Meanwhile.
Far North, Mixed Zone.
Two figures were fleeing in disarray.
They were two women dressed in aqua-blue clothing, their features seventy to eighty percent alike.
One of them was a white-haired old woman. Her Martial Soul was the Ice Phoenix, and a biting chill surrounded her body. Seven Spirit Rings in the optimal configuration circled around her, though her aura was somewhat weak at the moment.
The other was a young woman.
She was tall and fairly attractive, but her face was somewhat pale.
Her Martial Soul was also the Ice Phoenix, though she only had four Spirit Rings, all in the optimal configuration.
Her Soul Power had already reached rank fifty.
Clearly, the old woman had brought the young woman here to hunt a Soul Beast.
Yet at that moment, several ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts were crazily pursuing them from behind.
Not only were there Soul Beasts on the ground, but there was even a flying Soul Beast in the sky.
Normally, with the old woman's strength as a Soul Sage, she could roam freely through the Mixed Zone.
Bringing a junior along to obtain a Spirit Ring should have been effortless.
However, not long ago, just as they had found their target Soul Beast and were preparing to make a move, the ground had begun to shake violently.
Afterward, countless ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts had swarmed toward them. It seemed as though something terrifying was chasing the beasts from behind, forcing the two women to flee in panic.
Later, after they had finally managed to shake off those Soul Beasts and were preparing to search for another target, they encountered this new wave of pursuing Soul Beasts.
After a fierce battle, they had expended much of their Soul Power and had no choice but to flee in embarrassment.
