Liu Xingchen and Tie Zhu's expressions changed; things were bad, they had been exposed.

Liu Xingchen cursed inwardly, "Damn it, the power of the Ten Great Immortal Sects is indeed immense. They actually obtained the personnel lists of all the sects and sent them to such a remote town. That person clearly discovered our identities were unclear and deliberately lured us into a trap."

Tie Zhu also tensed up. He whispered, "Brother Xingchen, what should we do?"

Liu Xingchen quickly glanced around, having already made up his mind. He whispered, "Run!"

The two immediately got up and ran towards the back door of the tavern.

As Liu Xingchen ran, he said, "We have to get out of here quickly, or they'll catch us again!"

Tie Zhu nodded and said, "Okay, let's find a place to hide first!"

The two rushed out of the tavern and ran towards the edge of the town.

The pursuers were close behind, shouting, "Don't let them get away!"

Liu Xingchen and Tie Zhu weaved through the streets, trying to avoid crowds.

Liu Xingchen thought to himself, "We must leave this town as soon as possible, or we'll be in danger!"

Tie Zhu was also extremely nervous. He gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Xingchen, which way do we run?"

Liu Xingchen looked back and said, "Let's find a secluded place first, and then figure out a way to leave after dark."

The two finally found a secluded alley and hid inside.

A group of pursuers shouted and yelled outside the alley, then rushed past without even entering it, disappearing in no time.

Tie Zhu leaned against the wall, feeling a bit strange: "Why are these people being so perfunctory? It's like they don't want to arrest us."

Liu Xingchen nodded and said, "Yes, these people are just putting on an act; they don't dare to confront us head-on at all."

"This is so strange."

Liu Xingchen thought for a moment and then smiled, "They must have been ordered to hunt down the great demon, but if they really encountered him, they wouldn't even have time to run away. So it's not surprising that they act this way."

The two hid in the alley for a while, and only left the town quietly after it was completely dark.

Liu Xingchen and Tie Zhu hid in a secluded mountain forest. It was quiet all around, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind.

The two sat on a large rock, their faces solemn, both pondering their next move.

"The cultivation world is searching for us everywhere. Hiding like this isn't a solution. We need to find a place where the power of the ten great immortal sects can't reach us."

Tie Zhu nodded, a hint of confusion in his eyes: "That's what I think too, but where is a safe place?"

Liu Xingchen frowned and began to think. He said in a low voice, "Since the Demon Lord's death, most of the Demonic Path's territory has been conquered by the Immortal Sect. It must be full of the Immortal Sect's spies now, so we can't go there anymore."

Tie Zhu nodded and said, "Yes, the territory of the demonic path is no longer safe. Why don't we go to the Western World? That's Buddhist territory, and we might even see Monk Zhizhang there."

Liu Xingchen shook his head, a hint of hesitation in his eyes: "Although the Western world is relatively safe, there are connections between Buddhism and the Immortal Sect. Besides, I always feel that going to the Western world is a bit risky."

Tie Zhu sighed and said, "Then where else can we go? The cultivation world is full of the power of immortal sects, and we have almost nowhere to hide."

Liu Xingchen was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up and said, "Since there are immortal sects everywhere, let's go somewhere where there are no people."

"A place where no one is? Where is that?"

"We headed north to hide in the far north ice fields."

Tie Zhu was stunned for a moment, then realized: "The far north ice plains? That place is not a place for humans to live. It is extremely cold, and even cultivators have a hard time surviving there."

Liu Xingchen nodded and said, "I know. It's precisely because it's a remote place that it's easy for us to evade capture."

Tie Zhu thought about it and felt that although this method was risky, it was still a viable option.

He nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll go to the far north ice plains. However, the environment there is harsh, so we need to be prepared."

Liu Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, we'll prepare the necessary supplies before we set off. As long as we can get through this period, we'll figure out a solution once things calm down."

Tie Zhu laughed and said, "With you here, I feel relieved. Let's go, let's set off now!"

Two days later, the two bought all the supplies in a village and then took off on their swords, flying north.

As they ventured deeper, the landscape began to change noticeably.

At first, they could see some sparse vegetation and the occasional animal, but as they flew further and further away, the scenery gradually became desolate.

The once green earth was gradually replaced by patches of white, as if the earth were covered by a thick layer of white frost.

Soon, the green vegetation disappeared completely, replaced by a vast expanse of white snow.

The earth was covered with thick snow, and the continuous mountain ranges were also wrapped in ice and snow, making them look particularly cold and austere.

Occasionally, you can see some icicles and icicles, which shimmer brilliantly in the sunlight, like works of art by nature.

"It's so cold here, even the air is chilly." Liu Xingchen felt the temperature drop, but he wasn't afraid because he was protected by his black robe.

As for Tie Zhu, he acted as if nothing was wrong, not taking the cold seriously at all.

As they ventured deeper, the surrounding environment became increasingly harsh.

The wind howled, as if countless sharp blades were flying through the air, tearing apart the tranquility of heaven and earth.

The two were tossed about by the strong winds, their bodies barely able to maintain their balance, making flight extremely difficult.

"The wind is too strong! I feel like I'm about to be blown away!" Tie Zhu shouted, his voice almost drowned out by the wind. His body swayed precariously on the sword, as if he might be blown away at any moment.

Liu Xingchen also felt immense pressure. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to control the flying sword: "Tiezhu, hold on! The wind is too strong. We need to find a place to land!"

Tie Zhu nodded: "Okay, in this shabby place, the wind is too strong. I feel like a leaf, about to be blown away."

"Haha, are there any leaves as big as you?"

The two laughed and then landed their flying swords, stabilizing themselves on a relatively flat ice surface.

The wind on the ground was a little weaker than in the sky, but it was still quite strong, especially with the snowflakes flying everywhere, whipped up by the gale and hitting people so hard they couldn't open their eyes.

But it's still much better than flying in the sky.

Liu Xingchen and Tie Zhu trudged forward step by step across the far northern ice plains, their steps heavy and arduous. All around them was a vast expanse of white, the howling wind making it seem as if even the air itself was frozen.

But Tie Zhu didn't seem to feel the cold at all; on the contrary, he seemed quite at ease. If it weren't for the wind and snow, one would think he was on a spring outing.

Just then, a low wolf howl suddenly rang out in the distance, breaking the surrounding silence.

The voice was deep and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell, sending chills down one's spine.

"What is that sound?" Tie Zhu stopped in his tracks, a hint of fear in his eyes.

Liu Xingchen frowned and said in a low voice, "It's a wolf howl. There are actually wolves in this place?"

"Wolves? In a place like this? Won't they freeze to death?"

Liu Xingchen shook his head and said, "These wolves have definitely adapted to this environment. We need to be careful. They might already see us as prey."

As far as the eye could see, all around was a vast expanse of white, and there was no way to see what was ahead or where the wolf pack was.

Judging from the sounds, there seemed to be quite a few, coming from all directions.
