Outside Liukong Valley, a large number of Beicang sect disciples gathered in front of the valley entrance, and there was a feeling that "black clouds are pressing down on the city and are about to destroy it".

In the ice and snow, this group of Beicang sect disciples brought carts of equipment and dry food to keep out the cold, and even set up temporary tents under the trees, as if they were determined not to return until they attacked this valley.

It was late at night, and they held torches high. One of them, a young man in a rusty red shirt, bowed to a man in red robe sitting under the tree and said, "Master, everything is ready."

"Pei Feng, count the time, it's almost time for A Yin and An to reconcile." This man in red robe turned out to be Xi Tiansu, the young master of the Beicang sect. He was playing with a silver armband in his hand and thought.

Gao Peifeng said confidently: "Master, we have completely controlled the situation in Liukong Valley now. Lao Zheng is our spy who has been hiding in Liukong Valley for many years. He has tampered with the charcoal he purchased. Currently, more than half of the disciples in Liukong Valley

They are all unconscious, it is an empty city without soldiers and generals, even if they did not come, it would be easy for us to take over Liukong Valley."

Xi Tiansu said calmly: "After all, the formation barrier in Liukong Valley has Tang Yilin's true inheritance. It should not be underestimated. Even though Hu Liqin is not here, the commander in the valley is still a troublesome guy."

At this time, two figures appeared on the observation deck with the highest terrain in Liukong Valley, overlooking the entire Liukong Valley. It was Murong Qiu Shui and Xu Licheng. Xu Licheng was the first to ask loudly: "Who is here? What is the purpose of visiting late at night?"

Xi Tiansu sat down unhurriedly, holding a hot hand warmer in his arms, and motioned to Gao Peifeng to respond to his question.

Gao Peifeng took a deep breath and said loudly: "Xi Tiansu, the young leader of the Beicang faction, made a special trip to visit the senior commander of Liukong Valley, and also sent five hundred loads of grain and charcoal for the winter to show the two factions' good intentions and hope to report to the commander.

Senior, please clear the barrier at the entrance of the valley and welcome us into the valley to escape the cold."

Murong Qiu Shui said slightly angrily: "It seems that they are well prepared. They know that our charcoal is poisonous and the room is even more freezing. This charcoal matter must have something to do with these Beicang sect. We can only delay it for a while."

For a while, I have reported the news to my father. It will take at least four days at the earliest for Prime Minister Yelu and my father to come to the rescue. We must hold on."

Xu Licheng nodded towards Murong Qiu Shui. At this time, Murong Qiu Shui mustered up his courage and shouted outside the valley: "You don't have to cry like a cat, the hatred between Beicang and Liu Kong is as deep as the sea. It may be difficult to form an alliance and become friends in this life. You all hurry up and act wisely."

Get out, or we, the Liukong Valley, will make it impossible for you to return."

This courageous shouting resounded throughout the valley and beyond, deafening and enlightening. It made the vigil disciples of Liukong Valley excited and shouted in unison: "Beicang faction, get out of here..."

After hearing this, Gao Peifeng turned livid with anger and looked like he was gearing up. He wanted to lead people in and said cursingly: "A group of idiots who are about to die are so shameless..."

Xi Tiansu didn't change his expression, and said calmly: "Don't worry, the grasshoppers won't be able to jump for long after autumn. We'll just wait here. Let's see how long their bones can stay strong in the cold winter without a stove?"

Gao Peifeng chuckled, and then shouted in response: "Okay, since your sect is toasting and not having to drink wine as a penalty, then all the disciples of the Beicang sect will be waiting at the mouth of the valley for the day when you beg for mercy." After that, he began to instruct the disciples of the Beicang sect to light a fire.

He set up a tent and lived the tent life of a nomad on the grassland.

Liukong Valley, inside the meeting hall.

Murong Qiushui was pacing back and forth, and there was an old man in his sixties kneeling on the ground. She could only hear her accusing her in a disappointed tone: "Old Zheng, our Liukong Valley treated you well. Four years ago, you almost froze to death on the street.

I rescued you, how did you repay us?"

The old man named Lao Zheng knelt down and confessed: "Miss Murong, you treat me well, but my only daughter married to Canglin City. If I don't do it, my daughter, son-in-law, and grandson will be the same."

They will all die."

Murong Qiushui heard this but didn't know how to apologize to this lonely and pitiful old man. She became silent. When thinking about how to deal with it, Lao Zheng said guiltily: "I'm sorry, Miss Murong, Lao Zheng can only use this life to apologize to you.

"After saying that, with the hope of death, he rushed to the pillar next to him and hit his head badly, causing blood to spatter on the spot.

"Prepare the best coffin for the old man and give him a good burial." Murong Qiushui calmed down his expression of surprise and helplessness, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said sadly.

Two disciples of the Liukong Sect came forward to bow and took away Lao Zheng's body. At this time, Xu Licheng hurriedly entered and reported to Murong Qiushui: "Miss Murong, this charcoal incident has resulted in thirty-eight years of ineffective treatment in Liukong Valley.

Most of them were old and frail servants and maids. Among them, about eleven elite disciples were killed or injured. There are currently 66 unconscious people including the master, and nine strong disciples have recovered.

, plus the other healthy disciples, there are only thirty-two people left in the whole valley. The Beicang sect has a large number of people this time, about one hundred and twenty people."

Murong Qiu Shui suddenly had a sad face. She was not a member of the city guarding sect, but at this critical moment, she had to do her duty, which made her very melancholy.

Seeing Murong Qiushui's silence, Xu Licheng sighed softly and said hesitantly: "There is another difficult matter. There is a problem with the charcoal and grain purchased by Lao Zheng. We have already run out of charcoal in the valley. Fortunately, Brother Liqin has the foresight to do so.

I deliberately stored some food in the secret room. It is estimated that this food is for the few people who enter the secret room to practice, so there is not much food. If this food is to be eaten by so many people, it will only be enough for one day at most, and everyone may be hungry for three days.

In addition, it is a snowy day, and there is no charcoal to keep warm and to avoid the cold. If we don’t have enough to eat, we may not be able to fight against the enemy.”

Murong Qiushui paced back and forth, thinking for a long time and said: "Licheng, there is less than a barrel of charcoal in my house. It was left to me by Senior Brother Youxi before he left. It was not manipulated by Old Zheng. You let people put it

It was brought up. Except for the disciples who took turns to watch and patrol, the rest of the people, including the unconscious disciples, were all gathered in this hall. Everyone used the remaining charcoal to huddle together to keep warm. Although the hall was relatively large, so

It requires a lot of charcoal, but it can be heated centrally, so it can last at least two days. The problem of not much food left can only be solved by asking the disciples who are keeping vigil to eat more, and we can eat less. I hope everyone can work together and survive.

In four days, it will be rainy and sunny."

All the disciples of Liu Kong Sect bowed and said: "We will endure and live and die with Liu Kong."

Three days later, the wind and snow in Liukong Valley were still very heavy, and the Beicang sect disciples at the entrance of the valley seemed to have settled on the spot.

At this time, the disciples of Liukong Valley have reached a difficult moment when they have run out of ammunition and food. They have lost the supply of charcoal and food. They are all lying half-lying in the house, relying on quilts and the gas breathed out by everyone to keep warm. The disciples are gradually waking up. These are the only ones.

Even though the disciple gradually recovered, he still suffered from general weakness due to lack of medical treatment and improper diet.

Lying in the meeting hall like a useless person.

Xu Licheng saw that the eyelids of Commander Yun, who had been comatose for three days, were trembling, showing signs of waking up. He couldn't help but said with joy: "It seems that the Pushong pills left by Senior Brother Liqin have an effect. It's great, the master is awake."

Sure enough, Hu Changyun gradually opened his eyes. His face was still pale and his whole body was weak. He stared at Murong Qiushui and Xu Licheng with a blank expression.

Murong Qiushui asked with concern: "Second uncle, are you okay?"

Commander Yun felt vaguely uneasy, but he still smiled warmly, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine if I get some sleep."

At this time, a Liukong Sect disciple hurriedly ran out of the door and said urgently: "Miss Murong, please go out and take a look. These thieves from the Beicang Sect have actually tied Uncle Gao to the snow."

Murong Qiushui was horrified when she heard this, and felt dizzy for a while. She forced down her physical discomfort and hurried to the observation deck with Xu Licheng.

Looking from a distance, he saw, as expected, Beicang Sect disciples surrounding one person. The middle-aged man was Gao Changjia. He had been stripped of his outer robe, and was helplessly tied to a cross wearing only a thin shirt.

The falling snowflakes covered him in an instant, and beside him stood a sturdy young man with a helpless look in his eyes and a purple-robed man with a purple beard.

The man in purple robe crossed his arms across his chest and said with a smile: "Di Yin, don't show any compassion for saving people. This time I finally captured Gao Changjia and You Xi, but I was defeated by you."

The traitors destroyed it. If you hadn't intentionally helped me secretly, how could Youxi have escaped, and even Youxi wouldn't have caused any trouble."

Xi Tiansu looked at Di Yin angrily and scolded: "Di Yin, you are a Beicang sect in this life, so you should fulfill your responsibilities as a Beicang sect disciple and don't be a rip-off, you know?" He saw that Di Yin kept his head down and remained silent.

, but his brows were furrowed, as if he was holding back a sense of resentment. He couldn't help but soften his tone, and his attitude turned 180 degrees. He talked eloquently: "Hey, I am also a teacher for your own good. You have to know, Ayin.

The moment you kill You Changzhi, stop thinking about being brothers with Hu Liqin."

Di Yin remained silent, his dark face full of struggle and melancholy. He couldn't help but glanced at Gao Changjia, who instead smiled at him with relief, as if he had no regard for life and death.

Gao Peifeng was quite proud and shouted towards the observation deck in the valley: "Murong Qiushui, you are now the person in charge of Liukong Valley, right? Okay. My master Xi Tiansu asked me to tell you that Gao Changjia is now in our hands. If you don't

Unlock the Taniguchi Formation and the barrier, and we will freeze Gao Changcai to death in the ice and snow. We will give you six hours. If you don't clear the formation by midnight tonight, we will collect Gao Changcai's body tomorrow.

"

Murong Qiushui was stunned and silent. At this moment, she was so confused that she frowned, her eyes suddenly turned red, and her forehead felt a buzzing. She couldn't help but hug the scabbard embroidered with wisteria flowers in her arms tightly, and walked forward.

After a few steps, he passed out in the snow.

When she woke up, she heard Hu Changyun's mixed words of reproach and unbearability: "Hey, you kid, I've already told you, how could you not eat? You also said you weren't hungry, so you fainted from exhaustion."
