There was a pit in the basin, and there was a mess of broken rocks. The most important thing was that the Red Sun Vermillion Fruit was missing. The pit was where the Red Sun Vermillion Fruit was, and the hard rocks around the pit were cracked like spider webs.
A flock of Moon Butterflies flapped their wings above, illuminating the entire mountain peak. From afar, it looked like a glowing jewel on the mountain peak.
Under the Moon Butterflies, a group of cultivators were searching.
After a while, a group of people packed up a messy pile of things and came over. They surrounded Han Bing and whispered for a long time.
After understanding the situation, Han Bing led a few people to the bottom of a towering rock. They raised their heads to look at Xue Luo Er, whose dress and long hair fluttered in the cold wind.
"Miss!" Han Bing cupped his hands and shouted.
Most of the snow on the mountain had fallen off, revealing many black rocks. Xue Luo Er retracted her gaze and slowly turned her head back. Her messy hair blew against her face, which made her look different. However, her eyes were as cold as lightning.
The group of cultivators guarding the mountain lowered their heads in fear.
Xue Luo Er jumped down from the rock and stood lightly in front of the group. The wind behind the rock caused her long hair to flutter.
Han Bing moved to her side and made way for the people behind him. He waved his hand to show them the things in their hands, and gestured for Xue Luo Er to take a look.
Two of them were holding the broken branches of the Red Sun Vermillion Fruit. They were really broken branches, and they were in pieces.
Another person was holding a charred, semi-oval, ugly stone. It did not look like a stone, and some parts of it seemed to be emitting a metallic luster.
"What do you mean?" Xue Luo Er asked coldly.
Han Bing carried the ugly stone over and brought it closer for Xue Luo Er to take a closer look, "Miss, look, this should be a type of meteoric iron."
"Meteoric iron?" Xue Luo Er was confused, and looked up at the night sky.
Han Bing nodded, "Miss, the Cloud Weapon Sect usually buys these things. I have seen some meteoric iron before, and most of them look like they were burnt by fire."
Xue Luo Er asked, "What are you trying to say? Could it be that meteoric iron fell from the sky, and coincidentally hit the tree of the Red Sun Vermillion Fruit? "
Han Bing sighed softly, "I'm afraid that's also the case. It can only be said that it's too coincidental. Young Lady, come over and take a look … "He handed the meteorite back to his subordinate and personally led Xue Luo 'er to the side of the pit. He pointed at it and said," The pit on the ground was obviously created by a huge force. Together with this meteorite at the peak of the mountain, there is no other explanation other than the work of the heavens. "
After saying that, he shook his head helplessly.
She understood the impact this had on Miss. Every year, Miss had to go to the old master's place to live for a period of time. The old master's' Xuan Bing Palace 'was extremely cold. Even ordinary cultivators with high cultivation could not stay there for long.
If the young miss wanted to live in that extremely cold place, she would have to consume a Scarlet Sun Vermillion Fruit every year. This was because the Scarlet Sun Vermillion Fruit had the effect of resisting the extreme cold. Now that the Red Sun Vermillion Fruit was gone, and even the tree was destroyed, it would be impossible for the Young Miss to live in that cold place again.
The Old Master had told others that the Scarlet Sun Vermillion Fruit was for his own use only so that the Young Mistress wouldn't be put in a difficult position. The old master's intention was very simple. Whoever wanted the Scarlet Sun Vermillion Fruit could go and talk to the old master personally. If the old master did not agree, no one in this world would dare to pester him.
As for the avalanche, to those who had lived in the Snow Region for a long time, it was understandable. If the commotion was too big, it could cause an avalanche.
In fact, Yuan Gang was bullying these people because they did not understand the unknown. Otherwise, if he was the one to investigate the scene, he would definitely be able to see some obvious clues.
Xue Luo 'er said, "How could it be so coincidental? Why did it just happen to fall on this peak of the mountain, right where the Scarlet Sun Vermillion Fruit's tree was?"
Han Bing laughed bitterly, "The possibility of it being man-made is not high. Once someone approached, the Snow Demon's warning would definitely alert the guards. Maybe it's the will of the heavens!"
"The will of the heavens?" Xue Luo 'er raised her head and looked at the sky, her long hair fluttering in the wind. She mumbled to herself, "Why is the will of the heavens like this?"
Han Bing remained silent. She could not say for sure.
Xue Luo 'er retracted her perplexed expression and turned in the wind. In a flash, she flew down the mountain. A portion of the people remained on the mountain, while the rest followed her.
Amidst the collapsed snow, Snow Demons would occasionally dig their way out of the snow, letting out terrified wails. Some of the Snow Demons dyed the surrounding snow red, and remained motionless in the snow.
Xue Luo 'er, who had landed at the foot of the mountain, paused for a moment and took in the scene. She then flew away, returning to the jade palace.
The cultivators from the various sects who were close to the avalanche saw Xue Luo 'er and the rest leave with their own eyes.
Many of them remembered clearly that before the avalanche, there seemed to be a loud sound. However, they did not dare to run up the mountain to take a look. They did not know what had happened …
Three figures flew up the mountain and landed on the snow wall at the top of the mountain.
When he saw who it was, Lei Zongkang heaved a sigh of relief. He cupped his hands towards Niu Youdao and greeted, "Daoye!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Zongkang suddenly raised his head. With the help of the firelight, he saw Yuan Gang, who was hanging from a piece of cloth, descending from the sky and landing outside the snow wall.
"…" Lei Zongkang was stunned. Yuan Gang flew down from the sky?
Yuan Gang, who had landed outside the snow wall, stopped running and crawled out from under the triangular wing. Then, he swung his arm and chopped repeatedly, breaking the frame supporting the triangular wing. Then, he hugged a ball and ran to the top of the mountain. He flipped over the snow wall and threw the items into the fire.
Black Peony, Duan Hu, and Lei Zongkang looked at Yuan Gang as if they were looking at a monster.
The cloth that was thrown into the fire was quickly destroyed. Niu Youdao quickly destroyed the snow wall and buried the fire. Then, he shouted, "Let's go!"
Duan Hu and Lei Zongkang held onto Yuan Gang's arms and followed behind Niu Youdao and Black Peony. They quickly flew down the mountain.
The group sped through the vast snow region under the cover of the night, not stopping for even a moment …
At daybreak the next day, Ice Pavilion finally released the news that a meteorite had smashed into the snow mountain, causing an avalanche!
There was no other explanation for this situation. In truth, Ice Pavilion did not need to explain to the public that a meteorite had coincidentally smashed into the Crimson Sun Fruit tree and destroyed it.
Such a coincidence was like the will of the heavens. It would be inauspicious to say it out loud.
Everyone in the valley discussed secretly for the entire night, trying to guess what had happened. When they received the news, they came to a sudden realization. No one would have thought that the 'meteorite' had coincidentally smashed into the peak of the mountain and the Crimson Sun Fruit tree …
In Lingbo Manor of the Northern Region, a group of people escorted a carriage to the manor.
The carriage stopped at the entrance. Someone quickly carried three wooden steps and placed them beside the carriage. The curtains of the carriage were lifted, and Shao Pingbo, dressed in white and black, emerged. He walked straight down the carriage.
"Young Master!" The butler, Shao Sansheng, came down the steps and greeted him. At the same time, he gave Shao Pingbo a look.
Shao Pingbo understood, but his expression did not change. He turned to Tang Yi and said with a smile, "Sect Leader Tang, you've worked hard. Go back and rest early."
Tang Yi and the others were ordered by Shao Pingbo to accompany and protect them when they went out on patrol.
Tang Yi could not shirk her duty, so she could only accompany them.
Shao Pingbo wanted to have Tang Yi stay for a chat. However, he saw that Shao Sansheng had something to do. He could only temporarily put aside the idea of keeping the beauty to entertain him and perhaps even reap a good harvest.
In reality, beauty didn't mean much to him. Although he couldn't sever the worldly desires between men and women, beauty was an existence that didn't matter to him when compared to the matters he was focused on.
"Yes!" Tang Yi cupped her fists and left.
After watching Tang Yi leave with a smile, Shao Pingbo put away his smile and entered the manor. He also dismissed Huang Dou, Lin Hu, and the other Sorcerers' attendants.
The master and servant returned to the inner courtyard and went straight to the study.
Shao Sansheng helped Shao Pingbo remove his cloak and sighed. "Young Master, you've worked hard."
Shao Pingbo walked to the back of the table and sat down. He said calmly, "Let's talk business. What's wrong?"
Shao Sansheng pulled the cloak over his arm and said in a low voice, "As Young Master expected, something really happened at the Ice and Snow Pavilion."
Shao Pingbo, who had just sat down, stood up slowly again. Slowly, he asked, "Is it about the Crimson Sun Fruit?"
Shao Sansheng said, "I haven't heard anything about the Crimson Sun Fruit. However, something strange happened at the snow mountain where the Crimson Sun Fruit grew. Our informants there sent us two pieces of news. The first piece of news said that two days ago, there was a loud explosion on the snow mountain, followed by an avalanche. "
Shao Pingbo narrowed his eyes. "What about the second piece of news?"
Shao Sansheng said, "The Ice and Snow Pavilion released a statement the next day. They said that a meteorite had hit the snow mountain and caused the avalanche."
"A meteorite?" Shao Pingbo's eyes flickered slightly. He suddenly laughed. "Some time ago, there was an uproar in the Jinzhou Prefecture. It was said that a meteorite had hit the snow mountain and caused quite a commotion. Now that the Ice and Snow Pavilion has a meteorite, the heavens are really helping me!"
Shao Sansheng asked tentatively, "After hearing Young Master's words, I also have my doubts. But … can he succeed?"
Shao Pingbo sneered. "This is not a small matter. It's a serious matter. Someone like him wouldn't dare to act without confidence. I can guarantee that the Crimson Sun Fruit has most likely fallen into his hands! "
He waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to doubt this matter anymore. He asked again, "How long will it take to travel from the Ice and Snow Pavilion to the Jinzhou Prefecture?"
Shao Sansheng pondered for a moment, then replied, "Even if the horse gallops at full speed without stopping, it will still take a few days to arrive. Otherwise, it will take at least a month to arrive. It would be a different story if we could ride on a flying beast."
Shao Pingbo nodded. "Alright, I understand." He then sat down and reached for the accumulated documents on the table to read.
During the time he went out to patrol, he had accumulated a lot of unimportant documents. Since he came back, he was prepared to quickly read through them and deal with them.
Seeing that he had let go of the matter just like that, Shao Sansheng couldn't help but remind him, "Young Master, do you want to spread some news?"
Shao Pingbo's eyes and energy were focused on the opened documents. He didn't even raise his head. He only said two words, "Wait!"
In the blink of an eye, within the borders of the State of Zhao, Niu Youdao and his party passed through the Jinzhou Prefecture. However, they didn't go to the Jinzhou Prefecture. It could be said that they passed by the Jinzhou Prefecture.
The road was overflowing with greenery. Black Peony, who was on horseback, turned to look in the direction of the Jinzhou Prefecture. She asked Niu Youdao, "Daoye, are we not going to the Jinzhou Prefecture?" She was suspicious. Weren't they going to use the Crimson Sun Fruit to treat Xiao Tianzhen?
Niu Youdao tilted his head and looked at her with a faint smile. He only said one word, "Wait!"
