"At least two hours are needed, I hope there’s still time!" Han Siqu said in a deep voice, "Don’t waste time, follow me!"

The group responded and dared not delay for a moment, quickly following Han Siqu back toward the Ice Lake.

Han Jing and Lan Ling were busy dealing with the ghost spirits that were about to overflow, completely unaware of Xiao Xue sneaking up from behind.

Xiao Xue stood before the icy blue giant net, looked up, then reached out her hand. Her hand stayed on the ice net for a moment, then she passed through it.

Han Jing then noticed that Xiao Xue hadn’t left with the others, but had snuck back instead.

She couldn’t help but shout angrily, "Xiao Xue, what are you doing, get out!"

Xiao Xue found her mother’s voice frightening and didn’t dare to respond immediately. Instead, she quickly released all the spiritual insects she carried.

In an instant, hundreds of spiritual insects, blue and light purple, varying in shades, emerged, each buzzing like bees, charging towards the ghost spirits.

However, there were simply too many ghost spirits. The black mist column at the center of the Ice Lake gushed out ghost spirits as if from a spring. These ghost spirits appeared as visible black shadows, proving that their cultivation was not newly formed, but could span decades or even a hundred years.

So the spiritual insects released by Xiao Xue were soon overwhelmed by the tide of ghost spirits.

Han Jing was both anxious and angry. This maid running over at this time really made her worry. It would be fine if it were like the time at the bottom of Jingluo Lake, letting her follow didn’t matter. But now it’s different, if they really force out the Ghost King, it’s uncertain whether they’ll live or die! The words she’d spoken to Lian Xichen earlier, she was certain they must have been known by Su Yu, so it’s possible he came as well. And Lian Xichen’s lack of objection could prove Su Yu has arrived.

But she couldn’t be certain. Even if Su Yu came, they might not escape safely from the Ghost King. That’s why she brought out the Escape Jade her master gave her, just in case.

Yet who would’ve thought, this maid would cause trouble for her at this time, making Han Jing so anxious she could spit blood.

Even if she’s extraordinary and talented, she’s ultimately a child! Her attack might be strong enough, but her defense is far too lacking! How can she let her mess around in such a situation!

The ghost spirits were surging more and more, Lan Ling couldn’t spare his hands, needing to control the ice net to prevent them from escaping, leaving Xiao Xue unattended.

In desperation, Han Jing suddenly clenched her teeth and shouted loudly, "Su Yu—Su Yu—"

"Su Yu—if you’re here, you must come out quickly!"

"If you don’t come out, your daughter will lose her life!"

"Su Yu!!!" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Su Yu—come out quickly!"

Han Jing shouted one call after another, but contrary to her expectations, Su Yu did not appear. Her voice was almost broken, yet she still couldn’t see Su Yu’s shadow.

Could it be, she was really wrong? Su Yu didn’t come along?

But...

No, she can’t lose composure, she absolutely cannot panic at this moment.

She must let Xiao Xue out, with Xiao Xue’s skills, she definitely can get out. Brother and the others will realize Xiao Xue isn’t with them and rush back as fast as possible. There’s still time!
