Wan Caimei was stunned.
She had never imagined that the most skilled illusion realm she had ever created could be broken by the Primordial Saintess in less than five minutes.
Moreover, with so many people on the streets of Tianxin City, the Saintess hadn’t concealed her icy aura at all.
She had practically unleashed a citywide ice seal without considering anyone else.
Was she insane?! Wasn’t she afraid of harming innocent people?!
Seeing that the Saintess had already locked onto her aura and was approaching, Wan Caimei hurriedly tried to escape.
However, the surrounding air seemed to solidify, leaving her powerless to move despite her desperate efforts.
Right before her eyes, the young man in white remained unaffected by the Primordial Saintess’s control. He was still running into the distance, carrying that box with him.
At that moment, Wan Caimei knew she could no longer catch up to him.
After all, a terrifying monster was approaching from behind, and she had already become the Primordial Saintess’s target!
“My Junior Disciple. Where is he?”
A girl’s icy voice rang out beside her ear.
Although the Primordial Saintess was still far away, she could transmit her voice across a thousand miles, interrogating Wan Caimei, who was frozen in midair.
Wan Caimei’s heart skipped a beat.
How was she supposed to know where the Saintess’s Junior Disciple was?
She had merely cast an Illusion Technique to deceive the eyes and ears of others. She genuinely had no idea how to answer!
Grinding her teeth, the seductive woman activated her demonic power and attempted to create another clone using the Illusion Technique to escape.
However, just as she was about to break free from the Saintess’s ice seal, a hand suddenly pressed down on her head and slammed her toward the ground—
Boom, rumble!
Before she could even scream, Wan Caimei was pinned beneath the silver-haired Saintess, her head forced down as her face was brutally smashed into the ground.
“Demoness, where did you hide my Junior Disciple?”
The Saintess’s voice remained icy, devoid of the slightest trace of emotion.
Pinned beneath her, Wan Caimei was terrified, yet she had no idea how to answer the Saintess’s question.
‘Junior Disciple?’
‘Who is this Junior Disciple?!’
‘I really don’t know, damn it!’
“You won’t speak?”
Behind her, An Lingran mobilized her Spiritual Energy once more.
Countless Ice Thorns instantly rose around her like the nine tails of a ten-thousand-year-old ice fox, all pointed at Wan Caimei as though they would pierce her body the very next second.
Wan Caimei’s expression stiffened, and her entire body trembled.
At this critical moment, she finally bit through a hidden mechanism deep inside her gums.
Buzz!
In the next instant, terrifying purple nether Demonic Qi erupted from beneath the silver-haired Saintess. The Illusion Technique barrier forcibly expanded, resisting the Saintess’s ice seal.
By the time An Lingran broke through the Illusion Technique once more, the seductive demoness she had subdued had already vanished.
“…”
After taking several deep breaths, An Lingran was truly furious.
Ever since breaking through the Illusion Technique in that secret room, she had noticed that no one from her sect was missing.
Her Junior Sister, Luo Qianning, was there as well, but her Junior Brother, He Qiu, was nowhere to be found!
Her Junior Brother must have been taken by that demoness!
Those damned Demon Cultivators had not only kidnapped Bai Muxue, the daughter of Tianxin City’s City Lord, but had now dared to target her, the Primordial Saintess, and abduct a genius youth from the Righteous Sects!
That was her fiancé!
How utterly lawless!
Rumble, rumble, rumble—!
She suddenly raised her hand toward the sky.
A ten-thousand-foot wave of ice answered its master’s call, surging out of the ground and shooting straight into the heavens.
Standing in place, the silver-haired girl clenched her fists tightly, the anger in her cold eyes growing ever more intense.
“Demoness, you dare steal my Junior Disciple. You will die today.”
Tianxin City, City Lord’s Mansion.
A pitch-black phantom appeared out of thin air, cutting down everything in its path as it barged into City Lord Bai Hong’s room.
“Old man, let’s negotiate.”
The black shadow sneered.
Bai Hong turned around, forcibly suppressing his anger.
He released his cultivation aura and shouted coldly,
“Are you the mastermind behind my daughter’s kidnapping?”
“Yes.”
“You finally came to negotiate… Heh. What do you want from Tianxin City in exchange for releasing my daughter?”
“Old man, you’re agreeing rather quickly.”
Seeing Bai Hong accept the negotiations without hesitation, the black shadow found it amusing.
He dragged over a table and plopped himself down on it.
He appeared completely at ease, as though everything was under his control.
On the other side, Bai Hong sighed helplessly.
“Your Demon Sect kidnapped my daughter without killing her, so you must want something from me. It’s simple enough to figure out.”
“That’s right. I want the [Tianxin Demon Crystal]. Will you hand it over?”
“What do you want that Demon Crystal for?”
“To cultivate.”
“Cultivate?”
“That’s right. I possess a peerless Cultivation Method that requires me to absorb the Demonic Qi from that [Tianxin Demon Crystal]!”
