• The old man revealed himself as the Fifth-grade Black Tortoise and asked Fang Xi to use his powerful divine sense to help break a restriction, promising a generous reward.

Fang Xi negotiated with the hunchbacked old man of the Profound Tortoise Clan to infiltrate the Ice God Palace and retrieve a stolen clan treasure.

• The newly advanced Ice God Palace Master detected Fang Xi and attacked him with a massive hammer of Ice Element Divine Light.
