Only then did everyone shift their attention to the Ice Empress.
At that moment, the Ice Empress had already reverted to her true form and was sneaking away, terrified of making any noise.
She was trembling all over in fear. The sight of Little Jiu slaughtering the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had utterly terrified her.
