Chapter 9: The True Lord Song Qian (Part 1)

  Lei Xingfeng suddenly stood up and said, "Where is the sound? Where is the sound?" His heart was racing wildly, frightened by the terrifying cracking sound that came immediately after Hammerhead had just spoken of the extreme cold. It was impossible to say he wasn't afraid.

  Xin Zhaolun also stood up, and he immediately saw the ice wall behind Lei Xingfeng, pointing and saying: "There!"

  Lei Xingfeng shouted loudly: "Here!" Instantly, all the people around who were still cultivating woke up and couldn't continue their cultivation.

  "What's wrong?"

  He immediately jumped up and looked around in all directions.

  A crack in the ice extended from the bottom of the back wall upwards, constantly emitting a cracking sound. Everyone became tense, if the ice wall behind was frozen and cracked open, the extremely cold air outside would rush in, and there wouldn't be many people who could escape alive from this room.

  Xin Zhaolun said: "Get some thicker and more solid animal hide, and paste it on!"

  The mad eagle pulled out a piece of animal hide from the ground, flew directly to the top of the room, and stuck the hide on the upper part of the ice wall. Xin Zhaolun picked up a basin of water and poured it down from the hide. Lei Xingfeng patted the hide, making it stick to the ice wall. The water froze as soon as it was taken out, and it had to be heated by Xin Zhaolun.

  Although the ice wall was still creaking and groaning, a thick layer of animal hide pasted on it, plus a layer of water condensed into ice, temporarily blocked the extension of the ice crack.

  Lei Xingfeng said: "No way, we need to reinforce it. It's best to add another layer of ice wall, it's too terrifying."

  Xin Zhaolun said resolutely: "Good, add another layer of wall! I have some fine steel here, let's work together to build a framework first."

  Everyone worked together, and the speed was very fast. In just a moment, a delicate steel frame appeared in front of the back wall, which was already the framework of the second wall. As long as something was filled in and water was poured, a new ice wall could be formed.

  Everyone will take the unused things in the wheelhouse, some miscellaneous items are stuffed into the frame, fill a small frame, and use water to pour and form a small ice wall. After ten or so minutes, a new ice wall appears.

  A group of people sat down again, one by one with pale faces, that was due to the cold. Even though there were so many charcoal braziers in the room, the temperature inside never rose. Of course, it was much higher than outside.

  "This is just the first day and it's already like this. If it goes on for ten or more days, we won't be able to hold out at all. Even if we have a house, it will be useless."

  "Hammerhead said: 'It won't last for more than 10 days, at most five days, and at least three days, this extremely cold weather will end.'"

  Lei Xingfeng said: "I hope it will be over in three days."

  The outer ice wall still made various cracking sounds of ice blocks, the sound of "crack" continued, making people feel extremely uneasy in their hearts. However, with the second layer of ice wall, everyone felt much better than before. Just as everyone relaxed a little, they heard a loud "whooshing" sound from the outside, and suddenly made everyone look at each other in dismay.

  Hammerhead said: "Split open..." In an instant, the room temperature seemed to drop.

  Xin Zhaolun said, "It's nothing serious. The two layers of walls, the reason why the outside can't hold up is because of the strong winds. The ice wall can't withstand such a powerful wind attack."

  A shrill whistling sound came in, the wind circling between the two layers of ice walls, making a sound that was truly like ghosts wailing and wolves howling.

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Who was it that discovered this place at first? If you came here for the first time, if you encountered such weather, who could escape alive?"

  Xin Zhaolun said, "That's not necessarily true. Those who can open the secret door and arrive here must be at least a True Master-level expert, or even more formidable. Hehe, it's not hard to discover that escaping is still possible as long as you're in contact with the locals here... you'll be able to understand the situation."

  Lei Xingfeng continuously put the oil wood into the charcoal basin, flames rose, and the red light shone on everyone's face, a warm breath slightly dispelled the chill.

  Boom!

  Everyone was shocked, and this voice came in a loud shout, especially startling. Lei Xingfeng said: "What?"

  Hammerhead said faintly: "I don't know whose ice house collapsed..."

  Lei Xingfeng let out a bitter laugh and said: "There's nowhere to escape... it's terrifying!"

  Boom!

  Everyone stood up this time, because the voice was right outside. Xinzhaolun rushed to the door and lifted the curtain to look out.

  Lei Xingfeng also ran to the door, which had no door panels, but was made of three layers of extremely thick animal hide that could block out ordinary cold air, but absolutely couldn't keep out the extremely cold air. In front of them, a rolling white mist surged in from the other end of the corridor, scaring Xin Zhaolun into shouting: "Fall back!"

  Just then, a figure emerged from the thick white fog, his whole body flashing with red light, and he shouted: "Wait for me!"

  Xin Zhaolun and Lei Xingfeng retreated one step back, that person had already flashed to the door and shouted: "Get out of the way!"

  In an instant, a pressure that was beyond compare surged forth, causing Xin Zhaolun to continuously retreat, and Lei Xingfeng's legs softened as he sat down. Xin Zhaolun exclaimed in shock: "Zhen Jun!"

  He saw the man turn around, stretch out his hand and wipe it on the door frame. A black door panel was stuck in the doorway. He shouted: "What are you staring at? If you don't want to die, block it for me immediately!"

  The others suddenly understood and one by one busily stuffed the animal hides into the gaps between the door panels and door frames, then quickly poured water over them.

  "That person said: 'Come, re-seal it with another ice wall!'"

  Everyone knows that just relying on a single door panel can't stop the cold, fortunately there are many people in the room and Xinzhaolun has stored a lot of materials, the area occupied by the door frame is small, it only takes a few minutes, another ice wall stands at the door.

  Lei Xingfeng looked up and was suddenly speechless, saying: "How is it you old man?" This person was the old man who had traded with him at the auction, Bao Lun.

  That old man probably didn't expect to burst into Lei Xingfeng's place either. He suddenly laughed and said, "Little guy, how's my violent wheel?"

  Lei Xingfeng said: "I haven't been promoted yet, have I? Can't use it for the time being. Ah, old man... how did you rush to our place?"

  The old man suddenly became angry and said, "A group of fools, the place where they lived... was completely frozen and collapsed. I don't know how they built their ice house. Luckily, I ran fast, otherwise I would have died with those stupid birds."

  Xin Zhaolun said: "Senior, you almost killed all of us!" He was truly furious.

  The old man was a bit embarrassed and said, "It's okay, I'm here anyway."

  Xin Zhaolun didn't dare to force him either. Joking aside, a true monarch could annihilate them with just one move, so even if his inner fire was burning fiercely, he had to suppress it.

  Lei Xingfeng said with a smile: "So, you have to guarantee our safety." One sentence nailed him.

  Xin Zhaolun wasn't stupid either, and immediately understood Lei Xingfeng's meaning. At this point, it was useless to pursue anything else. If he could make use of him, that would be a good deal too.

  The old man sighed and said, "Alright, consider it my debt to you. Don't worry, as long as the collapse isn't in your own room, there won't be any problem. If anything goes wrong, I'll take care of it."

  Xin Zhaolun's face suddenly relaxed, and he said, "Then thank you, senior."

  "May I ask your honorable surname and given name, senior?"

  The old man said: "What? You want to find your own family members to avenge?"

  At this moment, Leixingfeng was speechless, the old man burst out laughing and admired Leixingfeng's bitter face for a while before slowly saying: "Song Jue, Zhen Jun!"

  Everyone present, including Hammerhead and Crazy Axe, stood up together and said: "We've seen the senior." This courtesy was understood by everyone. Just kidding, a true lord, with their identity as juniors, no matter how respectful they were, it wouldn't be excessive.

  Song Jiao smiled and said: "Alright, consider this a favor I owe you. In the future, if you have any difficulties and can find me, heh heh, I'll help you out once."

  Xin Zhaolun's face showed a surprised expression, this promise was absolutely encouraging for him. Even if the master was Zhēn Jūn, but the master had many things to do and some things he couldn't bother the master with. Having such a promise meant at least one more chance, one chance to let Zhēn Jūn take action, which was really too precious.

  Lei Xingfeng also laughed and understood how precious this promise was, saying: "Great, Senior Song, if we have something to do, how can we find you?"

  This sentence is the key, even if Song Jue makes countless promises, but you can't find anyone else, all promises are useless.

  Everyone's eyes were fixed on Song Jia at once.

  Song Jie chuckled twice and said: "Sly little guy, okay, this is for you!"

  A red crystal card, one inch square, Lei Xingfeng was puzzled: "What is this?"

  "Idiot, don't you even know what a message token is?"

  Lei Xingfeng was taken aback, of course he knew about the message token, but he had never seen a message token before. That was a means of communication used between true monarchs, and ordinary cultivators didn't have such means.

  Song Jiao said, "As long as we are in the same world, the message plate can find me." He briefly taught how to use the message plate and asked the master of this place, Lei Xingfeng and others told him their names. He took out three more message plates, one for Xin Zhaolun, one for Miao Ling, and the last one for Chui Tou and Kuang Fu.

  Lei Xingfeng chuckled and said: "Hammerhead, you two won't be leaving this place either. I reckon Senior Song... will rarely come here from now on?"

  "This is indeed the case, I came over for some things, there's nothing interesting here."

  Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, "You see, Song senior left this time. Later, if he doesn't come or comes very rarely, even if you leave a message card, it won't be of much use. It's better... to give it to me!"

  Miao Ling snuggled into Hong Jie's arms, revealing a small face and muttering: "Shidi is so cunning!"

  Hammerhead and Battle-axe conferred for a moment, then Hammerhead said, "Alright, Ah Feng, what do you plan to use in exchange?"

  Lei Xingfeng smiled and said: "What do you want? As long as I have it, there's no problem."
