834: Of the four senior figures, Cui Xian is dead.

In a humble alley.

Outside the small courtyard.

Cui Xian stood motionless, clutching his long saber.

The cold wind howled, and snow fell, covering his thin body in a layer of white. His face was red from the cold, his skin chapped, yet his eyes were incredibly resolute.

For some reason, he suddenly felt an inexplicable unease, a sensation like being stalked by a wild beast while hunting.

“...”

Cui Xian subconsciously glanced at his courtyard, his gaze growing even firmer. No matter what, he would defend this place tonight and protect Cui Tao.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

Just then, a Barbarian God Clan Expert, three meters tall and carrying four long spears on his back, appeared. His feet crunched on the snow, making a series of sounds.

“Barbarian God Clan!”

When Cui Xian saw the Barbarian God Clan Expert, his eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on his wood-chopping knife.

“I found you!”

The Barbarian God Clan Expert looked at Cui Xian, his eyes blood-red and savagely bloodthirsty.

Cui Xian was his target!

Someone from the Eastern Wasteland Dynasty had offered a good price for him to take this young man's life.

This young man seemed like an ordinary person, yet he could make an expert from the Eastern Wasteland Dynasty pay a high price, which was very peculiar.

However, that was not his concern; he only needed to kill.

“...”

Cui Xian felt the Barbarian God Clan Expert's gaze and felt his entire body go numb. His body even developed some cracks, barely able to withstand the pressure.

But he still gritted his teeth, standing with difficulty.

His sister was still inside the house, and he had to guard this place well.

“Time to go!”

The Barbarian God Clan Expert coldly shouted, taking a step forward, and a terrifying pressure erupted.

Boom!

The surrounding ice and snow instantly melted, Cui Xian's courtyard was shattered into dust, the door of the house was pulverized, and the walls cracked.

“Oh no…”

Cui Xian's face changed drastically at the sight. His sister was still inside the house; if the house completely collapsed, it would be over.

“Damn barbarian, I'll fight you to the death.”

His eyes hardened, and he immediately charged towards the Barbarian God Clan Expert with his wood-chopping knife.

“Ant!”

The Barbarian God Clan Expert looked disdainful. A long spear from his back flew into his hand, and he thrust it out violently.

Rip!

Cui Xian's chest was instantly pierced, blood gushing out and staining the ground red.

“...”

Cui Xian's eyes widened, his expression incredibly pained. This spear had directly crushed his heart, causing his life force to rapidly dissipate.

“Roar”

The Barbarian God Clan Expert held the spear and let out a roar, lifting Cui Xian.

“Brother…”

Cui Tao ran out of the house, holding a bow and arrow, tears streaming from her eyes, looking at Cui Xian in panic.

“Sister… run… quickly run…”

When Cui Xian saw Cui Tao, his pupils constricted, and he uttered a difficult sound. He wasn't afraid of death; he was afraid of Cui Tao getting hurt.

Rip!

The Barbarian God Clan Expert swung the spear, and Cui Xian's body fell to the ground, his breath gone, motionless.

“Wuwu… Brother…”

Cui Tao let out a cry, her expression incredibly sorrowful. She immediately drew her bowstring, and an arrow shot towards the Barbarian God Clan Expert.

The arrow struck his body but didn't even leave a scratch.

“Little Girl!”

The Barbarian God Clan Expert glared fiercely at Cui Tao.

He did not continue to attack but instead held his blood-stained spear and turned to leave. His mission was complete.

“Wuwu… Brother…”

Seeing the Barbarian God Clan Expert leave, Cui Tao threw down her bow and arrow and ran sorrowfully towards Cui Xian.

She frantically caressed Cui Xian, saying in a panic, “Brother… wuwu, don't scare me, wake up quickly…”

“Brother, wake up quickly, your sister is very obedient, please wake up, okay?”

“Brother, wake up quickly, we still have a lot of food.”

“Brother…”

Feathery snow fell heavily. No matter how she called, Cui Xian still did not wake up.

After an unknown amount of time.

The ice and snow covered their bodies, chilling to the bone.

“Brother, let's go home. It's warm at home, and we still have charcoal…”

Cui Tao's expression was numb, blood-tears streamed from her eyes. She laboriously pulled Cui Xian's arm, walking towards the house.

After a few steps.

Cui Tao collapsed in the deep snow.

In the shadows.

Four old men were watching.

Wang Tianming's expression was somewhat complex: “Is it really… appropriate for us to scheme against a child like this?”

“For a Grandmist Dao Body, what's wrong with sacrificing a commoner whose life is inherently cheap?”

The elder from Zhongzhou Academy said expressionlessly.

Years of planning, all for this moment.

The Grandmist Dao Body had developed emotions, and these emotions would forever be hidden in her heart.

In the future, no matter what realm she cultivated to, she would not become emotionless and merge with the Dao.

As for Cui Xian, he was just an ordinary person. To be able to assist the growth of the Grandmist Dao Body was already a blessing accumulated over several lifetimes.

Shortly after.

Uncle Wu walked out. He looked at Cui Xian, who had no breath left on the ground, his expression somewhat dim.

He had originally come to protect Cui Xian, but unfortunately, his meager strength was insufficient. The four experts had immense power and had restrained him.

“Four seniors, Cui Xian is dead… May I take his body? After all, I rescued him from a pile of dead bodies. He… he was like my child…”

Uncle Wu spoke in a hoarse voice.

In this world, the strong are revered. Some people can plan for over a decade, and countless lives can be lost for a single scheme.

And they, the weak, could change nothing. Even if they knew certain things, they could only lament in helplessness.

The elder from Zhongzhou Academy moved, appearing beside Cui Xian.

He checked and confirmed that Cui Xian's soul was gone and all life force had dissipated. He said expressionlessly, “Find him a good burial place.”

After speaking, he gently waved his hand at Uncle Wu, injecting a force into Uncle Wu's brain, erasing some of his memories.

The details of this matter had to be erased, otherwise, problems would arise later.

Of course, some things could not be hidden forever, but it didn't matter. As long as the Grandmist Dao Body could grow, everything was worth it.

“...”

Uncle Wu picked up Cui Xian and walked into the distance with a somber expression.

The elder from Zhongzhou Academy looked at Cui Tao, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

He gently waved his hand, and a soft force enveloped Cui Tao's body. He looked at the other three old men: “Three fellow Daoists, according to our previous agreement, I must take this Little Girl back to Zhongzhou Academy.”

Zhongzhou Academy was the Eastern Wasteland Dynasty's foremost academy, and many experts of the dynasty had once cultivated there.

“Naturally!”

The three venerable ones nodded slightly.

Just then, Chu Jianshi, covered in blood, walked over with difficulty. Wen Jianting and Mei Nonghan flew to her side.

The elder from Zhongzhou Academy looked at the three and smiled faintly: “Your mission this time was very well executed. The Barbarian God Clan will soon retreat. From now on, Beiliang City will have its grand formation reinforced, and you can also return to Zhongzhou Academy with peace of mind.”

These three were all disciples of his Zhongzhou Academy. They had been here for over ten years, precisely to protect Cui Tao and complete this scheme.

Chu Jianshi's eyes showed a hint of self-mockery. She said, “Jianxue suddenly thinks Beiliang City is quite good. I plan to stay and guard it.”

In a world where the strong are revered, others can casually act and decide the life and death of others, and feel at ease doing so.

She had originally thought she could be like that too, but now, she found that she couldn't seem to feel that sense of ease.

In this battle, many Snow Dragon Iron Cavalry died, and an innocent young man also died…
