When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

The remote northernmost region, a snowy land.

"Huff~ Huff~"

The whistling wind, carrying sharp ice crystals, emitted a piercing shriek like the howling of ghosts and wolves.

The temperature here is terrifyingly low; even martial artists who are circulating their inner energy will feel a chill that penetrates to the bone.

"roar!"

It was accompanied by a deafening scream.

A Tier 3 Glacier Giant Bear collapsed with a crash, its scalding blood instantly melting large areas of ice and snow, sending up plumes of white mist.

"Phew... Phew... Finally, I've taken down that beast!"

The three trainees collapsed onto the snow, panting heavily, their faces beaming with the ecstatic joy of surviving a disaster.

"Haha, a peak third-tier giant bear! Just this crystal core alone is worth a fortune! Our teamwork this time was perfect!"

However, just as the three were excitedly preparing to dissect their prey...

"Whoosh!"

In the wind and snow, a scarlet afterimage flashed by like a ghost.

"Well……"

The smiles on the three trainees' faces froze instantly, and a thin red line appeared on their throats.

"puff!"

Immediately afterwards, three heads rolled onto the snow, and blood gushed across the pure white ice field like a fountain.

"Hehehe... What a bunch of lambs with no sense of caution."

In the wind and snow, a gaunt man shrouded in a blood-red robe slowly revealed himself.

He held two still-dripping curved blades in his hands, and greedily licked the blood splattered on the corners of his mouth.

This person is none other than Blood Butcher, the third elder of the Purple Scorpion Sect!

Blood Butcher casually ripped the storage bags off the three students, then pulled out a Soul-Tethering Jade Token that shimmered with a ghostly light from his robes.

Looking at the points of light on the jade pendant, he frowned and muttered to himself:

"The Grand Elder ordered us to gather in the Snow Region immediately, why aren't those two good-for-nothings, Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother, here yet?"

He stared at the two points of light on the jade tablet that were still circling in the forest area, and scoffed disdainfully, "Hmph! These two cunning creatures are surely trying to hunt down more prodigies so they can go back to the sect leader and claim credit!"

"But it doesn't matter, they're just two shallow-minded fools, they have no idea what real treasures are!"

He put away the jade pendant and turned to walk towards the cave of the giant glacier bear.

After shattering the thick layer of ice with a single palm strike, a wave of scorching heat rushed towards him.

At the bottom of the dark cave, there grew a strange flower that was entirely fiery red, with petals that looked like they were burning flames!

Fourth-tier spirit flower—[Crimson Snow Lotus]!

"Hahaha! It was here after all!"

Blood Butcher's eyes blazed with a greedy fervor. "This wondrous object, born of extreme cold, is priceless to those who cultivate fire-based techniques!"

He dug up the spirit flower by the roots and put it into a specially made jade box. Then, with a flicker, he transformed into a streak of blood light and sped towards the depths of the snowy region.

……

Just after Blood Butcher left.

On the vast snow-covered plain, two slender figures gracefully appeared.

On the left is a man dressed in green, carrying a three-foot-long sword, with an air of untamed freedom between his brows.

The person on the right is dressed in white, with a gentle and refined demeanor.

It was none other than Li Changsheng and Su Yu, the "Four Saints of Wujiang"!

When the two saw the terrible scene on the snow, they immediately stopped in their tracks.

"These uniforms... belong to our students from Wujiang City!"

Su Yu strode forward, looked at the three decapitated corpses, and clenched his fists tightly.

"Damn the Purple Scorpion Sect!"

Li Changsheng, who had always been indifferent to everything, also put away his cynical demeanor at this moment.

He crouched down, touched the bloodstains on the ground, and his eyes were frighteningly cold: "The blood is still warm. It looks like that beast hasn't been gone long."

"I'm going to kill him right now!"

With red eyes, Su Yu prepared to follow the trail in the wind and snow.

"stop!"

Li Changsheng grabbed his shoulder and said in a deep voice, "The snowy region is open, and the other party is a cunning assassin. If you blindly chase after them now, you'll easily fall into their ambush!"

"Are we just going to watch them die a horrible death?!"

Su Yu roared.

"The six elders of the Purple Scorpion Sect would never act alone."

"Presumably, there are other accomplices on their way to join us."

"The safest approach is for us to set up an ambush here and wait for them to run into the trap!"

Su Yu took two deep breaths, suppressing the anger in his heart, and nodded heavily.

The two immediately concealed their presence and disappeared into the thick snowdrifts around them.

I waited for about half an hour.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

A sudden tremor came from the snow on the ground.

Deep in the snowstorm, a dozen or so members of the Demonic Sect, dressed in black, were carrying a sedan chair and running wildly across the snow, their foreheads covered in sweat.

A burly man weighing nearly 300 pounds was slumped on the sedan chair!

The burly man, with his chest and breasts exposed, seemed completely oblivious to the icy snow lashing against him.

Not only did he have a clump of messy chest hair, but his stomach, which looked like it was ten months pregnant, was also bulging high, swaying wildly with the bumps of the seat.

On the left and right sides, there were two scantily clad, shivering pretty girls.

What's even more shocking is that behind the sedan chair, several female trainees with tear-streaked faces and tattered clothes were tied up with iron chains like livestock!

This person is none other than the infamous Second Elder of the Purple Scorpion Sect—"Flesh Mountain Demon" Tu Ba!

"Damn it, what a lousy place this is!"

As Tu Ba roamed freely over the two beautiful women beside him, he grumbled and complained, "The Grand Elder insisted on meeting in this godforsaken, frigid place! It's freezing me to death!"

He couldn't control his strength and squeezed the soft flesh of the woman on his left.

"Ouch! That hurts..."

The woman couldn't help but let out a soft cry of pain.

This shout instantly enraged Tu Ba, who was already displeased.

"You filthy bitch, it's your good fortune that I'm touching you, what are you yelling about?!"

A fierce glint flashed in Tu Ba's eyes, and he slapped Tu Ba hard across the face.

"Second Elder, spare my life! This servant knows..."

Before the woman could finish her terrified pleas for mercy, a crisp "crack" rang out, and Tu Ba snapped her slender neck, then casually kicked the corpse off the sedan chair like trash.

After killing people, Tu Ba acted as if he had only done a trivial thing.

He licked his lips, turned his fat head, and stared at the several female students who were tied up behind him with a pair of lewd and violent small eyes.

"Tsk tsk tsk, these young girls from the academy are quite pretty. Once I get there and finish my business, I'll definitely have a good time playing with them! Hahaha!"

Just as Tu Ba was laughing wildly!

"Buzz!!!"

A piercing sword cry suddenly erupted from the void!

A dazzling azure sword aura, as bright as the blazing sun, shot out from the snowdrift to the side like an angry dragon tearing through the wind and snow, heading straight for Tu Ba's enormous head!

"Um?!"

Tu Ba's small eyes instantly flashed with a sharp light.

In the nick of time, he grabbed the maid beside him and used her as a shield.

"Pfft!"

Before the woman could even scream, she was instantly torn into a bloody mess by the sharp sword energy!

"Bang!"

The sedan chair crashed onto the snow, and more than a dozen men in black were thrown off their feet by the overflowing sword energy.

"Where did this brat come from!"

Tu Ba stood up.

He pulled out a butcher's knife as big as a door with his other hand, his fat face trembling with rage as he let out a brutal roar:

"Are you tired of living? How dare you lay a hand on your Grandpa Butcher?!"
