357: Yang Pingyuan’s question!

“Firstly, since our Six Veins entered the ruins, we have been heading straight for the inner perimeter. After meeting up there, we went directly to the core area and did not hunt Immortal Demon Beastss!”

“Secondly, ever since we received the order, we have been rushing here without stopping. How could any other Six Veins cultivator have arrived earlier?”

“Thirdly, if you look closely at the aura of the Holy Lord’s bloodline in this blood, isn't it much stronger than ours? I heard that the Chang Sheng Pulse remnant is the purest Holy Lord’s bloodline in a hundred thousand years, which explains it perfectly.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Cang nodded and gave a thumbs up, saying,

“You’re still amazing. My mind was a bit stuck for a moment, and I didn't think of these things.”

“Hehe, not at all, but next, I’ll need you to find the way. You know, I’m not very good at tracking.”

Wu Cang smiled and said,

“Alright! I used to be an assassin. When it comes to tracking, I'm an expert! Let's go!”

So, the two began to follow the clues, constantly approaching Su Lin Yun’s location.

Although the heavy snow still made tracking quite difficult, in the end, the two still arrived within a hundred miles of Su Lin Yun.

“Stop!”

“Brother Wu Cang, what’s wrong?”

Wu Cang said gravely,

“We can’t go any further. If we go further, there’s a risk of exposure, and we’ll alert the enemy. So, you quickly go back and report this to the Vein Master, and I’ll keep watch here!”

“Alright, Brother Wu, I’ll trouble you then. I’ll be back!”

“Don’t worry!”

As he spoke, the person was about to leave. Wu Cang saw this and quickly called out to remind him,

“Idiot, go this way! That direction is where the Chang Sheng Pulse remnant is!”

“Oh… Thank you for the reminder, Brother Wu…”

…

Just as that cultivator was going home to report, over on Lu Hao’s side.

Zhuo Yongyi had already led his small team north for two days and two nights.

During this period, they only encountered five small gathering places and didn't see a single medium-sized one!

This meager harvest had clearly caused dissatisfaction among the other cultivators in the team.

They joined the Yi Tian Alliance to obtain immortal qi, not to wander around like headless chickens!

So, on the third day, a cultivator at the late stage of tribulation finally couldn't hold back and approached Zhuo Yongyi.

“Captain Zhuo, where are we going? Everyone knows that this is a land of ten-thousand-year glaciers, and the Immortal Demon Beastss are far less numerous than in the south. Why do we keep going forward?”

Upon hearing what this cultivator said, Zhuo Yongyi also hesitated.

To be honest, he was also very dissatisfied with the past two days' harvest. He had originally planned to find one or two large Immortal Demon Beasts gathering places for the Vice Alliance Master to hunt, but now he hadn't even found a medium-sized one.

Even if there were no medium-sized ones, there were only five small ones!

This harvest could be said to be extremely scarce.

“Lu Daoyou, I intend to explore the situation in the north on this trip. Since we’ve already traveled for two days and two nights, wouldn’t it be a waste of time to turn back now? How about we wait and see?”

Yang Pingyuan’s expression was not good when he heard Zhuo Yongyi’s words. He disagreed with Zhuo Yongyi’s statement, so he slowly walked in front of Zhuo Yongyi and said firmly,

“Captain Zhuo, you also know that most forces focus on hunting Immortal Demon Beastss in the south. Only those whose strength is truly too weak go north. You should be very clear why no one comes north!”

“Due to a decision-making issue, the past two days were wasted, but it’s no big deal. However, if we go further in, it will only waste more time, Captain Zhuo. It’s okay to realize your mistake and turn back.”

Upon hearing Yang Pingyuan’s words, Zhuo Yongyi was at a loss for how to refute him.

He somewhat agreed with Yang Pingyuan’s statement in his heart.

So he brought Yang Pingyuan before Lu Hao.

Lu Hao was leisurely watching the snow fall, the ground covered in silver, and holding a pot of warm wine in his hand, looking quite at ease.

As soon as Yang Pingyuan saw Lu Hao in this state, he spoke before Zhuo Yongyi could.

“Lu Hao! You’re quite carefree, riding your mount and drinking wine. Do you know that your suggestion will make us return empty-handed from this trip?”

Seeing this, Zhuo Yongyi quickly stepped in to mediate, saying,

“Lu Daoyou, please calm down. I believe Lu Daoyou has his reasons for suggesting this, and he certainly has no other intentions.”

“Lu Daoyou, what do you think we should do in this situation? Should we stop now and head south, or…?”

Lu Hao looked at the two with a chuckle, took a sip of wine, and said confidently,

“South? What good things could there be in the south? What if I told you that last night I observed the celestial phenomena, and about eight hundred thousand miles north of here, there should be a large Immortal Demon Beasts gathering place, Captain Zhuo, do you believe me?”

Upon hearing Lu Hao’s words, Yang Pingyuan immediately began to retort,

“What a joke! A cultivator’s divine sense is greatly suppressed in the ruins. Let alone eight hundred thousand miles, it’s impossible to detect even eighty thousand miles. How could you, a late-stage tribulation cultivator, know about things eight hundred thousand miles away?”

“Don’t keep spouting nonsense here. Although I don’t know what your purpose is, no matter what, you can’t make our entire team waste their time on your foolishness!”

Zhuo Yongyi also said with some skepticism,

“Lu Daoyou, it’s not that I don’t believe you, but what Yang Daoyou said does make sense. How about you tell me your basis, and then I’ll make a decision?”

Lu Hao gently hung the wine pot on the ox horn, looked at the surrounding land, and said with a chuckle,

“Yang Daoyou, Captain Zhuo, do you think there’s anything unusual about the Immortal Demon Beastss we’ve encountered along the way?”

“Anything unusual?”

Yang Pingyuan frowned and thought for a moment:

“There’s nothing unusual, besides their extremely scarce numbers, it’s quite normal.”

Zhuo Yongyi also echoed,

“That’s right, besides being very few, there’s nothing else abnormal.”

Lu Hao slowly shook his head and said,

“That is precisely the most abnormal thing.”

“What do you mean?”

Both of them were a bit unclear about Lu Hao’s words, so they spoke out in confusion together.

“I ask you, is it a fact that the number of Immortal Demon Beastss in the north is less than in the south?”

“That’s right, what about it?”

“But don’t you find it strange? Even if the Immortal Demon Beastss here are few, it’s impossible to only encounter so few along the way. Didn’t the intelligence you received before entering the ruins explain this?”

Lu Hao, knowing the distribution of Immortal Demon Beastss within a million-mile radius, naturally knew what had happened.
