My Spiritual Power Is Pretty Strong

The very next instant, however, this powerful Soul Beast that had dominated the Far North for hundreds of thousands of years felt a chill in this freezing world of ice and snow!

She discovered that even her desperate struggles were completely useless.

The sensation of restraint was growing stronger at an astonishing rate, squeezing her body until it made teeth-grinding creaking sounds. No matter how she struggled, the force binding her only continued to increase.

Her raised front pincers were gradually forced down, while her upturned tail hook was pressed tightly against her body.

One of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, a being of immense power, was now completely unable to escape Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's control!

"Tian Meng, what did you do?!" Ice Empress demanded sharply of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Don't be nervous, Ice Empress. I won't hurt you, as long as the next part of the plan goes smoothly." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shook his head as he looked at the thoroughly restrained Ice Empress. With a sweep of his hand, Huo Yuhao and Jiang Qingtong, who had been hiding beneath the snow, were revealed.

Seeing two humans appear here, Ice Empress was somewhat puzzled. "Are these two humans your puppets? Wait... What kind of aura is this coming from that one?"

Ice Empress sensed the Rank Nine Soul Tool on Jiang Qingtong and was astonished that an ordinary human girl could make her feel this way.

"Yuhao, carry her and let's get out of here! Otherwise, once the Ice Jade Scorpions sense what has happened to their ancestor, it'll be troublesome if they come after us!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm did not answer Ice Empress's question. He first trapped her within his shed skin, then put it away before speaking to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao lowered his head and looked at Jiang Qingtong, whose eyes were tightly shut. Gritting his teeth, he hoisted her onto his back and sprinted in one direction. He did not spare any Soul Power as he charged ahead at full speed.

He had no idea how long he had run by the time the Soul Power in his body was completely drained. He fell forward and said, "I can't... I can't run anymore! She's too... too heavy..."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm looked at Huo Yuhao and urged, "Yuhao, you still need more training! This isn't nearly far enough. In this wind and snow, the Ice Jade Scorpions can move far faster than you! We haven't even escaped their sensing range yet!"

"Come on, Yuhao! Have you forgotten your oath? You still have to get revenge! You carry your mother's hopes on your back! Run, Yuhao!"

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao clenched his teeth and forced himself upright. He carried Jiang Qingtong on his back again and continued running, though his legs were already trembling from exhaustion.

In the distance, dark green specks could be seen drawing closer through the snowstorm. There were many of them, forming a dense black mass as they rushed this way. They were Ice Jade Scorpions racing over after sensing Ice Empress's condition. Most were at the hundred- or thousand-year level, though some were more than ten thousand years old.

"This is bad! They've found us!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm noticed the approaching Ice Jade Scorpions, his expression turning grave. "Yuhao, run! I'll stop them from tracking us!"

"But..." Huo Yuhao frowned.

Just then, Jiang Qingtong gripped Huo Yuhao's shoulder, startling him.

"Gasp—"

Huo Yuhao sucked in a breath of cold air and turned to look at Jiang Qingtong on his back. "Cousin?"

Jiang Qingtong did not know whether Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had failed to escape because of her, but she knew that if she did not act now, it would be truly troublesome once those Ice Jade Scorpions caught up to them.

She opened her eyes, jumped off Huo Yuhao's back, and brushed the windblown snow from herself. Then she waved to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who floated nearby as a golden phantom. "Nice to meet you, Brother Sky Dream."

Shock appeared in both Huo Yuhao's and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's eyes. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm even stammered, "Th-th-this... What's going on? I knocked you unconscious! With my Spiritual Power, there shouldn't have been any accidents..."

Looking at the stunned Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Jiang Qingtong smiled and said, "Sorry, my Spiritual Power is pretty strong, and I have a lot of treasures on me too, so I blocked it. But now isn't the time to talk about that. Let's get away from those Ice Jade Scorpions first, then we can discuss it properly."

"Cousin, do you have a way?" Huo Yuhao looked at Jiang Qingtong excitedly.

Jiang Qingtong nodded and took out a Soul Tool that looked like a mechanical sphere.

"Rank Nine Soul Tool, Void Wander. Once activated, it can race in a designated direction for fifteen minutes at the full traveling speed of a Rank Ninety-Two Titled Douluo. Escaping the Ice Jade Scorpions' encirclement will be easy."

When Huo Yuhao saw Jiang Qingtong take out Void Wander, he said delightedly, "That's great!"

"Here, take my hand." Jiang Qingtong held out her hand for Huo Yuhao to grasp. Then she directly activated Void Wander.

The patterns on Void Wander's shell, which had originally been only the size of a lychee, rapidly emitted light. It expanded, enveloping both Jiang Qingtong and Huo Yuhao.

Immediately afterward, arcs of lightning appeared around it, and it shot forward with a bang.

In the blink of an eye, it had left the Ice Jade Scorpions far behind. It only came to a stop fifteen minutes later, and even Jiang Qingtong had no idea exactly where they had flown.

But Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was very familiar with the Far North. He looked around at their surroundings, sighed in relief, and said, "We're safe now."

Jiang Qingtong raised her hand and retrieved Void Wander. Looking at the dim Soul Tool in her hand, she said regretfully, "Sigh... It takes so long to recharge this thing once."

All of Jiang Qingtong's and Jiang Shengyu's Rank Nine Soul Tools had an additional inscription that automatically restored energy. However, since it had only recently been added, and they could not alter the Soul Tools' original structure or function, the rate of energy restoration was rather limited.

Jiang Qingtong put away Void Wander and looked at Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. After thinking for a moment, she said to them, "You two... can tell me what exactly is going on now, right?"

Huo Yuhao looked awkward and uneasy. He turned toward Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. "Brother Sky Dream..."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, however, clasped his hands behind his back, looked in another direction, and whistled.

Left with no choice, Huo Yuhao could only steel himself and tell Jiang Qingtong everything, waiting for her reaction. She'll be angry, right? She'll probably be very angry. After all, I deceived her for so long.

Huo Yuhao felt extremely uneasy.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's expression, Jiang Qingtong stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. "Chin up. So what if you have a Million Year Soul Ring, and it's intelligent too? It's no big deal!"

"It's no big deal?"

After hearing Jiang Qingtong's words, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm frowned. He jumped up and protested, "Little girl, do you know what you're saying? I'm the continent's only Million Year Soul Beast! Do you know how precious my Soul Ring is?!"
