There used to be such a saying in the world of cultivating immortals, the middle continent is rich, the south continent is biased, the west continent is poor, the east continent is far away, and the north continent is cold, and half of the entire north continent area is covered by ice and snow all year round, and the temperature is extremely low, which is no longer suitable for mortals and low-level monks to survive.

However, there are many high-level monks cultivated in Beizhou, especially those who practice ice and snow attribute exercises, most of them have bases in Beizhou, and the cold climate of Beizhou has become their holy place for cultivation.

It is said that millions of years ago, this desert did not exist, on the contrary, it is also one of the origins of the immortal cultivation world in Zhongzhou, and the reason why it became like this stemmed from an earth-shattering war.

Millions of years ago, the human race was still quite weak in this world, but there were many outstanding people born, these heroes led the human race to kill demon beasts, seize the spirit mountain, and continue to expand the territory of the human race, making a great reputation, and at the same time, the rest of the races in the immortal cultivation world were extremely fearful.

So the demon clan, the snow clan, and the ancient desolate beasts joined forces to strangle the human race, and wanted to strangle the thriving human race in the cradle, and the leader of the human race back then led the human race to fight.

The millions of armies on both sides fought a decisive battle in this part of the desert, and the battle was shattered, countless huge mountain ranges were beaten into powder, and the Terran monks above the sixth realm, the demon kings above the sixth order, and those extremely powerful beasts fell countless times, and even the space was cracked, forming a terrifying spatial crack.

Since then, the demon clan has retreated, dormant and savage, most of the beasts have disappeared, and they have withdrawn from the ranks of the mainstream race, and the snow clan has retreated to the land of ice and snow in Beizhou, and the human race has also been given a chance to breathe, and moved south to the land of today's Middle Continent, until thousands of years later, the more amazing and gorgeous Qing Emperor of the human race was born, leading the human race to fight the wilderness again, and only then did he lay down most of the territory of the land of Middle-earth, and completely gained a firm foothold in this world.

In the two or three hundred thousand years after the ascension of the Green Emperor, there were still many outstanding people born in the human race, and they began to expand beyond Central Continent with the human race, and at that time, the previous ancient battlefield had become a strange place.

On the ancient battlefield, there were not only the resentful ghost army left behind at that time, but also the terrifying spatial cracks, and the original tall mountains on the ground also turned into gravel and became a desert land, which people called the desert.

The desert has expanded several times in two or three hundred thousand years, and there is a tendency to get bigger and bigger, so the supreme master of the human race collects the world's treasures, and uses supreme magic power to smooth out and fill a huge part of the spatial cracks, preventing the expansion of the desert.

But that's all, the small space cracks are still wandering in the desert, and the overall living environment of the desert has not improved, there are still many dangers inside, in addition to the space cracks, there are more and more powerful ghost armies, and the ghost clan has been formed, and the remaining formation prohibition during the war has also been distorted, becoming an invisible danger.

In this way, hundreds of thousands of years passed, and some changes took place in the desert, and some sparse spiritual veins began to regenerate, forming a piece of oasis in the desert, dotted among them, these oases are not large in scale, and cannot form high-level spiritual veins, but they have also become a place for the human race to settle down, and many human races who have no ambition in the middle continent have gone to settle down.

And tens of thousands of years ago, the living environment in the desert changed again, many immortal cultivators who had offended people in various parts of the immortal cultivation world, or committed major crimes and were wanted to go to the desert, using the strange and dangerous environment of the desert to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, and even being able to kill strong enemies there, and gradually this kind of demons and monsters converged there, forming the pattern of today's desert.

It's not that the big sects in the land of Central Continent haven't thought about exterminating this kind of tumor, and even launched a full-scale war, but they all failed, and there are fewer people sent, and they can't beat those fierce guys, and there are more people sent, and people hide in the depths of the desert, you can't find it, and the desert is not suitable for the army to be stationed, send many people to station, the logistics can't keep up, and the few factions are easy to be broken by each one, so the desert has become a three-regardless area.

···········

After the five major families of Bai Yucheng got the treasure map about the relics of the Five Elements Sect on Lin Xiao's side, their sanity was occupied by greed, they knew too well how important the treasures of the Five Elements Sect were, especially the heavy treasures of the Five Elements Sect that Xiao Yan took away in the end, which were definitely treasures above the seventh order, not to mention that Xiao Yan, as the head of the Five Elements Sect and a monk of the seventh realm, even if it was his personal net worth, it was also an existence that the five major families looked up to.

Therefore, once the treasure hunt is successful, the strength of the five major families will skyrocket, and it is impossible to even surpass the Spirit Sword Gate, and they are also fascinated by this benefit, and let go of Lin Xiao and Li Muxue, after all, the two of them are really not worth mentioning compared to this treasure.

Of course, they did not forget the danger of the desert, so the five major families immediately united and swore to keep secrets, hunt for treasures together, and share the benefits.

More than ten years ago, each of the five major families produced a Daogang monk, went to the desert, as a striker of action, the strength of the five Daogang monks is not weak, after more than ten years of operation, has gained a firm foothold in the desert.

So the five major families used various reasons to send at least one more Dao Gang and ten Purple Mansions to each family, and transported a large number of resources to the desert to secretly investigate the treasure of the Five Elements Sect.

After years of development, the night owl already has a good power in White Jade City, and the five major families have also penetrated into the middle range, and through various means, they have controlled several Purple Mansion monks of the five major families.

And the core Purple Mansion monks of the five major families were only a few dozen people, and ten people were transferred away by each family at once, and they were immediately detected by the night owl detectives, and they figured out the approximate power used by the five major families, and passed the news to the sect.

The treasure map of the five major families was obtained in Lin Xiao's hands, although Lin Xiao swore a poisonous oath in front of them, but with their style, he still wouldn't believe it, this matter is too important to the five major families, the night owl analyzed, before they really acted, the Heavenly Saint Sect would definitely take action, and it would take a lot of time in advance to catch the Heavenly Saint Sect by surprise.

After reading the night owl's analysis report, Lin Xiao also agreed very much, although the five major families are greedy for profit, they still have basic rules of conduct, and it is very likely to start in advance.

So Lin Xiao sent an order to the night owls, Li Muxue and Bai Zihua, asking them to immediately start retreating, Bai Yucheng could not stay any longer, and for the sake of insurance, Lin Xiao also secretly went to Bai Yucheng.

A few days later, when Lin Xiao was still on the road, Bai Zihua and the night owl's broken jade received the news and quietly came to Li Muxue's holy treasure building.

"Uncle Shi, the head has an order, we should withdraw"

"I know, I can withdraw here at any time, Bai Zihua, what's going on with you?"

"I have already ordered to go down, from tomorrow, the personnel will be withdrawn one after another, and at the same time, the last batch of goods will be sold, and the real estate that I rented before will also change hands one after another, I will stay and cover for the disciples, I can't all withdraw at once, otherwise I won't be able to leave"

"How much time does it take?"

"One month"

"It's been too long"

"Uncle Shi, this is something that can't be helped, we have been here for decades, every stitch and thread is our hard-earned money, we can't give it to them in vain, and according to the previous plan, this is not the most urgent situation, there is time for us to evacuate, I am in business, I must abide by the reputation, if the tail is not handled well, it will be difficult to rebuild the reputation in the future"

"Poyu, what do you think"

"According to the rules, this is indeed not an emergency at this time, and I have no right to deal with it"

Po Yu shook his head and said, interfering in local administration, this is the most taboo place for intelligence officers, unless it is a state of emergency, otherwise he will not dare to cross it at all.

"Uncle Shi, the development of our Heavenly Saint Sect is not easy, Xuanjing is all earned by the disciples with hard work, it really can't be wasted"

"I understand, you just do it, when the time comes, I'll go with you, cover for you, how is the preparation on the side of Poyu"

"Uncle Hui, it's ready, the core personnel of the night owl have all entered silence, and the people who evacuated with me are ready, and when the time comes, I am sure that I will plunge Baiyucheng into chaos and contain most of the forces of the five major families."

"Okay, then arrange it like this, my master should come in person, and just follow my master's command when the time comes."

"Yes, Uncle Shi"

The two glanced at each other, agreed, and soon withdrew from the Holy Treasure Building, and the next day, Bai Zihua began to evacuate the core personnel, so that they could leave Baiyucheng for various reasons and never come back, and at the same time, Baizihua vigorously promoted the work hired in Baiyucheng to enrich the people.

At the same time, Bai Zihua himself also frequently went in and out of major businesses, threatening to make the business bigger and stronger, and sell some of the current housing industries for a bigger one.

There was no movement on Li Muxue's side, and it was still ruthless, because as early as a few years ago, Li Muxue stopped refining pills below the fourth order, and the fourth-order pills were not easy to gather enough materials, so generally speaking, at most two or three furnaces of pills were opened and refined a year, and they were usually cold, of course, the profit of one furnace of fourth-order pills was extremely large, which could meet the cultivation needs of Daogang monks.

If you can refine three furnaces of pills in a year, and the pill rate is not bad, then you can make a lot of money, so alchemists are undoubtedly a relatively wealthy group of immortal cultivators.

After more than 20 days, more than 100 people under Bai Zihua have withdrawn seven horses, and the rest are used to decorate the façade and cover the ground.

And the withdrawn disciples did not come back for a long time, which was easy to arouse the suspicion of the five major families, so Bai Zihua and Li Muxue decided to withdraw immediately, and at this time, they also received the news that Lin Xiao had arrived outside Baiyu City, which made everyone overjoyed, and they decided not to wait even after dark, and left immediately.
