Most of the soldiers who didn't get the high-grade pills were envious and regretful at the same time. If they had known that Lin Fan was fair in his rewards and punishments, they would have done it too.
Moreover, they could see that Lin Fan wasn't risking the lives of the soldiers. Otherwise, these soldiers would have died in the hands of the devil cultivators and wouldn't have been so lucky to get two high-grade pills.
Lin Fan's series of actions changed the soldiers' impression of him. They felt that although he was a little cruel, he was still a trustworthy person. They wouldn't be at a disadvantage if they followed such a person.
Moreover, he was suspicious by nature, as cunning as a fox, and merciless. If they stubbornly made an enemy of him, they would probably end up in a miserable state.
Therefore, at this moment, all the soldiers retracted their conflicting thoughts towards Lin Fan.
They chose to obey silently.
Lin Fan knew that winning over people's hearts required a process.
He couldn't be anxious, so he didn't say anything.
Seeing that Sai Ya's clothes didn't cover her body, he wanted to bring her to a secluded place to change her clothes.
Unexpectedly, when he stretched out his hand to pull her, he saw Jiang Yingxue blocking his way. She said with a complicated expression, "Sect Master, ah no, Commander, what, what are you doing?
… "
Jiang Yingxue's face showed that she couldn't bear it, and her voice was filled with jealousy.
Lin Fan knew that she had misunderstood, so he handed Sai Ya to her and said, "Bring her to change her clothes."
Jiang Yingxue felt ashamed.
She thought that Lin Fan was going to rape Sai Ya, but unexpectedly, he was just bringing her to change her clothes. She blushed because she misunderstood Lin Fan's intention, so she nodded awkwardly and brought Sai Ya away.
Lin Fan waved his hand, and the Heaven and Earth Whip was released from Sai Jun's body and returned to his hand. Sai Jun regained his freedom, and the nearby soldiers suddenly became nervous.
Cheng Jin also stared at Sai Jun with a vigilant expression.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. He won't run away.
Besides, he can't run away. "
Sai Jun didn't run away. Firstly, he knew that he couldn't run away from Lin Fan. Secondly.
His sister was in Lin Fan's hands, so he naturally wouldn't run away alone.
Living an ignoble existence.
At this time, it was already early in the morning. Early in the morning was the time when people were the most sleepy.
Lin Fan knew that the soldiers were tired after marching for a day.
He then ordered the garrison to rest.
All of the soldiers received orders and very obediently set up camp to rest. Those junior officers did not need Lin Fan's orders.
Therefore, he sent people to patrol and keep watch in shifts, fulfilling his duty.
Seeing this, Lin Fan felt much more relaxed. He had Cheng Jin and the other elite disciples take turns to watch over Sai Jun while he leisurely went to look for Sai Ya and Jiang Yingxue.
Sai Ya was changing her clothes. Jiang Yingxue stared at her. Sai Ya's cultivation level was low, so Jiang Yingxue was not afraid that she would run away. She did not follow her closely either. Instead, she stood ten meters away from her and guarded her.
At this moment, Jiang Yingxue suddenly shouted, "Saiya, Saiya ran away!"
Lin Fan raised his head in shock and saw that Sai Ya had indeed escaped. She was flying straight towards the Western Paradise.
However, her cultivation level was low, so her flying speed was very slow.
Lin Fan released his divine senses and locked onto her tightly. Sai Ya's body was fixed in the air and could not move at all. It was as if she had been immobilized.
Jiang Yingxue flew over and caught up with Sai Ya. She pushed Sai Ya down to the ground and then escorted her to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan glared at Sai Ya with some annoyance. A nefarious fire rose in his stomach. According to his temperament, he should have executed her on the spot. However, because of Jiang Yingxue, he could not do it. He then instructed Jiang Yingxue to guard her properly.
At the same time, he could also fish for information from her and understand some of the Demon Sect's situation.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing the enemy would one be able to fight a hundred battles without slacking. Not only did Lin Fan not kill Sai Ya and her sister, but he also wanted to keep them by his side and understand some of the Demon Sect's situation from them.
However, Sai Ya and her sister were tight-lipped. They did not mention anything about the Demon Sect.
Lin Fan was not in a hurry. He had a way to make them talk.
This army of 20,000 people traveled west. They gradually left the bustling city and entered a desolate place. Below them were black mountains of different heights and white rivers. The further they went, the more barren the mountains and unruly the water became. Moreover, the air became colder. Fortunately, the soldiers and generals were all cultivators and were not afraid of the cold.
On this day …
The army finally arrived at the Snow Region.
The Snow Region was like a fairytale-like silver world. It was covered in snow all year round and was wrapped in silver.
The environment and climate of the Snow Region were extremely harsh. A single snowfall could last for half a year. The snow on the ground could be piled up to the height of a ten-story building. Most of the time, the Snow Region was filled with howling winds. Sometimes, there would be a snowstorm. The strong winds could sweep up waves of snow that were dozens of stories high. It was as terrifying as a tsunami.
The Snow Region was a plateau. The plateau was covered with a type of tree called the Ironwood.
The Ironwood was the only type of plant in the Snow Region.
The towering Ironwood had an outer skin that was as hard as iron. The height of the Ironwood could reach up to ten feet. The thickness of the Ironwood could grow up to thirty or even fifty people hugging it.
There were many ferocious beasts in the Snow Region. These ferocious beasts were larger in size and had thick fur. They could withstand the harsh cold.
The residents of the Snow Region were all cultivators. There were orthodox cultivators and rogue cultivators. They were both ordinary people and cultivators. The people here did not have houses. They used trees as their houses. They were all skilled craftsmen. They could build treehouses when they were in their teens.
They chose towering Ironwood that would take thirty people hugging it. Like digging a cave, they would dig a small door in the tree. Then, they would dig a big hole in the heart of the tree. This was the so-called treehouse.
Lin Fan did not know much about the Snow Region. He had only heard about it from Sai Jun.
Although Sai Jun had been subdued by Lin Fan, he did not submit to him in his heart. Every time Lin Fan asked him about the Demonic Sect and the Demonic Cultivators, Sai Jun would change the topic and talk about unimportant things.
The temperature in the Snow Region was very low all year round. It was extremely cold. At night, the temperature could reach twenty to thirty degrees below zero. A drop of water would turn into ice.
Ha Ha was so angry that he turned to frost.
The soldiers who had just entered the Snow Region were not used to the environment of the Snow Region.
Seeing this, Lin Fan did not let the soldiers go deep into the Snow Region. Instead, he set up camp at the edge of the Snow Region. He wanted them to get used to the environment of the Snow Region.
After the army set up camp, they began to hunt.
They started a fire to cook because Lin Fan had made it clear that they were not allowed to disturb the people.
With the previous experience as a lesson, no one dared to provoke that person again this time.
The sun sank into the peak of the snowy mountain. The sky gradually darkened and the air gradually cooled. The soldiers with Fire Spiritual Roots felt better. They could use the Fire Spiritual Qi in their bodies to keep warm. However, it was not good for their cultivation. Therefore, they did not dare to use it all the time.
Starting a fire to keep warm was the right way. Those who were not afraid of the trouble started to dig holes in the trees.
Lin Fan had the Burning Blood Technique. Once the technique was activated, his body was surrounded by red clouds. He looked like a man of fire. This was far from what the soldiers with Fire Spiritual Roots could compare to.
On the Snow Region, lights lit up. It was as if red flowers had bloomed on the snowy ground.
One by one, it was beautiful and spectacular.
Cong Fan looked at this silver world.
He released his Divine Sense and explored a radius of five thousand miles. He did not find any trace of demonic cultivators.
There were many human cultivators. Rather than calling them human cultivators, it was better to call them local residents. When night fell, these residents all went into the treehouses.
Cong Fan was suddenly very curious why so many people were willing to live in such a harsh environment. Therefore, he called Sai Jun over and asked him a question.
Sai Jun knew that Lin Fan had brought the army to the Snow Region to kill the demonic cultivators. Therefore, as long as it was related to the demonic cultivators, he would not talk about it. However, if it was something unrelated to the demonic cultivators, he would not avoid it.
When asked, he said, "According to my understanding of the residents of the Snow Region.
The reason why they live here for a long time is to mine a type of Spiritual Mine.
After the Spiritual Mine is mined, it can be sold.
That's because there's a lot of metal-elemental spiritual energy in spiritual energy ores, even more so than some natural treasures. These metal-elemental spiritual energy ores can be used to refine elixirs. The refined elixirs are of great help to cultivators. They're expensive, but they're very popular … "
Hearing this, Lin Fan was enlightened. His heart skipped a beat. 'Hmm, this trip to the Snow Region is a great opportunity. Once the war is over, I'll definitely mine some more for my cultivation.'
As he was thinking, Lin Fan found Jiang Yingxue and Sai Ya digging a hole in the tree. Men were Yang and women were Yin. Women naturally did not have as much firepower as men. The two women were not willing to sleep in the snow. Therefore, they squatted under a thick Iron Tree and used their immortal swords to dig a treehouse.
The skin of this Iron Tree was harder than iron and was very difficult to break. The two women were so tired that they were panting. They only managed to dig a hole the size of a basin. They squatted there and panted. However, the hard work made their bodies feel a little warm, and a layer of sweat appeared on their heads.
Lin Fan walked over and was about to help the two women dig a hole in the tree when he saw a group of soldiers walk over. The soldier at the front said respectfully, "Commander, we have dug a treehouse. Please come in and rest!"
Lin Fan was slightly surprised. He turned around and saw that this group of soldiers were the ones who had been rewarded by him. He suddenly understood. If not for Lin Fan and the rest, they would have been dead. Moreover, Sai Jun and her sister were not captured by the soldiers. It was all Lin Fan's credit.
They were very clear in their hearts. However, Lin Fan still rewarded them. They felt guilty and wanted to be grateful. Therefore, they dug a treehouse for Lin Fan to rest.
It was a form of repayment.
Lin Fan was gratified. He nodded and said to Jiang Yingxue and Sai Ya, "Don't waste your time. There is a ready-made one now. Come in together."
The two women were a little shy but did not refuse.
They walked to the newly dug treehouse and saw that it was a towering Iron Tree. It was as thick as thirty people hugging it. There was a small door. After entering, there was a small house that was more than ten square meters. It was clean and warm …
Seeing that Lin Fan wanted to bring the two women into the treehouse to sleep, the soldiers were envious. However, they also left tactfully.
After entering the treehouse, the two women felt a wave of warmth. However, they were a little embarrassed when they saw Lin Fan beside them. Lin Fan did not feel it at all. He sat cross-legged in the tunnel. "Sleep. I will keep watch for you."
Then, he closed his eyes and began to breathe.
The two women lay down on the ground and slept.
When the two girls stopped snoring, Lin Fan opened his eyes and glanced at the two girls. One was righteous while the other was evil. Jiang Yingxue was beautiful while Saiya was elegant and quiet. The two girls had completely different temperaments and each had their own beauty. They were like two flowers that were competing with each other to be the prettiest.
