The road to Xueyu City from where Xueran is stationed is still very safe, and there are not many encounters with ice locusts.
According to Xue Hengfeng, there will be members of the Ice Phoenix clan patrolling this section of the road at fixed times to clear out the intruding ice locusts, so the safety is very high. Unless it is like the Snowy Frost Forest where I encountered the Ice Locust before, there will be Ice Locusts who sense that the Snow Frost Tree is about to bear fruit, and stay there in advance, waiting for the Snow Frost Tree to bear fruit.
"Doesn't that mean that as long as you find ice locusts, you can find Xueshuangzi?" Shi Wuming asked with interest.
"How can it be so simple?" Xue Hengfeng smiled wryly, "It is not easy for the Xueshuang tree to bear fruit. Even if it does, we can't perceive it in advance like the ice locust. And most of the time, the ice locust comes in just to hunt , it’s not that there are Xueshuangzi wherever they appear.”
Xueshuangzi is the ultimate treasure for the Bingfeng clan, especially the mixed blood with impure blood, it can purify some blood to some extent, and the mixed blood like Xue Hengfeng is even more flocking to it. It's a pity that for so many years, Xue Hengfeng has never encountered a single Xueshuangzi, not only because of bad luck, but also because Xueshuangzi is so rare.
This time, he finally came across one, but how dare he snatch it from this group of ferocious creatures
There were not many ice locusts encountered on the road, and Wen Qiao and the others were there, so it was easy to deal with them, Xue Hengfeng never made a move at all.
Ten days later, they were gradually approaching Xueyu City.
Up to this area, more and more Bingfeng clansmen were encountered.
However, because Wen Qiao and the others had disguised themselves, those Bingfeng people did not realize their identities, but they couldn't help but look at them suspiciously when they met them. Snowy City has seen it.
Xue Hengfeng was worried, and with a frank look on his face, he introduced to the people he met: "They just returned to the clan recently, and they used to live in other places."
There are many mixed bloods in the Bingfeng clan, and these mixed bloods are born from outsiders.
As a result, after some mixed races are born, most of them will live with their mothers—after all, whoever gives birth will raise them, especially when the mothers are outside cultivators, and there is no time to return to the clan after birth. Or for some reason, they can only live in other places, not necessarily in Xueyu City since childhood.
It is said that every once in a while, people of mixed race will come back, and occasionally they will see some strange faces.
Wen Qiao asked strangely: "The men in your clan went outside to look for female nuns to give birth to children. When the female nuns gave birth outside, they didn't have time to send them back to the Snow Realm. Aren't those children very dangerous?"
The Bingfeng clan couldn't leave the Snow Realm. Once they stayed outside for a long time, their bodies would become weak and eventually die. The mixed blood is also a member of the Bingfeng clan, isn't it very dangerous
Xue Hengfeng explained: "Mixed blood is not as dependent on extreme cold air as pure blood, and can stay outside for a longer time. I heard that many mixed blood lived with their mothers until they became adults and found that their bodies were weak. I just returned to live in the Snow Realm."
Those female cultivators who choose to have children with the Bingfeng tribe are naturally willing, and the children they give birth will also be raised, and they rarely abandon the children. After discovering that the child's body has become weak, they know that they can't stay with them, and they will automatically send the child to the Snow Realm. Even if they are reluctant, they don't want the child to die of weakness.
This is also the reason why the Bingfeng clan will not give up even if they are mixed blood.
One is that there are indeed relatively few people in the Ice Phoenix clan, and the other is that only the Snow Region can allow children with the blood of the Ice Phoenix to survive here.
"So, the pure blood of your Bingfeng clan is more dependent on the Snow Realm, but the mixed blood is not bound?" Wen Qiao was a little stunned, "From this point of view, wouldn't the mixed blood be better?"
Xue Hengfeng was stunned, "But the aptitude of mixed blood is not as good as that of pure blood, and the speed of cultivation is not as fast as that of pure blood. Even pure blood can reach Yuansheng Realm. Very few mixed blood can cultivate to Yuansheng Realm."
"Your Bingfeng clan also has Yuansheng Realm?" Shi Wuming said in surprise, secretly exchanging glances with Ning Yuzhou and the others.
Xue Hengfeng said proudly: "It is because of our Bingfeng Clan that we have Yuansheng Patriarch, those people outside dare not easily bully us."
"Is your Primordial Saint Realm Patriarch here?"
"Cultivation in the clan."
Knowing that the Patriarch of the Yuansheng Realm of the Bingfeng Clan is cultivating latently, everyone is relieved.
But after thinking about it, it feels normal. After cultivating to the Yuansheng Realm, one can already touch the mysterious and mysterious realm. A cultivator instinctively pursues strength. lifespan.
After knowing the situation of the Bingfeng clan, Ning Jichen said softly: "It's a bit pitiful, I can only be shackled in one place, and I will die when I leave."
This is beyond their imagination. Ever since he knew that there are continents beyond the mainland, Ning Jichen discovered that the world is so big. It's fine if you don't have the ability, but it's a bit sad to find that you have the ability to go further, but you can only be trapped in one place.
The strong premise of the Bingfeng clan also binds their fate.
After learning about the disease of the Bingfeng clan, Wen Qiao, Ning Yuzhou, and Shi Wuming also realized their fate, which is indeed very pitiful.
Facing their pitying eyes, Xue Hengfeng, who grew up in the Snow Realm, was stunned.
He didn't think it was strange, the education he had been exposed to since childhood was like this, and he was also used to living in the Snow Realm, knowing that the outside world did not have an environment suitable for them like the Snow Realm, and he never thought of leaving—except to go out to find and have children On the contrary, those who always want to leave the snow domain and go to the outside world cannot understand.
Wen Qiao's camouflage was quite successful, until they arrived in Xueyu City, they were not seen through by the Bingfeng tribe.
Snowland City is located in a huge underground space. The scale of the city is comparable to the cultivation cities they have seen before, but this city is located underground, dark and cold all year round, and the environment is harsh. It is not a normal cultivation city.
In addition, the city looks empty, probably because there are not many people from the Bingfeng clan, the whole city looks very deserted.
Although the underground space is very dark, but the practitioners have countless means to make the dungeon as bright as day is no problem. I don't know what is hanging above the city, which can reflect the light like daylight. It's just because the color of the dungeon is too monotonous, the light looks pale and colder.
Wen Qiao couldn't help but look around at the people who entered the city. They had either white hair or black and white mixed hair. They were all dressed in white clothes. It would be fine if there were only one or two, but if everyone was dressed like this, it would be a bit monotonous and scary.
Shi Wuming couldn't help stamping his feet, and said in a low voice: "I suddenly feel colder."
Obviously this place is already cold enough, seeing so many cold and unpopular Bingfeng people, I feel even colder.
In contrast, the soft, cute and shy Yukino looks very special.
"Is it cold? No way." Xue Hengfeng looked at them in surprise, thought of something, and whispered, "Even if it's cold, don't show it."
The Bingfeng clan doesn't think the environment here is cold, but it is very suitable for their cultivation.
Seeing this man suppressing his worries, Wen Qiao and the others paused, and found that this Xue Hengfeng was also a special—a special stupid.
Xue Hengfeng led them into the city without any major problems.
After entering the city, Xue Hengfeng took them to the place where he lived - an extremely remote house in the city. Although the house was big, it looked shabby.
Xue Hengfeng met their scrutinizing eyes, held back his shame and said, "This is a house I bought outside. Anyway, I'm the only one living in it. Usually, no one comes, so you can just live there."
Wen Tutu said very bluntly: "Looking at you, you are not valued very much in the Bingfeng clan, so how can you have a problem with Xueran and the others?"
The Bingfeng family pays attention to blood, and there is a natural gap between pure blood and mixed blood. It stands to reason that even if Xue Hengfeng is jealous of the Xueran brothers, he will not be so jealous that he will run to trouble them when he sees them in trouble.
Who gave him the guts
"My mother is pure blood. I grew up in the clan. Except that my hair is not pure white, my status in the clan is not bad." Xue Hengfeng emphasized.
It's just that the more he emphasizes, the more he can see his jealousy towards the Xueran brothers, jealous that they are pure blood and he is a mixed blood.
"Jealousy makes a person completely unrecognizable!" Shi Wuming patted him comfortingly, "Brother, don't be jealous of others casually in the future, in fact, you are not bad."
What a shot through the heart!
Xue Hengfeng suddenly wanted to explode on the spot again.
After arranging the people, Xue Hengfeng wanted to take the opportunity to leave, but Wen Tutu didn't allow him to go, and said: "During the time we are in Xueyu City, I will trouble you to take care of it! Don't even think about telling the truth, before you tell the truth Before, we can definitely kill you first, you know?"
He was obviously Yuxue's lovely child, but he was holding a big hammer and smiling coldly and cruelly.
Xue Hengfeng couldn't help but think of how he killed the ice locust with a sledgehammer, how could he dare to be lucky, nodded hurriedly, rested his thoughts of leaving, and decided to follow them obediently until the group of evil stars were sent away.
The next day, accompanied by Xue Hengfeng, they went for a stroll in Xueyu City.
Although there are few people in Snowy City, there are also some shops that specialize in selling specialties of the Snowy Land, as well as the Pill Talisman arrays needed by practitioners, but the number of these things is very small, making these shops look deserted.
Wen Qiao and the others went to a shop selling Snowland specialties, and bought anything they were interested in.
The owner of the store obviously knew Xue Hengfeng, and greeted him with a smile, and asked him who he brought, and why he had never seen him before.
Xue Hengfeng stiffly used the previous words.
"Really? Why haven't I heard any news about the return of the tribe recently?"
"They just came back and haven't made it public yet..." Xue Hengfeng broke out in cold sweat, and could only hold on forcibly.
Fortunately, Wen Qiao and the others finished shopping quickly, Xue Hengfeng wiped off his cold sweat, and hurriedly took them away, fearing that if it took longer, it would arouse suspicion.
Back at Xuehengfeng's house, Shi Wuming praised and said: "Good performance! But they will suspect sooner or later, how will you explain it then?"
Xue Hengfeng said in his heart that there is no need to explain, and he just confessed to you.
But he didn't dare to say that, so he had to forcefully say, "I, I will cover for you to leave. After you leave, I will say that you don't want to stay here and live somewhere else..."
The Snow Region is huge, and there are not many underground spaces, not only in this area, but also in other places. It's just that there are a lot of ice locusts in those places, and the environment is even harsher, which is not suitable for survival, so the people of the ice phoenix clan choose to live in clusters in the Snowy City area.
After listening to his explanation, Shi Wuming thought it was okay, so he didn't torture his soul again.
They stayed in Xueyu City for a few days, and soon they found out the situation in Xueyu City, and lost interest.
It is said that the original purpose of Xueyu City was to provide the residence for those outside cultivators. At that time, the Bingfeng clan had not fallen out with the outside world, and practitioners often came to the Snow Realm to practice. It was convenient for them and Bingfeng to live here. The clan exchanged some resources unique to the Snow Region, and at the same time, it was convenient for the Bingfeng clan to exchange cultivation resources with the outside world.
At that time, the Bingfeng clan did not live here.
Later, something happened to the Ice Phoenix clan, and outside cultivators were forbidden to enter the Snow Region. The Snow Region City had just become the place where the mixed blood of the Ice Phoenix clan lived, and the pure blood still didn't live here.
"They live in the clan land, and our ancestors are also cultivating in the clan land." Xue Hengfeng explained, and when he saw them coming over, his heart skipped a beat, and he said in horror, "You don't want to go Clan land?"
"I really want to go." Wen Qiao rubbed his chin, "If you have time, you can go and have a look."
"There must be a lot of good things there." Wen Tutu's eyes lit up.
"Chirp~" Little Phoenix echoed.
Xue Hengfeng almost didn't panic, "You better not go, there are our ancestors in the clan land, and two elders of the Yuan Emperor Realm, if we find you, you will definitely die!" And he will also be implicated, Maybe even his mother will suffer.
It's hard to talk about it, so they can give up their minds.
Xue Hengfeng secretly wiped away his sweat, wishing that the death icicle period outside would pass quickly and send these ferocious creatures away.
After staying in Xueyu City for more than half a month, just as Wen Qiao and the others were about to leave, Xueyu City suddenly became lively.
"What's going on? Go and find out." Wen Tutu rudely kicked out Xue Hengfeng, a little boy who was running errands.
Xue Hengfeng went out to inquire without complaint, and when he came back, he had a strange expression on his face, and before they could ask, he replied: "It was Xue Xiao who was captured."
Xue Xiao is Xue Ran's elder brother!
Wen Qiao and the others had a very good impression of Xueran, so they naturally paid attention to this matter, and asked, "Have you caught him? Is he alright?"
"Something happened." Xue Hengfeng tried hard not to gloat, "I heard that he was seriously injured and was about to die."
"What?"
Xue Hengfeng said: "Xue Xiao has been sent back to the clan, I don't know how injured he is."
"Then go and inquire!" Wen Qiao said domineeringly.
Xue Hengfeng didn't dare to have an opinion, so he had to go out to inquire again.
Half a day later, he just came back, and said helplessly: "The clansman who brought Xue Xiao back won't say anything, let us leave it alone, and I don't know the situation." Afraid they would blame him, he hurriedly said, "I can give my mother Subpoena, ask her."
Xue Hengfeng quickly got in touch with his mother.
Unfortunately, his mother didn't know about Xue Xiao's condition, she only said that he was already in a coma when he was sent back, and his condition looked very bad, which even alarmed their ancestors.
Even the ancestors of the Yuan Saint Realm were alarmed, which shows that the Bingfeng clan really attaches great importance to Xue Xiao.
It's not something they can intervene in unless they reveal their identities. And even if they expose their identities, they may not be able to do anything, and they didn't think about exposing their identities for Xue Xiao, but they just feel that Xue Ran is a bit pitiful. He has always been worried about his brother. If he knew that his brother was in danger, he would be very sad.
Xue Hengfeng looked at this group of people anxiously, and secretly prayed that they would not do anything terrible to hurt him again.
At this time, I heard Qiao say: "Do you know who Xue Xiao likes, the female cultivator who asked Xu Gong?"
Xue Hengfeng shook his head, "We don't know, Xue Xiao protected her very well and never revealed her name. Although the patriarch knew about it, the patriarch hated her very much, and said that if it wasn't for her, Xue Xiao would not have refused arrangement, so we never told us about her."
Wen Qiao groaned, and asked him again: "How much do you know about Wenxu Palace?"
Xue Hengfeng shook his head again, "I have never left the Snow Region, and I don't know anything about the forces outside the Snow Region."
After finishing speaking, he saw the group of people staring at him with "what's the use of you", as if he was a useless waste.
