Chapter 41: The Tianhe Sect! Third Update

  Tang Lin immediately picked up these martial arts manuals, sat in a pile of rotting corpses, and carefully flipped through them, including the manuals of monsters and demons, all of which were scrutinized without exception.

  It is said that learning from many and knowing a few means that the more things one sees, the more experience one will have. Later on, when fighting against demons and monsters, one will also be better prepared.

  Time flies unconsciously.

  ……

  Outer world.

  The capital of the Cangxue dynasty, the entire prosperous imperial city is now devoid of lanterns and lights, but filled with a cold and solemn atmosphere.

  There are people patrolling on the city wall day and night.

  Since a month ago, Tsukino led the generals of the world to enter the ancient battlefield sealed in the Ice and Snow Altar, but just over ten days later, the seal of the ancient battlefield expanded, and more than half of the soldiers who entered were killed or injured.

  The eerie atmosphere of this ancient battlefield exceeded everyone's expectations.

  The human army retreated step by step under the pressure of the demon, all the way back to the border city outside the capital, and it was not until the Moon God personally came out that the momentum of the demon army's advance was stopped.

  However, the demons can no longer be stopped and are spreading throughout the empire like a viral epidemic. Countless provincial cities have been invaded by monsters.

  Mountains and rivers have fallen, blood flows like a river, the country is broken and the family is destroyed.

  This tragic scene unfolded like an epic scroll, presenting itself majestically before everyone. The upper-class elite of the imperial capital were all trembling with fear, and some even took their wives and children, directly migrating out of the capital to flee to another country.

  The empire summons all troops and warriors to go to various provincial cities to garrison and assist in defending the city.

  The battle lasted for half a month.

  In the empire, tens of thousands of warriors were killed or injured, and ordinary soldiers were countless.

  One hundred thousand warriors, a number of this magnitude. Even the Cang Xue dynasty, an empire with over three thousand years of foundation, would find it somewhat unbearable.

  Many border towns have become indefensible. A large number of refugees retreated to the capital, and the Ice Emperor ordered the establishment of refugee camps outside the city to accommodate these refugees.

  At the same time, Bingdi sent an urgent letter to the three major empires nearby for help and described the importance of lips dying and teeth being cold. However, although these three major empires promised to send troops to assist, their armies were slow to arrive.

  The Ice Emperor is really anxious.

  Watching with wide eyes as countless demons gather outside the city, the empire that has lasted for over 3,000 years will perish in an instant.

  He finally made up his mind.

  Imperial Palace. Cangxue Hall.

  Cangxue Hall is a very grand hall in the imperial palace, its importance is not inferior to Jinluan Hall. Even civil and military officials are not allowed to approach without a pass.

  It is said that this was a palace where the founding emperor once handled affairs.

  At this moment, in this palace, there are eight chairs, with a golden dragon chair at the head.

  "Gentlemen Marshals." The Ice Emperor sat at the head, looking at the other seven people, and said in a low voice: "I have called everyone here today to announce something."

  These seven people all stared at him intently.

  If outsiders were to see this, they would be extremely shocked. These seven people are all renowned Grand Marshals of the Former Dynasty!

  Everyone has created countless great achievements. They all retreated later, but unexpectedly remained in the palace.

  "I have decided that Xue Er will marry Tian He Zong." Bing Di said in a low voice, "Everyone just needs to hold on for another ten days, and they will send someone over."

  Seven people fell silent all at once.

  After a moment, an old man with white hair spoke up: "Your Majesty, are you really going to do this? The Tianhe Sect is one of the top two super sects on the continent. It's full of experts, and although it's a blessing for our Snowy Kingdom that their young master is willing to marry into our family, people from such a large sect tend to be quite arrogant. If Xue'er marries into their family, she'll definitely suffer."

  The Ice Emperor said calmly, "This is the only way to save the empire. I've already asked Xue Er and she agreed."

  "Your Majesty, didn't you want Xue'er to marry that rising star Tang Lin before? I think that kid is not bad, born in a humble background, but he's hardworking and diligent, and will definitely become a great sage in the future." said the white-haired old man.

  "Lao Tang, don't be muddle-headed." Another robust man sneered: "That Tang Lin is indeed not bad. In a few hundred years, when he becomes a saint, perhaps we won't be his match. However, the Tianhe Sect is a famous sect on the mainland. Can one person's talent, no matter how great, compare to the accumulated strength of a massive sect that has been around for tens of thousands of years?"

  "Moreover, with the country in crisis now, this is the only way out. Otherwise, can we still expect that Tang Lin to save the world?"

  The old man with white hair looked gloomy and didn't say a word.

  Someone next to him advised: "Don't mention Old Tang anymore, he has been with Xue Er since childhood and their feelings are deep, so naturally he doesn't want Xue Er to suffer in the future."

  "Marrying that Tang Lin won't be suffering? Men are all unreliable, previously it was a humble status, who knows if he has abilities in the future, and will become even more arrogant." The robust man hummed.

  "It's just a pity that the young master of the Tianhe clan has taken a liking to Xue'er's innate sacred body, otherwise, letting the seventh princess and eighth princess marry him would be no big deal."

  "Old pig, what are you talking about!"

  "Cough cough, I didn't say anything..."

  The Ice Emperor watched the crowd arguing, his brow furrowed, and waved his hand: "I've already decided on this matter, no need to say more. I summoned you all because I want you to guard the Ten Days at all costs! As long as we can hold out for these ten days, there will be hope."

  All seven of them nodded, their faces solemn.

  Although it was only ten days, there were countless demons and monsters in that ancient battlefield. Perhaps if they gathered together, just one charge would be enough to make the entire capital fall.

  ……

  In the pitch-black cave.

  Tang Lin hugged various martial arts manuals, and with his photographic memory and super-fast speed, these martial arts manuals were digested very quickly.

  On this day, Tang Lin was in a secret book, when he suddenly felt the entire cave violently shaking, and the ground cracked with countless cracks.

  Tang Lin was shocked in his heart, and he hastily put away all things, looked up and gazed into the distance.

  Rumbling sound

  Blocks of rock split open on the top, falling down and smashing onto the rotting corpses. Tang Lin was shocked in his heart, quickly dodging the falling rocks.

  At this moment, a crack appeared in the rock, revealing a greenish-blue tree root.

  Tang Lin was startled and hastily hid among the pile of corpses.

  Play dead!

  Tang Lin opened one eye, secretly sizing up the situation, and found that the sturdy tree roots were flying like vines, tearing the earth apart. The sky above was suddenly clear, and then Tang Lin saw that incredibly tall tree, like a mountain peak, carrying an army of thousands with it, heading into the distance.

  Along the way, there were tree roots pressing down, trampling on countless piles of corpses. Tang Lin gritted his teeth, feeling as if his entire skeleton was being crushed to almost powder. He didn't dare make a sound, only biting his teeth tightly shut.

  After a long time, these giant tree demons finally left here and went far away.

  Tang Lin felt a great relief in his heart and immediately got up to move his body. He found that several of his ribs were broken.

  Tang Lin smiled wryly and prepared to leave in the opposite direction of the tree demon.

  Just then, countless roars and howls came from the direction of the tree demon. Tang Lin's face changed color as he quickly crawled out of the cave and stood on a small hill to look around. He saw that at the edge of the dark sky, the towering body of the tree demon was faintly visible, and in front of it, countless monsters and demons were surging forward.

  Tang Lin's scalp was numb with fear, if he were discovered by these monsters, he would probably die without a place to bury his body.

  This tree demon seemed to be the leader of the demons, and after gathering countless demons, it rushed towards the plain.

  And in that direction, it seems to be the exit of the ancient battlefield.

  Tang Lin realized something was amiss and quickly followed the demon out, watching as they walked away. Only then did Tang Lin sneak back to the entrance of the ancient battlefield.

  "Judging from this situation, it seems like they're going to attack the imperial court." Tang Lin thought to himself.

  He crawled out of the ancient battlefield exit, gazing at the distant disappearing demon army, and immediately took out the ruthless painting scroll, calling out the name of the black devil.

  A moment later, a black light flashed on the ruthless painting scroll, and Tang Lin was swallowed up, taking the painting scroll with him, disappearing without a trace.

  Heartless Immortal's Abode, First Floor.

  Tang Lin's figure suddenly appeared, he had previously tried to return to the ruthless immortal mansion in the ancient battlefield, however, the ancient battlefield has a ban on isolation and cannot be transmitted over.

  At this moment, returning to the ruthless immortal mansion, Tang Lin's heart was greatly relieved, but he didn't waste any time and quickly said to the black-robed Daoist in front of him: "Take me to the first layer of the immortal mansion."

  Hei Mo looked at Tang Lin with a hint of surprise and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

  Tang Lin said: "The empire is now invaded by countless demons and will soon fall, I want to go help."

  "Hei Mo suddenly realized: 'So that's how it is.'"

  He immediately took Tang Lin to the first floor of the Ruthless Immortal Mansion.

  This ruthless immortal mansion has a total of three layers. At this moment, when Tang Lin arrived at the first layer on the grand hall, he immediately saw many rooms and palaces.

  Hei Mo led the way, saying: "With your current strength, you can enter this first layer. When you become a Saint, you will be able to enter the second layer."

  Tang Lin nodded and said: "You once said that when I can enter the first layer, I will truly become the master of the immortal mansion and control its movement, right?"

  "Not bad." Hei Mo nodded and said: "There are some things left by the master here, I'll give them to you first, then tell you the use of the immortal mansion."

  Although Tang Lin knew that time was pressing, he still calmed down and followed Hei Mo. He was very curious about what kind of treasure the first floor of Wu Qing Xian Fu would have. In this great disaster, every increase in strength meant an extra guarantee for survival!

  They soon arrived at a golden palace.

  On this palace, three big characters are written: Wanbao Pavilion!

  "This was the master's treasure trove in the past, some treasures that were used early on are left here." Hei Mo stretched out his hand and lightly pressed it against the door, and the entire palace gate rumbled open.

  Tang Lin looked inside.

  All that was seen in this palace were several weapon racks and some white jade pedestals, on which were placed helmets and armor, martial arts secret books, as well as some strange and unusual things.

  Tang Lin looked towards the weapon rack.

  It was just a casual glance, but Tang Lin soon discovered that all of these were treasures, emitting a rich aura.
