Five Continents Wanted

The North Pole City is covered in snow all year round. Snowflakes fall from the leaden-gray clouds, fluttering and scattering to the ground, turning the world into a blanket of white.

You Su walked through the snow wearing a thick animal skin robe and a fluffy felt hat with ear flaps that reached his temples. He pulled the collar up high to cover everything below his nose, and with his exquisite sunglasses, his face was almost unrecognizable.

Such a mysterious attire would likely attract extra attention in the Central Yuan Continent, but it's quite common in the Northern Ao Continent. To ward off the cold, many people wrap themselves up like this.

North Pole City is located at the northernmost edge of the Northern Ao Continent's human territory. It should have been a desolate little town. However, when the North Pole Snowfield was freely accessible, North Pole City developed quite well by receiving tourists, adventurers, and merchants from all over the world. As a result, the shape and size of the city had the grandeur of a large city. Unfortunately, after the North Pole Snowfield was blocked by blizzards, it gradually withered away. As a result, the city gate, which should have been bustling with people, is now only frequented by a few individuals.

You Su walked to the notice board hanging outside the city gate, without attracting the attention of the lazy city guards.

Despite having mentally prepared himself, his pupils still widened involuntarily when he saw the face on the sign, and his clenched fists even snapped a few threads of his wool gloves.

"Wanted to capture: "

You Su, a native of Chuyun City in the Central Yuan Continent, was a disciple of Lotus Peak of the Xuanxiao Sect. This man was Evil Demon descended to earth. Taking advantage of the gathering of geniuses, he slaughtered more than two hundred outstanding talents from the five continents on the South China Sea Immortal Island. His crimes were unforgivable and too numerous to record.

The Great God have offered a reward for this demon: ten thousand taels of high-grade Spirit Stone for information leading to its exact whereabouts; and anyone who captures and brings this demon to justice will be honored as a guest of the Great God!

Those who knowingly fail to report wrongdoing, or those who collude with others in wrongdoing, will be punished the same as criminals!

The word 'crime' You Su like a thunderclap, causing his face to turn pale beneath the felt blanket, and he involuntarily staggered back a step.

He felt a nameless, suffocating anger rising in his chest, yet he also felt weak, as if all his strength was about to be drained away.

He never imagined that he, who had saved so many people that night, would become the unforgivable Evil Demon on the wanted poster before him.

Has the truth about God been revealed? Is it a misunderstanding, or a conspiracy?

You Su trembled all over; the biting cold penetrated the thick felt and went straight to his bones.

You Su always thought that his sudden departure would at most cause them to suffer from longing and worry, but that they would eventually reunite.

Little did he expect that his departure would drag them into the quagmire of Evil Demon relatives.

Mistress is still recuperating in the Lotus Birth Pool, Senior Sister is still waiting foolishly on Lotus Peak, and the mystery of Junior Sister's failure to break through the Water Condensation stage remains unsolved. Xue Ruo, a demon, is left behind in the Central Yuan Continent. Will the Third Elder, Bihua Peak, the He family... all be implicated because of her?

Perhaps he should have accepted his predetermined fate that night when the lightning flashed and thunder roared.

You Su felt a suffocating pain, and a wave of loneliness enveloped him.

The world is so vast, where should I go from here?

"Hey! Are you coming in or not? If you're not coming in, the door's closed!"

The city guards, clad in heavy armor, kept rubbing their hands together and impatiently shouted at You Su's retreating figure.

"Damn it, look at yourself! Never mind him, it's freezing cold, nobody's coming into town, let's close the gates and go back to warm up and have some wine." Another city guard was even more impolite, urging his companion.

Since this wanted poster was put up, they've seen far too many people trying to catch this fugitive and rise to prominence. But in this desolate city, there are hardly any capable good people, so how could anyone have seen such a terrifying villain? Let alone this poor, scruffy boy dressed in cheap animal hides.

You Su slowly turned around, her face completely obscured, even her eyes were not visible. For some reason, the two city guards suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold, causing them to shiver involuntarily.

The two exchanged a glance, realizing they might have run into a tough opponent, and their tone softened considerably.

"Trying to swindle money won't work. There are too many swindlers, and the government will conduct thorough investigations. If you're found to be lying, your life will be in danger. So don't dream of getting rich overnight. Just do your job honestly. It's almost time; let's go into town and rest."

The world was as bright as day, but it was actually almost night.

"Alright, sir, we'll head into the city right away!"

An old man with a hunched back and a cane walked up, giving the two city guards a fawning smile, and carrying two dried venison legs in his hands.

Behind the old man were more than twenty people, all of whom were dressed in very cheap animal robes, clearly country bumpkins from some remote corner of the country.

"Two deer legs would be perfect to accompany our drinks. We're new here, so please do us a favor, sir."

Two deer legs aren't anything particularly valuable, but for two people who enjoy fine wine, they are certainly a treat.

Upon hearing this, the city guard smiled and accepted the 'pass' handed over by the old man.

The city guard weighed the two large deer legs in his hand, then contentedly stepped aside.

"Go in."

In fact, North Pole City has become increasingly desolate over the years, with fewer and fewer people coming. In order to bring a little bit of life to North Pole City, the checks on people entering the city have always been turned a blind eye, let alone this large group of people. The old man gave a bribe, and the city guards who were in a hurry to change shifts didn't even bother to ask their names and origins before letting them pass, which surprised and relieved the clan chief.

Seeing this, Xiao Lu quickly ran over and took You Su's hand. Even through the gloves, Xiao Lu could feel the boy's coldness.

Xiao Lu glanced cautiously at the portrait on the wanted poster again, then pursed her lips, and still pulled the silent boy along with the procession into the city. You Su moved stiffly, like a frozen corpse.

Just as You Su was about to pass between the two city guards, the guards suddenly called out to stop the group.

"Stop!"

Seeing this, the clan chief quickly turned back and approached, appearing cautious on the surface, but his heart was pounding like a drum.

"What's wrong, sir?"

"The inns near the city gate are all rip-offs; look further in, you might find cheaper prices. That's all, let's go in."

The two city guards were actually quite kind; they accepted the gifts because they genuinely wanted to help.

The clan chief felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders, repeatedly expressing his gratitude while secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

Many of these people had never left the North Pole Snowfield, and seeing a real human city filled them with a sense of novelty. Even though the North Pole City didn't have any tall buildings or magnificent palaces, but just ordinary brick and mud houses, it still amazed them.

Fortunately, they had been instructed by the chieftain before entering the city, so they didn't make their presence too obvious. However, the group of people still wearing traditional animal robes did attract some attention, but since North Pole City was so desolate, there was no reason for them to look down on the visitors.

Thanks to the scarcity of outsiders, the inns in the city were almost all empty, which eventually allowed the clan chief to find an inn that was both cheap and could sleep more than twenty people.

It wasn't until the clan chief pulled out silver he had kept for thirty years to pay that the innkeeper and waiter's attitude changed from initial disdain to the politeness of treating guests like royalty. After several reminders, the twenty-odd people were finally divided into ten rooms, and to prevent any accidents, everyone had to stay obediently in their own room.

You Su has a room to herself.

He stared blankly at the snow-covered world outside the window, lost in thought. The clan chief knocked on the door and slowly walked in, carrying a pot of freshly brewed hot tea.

Suddenly, a grayish-white cat slipped out of his arms, its tail held high and two tiny horns sprouting from its head.

After entering the house, the kitten looked around curiously, touching and stroking everything here and there, then sticking out its pink tongue to taste it.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that this was actually a miniature version of Bai Ze. This Divine Beast, which resembled both a tiger and a deer, had its tall and agile deer-like physique transformed into a sturdy and adorable cub-like form after being shrunk in size.

Bai Ze looked around and seemed to find the silent You Su the most interesting. It jumped onto the tea table, ready to make fun of him, but seeing You Su's puzzled frown, it wisely stopped talking.

It knew very well that the kid was in danger.

"Master Youxian, have some water..." The clan chief pushed the teacup towards him.

"I am a sinner of the highest order. You need not accompany me any longer, lest you bring trouble upon yourselves."

You Su's voice was as cold as water, as if he didn't know the person in front of him at all.

He took off his sunglasses after entering the city. He could almost always maintain the state of his Ink Eyes, but he still wanted to recall the feeling of being in chaos before.

When he was blind, he could actually find the right path; now that he can see, he feels lost.

Looking into the boy's eyes, the old man realized that the boy's eyes, which he had been covering, were so clear and bright, with black and white contrasting against each other.

"Perhaps the wandering immortal has forgotten that I too am a person of grave sin," the old man chuckled.

"And what about them? Most of your people are not sinners."

"Their attitude is the same." Chen Yi's eyes were firm. "They may be somewhat afraid of you, but deep down they are grateful for your help. No one from the Snow Mastiff Sect would betray a Celestial Master; I can vouch for that with the name of my sect."

You Su, another characteristic represented by the snow mastiff is loyalty.

"The Immortal Master is a good person, a rare good person in this world," the old man suddenly said. "In the Immortal Master's eyes, there is no difference between cultivators and mortals. Even though you could easily overwhelm us, a group of people without cultivation, you never bossed us around or asked us for anything. On the contrary, I could feel the respect you gave me, and your praise for the Snow Breathing Technique was truly from the bottom of your heart. I really thought you would kill me with that sword strike in the cave, but you still held back. How could such a person be the kind of Evil Demon that devours people according to the official records?"

"Pah! He's clearly a bad person! How many times has he bullied the weak?"

Little Bai Ze rolled his eyes, completely opposing the clan leader's words, as he had been bossed around by him the whole way.

However, as soon as the words left his mouth, Bai Ze regretted it and quickly hid under the table to guard against You Su harming him, but found that You Su was completely unmoved.

Undeterred by the lack of response, the elderly man continued gently:

"Is the Immortal Master worried about someone else?"

You Su finally reacted and nodded.

"So how could someone like that be so cruel..." the old man murmured, with an expression that suggested he had expected this.

"It is inconvenient for the Immortal Master to show himself, but you may ask me anything. I just saw those two city guards; they are considered among the more knowledgeable people in this city. I may bring some gifts to visit them, and I believe they can answer some of your questions."

You Su seemed to have been reactivated, and her tone became more serious:

"My sect... no! All, all the rumors about that trial!"

After speaking, You Su seemed to realize that she had lost her composure, and then said softly:

"Thanks."

The old man nodded slightly. "No need for thanks, Immortal Master. It's all I should do."

Before leaving, the old man turned back and asked You Su one last question:

"Does the immortal master know how I found my way through a field of white snow?"

You Su raised his head slightly; this was indeed a question he had always been curious about.

Everything was bleak and lifeless, so why did they leave with such unwavering resolve?

The old man smiled and squinted his eyes. "Actually, there's no secret to it. In this freezing weather, there's hardly any path. I just touched my left heel to my right toe, then my right heel to my left toe, and that's how I walked in a straight line through the snowstorm. Even that clumsy kid, Xiao Wu, managed to reach his destination using this stupid method I taught him, which means there's actually some truth to it."

At this point, the old man stopped talking and turned to leave the room.

He didn't try to convey any valuable life experience to You Su, but it seemed that everything was already understood without being said.

You Su remained silent, but instead grabbed the trembling white cat under the table.

"If you dare to move, I'll kill you."

You Su's threat was like a sharp blade held to Bai Ze's neck. Bai Ze knew very well that this kid meant what he said.

Thus, this incomparably noble Divine Beast could only humiliatingly grovel before You Su, having its white fur, which resembled dry straw, stroked by You Su.

Hmm, it seems pretty comfortable...

The old man walked out of the room with a flushed face. He had been away from the world for thirty years, but the interpersonal skills he had honed to ensure the survival of his sect were still there. It was just that his subjects had changed from those high and mighty immortals to the small-town guards with some experience.

Chen Yi never expected that in the thirty years since he left, True Immortal of Heavenly Awakening would actually appear in the world. Moreover, there might even be two of them, although both of them have already vanished without a trace. He also never expected that the three terrifying Evil God would truly surface for the first time.

The Wuzhou of today is completely different from the Wuzhou of thirty years ago in his memory.

This made the old man sigh deeply, hoping that among the information he received, there would be something to put the wandering immortal's mind at ease.

The Polar Day in North Pole City is not as long as in the far north; a brief night is about to arrive, and the world is shrouded in a depressing darkness.

He quickened his pace, eager to deliver the information he had gathered to You Su as soon as possible.

He walked too fast and couldn't help coughing a few times; the past few days of running around had left him feeling more exhausted than ever before.

He dreamed that when he had atoneed for his sins and settled his people, perhaps he could peacefully go to meet his ancestors.

Just as they were about to regroup, a second sound of footsteps echoed on the path.

"Chen Yi."

The man called out the old man's name.

Brothers, if you want to join the group, you can add the second group, Bihua Peak, in the description. The first group, Lotus Peak, is already full.
