Ezekiel continued, "My father has already sent my uncle back from the strange relic for the Ice Soul Pearl. He should arrive soon."
"Tiernan!" His name quickly appeared in Devin's mind.
"He is Ezekiel's father, Amman's younger brother. He is Ezekiel's second uncle. His strength is extraordinary. He has reached the third level of the Fetus Refine Realm, second only to Amman. He is the second-best expert in the Loh family."
"Once Tiernan comes back, I am definitely no match for him."
Devin stopped walking forward when he thought of that. He lowered his head and thought deeply, appearing quite hesitant.
At that moment, Fade, who was hiding in the Ice Soul Pearl, injected his soul energy in a frenzy. That made the Ice Soul Pearl speed up suddenly and run along the channel.
It was because Fade knew that once Devin began to hesitate, it was virtually impossible for his provocation to be successful.
It was impossible for Devin to actually attack Ezekiel.
Therefore, he had to leave in a hurry when Devin was hesitating.
Sensing Fade's movement, Devin no longer hesitated. His face darkened and he chased after Fade.
Even though Ezekiel had injuries on his body, he also followed, maintaining a certain distance from Devin.
Although Fade activated the Ice Soul Pearl with all his strength, his speed was very fast.
However, since Devin was an Fetus Refine Realm expert, he was still continuously narrowing the distance between him and Fade.
Once he caught up, he could trap Fade in the Ice Soul Pearl.
As the distance between them closed, Devin was about to catch up with the Ice Soul Pearl. At that critical moment, a stream of Qi fell from the sky and rushed towards Devin with a large booming sound.
The force smashed through all the surrounding ice.
The energy surged from the stream of qi like waves.
Devin was obstructed by the explosion. Hence, he slowed down slightly.
"Who is it?"
Devin roared angrily. He was extremely exasperated.
However, two figures came out of the cloud of ice and snow and attacked Devin.
Upon a closer look, he found that they were none other than Talmon and Yarrow.
Devin was furious to see them. "Talmon and Yarrow, do you know what you are doing?"
Talmon's face wore no expression. He held a long sword in his hand as he spoke coldly, "I only know that the Gu family mustn't repay kindness with ingratitude."
"If you want to kill Fade, you will do that over my dead body."
Devin glared at Talmon furiously. "You're courting death."
A long sword appeared in his hand. It was his Yuan Seal, the Meteor Sword.
"Get out of the way, or you'll die!"
Devin threatened him at last.
Talmon was unmoved. Instead, his eyes glowed with determination.
"Even if I die, I won't back down!"
"Then die!"
Devin was furious and shouted. The Meteor Sword flashed like lightning and launched toward Talmon.
Talmon raised his sword to parry the strike, but he was no match for Devin. With just one blow, his body was sent flying. Instantly, his body was covered in blood.
There was no need to discuss what happened to Yarrow. He was pushed away by the surging strength before he could even get close to Devin. Devin couldn't be bothered whether he had killed Talmon or not. Instead, Devin continued to chase after Fade.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
However, two more figures appeared and blocked Devin's way. They were Natalia and Evelyne.
"Get lost!"
Devin let out a furious roar.
Without another word, Natalia immediately took action. Dozens of talismans flew toward Devin, almost encasing him up.
However, the Meteor Sword in Devin's hand danced in the air, flashing and gleaming. It emitted countless rays of sword light that tore through Natalia's talismans.
Evelyne, who was hiding in a corner in preparation to launch a sneak attack, was discovered by Devin before she even got close to Devin. With a shake of his body, she was sent flying. She couldn't get close to him at all, let alone hurt him.
Just in a few moments, many bloody stains were already formed on Natalia and Evelyne's bodies. They looked very embarrassed.
Talmon, who had been sent flying, returned at some point. He was covered in blood, carrying a long sword that he used to hack at Devin.
This time, Devin really was angered.
His scarlet eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked at Talmon. With a slash of the Meteor Sword, a sharp deadly wave of sword Qi was sent toward Talmon.
Talmon tried to block it, but his sword Qi was directly cut off by the Meteor Sword. It rushed toward his chest.
Talmon had nowhere to hide; he was about to be struck.
At that crucial moment, Fade used the Ice Soul Pearl to release a wave of cold energy. It stopped Devin's sword Qi, barely allowing Talmon to avoid this fatal attack.
Because of that simple gesture, the distance Fade had worked so hard to put in between Devin and himself was quickly closed by Devin. Seeing that, Natalia's eyes took on a sharp gaze. She grabbed her granddaughter, Evelyne, and threw her towards the Ice Soul Pearl. At the same time, she shouted at Fade, "Take Evelyne and go!"
"But Master!" Fade caught Evelyne and stored her bloody body in the Ice Soul Pearl.
Natalia roared, "What are you so sentimental for? Can you call yourself a man?"
"Don't worry. I won't die."
After that, Natalia took out a green pill and stuffed it into her mouth.
Instantly, her aura became stronger and stronger, and the surrounding ice layer broke apart layer by layer.
Then, Natalia drew out a wooden sword. Light gathered around the wooden sword, which pulsated with strong waves of Qi.
Even Devin could sense it. His face fell, and he slowed down.
"Hurry up and leave!"
At the last moment, Natalia turned to Fade and shouted. Then, she swung her wooden sword downwards.
Fade gritted his teeth so hard that blood flowed out. He did not notice it at all.
Despite his rage and anguish, he was helpless.
It was because he knew that even if he went back, he wouldn't be able to defeat Devin with his current condition and strength. In fact, he would only put himself and Evelyne in the crossfire.
Therefore, although Fade was sad and reluctant, he still chose to infuse the last bit of his soul energy into the Ice Soul Pearl and controlled it to run away.
Evelyne was aware of her grandmother's situation as well. Her face was covered in tears. She was crying so hard that she couldn't speak.
A loud explosion filled the air.
The Ice Soul Pearl that was rapidly pulling away detected an incomparably powerful wave of energy coming from the air behind it in the ice tunnel. The entire ice path, the entire lake, and even the Frost Valley began to tremble violently.
Boom! Explosions sounded constantly. The ground was shaking and the strength sent the snow flying.
Violent explosions filled the air.
The terrifying change caused everyone who had left Frost Valley to be shocked, fearful, and curious.
After the violent explosions, the scene returned to its tranquil state. The entire place suddenly turned silent, as if nothing had happened.
For a full three minutes, only an odd shuffling sound could be heard in the deathly silence.
Then, the ice cracked open and two men emerged.
They were Devin and Ezekiel.
However, these two venerable Fetus Refine Realm practitioners were in a sorry state. Their clothes were ragged and their bodies were covered in blood. Evidently, they had suffered a severe blow.
After the two came out, they made a casual move.
The layer of ice beneath them parted and three more people were summoned from it. Their bodies were flung onto the ice.
The three of them were Natalia, Talmon, and Yarrow.
However, the three of them were lying on the ice without any movement. No one could tell whether they were dead or alive.
Devin and Ezekiel, who were in a ragged state, looked in the direction of the ice tunnel. Their faces were gloomy and very ugly.
"Let that brat escape." Devin clenched his teeth and said.
Ezekiel said in a deep voice, "He's bound to die."
"That's the direction of the strange relic. The top masters of all forces are there, waiting for the core area of the relic to open. If that guy goes in, he'll
die."
After that, Ezekiel looked at the three people on the ice surface and asked Devin, "What do you want to do with them?"
Devin was slightly hesitant. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "I want Talmon and Yarrow. After all, they are from the Gu family."
"Sure! Then Natalia belongs to me," Ezekiel said.
Then, Devin put Talmon's and Yarrow's bodies away with a wave and left quickly.
Ezekiel also left with the unconscious Natalia.
As the two left, news began to spread throughout the entire South Yan City.
Soon, all of the residents of South Yan City knew about it.
Ezekiel and Devin, the two venerable masters, had failed to catch Fade and allowed him to escape.
Among Fade's four accomplices, only three were caught in the end. Evelyne and Fade escaped together.
Everyone couldn't stop discussing the matter. Many varying opinions were formed during the conversations.
Some placed a lot of emphasis on the role of the Ice Soul Pearl, saying that Fade had relied on the Ice Soul Pearl to fend off the attacks of the two
venerable masters and escape.
There were others who said that
Devin and Ezekiel each had their own sinister motives. They looked like they were working together, but in reality, they each had their own thoughts. There were even some who speculated that the two had battled with each other, and that was why Fade managed to flee. Content belongs to

actually Natalia's illegitimate pet
In short, all kinds of rumors kept popping up.
At the moment, Fade and Evelyne were running through the forest. They didn't know of those things nor did they have the mood to pay attention to
them.
Not long after they rushed into the forest, Fade's soul energy was exhausted. They exited the Ice Soul Pearl, found a stream, and cleaned
themselves up.
Then, Fade found some useful herbs in the forest to make some medicine.
Some herbs could relieve injuries, some could help recover, and some could conceal their qi.
When night fell, they found a cave, hid inside, and sealed the entrance, ready to rest for the night.
In the mountain cave, Fade looked at the bloodstained Evelyne. She was hugging her knees without saying a word. He wore a sorry expression as he said, "I'm sorry. I'm the one who got you and Master into trouble. Once I've recovered, I'll go back and
fight them-" Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Before Fade could finish his sentence, Evelyne raised her head. She sent a slap across Fade's face.
"Evelyne Fade looked at Evelyne in astonishment.
