Yong Xiaobo's mentality almost collapsed upon seeing his soldiers dying one by one. Coupled with the despair cries, he felt that he had to make a decision right now.
Every single breath of this vicious battle between the humans and these mad profound beasts was incomparably violent and terrible. This snow region that had remained white for countless years had long ago been completely soaked in scarlet blood and the icy-cold wind carried along a stench of blood that was so acrid that it made one feel nauseous.
Even though they were laying down their lives in this struggle, the only thing they had bought with this bitter price was death and doom that inched ever closer to them. The final barrier was also shuddering as it teetered on the verge of collapse.
Once all the barriers had been shattered, this enormous tide of profound beasts would surge into this city, and one could well imagine what scenes would unravel within it.
"Everyone falls back to the barrier!" Yong Xiaobo shouted, and thousands of practitioners quickly retreated into the barrier one after another. Those with slower reactions were immediately torn apart by the profound beasts upon turning their backs toward them.
"Listen to me! This is our last chance! We will use everything we have to enhance the barrier. Once the outer layer is shattered, all of you can escape at will. I won't hold any account with you." Yong Xiaobo shouted loudly and took a step forward. Instantly, he appeared at the frontmost line and released his profound energy to enhance the barrier.
"City Lord, you should go first! We will hold them back for a while." Several soldiers were moved by Yong Xiaobo's words. They couldn't help urging him to flee from this place.
"Silence! My root is here! My family has been living in this city since the first generation. Even if I die, I will also die in this Ice Threading City! If you have the energy, come and help me! Otherwise, all of you should start running now!" Yong Xiaobo roared and sent a profound light to kill a few profound beasts outside the barrier.
Boom! Boom!
Countless profound beasts were frantically attacking the barrier as though their lives were on the line. Their fierce crimson eyes stared at these humans in front of them angrily. They couldn't wait to tear these fragile humans apart and enjoy the feast to the fullest.
Time passed by. Every minute was like a year for everyone here. Some had already exhausted everything and died on the spot, while a large group of the practitioners began to flee from the scene. As a result, the barrier gradually weakened. Some parts of it started to shake and could crumble at any moment.
Just as everyone was giving up, a powerful aura suddenly spread out from the sky as an icy blue light flashed across the horizon, accompanied by a bone-chilling blizzard to storm over the flocking profound beasts.
Yong Xiaobo and Cao Jing were stunned, and their head jerked toward the sky. They couldn't be more familiar with this aura. It was the Frozen Moon Palace's aura!
"It's the Frozen Moon Palace! It's the Frozen Moon Palace!!"
As hoarse and excited shouts which tore from everyone's throats filled the air, several beautiful figures descended from the sky like fairies coming down from heaven. The leading was a gorgeous woman with no emotion contained in her eyes. Her face was cold and icy enough to freeze everything. If Yun Lintian was here, he would recognize her immediately. She was the one who he met outside of the Frozen Moon Mythical Realm, Han Lou!
"Quick! Open the barrier!" Yong Xiaobo came back to his sense and shouted.
A gap appeared in the last two protective barriers. Several figures behind Han Lou immediately shot forward and went straight to the profound beasts frozen into ice sculptures.
p
Boom! Boom!
Countless ice particles filled the air as the frozen profound beasts shattered into pieces by the overwhelming power of the Frozen Moon Palace disciples.
This scene caused an uproar among the crowd. They let out a cheerful cry to reverberate throughout the entire city. The despair they had previously had been swept away completely.
With the morale rising, the practitioners who had some energy left immediately took the initiative to rush out of the barrier and began to slaughter the profound beasts excitedly.
"Yong Xiaobo greets Elder Han. I sincerely thank you for extending your hand to help us." Yong Xiaobo bowed his head toward Han Lou respectfully.
Han Lou nodded gently and said. "I'm sorry, we are late."
Yong Xiaobo said solemnly. "This is not your fault, Elder Han. We all know how busy the Frozen Moon Palace is in the current situation. We are hoping to share burdens with you, but we have failed miserably and even become a burden ourselves. It was me who should apologize to you."
Han Lou took a deep look at Yong Xiaobo and asked. "Have you found the traitor?"
Hearing this, Yong Xiaobo's expression became solemn. "We found it. He is the head of the Liang family in our city. Unfortunately, before I could capture him, he had already fled a long time ago. I believe there should be other traitors around me, but I am too incompetent to find them. I hope Elder Han could lend me a hand."
Han Lou thought for a moment and said. "To tell you the truth, we are lacking manpower right now. It's unlikely that we can help you."
Yong Xiaobo took a deep breath and said helplessly. "I understand."
Bang!
All of a sudden, a man figure fell from the sky and landed on the ground beside Yong Xiaobo, causing him, Cao Jing, and Han Lou to be startled for a moment.
"This…Laing Qian!?" Yong Xiaobo was shocked because this person was no other than the head of the Liang family, Liang Qian. "How could he… didn't he already escape?"
On the side, Han Lou raised her head to look at the sky and saw a figure in black floating there. This person seemed to be a woman, and without a doubt, she was the one who threw Liang Qian down.
"You are…?" Before Han Lou could finish her sentence, she suddenly raised her hand to catch an object flying toward her. She then discovered it was a jade slip with several names engraved.
On the side, Cao Jing inadvertently glanced at the names on the jade slip and hurriedly said. "They seem to be the manor servants' names!"
"They are the traitors you are looking for." A cold female voice resounded from the figure in black.
Han Lou looked at her and said. "Thank you for helping us."
The figure in black said nothing more and immediately turned into a shadowy figure, disappearing from the scene.
