According to legend, there are three major races on this continent: humans, demons, and monsters. Among them, humans occupy the best land on this continent. The weather here is pleasant all year round, suitable for farming and grazing, and it is a rare paradise on earth.
The demons lived in the primeval forests to the west, which were damp and hot, with swamps everywhere. Dense vegetation covered the ground, giving off a rotten smell. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, creating mottled light and shadows, but it could not dispel the gloom here.
The worst off are the demons, who live in the extreme cold land in the north. It is covered with snow all year round, with towering mountains and icy winds that pierce the bones. It is freezing cold, with no sun all year round, and the demons have a hard time surviving in this icy land. Their houses are simple, made of ice and animal skins, and can barely keep out the cold.
Due to the harsh environment and scarce resources, the demons have always coveted the human territory. So they began to win over the monsters and tried to invade the human territory together. This move triggered a tragic war between the three tribes a hundred years ago.
On the top of a snowy mountain, the wind was cold and the snow was white. Suddenly, a faint firelight lit up, as if it was the entrance of a mysterious cave. Inside the cave, a man in a black robe slowly sat on the throne. His face was hideous, and there was a long scar on his right cheek, extending from the corner of his eye to his chin, as if it was left by a sharp sword. The skin around the scar was slightly twisted, which made him look even more hideous.
There were totem-like patterns on his forehead. These patterns were complex and mysterious, and seemed to contain some powerful power. His eyes were like burning flames, revealing endless ambition and murderous intent. His lips were tightly closed, slightly raised, revealing a hint of disdain and ridicule. He was the leader of the demons, the initiator of the war between the three tribes - the Night King.
The Night King's black robe fluttered in the cold wind, and his body exuded a powerful aura that seemed to be able to crush everything. His fingers were slender and powerful, tightly grasping the armrests of the throne, as if announcing his dominance to the whole world.
Suddenly, a black mist rushed in from the cave entrance like a whirlwind, slowly fell to the ground, as if controlled by a mysterious force, and gradually transformed into a human figure. This person was the demon clan's strategist - Ying.
He knelt on one knee with an elegant and respectful movement, bowed his head and said: "Greetings, my king!" His voice was low and firm, as if it contained endless loyalty.
The Night King on the throne heard the noise and slightly opened his eyes. Those eyes were like a deep cold pond, full of heart-pounding murderous intent. His voice was low and magnetic, as if it came from the underworld: "How is it going?"
"Nangong Luoyu has successfully advanced to the Refining Void Realm, and the target person has been devoured by her." There was a hint of pride in Ying's tone, and he seemed quite satisfied with the result.
The Night King nodded with satisfaction, a cruel smile on his lips: "Very good! This time I will make humans taste the pain again!" There was a flame of revenge flashing in his eyes, as if he had already seen the scene of humans struggling in pain.
He stood up, his tall body exuding a powerful aura, a cunning light flashed in his eyes, and he continued: "Keep observing, and wait until the woman is killed by those old guys, then find an opportunity to bring her body back to me. Remember, I need her body, or to be more precise, the body of that man."
Ying nodded, indicating that he understood. He knew that the Night King's plan was of vital importance and there must be no mistakes. Then, he reported to the Night King in detail some other situations, including the recent military deployment, political trends and the relationship between various sects.
After listening to it, the Night King pondered for a moment and issued a series of orders, requiring Shadow to strictly implement them. His voice was full of majesty and left no room for doubt.
Finally, the Night King stood with his hands behind his back, folded his arms, and stared at the snow-capped mountains in the distance. The snow-capped mountains towered into the clouds, like a huge white pyramid, shining brightly under the sunlight. However, the Night King's eyes penetrated the snow-capped mountains, as if he saw the distant future.
He secretly swore in his heart that this time he would make humans pay a heavy price and take back the glory and dignity that belonged to the demons.
Leng Qingqiu and Qingge were on a spaceship that shuttled through the vast sky. After a long journey of a whole day, they finally arrived at the Yaochi resort. Pei Qingyu and Su Yue came to the shore early, waiting for the two to return with joy.
When the shadow of the spaceship gradually became clear in the distance, Su Yue excitedly raised her hands and waved them continuously, as if conveying her joy to her friends far away. After they received the news from Leng Qingqiu, they came here impatiently, looking forward to seeing them soon.
The spaceship slowly landed at the shore, and Leng Qingqiu and Qingge walked down gracefully. Pei Qingyu quickly stepped forward, tightly holding Leng Qingqiu's hand, her eyes full of joy at reunion.
"Long time no see, Sect Master!" Pei Qingyu said excitedly.
"I'm no longer the sect leader, so there's no need to call me that." Leng Qingqiu smiled slightly, with a hint of relief in his tone.
"Oh, I'm used to it. It's easy to call you that." Pei Qingyu answered with a smile, her eyes full of respect and closeness for Leng Qingqiu.
Su Yue, who was standing by, hugged Qing Ge and teased her affectionately, "Oh, my Qing Ge is so pretty now. You can tell she and Ning Er have been in love. It's true that being nourished by a man makes her look different. Her skin has become better."
When Qing Ge heard Su Yue's dirty talk, she blushed with shame and felt ashamed. She gently pushed Su Yue and said coquettishly, "Oh, Elder Su, stop laughing at me~"
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the cheerful laughter echoed in the air, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Then, Leng Qingqiu told everyone the purpose of this trip with a serious expression. After hearing this, Pei Qingyu and Su Yue's faces suddenly changed and they were terrified.
Su Yue asked anxiously: "Is Ning'er okay?"
Leng Qingqiu shook his head slowly and said in a heavy tone: "It's hard to say at the moment. I came back this time just to borrow the soul-leaving bell."
Pei Qingyu nodded, she knew the importance of the Soul Separation Bell. Then, she led everyone to the main hall, ready to meet Chu Qingxian and seek her help and support. Along the way, everyone's mood was extremely heavy, and they silently prayed that Ning'er would be safe.
On the other hand, Xiao Ding took Bai Ziyun and Li Changsheng to look for Nangong Luoyu's whereabouts. The three talismans he had given to Xiao Ning before came in handy now. They were also contaminated with Xiao Ding's aura and could be used to locate her.
Soon they came to a mountain area, and the sensation became stronger...
