93: Chapter 93 The Man Who Jumps Out of the River of Fate

Mu Qingci stayed by Di Tian's side, unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance in his heart.

It was not that he did not want to; the gap between the two sides was simply too vast.

If Snow Empress were present, she could still ensure Mu Qingci retreated unscathed; after all, having broken through the seventh heavenly tribulation, Snow Empress's strength was no longer what it once was.

Yet, as it happened, on the way here, Mu Qingci had not released Snow Empress from the Undead Semi-Plane in advance.

One could only say that fate was playing a trick on him; Mu Qingci, a person who was always meticulous, would actually commit such a low-level error.

Di Tian took Mu Qingci and began spatial travel.

A few minutes later.

When the scene appeared before Mu Qingci's eyes again, he was already at the very center of the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Lake of Life, the place where the Beast Kings lived.

An extremely rich aura of life permeated every corner of the air here.

Being here, Mu Qingci felt his body undergoing the baptism of life's aura every moment, just like the Blade of Living Beings within his spiritual sea.

"This place is truly extraordinary!" This was the first thought in Mu Qingci's mind.

"Di Tian, is this the human brat who has been causing the Emperor Auspicious Beast to have nightmares?"

A burly man draped in dark gold fur walked up to Mu Qingci, looking at him with an unkind expression.

The burly man raised his broad palm and slapped down.

Xiong Jun's action was not intended to kill Mu Qingci, but merely to give him a show of force so that he would be more honest when answering questions later and reveal more useful information.

After all, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the Emperor Auspicious Beast, was simply too important to the Star Dou Great Forest; its importance even surpassed that of him, Xiong Jun.

Therefore, Di Tian did not stop Xiong Jun's action.

Facing Xiong Jun's slap, how could Mu Qingci sit still and wait for death?

He condensed Ultimate Ice on his left hand and used one of the Spirit Abilities of the ice empresss left arm bone: Wrath of the Ice Emperor.

"Boom."

Originally, after sensing that Mu Qingci's cultivation was that of a Spirit Emperor, Xiong Jun had only used power equivalent to that of a human Spirit Douluo, thinking to give a show of force without killing Mu Qingci.

However, this sudden counterattack from Mu Qingci caught Xiong Jun off guard.

His slap not only failed to give Mu Qingci a show of force but instead resulted in his own left hand being frozen by the Ultimate Ice.

However, with Mu Qingci's current strength, even using the Spirit Ability of the ice empresss left arm bone, he could not break through Xiong Jun's defense; he had merely succeeded in blocking Xiong Jun's attack.

"Oh, interesting. Come again!" Seeing that a small human Spirit Emperor had actually blocked his attack, Xiong Jun immediately became interested.

The way he looked at Mu Qingci was like looking at a fun toy.

Just as he prepared to strike again, he was stopped by Di Tian.

Di Tian looked at Mu Qingci and spoke for the first time: "Is your left arm bone from the Ice Empress?"

Once Di Tian said this, the other Beast Gods also realized it, especially Xiong Jun.

He had just received Mu Qingci's attack head-on and felt the ice empresss left arm bone most deeply.

It seemed to really be the Ice Empress's aura?

After all, they were all Beast Gods who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, so they naturally knew of other famous Beast Gods.

They certainly knew the reputation of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North.

Therefore, under Di Tian's reminder, they also sensed the Ice Empress's aura from Mu Qingci's left arm bone.

They looked at Mu Qingci, wanting to know why Mu Qingci would have the Ice Empress's spirit ring.

After all, they did not believe that a Spirit Emperor could have the ability to kill the Ice Empress.

Mu Qingci nodded: "It is indeed from Senior Ice Empress."

Afterward, a spatial rift opened beside Mu Qingci, and Snow Empress's beautiful figure walked out from it.

"Di Tian, is this how impolite you all are in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

??? Three question marks appeared on the foreheads of all the Beast Gods simultaneously.

Was the woman before them, with hair as white as snow and an ethereal, fairy-like presence, not the Ice Heaven Snow Woman, the leader of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, Snow Empress?

Mu Qingci breathed a sigh of relief; with Snow Empress present, at least his life was safe.

"Hmph, Snow Empress, since when did you in the Far North get mixed up with humans?" Facing Snow Empress, Xiong Jun mocked without hesitation.

In his memory, Snow Empress only had cultivation of over six hundred thousand years and still had old injuries.

This was not the Far North, and Snow Empress could not exert her full strength; therefore, Xiong Jun was not afraid of her at all.

After all, in the entire Star Dou Great Forest, in terms of combat power, Di Tian ranked first, and Xiong Jun was the undisputed second.

Looking at Xiong Jun, who was provoking her, Snow Empress let out a cold snort.

A terrifying, ultimate pressure radiated out, enveloping Xiong Jun.

Xiong Jun only felt as if he were being pressed down by a great mountain, unable to move.

He had only ever felt this kind of terrifying pressure from Di Tian.

Now, before Snow Empress, Xiong Jun was equivalent to a level 98 Super Douluo facing a level 99 Limit Douluo; although there was only a one-level difference, the strength was worlds apart.

Snow Empress's action also let the other Beast Gods see her strength.

"You broke through?" Di Tian's expression was as gloomy as water.

The original Snow Empress, with six hundred and ninety thousand years of cultivation and injuries, would certainly not have been able to suppress Xiong Jun so easily.

Therefore, there was only one possibility: she had broken through.

A look of disdain appeared on Snow Empress's cold face: "So what if I did, and so what if I didn't? I am Qingci's Dao Protector. If you want to touch him, ask me first."

Her tone was not particularly agitated, yet it carried an air of authority that did not require anger to be intimidating.

"Hmph, Dao Protector, the Far North is really going backward! You, the dignified leader of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, Snow Empress, are actually acting as a Dao Protector for a human? How ridiculous!"

Although Xiong Jun was currently being suppressed, he still clamored on.

However, Di Tian did not mock Snow Empress's behavior but instead fell into deep thought.

He looked at the Emperor Auspicious Beast: "Emperor Auspicious Beast, was everything you said back then true?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion curiously leaned in; after all, Snow Empress was also a Spirit Beast, and she would never harm the Emperor Auspicious Beast.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at Mu Qingci. For some reason, after Mu Qingci arrived here, the sense of unease in its heart instantly dissipated.

It was as if the human before it brought it an immense sense of security.

The Emperor Auspicious Beast looked at Di Tian: "Di Tian, I have reconfirmed it. I truly cannot sense a single shred of the power of fate on him; it is as if he is someone who has jumped out of the River of Fate."

Hearing the Emperor Auspicious Beast say this, Mu Qingci knew he had gained another bargaining chip.

He could not pretend not to know, or rather, not understand; instead, he should pretend to be very knowledgeable.

Whether he could fool these Beast Gods before him would depend on his acting skills from here on.

Di Tian nodded: "In that case, the cooperation between the Far North and this human seems less difficult to understand. However, I am very curious; to be able to have you, Snow Empress, serve as a Dao Protector, what kind of use has this human actually provided?"
