Great Liang Dynasty, Tianjian Year 11.
There was great strife.

In June, it snowed heavily in Ying Prefecture.
It was rumored that an immortal had descended upon the world.
Once the news spread, god knows how many people went to Ying Prefecture to catch sight of the immortal.
But no one found traces of any immortals.

September, Wei Prefecture flooded heavily when Wei River breached its banks.
Residents on both sides of the riverbank were displaced and starving to death.
The disaster victims fought for food with wild dogs and bones littered the ground.

At the end of the year, Sword Qi Mountain ’s new sword, Wild Grass, was born, shocking the world.
Countless sword cultivators scrambled to climb up Sword Qi Mountain, wanting to bring this once-in-a-hundred-years sword down the mountain.

Two years later, Tianjian Year 13.
There was snowfall in Wei Prefecture during early winter.

……

……

The heavy snow started falling on the day of the winter solstice.
By now, it had already snowed for a whole month.

The sky had long already turned dark.

The bright moon was half-hidden.
The birds and animals disappeared.
There was only a vast expanse of white in the mountains.

Several lanterns that gave off a dim light swayed constantly in the cold wind, akin to a lonely boat amidst tumultuous waves; hanging by a thread.

Under the dim lighting, a party of more than ten people was currently slowly advancing along the mountain path.

”Young Lady, we should be reaching Tianqing County after crossing this mountain.
The people who are coming to pick Young Lady up should be arriving at Tianqing County tomorrow as well.
At that time, Young Lady will be escorted by them to the Divine Capital and we can also return to report on our mission. ”

In the team, the white-haired old man at the front pulled the cotton robe on his body tighter.
While talking, the old man ’s brows which had been constantly furrowed, relaxed considerably at this moment.

But right after, he continued somewhat apologetically, ”I haven ’t come out to walk for many years.
I didn ’t expect that this world is still so chaotic and almost put Young Lady in danger.
This old man is truly ashamed. ”

After their squad encountered demons several times, there were already less than 10% of the original team left at this time.

”Uncle Song don ’t have to be like this.
When the people from the Divine Capital arrive, there shouldn ’t be any more problems on this journey northward. ”

There was a young girl in the center of the team.
Her eyebrows were picturesque and she wore a pale green colored plain thick robe.
But even so, her entire being exuded a special aura too.
Although she was young, there was not a trace of childishness in the young girl ’s eyes which were like water.
On the contrary, they were as calm as water.

She was definitely no ordinary girl.

The old man who was surnamed Song glanced at the young girl, his face full of gratification.
This young girl in front of him was the number one person in the current generation of White Deer ’s Xie Clan.

The Xie Clan ’s cultivation method was special and could not be cultivated before the age of 16.
The Divine Capital ’s Xie Clan wanted her to head north to the Divine Capital to study when she turned 16.

This was clearly having the intention of grooming Young Lady.

Great Liang Dynasty had established their kingdom for over 200 years.
Although the world was still not very peaceful, it was much better than the previous dynasty.
At least, during these 200 years, the Demon King ’s Court in the north no longer sent large groups of demons southward at every turn and slaughtering an entire province.

However, demons still existed within the country ’s borders.
Many common people were killed.
These things could not be avoided.

”Young Lady, Tutor Song, there ’s a mountain god temple ahead.
Shall we spend the night there? ” !

The blizzard was heavy.
Under the aid of the moonlight at this time, one could really see a dilapidated mountain god temple situated on the mountainside by itself.
More than half of it was covered by accumulated snow.
Even the gate was somewhat in ruins.

It seemed to have been abandoned for a long time without anyone renovating it.

Great Liang Dynasty did not believe in ghosts or gods.
Temples such as this mountain god temple were all built in the previous dynasty.
The current dynasty did not allocate funds to repair them.
They naturally became more and more dilapidated.

Retracting his gaze, Tutor Song looked at the young girl.

The young girl nodded.

After entering the borders of Wei Prefecture, they had been battered by a heavy blizzard.
Pushing on with their journey became arduous.
The team pushed on without stopping and were long already dead tired.

Tutor Song understood and said in a deep voice, ”Ente… ”

His voice suddenly stopped!

There was suddenly a soun
