This human really didn't lie to me.
As the Ice Empress thought this, she arrived at the entrance to the Ice Palace where Cao De was imprisoned.
The moment she reached the entrance, the Ice Empress sensed something wrong. Why was there no trace of that human's presence inside the Ice Palace?
The Ice Empress entered the Ice Palace. The solid ice that had encased Cao De had melted into a puddle and spread outward, only to freeze again in the palace's bitter cold.
"What happened? He was poisoned by my mental barrier and sealed in ice. How did he escape?"
Fury filled the Ice Empress's heart. Her formidable mental power swept through the surroundings, but she found no trace of him.
"Damn it!"
The Ice Empress slammed her tail into the ground in anger, sending shards of ice flying.
I'll find the Nuomi Church's people and rescue my sister first, then settle the score with that bastard!
The Ice Empress hurried toward the Nuomi Church Members she had sensed.
In her perception, the strongest of these Nuomi Church Members were only at the Soul Douluo level, though they numbered over a thousand.
But she had fought even the Tai Tan Blood Demon King. She had no fear whatsoever of fighting these humans.
Such was the Ice Empress's confidence.
What she did not know was that, out of regard for the Snow Woman's strength, the Tai Tan Blood Demon King had held back an entire Pacific Ocean's worth.
The Ice Empress charged aggressively toward the thousand-strong force, determined to demand an explanation.
Inside a tent, the Nuomi Church Master finished inscribing the stone he had left unmarked earlier.
The completed stone gave off an eerie purple glow.
"Against the Shadow," the Nuomi Church Master said slowly.
