Chapter 720 For One Thing
Far from the borders of Shenbei City, in the icy, snowy land heading north, a group of four figures could be seen...
However, the further north one travels, the more intense the snow and wind fall from the void become, and the thick snow on the vast, white earth is enough to bury a cultivator who is seven feet tall.
Although the raging snowstorm was icy cold, it was no different from any other day for Lin Que, a cultivator.
But what puzzled Lin Que was that Ji Xiaorou, who clearly had no cultivation and was just a first-level mortal, seemed to feel nothing in this icy and snowy place. On the contrary, she was quite happy!
It felt as if this icy, snowy landscape was their own home.
Furthermore, there was something else that Lin Que found very strange: Ji Qian actually insisted that everyone must travel north on foot and absolutely must not fly!
Faced with such a strange request, Lin Que asked why, but Ji Qian did not answer, only saying that they would know in time.
"Manager Ji, just how far north is your Ji family's ancestral land?" Lin Que asked dejectedly as he strolled through the snow. "It's been half a month already. We must be quite far from Shenbei City by now, right?"
"Hehe, young friend Lin, don't be impatient!" Ji Qian said with a smile, reassuring him, "It'll be soon, very soon!"
"hey-hey!"
Seeing Ji Qian's slightly embarrassed smile, Lin Que immediately became suspicious: "Manager Ji, have you forgotten where your family's ancestral home is?"
After saying that, Lin Que glanced around at the vast snowfield, which had nothing special about it.
Not to mention those religious figures, not even a trace of birds or beasts could be seen.
"Nonsense!" Perhaps his face was red from the cold, Ji Qian stammered, "How...how could I possibly not remember...my ancestral homeland!"
"Anyway, it'll be soon!"
Looking at Ji Qian's appearance, Lin Que was quite certain that this old man had absolutely forgotten where his ancestral home was!
After all, Ji Qian has the cultivation of the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. How could his face turn red from the cold? He was obviously embarrassed and awkward!
Perhaps sensing Lin Que's increasingly strange gaze, Ji Qian immediately turned to Ji Xiaorou, who was bouncing around happily, and asked, "Rou'er, do you... do you have any special feelings?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaorou asked in confusion, "Feeling?"
"I don't feel anything?"
"I just find this snowy weather very comfortable."
"Grandpa, what exactly is that question you're asking? It's confusing me!"
After saying this, Ji Qian sighed inexplicably and could only continue leading Lin Que and the others northward.
However, this question not only puzzled Ji Xiaorou, but also made Lin Que frown, not understanding why Ji Qian would ask Ji Xiaorou such a question.
Could it be that Ji Xiaorou really has something very special about her?
Just as Ji Qian said at the Shenbei City Chamber of Commerce, Ji Xiaorou had to be brought along if they wanted to return to the Ji family's ancestral home.
Unfortunately, Lin Que asked why at the time, but Ji Qian still didn't explain it clearly.
Thinking of this, Lin Que immediately looked carefully at Ji Xiaorou, who was happily skipping and walking in the snow.
At this moment, Ji Xiaorou was no longer as slovenly as she was in the Shenbei City Chamber of Commerce. After tidying herself up, she looked completely refreshed and appeared very lively and refined.
Especially now, dressed in a light, icy blue gauze dress, she looks like a lively and agile snow spirit amidst this snowy landscape.
Lin Que wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but after looking at Ji Xiaorou for a while, he felt as if Ji Xiaorou was born to belong to this world, as if she were the daughter of this world.
However, this illusion was fleeting, causing Lin Que to unconsciously rub his eyes and then glance at Ji Xiaorou again.
But they discovered that she was really just a first-order mortal.
Shaking his head, Lin Que stopped paying attention to it, probably thinking it was just his imagination.
The four of them continued north, not knowing how much further they would have to go. After all, even if Ji Qian had truly forgotten where his ancestral home was, Lin Que could only follow him on his journey.
There's no way around it, unless he doesn't want the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ice Jade and the Flowing Breath Dew anymore.
But that's obviously impossible. Putting aside whether his subsequent plans can be realized, he will definitely get a beating from Liu Qingyi immediately.
......
At the same time, in the Godless City of Cangzhong, still within that secluded, secret chamber...
"Ahhhhh!!!"
The screams still echoed!
The figure in agony was still kneeling and struggling, seemingly even more intensely than before, clearly doing something crazy.
"Hold on, if we can't capture that person, we can only rely on this last desperate measure."
A deep voice rang out, and a man wearing a ghost mask calmly looked at the kneeling figure struggling in pain before him.
"If it weren't for those useless bastards!"
"How...how could I...be in such pain!"
Upon hearing this, the kneeling figure in pain struggled to raise its head, its trembling eyes fixed on the ghostly mask!
"The plan was... arranged by you, and the failure was also... said by you!"
“Heh…Heh!”
"I simply cannot...get out of this secret...secret room!"
"I have no idea whether what you said is true or false!"
"I'm afraid your last...last plan might just cause me...more pain!"
“If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do.” The man wearing the ghost mask said calmly again, “I didn’t expect that kid would get involved with the people of Yunwang Valley. It was indeed my oversight.”
"But this last plan of mine is not meant to torment you, but it is the only way out."
"If you can pull through, then a vast and boundless world awaits you!"
"What if...what if I can't hold on?!" The kneeling figure, writhing in pain, still stared intently at the ghostly mask.
Cold sweat dripped down his forehead like beads of water, and his body trembled uncontrollably, revealing the immense pain he was enduring.
"If you can't hold on, you will be completely swallowed up by that divine soul!"
"You... will no longer be you!"
“Heh…Heh!”
"I... will no longer be myself... that's... interesting!"
"So...can I...can I ask you a question now?"
"what is the problem?"
"You...you returned to the Chongming Continent...but why...why?!"
Upon hearing this, the man wearing the ghost mask remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking...
"For one thing."
