Chapter 71 Heading Towards the Snowfield, I Trust You
Don't worry, this snowy region is my home turf. I'll find a way to escape when the time comes! You don't need to worry about me!
Tang Wulin wondered, when did the snowy region become Huo Yuhao's home ground?
However, when Tang Wulin thought of Huo Yuhao's two martial souls in history, he understood. It was probably during this period that Huo Yuhao mastered the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, the ultimate martial soul.
Of course, Tang Wulin wasn't quite sure whether there had ever been any evil spirit masters hunting him down in history.
Thinking of this, Tang Wulin calmly asked, "How many of them are there? What are their cultivation levels?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, maybe seventeen or eighteen people, averaging around four or five rings, the highest being six rings. By the way, why aren't you leaving yet? Wasn't I clear enough?"
Tang Wulin said, "They won't kill you. What if there are internal disagreements among them?"
Huo Yuhao said, "Impossible! Anyone who hangs out with those people must be a bad guy!"
Seeing Tang Wulin's silence, Huo Yuhao assumed he was afraid and quickly said:
"Now you're scared, aren't you! Hurry up and run! It'll be too late if you wait any longer!"
Tang Wulin asked, "Who do they want to kill?"
Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then subconsciously replied, "It seems so..."
Just then, Huo Yuhao suddenly sensed something and quickly leaped forward, pushing Tang Wulin into the mud.
Water splashed everywhere, and the two hid among the water plants.
Looking at Tang Wulin lying quietly in the mud, Huo Yuhao said with a hint of apology:
"I'm so sorry! But don't make a sound, they're coming!"
If we do find us, don't worry, I'll protect you!
Unaware of Tang Wulin's slightly teasing gaze, Huo Yuhao quietly turned around, lay down, and silently gazed in a certain direction behind him.
Soon after, several figures quickly approached and stopped when they were not far from the two.
Tang Wulin could tell at a glance that these people's cultivation levels were similar to what Huo Yuhao had said, and they were indeed evil soul masters, but...
Tang Wulin sneered inwardly; the robe he was wearing seemed somewhat familiar.
Looking at the endless snowfield before them, the leader said, "That little monkey must have run inside!"
A voice behind them said, "Damn it! It's so cold! That kid only has a ten-year spirit ring! He'll freeze to death if he runs in! Boss! Should we keep chasing him?"
The leader hesitated for a moment, then said:
"No! We have to chase after them! That guy's skills are a bit strange! Those last two moves were clearly the style of an evil spirit master!"
"If he overhears what we're talking about, and if he's a member of the church and manages to escape, what if he goes back and tells the Holy Son? We're going to die either way! We might as well take a gamble! Chase after him!"
With the leader's encouragement, the remaining members also mustered their courage, took a step forward, and disappeared into the snowstorm not far away in the blink of an eye.
Watching the figures of the others gradually disappear, Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief. The cold mud on the ground made him shiver.
He wiped the water from his face, but his soaked sleeves only made him wetter. Huo Yuhao quickly turned to Tang Wulin beside him and said:
"Are you alright? We've already left! You should go too!"
Tang Wulin remained lying quietly in the water, smiling as he looked at him, and said:
"And what about you? They've entered the snowfield now, aren't you leaving?"
Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"I'm not leaving. I have important business to attend to in the far north, which concerns my fate and future. I have to do this. In the vast snowfield, they will have a hard time finding me."
Tang Wulin nodded and said, "I see."
Huo Yuhao asked, "Then will you leave?"
Tang Wulin said, "I'm not leaving."
Huo Yuhao grew anxious and asked, "Why?"
Tang Wulin said, "Because I also have something to do, which I think is quite important."
Huo Yuhao asked, "What is it?"
Tang Wulin said, "I can't tell you the specifics; I need to find some medicinal herbs."
Huo Yuhao asked, "What kind of rare treasures? Can't we buy them anywhere else?"
Tang Wulin smiled and said, "Just pretend I have no money. This is my secret. I've never told anyone. You have to keep it a secret for me."
Upon hearing these words of great trust, Huo Yuhao, who had been sensitive and insecure in the past, was deeply moved.
A warm feeling welled up inside Huo Yuhao, and he nodded, then asked Tang Wulin:
"What kind of rare and precious treasure do you need? Tell me! Maybe I can help you find it!"
Tang Wulin didn't speak, but simply smiled and shook his head.
Huo Yuhao asked in confusion, "Why?"
Tang Wulin said, "I've already said this, I can only tell you this."
Huo Yuhao asked in confusion, "But I'm the only one here."
Tang Wulin looked at him, a hint of teasing in his eyes, and said, "Alone? Are you sure?"
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, a sinister voice sounded from behind him.
"There's a sound there! Boss! Your trick worked! He was hiding there! Brothers! Grab him!"
