Chapter 1381: Complete Understanding

After several rounds of turmoil, the Snow Tribe had declined to the extreme, with only ten thousand members left.

Yet the Snow Tribe was unlucky, soon facing a second blow.

That was the Foreign Tribe.

After the Alien Evil Artifact arrived here, the first hideout it found was the Snow Region.

Because this place is remote, it suits their concealment and expansion.

So for a time, all creatures here—ferocious beasts, spirits, and the like—were poisoned by them.

After discovering this, the Snow Tribe took on the duty of protecting the Snow Region and fought the Foreign Tribe.

However, because they were too kind, they repeatedly fell into traps, and eventually the Snow Tribe, now tainted by the Foreign Tribe, stormed Snow City.

Fortunately the Snow Tribe finally won, wiping out all the tainted Snow Tribe in a single battle, and freezing the three Foreign Tribe leaders, as a warning to future generations.

Then the Snow Tribe swept across the entire Snow Region, preventing the Foreign Tribe from developing further.

Yet the Snow Tribe itself now had only a hundred members left.

But fate seemed to oppose them, bringing another crisis.

A party of explorers, taking advantage of the chaos, followed the Snow Tribe into Snow City and began to poison them wildly.

The whole Snow Tribe had always fought honorably and never expected to be poisoned.

Consequently the Snow Tribe instantly lost its combat ability and was slaughtered again by those explorers.

And the Snow Tribe woman Ye Liuyun had just rescued, named Man Shu, had at that time been secretly hidden by a man surnamed Xie into the Space World.

This man was Xie Tianhong's father.

At first Man Shu thought the man intended to save her, but her nightmare began from that moment.

The man instead gouged out her core elixir, used poison to kill most of her Soul, leaving only a trace, and then gave her an antidote.

And after this party of explorers slaughtered the Snow Tribe, they themselves were all poisoned to death by that man.

He wanted to monopolize the resources here.

After killing everyone, the man released Man Shu, letting her guide him to the Treasure Vault where the resources were stored.

Unable to endure the man's ruthless torment, Man Shu had to agree.

Yet when she led the man past the three Foreign Tribe statues frozen in ice, she suddenly had an idea and told him that breaking the three statues would reveal the entrance to the treasure.

The man took her at face value, thinking they were just three ice carvings and that Man Shu wouldn't dare lie.

In fact Man Shu had seen her tribe brutally killed; the Snow Tribe had been annihilated.

She herself had fallen into the enemy's hands and contemplated dying together with them.

The man casually blasted at the three ice statues; as a result, two of the Foreign Tribe, having been frozen too long, had their Souls completely frozen to death, leaving only one Foreign Tribe's Soul still alive.

Thus the man's Soul was immediately possessed by that Foreign Tribe.

After the Foreign Tribe seized the nest, they merely extracted the core elixirs from the three Foreign Tribe corpses.

Then they took Man Shu, left Snow City, sought Demon Cultivators, polluted them with evil aura, turning them into their puppets.

Yet the Foreign Tribe itself did not touch the evil aura, in order to avoid detection by humans.

Afterwards, he used Snow City as a base for Demon Cultivators, letting them begin slaughtering Human Martial Cultivators.

But when the Demon Cultivators were weak, their ambition was exposed, and Human Martial Cultivators discovered them and carried out a thorough purge.

At that time many Demon Beasts also suffered.

Thus the untainted Demon Beasts sealed their offspring and hid them in Beast Mountain.

The Foreign Tribe, after failing, retreated to Snow City, then let several of its sons secretly build influence, searching everywhere for Demon Cultivators, especially those skilled in techniques.

To develop Demon Cultivators on a large scale, suitable Demon Cultivator techniques are required.

At that time many techniques had been destroyed by Human Martial Cultivators.

Even those privately kept dared not reveal them.

However, the Foreign Tribe itself does not know Demon Cultivator techniques.

Therefore, it needs Demon Cultivator masters to help train a Demon Cultivator army and teach the techniques.

And Xie Tianhong has a stone that can test whether a Martial Cultivator is a Demon Cultivator.

Such a thing was invented long ago during the great war with Demon Cultivators.

However, Ye Liuyun did not know that.

Ye Liuyun, upon learning this place, fully understood Xie Tianhong's intention.

He immediately thought that the Foreign Tribe was still in Snow City.

Without a Snow Tribe guide, he cannot enter or exit Snow City.

Man Shu's gesture to tell him not to come in was a warning that this place was a trap.

He finally realized that Xie Tianhong had long known he was a Demon Cultivator, and patiently set a trap to lure him here.

But the current main problem is not Xie Tianhong, but that Foreign Tribe.

According to Man Shu's memory, that Foreign Tribe's Soul power is strong, but its realm is average.

Because it uses a Human Martial Cultivator's body and has not cultivated with the Foreign Tribe's evil aura, its realm advancement is slow.

Based on its previous cultivation speed, it is now at most a Sixth Layer Heavenly Venerable Martial Cultivator.

"Even I can't defeat a Sixth Layer Heavenly Venerable Martial Cultivator!"

Ye Liuyun now grew anxious and immediately consulted the Sealing Demon Tablet.

The Sealing Demon Tablet was also uncertain, saying it would have to see later.

At the same time, Ye Liuyun promptly awakened Man Shu.

Soul Search seems to take a long time, but that is within the Soul world.

In reality, to outsiders it is only a moment, and it did not arouse Xie Tianhong's suspicion.

Soul Searching Technique usually damages the Soul.

Man Shu's Divine Soul Power is so weak that she cannot withstand Soul Searching Technique at all.

Moreover, Xie Tianhong subjectively believes that all Soul Searching Techniques will damage the Soul.

After Man Shu was awakened, seeing that Ye Liuyun was taking care of her, she immediately became lucid, secretly tugged at his sleeve, and gestured for him to leave.

Seeing this, Xie Tianhong also nervously watched Ye Liuyun's actions.

Ye Liuyun smiled faintly, pretending not to care.

He merely sent a Transmission Voice to Man Shu, saying: "I just used Soul Searching Technique to learn about your Snow Tribe and your experiences."

You must believe me; since I dare to come, I am confident I can eliminate that Foreign Tribe and help you retake Xuecheng.

Now you must not show any abnormal behavior; just do as I say.

Afterward, Ye Liuyun, in front of Xie Tianhong, pretended to say to her: "You might as well obediently show the way; why insist on getting beaten?"

Upon hearing this, Man Shu looked at Ye Liuyun doubtfully, but ultimately could only helplessly lead the way ahead.

As she walked, she suddenly realized that although Ye Liuyun used Divine Sense to shield her from absorbing external power, he was instead using his own Divine Sense power to supply her, strengthening her Divine Soul Power.

"In order to prevent Xie Tianhong from suspecting, I can only continue to shield your Divine Soul Power, but you can now absorb mine, at least reaching a level where we can communicate, which would be convenient."

Ye Liuyun gave her another Transmission Voice.
