Capítulo 1378: Chapter 1397: Ice River
Cold winter snow flies, and the northern wind is biting!
On the road to Ice River City, three silhouettes walk slowly.
Looking at the outline of the city ahead, the young boy’s face was full of excitent. He and his clan uncle had been to the glacier land for half a year, traveling a full hundred thousand miles, enduring much hardship along the way, but the return journey took only one day. Despite the hardships of the piercing cold wind, the youth found joy in it.
Not only did they find the Extre Yin Ice Fox, but they also brought back a mysterious expert. Knowing his mother could finally be saved made the boy exceptionally excited.
This day’s journey had also made Ye Xuan understand why the uncle and nephew went to the glacier land.
The middle-aged man was the youth’s clan uncle, nad Xiao Changhe. The boy’s father was originally a cultivation prodigy of the Xiao Family, though not the clan leader, he was implicitly known as the first person of the Xiao Family, aside from the clan’s Supre Elder and others.
Unfortunately, this great world is very cruel, and even the most brilliant talents can perish prematurely, especially in the bitter cold of the Northern Territory.
As everyone knows, the Northern Territory is bitterly cold, and cultivators rely on fierce beasts as resources. The Xiao Family in Ice River City is a prestigious family comparable to a mid-tier sect, with a legacy of tens of thousands of years. Naturally, they would organize within the clan cultivators to hunt in areas where fierce beasts gather.
And thus, the regrettable incident occurred.
During a hunting expedition, they encountered an Ice Sea Giant Beast, and all the clan mbers perished there, including Xiao Yun’s father, leaving only a widow and orphan to struggle on in the Xiao Family.
Misfortunes never co singly; upon receiving this news, Xiao’s mother, already frail and sickly, succumbed to a blood disorder due to years of grief and worry, placing her life in imminent danger, intensifying the boy’s worry.
With the help of his uncle Xiao Changhe, consulting the clan’s wizard, they learned that the glacier land housed an Extre Yin Ice Fox. If they could take its blood and channel it through a person of small saint cultivation, it could naturally cure Xiao’s mother’s ailnt.
With this news, the boy begged the clan elders to help, hoping they would send cultivators to the glacier land to hunt and bring back the Extre Yin Ice Fox to cure his mother’s severe illness.
But the clan elders were indifferent to the boy’s pleadings, and their response was quite simple!
The journey to the glacier land from Ice River City spans a hundred thousand miles and is fraught with danger; why should they expend clan resources for a feeble woman?
In the harsh environnt of the Beichen Star Domain, not only are fierce beasts considered resources, but the cultivators within sects and families are the greatest resources. Although Xiao Yun’s father had an implicit title of the first person in the Xiao Family during his lifeti, he is already deceased.
The family of great clans is so cruel; anything without utility is not worth wasting resources on. It is not just the Xiao Family; other sects and great teachings are all like this.
Ye Xuan could see the cruelty of the Beichen Star Domain from the boy’s description.
This bitter cold land of the Northern Territory is one where the strong are revered, the fittest survive, and all resources are only for the living!
Ye Xuan liked these kinds of rules, but for the boy, they were full of coldness and heartlessness, and he felt no sense of belonging to his family.
As the three neared the city gate, a bridge crossing the river ca into Ye Xuan’s view.
Gazing at the snow-white clad city, Ye Xuan’s eyes were deep, pondering whether his journey to the Beichen Star Domain could allow him to directly enter the Immortal Realm.
“Look, it’s amazing, the uncle and nephew have returned?” An exclamation sounded before the city gate, drawing the attention of all the city guards to Ye Xuan and his companions.
“They aren’t dead after all? Could it be they captured the Extre Yin Ice Fox?” More returning cultivators whispered in speculation.
Seeing the many burly and fierce cultivators at the city gates, whose bodies were full of explosive musculature, Ye Xuan’s eyes glistened with admiration.
These Northern Territory cultivators had vigorous blood energy, without the ethereal feeling of ordinary cultivators, instead exuding a fierce aura, obviously, each was a ruthless character.
“Sir, we have arrived at Ice River City, please go ahead.” Back in his holand, the young boy did not forget Ye Xuan, showing him increasing respect.
Hearing the boy’s words, Ye Xuan smiled faintly, taking the lead across the stone bridge into the city gate, with the uncle and nephew following closely, the trio quickly entered the city.
anwhile, nurous returning cultivators watched the three enter the city, and the low buzz of discussion rose again.
“Hey, did you see it, that thing on Xiao Yun’s waist looks like the Extre Yin Ice Fox?”
“I saw it long ago, this kid really has his father’s deanor. The Ice Sea Land and Ice River City are separated by a hundred thousand miles; he must have suffered greatly along the way.”
“Hmph! You really have no insight, or are you feigning ignorance? Although the Extre Yin Ice Fox is only an ordinary fierce beast, it is extraordinarily cunning, with speed like lightning and stone fire, even with Xiao Changhe at his side, how could it be so easily captured?”
“Yes, this gentleman is right, didn’t you see the man in black, just wearing a thin garnt? I observed his vigorous blood energy, perhaps he is a Great Cultivator, or possibly of small saint cultivation,” more voices affird, speculating on Ye Xuan’s identity!
“Do you an… could it be that the man in black helped the Xiao family kid capture the Extre Yin Ice Fox?”
“Ha!”
A mocking laugh erupted as a cultivator shook his head and sighed: “Even if this person is a small saint, so what? The blood of the Extre Yin Ice Fox is extrely precious. If his father were still alive, naturally it could be used to heal this kid’s mother’s illness. But since the father has already perished, how could the Xiao family, being such a noble family, allow sothing so precious to be used by a re weak woman?”
With these words, everyone wore expressions of helplessness, nodding in agreent.
The Beichen Star Domain is a land of bitter cold, where cultivation resources are in dire shortage. Xiao Yun is just a child and does not yet have his father’s cultivation. Such precious resources naturally need to be used on the living, which fully embodies the cruel law of the Northern Territory.
The survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle, this phrase fully explains the survival law of the Beichen Star Domain.
At this mont.
Ye Xuan and the other two had already entered Ice River City. With the uncle and nephew’s cultivation, they naturally couldn’t hear the discussions at the city gate, but Ye Xuan’s cultivation was extraordinary. Even if a fly fell to the ground, he could hear it, let alone the whispers of the crowd?
Ye Xuan’s eyes flickered, looking at the boy’s excitent, a strange smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, for everything had only just begun.
Great families, each harboring scheming minds, often involving unsavory dealings, Ye Xuan had experienced the cruelty of the Ye Family during his youth in the Human World, and he had anticipated what might happen.
But isn’t this what Ye Xuan was expecting?
To cultivate a demon child, you must let him recognize the cruelty of this great world, only then can you draw out his demon heart, truly making him useful.
Ye Xuan never pities anyone, nor does he have any sense of compassion. He only believes in himself, knowing that only by being strong can he truly be unafraid of any adversity.
And seeing this boy, Ye Xuan felt like seeing his past self, also a discarded son of the family, living humbly in the world.
“The six desires are heartless, Heaven and Earth have no heart, transform into a demon, reigning supre through the ages, do not disappoint !” Ye Xuan murmured quietly.
