Evil-deaf Nie Qiang snorted, "I've been defeated by you, I have nothing to say, don't even think about asking me anything!"
"You're stubborn as a mule!"
Lan Hua casually waved her hand, summoning a sealing talisman that was imprinted on Nie Qiang's lower abdomen, sealing his cultivation.
On the other side, Baxia swung his leg and slapped Nie Qiang across the face.
Although he has not transformed into a dragon, he possesses the peak cultivation of the Divine Refinement Realm, and even a single toe strike could cause considerable damage.
With one slap, Nie Qiang winced in pain.
Baxia then unleashed a barrage of kicks with all four legs, lashing out at Nie Qiang and causing him to see stars in pain.
Lan Hua and the others watched coldly, just as Nie Qiang was about to give up, when a figure flew in from the depths of the mountains.
The man was dressed in white and exuded an aura of extreme cold, colder than the snow and wind of Iceland.
"Hmm? Another person has arrived. This person's aura seems somewhat familiar!" Lan Hua exclaimed in surprise.
The newcomer landed about ten feet away from the group and asked warily, "Have you ever seen a villain with such an evil aura?"
Baxia stopped, tilted his head, and said, "Are you talking about this pig's head?"
Nie Qiang was beaten so badly by Baxia that he was almost unrecognizable. When he saw the newcomer, he was terrified.
The newcomer was startled and asked in surprise, "How did this person become like this?"
He then clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I am Du Hai, a native of Bingdao. This man has just trespassed into my territory and stolen my clan's treasure, the Ice Soul Stone!"
Yang Yuwei suddenly realized, "So that's why this person, after escaping from Sin Island, didn't hide properly but instead came back to steal other people's treasures. There must be some hidden story behind it!"
Du Hai stepped forward, unleashing a burst of power from his palm, and sucked a stone from Nie Qiang's arms.
The stone was as clear as jade, about the size of a thumb, and exuded an icy aura; it was clearly a valuable item.
After everyone got to know each other, Lan Hua said, "This person was originally a criminal on Sin Island who was sentenced to death, but he escaped from Sin Island for no reason and even came to Iceland to steal the Ice Soul Stone."
Brother Du, could there be some kind of conspiracy involved?
Du Hai nodded. "That's right, we should definitely ask them!"
Baxia clenched his fist again, and black flames ignited on it—it was dragon flame.
"Nie Qiang, I advise you to confess properly, or you'll be served fire!"
With a tearful face, Nie Qiang said urgently, "Everyone, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I've already signed a death pact. Once I utter the words, my primordial spirit will surely be destroyed!"
Crescent Moon let out a soft "Eh," then pointed a finger at Nie Qiang's brow.
As a beam of light entered, Crescent Moon frowned and slowly withdrew her hand.
Crescent Moon is a person from Lingzhou, belonging to the Seven-Colored Peacock Clan, so she is extremely familiar with the laws of contracts.
"Indeed, there is a contract mark on his primordial spirit. The contract of certain death mentioned earlier must be true!"
Lan Hua frowned, sensing that there might be some shocking conspiracy on Sin Island.
"It seems we need to make a trip to Sin Island. If what Miss Sheep said is true, that those condemned to death can never leave Sin Island, then there must be something fishy going on!"
Yang Yuwei said, "Sin Island has eighteen prisons, the first of which is the death penalty prison."
Anyone who enters the death row cell has their dantian destroyed.
If the expert is above the Dan Shen realm, their primordial spirit will be separated from their physical body, and the spirit will be allowed to dissipate in the prison.
"Therefore, many criminals sentenced to death would rather die in battle than return to Sin Island with the bounty hunters before being captured!"
Lan Hua nodded. "I see!"
Du Hai clasped his hands and said, "Since this person stole my clan's treasure, I need to take him back!"
Yang Yuwei said, "This person has committed heinous crimes and should be handed over to Sin Island for punishment. Please, Brother Du, let him go!"
“Miss Yang, I think we should just leave it at that. The situation on Sin Island is unclear right now. It would be better to let Brother Du take it back and deal with it!” Lan Hua said.
Du Hai said, "Don't worry, everyone. My clan has a place to detain criminals, and I guarantee that this person will never be able to leave!"
Upon hearing this, Nie Qiang trembled and looked distressed.
Just as Du Hai was about to leave, Lan Hua asked, "Brother, do you know Du Renjie?"
Du Hai stopped and asked, "You actually know Brother Du? We're both from the Ice Clan!"
Lan Hua was overjoyed. "Since we're already here, how can we not go and visit him? May we meet him?"
Du Hai hesitated for a moment, "Outsiders are not allowed to enter the Ice Clan's territory, but since you are Brother Du's friends, please come with me!"
With that, Du Hai picked up Nie Qiang and flew towards the depths of the mountains.
After wandering around in the mountains for less than half an hour, the group entered an underground palace.
This underground palace is different from others; it is entirely made of ice, and it is extremely cold inside.
Baxia shrank his head and said, "What kind of people are these? They insist on living in an ice cave. Aren't they afraid of turning into ice blocks if they fall asleep like that?"
Du Hai laughed and said, "Dragon Prince is joking. The Ice Clan has always been skilled in the Ice God Technique and is never afraid of the severe cold."
On the contrary, this frigid land is very beneficial to our spiritual practice!
Lan Hua, noticing that she hadn't encountered many people along the way, asked curiously, "Aren't there many people from the Ice Clan?"
"Yes, the Ice Clan has always been small, never exceeding a hundred people!"
After turning a corner, Du Hai said, "The ice room up ahead is where Brother Du Renjie lives. Since you are his friends, you can find him yourselves. I still need to escort this person to the ice pit!"
Lan Hua bowed respectfully, "Thank you for showing me the way!"
As soon as the group arrived at the entrance of the ice room, the large door made of ice slowly opened, looking extremely smooth.
A figure appeared at the doorway; it was Du Renjie, but his expression was rather grim, clearly indicating that he had used his Yuan Power.
"Brother Lan, Dragon Prince, what brings you to Iceland?" Du Renjie asked curiously.
Although he was in meditation, a wisp of his divine consciousness remained, which allowed him to easily sense the arrival of outsiders.
As for Nie Qiang, who stole the Ice Soul Stone, Du Renjie knew him very well, but knowing the abilities of his fellow Ice Clan members, he did not take action to capture him.
Lan Hua laughed and said, "It's been a year since I last saw you, and your cultivation has improved a lot. I can't even see through you anymore!"
Du Renjie said with a wry smile, "It's always been boring here; there's nothing to do but cultivate!"
"Unlike you, you have two beauties by your side. I am truly envious!"
The word "ah" was deliberately drawn out, and the sarcasm in it was perfectly clear to everyone.
Lan Hua deliberately ignored this remark and instead said, "You've kept your identity a secret quite well. I've known you for so long and only now did I find out you're from Iceland!"
Du Renjie said, "Iceland has always been a peaceful place, and very few people know about the Ice Clan. Please forgive us, Brother Lan."
By the way, why did you come to Iceland?
Yang Yuwei then recounted what had happened, and Du Renjie laughed after listening:
"Coincidentally, this Wang Mazi has trespassed into the Ice Clan's territory and has already been captured by our people."
They're currently being held in an ice pit; I'll have Du Hai bring them to you right away!
The group entered Du Renjie's ice chamber, which was divided into an outer chamber and an inner chamber. Although they did not enter the inner chamber, Lan Hua noticed that there was an ice coffin lying inside.
This was the ice coffin that Du Renjie always carried when he left.
When Lan Hua mentioned Nie Qiang, Du Renjie pondered and said:
"In that case, there is something strange about Sin Island. Everyone says that people on Sin Island are careful and cautious, so there should be no problem like this!"
Lan Hua nodded and said, "It seems we need to make a trip to Sin Island!"
