Chapter 187: Reluctant to Leave Home

Wanfeng, I have some questions that I don't understand!"Wan Hongbo's face was also extremely gloomy, because those invisible ripples were like shackles, binding him. They clearly suppressed his cultiv...Although the elder did not emanate any trace of energy, he appeared to be just an ordinary old man in his twilight years.

But his words were laced with a biting chill, turning this small snow hut, already frigid to the extreme, into an instant ice cellar.

For this biting cold, Ginger Cloud's expression remained unchanged, still sporting a slight smile: "I've saved quite a few demons!"

This concise answer from Jiang Yun made the old man take a deep look at him, and then a smile suddenly appeared on his aged face. "My place is rather humble, please sit down!"

This place is more than just poor, it's completely empty. However, Jiang Yun was very decisive and simply sat down on the ground with a thud.

And as he sat down, a hint of surprise, which had not been there before, flickered across his face that had remained unchanged.

Because he could clearly feel that the ground beneath him was actually hot!

Although the temperature wasn't high, in this icy and snowy landscape, under the heavy blanket of snow, there was actually heat radiating out. This surprised Ginger Cloud a little.

The elder obviously knew the doubts in Ginger Cloud's heart, but instead of explaining, he went straight to the point: "You have changed your appearance!"

As for this, Jiang Yun was no longer surprised.

If the other party could sense their own well-hidden bloody aura, then it wouldn't be strange for them to see through this face of mine as not being my true appearance.

However, Jiang Yun chose silence, neither admitting nor refuting.

The elder seemed not to mind Jiang Yun's answer, and continued, "Although I feel that you don't seem to be a demon clan, but rather a human, the density of demonic energy on your body makes me unable to determine it."

"I don't care what your identity is. Since you came to my Snow Clan and saved several of my clan's children, I want to make a deal with you."

After finishing his words, the old man looked at Jiang Yun and remained silent.

Although the old man did not specify the contents of the deal, Jiang Yun could guess that it was nothing more than asking him to help the Xue clan.

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Yun spoke, "As for the trade, there's no need!"

"I came here to do my part, but I also have limited time and other things I need to attend to. So, I can't stay here for too long."

The elder smiled and said, "Don't jump to conclusions just yet. Wait until you hear the details of the deal!"

Jiang Yun closed his mouth, and the old man continued, "You should be about to condense a blessed land, but it seems you don't know how to do it."

"I can share my insights from cultivating my spiritual energy land with you for your reference. It might be helpful to you."

"During your time with my Snow Clan, we will do our utmost to provide you with everything you need!"

Besides that, I allow you to enter my snow tribe's sacred grounds once!

As for the elder's last words, about the Snow Clan's sacred land, Jiang Yun didn't pay much attention. What he cared about were the first two sentences!

Being able to gather in a place of prosperity is now the most urgent and desired thing for Jiang Yun.

If one could obtain the elder's insights, it would be of great benefit to him.

"The terms of the trade are simple: you stay with my clan until we leave this place, a mere three months."

"Leaving" Jiang Yun slightly raised her head, a look of surprise on her face, but it quickly returned to calm.

It's hard to leave one's homeland.

Although the Xue Clan is unwilling to submit to Wan Yao Gu and they do not wish to leave this mountain valley where they have lived for countless years, in the face of the accelerating disaster of the Jie Hai's annexation, if they want to survive, they have no choice but to leave this place and find a more suitable place to live.

Although this approach is not a long-term solution, it can at least resolve the immediate crisis.

> Jiangyun is very curious, though. He wants to know if this elder of the Xue clan has already figured out where he intends to relocate his people.

After all, the entire Beishan Prefecture is already quite unsettled.

And if one wants to leave Beishan Prefecture, it not only takes a considerable amount of time, but the entire process is incredibly arduous!

Three months is not enough at all!

"You misunderstand me!" the old man said with a smile. "I don't need your help with the relocation. I just need you to stay in this valley for three months."

Perhaps, three months wouldn't be enough. But during this time, if a powerful enemy attacks, I hope you will do your best to help the Snow Tribe resist them.

And when the time comes for us to relocate, we can give you a ride as well. No matter where you want to go, we can help you save a lot of time.

After hearing the elder's explanation, Jiang Yun finally understood.

The Snow Tribe must have other ways to migrate, such as teleportation arrays.

It just takes some time to prepare, but now this area is extremely turbulent.

Given the current strength of the Snow Clan, it would be difficult for them to survive this preparation period. Therefore, I hope to stay and help them.

Although three months is not a short period of time, it is at least within Jiang Yun's acceptable range.

Because he is condensing a blessed land, he also needs to prepare things like a large amount of spiritual energy.

The old man's last words touched him deeply.

After all, if he traveled on his own, in three months he wouldn't even make it out of Beishan Prefecture. But if the Snow Clan were willing to give him a ride, then that would mean leaving the travel time to them.

However, Jiang Yun still didn't agree immediately, but looked at the elder and said, "Why are you looking for me"

Jiang Yun knows himself well.

Even though I am at the Twelfth Stage of the Pulse Meridian Realm, my true strength is still quite weak. I can still resist cultivators within the Third Stage of the Blessed Land, but if they surpass this realm, I can only run away.

This level of strength is simply not worth the Xue Clan spending any resources to recruit, after all, under the same conditions, a stronger helper could be found.

The old man sighed and said, "Because throughout the entire Beishan Prefecture, my Xue Clan has no demons we can trust!"

This answer reveals the helplessness of the old man and the entire Snow Clan.

Even in a vast province like Beishanzhou, there wasn't a single demon clan to trust and seek help from. Therefore, he had no choice but to ally with Jiangyun, who clearly didn't belong to Beishanzhou.

Jiang Yun smiled wryly and nodded. "Alright, I agree. However, I can only stay here for three months at most, and my strength is limited. If a strong enemy invades, I will certainly do my best to help, but I cannot guarantee the outcome."

"Do one's best and submit to Heaven's will!"

Seeing that Jiang Yun had finally agreed, the old man also let go of a worry in his heart. He spoke aloud, sending his voice out of Luesnow Cottage and throughout the entire valley.

"From this moment on, Yun Shan Daoist is a distinguished guest of our Xue Clan. You must do everything in your power to fulfill his requests. Whoever dares to disrespect him again will be showing disrespect to me!"

The mountain valley's Snow Clan people, hearing the elder's words, all showed surprise on their faces.

Especially Xueqing and Xue'luan, they simply couldn't believe their ears.

The elder looked back at Jiang Yun and said, “Now, I will pass on my understanding from when I condensed the blessed land to you. It is only my Xue clan's sacred ground, and you can only enter it before our clan migration begins!”

Actually, Gingercloud didn't care about the Snow Tribe's sacred land at all. He even didn't really need the understanding of gathering blessings.

He stayed because he genuinely wanted to help the Snow Tribe, which bore too many similarities to his own village of Ginger.

Thank you!

As soon as the words left his mouth, the elder pointed a finger at Jiang Yun's brow. A bubble of light instantly disappeared into Jiang Yun's body. Inside it, fluorescence flickered, as if possessing a spirit of its own.

Ginger also stood up and bid farewell, turning to leave. Outside the snow hut, Xueqing, who had been anxiously waiting, hurried to greet him.

Looking at this scene, an old man let out a long sigh and muttered to himself, "If I'm not mistaken, this child should be the human cultivator that the Daoist friend entrusted me with the Snow Clan to find and protect, Jiang Yun!"

Whether he stays or leaves doesn't matter. What's important is that if he truly encounters danger, I believe that friend would definitely not stand idly by!

"I don't know, I guess we'll see if I got it right this time!"
