The winter in the mountains of the Eastern Wilderness was bone-chilling, and the snow and ice covered the sky.
The snow and ice would only melt in April of the following year.
The five-month long winter was a severe test for all the creatures in the mountains of the Eastern Wilderness.
Especially the Tielin Sect, which was located in the most remote area, they had to collect enough food before the winter.
When the first snow fell, the Tielin Sect would close the city gate, and everyone would stay in the valley to survive the long winter.
After Elder Sang and Xiaoyue left, it was Tie Feng's turn to be in charge of the Tielin Sect.
Tie Feng had been looking forward to this day. Now that he was in charge of the family, he felt a little flustered.
Feng Peng took Elder Sang and Xiaoyue away, but left four masters to supervise him.
Being watched day and night by these people, Tie Feng felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, unable to eat or sleep.
Tie Feng was not stupid. The Windstorm Division must have been sent out for the legendary Divine Soldier.
When Feng Peng and the others returned, the other party would probably kill them. They would destroy the entire Tielin Sect.
Tie Feng slept with one eye open every day, for fear that he would be killed if he was not careful.
It had only been about 20 days, but Tie Feng had become more and more haggard, and he had lost a lot of weight.
At noon, Tie Feng went to the city wall with two guards to patrol. Of course, he was followed by a master of the Windstorm Division.
On the seven-feet-high city wall, the cold wind was even stronger.
Only two old soldiers stood in the corner with their hands crossed and their necks shrunk, talking to each other.
Seeing Tie Feng coming over, the two of them bowed and greeted him with a serious face.
Tie Feng did not bother to talk to them. No one could stand standing here in such weather, drinking the wind.
At least they did not sneak down to hide from the wind, which was good enough.
"Are you all right?" Tie Feng asked casually.
"I'm fine, I'm fine," the two old soldiers answered together.
Tie Feng casually looked outside the city and saw a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere.
The snow reflected the sunlight, and the world seemed unusually bright and spacious.
A person's eyes were very fragile. If one stayed in such an environment for a long time, they would become snow blind or even lose their sight.
Tie Feng only took a casual glance before withdrawing his gaze.
In this kind of weather, even demonic beasts would not move. There wouldn't be any enemies. Tie Feng was concerned about Wind Roc and Elder Sang.
However, if they were to return to the main peak of the Black Dragon Ridge, it would take at least seven to eight days.
The two veterans also craned their necks to look outside.
Their serious expressions were rather exaggerated, which made Tie Feng extremely impatient. He wished he could kick the two of them down the city wall.
Tie Feng didn't want to see their stupidity any longer, so he turned around and left quickly.
The two veterans didn't know that Tie Feng had left and were still watching with great interest.
"Look! Look! Something's coming!" one of the veterans shouted excitedly as he pointed ahead.
The other veteran also shouted, "Boss Tie, that thing is coming straight for us. It's so fast!"
Tie Feng was almost down the city wall when he heard the shout and couldn't help but be surprised. "Is Wind Roc back?"
He hurriedly turned around and quickly walked up the city wall. Tie Feng leaned against the wall and looked outside. Sure enough, a black shadow was galloping over from afar.
The black shadow was extremely fast, leaving behind countless snowflakes as it dragged a long white dragon behind it. Its momentum was astonishing.
Tie Feng couldn't care less about the glare of the sunlight. He stared at the black shadow and became more and more nervous.
Even the expert of the Gale Division standing at the back felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly moved forward to see what was going on.
"It's a white tiger, and there are people on it?"
As the black shadow got closer, he could already tell that it was a huge tiger with two people on its back.
Tie Feng couldn't help but feel nervous. Just by looking at the speed of the tiger, he knew how powerful it was. Wouldn't the people who could ride on the tiger's back be even more powerful?
"Is this someone from your tribe?"
Tie Feng recalled that the Gale Division was very good at taming beasts. Perhaps it was someone from their tribe.
The expert of the Gale Division hurriedly shook his head and said with absolute certainty, "Definitely not."
Not to mention the Gale Division, even the ten divisions of the Eastern Wilderness had never heard of anyone taming a huge tiger.
"The person in front looks like Little Yue …" a veteran said in a low voice.
Tie Feng's heart moved. He took a closer look. Indeed, the petite figure in front really did look like Yue Qingxue.
But her face was completely covered, so it was hard to be sure.
The big man behind her, however, had a blue bald head that was very eye-catching under the sunlight.
He wore heavy armor, but his arms were exposed. His bronze-colored muscles shone with a beautiful luster.
Even though they were quite far away, everyone could feel the ferocity and tyranny of the big man.
As if sensing Tie Feng's gaze, the big man looked up at Tie Feng.
When their eyes met, Tie Feng couldn't help but feel guilty and hurriedly lowered his head. He felt a little strange. He felt that the big man's gaze was very familiar.
But the big man was so special. Once he saw him once, he would never forget him.
Just as Tie Feng was thinking, he heard the veteran exclaim. "They're charging straight over?"
Tie Feng looked up again and saw that the big man riding the white tiger was actually charging straight for the city wall. Not only did the white tiger not slow down, it was clearly speeding up.
"They're trying to charge up!" the expert of the Gale Division shouted in disbelief.
The others were also stunned. Was the person below crazy?
One had to know that the city wall was at least seven feet tall, and it was abnormally flat and completely vertical.
The tiger couldn't fly, so how could it climb up!
At this moment, the white tiger suddenly let out a long roar.
The deep and sonorous roar made Tie Feng's legs turn to jelly. His vision darkened, and he almost fainted on the spot.
The expert of the Gale Division beside him also staggered and almost fell to the ground.
The two veterans and Tie Feng's two guards directly fainted.
The weak Tie Feng held onto the wall and watched as the white tiger leaped several feet high and climbed up the city wall.
The white tiger's four large claws exerted force together and scratched on the city wall, creating sparks. Under the support of the terrifying strength, the white tiger leaped up the city wall with two quick leaps and arrived in front of Tie Feng.
Facing the white tiger at such a close distance, Tie Feng discovered that it was extraordinarily tall and mighty.
The white tiger's head was raised high, and it was even taller than him.
Being stared at by the white tiger's merciless golden eyes, Tie Feng would have collapsed to the ground if not for his hands holding onto the wall.
Such a terrifying demonic beast could single-handedly slaughter the entire Tielin Sect.
The huge difference in strength made the advantage of numbers meaningless.
Tie Feng had never been so close to death before. He could even feel the white tiger's hot breath.
To be honest, he was so scared that his heart almost stopped beating. His mind was blank, and he had completely lost the ability to think.
The experts of the Gale Division were not having a good time either. Their faces were deathly pale, and they obediently cowered in the corner, squatting there like a dog, not even daring to breathe loudly.
"Chief Tie, it's me."
Xiaoyue, who was on the tiger's back, wanted to come down, but was tightly hugged by Gao Zhengyang, so she could only lift her mask.
Hearing Yue Qingxue's familiar voice, Tie Feng was suddenly startled. His face revealed a bewildered expression, and he almost thought that he had heard wrongly.
"Chief Tie, how have you been …" Gao Zhengyang tilted his head and looked at Tie Feng with a smile.
In a few months, Gao Zhengyang's young body had already completed the voice change.
His voice was no longer sharp and thin, but deep and deep, and extremely magnetic.
Although Gao Zhengyang's greeting contained a hint of teasing, there was no malice in it.
This also made Tie Feng feel much more at ease. He slowly straightened his body, took two steps forward, looked at Gao Zhengyang, and asked doubtfully, "You are?"
There was no change in his voice, but Gao Zhengyang's body and appearance had undergone an abnormally large change.
Tie Feng could see that the person in front of him vaguely looked like Gao Zhengyang, but he did not dare to recognize him.
"I am Gao Zhengyang."
"Ah." Although Tie Feng had a guess, he was still particularly shocked when he really heard the answer.
Gao Zhengyang laughed out loud. He liked Tie Feng's incomparably shocked expression. It was very on point.
"Actually, I've only become taller and more handsome. Don't be so surprised."
Gao Zhengyang said with a smile.
Tie Feng really believed him this time. This kind of speaking style was very special. It was Gao Zhengyang.
"Zhengyang is back. That's great, that's great."
Since it was Gao Zhengyang, and they were acquaintances, Tie Feng felt much more relaxed. He hurriedly squeezed out a smile on his face.
"You must be tired from the journey. I'll immediately ask someone to prepare some food …"
Gao Zhengyang did not reply. His gaze fell on the expert from the Gale Division. Not only did this person look unfamiliar, but his armor and weapons were clearly of the Gale Division's style.
"Who is he?"
Tie Feng hurriedly introduced, "An expert from the Gale Division."
"Oh."
Gao Zhengyang did not care. He rode a few steps forward on his white tiger. When he passed by that person, he casually pulled out his sword and slashed.
Before that person could react, the Gale Sword turned into a cold ray of light and easily sliced through half of his neck.
"Ugh …" That person clutched his neck and stumbled to the ground. Blood gushed out of his wound, and he soon stopped breathing.
Tie Feng stood at the side, dumbfounded. His body trembled uncontrollably.
He knew that Gao Zhengyang was ruthless, but it was beyond his expectation that he would kill someone right in front of him.
"The people of the Gale Division all deserve to die," Gao Zhengyang said casually as an explanation. He then asked, "How many people of the Gale Division are here?"
"Gao, there are three other experts of the Gale Division waiting in the praying hall." Tie Feng's tone was more respectful and reserved.
The expert from the Gale Division was much more powerful than him. Gao Zhengyang pulled out his sword. Though it was a sneak attack, that expert was killed before he could react.
This proved that the difference in strength between the two sides was too great.
Besides, that white tiger was obviously Gao Zhengyang's pet. Gao Zhengyang could defeat the tribes with that white tiger alone.
Tie Feng didn't dare to put on airs anymore. He humbled himself as much as he could.
"Go and ask Tie Ying and the others to come here. I have something to say."
Gao Zhengyang thought about it and said, "Just wait for me in front of the praying hall. Go. "
Gao Zhengyang gave the order in an arrogant manner. Tie Feng didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction. He bowed and complied.
After Tie Feng left, Yue Qingxue jumped down from the tiger's back and woke up the two veterans who had fainted.
The two veterans were startled to see someone dead. But White Tiger and Gao Zhengyang were right next to them. They didn't say anything and just carried the body away.
Sitting on the tiger's back, Gao Zhengyang looked down at the Tielin Sect. He had mixed feelings.
The Tielin Sect hadn't changed in the three months since he left.
He had left the sect in a sorry state. He never thought that he would come back again. And he came back so soon.
"I, Gao the Third, am back …"
Gao Zhengyang shouted proudly.
"Aren't you the only one in your family?" Yue Qingxue asked calmly.
"Heaven is the first, Earth is the second, and I am the third. Understand?"
"Domineering."
Yue Qingxue had become familiar with this style after spending a few days together. They could cooperate well.
