The next day, Feng Hao bid farewell to the Radiant Sun Sovereign and the others. He left the academy and headed towards the icy plains in search of the Nine Serene Ice Grass. However, what Feng Hao did not notice was that Xiao Yu was standing on the back mountain of the academy, watching his departing figure from afar.
At this moment, Xiao Yu's eyes were filled with a deep rainbow colour, and she looked completely different from before.
"Ten more years …" A voice that had experienced many vicissitudes of life came out from Xiao Yu's mouth.
The ice plains were located in the northernmost region of the Zhenwu Continent. There were hardly any signs of human habitation here, and the low temperatures that had accumulated over the years had turned this region into a land of ice. Feng Hao traveled at full speed for nearly two days before he finally arrived at the edge of the ice plains.
At the edge of the icy plains, there was a rather large human gathering point. There were also some residents living here, as well as many martial artists who had travelled from afar to the icy plains in search of other items. After all, there were many rare medicinal herbs in the icy plains. For an ordinary person, once they found one, they would not have to worry about it for the rest of their lives.
Feng Hao did not directly enter the icy plains. Instead, he chose to stay at the gathering point for a night. He wanted to obtain some information about the icy plains from the mouths of these people. Even if he was a Half-step Great Emperor expert, if he recklessly intruded into the icy plains, he might provoke some extremely terrifying exotic beasts in the icy plains. That would bring disaster upon himself.
There were many people coming and going at the gathering point at the edge of the icy plains. As Feng Hao walked on the street, he noticed that the people around him were in a hurry. Moreover, everyone's brows were tightly furrowed. Immediately, Feng Hao was taken aback.
This place was a little strange, and the atmosphere was a little off. As Feng Hao looked around, he wanted to head to the hall to get some information. However, along the way, no one paid any attention to him. Even the passersby that he deliberately stopped only gave him a glance and left without a word.
Faced with this situation, Feng Hao became suspicious. At this moment, he saw a rather large inn in front of him, and immediately walked over. However, what made him even more suspicious was that there was no business in this inn. The entrance was cold and empty, and only the shopkeeper and the waiter were standing there listlessly.
When they saw Feng Hao enter, the shopkeeper and the waiter became spirited, and hurriedly greeted Feng Hao politely, "Are you here to stay?"
Feng Hao glanced around. The environment of this inn was quite good, and there was only one inn in this gathering point. How could the business be so bad? Immediately, he opened his mouth and said, "I am indeed here to stay, but why is there not a single customer here? Is there a problem?"
When he heard that Feng Hao wanted to stay, the smile on the shopkeeper's old face bloomed like a chrysanthemum. He took a few steps forward and enthusiastically pulled Feng Hao's hand, "How is that possible? Look at how clean this inn is, there is absolutely no problem."
"Then why is there not a single person here?" Feng Hao pretended to be suspicious.
The shopkeeper came online and sized up Feng Hao, then said in a certain tone, "Dear customer, you just arrived here today."
Feng Hao nodded his head, and his heart could not help but be interested. Could it be that something happened here?
"Sigh, no wonder you don't know." Seeing that Feng Hao nodded his head, the shopkeeper also sighed. He glanced around the inn, then said in a low voice, "This is not because of my place, but because the entire gathering point is haunted."
"Haunted."
Hearing this answer, Feng Hao could not help but chuckle. He did not expect that it would be such an awkward reason. Haunted? What a joke.
Seeing Feng Hao's expression, the shopkeeper also said in a low voice, "Don't doubt it. Some time ago, even a Saint-level expert was killed by a ferocious ghost."
Saint-level expert.
Hearing these words, the smile on Feng Hao's face instantly froze. He sensed that something unusual had happened here. Even a Saint-level expert had died, so it was definitely not a ferocious ghost.
Green Sky Archdevil Sovereign. All of a sudden, this thought flashed across Feng Hao's mind, and he clenched his fists tightly. Before coming here, the Radiant Sun Sovereign had told him about the recent incidents of Saint-level experts being killed one after another. He did not expect that such a thing would happen in such a remote ice field.
Seeing that Feng Hao's expression was frozen, the shopkeeper said in a low voice, "What? Are you afraid now? Even a Saint-level expert has died, and more than one of them. Because of this matter, the entire gathering point is in a state of panic. Many experts that entered the ice field have directly left, fearing that they would be the next target of the ferocious ghost."
"Can you tell me the whole story?" Feng Hao's expression returned to normal, and he looked at the shopkeeper with a smile. If he could understand this matter, he might be able to guess if this matter was related to the Green Sky Archdevil Sovereign.
"This …" The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, and revealed a difficult expression. However, his eyes were still sweeping back and forth between Feng Hao's body. Seeing this situation, Feng Hao also smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will stay in your shop. You just need to tell me about this matter."
"Sigh, it's not like I can't tell you. Everyone here knows about it." The shopkeeper pulled Feng Hao to find a chair and sat down, and began to tell him about the recent events in the ice field.
It turned out that about a week ago, a Saint-level expert had just returned from the ice field. Originally, a Saint-level expert was equivalent to a legendary existence in everyone's heart, and in a short period of time, the appearance of this Saint-level expert caused quite a commotion.
That Saint-level expert had also stayed in this inn, but on the second day, his corpse appeared at the entrance of the inn. Moreover, the state of his death was extremely horrifying. His entire body was withered, and there was not a single drop of blood.
This matter naturally caused countless people to panic, and rumors began to spread, saying that it was haunted. It was said that some people even heard an extremely mournful wail that night. Originally, if the matter was so simple, it would have been fine, but three days ago, the elder brother of the deceased Saint-level expert came to the gathering point, and he was also a Saint-level expert.
When he knew that his younger brother's head was separated from his body, he immediately went crazy, and almost turned the place upside down. He said that he must capture the murderer and take revenge for his younger brother.
