The team in front of you does have some origins. The leader is Wan Liang, the lord of Jincheng, the first city in Beizhou under the Fengtian Dynasty.
This man had great talent in cultivation and had already entered the cultivation stage when he was twenty years old. However, he later placed more emphasis on power and gave up the empire's qualifications to train deputy commanders. He stayed in the Golden City where he was born to develop, and gradually became a city leader.
Step closer.
If he really devoted himself to cultivation, even if he could not reach the level of Beizhou Commander today, he would at least be able to reach the position of Beizhou's first deputy commander-in-chief.
Originally, Wan Liang had developed very well over the years. Not only the Jincheng under his control, but also several other surrounding main cities, under his control, had also developed very prosperously over the years.
Not only the Beizhou area, but also the Fengtian Dynasty has benefited a lot in recent years. It is not easy for Wanliang to get to this day step by step. If it can continue to develop like this, Wanliang will become Fengtian.
It is not impossible for the princes of the dynasty to do so.
However, things are changing. The Nether Clan suddenly came to Kunxuan Continent. The Fengtian Dynasty was the first to suffer, and the most serious loss in the Fengtian Dynasty was Beizhou.
Although Wan Liang led all his men and cooperated with the strong men under the commander of Beizhou to carry out an all-out counterattack and fight, they still inevitably suffered a complete defeat in the end.
Originally, Wan Liang should have retreated south with his strong men after his defeat, returning to the capital of the Fengtian Dynasty. However, he was unwilling to accept it, and all his hard work for so many years was wasted in one go.
If Wan Liang leads his men to retreat to Fengtian City, the capital of the Fengtian Dynasty, not only will he lose all his original power, but more importantly, the team in his hands will also be assigned to the empire.
Several commander-in-chief's men.
Because Jincheng has been going smoothly over the years, the entire development in the empire has surpassed more than 90% of the county towns. Thinking that he may have to obey the orders of the people who nodded and bowed to him in the future, Wan Liang felt that this would be worse than killing him directly.
More painful.
Thinking about the fact that the warriors he had carefully trained over the years were to be split up and join the empire's army, it felt like the flesh was being ripped out of his heart.
When Wan Liang was in a dilemma, he got the news about a strange treasure that would be born in the Far North Icefield through some connections in Duobao Pavilion.
Wan Liang seemed to have grasped the last hope, regardless of how many dangers there were, and still chose to take the plunge without hesitation. Of course, in addition to Wan Liang, there were several other city lords in Beizhou.
Everyone was in basically the same situation, so it could be said that they hit it off immediately. We didn't even need to study it carefully before we reached an agreement.
As long as they gain something in the Far North Icefield, they can even consider developing a huge force in the chaotic land. They can even buy a county in Yelin, Xuanwu or Prairie to re-develop a new power.
of power.
Their ideas and plans can actually be considered the best choice at the moment. The biggest problem they face is that they don't know much about the Arctic ice sheet, and they are far from underestimating the dangers and variables that exist.
After actually entering the Arctic Icefield, these people were basically dumbfounded. Just crossing the Blackwater River, they lost more than ten companions.
Afterwards, as we moved forward among the glaciers, not only did the situation not improve, but our manpower losses continued to gradually increase.
The fighting power of those dire wolves is not weak, and most of them will move together. There are a large number of them, which directly leads to them being easily discovered on the glacier, and then becoming the target of attacks.
At that time, Wan Liang and others almost felt despair until they saw the outline of the iceberg outlined by golden threads in the dark night sky, as well as the glacial landforms surrounding the iceberg in that scene.
At that moment, Wan Liang felt that he and others had finally "secured the clouds and seen the moonlight", and believed that the treasure they were looking for could be obtained by entering the iceberg, or even by going to the location of the iceberg.
But the facts proved that his idea was still too "naive". From the moment they entered the iceberg through murder, Wan's conscience already had a bad feeling.
For normal treasure hunting, you can just enter directly. At most, you will design some levels and solve some hidden problems. After solving them, you can open the treasure.
But this requires killing a group of people, and letting people like myself enter does not look like a normal treasure hunting process.
A series of encounters that followed made Wan Liang truly understand what torture and suffering was. In the ice crystal cave above, he was looking for the correct route. In the process, he had to deal with ice-horned rhinoceros and at the same time fight with other warriors.
After finally reaching the second level, in the mirror maze here, we also need to face killings. We must not only kill the dire wolf that may appear at any time, but also lure or capture people to the ice platform and kill them.
When entering the Far North Icefield, Wan Liang united with two city lords who had a good relationship with him and his deputy city lord. There were more than 200 warriors with good cultivation, but now only these 20 people were left.
Originally, Wan Liang thought that the worst situations were just those he had encountered before. But the facts told him that he should never think that things were already the worst, because the worse might be not far ahead.
If Wan Liang had decisively escaped the moment he saw Blizzard and Ghost Nightmare, there would actually be great hope. After all, there were so many passages around them that they could have dispersed and escaped in order to survive.
However, all because of the chubby Yaoyao, they let down most of their guard. They relied on ancient jade to firmly attract them here.
Yaoyao doesn't even need to worry about not taking the bait. If it were anyone else in the far north ice field, facing so many dangers before, when "hope" appears, they would be desperate to catch it.
This seemingly harmless young man has a very accurate grasp of people's hearts. He has no choice but to grit his teeth and try to get the "ancient jade".
The cultivation of these people was only slightly released. The strength of Yu Nianqi made Wan Liang no longer have any thoughts of resistance. However, after hesitating, he glanced at the warriors behind him and several other city lords, and then stood up straight
Kneel down on the ground.
"Senior masters, I beg you to let us live. When the Nether Clan invaded, we in Beizhou fought tooth and nail to resist, and that's why we are now venturing to the far north ice fields to hunt for treasures.
It's all our fault that our minds were temporarily blinded by greed. We are willing to pay any price, we just ask you to give us a way out."
When Wan Liang came to the end of his words, he had already started to kowtow respectfully. The other Beizhou warriors around him had already knelt down at this time, and then they all started to kowtow as well.
When Si Mantuo and Zhen You saw this scene, they frowned subconsciously. They both belonged to the grassland people, so they believed that "killing people can only be done with a nod", and they couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted at this time.
However, the two of them soon discovered that Han Bing was subconsciously looking at Blizzard, but Blizzard shook his head slightly.
Si Mantuo and Zhen You subconsciously looked at Huan Kong again, but they still remembered that Zuo Feng had great respect for this man who didn't seem to have strong cultivation.
Huan Kong had been standing silently in the team, with an expression on his face that was calm and even calmer than Blizzard. It seemed that he couldn't see it at all. There was a group of people kneeling in front of him, so naturally he didn't care about these people at all.
of life and death.
After kowtowing heavily, Wan Liang's face became obviously more and more ugly. They hoped that Blizzard and others would be soft-hearted and allow them to survive.
Now I find that although some of them seem to have some ideas, the person in charge in the end is not moved at all, and their prayers are completely meaningless.
A hint of bitterness appeared on his face, and he hurriedly knelt down, adjusted his body slightly, and turned to the ghost path.
"Seniors of Oni Mandrill Pavilion, we promise to act in accordance with your orders and never dare to make any mistakes. I only ask that you have a kind heart and never use Dark Soul-Eating Insects.
It is said that it is very easy to implant this 'soul-eating worm' into the body, but it is very difficult to take it out, so we don't want to trouble you."
"Hahaha..." Guiying laughed and said, "You don't want to cause trouble to me... You are worried that I will be too lazy to help you take it out in the end? You don't need to worry about this."
After a pause, I originally thought that Guiyi would say something to comfort Wan Liang and the others, but in the end Guiyi said directly: "Because there is no point in worrying about you, life and death are no longer in your hands.
What qualifications do you have to negotiate terms here? The prerequisite for bargaining is capital, do you...have it?"
Everyone, including Wan Liang, looked extremely sad at this time. Of course they understood what the ghost in front of them said was true, but they did not expect that he would take everything so "naturally".
"We have made contributions to Kunxuan Continent, shed blood and fought with our lives to deal with the Netherworld Beast!" Wan Liang said with some unwillingness to give up.
But Guiying smiled and shook his head and said: "That's just a coincidence. If the Nether Beast had not come to Fengtian Emperor Beizhou, wouldn't you have fought risklessly?"
Without giving the other party a chance to continue talking, Guiyu already said to himself: "Children only distinguish between right and wrong, adults only want to see the pros and cons.
No matter who you were and what you have done, we need you now. This is the only possibility for you to survive, and it is also your only value now.
There are three choices before you. One is to kill yourself in front of me now. The second choice is to fight with us. Of course, you will be forcibly planted into soul-eating insects in the end. The last one is relatively simple, and I strongly recommend to you.
The recommended option is to obediently let me plant the soul-eating worms into your bodies."
The eyes of everyone in Wanliang were full of despair at this time. It was only then that they truly understood the reality and how ridiculous their previous prayers were.
As their eyes flickered between bright and dark, Wan Liang and the other city lords' fighting spirit that burst out in an instant gradually wavered, and they repeatedly weighed in their hearts whether they should fight desperately at the moment.
But in the end Wan Liang couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and the others felt sad. They finally made a helpless choice, and Gui Ni gave him the last option.
