The Great Ruler: The Ice Emperor Descends, Freezing the World!

……

Inside Xuan City, the noise and bustle were deafening.

Bing Tianxiao pulled Luo Li to sit down by the window on the second floor of a tavern called "Zuiyuelou".

I casually ordered a few signature dishes, leaned against the railing with a seemingly lazy air, and glanced casually at the bustling street below.

However, beneath his seemingly casual gaze...

Two distinctly different senses of being watched had already clearly entered his perception.

In the shadows across the street, several men dressed in inconspicuous gray clothes were staring intently in the direction of the restaurant, using the stalls as cover.

"Boss, shall we make a move? Those two brats look young; they're probably scapegoats hired by Manager Wang." A man in gray lowered his voice, a glint of greed in his eyes.

The scarred man at the head of the group shook his head, his expression grim: "Don't rush."

That guy was really weird. When we entered the city, I only glanced at the woman once, and I felt like I was being stared at by a ferocious beast. My back was covered in cold sweat.

These two are definitely not ordinary students.

He paused for a moment: "I have already notified the Black Nether Elder in the Chamber of Commerce. He happens to be in the vicinity of Xuan City on business."

Once he arrives, those two brats won't be able to escape. Now, keep a close eye on them and don't let them get away!

……

In a corner of the restaurant lobby, a gaunt man wearing a black cloak and exuding a nauseating stench of blood was pouring himself a drink.

His pair of murky, yet sinister triangular eyes.

He was peering greedily through the gaps in the cloak at Luo Li's stunningly beautiful back.

Then it landed on the gleaming badge of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy on their chests.

"Hehe...a student from the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy..."

The gaunt man stuck out his scarlet tongue, licked his chapped lips, and let out a chilling low laugh:

"These two guys must have a high status in the academy, and they must have a lot of treasures on them."

"I was just worried about being short of money lately, but unexpectedly, two fat sheep were delivered to my door."

As long as it's done cleanly, who will know it was me who did it?

Kuya's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and the wine glass in his hand silently turned into a pile of powder.

If the mentor who assigned the mission were here, he would recognize him at a glance as the eleventh most wanted person on the list!

A special list from the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy's Mission Hall.

Wanted List!

The people on the list are all infamous for their ferocity; they are all guys who have killed students from the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy!

……

Above the second floor.

Bing Tianxiao picked up a piece of braised beef and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, he smiled indistinctly at Luo Li:

"Luo Li, it seems we're destined to have a lot of free time this time."

Luo Li was elegantly sipping her tea, and upon hearing this, she didn't even lift her eyelids, simply saying indifferently, "A few mice?"

"Two groups."

Bing Tianxiao held up two fingers, his eyes revealing the excitement of a hunter spotting his prey:

"One group is eyeing the broken bracelet in our arms; they're probably rivals of that chamber of commerce."

"As for the other group..."

His gaze drifted almost imperceptibly to the man in black robes in the corner downstairs, a chilling killing intent flashing in his eyes:

"We don't know who they are, but their intent to kill us is definitely strong!"

Luo Li put down her teacup.

She tilted her head slightly.

"Where can we resolve this?"

For Luo Li, it doesn't matter who the enemy is, where they come from, or why they came.

The important thing is that they blocked the way and had murderous intent.

Since that's the case, the only option is to kill it with a single sword strike.

Looking at the decisive and ruthless girl in front of him, Bing Tianxiao's smile deepened.

He reached out and gently grasped Luo Li's soft hand on the table, giving it a soothing touch.

"Don't rush, my goddess Luo."

He grinned and placed a rather exquisite-looking pastry on Luo Li's plate:

"We've only just entered the city, we haven't even had a chance to explore yet. This Xuan City is so prosperous, it would be a shame not to see more of it."

As Bing Tianxiao spoke, he picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, squinting his eyes with a look of enjoyment:

"As for those rats... let them keep an eye on them. We're not in a hurry anyway."

"Let's just stroll around, they can keep an eye on things. This mission is just a side job; the main purpose is to help you relax. If we start fighting now, wouldn't this nice mood be ruined?"

As Luo Li looked at his carefree demeanor, the coldness in her eyes gradually dissipated.

Instead, a sense of helplessness prevailed.

"what ever."

She responded softly, letting Bing Tianxiao hold her hand, picked up her chopsticks, and elegantly savored the pastry.

Since he said there's no rush, then there's no rush.

The two then strolled along the cobblestone street.

I strolled from the east side of the city to the west, sampling all sorts of snacks, and even went to see a variety show that is said to be unique to the area.

The two groups of "rats," one black and one gray, that followed were like dogs being walked, being walked all day long.

Until the sun sets and night falls, dawn breaks once more.

Having had enough fun, Bing Tianxiao finally stretched and yawned, smacking his lips with a hint of lingering satisfaction.

"That's about it. That's all there is to Xuan City. Let's get some sleep and head to Jiuling City tomorrow."

Nothing happened that night.

the next day.

The two left Xuan City at a leisurely pace, heading towards their mission destination, Jiuling City.

After leaving the city, the surrounding scenery gradually became desolate.

A winding mountain road stretches across the mountains like a giant python.

With steep cliffs on both sides, the road, barely wide enough for two carriages to pass side by side, felt particularly oppressive.

This is the only way to Jiuling City, and it is called "One Line Sky".

It is also an ideal place for murder and robbery.

Bing Tianxiao and Luo Li had just reached the halfway point of the mountain path.

A cold wind suddenly swept through the once quiet valley.

Swish swish!

Several whooshing sounds suddenly rang out.

A dozen or so figures dressed in gray robes swooped down from the cliffs on both sides like ghosts, instantly blocking any escape routes in front or behind.

The one leading them was the same scarred man from before.

Beside him stood an old man dressed in a black robe, exuding a chilling aura.

"Gentlemen, now that you're here, why the rush to leave?"

The scarred man said calmly:

"If you know what's good for you, hand over what the Nine Spirits Merchant Guild asked you to escort, and we'll let you go."

In fact, if these two hadn't been students of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy, he would have attacked them directly.

The old man in black robes didn't speak, but simply stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the two of them indifferently, as if they were two lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

A powerful spiritual pressure belonging to the late stage of the Fusion Realm slowly emanated from his body, enveloping the entire valley.

Faced with this sudden encirclement.

Bing Tianxiao sighed, looking at the group of gray-clad men as if they were a bunch of idiots:

"Hey you guys, with so many batches of these things, why did you specifically choose us?"

As he spoke, he tossed the storage bag in his hand:

"The item is right here, but I'm afraid you don't have the ability to take it."

Before he could finish speaking...

Luo Li, who had been standing quietly beside him, didn't even bother to utter a single word of nonsense.

Clang!

A clear, melodious sword cry suddenly resounded throughout the valley.

The Luoshen Sword was already half an inch out of its sheath, and an incomparably sharp sword aura soared into the sky, instantly tearing apart the oppressive aura created by the black-robed old man!

A reading feast: a vast collection of books and an unparalleled reading experience.
