CRACK-CRACK-CRACK!
As Chief Overseer Xuan Bing strode across the threshold of the Abyssal Frost Core at the head of his 2,000 Elite Frost-Law Enforcers. His Rank 8 Early Star-Lord cultivation flared without restraint, rolling a wave of dark-blue glacial frost across the outer bluestone tiles!
Xuan Bing was a tall, hawk-nosed man with frost-gray eyebrows and a heavy black judicial halberd strapped to his back. As Warden Tianfa’s sworn brother. Moreover, The second-highest authority in the central fortress, he had been meditating in the upper spire when the negative energy feed from the Thirty-Six Broken-Family Chains suddenly cut off.
Expecting to find an army of desperate old remnants from Empress Luo Qingxue’s former Dynasty soaked in their own blood at the foot of the pillar. Xuan Bing swept his cold, arrogant gaze toward the center of the cavern—and froze in his tracks.
The thirty-six unbreakable black chains were completely gone.
The four Rank 7 Peak Frost-Pillar Executioners were stacked neatly against the East wall like four unconscious pancakes with a 50,000,000 Spirit Stone invoice tucked into each breastplate.
And right at the base of the flower-covered Ten-Thousand-Year Frost Pillar, sitting around a steaming, thirty-foot brass nine-grid hotpot cart. Were a man in a white mortal chef’s apron, three elderly retainers, five rosy-cheeked children in miniature chef hats. Empress Luo Qingxue wrapped in a fluffy red-and-white fox-fur cloak with Little Red Flower stickers on her collar!
