Wrapped in Snow Empress's vast Soul Power, one man and two soul beasts tore through the gray-white skies of the Far North, speeding southward.
About two and a half hours later, a bluish-gray outline appeared on the distant horizon.
The group stopped outside Dragon City.
Ice Empress curiously examined the human city amid the ice and snow.
"Say, kid," Ice Empress said, turning to stare at Jiang Bai with suspicion in her voice, "you're not planning to lure us here and then gather human experts to kill us, are you?"
Jiang Bai said helplessly, "Do you think that's possible? If I really wanted to harm you, I'd definitely be the first to die. Before you, I wouldn't even have a chance to struggle. Besides, I'm very afraid of death."
His tone was sincere, and his gaze was calm.
Ice Empress stared at him for a few seconds, then snorted, apparently accepting the explanation.

A Myriad-Year Profound Ice Cave was actually formed when profound ice remained buried deep
