Matters Resolved
Seeing the puzzled looks he was getting, Xiao Han couldn't help but smirk and tease him:
"Looks like we didn't come to the wrong place this time!"
At this moment, Blood Eagle flashed in front of Xiao Han and his companion, coldly snorting, "Who are you?"
Since Xiao Han and his companion did not make a move, their inner energy was contained within them. The difference in strength between them was too great for Blood Eagle to detect, and Blood Eagle spoke with considerable confidence and fearlessness.
Of course, he also secretly signaled to the others to be ready to act at any moment. There were more than just him among the Demon General. He believed that with the collective attack of more than ten Demon General, the opponent would soon be killed and become food.
However, suddenly, Blood Eagle's pupils contracted, and he looked down to see a icy hand crackling with lightning piercing through his chest.
Under the incredulous gazes of Blood Eagle and his followers, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice coldly snorted. With a single tremor, the former's body immediately froze into a layer of frost, and then suddenly turned into dust in the sky.
Xiao Han chuckled and snapped his fingers, "Frozen World!"
As soon as the words were spoken, snowflakes began to fall from the valley, and at the same time, thick ice and snow spread across the ground, gradually approaching the Blood Demon Tribe members at the center.
During this time, some people tried to fly into the sky, but they inexplicably fell to the ground. When they touched the falling snowflakes and the cold ice, they uncontrollably became ice sculptures.
After a stick of incense had burned, Xiao Han calmly looked at the lifelike ice and snow sculptures in the valley, in which one could vaguely see the fear, despair, anger, regret, and disbelief of the person who had been frozen.
Although he had eliminated these major threats Xiao Han's expression remained unchanged, unusually cold.
"We've been made a fool of!"
Xiao Han discovered considerable suspicious points in the array set up in the valley just now. Such a closed array only had one layer of Illusion Array plus a simple array to conceal the aura.
Without even a single layer of perception array buff, it means that if someone comes looking for them, there's absolutely no chance they'll notice anything; they'll be trapped inside the valley.
At first, Xiao Han thought that such a smooth process was due to some kind of conspiracy, or even an ambush.
However, he dared to act this way because he was confident in his own abilities and believed he could escape unscathed.
As a result, after easily eliminating the so-called Blood Demon Tribe in the valley who didn't even have a single Dou Sheng, Xiao Han immediately realized that these were probably expendable pawns.
Although his voice was flat and his tone remained unchanged, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice could still sense the emotions within it.
"This is just a temporary measure. Let them keep jumping around for now, and we'll settle the score later," Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice advised.
"Return to the pavilion!" Xiao Han said succinctly. It's better to go back and report now.
Shortly after Xiao Han and his companion left, two Black-Robed Figure appeared in the valley. They looked at each other, glanced at the crystal-clear waters of the valley, and then vanished.
"Did something happen so quickly?" Hun Miesheng asked calmly, his back to the two of them.
"Yes!" one of the kneeling figures said, bowing his head. "No one survived! There wasn't a single sign of resistance."
"Have you found out who did it?" Hun Miesheng was eager to know who acted so swiftly; it was still far from the time he had estimated!
"If my guess is correct, it should be the Ice Saint!" the man replied before burying his head deep in his hands.
"The Ice Saint?" Upon hearing this familiar name, Hun Miesheng's tone changed slightly. He had a deep and unforgettable memory for this person!
Can you confirm this?
"It's confirmed!" The man's tone lightened slightly. "The other party doesn't seem to have any intention of hiding their identity."
Recalling the pristine white snow and the gleaming ice sculptures under the sunlight, he couldn't help but shiver, feeling as if his blood was about to freeze.
The only person in the entire Central Plains who could wield Ice Dou Qi to this extent and with such destructive power is probably that God of Slaughter!
Ice Venerable Force of Ice River Valley is not even worthy of carrying the shoes of his opponent.
"Hmm!" Hun Miesheng's tone betrayed no emotion. "You may all leave!"
"Yes!" The two immediately stood up, backed to the door, and turned to leave.
"I wonder if that thing is in the Langya Pavilion?" Hun Miesheng murmured after the two left.
"Let's send a message back to the clan and ask Lord Void for a decision!"
Immediately, Hun Miesheng's figure flashed, and the hall fell into darkness once more, with only the emerald green flames on the surrounding walls providing a sliver of cold light.
Langya Pavilion.
The moment Yi Huang saw Xiao Han return, she quickly walked up to him, looking at him expectantly.
"Resolved?"
"It's solved!" Xiao Han nodded.
"That's good!" Yi Huang breathed a sigh of relief. In the past few days, the entire Southern Region had been in a state of panic. Apart from a few larger cities, the flow of people in other cities had decreased significantly.
Yi Huang felt heartbroken watching her income plummet. Fortunately, Xiao Han resolved the issue quickly enough that the losses weren't too great yet.
Once the killer's information is released, things will naturally return to normal.
At this moment, Yi Huang remembered the key to the matter, "Who did this?"
It takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them. If Langya Pavilion wants to silence public opinion, the most effective way is to reveal the murderer.
Xiao Han reached out and summoned an ice sculpture, about one and a half times the height of a person, in front of Yi Huang. This was the corpse of the Blood Eagle that Xiao Han had brought back.
Yi Huang looked at the frozen figure with a strange expression, frowning. What a peculiar sight.
Its entire body was scarlet, with a pair of huge bull horns on its head, crimson eyes, and two exposed teeth that looked just like the fangs of Saber-Toothed Tiger after it transformed in the Magical Beast universe.
In addition to its human body, it also has a huge tail that resembles a deep-sea crocodile, and its wide feet have no toes, making it a complete oddity.
At least among the continental creatures that Yi Huang had ever seen, there were none that matched these characteristics.
"This is..." Yi Huang needs to know what kind of creature this is!
"A special kind of creature from the non- Fierce Qi Continent." Seeing that Yi Huang still looked confused, Xiao Han added.
"It's one of the species we've been tracking."
"Hmm?" Yi Huang's pretty face was filled with a strong murderous aura as she stared intently at the corpse of the fallen Blood Eagle. Xiao Han had no doubt that if the eagle were alive and appeared before Yi Huang, it would definitely die a terrible death.
"Are we just going to introduce her like this?" Yi Huang then looked at Xiao Han and said.
Because of Xiao Han's existence, she had heard of that clan. When she heard that the Fierce Qi Continent had suffered such a great calamity, her heart clenched.
Now, the entire continent has probably forgotten about this race. Yi Huang didn't know how to explain it; telling the truth would make her seem like a fool.
Xiao Han lowered his head and pondered for a while, then whispered some instructions to Yi Huang.
After listening, the latter nodded in agreement.
The next day, news that Langya Pavilion had solved the massacre of the city spread throughout the entire Central Plains through various channels.
"Have you heard? This massacre was committed by a sect that cultivates evil arts, and their leader is a Dou Zun Peak expert!"
"So what? He still got killed!"
"You've met?" someone asked curiously.
"Who can argue with that? The ice sculpture of that leader is still hanging on the city gate of the city where the massacre at the Langya Pavilion took place!"
"An ice sculpture?" someone asked, puzzled.
"Brother, you don't know this!" the man immediately perked up.
"It is said that Langya Pavilion was extremely angry about those people's actions, and this time it was the Ice Saint himself who personally took action and directly killed them all."
"The Ice Saint?" He nodded matter-of-factly. "For that lord, it was indeed a piece of cake!"
"You can't just practice evil arts casually!" someone sighed.
"What do you mean by that, sir?" someone asked, their curiosity piqued.
"You didn't see it, that guy who was killed is no longer human, it's absolutely terrifying!"
"I also heard that..."
"..."
Central Plains was once again the subject of heated discussion.
