"Do you gentlemen have business with me?"
Xiao Yi looked at the crowd gathering around him, his brow slightly furrowed.
"I just want to ask if the Swallowing Spirit Ice Whale Emperor has been captured by you," Mu Bing said in a deep voice.
Before Xiao Yi could speak,
Han Cang preempted him, "Kid, don’t even think about lying. Both Mu Bing and I saw it with our own eyes."
"The Swallowing Spirit Ice Whale Emperor, has been captured by you."
"And then what?" Xiao Yi asked in a deep voice.
"It’s nothing." Mu Bing shook his head slightly, his expression cold. "Just needed confirmation."
With that, Mu Bing turned and left.
Han Cang angrily said, "Mu Bing, what do you mean by ’it’s nothing’?"
Mu Bing did not answer, as he had already gone far away.
Han Cang turned his gaze to Xiao Yi, saying, "Kid, the Swallowing Spirit Ice Whale Emperor was pursued by the three of us together."
"How can you alone monopolize it."
"If you know what’s good for you..."
Han Cang had not yet finished speaking.
Suddenly, a sharp and chilling Divine Sword appeared out of nowhere.
"So what?" Xiao Yi, holding the Frost Sword, asked coldly.
Han Cang’s meaning was, in fact, quite clear.
Xiao Yi certainly would not be polite towards him.
"What, you want to fight with this young master?" Han Cang’s face turned colder.
"Do you really think your Sky-splitting Sword Sect can count for anything in the Extreme Cold Land?"
The nine Ice Palace Elders rushed to intervene, standing between Xiao Yi and Han Cang.
"Both of you, please, calm down," the Ice Palace Great Elder said gravely.
"The first round of the Ice Edge Conference, Ice Sea Fate, has ended."
"This matter can perhaps be discussed further once we return to Evernight City."
"There’s no need to fight here on the Extreme Cold Ice Sea and cause unnecessary ripples."
Upon hearing this, Han Cang furrowed his brow, pondered for a moment, and said in a cold voice, "Kid, I will settle the account with you later."
With that, he vanished with a flash.
"Hmph." Xiao Yi snorted coldly.
He clearly saw a flush of red on Han Cang’s face and noted that he was suppressing his injuries.
During the recent pursuit of the Swallowing Spirit Ice Whale Emperor, Han Cang had sustained considerable injuries.
Moreover, that powerful Secret Technique had also caused him quite a bit of backlash.
As one of the most renowned talents in the Extreme Cold Land, it was not surprising for Han Cang to execute such Secret Techniques.
But for him to have only the strength of the Heavenly Origin First Layer, yet burst forth with the combat power comparable to peak fighters like Mu Qingyun, was truly astonishing.
This was thanks to the extremely terrifying Cold Ice Aura deep within the Extreme Cold Ice Sea, which significantly enhanced the power of his Secret Techniques.
The degree of that Cold Ice Aura was such that even Xiao Yi, with his combat power, dared not claim to dive indefinitely within it or stay there for a long time.
Thus, one can only imagine its terror, probably even more fearsome than the Extreme Cold Gang Wind high in the sky.
Han Cang’s Secret Technique was similar to the ’Absorption Palm.’ He absorbed that Cold Ice Aura, which greatly increased his strength.
However, he also suffered not a light backlash from it.
This was the reason why he chose to stop and leave now.
But back to the main point.
Xiao Yi nodded towards the nine Ice Palace Elders as a form of greeting.
Then, with a flash, he returned to the shore of the Ice Sea.
"Xiao Yi, are you alright?" Bai Bingxue and the others had been waiting at the edge of the Ice Sea.
"I’m fine," Xiao Yi shook his head and smiled faintly.
"That’s good," Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief, clearly worried about Xiao Yi’s venture into the deep sea to chase the Swallowing Spirit Ice Whale Emperor.
Beside him, Zhong Wuyou pursed his lips and maintained a cold face, silent.
Ling Yu’s face also revealed slight concern, although she tried to hide it well, but Xiao Yi still noticed it.
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Let’s head back to Evernight City first."
