The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and several guards stationed not far from the balcony were constantly on guard.
The low temperature of minus 20 degrees is nothing to the warriors in the pulse condensation stage. As long as they circulate their true energy, they can dispel the cold air. But those maids and servants are suffering. They have no cultivation. In such an icy world,
Standing in the cold wind, I soon started shivering from the cold.
However, the rules of the United Chamber of Commerce are very strict. Although they are freezing, they dare not stamp their feet and rub their hands to keep warm.
At this time, several maids came over carrying grapes and desserts. Their faces were red from the cold, and the plates were already covered with snow.
Wei Yi checked the fruits and snacks, nodded, and motioned for them to send them over. But the moment he waved his hand, his body stiffened suddenly, and he looked at the waterside pavilion not far away in disbelief.
The balcony is already empty!
"Where is this... sir?"
"Huh?" Wei Er and Wei San were also confused when they heard the reputation passed.
"What's going on!?"
The four guards panicked, spread out their movements and ran over, only to see that Ouyang Dihua had disappeared from the tower, and Zhang Fengxian fell to the side, his life or death unknown.
At this moment, several guards felt an inexplicable chill in their hearts. They were guarding here, how could something like this happen?
"Where is Mr. Ouyang? He was kidnapped, or..."
Wei Yi finished half of his words and did not continue. The other three people were shocked. If Ouyang Dihua died, they would also face severe punishment from Qixuan Valley!
Wei Yi stretched out his hand to check that Zhang Fengxian was breathing. He was still breathing. He opened his eyelids and took a look. Wei Yi suddenly took a deep breath. His eyeballs had disappeared, leaving only the whites of his eyes!
"Quickly... report it to Wu Mansion quickly, and use the long-distance information transmission array to inform the chief sect. Something happened to Mr. Ouyang!"
In fact, Qixuan Valley learned the news the moment Ouyang Dihua died. Important figures in the sect such as Ouyang Dihua would have their own corresponding natal jade tablets.
Once a person dies, no matter how far away the jade plaque is, it will shatter into pieces.
The disciple guarding the jade tablet room was slightly startled when he heard the sound of the jade tablet breaking. He looked at the jade tablet number and lit a transmission talisman.
At this time, in a cave in the back mountain of Qixuan Valley, a middle-aged man wearing black training clothes was sitting quietly cross-legged. His hair was spread loosely. His long hair was black and white, hanging down to his waist.
His face was as cold as a rock carving. As he circulated his true energy and practiced martial arts, faint ghost cries came from his body. Waves of cold air came from his body, and quickly spread on the ground around him.
A layer of ice formed.
This person is none other than Ouyang Dihua's uncle, Ouyang Boyan, who is also the elder of the Hehuan Sect in the Qixuan Valley and an early Xiantian master.
"call!"
A ball of flame burned in front of Ouyang Boyan's eyes, and the message from the deacon of the Jade Card Room sounded in Ouyang Boyan's mind.
"What!?" Ouyang Boyan opened his eyes suddenly. The cold light in his eyes was wanton, "Who killed my nephew!"
The next moment, Ouyang Boyan turned into a phantom and rushed out of the cave. In an instant, he arrived at the jade card room. The deacon of the jade card room was already waiting here. He held a tray with both hands, and placed Ouyang Dihua's natal jade card on the plate.
, at this time, a clear crack appeared on the jade plaque, proving that Ouyang Dihua was dead.
"No matter who it is that dares to kill my nephew, I will make his life worse than death, and the whole family will pay for it!"
Ouyang Boyan's eyes were full of evil spirits. Twenty years ago, Ouyang Boyan had not yet achieved his innate breakthrough. When he and Ouyang Dihua's father went out on a mission, they were hunted down. The two fought to the death, and Ouyang Dihua's father died.
, but also severely injured his opponent, so Ouyang Boyan was lucky to save his life, so he always regarded Ouyang Dihua as his own son and tried his best to meet all his needs. Sometimes Ouyang Dihua did something to offend the powerful people in the secular world because of his lust.
Ouyang Boyan also helped his nephew suppress all the matters.
The Qixuan Valley is not monolithic. Each of the seven branch sects is in charge of their own affairs. Due to the differences in their cultivation methods, their personal temperaments are also very different. As the saying goes, people with different paths do not work together. The relationship between the seven elders
It's really not that good, not even the Master of Qixuan Valley can command them.
Although Hehuan Sect is affiliated to Qixuan Valley, it is not restricted at all. As the elder of Hehuan Sect, Ouyang Boyan has great power. With his protection, Ouyang Dihua can do almost anything he wants.
Ouyang Boyan protected his nephew like this, but now, he is dead! This touched Ouyang Boyan's anger. He was too embarrassed to see his elder brother.
"Prepare the Divine Wind Eagle, I'm going to Tianyun Kingdom!" Ouyang Boyan ordered coldly. He had made up his mind that even if Tianyun Kingdom was turned upside down, he would still find the murderer of his nephew!

Tianyun City, Bai family——
The Bai family in Tianyun City has served as officials in the court for generations. Every generation of the family has a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It can be said that it is a scholarly family and a century-old family.
Most members of the Bai family are literary-oriented and are responsible for compiling literature and history, reviewing memorials, and managing government affairs.
In the generation of Bai Yuanpei, the current head of the Bai family, the Bai family has reached its peak. Bai Yuanpei became the first scholar at the age of twenty-five, and became a minister of the second rank at the age of forty-five.
However, in the Tianyun Kingdom, which values martial arts over literature, the number one scholar who comes out every three years is far less glorious than the first place in the Qixuanwu Mansion exam, which comes out every six months, and the prime minister of the court is not as powerful as the top ten generals.
Therefore, the Bai family has not always had a very prominent position in Tianyun City.
However, when it came to the generation of Bai Yuanpei's grandchildren, something unexpected happened. Bai Jingyun, Bai Yuanpei's granddaughter, actually had an astonishing fourth-grade talent.
Bai Jingyun's father is a scholar with no martial arts talent at all, and his mother is a third-grade talented martial artist. It is really rare for Bai Jingyun to have such a talent.
For this reason, Bai Jingyun has had a transcendent status in the family since childhood. Coupled with her beautiful appearance, she soon became the proud daughter of Tianyun Kingdom, attracting the envy and jealousy of countless girls, as well as the admiration of men.
However, when Bai Jingyun was fifteen years old, her princess-like life ended.
Ouyang Dihua, who was traveling abroad, took a fancy to Bai Jingyun's beauty and outstanding talent, and wanted to marry Bai Jingyun as her concubine.
The Bai family was unwilling, but Ouyang Dihua directly proposed marriage to the emperor, and then the emperor issued an imperial edict with golden words. How could Bai Yuanpei not obey it? Not to mention that Ouyang Dihua was more powerful than the emperor, even the emperor. She liked it.
No matter which minister's daughter he wanted to take as a concubine, the ministers would not dare to refuse. What's more, Ouyang Dihua's uncle was an elder of Qixuan Valley and had the terrifying power to depose the emperor and establish a new emperor.
So Bai Yuanpei had no choice but to agree, but Bai Jingyun's father strongly opposed it. Ouyang Dihua already had countless concubines, and marrying her daughter would be like jumping into a pit of fire!
However, no amount of opposition could change Bai Yuanpei's decision.
Bai Jingyun's father was just a frail scholar. His health was not good and he had been bedridden all year round. He happened to die suddenly at this time.
According to the tradition of the Tianyun Kingdom, after the father dies, the direct children must marry for a hundred days and observe mourning for three years. Ouyang Dihua proposes marriage instead of forcibly taking the furnace. This rule cannot be broken, so the marriage is postponed.
Already.
Now, the period of observing filial piety is about to end, but Ouyang Dihua has come to Tianyun City to become the new Seventh Mysterious Envoy of Tianyun Kingdom. This makes Bai Jingyun feel desperate. Thinking back to the time when Ouyang Dihua had not yet served as the Seventh Mysterious Envoy of Tianyun Kingdom, Bai Jingyun
The family is no longer able to resist his proposal of marriage. Now, Ouyang Dihua serves as the Qixuan Envoy, with a status equivalent to the Supreme Emperor, and Bai Yuanpei is a small minister. The results can be imagined.
Bai Jingyun hid for more than a month under the pretext of going out for training. Now she has no choice but to come back and face this inevitable fate.
She hadn't been to Wu Mansion for many days. She stayed in her room most of the time. This morning, Bai Jingyun got up to wash up, and there was a knock on the door.
"Jingyun, open the door."
It's Bai Yuanpei's voice.
Bai Jingyun sighed. She couldn't say she hated the grandfather who finally pushed her out for the benefit of the family, but she didn't have much emotion either.
Especially after her father passed away, she became even more indifferent to Bai Yuanpei.
"Come in." Bai Jingyun said calmly.
"Jingyun, why didn't you have breakfast?" Bai Yuanpei tried his best to smile kindly to hide his guilty conscience.
"No appetite."
"You always have to eat a little bit of food. I'll ask the kitchen to make some snacks for you later and have them delivered."
"No, I need to rest for a while." Bai Jingyun really didn't want to continue chatting with Bai Yuanpei today, because she knew why Bai Yuanpei came without even thinking about it.
"Well..." Bai Yuanpei coughed awkwardly, "I know, about the marriage proposal..."
"Needless to say, I understand everything." Bai Jingyun's voice was very cold. Marriage proposal is just a nice way of saying it. According to the customs of Tianyun Kingdom, men are monogamous and have multiple concubines. Generally speaking, only the wife of the Ming matchmaker can propose marriage.
It is said that taking a concubine is not considered a marriage proposal at all, and even an emperor's marriage to a concubine is not considered a marriage proposal.
She knew very well that it was impossible to expect Grandpa, a humble servant, to resist the new Seventh Mysterious Envoy.
Bai Yuanpei was choked back a sentence and could only laugh, "Well... in half a month, His Royal Highness Prince Yun, the tenth prince, will hold a banquet at his residence. Well... here is the invitation..."
Bai Yuanpei shook his head bitterly and took out a gold-plated invitation from his arms.
Bai Jingyun glanced at the post and could guess with her toes that Ouyang Dihua must be invited to Prince Yun's banquet. In the past few months, the tenth prince has been vaguely supported by Ouyang Dihua. On the other hand, His Royal Highness, because
Lin Ming left without saying goodbye, and his prestige was greatly reduced. Many forces with a wait-and-see attitude had already turned to the side of the Tenth Prince.
"I'm not going!" Bai Jingyun's voice was cold.
"Jingyun, but..."
"I said that I would observe mourning for my father for three years! Be vegetarian for three years, wear plain clothes for three years, and not marry for three years! Before that, I don't want to see Ouyang Dihua again! If you force me again, I would rather die than obey!
"
When Bai Jingyun said this, his face was full of determination, and Bai Yuanpei was shocked. If Bai Jingyun really committed suicide, he would not only lose his granddaughter, but also anger Ouyang Dihua.
He hurriedly said: "Jingyun, Jingyun, calm down. If you don't go, you won't go. I will go and report to His Highness Prince Yun..."
When Bai Yuanpei said this, a transmission talisman suddenly lit up in front of him. When he heard the message, Bai Yuanpei was stunned. Ouyang Dihua... actually... died!? (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome
