Chapter 1464: Chapter 581: Light at the End of the Tunnel [8,000-word Chapter Request for Subscription]_3

The blizzard on the Ice Plains can be large or small; a large one can sweep across thousands of miles, with howling winds that can press Foundation Establishment cultivators so hard that they can’t fly, and even though Golden Core Stage cultivators can fly in it, their mana consumption would multiply by several times, and their speed would still be extremely slow.

It’s also very easy to get lost, directly deviating from the destination by hundreds or even thousands of miles.

Moreover, there aren’t many reliable landmarks on the Ice Plains, and the terrain can easily be altered by the snowfall, so even with a so-called map in hand, it’s extremely difficult to find one’s goal again once lost.

Once lost, one might easily venture into perilous zones or demon beast lairs due to unfamiliarity with the environment.

Therefore, if one wishes to search for something deep within the Ice Plains, it’s usually necessary to find those cultivators familiar with the terrain to lead the way.

However, before the white-robed man came to see him, he already knew that he was not a native cultivator of the Ice Barbarian Country, making it so he dared not follow someone like Zhou Chun, a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator, into the Ice Plains.

If Zhou Chun were to kill him and then leave the Ice Barbarian Country, even if the matter was leaked, there would be no one able to avenge him.

Therefore, upon hearing Zhou Chun’s words, the man immediately shook his head repeatedly saying, "Senior Zhang, please forgive this junior for being unable to agree to such a request. I can only provide a map to Senior, but leading the way is something I absolutely cannot agree to!"

"Are you worried that Zhang may be unfavorable to you?"

Zhou Chun frowned slightly, looking at the white-robed man, and said sternly, "If so, Zhang can accompany you to find someone to vouch for you, and pawn some collateral sufficient to buy your life. In doing so, you ought to be at ease!"

What he mentioned about seeking someone to vouch was also a unique service derived in the Ice Barbarian Country for those guiding others on the Ice Plains.

Some low and middle tier cultivators, when leading those stronger than themselves, would demand that the other party first pawn precious items to someone trustworthy among their elders or seniors, to prevent them from being killed once their purpose was served.

Thus, if they did not return alive, the pawned item would serve as their condolence payment to designated friends and family.

Previously, when he had someone lead him to kill that Third Order Ice Toad, he had done it this way.

However, the white-robed man seemed unwilling to take any risk, and after hearing this, he still shook his head repeatedly saying, "Senior Zhang, I appreciate your kind intentions, but I truly have no intention of doing such guiding, please forgive me!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun no longer tried to persuade him but merely nodded and said, "Since you truly are unwilling, Zhang will not force you. Could you then introduce some of your companions to guide Zhang?"

The white-robed man shook his head again saying, "I’m afraid not, my companions all have their own concerns and I’ve never heard of them guiding anyone!"

"This won’t do, that won’t do, friend, are you perhaps just teasing me? Am I to venture into the Ice Plains risking solely based on your word alone and even pay you a considerable reward for that?!"

Zhou Chun’s face darkened, his tone and demeanor instantly becoming less amicable.

He was patient, but not without temper.

People who sought reward just on their word like this, how could he indulge them?

And once he got angry, the white-robed man, possessing only Purple Mansion Late Stage cultivation level, immediately felt an invisible pressure fall upon him, making him almost unable to breathe.

This made him panic, hastily bowing low and repeatedly cupping his hands in pleading, "Senior, please calm your anger, please calm your anger. This junior absolutely has no intentions of deceiving you, I can swear to prove that what I say is true!"

"What good is an oath? Can you even form a core?"

Zhou Chun looked at the white-robed man with a harsh expression, speaking coldly, as if he had no intentions of lightly letting it go. fгeewebnovёl.com

This made the white-robed man deeply regretful, had he known it would be like this, he definitely wouldn’t have fostered such greed, it’d have been better not to aim for Zhou Chun’s offered reward rather than offend a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator!

But now the mistake was made, and it was too late for regret.

It was getting him quite anxious!

However, just as Zhou Chun was contemplating whether to increase the intensity of his divine sense pressure, forcing this person to agree to lead the way, the white-robed man suddenly seemed to think of something, as if he’d found a lifeline, and exclaimed repeatedly, "I’ve got it, I’ve got it, this junior thought of someone who can lead Senior Zhang!"

He said excitedly to Zhou Chun, "Senior Zhang, please see clearly, this junior knows someone who can guide you. He has been there before, and as long as Senior Zhang can give him the reward he desires, he would definitely be willing to guide Senior Zhang!"

"Oh? Tell me then."

Zhou Chun gazed at him without changing his expression, slightly relaxing the pressure of his divine sense.

Feeling the pressure lessen, the white-robed man secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately began to explain his plan.

It turned out that among the Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators the white-robed man knew was someone who had also gone to the Ice Lake, where a suspected Fourth Order toad-type beast had appeared, and that person also had a daughter afflicted with a serious illness who needed constant care, requiring frequent earnings to alleviate her condition.

Therefore, as long as Zhou Chun offered a suitable reward and agreed to pawn valuable items, that person should be willing to brave the risks to guide Zhou Chun.

Moreover, to show his sincerity, the white-robed man voluntarily expressed willingness not to accept any reward for providing this information.

Upon learning of this, Zhou Chun thought for a moment and agreed to first go with him to meet the person he mentioned.
