Three of them were wearing similar clothes, and they should be from the same force, but the last one was different.
Zhou Qing didn't recognize him, but his expression changed when he looked at Jiang Ling and his brother. He must have recognized the identity of the person.
"Jiang Ling, Jiang Mi, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Among the visitors, a tall and strong young man looked at the three people.
"It turned out to be Xie Nian. I was wondering who was coming."
Jiang Mi smiled and looked at the fourth person who was surrounded in the middle.
"Brother Hu is here too."
Zhou Qing's heart moved slightly. Since their surname was Xie, he probably knew the origins of this group of people.
There are two major families and a heavenly-level martial arts gym in Bingyuan County. These three forces dominate this territory, and each of them has masters of the Huangquan Realm or the Chedi Realm in charge.
Two of them are Jiang and Xie.
As the overlords of Icefield County, it is natural for these two families to have conflicts.
He was surrounded by people from the Xie family like the moon surrounded by stars, and Jiang Mi also knew him. He was probably from the Jibing Sect, a first-class force in Hanzhou.
The Xie family itself has close ties with the Jibing Sect.
"Brother Jiang."
The young man surnamed Hu nodded at Jiang Mi, then looked at Zhou Qing with flickering eyes.
"Is this fellow Taoist from Xuandu Temple as well? Brother Jiang, would you like to introduce him to me?"
"This is Jiang's junior fellow apprentice, Kunlun Mountain Master Zhou Qing."
"Junior Brother Zhou, this is the true disciple of Jibing Sect, Fellow Daoist Hu Fei."
Zhou Qing nodded, "Friend Hu."
Hu Fei smiled and said, "It turns out to be the number one on the Dao Ranking, Fire Dragon Zhou Qing. I have heard of him for a long time."
“…”
I will change this bird title sooner or later! Although Zhou Qing has been promoted to the Manifestation of Saint, it is not yet time for the new Dragon and Tiger List to be released, so he is still the number one on the Dao List and has not been removed from the list.
"We sensed that there was quite a bit of movement here, so we came over to take a look."
Xie Nian looked around the scene and said, "I'm afraid the three Taoists have made quite a lot."
Jiang Mi shook his head, "There is nothing to gain. I just encountered two vicious beasts blocking the way and had to take action."
The two sides chatted casually for a few more sentences, then separated and went in different directions.
While walking, Zhou Qing turned his head to look at Hu Fei and his group and said, "I thought there might be some conflict or fight."
"They don't know what we got, so they won't easily start a fight." Jiang Mi smiled and said:
"Although the relationship between the Jiang family and the Xie family is not good, if they want to take action against us, then they must be prepared to stay here."
"After all, the three of us are not people who can be bullied by others. Now that we haven't even seen the shadow of Tianxia Xuequan, it would be a bit too much to give up our lives here."
Jiang Ling also said: "Although there are four people on the opposite side, they are not enough to crush the three of us."
"That's true."
Zhou Qing nodded. The fundamental purpose of everyone coming here was to get the Tianxia Snow Spring or other benefits, not to come here specifically to kill.
If they found some minor character got the treasure, they could rob him, but Zhou Qing and the other two were obviously not the kind of people who could be dealt with.
When people with strength and background meet in such a place, they generally choose to restrain themselves.
Of course, this is before absolutely attractive benefits emerge.
"Then Hu Fei became the True Disciple of Jibing Sect earlier than I did. He should be in the middle stage of Manifestation of Sainthood now."
Jiang Mi revealed Hu Fei's detailed information.
"He has practiced the Ice Divine Canon, the inherited root method of the Ice Sect, and the upper-level Heavenly Dao Technique, Ice Heaven and Frost Dao Qi. This Heavenly Dao Technique is very good, especially in an environment like the Sunset Ice Field. It can be blessed and its power is greatly increased. He is a very difficult opponent."
"But he is not an innate alien soul. This time he must be coming for the Tianxia Snow Spring."
“Although the three people from the Xie family are not true disciples of the Jibing Sect, their realms are very high. They are basically at the late stage of Manifestation of Sainthood or the great stage of Washing Marrow.”
Zhou Qing sighed when he heard this.
“There are so many experts here.”
Fortunately, I am also an expert.
…
The master is being hunted down.
A huge ice bear was roaring and running wildly on the earth. The mountains and the earth were rumbling and shaking as if they were about to crack apart.
This ice bear was so powerful that it could tear apart the sky and split the earth. Wherever it passed, it suppressed the blizzard. Its might was unmatched.
It was actually a terrifying beast in the True Blood Realm that had already developed intelligence.
In front of the Ice Bear Beast Lord, the Tianxing Shenzhou had already burst out at its maximum speed at the current stage and was fleeing madly.
After a long journey, Zhou Qing and his friends provoked a beast king, and then the current scene happened.
Originally, you should try not to fly in Luoxia Ice Field, but if you don't fly, you will be eaten, so why should you care about these things?
And at this moment, the Beast Lord roared to the heaven and earth with unparalleled power. The disguised deterrence drove away other dangers and created space for flying.
However, even though they were being hunted by the Beast Lord, after experiencing the initial fear, the three of them gradually calmed down.
There was an angry beast king behind me, but I was not panicked at all because it could not run as fast as me.
The power of Zhou Qing and the other two continuously poured into the Tianxing Shenzhou. The vitality crystals carried by the Jiang siblings also burned in large quantities at this moment, causing the Tianxing Shenzhou to burst out with a cultivation speed that was not at the level of Xiansheng Xisui.
This is the advantage of this type of flying artifact. If the internal realm is not enough, additional energy can be used to make up for it.
Looking at the Ice Bear Beast Lord who was gradually being left behind, Jiang Ling smiled and couldn't help but sigh.
"As expected of a mid-grade flying artifact, it is indeed extraordinary. I'm afraid that some flying beasts are not as fast as this divine ship."
"Junior Brother Zhou, I'm lucky to have you this time."
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "No, if it weren't for your Yuan Qi Crystals, the Tianxing Shenzhou wouldn't be able to move so fast."
To burst out at a speed faster than that of a beast king, this vitality crystal is consumed like water.
However, forces like the Jiang family generally control the Yuanjing mines, and unlike the Xuandu Temple, they do not only give the amount needed for cultivation to their true disciples.
Outside, Yuanqi Crystals also cost money. As the daughter of the patriarch and only one step away from the Yin Shen realm, Jiang Ling obviously would not be short of money.
This wave is a mutual achievement, Zhou Qing provides the artifact and Jiang Ling provides the energy.
In fact, Zhou Qing is capable of dealing with this Beast Lord. Items like the Frost Giant Talisman and some other treasures on him can all pose a danger to the Lord, so it is not impossible to defeat and kill him directly.
But it would be a waste to use these treasures on a native beast of the ice field when there is a high probability that it can escape.
Finally, after an angry roar, the Ice Bear Beast King stopped where he was, pounding the ground to show his anger, but he could only watch the Tianxing Shenzhou go away.
I can’t catch up, I really can’t catch up. We are despicable human beings who can only rely on external things!
This is the convenience of human weapons.
After making sure that the Ice Bear Beast Lord had given up, Zhou Qing and the other two immediately landed on the ground, put away the Tianxing Shenzhou, and quickly moved to avoid becoming the target of other terrifying beings.
I ran a long way before I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ha, stupid bear, I thought it would chase him to the end."
Jiang Ling smiled widely and seemed to be in high spirits.
Zhou Qing discovered while running away just now that this person seemed to like exciting things. The more dangerous and intense the situation was, the happier he was.
No wonder he chose to enter the ice field during the riot period to seek an opportunity to break through. It turns out that this is his personality.
"It's worth it after being chased for so long." Jiang Mi took out a plant half an arm high with five ice-blue fruits hanging on it. The joy on his face was very obvious.
"Blue Frost Fruit is an essential ingredient for refining some divine pills. It can even be used as a supplementary ingredient in a few earth pills. It can also be used in some ice-based techniques."
This is why they provoked the Ice Bear Beast King. The treasure was really tempting, and the blue frost fruit was too precious.
This thing was not guarded by the Ice Bear Beast King, but was bred in the riot environment. However, when Zhou Qing and his friends discovered it, the ice beast also discovered it.
Since the three people got it first, Ice Bear would naturally not give up.
"Junior Brother Zhou, you deserve the credit for obtaining the Blue Frost Fruit and escaping safely this time..."
As he spoke, Jiang Mi directly handed Zhou Qing two blue frost fruits.
There are five fruits among three of them. If they are distributed equally, one of them is bound to get only one.
Jiang Mi handed two more to Jiang Ling, who also made a significant contribution just now.
That’s right, even if they are siblings, they are still different individuals when distributing treasures at this time.
Zhou Qing actually wanted to decline. Jiang Mi was bringing him into the ice field, and they would work together to fight for the Snow Spring later. He had no objection to Zhou Qing taking less of the treasure, the Blue Frost Fruit.
Only Tianxia Snow Spring is what he values most.
However, after he declined, Jiang Mi still insisted on doing so, and no matter what he said, it was useless to refuse.
After resting for a while, the three of them set off again.
"We are almost at the area where the Tianxia Snow Spring will be born. At least in the past few times, the Snow Spring has appeared not far ahead."
Jiang Ling said: "I just don't know whether the snow spring has been bred this time."
They had been in the ice field for quite some time. They had set out early in the morning and it was already dusk.
This extremely violent blizzard greatly hindered their efficiency of advance.
During this day, Zhou Qing and his companions also encountered three or five groups of people. Some of them came from extraordinary backgrounds and were peerless geniuses, while others were at an extremely high level and were a team composed entirely of top masters at the Manifestation of the Sage and Washing of the Marrow Realm.
However, everyone was very restrained and separated after simple contact or without any contact, without engaging in a fight.
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
The combination of Xuan Du Zhenchuan and the Jiang family, there are still not many people in this land who would just take action without caring about anything.
After meeting the three people, others behaved more politely. Disciples from first-rate forces would not act bossy and condescending in front of the three people. Compared with the people from Tianlongmen at that time, they were completely two extremes.
Zhou Qing finally enjoyed the treatment of a disciple of a major sect.
After another hour, the sky suddenly changed. In the beautiful sky, which was already full of rosy clouds, the clouds gathered together and formed a vortex shape.
The vortex of sky clouds shone down and landed at a place, where a blizzard tornado suddenly spread across the sky, connecting and merging with the vortex of sky clouds.
"The clouds of the sky gather, and a snowstorm swirls!"
Jiang Mi and Jiang Ling said in unison, with delight on their faces.
Zhou Qing's heart was also excited. He now had some understanding of this place. This astronomical phenomenon represented that a Tianxia Snow Spring was being born!
"Let's go over there."
The three of them made a prompt decision and rushed directly to the place where the Tianxia Snow Tornado fell. On the way, such a celestial phenomenon appeared again several times.
Every celestial phenomenon also means the appearance of a snowy spring.
Zhou Qing and the other two did not stare at the first place where the Tianxia Snow Spring appeared, but found a snow spring close to them and went there.
There is no difference in the effects of the Tianxia Snow Spring produced at different times, so it is the same wherever you go.
They accelerated all the way, and the whirlpool of sky clouds and the snow and wind tornado appeared in front of Zhou Qing and the others.
The rosy glow and the snowstorm merged completely together, rising from the ground to the sky, like a pillar standing in the sky.
It was so magnificent and magical that Zhou Qing even felt like it was a passage to heaven.
You can vaguely see two colorful snow springs at the bottom of the Tianxia Snow Pillar, one large and one small. The spring water is constantly tumbling, as if it is boiling at a high temperature.
This is the Tianxia Snow Spring! Threads of colorful power fell from the Tianxia Snow Pillar and entered the two snow springs.
Near the Tianxia Snow Pillar, in addition to Zhou Qing and the other two, there were other people who had arrived. Including them, there were a total of six groups of people.
One of the groups of people turned out to be the four people including Hu Fei from the Jibing Sect whom they met at the very beginning. It can only be said that the Jiang and Xie families have quite a connection.
There were two other groups of people who looked very strange in appearance. Their skin was so white, appearing like snow, and you could even see the blood vessels beneath the skin.
The blood in the blood vessels was actually a different color, not bright red, but ice blue.
The pupils of their eyes are also snow-white, while the rest of their eyes are ice blue.
The hair of those two groups was either snow-white or ice-blue, and they were all tall and slender with decent looks. Not to mention the ugly ones, even those with ordinary looks were nowhere to be seen.
After seeing him, Zhou Qing recognized their origins at the first moment.
The Snow Clan in the Ten Thousand Mountains!
The Snow Tribe is also divided into many tribes. I don’t know which tribe these two teams belong to, but they are all humanoid creatures.
The biggest characteristic of the Snow Clan is their different colored blood.
Whether it is the humanoid branch of the Snow Clan or the non-humanoid ones, the color of their blood is either snow-white blood, ice-blue blood, or a mixture of the two colors.
The eyes and other parts are not the main features, and some members of the Snow Tribe look exactly the same as humans.
The different colored blood is regarded by the Snow Clan as the glory of their ancestors.
The Snow Clan can accept offspring born from intermarriage with other races, whether they are humans or demons. From this point of view, the Snow Clan is more open-minded than the Demon Clan.
But the prerequisite is that these mixed-race descendants born from intermarriage also have foreign blood like the Snow Clan in their bodies. Only in this way will they be accepted as members of the Snow Clan.
If the offspring born from intermarriage with outsiders are not of Snow Clan blood, their Snow Clan identity will not be recognized.
In the culture of the Snow Tribe, the power of the ancestors flows in the alien blood. Only by inheriting the alien blood can one inherit the glory of the ancestors and be recognized as a descendant by the ancestors.
I don’t know if it’s because of the strange blood of the Snow Clan, but the humanoid branch of the Snow Clan, from the perspective of human aesthetics, are basically above average in appearance, at least they are handsome or pretty.
Zhou Qingduo looked at the two teams of Snow Clan soldiers for a few more times, then looked away.
The other group of people were filled with demonic aura. Although they maintained their human form and did not have any alien features, Zhou Qing knew they were demons without having to look too closely.
The people in the last team were all tall and had their hair braided into long, thin braids.
The most eye-catching thing is the rough and mysterious lines on their exposed skin.
Its aura is different from that of the humans, snow creatures, and demon creatures present.
Barbarians...
Zhou Qing spoke in code and recognized the identity of this last team.
The masters of the northern prairie, a barbarian tribe that has been in constant conflict and even small-scale war with humans.
While Zhou Qing was observing the other five teams, the others were naturally also observing them.
In the barbarian team, a young man with black lines all over his face stared at Jiang Mi and said in a deep voice: "People from Xuandu Temple, you can be seen everywhere, you are really haunting."
The attitude of the barbarians was much worse than that of the human fellows Zhou Qing and his friends had met before.
In the matter of blocking the barbarians from moving south and participating in the human-barbarian war, Xuandu Temple has always been extremely active and can be said to be standing on the front line.
From ancient times to the present, the disciples of Xuandu Temple have brought countless troubles and losses to the barbarians.
So it is normal for the barbarians to be unhappy with and dislike the people of Xuandu Temple.
This is not the treatment enjoyed by Xuandu Temple alone. Similarly, the Eastern Zhou Saints Academy is also deeply hated by the barbarians.
Of course, although they feel disgusted, it does not mean that the barbarians despise Xuandu Temple. Not only do they not despise it, but they attach great importance to it.
Now this barbarian team is very unhappy with Zhou Qing and his team. They are not polite at all in their words, but they are really afraid of them in their hearts.
It is a kind of mentality of being unhappy with Xuandu Temple, but being unable to defeat Xuandu Temple, and also being afraid of its strength.
This makes people even more upset.
"You barbarians didn't stay in the grasslands, but came to our human territory. Now you dare to make a fuss?"
Zhou Qing glanced at the barbarians and said coldly:
"You don't know what's good for you."
The barbarians hate Xuandu Temple, but don’t the disciples of Xuandu Temple and even the human race hate the barbarians as well?
There is absolutely no need to be humble and polite when facing such a foreign race.
The more extraordinary the other party's background and the more amazing their talent, the more we should treat them with disrespect.
People from various major forces use their face-saving abilities to save face for each other, but this only applies to the human race.
If it was the Snow Tribe, it would be fine, as the two tribes are basically at peace. But facing the Barbarians, a foreign tribe with whom we have such bad relations, it would be good enough if we didn't slap them twice, let alone give them face.
What, you want to be a soft bone, right? A spiritual barbarian, right?
"Who are you? How dare you be so arrogant?"
The barbarian youth was furious, "Do you know that you are provoking the great Tiantu tribe?"
"Ignorant human, the Tiantu tribe will use your head to wash away your blasphemy!"
"What Tiantu tribe? I've never heard of it." Zhou Qing raised his voice a little, solemnly.
"I am the true disciple of Xuandu, the master of Kunlun Mountain, Zhou Qing. What do you think of me?"
“…”
The barbarians were silent for a moment. They came here from the grassland because of the Luoxia Icefield riot. They didn't know Zhou Qing before, they only knew Jiang Mi. After all, Jiang Mi had been the true disciple of Xuandu for some time.
I didn’t expect that it was another true disciple of Xuan Du.
This makes it seem like what they said just now was a bit of boasting...
