Chapter 1788: Snow Wolf

"You must understand, it is not that such strange things have never happened, but rather that many things have happened, and you simply haven't come into contact with them," Chen Yu said leisurely.

"Moreover, some things that have happened will not disappear with my departure; on the contrary, they will intensify. It cannot be said that you here in Fusang lack talent, but there are truly few who can resolve major issues."

"After I leave, some things can only be resolved by you yourselves. When that time comes, may you be blessed."

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he cast a deep glance at Chuan Naizi, then left this place with the Snow Woman.

Chuan Naizi stared blankly at Chen Yu's departing back; she knew that this time, it was truly possible that Chen Yu was leaving for good.

And this parting of theirs might mean they would never see each other again.

For some reason, there was a trace of reluctance in her heart, and even more, a trace of stinging pain.

It seemed as if some important person was about to leave.

She had never admitted that she liked Chen Yu, and from this point on, whenever she came into contact with any man, she would involuntarily compare him to Chen Yu.

And she would discover that no man she met in the future could compare to Chen Yu, and she was destined to be lonely for the rest of her life.

Of course, Chen Yu did not know that he would cause a woman to remain single for him for a lifetime; naturally, he had not provoked this woman, so he would not feel he had done anything wrong.

"She likes you," the Snow Woman said after they left; this sentence was quite articulate.

"What are you saying?" Chen Yu gave a bitter smile: "You don't understand human emotions."

"Although I don't understand, I... I can perceive your emotions," the Snow Woman said with a smile: "So I understand what is in her heart; from now on, I fear she will be unable to like anyone else."

"It doesn't matter, there aren't many men who can handle this woman anyway," Chen Yu said helplessly: "And I didn't provoke her."

"But after all, she is... because of you," the Snow Woman tilted her head and looked at Chen Yu: "Deep in your heart, you also hold someone."

Chen Yu was slightly stunned, his heart touched; he could not help but be surprised. It seemed the Snow Woman could truly peer into a person's heart.

"Yes, my heart holds someone," Chen Yu murmured: "I haven't had news of her for a long time."

"She will be fine, and you two will surely be very happy in the future," the Snow Woman said leisurely.

"Thank you," Chen Yu smiled. The Snow Woman's words were somewhat incoherent, but she was wishing him well.

At the peak of the Snow Mountain, deep within a certain barrier, a cave was hidden.

The light inside the cave was dim, and torches that never extinguished burned within.

On the stone walls of the cave were many recessed niches, and in each niche sat an elder; there were over ten elders living in the cave in total.

They sat cross-legged on the stone walls; every one of these elders was a highly skilled cultivator, and this place was exactly the Liehun Hall that Chen Yu was looking for.

It was just that these cultivators had their eyes tightly closed; they were in meditation.

Suddenly, the three elders at the very top opened their eyes; these three elders were the three top experts of Liehun Hall.

"Why hasn't the Snow Woman returned yet? She should have offered us blood food," one elder murmured.

"Could it be that something went wrong?" The elder on the left also opened his eyes: "Lord Guiwu, just now during meditation, I suddenly felt a sense of unease. That Hunter you prophesied who could destroy our Liehun Hall is likely coming."

"Is he coming?" That Guiwu had a solemn expression, and he murmured: "Liu Sheng has been in the world for so long without returning, and I can no longer sense his aura. He was the vanguard, scouting the path for us to figure out the truth about the Hunter; he is great."

"What should we do?" another elder said: "We have been avoiding the world here to cultivate, and there hasn't been a major event in Fusang for over sixty years. Do we need to come out of seclusion together?"

"To resolve the Hunter, we must act together. Everyone, the time concerning the life and death of our Liehun Hall has arrived. Awaken everyone, bring out the Tianqi Sword; I fear we are about to have a fierce battle soon."

In the evening, Chen Yu and the Snow Woman set off together for the peak of the Snow Mountain.

This Snow Mountain was the northernmost snow mountain in Fusang; the terrain was steep and strange, and there were basically no paths.

Because the local people held the Snow Mountain in awe, coupled with the legend of the Snow Woman, basically no one dared to trespass here.

Although there were no paths and the mountain roads were difficult to walk, it was not a difficult matter for Chen Yu.

After crossing a ridge, the sky had turned completely dark.

The moonlight was nice tonight, but the area within the Snow Mountain was covered in thick white snow; this place seemed to be an independent world, and the changing of the four seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—outside had nothing to do with this place.

Here, it remained cold, with white snow all year round.

"Where is your hometown?" Chen Yu looked at the boundless Snow Mountain before him and could not help but ask.

"Behind the mountain ridge ahead, there is an Ice Lake, and our clanspeople have lived there for generations," the Snow Woman pointed in one direction: "Originally, that place was isolated from the world, and our clanspeople lived there in peace."

"But ever since the people of Liehun Hall discovered us, our clanspeople were all imprisoned. The Ice Lake has been frozen all year round, and there is no more vitality," the Snow Woman said gloomily.

"Rest assured, I came this time to resolve Liehun Hall," Chen Yu sighed slightly; the Snow Woman's race was called the Snow Clan.

Their clan consisted only of females, and when young clanspeople reached a certain age, they would go to the depths of the Ice Lake alone, and then they would naturally conceive, passing it down from generation to generation.

It was just that after the people of Liehun Hall appeared, their lives suffered a huge blow; nearly half of the clanspeople died, and the other half were imprisoned. Counting it up, it had been over a hundred years.

Their clanspeople had extremely long lifespans; although a hundred years was equivalent to several decades for humans, only she knew the pain within it.

The Snow Woman nodded and led Chen Yu to continue walking forward, but just at this moment, a wolf howl came over.

Immediately following, a group of white shadows appeared in the snow, like moving snowdrifts.

And in the darkness, countless pairs of ghostly blue eyes appeared, making one feel somewhat hair-raising.

Snow Wolves; because they were born in the extreme cold, their skin was thick and their flesh was tough, and their bodies had a great deal of fat. Ordinary bullets could not pierce their bodies.

Usually, even an experienced Hunter would be exhausted just dealing with one Snow Wolf, but this time, a large group appeared all at once.

Chen Yu furrowed his brows; the appearance of so many Snow Wolves now was not a good omen. He grabbed with his right hand, and Lichen appeared in his hand; now he had to prepare to fight these Snow Wolves.
