When Sword Demon heard the name of the person Zhang Tianqing wanted to kill, he sensed Lin Bai's call.
That was why Sword Demon had refused to accept the mission at the first opportunity, instead wanting to head to Southern Province immediately.
But Zhang Tianqing had insisted on courting death and provoked Sword Demon. Sword Demon was no pushover either, so he drew his sword and killed Zhang Tianqing.
After leaving the Faceless Ones' headquarters, Sword Demon left the Eastern Continent by the fastest means possible and headed straight for the Poison God Family.
At the same time.
Within Ice Lake Sea, in the outer sect of the Eastern Continent Academy.
The frozen Bronze Gate began to rumble and shake. The entire Ice Lake Sea trembled violently, and countless chunks of ice shattered and broke apart.
The disturbance in Ice Lake Sea alarmed a large number of outer-sect elders.
"What's going on?"
"In just two years, Ice Lake Sea has already shaken several times."
"What on earth is happening?"
One outer-sect elder after another rushed into Ice Lake Sea.
All they saw was the ten-thousand-zhang glacier within Ice Lake Sea splitting apart, with shattered ice scattered everywhere.
Pale-white ice mist danced through the air.
When they arrived above Ice Lake Sea, they happened to see a colossal figure appear within the ice mist. In the next moment, that colossal figure vanished.
It left Ice Lake Sea and the Eastern Continent Academy.
No one knew where it had gone.
"What was that thing? Could it have been an abyssal behemoth?" one outer-sect elder after another exclaimed when they saw the enormous silhouette within the ice mist.
In particular, they had seen two purple-gold Divine Crystals within that silhouette, shining like stars.
This was perhaps something those outer-sect elders would never forget
