No matter what, Xiao Yan had been the one to bring Qingtan to the Great Thousand World, and she was also his disciple's aunt. By both sentiment and reason, he could not simply stand by. As for the Ice Spirit Clan, never mind that only a small team had come to the Sky Luo Continent-even if he went to their headquarters, the Xiao Yan of today would have little reason to fear them.
Before leaving the Nine Nether Sparrow Tribe, Xiao Yan had left a soul imprint on Qingtan as a precaution, though he had never tried to sense it. Now that he knew she was also on the Sky Luo Continent, he immediately used his soul force to follow that faint connection.
To evade the Ice Spirit Clan's pursuit, Qingtan was hiding in a region called the Nether God Abyss. Its terrain was treacherous, and a strange miasma barred the way, so the Ice Spirit Clan had yet to track her there. But she also knew that the miasma could not hold them off for long. Once they reached this place, she would surely have no escape from death.
Yet even now, she had no idea why the Ice Spirit Clan wanted to kill her. She had been carrying out a mission for the Nine Nether Enforcement Team when members of the Ice Spirit Clan suddenly appeared, intent on capturing her and taking her back. At first, those who attacked were merely Fifth-Rank Supremes, whom she could barely manage to handle. But the pursuers grew stronger and stronger, until she could no longer hold out. She could only flee, eventually taking refuge on the Sky Luo Continent.
What Qingtan still did not know was that the Ice Spirit Clan had even dispatched an Earth Supreme to deal with her.
