Chapter 1017 - Extreme North
In the following days, Liu Wuxie launched a broader search, handing out portraits of Xu Lingxue and Murong Yi. Soon after, scouts poured in with reports. Nearly all reported sightings of Xu Lingxue and Murong Yi heading toward the extreme north, so the search teams redirected their search toward there.
Days flew by as they trekked through mountains and rivers, covering vast terrain in just over ten days. Along the way, they faced hostile receptions, broke into scuffles, and several Renowned Sword Manor disciples suffered injuries after accidentally barging into nunneries.
Once the three teams regrouped, Miao Jianying pointed toward the distant north. "Brother Liu, up ahead lies the extreme north, and very few people live out there."
An endless white plain stretched before them, blanketed in thick glacial ice. It was a barren, lifeless world.
Northern City spanned over a wide area, but most people lived in concentrated zones, as survival in places like this was nearly impossible.
The howling wind and cold made every breath feel like shards of ice scraping their throats. More importantly, the spiritual energy here pressed down oppressively. It was far too dense for human cultivation. Only the truly gifted could endure a place like this.
Liu Wuxie activated Ghost Eye to scan hundreds of miles into the distance.
"Does anyone even live here?"
He saw no trace of vegetation, let alone any sign of human life.
Miao Jianying shook his head after a pause. "No, I've never heard of anyone surviving out here."
"Wait—I just remembered something!" Ji Qiu exclaimed, slapping his thigh as he stared into the distance.
