As it turns out, Long Aotian is the most filial disciple of the Sword Guardian Mountain, without exception!
Because everyone else took this opportunity to attack the city lord and the Wang family, but he alone rushed towards his master's coffin without hesitation!
Amidst the fighting of a group of people, there was only one striking sight.
It was someone chasing after the coffin, running wildly...
Over there, Tianning seized the opportunity to use rope to tie up the Wang family members who were holding her hostage into a pretzel shape, while the others also took on one person at a time and subdued them.
"Fourth Senior Brother?"
Tian Ning looked up and happened to see that Long Aotian, who had finally managed to pull the coffin up the cliff, looked a little off.
"What's wrong? Didn't you rescue the old man?" Fu Hongming raised an eyebrow, but involuntarily tightened his grip on the city lord.
City Lord: "..."
Long Aotian said seriously, "Come and take a look."
After hearing his words, the crowd led the people forward.
"Don't waste your time there," the Wang family elder warned, seemingly noticing something. "A blizzard is coming. If you don't want to die, come back to Snow City with us right now!"
Duanmuqiao ignored him; who knows what bad things the Wang family was up to.
Following the direction pointed out by Long Aotian, everyone saw an injured little snow rabbit lying on a rock protrusion about five meters below the cliff. It was frantically grabbing the cliff face with its paws, trying to climb up.
And it was climbing in the direction that was facing Snow City.
"You mean..." A terrible thought popped into the mind of the monk who led them, and he couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
Shi Qinxin was faster than he could speak, directly manipulating the Lighthearted Sword to leap into the air and slash at the snow rabbit.
Everyone watched helplessly as the snow rabbit turned into a puddle of snow water, just like the spirit beasts that went mad and invaded the snow city when the beast tide came.
Qin Ling asked the cultivator who led them, "Are these kinds of spirit beasts, which turn into snow water after death, common here?"
"Of course not..." the cultivator who led them replied, "They only appear when the beast tide comes, and their numbers are simply abnormal. After all, Snow City is an extremely cold place, not a place with spring all year round. How can spirit beasts give birth to and raise so many offspring?"
"But they just appear out of nowhere. Previously... the city lord had sent people to search for the origin of the beast tide, but they always came up with no clues. Sometimes, they couldn't investigate even when there was a blizzard, and they had to rush back immediately..."
As he spoke, he watched the snowflakes being blown around by the wind in the distance, the white snow fog obscuring the view ahead, as if the heavy snow was about to swallow everything up!
The monk was horrified: "We can't stay here any longer, a blizzard is coming!"
"Don't worry, we've brought enough defensive talismans and magical artifacts," Duanmu Qiao said nonchalantly.
"The blizzard in Snow City is not as simple as you think," the cultivator urged them anxiously to leave. "The cold after the blizzard arrives is something that ordinary people cannot withstand. Not only will those strange spirit beasts find your location, but judging from the strangeness of the past six months, if anyone who wants to enter Snow City encounters a blizzard, the blizzard will not stop unless they are all dead..."
The atmosphere was tense for a second before Long Aotian couldn't help but say, "Your Snow City is really strange."
"Then let's go quickly."
"It's too late," the elder of the Wang family said coldly, looking at the vast expanse of white in the distance. "I gave you a chance to live, but you didn't take it. Now you'll die here with this secret!"
The cultivator, who had barely escaped death, felt his heart sink again. He couldn't bear such a dramatic turn of events and hurriedly said, "If we really can't return to Snow City before the blizzard arrives, then we must hold on to the city lord for dear life!"
"I heard that the successive lords of Snow City have a special treasure passed down through generations. As long as you carry it with you, you will be free from all evil spirits and be able to safely walk out of the blizzard."
“What you say is true, but treasures only protect their masters,” Elder Hao of the Wang family said mercilessly, “Everyone here will die! Only the city lord will return alive!”
In this way, the secrets discovered by the disciples of the six sects will be buried forever.
The fake city lord who returns alive will distort the truth, thus making the Wang family's position in Snow City unshakeable!
"You're all insane!" The cultivator's face was extremely ugly.
