"Brother He, do you know how vast the Northern Ice Plain is?" Gimo Fanshu suddenly asked.
He Yiming was slightly startled. He shook his head. Although he didn't have a good relationship with the old assassin, he still admired this fellow's courage and knowledge. Therefore, he didn't give the other party any face.
Gimo Fanshu looked into the distance and answered softly, "The Northern Ice Plain is almost as big as the entire Eastern World."
He Yiming's eyebrows twitched. He did not expect the Northern Ice Plain to be so vast.
"It's a pity that there aren't many places in the Northern Ice Plain that can be inhabited by humans. On the contrary, many wild beasts and spirit beasts live here." Gimo Fanshu continued in a deep voice, "Whether it's the experts from the Eastern World or the Northwestern World, they often come to the Northern Ice Plain when they travel the world. If they're lucky, they can encounter Innate Spirit Beasts here and obtain Innate Neidan. "
He Yiming nodded slowly. If even foreign experts knew to come here, it meant that there were indeed many spirit beasts here.
"Ever since humans entered the Northern Ice Plain, it's been a battlefield between humans, wild beasts, and spirit beasts. For nearly 10,000 years, the battle between them has never stopped. " Gimo Fanshu chuckled and continued, "It's a battle for survival, so no race can give up."
He Yiming nodded quietly, but for some reason, he had a strange feeling. What was the meaning of Old Ancestor Yellow Spring's words?
"Human experts hunt spirit beasts and wild beasts here every day. They skin them, pull out their tendons, and suck their blood for meat. Similarly, many people are killed by wild beasts and spirit beasts here. This was especially true for the weak human settlements. In the absence of a Xiantian master, they will be frequently attacked by wild beasts and spirit beasts, "Ji Mo Fanshu said calmly," This is the law of the jungle. The strong prey on the weak, and only the fittest survive. "
He Yiming's eyes suddenly lit up as he finally understood the meaning of Old Ancestor Yellow Spring's words.
He was actually using this method to tell her that he hoped she would stop doing things like killing spirit beasts.
He Yiming snorted. He felt a chill in his heart. This old assassin was not moved at all when he saw the humans being slaughtered. To him, it was clearly a simple matter, yet he was unwilling to lend a helping hand.
Shifting his gaze, Sakyamuni was still calmly standing there. However, from the indifferent expression on his face, one could tell that the Heavenly Lake Faction Master actually agreed with this statement.
He Yiming took a deep breath and asked coldly, "Patriarch Yellow Spring, if a disciple from the Ninth Nether is threatened by a spirit beast, will you stand by and do nothing?"
"Of course not," Gimo Fanshu answered without any hesitation, "but the people here aren't disciples from my faction."
He Yiming snorted and said, "This time, if we can kill more spirit beasts and save more humans on our way to the Northern Ice Palace, wouldn't that be a great gift?"
Gimo Fanshu finally smiled. "Brother He, if you're close to the Ice Palace, I'll lend you a hand too, but there's no need for that here."
He Yiming was slightly stunned, but he quickly understood what Ou Yangming meant.
The people who lived in the Ice Palace were surely closely related to the Northern Frontier Ice Palace.
For example, the disciples from the Yellow Spring Sect who lived in the Ninth Nether and the Heavenly Lake Faction in the Heavenly Lake Mountain Range were the pillars of their respective factions.
On the other hand, the people who lived in the Ice Palace were insignificant. According to Gimo Fanshu, the Ice Palace would not care even if all of them died. If the Ice Palace saved them, it would only be a waste of time and energy.
He Yiming's face darkened. He chuckled and said, "Patriarch Yellow Spring, He has a stubborn temper, and he won't change his mind once he's decided on something. Please forgive me if I offend you in any way. "
Gimo Fanshu shook his head and looked deeply at He Yiming, but he stopped persuading him.
Sakyamuni laughed out loud, then he waved his sleeve and led the way. He left just like that as though he did not hear their conversation at all.
However, his departure unintentionally resolved the awkwardness. He Yiming and Gimo Fanshu looked at each other, then looked away at the same time. Both parties continued on their journey.
This time, Sakyamuni and Gimo Fanshu's speed had clearly increased, but they were still far from the limit of a powerhouse at the peak of the human dao. He Yiming wanted to ask about it many times, but he forced himself to suppress the urge in the end. This was because he vaguely sensed that the two of them must have a deeper meaning behind their actions.
Just like that, they walked for three days. During this time, He Yiming acted twice and saved two human residences. However, he also saw that when the spirit beasts and ferocious beasts attacked the humans, the humans from the Northern Frontier were also hunting them outside. The sky above the Northern Frontier seemed to be filled with a thick layer of killing intent.
Three days later, Gimo Fanshu, who was walking, suddenly stopped. With a sway of his body, he appeared more than thirty meters away. Following that, he reached out to touch the ground as if he was checking something. After a brief moment, he stood up and could not hide his joy.
Sakyamuni immediately went to his side and asked softly, "Did you find it?"
Gimo Fanshu nodded deeply and replied to him, "There shouldn't be any mistake."
He Yiming was greatly curious. When he glanced at the place where Gimo Fanshu was checking earlier, his face instantly took on a strange expression.
There was a pile of dried, yellow, and oily solid matter there. He Yiming, who grew up in the forest, was familiar with it. If he was not mistaken, it should be some kind of creature's feces.
That said, the feces had been there for at least a few days, or it could not have dried up to such an extent.
After hearing what they said, He Yiming finally understood why they were traveling so slowly. That was because they wanted to capture a certain type of spirit beast here.
Sakyamuni smiled as if a burden had been lifted from his shoulders. "It was indeed the right decision to invite you all the way here. Without your experience and tracking art, I'm afraid none of us would've been able to find this thing's tracks. "
Gimo Fanshu shook his head and said, "Don't have too much hope. This fella is very cunning, and I'm only 50% confident that I'll be able to find it."
"50% is already very impressive." Sakyamuni said sternly, "But no matter what, we must find it, or else …" He glanced at He Yiming as if there was something that he could not say.
He Yiming hesitated for a while before he asked, "Emperor Brother, what are you looking for?"
Sakyamuni smiled bitterly and answered, "We're looking for a Beastmaster called the Snow Fox."
"A Beastmaster?" He Yiming's eyes lit up. "How powerful is it?"
"It's quite powerful. If I was alone, I wouldn't have been able to kill it no matter what," Sakyamuni answered seriously.
He Yiming was shocked. "Is this fella more powerful than a Beastmaster from the Outer Sea?"
Gimo Fanshu waved his hand. "In terms of power, a Snow Fox is far inferior to a Beastmaster from the Outer Sea, but once a Snow Fox becomes a Beastmaster, it has the fastest speed in the world. Whether it's breaking through the ground or walking on the ground, it's the fastest in the world. Even if our Divine Soldier flies, it'll be hard for us to catch up to it. That's why we have to approach it when it's not on guard. If we're discovered, all our previous efforts will be wasted. "
He Yiming heard a soft neigh behind him. White Horse Lightning opened its beautiful eyes wide and looked at Gimo Fanshu with dissatisfaction. If He Yiming wasn't standing between them, this peak Sacred Beast with the bloodline of a Divine Beast would have already started fighting.
He Yiming quickly turned around and comforted the White Horse Lightning for a while. In any case, he managed to calm down the temper of the White Horse Lightning.
He turned around and faced the two peak Humans, who were baffled. He smiled bitterly and said, "Yellow Spring Sect Master, please don't mention anything about being the fastest in the world in front of Lightning."
Gimo Fanshu was slightly startled. His eyes suddenly lit up with joy. He looked at the White Horse Lightning with sparkling eyes. Sakyamuni's expression wasn't any better. The two of them looked at each other and nodded heavily at the same time.
He Yiming frowned and said, "The two of you, Lightning has no enmity with that Snow Fox. We also don't want to kill the innocent. That's why we won't make a move."
The two peak Humans exchanged glances. Sakyamuni sighed and said, "Brother He, Brother He, there's something I forgot to say."
He Yiming said in a deep voice, "Emperor Brother, please speak."
He Yiming had already guessed that there must be an important reason why the two of them valued the Snow Fox Beastmaster so much. Moreover, this reason was one hundred percent related to the Thousand Year Ice Island that was about to appear. If not, with their status, why would they care so much?
However, if they wanted him to help, they had to let him know the cause and effect. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't make a move so easily.
Sakyamuni's expression was extremely serious. He said, "Brother He, Brother He, we are hunting the Snow Fox in preparation for Miss Yuan."
"Lixun?" He Yiming's eyes widened. Although he returned to normal in the next moment, his expression already let Sakyamuni and Gimo Fanshu know the position Yuan Lixun had in his heart.
"That's right, it's Miss Yuan." Sakyamuni said calmly, "When the Ice Island appears this time, Miss Yuan must use the fake Icicle Mirror to draw away the light of the real Icicle Mirror. Only then will we have a chance to open the path to the Ice Island and enter."
He Yiming said with a gloomy expression, "What does this have to do with the Snow Fox?"
Sakyamuni pondered for a moment and said, "Miss Yuan has an Extreme Cold Body. Using the fake Icicle Mirror to draw away the light of the Divine Tool isn't too difficult. However, doing so consumes a lot of Vital Qi. Even a Five Qis Venerable can only maintain it for a quarter of an hour. "
He Yiming's eyes immediately lit up. He said, "Could it be that this Snow Fox can help people recover their Vital Qi?"
Sakyamuni finally smiled and said, "Brother He, Brother He, you hit the nail on the head. You are indeed smart …"
