The Blood Sea Junior Overseer knew the moment he saw this "Ice City Princess" that today's undertaking had failed.
Had he not attacked that girl in white, they might have stayed out of each other's way.
Now that he had struck, the Extreme Eastern Ice City would never let them go.
They and the Imperial Court were already mortal enemies. Whenever they crossed paths, it was a fight to the death.
"Retreat!"
The Blood Sea Junior Overseer was utterly decisive. The instant he made up his mind, he crushed a jade talisman in his sleeve and escaped from the Profound Darkness Hall.
He cared nothing for the lives of those deathsworn soldiers of the Black Cloud Impermanence Army.
The five third-rank baleful corpses belonged to the Ruin Race of Guixu, so he had even less reason to concern himself with them.
The only problem was that this operation had failed on the very brink of success. He had no idea how to explain it to his superior.
He thought that if all else failed, he could only lay the blame on the Extreme Eastern Ice City.
They had been unlucky enough to encounter the Ice City Princess. There was nothing to be done about that.
With luck, he might even earn some merit.
The Formless Divine Sect might have secretly joined forces with the Extreme Eastern Ice City. The Imperial Court could hardly afford not to investigate.
Just as the Blood Sea Junior Overseer left, the Ice City Princess looked at the black-armored warriors filling the hall and the baleful corpses among them. Her slender brows knitted slightly, shock and anger appearing in her eyes.
"How dare you!"
Clang!
With that angry rebuke, the sword hanging at the Ice City Princess's waist suddenly rang like a dragon's cry.
