Chapter 576: Zi Ji: "What I did was called tactical silence, what do you know!"
Chapter 576: Zi Ji: "What I did was called tactical silence, what do you know!"
Snow Empress fell into silence.
The surrounding wind and snow fluttered quickly and slowly with her thoughts, seeming to weigh the pros and cons.
A moment later, Snow Empress’s cold voice sounded.
"After all, you few are all top-tier Soul Beasts with over 100,000-year of cultivation."
"Entering the hinterland of the Far North in a group with such massive power will inevitably cause panic among the Soul Beast herds along the way."
"The ecological balance of the entire Far North will be affected."
Lin Qingmo quickly understood the subtext of Snow Empress.
"Is Your ExcellencySnow Empress worried that we might accidentally disturb or even hurt the aborigines of the Far North?"
Snow Empress glanced at him with an indifferent expression.
"I will send you across."
As these brief six words came out,
Not only Ice Empress was stunned.
Even the normally calm Bi Ji showed a startled expression.
The Far NorthSovereign personally acting as a guide for a group of outsiders?
Snow Empress completely ignored the shock of others.
"Instead of letting you rampage in the depths of the Far North and disturb the subjects of my Far North."
"It’s better that I follow in person."
"It is both an escort and surveillance."
Ice Empress instantly became anxious: "Xue’er, you—"
Snow Empress raised a slender, jade-white hand to cut off Ice Empress’s unsaid words.
"Bing’er, you stay in the core area, guard this place well, and take care of A-Tai."
"I..."
Ice Empress gritted her teeth.
Her emerald tail stinger irritably scraped deep grooves into the ice surface.
She rarely defied the decisions made by Snow Empress.
Even if there were ten thousand reluctances in her heart, at this moment she could only swallow them back into her stomach forcefully.
Lin Qingmo looked unexpectedly at the peerless and ethereal white figure ahead.
The true Sovereign of the Far North personally stepped forward to escort them.
This meant that for the rest of the journey, the harsh blizzards of the Far North and the swarms of ferocious Soul Beasts—the probability of all troubles directly dropped to zero.
It was simply equivalent to getting an unobstructed ultimate pass.
What about the price?
It was merely being watched all the way by this Far North Queen.
Being stared at by such a peerless Snow Empress... This trade didn’t seem to be at a loss at all.
Lin Qingmo smiled calmly: "Fine."
"With Your ExcellencySnow Empress personally leading the way, that is the honor of Lin."
Snow Empress ignored his polite words.
"Let’s go."
The deepest part of the core of the Far North.
A huge strait like a natural chasm spanned before their eyes, directly cutting off the continuous ice sheet.
The ice layer broke abruptly here, and below was the deep, secluded blue seawater.
The wind and snow here were not as violent as the outer perimeter.
Instead, the bone-chilling cold between heaven and earth doubled.
Snow Empress stopped at the edge of the strait.
A suit of white clothes better than snow, the gorgeous cloak behind her condensed from countless fine ice crystals fluttered slowly with the biting cold wind.
No extra emotions could be seen on her peerlessly beautiful face.
"I can only escort you this far."
Snow Empress’s cold voice drifted in the wind, ethereal in tone.
"Crossing this strait means leaving the territory of the Far North."
Lin Qingmo clasped his hands: "Thank you, Snow Empress, for escorting us all the way."
"I, Lin, will remember this favor."
The lines were spoken cleanly and neatly, and how much sincerity was in them was unknown.
Da Ming’s huge Azure Bull Python body had already entered the sea, its cyan scales shimmering faintly in the cold seawater.
Everyone leaped down, landing steadily on the wide python back.
Splashes surged!
Da Ming swung its huge snake tail, breaking through the bone-chilling ice water, and sped away toward the junction of sea and sky.
Just shortly after they left.
The wind and snow behind were forcibly torn open a huge gap by a violent brute force.
Ice Empress arrived.
Her dreamy giant scorpion body intertwined with ice blue and emerald green, carrying extremely oppressive coercion, rushed directly to the edge of the strait.
At the end of vision.
The waves stirred up by the Azure Bull Python on the sea had already subsided, and there was long no trace of that group of people.
"Bang!"
The emerald-green tail stinger fiercely stabbed into the ice surface beneath her feet, forcefully smashing out a long and deep crack.
"Xue’er!"
Ice Empress was extremely unwilling: "Did you actually let them go?"
Snow Empressstill had her back to her.
Her gaze kept watching the direction of the end of the strait, not saying a word.
Ice Empress paced back and forth anxiously on the ice surface.
Her dual claws collided forcefully together, making a crisp clicking sound.
"You also sensed the power inside that human’s body at that time!"
"It’s extremely powerful, and it instinctively makes me feel terrified."
"Most importantly, he is a human!"
Ice Empress’s tone raised.
"A human, well-versed in the details of the Far North, knowing the existence of you and me, and even able to suppress A-Tai."
"If we don’t take the opportunity to get rid of him today, once his wings are full in the future, he will definitely be a major hazard to the Far North!"
The cold wind howled.
Heaven and earth were dead silent.
Until Ice Empress’s emotions were vented almost enough.
Snow Empress’s ethereal voice drifted over unhurriedly.
"Bing’er, what do you think is the reason I let them go?"
Ice Empress was stunned on the spot.
She thought Snow Empress was wary of those Ferocious Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest and didn’t want to trigger an endless war in the Far North.
Could there be other hidden reasons?
Snow Empress slowly turned around.
Her snow-white long hair fluttered wildly in the wind.
That towering heavenly might belonging to the Far NorthSovereign was displayed vividly at this moment.
She looked down at Ice Empress from above.
"Those few in the Star Dou Great Forest are also Soul Beasts."
"But did you see it?"
"These Ferocious Beasts standing at the apex of the mainland Soul Beasts were actually willing to follow behind a human teenager."
"What do you think is standing behind him?"
"This..."
Ice Empress fell silent.
The original full of killing intent was mostly doused by these few sentences.
Right!
Why should the top Ferocious Beasts of Star Dou act as bodyguards for a human?
Unless, this human carried something that even Ferocious Beasts must look up to.
Snow Empress turned her head again, looking into the distance at the gradually blurring junction of sea and sky.
In her ice-blue eyes, which had always been calm like an ancient well, a trace of extremely faint fluctuation finally reflected.
"That child is very special."
"The bitter winter of the Far North is too long, and our path is also coming to an end."
"In the future, he might be able to help us."
The wind and snow gathered again, completely engulfing the figures of the two Far NorthSovereigns.
The Azure Bull Python pushed forward through the waves.
Its huge body was like a giant warship propelling at full speed, fiercely throwing off the violent wind and snow of the Far North behind it.
As it continuously headed south.
The seawater gradually changed from the bone-chilling ice blue back to normal dark blue.
The chill in the air was blown away by the gentle sea breeze, and the temperature had noticeably risen a lot.
Lin Qingmo, who was originally standing on Da Ming’s back with a straight posture and full of high-expert style, suddenly bent his knees.
With a "thud" sound, he sat heavily on Da Ming’s wide snake back.
The whole person was like a rusted machine whose screws were forcibly disassembled, collapsing limply on the spot.
He raised his neck and let out a long breath of white Qi.
"Hoo... I came out alive."
This exclamation came completely from the bottom of his heart.
In the core circle of the Far North, facing two extreme combat power Far NorthSovereigns directly, saying there was no pressure was definitely a lie.
The casualness just now relied entirely on a breath of air holding on.
If Snow Empress had the slightest thought of doing anything, this trip to the Far North today would definitely cost a layer of skin.
"Hehe."
A light chuckle came from beside him.
Zi Ji walked over with long, slender legs.
Her purplish-black dragon eyes glanced sideways at Lin Qingmo lying limply on the ground, her red lips curving slightly, and her tone revealed full of teasing.
"Yo, weren’t you acting quite capable in front of Snow Empress just now?"
Zi Ji imitated Lin Qingmo’s tone just now, pinching her voice in a Yin and Yang sarcastic tone.
"Thank you, Snow Empress, for escorting us all the way; this favor, I, Lin, will remember it~"
She chuckled out loud.
"What, you just left on the front foot, and on the back foot your true colors are exposed?"
Lin Qingmo supported himself with his hands behind him and rolled his eyes heavily.
When it came to bickering, he really had never been afraid of anyone.
"Lord Zi Ji, how do you have the nerve to talk about me?"
Lin Qingmo also deliberately prolonged his tone: "I was the one facing the cold wind of the Far North, rushing to the front to negotiate."
"Just when Ice Empress and Snow Empress first appeared earlier, some Dark Dragon King adult’s breathing seemed to have stopped, right?"
"How do I remember someone hiding behind Lord Bi Ji not even daring to take a big breath?"
The smile on Zi Ji’s face directly vanished.
A crystal-clear ear tip climbed with a blush at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The dignified Hell Demon Dragon King, the top combat power of the Star Dou Great Forest, was exposed on the spot, and her face truly couldn’t hold up.
"Bullshit!"
Zi Ji put her hands on her hips, forcibly saving face.
"I... I did that for the sake of the overall situation!"
"Right! The enemy is strong and we are weak, on someone else’s territory, that is what I call tactical silence!"
"As long as I don’t speak, it won’t intensify the conflict. This is a game of top powerhouses, what the Hell do you know!"
