"Sigh, it's been so long, and we still haven't heard anything about Ye Xiao. Do you think he already knows Ye Fu's remains are fake?"
How many times is he going to say that?!
In Mingdu Prison, the Ice Empress, reduced to a tiny size, waved her pincers in irritation.
What was wrong with this jailer called Lin Yi? He had said the remains were fake eight hundred times in a single day!
Hmph, I've already worked it out. The shift change is in another hour.
When the time comes, I'll take those two humans and make a run for it!
As for the remains, once I get back and tell that little lecher, he'll absolutely worship me!
The Ice Empress reveled in the thought, her little tail curling upward.
Boom!
At that moment, a deafening boom suddenly erupted nearby!
The Ice Empress's pupils contracted. She instantly reined in her Soul Power and watched the direction the sound had come from.
As her senses penetrated the walls, she clearly saw a battlefield.
On that battlefield, an old man with short gray-silver hair was facing off against a man dressed in a regal black-and-gold robe.
Notably, the man had dragon horns on his head and carried an overbearing, imposing presence!
It was none other than Di Tian, who had appeared in the heavenly screen before!
"What a chance!"
The Ice Empress couldn't be bothered to wonder why Di Tian was here. Since Mingdu was already in chaos, she naturally no longer needed to be so careful.
She quickly took on her loli form and raised a hand, moving Jing Ziyan and Ji Juechen from nearby into her grasp.
Boom!
Just then, Jing Ziyan abruptly raised her head, her scarlet eyes fixed on the Ice Empress. A sinister blood-red light instantly struck the Ice Empress!
After launching that attack, Jing Ziyan fell into a deep sleep.
"Ah!"
The Ice Empress cried out in pain. Her chest had been corroded by the bloody light.
"Damn it!"
The Ice Empress shot Jing Ziyan a vicious glare, then took the two of them and fled without looking back.
She knew full well that Jing Ziyan was merely a cannon, and that the Soul Power underlying this attack was very strong. At the very least, she couldn't defeat its source!
If she didn't run, was she supposed to stay where she was and wait for death?
"Jie jie jie~"
"I couldn't find that slippery brat, but finding a little scorpion isn't bad either."
The Ice Empress's expression grew grave as she emerged from a flash of blue light. She warily watched the woman in red gauze blocking her path.
"I wonder whether that fellow can still keep his composure once I refine you into a blood slave."
Ye Xishui sized up the Ice Empress, her eyes full of interest.
Such an exceptional specimen was, at this moment, even more appealing to her than Ye Xiao!
"Ice Empress, we meet again."
Just then, however, a refined man in white robes appeared beside the Ice Empress.
He stood with the Ice Empress, facing Ye Xishui together.
"It's you, that what's-his-name from the Star Dou Great Forest!"
The Ice Empress's eyes flickered. She recognized the Myriad Demon King.
She had never imagined that he would step forward to help her.
The great Soul Beast family moved her so deeply!
"This bloody battle can't be avoided, Ice Empress. I'll help you."
The Myriad Demon King nodded, his gaze growing solemn.
His approach to winning Ye Xiao over had never changed: he relied on "affection"!
To put it more plainly, the Soul Beast side needed to shed blood in this battle.
And he had learned this move from that woman with the Red Dragon Martial Soul!
"A Ferocious Beast from the Star Dou Great Forest..."
With her hands behind her back, Ye Xishui glanced thoughtfully at Di Tian on the other battlefield.
She couldn't help feeling some pressure.
If the Far North and Star Dou joined forces, they might even be able to sweep across the world!
If possible, she had best reduce the Soul Beast side's fighting strength as much as she could in this battle.
And... if she put all these Soul Beasts into her Death God Tower...
Ye Xishui's eyes suddenly turned greedy.
Then, as long as no god appeared, she would be the ruler of the Douluo Continent!
Whoosh!
On yet another battlefield, hidden from view.
A multicolored beam of light flashed, and Long Xiaoyao spat out a mouthful of blood, his face growing extremely old.
"Since he's a Limit Douluo, I'll keep him as a reward."
Gu Yuena clapped her hands, and seven-colored Soul Power sealed Long Xiaoyao.
Then she looked toward the two battlefields.
There was no need to say more about Di Tian's side. One look at him strolling about at ease was enough to tell that an old man was toying with a mischievous child.
The Ice Empress and the Myriad Demon King's battle was much more brutal. Even together, the two were sent scurrying for cover by Ye Xishui.
Gu Yuena thought for a moment, then directly opened a spatial rift and took the two humans away.
Though she didn't understand why the Myriad Demon King insisted on using some self-injury ploy, her world-shaking wisdom told her that nothing could be allowed to happen to those two humans.
"There's another expert?"
Ye Xishui's every move was sweeping and forceful, crimson blood light swirling around her.
She first forced the two beasts back, then retreated two steps, staring in shock and uncertainty at the two people who had vanished through the spatial rift.
And... why hadn't Long Xiaoyao intervened to stop that rift?
Ye Xishui's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly grew uneasy.
"All of you, stop!"
"Or I'll crush these remains!"
A shout suddenly rang out across both battlefields. Everyone looked over to see a bone dragon descending from the sky, a pile of remains clutched in its claws.
Di Tian narrowed his eyes and struck Kong Deming with another claw, making him spit blood. Then he put his hands behind his back and looked arrogantly at Zhongli Wu atop the bone dragon's head.
The Ice Empress panted, her eyes flickering. She already knew the remains were fake, and she was wondering whether she could use that information to catch Ye Xishui out as well.
For a moment, the chaotic battles all miraculously came to a halt!
"Just as I thought, you all came for Ye Xiao."
Ye Xishui's cold, sinister eyes swept over the Soul Beasts.
Fortunately, fortunately she still had this trump card in hand. Otherwise, she might really have let Ye Xiao gain the upper hand.
"The remains are fake."
High above Mingdu, a breathtakingly beautiful woman with silver hair and violet eyes suddenly appeared.
She studied the remains for a moment before speaking slowly.
Though her voice was soft, it still reached everyone's ears.
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Ye Xishui saw the newcomer's face and recalled the introduction in the heavenly screen.
Her soul nearly fled her body, and she looked utterly mad!
"I dug these remains out of Ye Fu's grave myself. They even have Ye Fu's name on them. There's no way they're fake!"
Ye Xishui's expression was cold as she argued sharply, though she was already thinking about how to escape.
At her level, she understood the power of a god all the better.
Though she didn't know how Gu Yuena could interfere in mortal affairs, she knew full well that the situation was beyond saving!
After all, Long Xiaoyao had already vanished.
"The Soul Power lingering on these remains leans toward the fire attribute, but has no sacred attribute. They can't have belonged to someone with the Angel Martial Soul."
Gu Yuena shook her head, her expression indifferent.
She was about to say something else when she suddenly looked up in another direction.
There, a dreadfully sinister presence was surging toward them!
