Hearing Xie Xiaofeng speak like that, the elder of the Snow Mountain Tribe immediately showed a stunned expression, his brows furrowed tightly.

He looked at Xie Xiaofeng with a skeptical gaze, then appeared thoughtful, pondering whether to believe the words of the Second Generation Nether King or this mysterious young stranger.

Although he harbored resentment towards the Second Generation Nether King, the Snow Mountain Tribe elder knew well that the Second Generation Nether King, like him, considered the ancient city extremely important, so he never doubted that the Second Generation Nether King would do anything harmful to the ancient city.

Therefore, the only concern of the Snow Mountain Tribe elder was whether the Second Generation Nether King might, as the young man said, really intend to use him to eliminate those who were a threat.

After a while, seeing that the Snow Mountain Tribe elder had not yet given an answer, Xie Xiaofeng became completely impatient.

"Give me a straight answer, do you want to join us in fighting against the Second Generation Nether King?"

A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the Snow Mountain Tribe elder as he asked, "Why should I believe what you say? What if you really are here to destroy the Glacier Heart?"

"Because I am standing right in front of you now!" Xie Xiaofeng said. "Don't think I don't know that if you and the young girls here were to die, the Glacier Heart would no longer be able to suppress the Volcano King's heart. If we really wanted to destroy the Glacier Heart, why not just kill you or these young girls!"

The Snow Mountain Tribe elder was startled, "How do you know about this?"

"If it wasn't the case, why would the Second Generation Nether King have kept you until now?" Xie Xiaofeng retorted, hitting the nail on the head with his words.

Just then, several tendrils of vine suddenly burst from the ground beside the Snow Mountain Tribe elder and wrapped around his neck.

Seeing this, the young girls below descended into panic, screaming.

"I could kill you right now with the greatest of ease!" said Xie Xiaofeng, then he withdrew the tendrils.

After coughing twice, the Snow Mountain Tribe elder nodded at Xie Xiaofeng: "Young man, I believe you!"

Suddenly, his eyes widened dramatically, his expression panicked, "This is bad, Tu Yi is probably fighting with your companion right now."

With that, he hurriedly walked down from the altar and ran to a young girl, saying anxiously, "Quick, go stop Tu Yi!"

This young girl, with delicate features like jade, was none other than the beloved of Tu Yi—Han Shuang.

"Elder!" Han Shuang's originally calm face broke into earnestness; it had been a long time since she heard that name. Even so, hearing it now stirred her emotions.

"Elder, what do you mean? What happened to Tu Yi?"

Inside the ancient city, the earthquake continued.

In the southern part of the city, the Second Generation Nether King found Ou Yuanlin.

At that moment, Ou Yuanlin was using the Tree Demon's power, stabilizing the countless roots beneath the city and thereby reducing the impact of the earthquake.

"You've worked hard!" the Second Generation Nether King said to Ou Yuanlin, having not expected that the one who caused the earthquake was Ou Yuanlin himself.

Ou Yuanlin opened his eyes, glanced at the Second Generation Nether King, then closed his eyes again and continued using the Tree Demon's power to control the roots below. He felt uneasy, knowing the Second Generation Nether King would soon start suspecting him.

After a quarter of an hour, due to Ou Yuanlin's efforts, the trembling of the ground finally stopped, and the sensation of the quake gradually faded.

"Very good!" praised the Second Generation Nether King, then turned his gaze to the surrounding architecturally distinct buildings. This earthquake had not caused them any significant damage—there was danger, but no harm done.

Ou Yuanlin opened his eyes and said to the Second Generation Nether King, "I will try to get more roots into the ground as soon as possible, to make this city even more stable and secure."

"Mm!" The Second Generation Nether King nodded slightly, looking very satisfied.

"Go and rest!"

After saying this, the Second Generation Nether King left. However, after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Ou Yuanlin with a question, "Ou Yuanlin, if more tree roots penetrate into the soil, would it mean that it would be extremely easy for you to destroy everything here?"

Ou Yuanlin's face immediately showed panic.

The Second Generation Nether King smiled and said, "But you wouldn't do that, destroying this place would be of no benefit to you, and you wouldn't be able to leave here unless you wanted to die."

Ou Yuanlin inwardly breathed a sigh of relief; he had almost thought the Second Generation Nether King had begun to suspect him.

"I like this place very much," Ou Yuanlin said. "This city is incredible!"

The Second Generation Nether King did not speak again but turned and left.

Watching the figure of the Second Generation Nether King disappear into the night, Ou Yuanlin's tense heart finally relaxed.

"I wonder how Xie Xiaofeng is doing?" Ou Yuanlin murmured as he looked at the ice sculpture building.

Soon after.

The Second Generation Nether King returned to the ice sculpture building from the southern part of the ancient city.

The moment his feet touched the rooftop, two sharp lights shot out from his eyes!

He had sensed that the two seals on the lower level had been unlocked.

Instantly, he teleported to the first floor of the ice sculpture building.

Smelling the Yang Energy lingering in the air from Xie Xiaofeng, he flew into a great rage.

"It's that youngster Xie Xiaofeng!" the Second Generation Nether King gritted his teeth and said with fury in his eyes, "His wood element spell from the Five Elements Spells can also control tree roots like Ou Yuanlin!"

As he prepared to go down to the temple, an elder from the Snow Mountain Tribe also happened to come up, nearly bumping into the Second Generation Nether King.

"Where are you going?" The Second Generation Nether King glared at the elder from the Snow Mountain Tribe.

"Just now, a youngster suddenly rushed in and abducted a maiden!" the elder from the Snow Mountain Tribe said, looking quite panicked.

Suddenly, the Second Generation Nether King's eyes narrowed fiercely.

"What did he abduct the maiden for?" the Second Generation Nether King asked.

"I think he wants to take the maiden to the south!" the elder from the Snow Mountain Tribe said.

The Second Generation Nether King shook his head, his tone very certain, "Impossible! He won't return to the south now."

In the view of the Second Generation Nether King, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Bodies were about to arrive at the ancient city, something Xie Xiaofeng also knew.

Therefore, Xie Xiaofeng would not hurry to leave Polar Ice Land right now but would wait for Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Bodies. Unless, after a long time, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Bodies failed to appear, having died on the way.

Thus, the Second Generation Nether King guessed that Xie Xiaofeng likely didn't want to be held hostage by him, and so he had taken a maiden and was now hiding around the ancient city until Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Bodies arrived.

"Now with one maiden less," the elder from the Snow Mountain Tribe continued, "I need to rush back to the tribe immediately to find another maiden, or else we won't be able to freeze the heart of the Volcano King."

The Second Generation Nether King looked at the elder from the Snow Mountain Tribe and hesitated for a long time before agreeing.

Then, the elder from the Snow Mountain Tribe left the ancient city, riding in a sled pulled by snow wolves.
