After saying goodbye to Li Lingzhou, Yan Luo got out of the car with her belongings and walked step by step toward the door.
The closer he got, the more intense the throbbing in Yanluo's heart became, as if something was calling to him.
Finally standing before this extremely eerie door, Yanluo pushed it open. Instead of the stairs or anything else she had imagined, something even more mysterious appeared.
A crimson vortex, interspersed with a few bolts of lightning, slowly rotated counterclockwise.
Yan Luo thought of a word.
Portal.
This was something Yanluo hadn't expected. Was there no foreplay left?
It's good to give yourself a sense of exploration.
Isn't that a bit too direct?
It's like they're trying to get me inside faster.
Yan Luo sighed, then stepped into the teleportation portal until her entire body was inside.
First, she entered a state of complete darkness, then felt a dizzying sensation as Yanluo regained her balance.
With a blink of an eye, Yan Luo found himself high in the sky, plummeting rapidly. Snow surrounded him, and chaotic energy enveloped his entire body as he manipulated it. Yan Luo landed safely on the ground.
The world is an endless expanse of white, with fine snow blanketing the landscape as its main theme.
According to Bai Ningbing, only the northern region of the demon realm is covered in snow all year round, so Yanluo is currently located on a snow-covered mountain in the northern region.
Yanluo took out the map that the fox demon sister had prepared for her from her backpack, but since she didn't know the location, this detailed map was of little use.
With her senses spreading widely, Yanluo discovered a village in the white expanse where nothing could be seen.
Yanluo took off her coat and put on a fur robe, which Li Lingzhou had prepared in advance because he thought Yanluo wouldn't wear any thick clothes to the northern frontier.
Before getting off the carriage, Yanluo unceremoniously asked for the large robe. The robe had a hood that could cover his face, and he could also use the chaotic energy to cover his human aura, so that he would be completely safe.
A few moments later, the young man appeared at the village entrance.
At this time, the snowfall was light, and it was daytime.
The snow demon children in the village were playing under the trees at the village entrance. Their little faces were all rosy and they were wearing thick hats. When they saw a strange demon dressed in black robes with an obscured face approaching, they all ran into the village in fear.
Yanluo stepped into the village step by step. Soon, several children led an elderly snow demon toward him. The snow demon took off his hat and greeted him.
"Young demon, welcome to our village."
"I am the village chief, Xue San."
Snow fairies look very much like humans, but their ears are long and pointed like those of fairies in fairy tales. Their hair is all white, and they all have a snow fairy totem mark on their hands.
Yanluo used the power of chaos to change his appearance, making himself look like a snow demon. A similar totem appeared on the back of his hand. He took off his hat.
"Hello, village chief, I'm lost and don't know where I am. I'd like to know where the nearest town is."
Xue San couldn't detect any demonic aura, and was initially a little nervous, but was relieved when he saw that it was a member of the same race.
"Come on, young man, it's cold outside. Come to my house and have a cup of hot tea. Do you have a map?"
Yan Luo nodded.
Xue San sent the children away to play and led Yan Luo toward her home. The old snow demon's house was not far from the village entrance, just a few steps away.
Although he is the village chief, it is a village that is obviously very simple and honest, so Xue San's house is also very ordinary, even a bit small.
Though small, the sparrow has all the vital organs.
I lifted the heavy blanket to go inside, and it was warm and cozy.
Xue San added some firewood to the brazier, then took out a clean cup from the cabinet and poured Yan Luo a cup of hot tea.
"Here, have some hot tea."
Yanlu thanked him, took the cup, and held it in her hand; it was very warm.
After sitting down around the wooden table, Yanluo handed the map to Xue San.
Xue San looked at the map, found their approximate location, and pointed it out to Yan Luo.
"This is where we are now. The nearest town is several hundred miles to the west. That town is called Winter City. Winter City is the former residence of the Snow Queen, the Demon Emperor of our Northern District."
Yanluo nodded, made a mark with his pen, and then put away the map.
"Young man, stay at my house tonight. It's getting dark, and things haven't been peaceful lately. You can leave tomorrow."
Yanlu blinked her beady eyes.
I set off for the northern border around 8 o'clock and arrived there in about three hours. Wasn't it still daytime then?
Is there a time difference here?
But that's not the point.
"Village Chief Xue, what's been going on lately? I rarely go out. This time I'm heading to Xuedi City to stay with my uncle, so I don't know anything about the current situation."
As Bai Ningbing mentioned, the Snow Emperor City is where the Demon Emperor Snow Emperor resides.
Xue San picked up the cup, blew on the hot tea, and took a sip.
“We’re not far from the city, so we got the news early. It seems your village is quite remote.”
Yan Luo nodded repeatedly.
Xue San gestured for Yan Luo to drink tea while continuing to speak.
"The Demon King of the Western District launched a war, leading all the demons of the Western District to attack the Central District. The Demon King of the Qingqiu Fox Clan has been killed, and the Central District has completely fallen."
"Everyone is feeling uneasy right now, but there's no need to worry for now. Our Snow Empress is renowned, so the East and South districts should be prioritized."
"We can't let our guard down, so I still suggest you leave tomorrow morning."
Yan Luo was greatly shocked after hearing Xue San's words.
Upon reflection, it's true. When they encountered Bai Ningbing, she was already severely injured and barely clinging to life, while the Black Serpent King was gathering strength to launch its next attack.
Bai Ningbing's fate is obvious: submission or death.
But Yan Luo didn't expect this reason. The Black Serpent King's attack was not simply because he coveted Bai Ningbing's beauty, but because he had joined the war launched by the Western District Demon King in order to plunder the Central District.
According to the information given by Bai Ningbing, each of the five districts has its own demon emperor. Where did this Black Xuan Snake Emperor come from?
Yanluo drinks a sip of hot tea.
"Village Chief, I've also heard of the Demon Emperor. He's incredibly powerful. Who killed the Demon Emperor in the Central District?"
Xue San wore a smug smile, seemingly very proud that his village was close to the town and had access to good news.
"It is said that the Qingqiu Demon Emperor was killed by the Black Xuan Serpent Emperor. The Black Xuan Serpent Emperor was the former Demon Emperor of the Western District. Originally, the Western District was led by the Black Xuan Serpent Clan, which was led by the Black Xuan Serpent Emperor. Later, the Sand Eagle Demon Emperor of the Sand Eagle Clan suddenly appeared."
"After defeating the Black Serpent King and becoming the new Demon King of the West, the two Demon Kings, one old and one new, reached a consensus and launched a war."
Xue San sighed deeply, and his aged voice continued to ring out.
"The demon race in the central region was completely wiped out; it was a very tragic scene."
"The biggest victims of war are us ordinary demons."
"Fortunately, our Snow Empress is exceptionally powerful, so we will definitely be able to continue living a peaceful life."
Xue San's eyes were filled with admiration and pride for Xue Di.
