The entire cave occasionally trembled faintly.
The Ice Emperor Palace covered an immense area, and its interior was an independent micro-realm, far larger than it appeared from outside.
Through this side of the ice wall, they could vaguely make out some structures within. Their style closely resembled that of the Ice Emperor Palace, and they looked like a ruined corridor. No one could see anything farther in.
Fang Yun had once tried to use his power as a Grand Academician to peer through the ice wall, but an invisible force had blocked him.
Time slowly passed, and the cave's tremors grew stronger. At first, only dust fell, but gradually, pebbles began to tumble down as well.
Everyone released their power in succession to avoid being injured by the falling debris.
Most of the Star Demon Barbarians gathered together, talking loudly and even taking food and drink out of their seashells. Fang Yun and the two others quietly read and cultivated, utterly out of place amid the clamor.
Suddenly, Fang Yun turned toward the passage they had come through. An instant later, everyone else looked toward it as well.
The fur of several Demon Kings even stood on end, and low growls rumbled in their throats, like startled beasts.
Before long, footsteps sounded from the passage. Soon, some strange creatures came into view.
These creatures had humanlike forms and likewise walked upright on two legs, but unlike humans, their bodies were covered in dense white fur, even on their faces. Their fur was thicker than a polar bear's, and their bodies were taller and larger as well.
They had azure eyes, and their faces had noses and mouths just like humans. However, their mouths nearly stretched to their ears, while their noses were as large as fists, shaped like big eggplants.
