Chapter 1364: Snow City Expedition

Yes, senior, please!

Xie Tianhong didn't waste words, directly taking Ye Liuyun and the others into the room, then taking out the demon dragon egg, placing it on the table, and having the clone handle it.

Ye Liuyun didn't mention using Xie Tianhong's blood this time, directly having the clone break the seal with demon qi.

He only had Xie Tianhong prepare some meat and energy to increase intimacy with the demon dragon.

But actually, after the demon dragon contacts his demon qi, it will become closer to him.

Ye Liuyun doing this is just having an extra precaution, leaving himself a backup.

He also noticed that when the clone released demon qi, Xie Tianhong's eyes showed a delighted expression.

But this isn't too unusual, after all it solved a problem for him.

All right! I should go now, farewell if fate allows!

After the clone finished speaking, demon qi spread all over its body, enveloping it.

Seeing off the senior!

Xie Tianhong didn't try to keep him.

When the demon qi dissipated, the clone was already gone.

Ye Liuyun had already used Space Translocation to move him back into the space for cultivation.

What cultivation method is this?

It can actually vanish out of thin air?

Xie Tianhong opened his mouth wide and asked Ye Liuyun in surprise.

How would I know!

Ye Liuyun pretended not to understand.

Xie Tianhong didn't ask further, immediately started feeding the demon dragon, and casually asked Ye Liuyun.

That black qi just now, is it demon qi?

You don't know?

He told me before, that's demon qi!

Ye Liuyun said.

I've only heard of it, never seen it!

Xie Tianhong replied.

Then he looked at the demon dragon and said: "This demon dragon's demon qi seems much weaker than that senior's just now!"

That's normal, right?

After all, the demon dragon's cultivation is low, only at the Yuan Dan Realm!

Ye Liuyun analyzed.

He looked at the demon dragon and felt it was very similar to Long Nv's true form, both black dragons.

Except the demon dragon naturally emits demon qi.

Xie Tianhong also nodded: "Mm, definitely the reason!"

After feeding the demon dragon full, he immediately stored it in the Storage Ring, then set a departure time with Ye Liuyun.

Everything's settled, how about we leave early tomorrow?

No problem, I can leave anytime!

Ye Liuyun confirmed.

Alright, come to my place early tomorrow and we'll leave together.

Xie Tianhong suggested.

After fixing the time, Ye Liuyun also immediately bade farewell and left.

On the way back, he stopped by the merchant guild and bought two of the fastest Flying Boats here, preparing to use them as transport.

He also bought a map.

Unfortunately, the maps sold here only cover part of the northern region, far short of Ye Liuyun's needs.

Afterward, he immediately returned to the inn to begin cultivation.

Before reaching Xuecheng, he wanted to compress his two flames further, perhaps they'd be useful then.

He also notified Lei Ming, telling her to train more in Ice Power lately.

In case there is an ice-attribute energy source then, she can absorb as much as possible.

Although Lei Ming rarely uses Ice Power, once this attribute power merges into True Essence, it will not disappear.

Liang Xue and Ye Tiandao were busy sewing capes from animal hides for Ye Liuyun and Ye Tiandao.

They weren't doing it because of the cold; it was entirely Liang Xue wanting them to look good.

However, to avoid exposure, the hides they used were also ordinary ferocious beasts from here.

At the appointed time, Ye Liuyun brought Ye Tiandao rushing to Xie Tianhong's residence.

Xie Tianhong was already waiting for them, having prepared a higher-grade Flying Boat.

Even the servant to pilot the Flying Boat had been arranged.

Your Flying Boat is of higher grade, so we'll hitch a ride with you!

Ye Liuyun laughed.

Brother Ye, please!

Xie Tianhong invited them aboard the Flying Boat, then directly took off northward.

After boarding the Flying Boat, Xie Tianhong told Ye Liuyun: "We still have over twenty days' journey to the northern Snow Region."

Brother Ye can cultivate first.

I want to eat something; just have the servants prepare it whenever! I've already instructed them.

Ye Liuyun also politely said: "Thank you for your trouble, Brother Xie! You should also cultivate; don't let us delay your progress."

Thus, they each went to their own cabins to cultivate quietly.

Ye Liuyun naturally brought Ye Tiandao back to the Xuan Kong Shi, not wanting to waste these twenty days.

Within the Xuan Kong Shi for two hundred days, even using the Foreign Tribe or Demon Race's primordial elixir would at least be enough for him to raise his realm to the mid-late stage of the Seventh Layer of Earth Sovereign.

However, he hasn't had much combat training lately; to break through to the Earth-Respect Eightfold, he still needs more training.

Xie Tianhong had also been cultivating in his cabin the whole way, without disturbing Ye Liuyun and the others.

Only when they were about to reach the Xueyu did he have his servant knock on the door to call Ye Liuyun and the others out.

Xie Tianhong explained to Ye Liuyun and the others: "Our flying boat will reach the edge of the Xueyu tomorrow."

The Xueyu has many powerful ferocious beasts and flying birds, so we will switch to on-foot travel to avoid the flying boat being attacked.

"No problem."

"How far is it from here to Xuecheng?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

Upon hearing that, Xie Tianhong laughed and said: "It seems you really don't understand many things; you should really go out and see the world!"

"How so?"

Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled.

"Xuecheng disappeared long ago."

"However, it occasionally reappears in the Xueyu."

"It is said that inside lie vast amounts of wealth and resources, which is why many people venture out to seek Xuecheng."

"We are also seeking Xuecheng, so we cannot confirm whether it will appear, or where it will appear."

Xie Tianhong explained.

"I see!"

Only then did Ye Liuyun realize they were going to seek Xuecheng.

"Is there any other relevant information to help us determine our direction of travel?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

"Xuecheng has never appeared at the edge of the Xueyu; therefore, the deeper one goes into the Xueyu, the greater the chance of finding it."

"Looking at the time, the Xueyu has not seen it for several years; this period should also be when it appears."

Xie Tianhong continued to introduce them.

He also explained some of the Xueyu's unique monsters, such as snow monsters and ice beasts, which Ye Liuyun had never seen before, so they could have a rough idea.

"Has anyone ever entered Xuecheng before?"

Ye Liuyun asked finally.

"Yes!"

Xie Tianhong told Ye Liuyun: "There are two."

"One is the present Nan Xiang Empire's Great Emperor, Luo Yi's grandfather."

"How did he run from the south to the extreme north?"

Ye Liuyun was somewhat puzzled.

Xie Tianhong also explained to Ye Liuyun: "When he was young, he hid his name and traveled around the northern regions, gathering intelligence and collecting resources."
