"What are you doing?" The Snow Demon suddenly appeared at the door, looking extremely grim.
Yaohua cursed inwardly. It was obvious that Zhao Jun was the Snow Demon's captive, yet he had escaped because of her.
The Snow Demon already disliked her, and now he would surely kill her.
Thankfully, the Snow Demon didn't attack immediately. Instead, he picked up Zhao Jun's head and put it back on his body. Then, he summoned the power of ice and snow in his hand.
Soon, Zhao Jun opened his eyes again. At first, he looked a bit excited, but when he saw the Snow Demon in front of him, his face fell.
Yaohua quickly said, "My lord Snow Demon, it was this Heavenly Demon who bewitched me that made me let him go!"
But Zhao Jun exclaimed in shock, "Well, Yaohua, you were the one crying and begging me to help you escape, but now you've betrayed me."
Yaohua was speechless. "When did I ever beg you?"
The Snow Demon interrupted their argument impatiently. "Don't let this happen again."
Taking the opportunity, Zhao Jun incited, "My lord Snow Demon, kill her quickly. There's a spiritual fluctuation from the sword in her hand. If you don't kill her soon, she'll kill you."
Hearing this, the Snow Demon looked at Yaohua and snatched the sword.
After inspecting it, he threw the sword on the ground with a disdainful expression, clearly not regarding the little spiritual power in it.
Yaohua was nervous. "A mere sword is no match for my lord Snow Demon. I'm not so over - confident."
Zhao Jun retorted, "Everyone says that killing the Snow Demon is the way to leave the ice field. If you didn't have such thoughts, why did you come to this palace?"
While they were arguing, the Snow Demon said impatiently, "Shut up!"
He apparently believed Zhao Jun more. He raised his hand and whipped out two whips made of wind and snow towards Yaohua.
These whips carried spiritual power. If Yaohua was hit, her face would be ruined.
She wanted to dodge, but she was immobilized by the Snow Demon and could only glare angrily at Zhao Jun.
"Long time no see!" A voice suddenly came from the beam.
Fairy Ziying leaped down and grabbed the Snow Demon's hem, immediately shivering from the cold.
The Snow Demon's attention was immediately diverted. "You are..."
The two whips of wind and snow froze in front of Yaohua's face. She swallowed hard and was extremely grateful to Fairy Ziying at this moment.
The Snow Demon frowned, trying to recognize Fairy Ziying. "Do we know each other?"
The latter laughed. "The world is vast. Meeting is fate. Whether you remember or not, what does it matter?"
Yaohua felt a bit embarrassed. She had really thought that Fairy Ziying knew the Snow Demon, but now it seemed that this guy was just bluffing!
"Remember... I've indeed forgotten a lot of things." The Snow Demon shook his head vigorously.
Fairy Ziying looked at the demonic energy on his hand and said with concern, "That Heavenly Demon wants to harm you."
"He's just a minor demon." The Snow Demon didn't care. "Since you're my old acquaintance, you should know how eager I am to leave the ice field."
Fairy Ziying raised her eyebrows. "You mean he knows the way for you to leave the ice field?"
"Of course!" The Snow Demon nodded. "As long as I complete this formation, the Heavenly Demon Clan will help me leave."
Saying this, he took out a scroll from his bosom.
Fairy Ziying looked at the scroll carefully, and her expression became more and more solemn. "The Heavenly Demon Clan is extremely cunning. I'm afraid this formation won't help you break free."
At this time, Zhao Jun quickly defended himself. "My lord Snow Demon, now that I've been captured by you, the other Heavenly Demons are on standby. As long as the formation is completed, we will surely help you break free."
The Snow Demon asked suspiciously, "You came to me on your own initiative, begging me to take you out of the ice field. Do you have other motives?"
Zhao Jun shook his head like a rattle. "Of course not! We've been trapped in the ice field for many years. We're just hoping that you'll take us with you after you leave!"
The Snow Demon nodded and said to Fairy Ziying, "You've heard it. These ants just want to rely on me."
After saying that, he was about to put away the scroll. "Now, only the last step of the formation is left. In three days, I'll be able to leave the ice field!"
Zhao Jun showed a somewhat strange smile. "My lord Snow Demon, I remember that the last step of the formation requires a phoenix bone."
"Really?" The Snow Demon asked doubtfully.
Zhao Jun confidently took the scroll and spat out a large mass of demonic energy.
As the demonic energy surged, the shape of the scroll gradually changed, and the patterns on it also changed accordingly.
"A large amount of ore, phoenix bone, phoenix blood..." The Snow Demon mused.
Yaohua was stunned. "How can you believe him so easily? This scroll is activated by his demonic energy. He can change it as he wishes."
She could see that the Snow Demon was just a naive fool who would believe anyone.
And Zhao Jun was clearly taking the opportunity to take revenge.
The Snow Demon was dissatisfied with her attitude. "Sparing your life is already a great kindness. Don't slander wantonly. If you can help me leave the ice field, I'll also give you some benefits."
After saying that, he reached out his hand, and Yaohua was immediately controlled by the power of ice and snow and involuntarily came to his side.
He was about to extract her bones and blood as materials for his formation!
Fairy Ziying frowned tightly. "Wait!"
"Are you going to stop me?" The Snow Demon's eyes were full of vigilance.
Fairy Ziying said slowly, "I just think there are still some doubts about this matter... How about letting the Heavenly Demon come and explain it to you?"
The Snow Demon was a bit impatient but didn't lose his temper because of his trust. "There's no formation in the ice field that can kill me. If they have ulterior motives and deceive me, they'll only end up dead. They're not that stupid."
Yaohua's limbs were restrained and she couldn't move, but she didn't want to sit back and wait for death. "But it's not only you who has an immortal body. The Heavenly Demons can also! Moreover, the royal family of the Heavenly Demons can use their demonic energy to give birth to new Heavenly Demons."
The Snow Demon looked at Zhao Jun again.
Zhao Jun looked innocent. "What are you talking about? My lord Snow Demon is the master of the ice field. How dare we scheme against him? Fine, if you're suspicious, then return the formation to me. This is an ancient formation left by our ancestors. If necessary, I'll find the materials and set up the formation to leave on my own."
The Snow Demon didn't say a word, but his grip on the scroll tightened. The demonic energy of the Heavenly Demon twirled around his fingertips.
Yaohua saw the murderous look in his eyes and thought it was bad. He was already eroded by the demonic energy, and now he would probably believe Zhao Jun even more.
Thankfully, before the Snow Demon took action, Fairy Ziying and Gu Songyue rushed back in a hurry.
When the Snow Demon saw Gu Songyue, his eyes showed confusion. "Have I seen this person before?"
Gu Songyue nodded. "I've met you several times, my lord. May I have a look at the scroll?"
The Snow Demon thought for a while. "Since you know me, you're an elder in the Heavenly Demon Clan. You can take a look."
After saying that, he handed out the scroll.
Gu Songyue looked at it for a while and said calmly, "This formation is called the Fiery Soul - Sealing Formation. Once the formation is set up, a raging fire will burn, and the souls of those in the formation will be sealed until their souls are completely destroyed and turned into a soul - sealing pill."
