High-level martial arts: Contract cashback, invincible starting from the Zerg.

"Snowstorm City is just ahead," Xiaoxue said to Chen Feng, turning her head to the side.

Chen Feng nodded.

Two kilometers ahead of the two.

An ancient fortress stands majestically, yet its outer walls faintly glow with the light of magical ice, and are inlaid with the keel of the city walls forged by the snow-covered city-state.

With the superposition of internal and external formations, the hardness of the fortress itself is increased to far exceed that of steel, while resisting extreme low temperatures and magical impacts.

The walls are several times harder than those of the Great Xia Fortress.

In the Snowstorm City, all the buildings are constructed using ice bricks and protective bricks.

The windows were made of a thin, polished gauze, allowing light to pass through while keeping out the wind. Every ten steps along the street stood an ice-ridged pillar lamp, its interior sealed with magical energy, emitting a soft silver-blue light at all times.

However, in the hundreds of square kilometers of the Snow City, most of the houses are low-rise buildings, with only a very few guilds and chambers of commerce having 3-4 story apartment buildings.

It was in no way comparable to the city lord's palace that towered against the sky in the center of the city.

That is the city's magical core, capable of releasing a magical shield that covers the entire city-state, protecting it from super blizzards and enemy attacks.

......

After Chen Feng dismounted from the ice manta ray used by the Snowstorm Cavalry.

A burly man with thick white hair immediately stepped forward. His hair was stiff and had a natural resistance to cold. It was adorned with ice crystals and animal bone ornaments, making him look extremely rugged.

"Hello, Great Xia person," the burly man greeted in a deep voice.

Chen Feng nodded slightly.

Chen Feng had only glanced at the big man once when he realized that his rank was not ordinary; he was at least at the Earth Rank.

After scanning with the Lucky Contract system, it was indeed the case.

"Uncle An, I'm entrusting the mount to you. We need to hurry to find my aunt." Xiaoxue nimbly leaped down from the ice manta ray and smiled as she handed the reins to the big man.

"Yes, Master."

Chen Feng glanced at his surroundings.

However, they noticed that Xiaoxue and the others seemed to have slightly different skin textures compared to the people around them.

The ice and snow patterns on Xiaoxue's skin were extremely faint, appearing like light watermarks floating on her skin. In contrast, the magical patterns on Amber and the other members of the Snow Clan were much more solid, as if they were carved into their skin.

Moreover, compared to the average Ice and Snow Tribe members who are around 2 meters tall, Xiaoxue and her friends are only about 1.8 meters tall.

Even their skeletal structure and muscle density show significant differences.

Xiaoxue seemed to sense Chen Feng's confusion, but she didn't say anything.

"Come on, Brother Chen Feng, I'll take you to meet your old friend."

Chen Feng withdrew his gaze and followed Xiao Xue deeper into the city.

......

Inside the city lord's palace, the floor beneath one's feet had been polished by the servants until it was as smooth as a mirror, yet it was not slippery at all.

It seems to be covered with a very thin layer of frost, and when you step on it, it has a slightly frosty texture.

Every five steps, the towering ice pillar lamps emit a silvery-blue halo, making the drifting snowflakes look like tiny stardust.

The palace maids who occasionally passed by all had long, snow-white hair tied up with a ribbon. They were all tall and upright, with faint silver-blue patterns on their bare wrists and necks.

"We're almost there, the council hall is just ahead." Xiaoxue walked briskly, her silver ponytail bouncing on her shoulders, the two small ice crystals at the ends of her hair swaying gently.

At this moment, she was completely immersed in the joy of reuniting with an old friend. She turned back to Chen Feng and smiled, "Auntie will definitely be very happy to see you. She has always said that you are the most special demon slayer she has ever met."

Chen Feng smiled calmly and said, "Alright, it's been a long time since I've seen Xue Nai either."

"Haha, okay."

As the two were talking, the corridor in front of them suddenly opened up.

A palace carved entirely from a single block of black ice stood before us.

Four guards, clad in ice and snow armor, stood on either side of the palace gate. Each of them was burly, with long hair braided into thick plaits around their necks, clear frost patterns on their bare cheeks, and the tips of their ice spears were covered with a layer of icy mist that would never melt. They all exuded the aura of Xuan-rank experts.

The ice palace doors slid open silently to both sides.

A wave of ice-type spiritual energy, even richer than that from the outside world, rushed towards us.

The hall was spacious and sparsely furnished. In the center hung a huge ice table, on which the terrain of the snow-covered city and the surrounding thousand-mile-long ice plain was clearly outlined.

A woman stood in front of the ice table, carefully examining the map.

The woman wore a snow-white robe with silver and blue trim, and her waist-length snow-white hair was neatly coiled at the back of her head, secured only by a single ice-jade hairpin.

Even just looking at her from behind, you can tell that she is tall and slender with sharp shoulder and back lines, making her even more upright than the average female member of her tribe.

The woman looked behind her.

It immediately revealed its icy blue eyes and the silver-blue frost patterns on its skin.

【Name: Silver Moon Snowslee】

[Position: Councilor of Snowstorm City-State, Lord of Snowstorm City]

[Cultivation Level: Early Heaven Rank]

[Talents: Skills: Frost Curse, Snow Rider, Eternal Frozen Domain, Absolute Zero (Divine Punishment)]

To Chen Feng's surprise, Xue Nai was already at the Heavenly Rank.

"Auntie!" Xiaoxue ran over quickly, affectionately took Xue Nai's arm, and smiled brightly, "I brought Brother Chen Feng with me!"

Xue Nai's gaze passed over Xiao Xue and landed on Chen Feng. Her icy blue eyes were calm and still, yet they carried a sense of oppression from someone who had long held a superior position.

"Chen Feng, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I am Xue Nai, a councilor of the Snowstorm City State."

Chen Feng cupped his hands and said, "Teacher Xue Nai, the last time we met was at the five-person meeting in Starfish City... It's just a pity that Starfish City may now be on the verge of collapse."

"The Lord of Starfish City is my friend. If he is in trouble, I will do everything I can to help him." Xue Nai raised her hand to the ice chair on the side of the hall, and then sat down in front of the ice table.

"But Chen Feng, why did you come here?"
