Chapter 4: Ice Sect

After leaving the imperial city.

Qin Qian and his group headed northward, and it took them five full days before they arrived at a ruined pass.

"Prince Liang, the Northern Territory is ahead!"

A man with a weathered face rode a warhorse, galloped up to Qin Qian and saluted respectfully.

His name is Zhao Guangxun, and he is the only captain of the Iron Killing Corps. He has reached the late Qi Gathering Realm and is the strongest person besides Xiang Yu.

"Let's go!"

Qin Qian nodded and said.

Zhao Guangxun looked at the deserted pass with a flash of anger in his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "These Northern Territory officials are such bastards. Our Qin family rescued them, but now there is no one to welcome the emperor!"

Qin Qian's expression did not change when he heard the complaints.

Those who can become officials are all shrewd people.

His being named King of Liang was a happy event for ordinary people, but those who understood the direction of the court knew that he came to the Northern Territory just to die.

In that case, who would dare to come and get close to me?
What if he is liquidated afterwards and is accused of being an accomplice? Wouldn't that be unjust death?
After entering the pass, Qin Qian walked towards the nearest city.

This city is called Linbei City. It is not large in scale and originally had a population of more than 400,000 people. However, after the war, only about 100,000 people were left.

At this time, there were quite a few people standing at the city gate.

The leader was the mayor of Linbei City, Dong Chuan, with a gloomy face.

"Damn it, this is too unlucky. Among the forty-six cities in the Northern Territory, Qin Qian chose to come to our Linbei City. Isn't this asking for trouble for us?"

A group of officials behind him couldn't help but nod.

trouble!

Qin Qian is a big trouble.

"City Lord, they are coming!"

Suddenly, someone pointed into the distance and said.

Dong Chuan looked up, his originally gloomy face instantly turned into a smile, he trotted forward, saluted respectfully and said: "Your subordinate Dong Chuan, respectfully welcomes the King of Liang to the Northern Territory!"

No matter what, Qin Qian is also the King of Liang.

If they haven't met, he can pretend to be deaf and turn a deaf ear, but since they have met, he has to do a good job of pretending.

"Get up!"

Qin Qian looked at this person and said calmly: "Vacate the City Lord's Mansion. I will move in tonight!"

"This"

Dong Chuan's expression froze.

The City Lord's Mansion has always been his private residence. Now that he has to move out, he is naturally reluctant.

But at this moment, Dong Chuan suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He looked up quickly and saw Xiang Yu standing behind Qin Qian, squinting at him with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

What kind of eyes are those?
Just one look and you'll feel like you're facing the ancient abyss, and your soul will sink into it.

But soon, this feeling disappeared, and Dong Chuan returned to normal again, but the feeling of fear deep in his heart still lingered, making him never dare to underestimate Qin Qian and others again.

"As ordered!"

Dong Chuan bowed quickly.

Qin Qian said nothing more and rode his warhorse into the city.

After he walked away, an official couldn't help but ask, "City Lord, why did you give the City Lord's Mansion to King Liang?"

"King Liang, this is not simple!"

Dong Chuan looked at the team going away, his eyes flickered, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Listen carefully, during this period of time, you are not allowed to show any disrespect to King Liang!"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why.

The day.

The news that Qin Qian moved into Linbei City spread throughout the Northern Territory.

"Dong Chuan is in trouble!" Many city lords thought with glee and sent people to closely monitor Linbei City.

at the same time.

Inside the Hanbing Sect, the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

As the only sect in the Northern Territory, the Ice Sect has a special status. It is located on a glacier, with thousands of palaces suspended in the air, spiritual energy rising, purple clouds lingering, and an extremely beautiful environment.

"Boom!"

An ancient bronze bell rang.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of powerful auras rose from the various palaces, cut through the sky, and fell outside the palace in the center.

At this time, inside the hall, the leader of the Ice Sect was sitting at the top. He was wearing a white robe, and his hair was also snow-white without any impurities. He exuded an icy aura that froze the void.

Within a few feet around him, snowflakes kept falling, as if affected by some mysterious force.

After many elders entered, they saluted the man above them, but sat on the chairs on both sides, secretly curious.

What happened?
He actually had to ring the bronze bell to summon all the elders!
"Everyone, Yan Feng sent a letter asking us to kill King Liang!"

After everyone arrived, the leader of the Hanbing Sect spoke.

His voice was not loud, but it contained an icy martial arts pressure. If someone with low cultivation heard it, they would most likely be seriously injured.

The elders who can stay in the main hall have a cultivation level of at least the Xuandan realm, so they don’t have to worry about this.

"Assault on King Liang?"

The elders were horrified.

An old man immediately stood up and said, "Master, attacking and killing the King of Liang is a serious crime, please think twice!"

A smile appeared on the cold face of the Ice Sect Master, and he said, "Don't worry, everyone. Killing King Liang is not a bad thing for our Ice and Snow Sect, but a good thing!"

The old man wondered, "Why is this?"

The leader of the Hanbing clan explained: "Half a year ago, the barbarians invaded and Duke Qin died in battle. This was obviously a setup. Who set it up?

There is only one answer, the person who planned it is Her Majesty the Empress!

Moreover, Qin Qian's canonization as the King of Liang just proves this point. Otherwise, with the merits of the Qin family, he could at least be canonized to a wealthy place."

"so."

A gleam of light flashed in the old man's eyes, "The one who wants to kill King Liang is not Yan Feng, but Her Majesty the Empress?"

The Ice Sect Master nodded and asked, "I have called you all together today to discuss whether or not to take action!"

"Done!"

The old man didn't even think about it. He waved his hand and said excitedly, "Master, the King of Liang is the one the Queen wants to kill. It is politically correct for us to kill the King of Liang. What else is there to discuss?"

After hearing this, everyone was somewhat excited.

If they could gain the favor of the Empress by killing King Liang, then their Hanbing Sect might have the possibility of making further progress.

"Master, let me take people to destroy King Liang!"

Another elder stood up and said.

A hint of murderous intent emanated from his entire body, dyeing the white hall with a faint red glow.

"no!"

The leader of the Hanbing Sect shook his head and said, "This time, our entire sect will attack together!"

Together!
Many elders were shocked, as they had not seen such a big event for many years.

The old man hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master, Qin Qian is just an abandoned Liang King whose cultivation has been abolished. Is it necessary for the entire sect to take action?"

"Have you forgotten the Qin family?"

The cold voice of the Ice Sect Master sounded, "Although the Qin family's strong men died on the battlefield, as a clan that has been passed down for ten thousand years, what if they have hidden means?

So we either don’t take action, or we use thunder and lightning to kill them with one strike.”

At this point, the Ice Sect Master stood up, with a powerful aura surging from his body. He said to the elders: "A lion will fight a rabbit with all its might. We cannot underestimate any enemy!
Don't you understand that if you fail to kill the snake, you will suffer from it?
Pass on my order, tomorrow morning, all the warriors above the Xuan Dan realm in the sect must gather together."
