"Master..."
“Your master in your past life and I are probably not the same person.” Wen Jingge looked at the thunderstorm in the sky, her hands hidden under the quilt slowly clenching. Just a moment ago, she seemed to have understood some strange technique without being taught: “So no matter what you say, I won’t take it to heart.”
Liang Si didn't quite understand Wen Jingge's words, and just assumed she was angry. And she certainly had the right to be angry. If it weren't for him in her past life, her master's plan would have been completed long ago!
"My master was probably verifying something in his past life, so... I, his disciple, am nothing in his eyes. It is precisely because of his disdain that I am looked down upon by many people..."
Lightning illuminated his face, and the swirling snowflakes in the wind blinded him. This strange sight was rare throughout the entire Xuanmen Continent, yet it had actually occurred.
It is said that unusual celestial phenomena indicate either disaster or good fortune.
If anyone were to say this is a blessing, Wen Jingge would be the first to disagree. After all, she is a villain, and there are three other villains sitting here.
"Cough, cough cough cough." A liver-purple hand crawled out of the snow. Bai Ru was staring blankly into the distance when she heard the sound and reflexively stepped on it.
"It hurts! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
The snowy terrain twisted and turned, and a person crawled out of the snow as tall as a person. Waves of white snowflakes surged up one after another. It took Qu Xiu a while to regain his footing. "You, you, you, you stepped on me."
Bai Ru was stunned for a second, then recognized who this person was in another second.
Qu Xiu had white hair, white eyebrows, white eyelashes, white lips, and even his clothes were white.
Bai Ru simply couldn't quickly connect the person in front of her with her mountain lord.
Bai Ru awkwardly shrank her feet. "Mountain Lord, didn't you say you would come out after Immortal Master Wen left Qinghe Mountain?"
"Cough cough cough!" Qu Xiu felt that the air he exhaled was full of snowflakes and the air in his lungs was cold. He helplessly waved away the snowflakes in front of him, which were as thick as a city wall.
This is too weird.
At first, he knew that Xuehua and Wen Jinge were closely connected, but he never expected that Wen Jinge was such a person who did not know how to restrain himself.
He stared in astonishment at the white expanse of night and demanded, "What is Wen Jingge trying to do?"
boom!
"My goodness! Who's undergoing tribulation?" Qu Xiu was so startled by the thunder that he fell into the snow. The snowflakes were so thick that he couldn't see where he was going, and he stumbled along with Bai Ru, who was trying to help him.
"It seems..." Bai Ru brushed the snow off her body and said somewhat awkwardly, "It seems to be Master Wen's residence."
Could it be that the strange phenomenon was caused by the ancient demon god beside Master Wen? Is he undergoing tribulation?
boom!
Another thunderclap rang out, and in the instant the light came on, Qu Xiu finally saw the roof that had been cut in half. "Heavens! She, she's going to destroy my Qinghe Mountain!"
Hurry! Hurry, hurry, go find the elders to discuss matters. Don't let the demon's shadow blow up the whole mountain before you even touch her.
This isn't a tribulation! It's clearly a salvation for me!
The blizzard was too heavy. Bai Ru had never seen such heavy snow before, nor had she ever walked in the snow. Qu Xiu was the same. As they walked, they disappeared into the snow. In their panic, they never thought of flying on a sword.
boom!
As soon as Qu Xiu finished speaking, an even stronger gust of wind swept over, a gale rising from the ground and whipping up the thick snow, which then swept forward.
In an instant, all the snow gathered towards that one spot, and at that moment the building was about to collapse.
Qu Xiu glared angrily at the terrified Bai Ru, and seeing that he still didn't move, he became even angrier. He grabbed Bai Ru by the back of his collar and flew into the air: "Run! What are you standing there for?"
“I, I…” Bai Ru pointed behind her, “like, like a flood.”
He imagined snow to be poetic, not destructive as it is today.
"Useless!" Qu Xiu led him forward, but the snow waves were too large to discern direction, so he could only risk heading towards the only distinctive spot—
That is, the place where the wind and snow went—
Where Wen Jinge is located.
"Mountain Lord, you can't go that way!"
It's no wonder Bai Ru was afraid. All the evidence pointed to something terrible happening there, something that would most likely mean certain death.
"Wen Jingge will protect you there, but you'll surely die outside. Besides! Those disciples! They'll probably make her go in and get them out! Very well! The Xuan Yun Sect is bullying people again! They're just good at scheming!"
Thinking of this, Qu Xiu felt even more upset. Wen Jingge was like a heartless man who abandoned his wife and children to pass the imperial examination and never returned home. It was as if he, as the original wife, was about to go to the capital to file a complaint with the emperor.
"Tell the disciple to go in a day earlier! Anything would have been fine! Why didn't you tell me?! I've been made a fool of, buried in the snow for so long!"
He spoke while panting, and several times he was almost at Wen Jinge's place, but was pulled back by gusts of eerie wind, as if there was some strange magnetic field around the house.
"Mountain Lord! Please speak slowly! Speaking like this is tiring! I'm almost out of breath! I can't breathe anymore!"
Bai Ru was also extremely anxious. He had already adapted to making a living in the snow and had begun to think about how today's trial should have been brought forward.
"You mean! This is what Master Wen calculated? But what she predicted before wasn't that there were demons causing trouble in the illusion? How come it seems like our Qinghe Mountain has welcomed the Snow Maiden?"
Qu Xiu glanced at the collapsed house, which wasn't too far away. The storm had stopped, but there was still lightning and thunder in the sky, as if some kind of storm was about to break out again.
"Did you bring a blanket with you?" Qu Xiu was shivering from the cold; even his Xuan Qi couldn't keep him warm in this freezing weather.
After today's events, there will likely be many more skeletons on Qinghe Mountain.
Wen Jingge was eager to know about the past, probably because she wanted to change the current situation where the Xuanmen sect was being targeted by both the gods and demons in the heavens. Unfortunately, his knowledge was about the same as Wen Jingge's, so he couldn't help her.
"It's only summer, Mountain Lord. This is the first winter that Qinghe Mountain has ever experienced."
"Now that the snow has stopped, take your men to check the casualties in various places. Send the wounded to the secret room to recuperate. Leave the rest of the men who are at least sixth rank outside. It looks like we're in for a tough battle."
"You mean the demon race?"
Qu Xiu wiped the snow off his face. The snow melted into water as it heated up, and a layer of ice crystals had already formed on his face, making it difficult to make any expressions.
Looking at this bizarre scene that resembled the end of the world, he sighed, "The monk under the moon once said that wherever she is, there will be war. Whether she is passive or active, victory will be achieved in her hands, but the price is not something ordinary people can bear."
"This is..."
"I don't know." Qu rubbed his face, his gaze fixed on the lightning that was striking down. "It's true that she woke up."
