Ling Li left Enshan City and flew straight towards Langshan.

The scenery outside became more and more desolate, with only a vast white area left between the world. However, along several small river valleys, there were also several reclamation barriers, which were not particularly desolate.

That night, Ling Li flew in the moonlight like a night owl for three hours, and plunged into the wilderness north of the Black Mountains.

The Langshan Mountains to the Yinshan Mountains run across the east and west, forming a southern barrier between the eastern region and the Tangwu Plateau in the northern region.

Due to the catastrophe, the Tangwu Plateau traverses tens of thousands of kilometers, isolating the eastern continent from the northern ice field where the northern Lieyun Empire is located. The transportation between the eastern region and the northern ice field is only two narrow corridors, Dajinshan, the western Dajinshan and the eastern Hushan.

"It's here." After flying over the Black Mountains, Ling Li landed on a snowy field. He used his spiritual sense to sweep the surroundings and felt several dangerous auras within a radius of several kilometers.

This made him feel something was wrong. The territory of high-level strange beasts is very large, usually about dozens of kilometers. Now, within a range of only a few kilometers, there are seven or eight or seventh-level strange beasts, and the number of strange beasts on the snow field is far more than usual.

What happened that caused the strange beasts on the Tangwu Plateau to leave the gathering place in winter and run to the south?

Is it because of snow disaster?

However, the weather conditions this year are not much different from those in previous years.

After thinking for a little while, Ling Li summoned the guards of the Witch Demon clan from the trial space.

This time he brought only the extraordinary powerhouses of the Lieshan clan, the Shentu clan and the Sang clan.

The Lishan clan remained in the Jiuxuan Space area. After obtaining the industry of several cities from Xuanji Sect, most of the Mengshan clan and Jing clan were in the wilderness and were responsible for the construction and safety of Qingtang Mountain City.

Ling Li has little knowledge and combat experience for the strange beasts on the snow field.

It is already dawn, but it is still dark in the early morning of winter.

After Li Shanqing and Dan Tai Yingge came out of the trial space, they immediately stood beside Ling Li and then observed the situation around them vigilantly.

"There are many strange beasts in this area." She said to Ling Li.

Ling Li nodded: "The high-level alien beasts pose too much threat to humans. Everyone starts to clean up the alien beasts above the seventh level after dawn and try to catch them alive."

There seems to be a guard post on the top of a mountain nearby. Generally, beast tides occur in summer, so after winter, the guards have retreated to the south of the mountain and no one is left behind.

Everyone came to this post.

The outpost is not big, there is only a three-story reinforced concrete watchtower, surrounded by bluestone walls outside.

The wall is built against the mountain, not very high, only about ten meters.

At the foot of the mountain where the outpost is located, there is an ice-cold river flowing by. Due to the need for view, the mountain has rugged rocks and not very lush vegetation, mainly shrubs.

Li Shanqing looked up at the sky, then ordered people to open the locked bunker door and clean it out.

Shentumi released a flame, like a stove, which quickly increased the temperature in the cold room.

A conference room was soon decorated in the large room on the second floor. In addition to the guards around, Ling Li summoned all the personnel to discuss the action plan after dawn.

Everyone was wearing combat uniforms in the Western Qin Mansion style, which looked a bit like an army.

"There are many beast groups gathering nearby. We can clear this beast group, which is also a way to train troops." Elder Lieshan said first. He is burly and has a beard on his face. He looks more like a grassland man from the Lieyun Empire.

"We only clean up the alien beasts above the sixth level. These alien beasts are too harmful. The others are left to the garrison and the personnel who come to train." Ling Li said, "Now we are mainly to figure out what happened in the north. It seems that even most hibernating beasts have come over. The group of beasts gathered here is very large and a large army needs to be dispatched to encircle and suppress the wolves." Li Sifeng said. "The wolf pack is very cunning. When surrounding and suppressing the wolves, many tactics will be used."

"Can you hunt by the way?" Elder Shentu asked excitedly.

"Well... try to capture it as much as possible, and then tame it in the trial space. These alien beast materials are very useful and cannot be fished in the dry pond." Ling Li thought for a while and said, and he marked the mark on the map with a marker. "Cleaning high-level alien beasts is just a matter of doing it. Our main task is to continue to go deep into the hinterland of the Tangnu Snow Field. Those powerful alien beasts have strong abilities to perceive dangers, so they are not in a hurry to start. They need to find out their range of activities and slowly close the net from a distance."

...

While Lingli was laying out the arrangement to clean up the alien beasts.

The Arctic Icefield.

It is the extreme night season, and the climate on the ice fields is extremely harsh, with blizzards raging from time to time.

The sky was dark, the earth was covered with thick snow, and there was a vast white area everywhere.

To the north of the Tangnu Plateau and the southern end of Beihai Lake, a huge ice city stands majestic, covered with silver everywhere, and even the tall city walls are shiny, shining with the light blue light of ice, as if they were made of huge ice bricks.

Hanhai City is the capital of Lieyun Kingdom. The largest building complex in this imperial city is not the imperial city, but Chengtian Temple. Chengtian Temple is a super sect in the northern ice field. The king of the Lieyun Empire is not hereditary, but was born in Chengtian Temple. Therefore, this Yanmen Temple is the owner and manager of this empire. One sect governs a country, and Chengtian Temple controls the secular power of this country, formulates laws and maintains order.

In the entire Eastern Continent, Chengtian Temple is also one of the super sects.

The Northern Snowfield only has a frost-free period of five months a year, and the land is vast and sparsely populated. This place is full of ice and snow. On this white land, there is abundant precipitation, fertile land, and lush vegetation. The Lieyun Empire is vast in area, but the population is not large. Most of them live in a narrow area between the Tangnu Plateau and the Arctic Iceland. Its total population is only more than 7 million, which is even smaller than the number of second-level prefectures in the Eastern Region Federation.

Hanhai City is located on a mountain range like a dragon in the southwest of Beihai Lake, built along the mountain. The city walls around the city are tall and thick, stretching for dozens of kilometers, like a giant silver snake and beast entrenched. At the four corners of the city, there are four huge barracks, each barracks like a town.

Chengtian Temple is located at the highest point of the entire city. Most of the temples are made of basal ice crystal rocks, crystal clear, and look very much like a crystal city in a fairy tale, overlooking this city with a population of nearly one million.

A nine-story tower on the top of Chengtian Temple Mountain is nearly fifty meters high, like a crystal jade pillar that penetrates straight into the sky.

On the top of the nine-story tower, an old monk wearing a big red monk's robe and a bright yellow robe stood by the window, staring at the turbulent sky in the north, without saying a word for a long time.

The sky burned like fire, rendering the entire earth a blood-red color.

A burst of roar came faintly from the void, as if the heaven and earth had collapsed.

In the temple, a strong man in armor hurried in and climbed into the top room of the tower.

After the bald man entered the room, the old monk stood in front of the window, did not turn around, but just whispered and asked, "Have you figured it out?"

The man put his hands together, bowed and said, "Master, the heaven and earth are shaking, the demon formation appears in the sky, and all beasts are terrified, and even the polar ice bear is fleeing south."

"The demon star appears and the blood clouds appear, which is very similar to the scene before the catastrophe... The demon is about to come to the world, and I am afraid the disaster will come again!" The old monk looked at the blood clouds rolling in the northern sky and sighed.

"A lot of demon insects have already invaded from the cracks in the void and are gathering on the extreme Arctic ice fields. These demon insects are preying on fish and beasts in the sea, and seem to be evolving by sucking flesh and blood..." The man said in a deep voice, with a serious face.

"Three hundred years ago, the source energy began to recover. During the catastrophe, my master became one of the first practitioners on the mainland with his Vajra Secret Art. He and his fellow disciples managed to protect a few people in the north to survive the catastrophe. This made the Lieyun Empire today. I followed my servants and saw many tragic scenes during the catastrophe..."

"What should I do? Let's gather the people and lean on the city to defend against it?" asked the big man.

"Doing this is equivalent to suicide..." the old monk shook his head and said, "Invasion of another world is much crueler than everyone imagined. At the beginning, a side slaughter may occur. The three secret realms controlled by Chengtian Temple can only accommodate more than 100,000 people. Most people are still powerless in safety, so everyone should evacuate first..."

"In this case, will the Lieyun Empire and the sect foundation be over?" asked the man, with a little shocked face. Chengtian Temple rose during the catastrophe period and had been operating in the northern snowfield for nearly two hundred years. It has countless industries under its name. Most of the big families in various places are also subordinates of Chengtian Temple. But now the spiritual pillar of the Dragon Zhi Dharma King said he was going to evacuate?

However, the current situation is indeed very critical. Apart from evacuation, they cannot think of a good solution. This is an unprecedented catastrophe and there is nowhere to hide.

But where should millions of people in the Lieyun Empire go?

"If you stay here, you will not worry about making a comeback in the future. Over the years, Chengtian Temple has purchased a large number of industries in Fengzhou, Yunzhou, Bingzhou and Youzhou, which means leaving a way out for the future. In addition, in recent decades, the Qin Mansion in Yongzhou has become increasingly powerful, and in fact, it is safer when facing disasters..." Master Longzhi said.

"Isn't it possible in the Northern Yan Kingdom?" the big man asked again.

"Fearless, although our sect is easier to develop when he goes to Hei Shui Beiyan, the Northern Yan Kingdom is still limited in strength. When facing this catastrophe of heaven and earth, it may be difficult for oneself to protect itself... You still don't look at the problem for a long time. You should recite the Heart Sutra more often than not devote your main energy to practicing Vajra Tantra."

"Yes, I respect the master's teachings." The fearless man said respectfully with his hands folded.
