As for why Bai Che smiled, it was for no other reason than seeing a few drunkards.
Naturally, the drunkards also saw Bai Che, and their anxious hearts were finally relieved. They saw the hall collapse just now, and they were really worried that Bai Che would also disappear with the collapse of the hall.
"What happened to you in the past month? Why don't you get any information?" the drunkard asked, with no sadness or joy in his voice.
A month? Yes, in reality, it was only a short month. Bai Che was in a daze. He had spent eight years and eight months practicing swordsmanship in the secret realm. This was the time he had actually spent.
"Guys, long time no see." Bai Che smiled.
"Actually, it's not that long." The little silver-haired girl Piaoxue curled her lips and said, "Isn't it just a month?"
Hearing this, Bai Che smiled, flicked Piaoxue's forehead, and said, "Why, a month is not long yet? How much do you hope that I won't come back?"
"Hmph, it's best if you don't come back. That way, I can regain my freedom." Piaoxue said dissatisfiedly.
Bai Che shook his head and said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't force you to do anything. Whether you go or stay is entirely up to your own will. You can leave at any time, and I won't stop you."
"Really?" Piaoxue looked in disbelief.
"Really." Bai Che nodded, his expression serious, not like he was joking.
"I...I am willing to admit defeat. I will follow you first, and then I will leave after draining you dry." Piaoxue turned her head to the side and said.
Bai Che was a little ashamed. What the hell is squeezing dry? Little girl, you can't say it like this. Those who know it mean squeezing, and those who don't know think...
Bai Che rubbed his dizzy head and said, "Go, go, let's cool down."
Then, Bai Che looked at the drunkard and Liu Yu and said, "Nothing happened to me. I just had another adventure, and I have a better chance of winning against the devil."
Hearing Bai Che's answer, the drunkards nodded.
Bai Che looked at a few more people and asked, "Has anything else happened in the outside world during my absence?"
"Other things?" The drunkards recalled and thought about it. After a moment, they shook their heads and said, "Nothing happened."
"In this case, it's time for us to leave this trial place." Bai Che said, "Perhaps, there will be a cruel battle next, and we will face the devil directly."
Hearing this, the drunkards looked solemn, and then faced the devil directly, which was something they had never dared to imagine before.
But now, but...
"I still say the same thing, you may die next. You..." Bai Che hesitated, he wanted the drunkards and others to leave.
But Liu Yu interrupted Bai Che's words and said solemnly: "Young Master, you don't need to say more, we all understand."
"Hey, aren't you going to get that knife? Have you got it?" Piaoxue suddenly asked.
Piaoxue's words made Drunkard, Liu Yu and others wake up from a dream. Yes, they always felt like something was missing. It turned out to be the "Heaven Covering Blade".
"I'll take action, so there'll be no problem." Bai Che replied with a smile.
"Really? Got it?" The drunkards were surprised.
"That's right." Bai Che nodded, "The Sky Covering Blade has become one with me. This is one of my adventures this time."
"Young Master is worthy of being a Young Master. He can always easily accomplish things that are difficult for us and others." Liu Yu said with a smile.
"Liu Laomiao praised it." Bai Che smiled, "Let's go, let's leave the trial place first. On the way, I will discuss the precautions with you in detail."
Several people nodded and headed in the direction they came from.
Due to the collision of the trial areas, there were great deviations in many locations. Many teleportation arrays also had problems and could not be used. They had to explore the path in the endless snow.
Fortunately, there was falling snow, so she could summon the snow spirit. Just like that, after asking and exploring all the way, she finally found the right path. At their current speed, it would take about three months to walk.
Bai Che told many things to pay attention to during the journey, especially that most of the Xueku Demon God has been sealed. Now, the Xueku Demon God's strength is only 30% of its original strength at most, which is an excellent opportunity.
Of course, you can't take it lightly just because you only have three levels of original strength. After all, that's the Demon God.
"In short, Demon God Xueku is difficult to deal with. Now, she has probably possessed someone in Shuofeng Village. Therefore, the words of the people in Shuofeng Village cannot be trusted." Bai Che reminded: "Mr. Liu, don't do it because you are I know that this is not very friendly to you, but we can only win the final victory if we are careful every step of the way."
"Young Master, don't worry, we...understand." Liu Yu and the others nodded, but their expressions were a little solemn.
Seeing this, Bai Che nodded. After a moment, Bai Che asked: "Who do you think the Demon God Xueku is most likely to possess?"
"If she wants to regain her strength, then she will definitely need a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, which will be conducive to the recovery of her strength." The drunkard thought for a moment and then said: "I think he must be the most powerful person in Shuofeng Village. "
"Mr. Jiu said exactly what I wanted to say." Bai Che smiled: "If I were the Demon God Xueku, I would definitely possess Hanxue Ningyan or stay by his side. Therefore, before we step out to try The moment we reach the refining place, we are in danger."
"Proceed with caution."
...
Three months later, Bai Che and others came to a collapsed teleportation array that looked like it could no longer be used.
Bai Che frowned, and after going forward to check, he found that the power of teleportation was still retained, and Bai Che breathed a sigh of relief.
After some fiddling with it, the teleportation array was activated again, and Bai Che and the others stepped in. Not long after, Bai Che and the others appeared at the star observatory in Shuofeng Village.
It was very dark, and as soon as they came out of the teleportation array, Bai Che and the others felt a sense of the end of the world.
At this moment, strong winds were raging in Shuofeng Village, and large tracts of snowflakes were falling. Trees, boulders, etc. were also swept up into the sky by the strong wind, flying together with the snowflakes in the air.
Looking down from the observatory, the entire Shuofeng Village is covered in snow. The height of the snow on the road has reached the same level as the window sill on the first floor, and the snow is still piling up.
This made Bai Che and the others stunned. They had never encountered such a heavy snowstorm before. It was really scary.
Bai Che repeatedly called out the "Bafang Immortal Mansion" and hid in it to temporarily avoid the wind and snow.
...
"This wind and snow is really scary." Zhang Bei sighed in the pavilion, "I have lived for so many years and I have never seen such a wind and snow. It's so damn scary."
"I feel a trace of magic in this wind and snow." Bai Che said.
"Young Master, you mean..." Liu Yu's eyes moved.
"That's right." Bai Che nodded, "I'm afraid, this snowstorm is related to Demon God Xueku."
"If it has something to do with Demon God Xueku, then this snowstorm won't stop for a while." The drunkard said, "What are your plans?"
"After traveling for such a long time, let's take a good rest first." Bai Che thought for a moment and then said: "I want to find out first why the Demon God Xueku caused such a heavy snowstorm."
"Actually..." Piaoxue suddenly said, "I seem to know..."
Bai Che's expression changed and he looked at Piaoxue.
Piaoxue was startled and said repeatedly: "I think she may be making ice puppets."
"Ice puppet?" Everyone was stunned, and then they seemed to understand something.
Piaoxue is right. The most likely reason for Demon God Xueku to create wind and snow is to make ice puppets.
The materials for making ice puppets are the villagers of Shuofeng Village.
The expressions of Liu Yu, Guan Hong, and Zhang Bei changed drastically.
"Young Master..." Liu Yu and others started to speak, but stopped talking.
"I know you are worried about the villagers of Shuofeng Village, and I am worried too, but the wind and snow outside are so heavy now that we can hardly move. All we can do is wait for the wind and snow to subside before making any plans." Bai Che comforted.
"Besides, this snowstorm has been going on for who knows how long. It's useless for us to go out now. We might as well think about how to rescue the villagers who were turned into ice puppets." Bai Che said.
Liu Yu and the others sighed, that was all.
"Okay, let's go and rest first and recharge our batteries." Bai Che waved his hand and left the pavilion.
He was going to take a look at Xuan Lei Daoshen and Bai Xue, but he hadn't seen them for more than eight years.
After a while, Bai Che saw a figure exactly like him, and a snow-white fox.
It was Xuan Lei Daoshen and Bai Xue.
At this moment, Xuan Lei was basking in the sun and taking a nap. Bai Xue was clinging to him and basking in the sun. It was very pleasant.
"Tao Shen." Bai Che spoke. , looked up and down, and said to himself: "She must be a little girl."
"Hey, Master? What a rare visitor. What brought you here?" Xuan Lei Daoshen asked with a smile.
Bai Che was speechless for a while and said, "This seems to be my fairy mansion. Also, haven't we seen each other in a few months?"
"Main body, is there a possibility that the passage of time inside is ten times that of the outside world?" Xuan Lei Dao Shen reminded.
"Oh, that's right..." Bai Che was stunned. The passage of time in the "Bafang Immortal Mansion" was ten times that of the outside world. In other words, he had been away for several months and was in the "Bafang Immortal Mansion". Just a few years passed.
"No wonder this little guy has grown up so much." Bai Che hugged Bai Xue and said, "It's also a lot heavier."
"Huh? This little guy has already reached the soul-casting stage?" Bai Che was a little surprised, "This cultivation speed is much faster than mine."
"Yes, Master, if you don't work hard, you will have to rely on Bai Xue to protect you in a while." Xuan Lei Daoshen joked.
"Um..." Bai Che was speechless for a moment, paused, and said: "Let's not talk about me first, but you. You seem to be a little free now. Your cold power has not recovered yet?"
"It can't be that easy." Xuan Lei Dao Shen said angrily: "If you don't open the pot, pick it up. The Snow Yin Grass is not mature yet, how can I recover?"
"Haha, that's right." Bai Che said, "It's okay. It should be fine after a while."
"I don't know who it is for?" Xuan Lei said resentfully.
"What's the difference between us?" Bai Che said shamelessly, "I'll go to the medicine field first to take a look."
With that said, Bai Chefei came to the medicine field.
Xuan Lei shook his head and followed Bai Che to the medicine field.
The medicine field is well taken care of by Xuan Lei Dao Shen and is full of vitality.
The snow shade grass is growing vigorously, exuding the power of the severe cold, and the ice fruit tree has also produced small fruits, which will mature in a short time.
However, the three shriveled seeds still showed no signs of germination, but they were much more vibrant, even more vibrant than the ice fruit trees and snow shade grass.
"Main body, these three seeds are indeed strange." Xuan Lei Dao Shen said: "Although they have not sprouted, they are like living creatures. I even found that they can automatically absorb spiritual energy, well... like A breathing method."
"Huh?" Bai Che was stunned, "Tuna method? These three seeds?"
"That's right." Xuan Lei Daoshen nodded, "However, it's very subtle and I can't hear it clearly. Maybe it's not lively enough."
Bai Che nodded and said, "You should pay more attention to this matter. It may be a practice method spread from the upper world."
"I know." Xuan Lei nodded.
