A great gale blew over, causing the leaves to dance wildly in the wind. Thousands of layers of sand were swept up, and many weeds were uprooted. This was the northern Lu Continent, a bitter and cold place.
Ye Fan and the others crossed the strait, heading northwest to this place. They already didn't care about what happened behind them, but news continuously entered their ears. The Golden Crow Race was defeated, many experts flapping their wings and fleeing to the ends of the world. The entire world was shocked.
Who would have thought that the child from back then would grow to such an extent? He had returned after so many years of exile, killing the Golden Crow Race into a mountain of corpses.
Ye Tong had slaughtered his way to fame on the North Star. Everything he did was for the sake of avenging his parents. Those who had taken action in the past were all within his hunting range.
The starry skies were stained with blood, and the fiendish earth was filled with the blood of the Golden Crow Race.
The divine continent, He Continent, and Lu Continent were all in an uproar. A grand and powerful race had fallen just like that. Even their ancestral ground had been destroyed. This shocked the entire world.
The Golden Crow Race was finished! This was the consensus of the people.
On this day, many people took action to add insult to injury. The major powers and some powerful rogue cultivators specifically targeted lone Golden Crows, almost wiping out the race.
As for the Golden Crow Race's inheritance, it was naturally divided up cleanly. This was the reality. When a fierce tiger fell, a pack of wolves would rise up and attack it. A grand and powerful race was annihilated.
The Golden Crow King's head was personally beheaded by Ye Tong and placed in front of the Solar Court's ruins to be used as a blood sacrifice. On this day, Ye Tong cried loudly. The hatred and sorrow he had suppressed for many years were all vented out. The divine continent in the east was in an uproar, and the northern Lu Continent was not peaceful either. Many people heard the news and went to fish in troubled waters. All of this had nothing to do with Ye Fan and Li Tian, and no one paid attention to it.
The destruction of the Golden Crow Race was imminent, so there was no need for them to take action or pay attention. Finding the little girl was the most important thing.
However, there were also people who followed their tracks after seeing them display their might. They vaguely felt that there was something wrong with these three and wanted to find out what was going on.
In the world, who knew how many pairs of eyes were watching the situation.
"Do these people have dog noses? They actually want to follow us!" Li Tian said.
In this world, there naturally weren't many people who could chase after them. They could get rid of them in an instant, but there were still those who persevered. Some of the major powers had secretly investigated and spied on the path they had taken in the past few days. When they discovered that they had been heading northwest, they were all suspicious.
The northern wind blew the white grass off the ground. In the northwest, there were some places where snowflakes drifted down all year round.
The more Ye Fan walked, the more he frowned. Little Nan Nan's frail body, could it be that she really had to survive in this bitter land? He was a little worried.
"Presumably, only in the bitterly cold lands can one avoid those sacred sects. The denser the spiritual qi, the more dangerous it is," Yan Yixi said.
How did Little Nan Nan run to such a faraway place by herself? This made people puzzled, and they probably wouldn't be able to explain it either. The pitiful little girl had a lot of secrets.
"Is that little girl special? Why are you all so nervous?" Godchild curled his lips.
"Don't talk so much, no one will think you're mute." Li Tian habitually gave him a slap on the butt.
"Pervert, I'll remember this. This is the 105th slap. You'll regret it in the future!" Little Fatty said angrily.
Mountain ranges rose and fell. Some regions were covered in white snow, while others were lush green. This was the north, the bitterly cold land. Different places had different appearances.
Of course, the peak was definitely silvery white. Only below the mountainside would there be greenery, but occasionally it would be completely covered by snowflakes.
Passing by a small town, Ye Fan saw a child begging on the street. He immediately rushed over, but was extremely disappointed. Although their ages were similar, they weren't the same person.
He left behind some food and secretly gave her some money before silently retreating.
When they reached the north, the resources were barren, and the mortals lived in poverty. It was far from being comparable to the warm south. There were many wanderers, and all of them were heading south.
Half a month later, they entered the ice plains. It was even colder here. It was completely the scenery of the north, and the cold wind whistled.
Of course, there were also some special places in the bitterly cold land. Spiritual qi flowed, transforming the frigid ice and snow into streams. There were oases where vegetation grew.
Here, Ye Fan's brows furrowed even more.
"Gu!"
In the distance, there were snow-white Ice Crows flying about. They were a special type of mourning birds. They were similar to crows, but their entire bodies were snow-white, and their cries were also the same.
A savage beast died, attracting several hundred mourning birds. They pecked at the ice and ate the rotten bones. The scene was drenched in blood.
"These mourning birds have demonic energy, and some of them are almost dead. There are some special savage beasts and demonic birds in the bitterly cold land. Although ordinary people can kill them, it really isn't easy to live in this kind of environment," Yan Yixi said.
Along the way, they saw the hardships of living in the bitter land. Whether a piece of land was fertile or not, it was related to the survival of some races.
"There are some people who can really act recklessly. Even though they don't know the reason, they still sent out so many people. They similarly headed northwest, and quite a few cultivators have appeared in the past few days."
"It seems there will be some twists and turns in the search for the little girl. These people smelled blood and might have guessed something."
Although there were people who had also found their way here, Ye Fan and the others weren't too worried. They only felt disgusted. These people seemed to have grown dog noses.
"The Reed Continent Immortal Tomb was left behind by my sect's ancestors. You all are not allowed to approach."
There were people in the northern lands who sharply sensed something and severely reprimanded the foreign powers. Otherwise, if they approached, they would create a story about the Reed Continent Immortal Tomb.
However, this naturally didn't have any effect. On the contrary, it made the number of people increase a bit.
A few great powers all carried an attitude of giving it a try. They sent out people. If they could find a divine treasury, then this trip wouldn't have been made in vain.
"Come, come, chase me!" This was a very desolate corner of the northwest. There was a stockaded village. Ice and snow swirled about, and a few children wearing beast skins ran through the snow, chasing each other.
Because these children were born in the bitter land, they were all quite vigorous. None of them were pampered and spoiled. A few of the older children even carried small wooden bows and arrows on their backs, shooting snow rabbits.
In the distance, in front of the stockaded village, a lonely little figure appeared. She gazed at the children in the stockaded village with longing and a bit of fear.
Her entire body was dirty, and her little clothes had long been torn. She was a real little beggar. Who knew how many times she had fallen in the world of ice and snow, and her body was covered in ice shards.
Her little face was red from the cold, and her clothes were tattered. She looked quite pitiful, and only her pair of large eyes could still be considered bright. They revealed a hopeful expression as she stared impatiently at the children in the stockaded village.
"The little beggar is here again …" a child shouted.
All the children looked over and looked at the little girl who was about three years old. They stared at her for a long time.
"Don't play with her!" a slightly older boy shouted.
"Little beggar, don't come anymore. We won't give you anything to eat. Hurry up and leave!" another person shouted.
"Hurry up and leave!" many people shouted.
The little girl who was about three years old lowered her head in grievance. She looked at her own tattered little shoes, and with tears in her eyes, she said in a small voice, "I didn't come for food. I just want to play with you all."
"I'm not playing with you. You're a monster!" a slightly older girl shouted angrily.
"Nannan is not a monster. I'm a human," the little girl said with grievance. She lowered her head even more, and tears swayed in her eyes.
"You're still saying you're not a monster? Grandpa Xu and grandma adopted you, but in the end, you still haven't grown up in almost ten years. They raised children for old age, but the two old people died first. You still haven't changed at all. It was you who killed Grandpa Xu and grandma," a teenage boy said angrily.
"It wasn't Nannan who killed grandpa and grandma. It really wasn't." The little girl shook her head. Tears fell from her eyes as she faced the snowy ground alone.
"Hurry up and leave. You're a monster. It was you who killed Grandpa Xu and grandma. Hurry up and leave!" many people shouted.
"Don't be like this. The little beggar is very pitiful. She wandered into our stockaded village like this. If we drive her out now, she will freeze or starve to death," a young girl said.
"Little grass, don't sympathize with her. She's a monster," another child refuted.
"She often forgets things. I really don't know what kind of monster she is."
"Nannan didn't forget everything. I remember Grandpa Xu and grandma. Nannan also remembers a big brother and a dog," the little girl said softly.
"Hmph, in the past, you often met us and sometimes forgot. We don't want to talk to you anymore."
"Nannan didn't do it on purpose. I don't know what happened. It wasn't like this in the past. Nannan might be sick," the little girl said timidly, tears swirling in her eyes.
"Forget it. She won't leave. Let's go. Don't care about her." Many children ran into the stockaded village.
The little girl turned around alone and wiped away her tears. Alone, she walked into the wind and snow. Her small figure made people's hearts ache.
"Little Nannan!" Someone called from behind. The girl named Little grass who had sympathized with her ran out and asked softly, "Are you hungry?"
"Very hungry," the little girl said softly with her head lowered.
"Here." Little grass took out some food and stuffed it into her hands.
"Little grass, come back quickly. She's a monster and will eat people. Last time, an old Daoist passed by here and took her into the demon pagoda to be refined. In the end, I heard that the old Daoist died instead, "a child shouted from behind.
"Little sister, thank you. Nannan has a pearl here. I'll give it to you." The little girl wiped away her tears and handed a diamond-like crystal to Little grass. She murmured, "This thing only appears when I'm the saddest. When Grandpa Xu and grandma passed away, it appeared beside me."
In the end, a little girl in tattered clothes walked into the distance alone against the wind and snow. Her lonely figure was almost drowned in the heavy snow.
Her voice was very young and her face was covered in tears. She murmured, "Nannan still remembers a big brother and a dog, but they're all gone …"
The wind and snow danced. The lonely little body left a shallow footprint in the snow, leading into the distance.
