Suddenly, one of the stags suddenly twitched its ears, with a puzzled look in its eyes, and was immediately frightened and let out a series of short calls. The herd suddenly panicked and ran away into the distance like a rolling torrent.
The next moment—
"It finally came out... Phew!"
A series of thick and joyful roars came from below the ice cliff.
A figure soared into the sky, flew up from the bottom of the ice cliff, and landed next to the broken ice cliff in a flash like an arrow from a string.
It was Ding Hao who had been trapped under the ice crack for more than five months.
"Meow, meow finally sees the light of day again!" The fat cat Xie Yue shouted excitedly as if she was in a state of joy. He leaned down and jumped off Ding Hao's shoulder, rolling wildly on the grassy beach.
Ding Hao also roared repeatedly.
Yes, finally see the sun again.
After five or six months, I could finally see the red sun in the sky and the endless mountains and snowfields. The earth was recovering and a new season was coming.
After coming out, Ding Hao, whose strength increased violently, slashed at the mysterious ice wall with his sword and climbed up continuously. It took him ten days to finally crawl out from the bottomless crack in the underground ice.
"It's time to go back... Asking the Sword Sect, I'm coming back!"
Knowing the direction, Ding Hao strode down the mountain.
…
The long cold winter is about to pass, which is good news for the human race.
The arrival of spring means that the earth is about to become rich again. Humans and demons no longer worry about food. The tense atmosphere between each other has eased. The city ban has also begun to be lifted. The number of caravans coming and going gradually increases, and the streets Shangzhong became lively again.
Taotieju is a very famous restaurant in the city.
It has only been open for more than five months. Because of its excellent workmanship and fair prices, business has been very good.
At noon that day, it was just time for dinner, and the restaurants started to be noisy again. As the city ban was lifted, a large number of casual warriors, mercenaries and caravans poured into the city, and the business of major inns and restaurants became increasingly prosperous. , full every day.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
And where there are rivers and lakes, there will be all kinds of rivers and lakes news.
"Have you heard? A few months ago, another conflict broke out between Wenjian Sect and Qingping Academy. This time the two sides fought hard, with many casualties. Even the innate-level experts fell... Alas, Now that the nine major sects of the human race have gradually become like fire and water, I am afraid that an internal fight is about to begin!"
"I heard that the Wenjian Sect had the upper hand at the beginning, but unfortunately later Mu Tianyang came in person and killed Ma Yifei, the innate powerhouse of the Wenjian Sect, and almost massacred the entire team of experts from the Wenjian Sect!"
…
No one noticed that after hearing the news of Ma Yifei's death, a figure sitting by the window on the second floor trembled slightly.
Next to the square green wooden table, there was only one person sitting. He looked a little lonely. He was also wearing a white green robe, which looked extremely shabby. There were even rough patches in some places, and the edges of the robe were The cuffs were frayed, giving him a look of poverty.
The table was filled with sumptuous meals, mostly meat, and there was a fat little white cat lying on its back, munching on its own.
…
"We asked that there was such a large-scale conflict between Sword Sect and Qingping Academy. What was the reason for it?"
"I'm not sure. I guess they're competing for some genius treasure again!"
"Hehe, you don't know. It is said that the Starfall Sect also participated in the battle of Tianren Valley that day. Many people from the Wenjian Sect were behind the plot!"
"The situation is getting chaotic."
"Fortunately, a troublemaker appeared in the Monster Clan. It is said that a guy who claimed to be the "Immortal Phoenix Great Sage" suddenly appeared out of nowhere and was extremely arrogant. He established the "Immortal Phoenix Palace" in the south of Snow State. , threatened to unify the Xuezhou Demon Clan, and started a civil war among the Demon Clan, leaving the Demon Clan with no time to distract, otherwise, if the Demon Clan took advantage of the situation, the world would really be in chaos!"
"This is such a restless winter!"
"Geniuses emerge in large numbers from various sects, and it seems that we are about to enter a troubled world... In troubled times, it is always the time when heroes become famous, but it is also the Shura Prison for ordinary beings!"
"Speaking of geniuses, Mu Tianyang and San Shusheng from Qingping Academy, Four Eagles from Xingyun Sect, Six Swords that Cut Richeng, Mingxin Sanxiu from Mingxin Sect, Shuangjun from Yuansheng Sect, and Wenjian Sect's The Four Swords of Wind, Snow, Thunder and Lightning are all the instant choices among the new generation, these people are destined to be the future overlords of Snow State!"
"Yes, but the Wenjian Sect has produced a large number of talents in recent years, and is about to catch up with Qingping Academy. It is said that among the newly recruited disciples last year, there are two dragon and tiger talents named Liang Feixue and Li Muyun, who are also quite amazing. !”
"Hey, I once heard someone say that among the Wenjian Sect, there is Ding Hao, who is not inferior to these two?"
"Haha, your news is out of date as soon as I hear it. The situation of the generation of registered disciples of Wenjian Sect is already very different." When everyone was talking happily, beside a table in the distance, a group of neatly dressed young people Among the warriors, a handsome swordsman burst into laughter.
"Oh?" Everyone was intrigued by this handsome swordsman.
After all, the stories of geniuses from various sects are something that everyone loves to hear.
At that moment, someone stood up and clasped his fists, saying: "This brother seems to know some interesting things about the current situation of the registered disciples of the Wenjian Sect. You might as well tell us and open our eyes!"
The handsome swordsman also started to show off, smiled proudly, and said: "The Ding Hao you are talking about has long since lost his glory. Ever since the second Five Academy Competition, he has been using seclusion as an excuse. When he participated in the Fifth Academy Competition again, he even disappeared without a trace. Some said that he didn't bother to fight with the registered disciples. Some said that his strength had declined and he was afraid of losing his former glory. Some said that he was actually dead... Anyway, Ding Hao has not appeared in the past six months or so."
"disappeared?"
"Retreat?"
"Could it be that you faked your death because you were afraid of the three-year contract with Mu Tianyang?"
This is the first time everyone has heard such a statement.
The handsome swordsman in blue shirt looked like he was enjoying himself when he saw everyone's surprised expressions.
After everyone's eyes were focused on him, he continued speaking slowly and leisurely.
"Since Ding Hao disappeared, the top master of Qingshan East Academy is Li Lan. Together with Liang Feixue and Li Muyun of Baishan Middle Academy, they are known as the three outstanding disciples. It only took four months for these three to , he jumped into the Great Perfection of the Warrior Realm, and was spotted by the strong ones among the six peaks of the Inner Sect. He immediately became a true disciple of the Inner Sect and followed the masters in the sect to practice."
