The scene was quite chaotic.
When Bai Lian came to her senses, she found herself alone in the empty hall.
The hall looked strange under the red light.
Like the abyss depicted in movies and TV shows.
That's quite absurd.
Can anything be bright?
Bai Lian's gaze fell upon the shattered face of the Black Stone Ghost, which appeared to be completely fragmented.
Damn it!
She stepped on it.
She crushed the Black Stone Ghost Face, which was already in a fragmented state, into ashes almost instantly.
The gentle breeze blew and dispersed the dust.
From now on, the world would have no trace of the Black Stone Ghost Face.
Great! Since the Black Stone Ghost Face has disappeared, she no longer needs to keep her promise to "eat it on the spot".
Bai Lian shook her head.
Although she wanted to keep her promise, the Black Stone Ghost Face had turned to ashes, making it impossible for her to do so. It wasn't her fault.
With a sense of satisfaction, Bai Lian left the hall after ultimately resolving the issue.
She realized that this was a great opportunity to escape.
If the Hades Hall manages to overcome this crisis, the Lord of the Hades Hall will never let her get away.
Bai Lian cannot afford to hesitate.
Bai Lian's mastery of 8 skill points in Magic Array is sufficient to help her evade the majority of magic arrays and traps within the Hades Hall.
Nevertheless, in contrast to these straightforward magic arrays, Bai Lian was more focused on the battle taking place outside.
Bai Lian cannot afford to involve herself in such a large-scale battle at this moment, as even a minor scratch from its aftermath can cause serious injury.
Up above the black clouds.
Beneath a cloudless sky.
Countless snowflakes danced around a figure dressed in pure white, resembling ice.
At a quick glance, the dark cloud appeared to be a tumultuous sea of tempests.
The noonday sunlight poured and diffused over the turbulent "tidal wave".
The swift collision eventually brought about a period of tranquility.
However, don't drop your guard as a faster impact is brewing.
At this moment, assuming that everything is finished can lead to confusion by the waves and even exhaustion unto death.
Bai Lian comprehended this.
The Hades Hall's Lord, who confronted the Wuheng Snow Valley people, was also aware of it.
The woman with the hairpin of snow-colored hair was well aware of it.
In the battle that took place twenty-two years ago in Hengshui Valley, the difference in their strengths was not significant.
Usually, even if he lost, he wouldn't be seriously injured or at the brink of death.
However, during that time, the Lord of the Hades Hall fell into the trap of the Snow Spirit Lord as soon as they began to fight.
Being merely a young man devoted to technology, how could he possibly defeat a seasoned old witch?
The most dreadful aspect is that the Snow Spirit Lord had already grasped the Meaning of Heavy Water prior to the battle.
The Lord of the Hades Hall believed that Hating Water could diminish the might of the Snow Spirit Lord, yet it had the unforeseen effect of significantly amplifying the Snow Spirit Lord's abilities.
The Snow Spirit Lord defeated the Lord of the Hades Hall promptly.
Yes.
There is no threat at all.
"I can do whatever I want to you, and there's nothing you can do about it."
At that moment, the Snow Spirit Lord looked down at him with disdainful eyes and spoke.
The Lord of the Hades Hall was extremely angry.
He was really furious.
Even if he were subjected to the most heinous acts, he would not harbor such intense hatred.
However,
He was unable to seek revenge.
The power of the Snow Spirit Lord was overwhelming.
Even before the battle, she was already considered the strongest individual in the Snow Sea.
Following the war, she had become so powerful that she was capable of defeating even the Immortals at Transcendance Stage.
She is more akin to a Water Spirit Lord than to a Snow Spirit Lord.
"What are you doing, Snow Spirit Lord?"
The Lord of the Hades Hall shouted at the flurrying frost and snow.
Although there were people standing behind him, he didn't feel any sense of security.
Since more than half of the Wuheng Snow Valley's high-end combat power has arrived as well.
Under these circumstances, he can only rely on the Hades Hall for protection, but even then, only for himself.
This is not the future desired by the Lord of the Hades Hall.
He yearned to become the most powerful being in the world; he wanted all creatures of the Snow Sea to cheer for him and have the Snow Spirit Lord prostrate before him in adoration!
However…
He was unable to.
The countenance of the Lord of Hades Hall appeared extremely furious.
However, the Snow Spirit Lord appeared very composed.
Beneath the layer of white gauze was a gentle voice akin to a warm spring breeze.
"I heard that you have apprehended Bai Lian from the Duxian sect."
"!"
The Lord of the Hades Hall was taken aback.
What in the world? How did the Snow Spirit Lord come to know about this news?
He soon figured it out--
There is a traitor in the Hall of Hades!
Other than him and Bai Lian, only Yougui, the mysterious man in black who captured Bai Lian, was aware of it.
"It can't be him."
Yougui has faithfully served three Lords of the Hades Hall, and he was the one who caught Bai Lian, so how could he possibly betray the Hades Hall?
As the Lord of the Hades Hall was about to deny it, the Snow Spirit Lord gracefully lifted the snowflake eardrop that dangled from her left ear.
Ding Ling Ling.
Bai Lian's eyes grew wide.
The pure bell was chiming in the sky.
At that moment, Bai Lian felt the urge to kneel in front of the Snow Spirit Lord and pay obeisance.
It was a Spirit Tool capable of controlling souls!
Bai Lian touched her earring.
This dark blue earring could only conceal her Tao Halo.
Why is there such a huge wealth disparity between the rich and the poor?
If she possesses one high-grade Spirit Tool, let alone four, she can support the cultivation of 40 Martial Sisters!
With a calm demeanor, the Snow Spirit Lord addressed the Lord of the Hades Hall saying, "Why do you lie to me? If I didn't have precise information, how else would I have come to you?"
The Lord of the Hades Hall remained silent.
He swept his Divine Sense around but couldn't detect any suspicious individuals.
Only a few subordinates, whose minds had been manipulated by the Snow Spirit Lord's eardrop, were breathing heavily.
"Hum!"
The Lord of the Hades Hall let out a grunt.
The sound of his magic startled everyone around.
Those people woke up abruptly with a violent shake, but upon looking at the Snow Spirit Lord again, they only felt overwhelmed.
She is too distant.
Like an eternal piece of ice.
People tremble just being beside her.
In other words.
Being good looking is useless.
In this world, there are countless people who are good-looking.
The Lord of the Hades Hall responded with a casual "And?"
The Snow Spirit Lord let out a chuckle and said, "I'm here to take Bai Lian."
Squinting, the Lord of the Hades Hall asked, "Are you trying to take her away from me?"
The Snow Spirit Lord explained, "I've always been on good terms with the Duxian sect. I can't just stand idly by while Bai Lian suffers."
Fuck you!
The Lord of the Hades Hall refrained from using profane language to preserve his reputation.
"When did you establish a good relationship with the Duxian sect? Why wasn't I informed?"
"It's a personal matter. Why should I share it with you?" replied the Snow Spirit Lord. "Lord of the Hades Hall, surrender Bai Lian to me. On behalf of Bai Lian's master, I'll excuse your discourtesy towards me earlier."
Her voice suddenly turned a bit cold.
The snow and wind surrounding her appeared to be churning.
"That's a lie!" The Lord of the Hades Hall exclaimed in his mind.
The Lord of the Hades Hall clarified, "I believe there has been a misunderstanding. Bai Lian is my daughter whom I have been separated from for many years. This is a personal matter concerning my family…"
Interrupting the Lord of the Hades Hall, the Snow Spirit Lord asked, "Bai Lian is your daughter? How can you prove it?"
"I have proof in the form of the ghost face!"
"The ghost face? Can this small trick even be considered as evidence? I could make as many masks as I want - black, red, pink - you name it!"
The Snow Spirit Lord's laughter echoed through the sky.
"Are you going to be unreasonable?" The Lord of the Hades Hall asked angrily.
"You're being unreasonable. I think you desire to become a father too much. You already have three sons and two daughters. Can't they fulfill your wishes?"
"Watch your mouth, Snow Spirit Lord. Don't go too far!"
The Lord of the Hades Hall materialized instantly with innumerable black runes trailing behind him.
His intent to kill was surging.
The Snow Spirit Lord was not afraid.
Her melodious flute pierced through the black clouds like a bullet, causing a deep crackling sound.
