At this moment, on a towering glacier in the Polar Icefield.
Swish.
With a flicker, Gao Xia's figure appeared out of thin air in the cold wind.
He casually tossed off his top hat, grabbed his youthful and handsome face, and ripped it off forcefully!
Sizzle!
A disguise mask was torn off on the spot, revealing his true appearance hidden beneath.
It was a face etched with the marks of time.
What's truly startling is that this face bears a striking resemblance to Gao Qiu, the twelfth seat of the Desolate God Society, with a resemblance of seven or eight parts!
Gao Xia smiled, her hands behind her back, looking down at the glacier below.
That place is the site of the headquarters of the Desolate God Society.
At this moment, countless China soldiers have been stationed on the territory that originally belonged to the Desolate God Society.
The beams of searchlights crisscrossed the ice field, clearly indicating that the area had been taken over by the military.
"When I heard outside the day before yesterday that the headquarters had been raided, I thought it was just a joke by my subordinates."
"I can't believe... it's actually true."
Gao Xia looked down at the busy China soldiers.
"That base commander surnamed Wang probably discovered my disguised identity during the raid."
"That's why he deliberately tricked me to trick that blonde woman; what a scheme within a scheme."
Gao Xia's pupils constricted.
Who can understand his devastating feeling of "going out happily to scam money, only to find his home completely robbed when he returned"?
You should know that half of the treasures in that vault were priceless treasures, all of which were his hard-earned assets!
"Heh, it's just a little bit of hardship."
Gao Xia forcibly suppressed the Wrath in her heart and comforted herself.
"If the treasure is gone, we can always find another one."
"If I lose my life to the military, then I'm really done for."
He turned around and gazed towards the distant sea.
That is where the Weird Island is located.
"It seems there are some things I need to personally go to that godforsaken place to get to the bottom of."
"My incompetent colleagues..."
"And then there's my good brother who likes to play dirty tricks behind people's backs."
Get ready for this reunion!
After saying that, Gao Xia's figure disappeared without a trace once again.
In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, only a tiny black dot could be vaguely seen.
It keeps flashing in the sky...
Swish!
As the space fluctuated, the black dot landed on the beach.
On the beach of the Weird Island, in the Prayer Deep Pool.
Jiangnan's figure flashed back onto the beach in a burst of golden light, as if the horizon were Near Yet Far.
"Boss! You're finally back! This is..."
Guo Shuai, who had been waiting on the shore, excitedly went to greet them.
But he realized something was wrong halfway through his sentence.
Jiangnan appeared somewhat weary.
He raised his hand, rubbed his temples, and closed the Eye of Mobius.
Then, Jiangnan didn't even bother to take out Memo Paper and simply turned his head away.
"All troops, immediately retreat three kilometers and set up camp!"
"From this moment forward, no one is permitted to approach the Prayer Deep Pool!"
Upon hearing this, Guo Shuai's heart skipped a beat, and a wave of tension washed over him!
As a subordinate who had fought alongside Jiangnan all the way here, Guo Shuai knew his boss's style all too well.
The eldest brother usually uses sticky notes for long conversations and only speaks a word or two for short ones.
Unless...
This rule is only ignored when there is a crisis, or even when there is no time to take out Memo Paper.
To issue such long, direct instructions!
This means...
There are definitely enemies hidden in the sea that even the boss finds troublesome!
"Yes, boss! I'll get right on it!"
Guo Shuai didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately turned around and shouted for San Duo to come over.
The two of them rushed to the rear to issue the retreat order.
The China soldiers were highly disciplined; once they received orders, not a single one of them asked any unnecessary questions.
They immediately turned and retreated towards Safe Zone three kilometers away.
Jiangnan, on the other hand, stood alone in the wind and rain, turning back to take a deep look at the Prayer Deep Pool.
The sea surface churned, but the Black Mist did not pursue them.
"This guy... is not only terrifyingly strong, but also incredibly cunning."
Jiangnan was secretly making plans in his heart.
"It knows its power will be greatly reduced once it leaves its home ground in deep waters, so it would rather let me go than show its face."
"We can't just let this go; we have to find a way to force it out of that turtle shell!"
But...
Jiangnan was also having a bit of a headache at this point.
He used every trick in the book underwater just now.
The Fourth World's territory was Suppression by the other side.
Even the Karmic Hellfire, which is said to burn away everything, was broken by the opponent's Black Mist domain, which resembled a war of attrition.
"It seems that with the Word Spirit I currently possess, I won't be able to unleash them in a naval battle."
Jiangnan muttered to himself.
Then, he turned around and looked in the direction of the RV.
"Since our own methods have reached a bottleneck, we'll have to rely on external help."
"These past three days have passed, and the Novice Ranking rewards given by Sky Curtain before might be of some help."
"By the way... now that we've entered this area, it's time to farm some new Word Spirit."
