From the appearance to the disappearance of the Ice-Snow World, during which a Titled Douluo and seven Soul Sages were directly killed, it seemed like a long time had passed, but in reality, it was only a short half minute.

At this moment, Nan Shuishui, who had been staring in disbelief, finally came to her senses and looked at the man in blue in front of her incredulously.

Then, Nan Shuishui stammered, "Mr. Zhou... Mr Zhou Le?"

Zhou Huan nodded expressionlessly and said, "Yes, it's me. Sect Master Nan, how have you been?"

How have you been?

We're all safe now. If you hadn't arrived in time, we would have been wiped out.

Therefore, Nan Shuishui didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Then Nan Qiuqiu, who had been on the verge of death just half a minute ago, came over, her eyes sparkling, and said, "You, you're so amazing! That ice, that snow, it was incredible!"

This exaggerated tone left even the usually thick-skinned Zhou Huan speechless.

Especially Nan Shuishui Nan Qiuqiu's mother, felt that the babies might have been switched at birth.

How could someone as intelligent as her give birth to a simpleton like her?

However, Nan Shuishui was, after all, the head of a sect, so she quickly composed herself and respectfully bowed, saying, "Mr. Zhou, thank you very much for saving my life."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. I've said before that I would intervene three times if anything happened to the Earth Dragon Gate. This is the first time."

Before Nan Shuishui could say anything more, Zhou Huan continued, "Alright, this isn't the place to talk. None of you should resist. I'll take you away from here."

Although Nan Shuishui didn't know what Zhou Huan was going to do, she still ordered all the Disciple of the Earth Dragon Gate to follow her orders.

Immediately, a flash of white light appeared on Zhou Huan's body, and with a wave of his hand, everyone present was drawn into the Floating Pagoda.

Zhou Huan naturally couldn't place the people from the Earth Dragon Gate at the Snow Empress's Domain. Instead, he took them to another area inside the Floating Pagoda and simultaneously isolated them from their senses of the surrounding environment.

In Nan Shuishui and her friends' eyes, they had simply entered a deserted island.

Then, Zhou Huan activated the Floating Pagoda again to conceal himself and disappeared from the spot.

There were naturally troops guarding the east side of Mingdu, but their Soul Tool alone could not detect Zhou Huan.

About three hours later, with Zhou Huan flying at full speed, they had long since left the encirclement of the Mingdu army.

Arriving at a desolate hill, Zhou Huan then escorted Nan Shuishui and the others out of the Floating Pagoda.

As soon as the people from the Earth Dragon Gate appeared, Nan Qiuqiu bombarded her with questions. "Zhou Le, Zhou Le, where did you take us? How did you disappear in a flash?"

Zhou Huan's lips twitched upon hearing this.

I really don't know whether to call this girl naive or just plain stupid. Is this the kind of thing you should be asking?

Unsurprisingly, the next second, Nan Qiuqiu was slapped on the back of the head by Nan Shuishui; it looked painful.

She truly is my mother!

Then, Nan Shuishui said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, my daughter is being unreasonable."

Zhou Huan waved her hand and said, "It's alright, children are naturally curious, I can understand."

At this moment, Nan Shuishui brought up the matter of the Evil Soul Master: "Although that Ming Lei has a grudge against me, so many years have passed. Why did he choose this time to come to our Earth Dragon Gate? And he even brought seven Evil Soul Masters at the Soul Sage level. It seems like he wants to capture us alive. This matter is definitely not that simple."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan nodded, thinking to himself, "He truly deserves to be the head of a sect."

It's easy to see the essence through the phenomena.

Zhou Huan had no reason to hide the fact that Mingdu was besieged, so he explained, "That was the work of Crown Prince Xu Tianran of the Sun Moon Crown Prince. He has allied with the Holy Spirit Cult, an organization of Evil Soul Master. Their goal is to capture the members of the various sects and academies who came to participate in the competition."

"What?!" Nan Shuishui was shocked, because this was simply too outrageous!

Ignoring Nan Shuishui's shock, Zhou Huan continued, "The entire outer perimeter of Mingdu is now surrounded by the army and Evil Soul Master. Entry is permitted, but exit is not; any group attempting to leave will fall into their hands."

At this moment, Nan Shuishui still looked incredulous. "The Sun Moon Empire, how dare they? They're going against all the sects in the world!"

Zhou Huan shook his head and said, "There's nothing we wouldn't dare to do. As long as we have hostages from the major sects, and they are all elites of the younger generation, then no matter what we do, the sects will have to be hesitant to act."

"Alright, you know the whole story now. This place is far from Mingdu, you should go back. Sect Master Nan, I have a suggestion for you: relocate the Earth Dragon Gate as soon as possible, preferably to Shrek City."

"The Sun Moon Empire is about to make its move, and the Heavenly Soul Empire will definitely be the first to suffer. Dragon City will also be in danger. War is about to break out on the Douluo Continent."

"Furthermore, you may be the only sect to have escaped. I don't recommend you return to the Earth Dragon Gate. Going directly to Shrek City is the safest option. Who knows if Xu Tianran and the Holy Spirit Cult won't send people to the Earth Dragon Gate to hunt you down? The Earth Dragon Gate might be safer without you."

After hearing this analysis, Nan Shuishui, who had just escaped the clutches of evil, felt a chill run down her spine again. She immediately nodded and said, "Okay, let's head to Shrek City immediately. I'll also send a message back to the Earth Dragon Gate."

Nan Shuishui dared not hesitate for such a matter that concerned the life and death of her sect.

Furthermore, the treasures of the Cold Spring from the Earth Dragon Gate have already been retrieved; now it's just a matter of changing the sect's location.

As long as the sect has its wealth and resources, it can rebuild a sect anywhere.

Nan Shuishui has no doubt about Zhou Huan in this matter.

Putting aside the fact that Zhou Huan had just saved them, given the strength Zhou Huan had displayed, such a powerful figure could easily destroy the Earth Dragon Gate with one hand. Why would he need to lie to her?

Seeing that Nan Shuishui had taken his words to heart, Zhou Huan stopped talking and said, "Then I'll take my leave now, Sect Master Nan. Until we meet again."

Before Nan Shuishui could say anything in farewell, Zhou Huan vanished in a flash.

Seeing Zhou Huan appear and disappear without a trace, Nan Qiuqiu said with envy, "No master could be more skilled than this! He's so cool!"

Hearing this, the elderly mother, Nan Shuishui, twitched her face, then slapped Nan Qiuqiu: "You haven't even seen his real face, what's so handsome about him?!"

"Being handsome is a quality! It's not something that can be compared to mere physical appearance," Nan Qiuqiu said with a serious expression.

This surprised Nan Shuishui. When did her silly daughter come to understand such profound principles?

Is it really true that you can't stop children from being disciplined, and that brute force can work miracles?

Looks like I'll have to play this more often in the future.

Just as Nan Shuishui was feeling somewhat comforted, Nan Qiuqiu's next words made her realize she had gotten excited for nothing. "Besides, I think the injuries on his face are fake. He's just wearing a mask so people won't recognize him. Mom, think about it, someone so awesome... uh, no, someone so powerful, how could he have an injury on his face? Wouldn't he try his best to protect his face?"

Nan Shuishui: "..." She suddenly felt that her daughter was beyond saving, and the Daluo Continent was no longer suitable for this foolish daughter to live in.

At the same time, in the Crown Prince's study in the Sun Moon Empire.

With a hiss, Xu Tianran crushed the newsletter in his hand to shreds, his face turning quite grim.

As for the silver-armored general kneeling before him, he trembled with fear and dared not even raise his head.

After a long silence, Xu Tianran said to Ju Zi beside him, "A sect called Earth Dragon Gate has run away."

Upon hearing this, Ju Zi was also shocked. How could a mere ordinary sect, which hadn't even made it through the first round of Elimination Match, possibly have managed to escape from an army of tens of thousands?

Moreover, with experts from the Holy Spirit Cult in charge, isn't the strongest sect leader of the Earth Dragon Gate just a Soul Douluo?

So, is this a dereliction of duty by the military? Or is it inaction by the Holy Spirit Cult?

The point is, this has only just begun, and this has already happened. We haven't even caught a few fish yet, and one has already escaped.

No wonder Xu Tianran was so angry!

However, Ju Zi was still Ju Zi; she was experienced in dealing with this capricious Crown Prince. "Your Highness, the most important thing now is to ensure that no one else escapes. At the same time, the Earth Dragon Gate must also send people to hunt them down and prevent them from spreading information about Mingdu. The Holy Spirit Cult should also play its part."

Ju Zi understood that what the Crown Prince always needed was a solution to the problem, so she suggested that the Holy Spirit Cult handle the trouble.

Naturally, she needed to become Xu Tianran's right-hand woman; her existence had to be valuable, even if that value was just offering a small suggestion.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Xu Tianran looked at the silver-armored general kneeling on the ground. "You heard what the princess said, why aren't you doing it? If something like this happens again, you should know the consequences."

The silver-armored general immediately kowtowed. "Yes, Your Highness."

After the silver-armored general left, Xu Tianran said, "To unify Douluo, the three armies must have an outstanding commander, and this one... Hmph!"

Ju Zi naturally wouldn't comment on this; she knew that Xu Tianran's dissatisfaction stemmed from his discontent with the Commander-in-Chief and also with the Holy Spirit Cult.

However, given the current situation, Xu Tianran will not turn against the Holy Spirit Cult, so the only one who will suffer is the current Commander-in-Chief.

Ju Zi's mind raced; perhaps this was her chance.
