• The wounded ink dragon dove toward the pool, and Shi Lan pursued it, reaching out to seize it.

Shi Lan killed the Ink Flood Dragon and discovered an immature ice Extreme Dao Talisman in the depths of its pool. As she considered fusing with the treasure, a group of Reincarnators entered the valley to claim their mission target, while Mo Lun and his guards waited outside.
