a little bit. Hearing the words, he said: "It's okay to repel them, but leaving them behind... I think it's sixty to seventy percent, it's hard to say."
"That's enough!" Qu Dongmei's eyes filled with deep hatred, "The immortal cultivator who is chasing you is known as the Blood Boy. He is extremely powerful and has great prestige in the immortal world. He has a lackey named Mr. Qionghua. , is also extremely powerful, surpassing the immortal ancestors of my Ice Palace, and he also came with me this time, I want him to die!"
"Okay, but I don't know him!" Li Chuyi said awkwardly.
"I know him, I know him even when he turned into ashes!"
Qu Dongmei gritted her teeth, unable to control her hatred and murderous intention, and everyone who heard it was frightened. Everyone exchanged looks and guessed something, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
It seems that her master, Qu Xiangu, probably died at the hands of this person.
"Okay, follow me later and point it out to me when you see that person. But there is a question at hand. Can you decipher this maze?"
Li Chuyi asked, and others also raised their concerns. Mr. Hao called Qu Dongmei over, obviously not to bring his wife to meet her parents.
"I can't break it, but I can get you in!"
Looking at everyone's surprised looks, Qu Dongmei, who regained her composure, said softly: "Ice Palace has been training me as the next palace master. I have already learned the pathfinding method of this maze, so please don't worry. But I can only take you here. There is nothing I can do about the eight defenders inside. Under normal circumstances, they will not allow us to stay. I hope you have a solution. "
"No problem, I'll handle this."
Touching Xiao Erhei, Li Chuyi smiled coldly.
"If you don't agree, you'll die. I hope they understand!"
