Zhu Minglang followed the Winter God and continued to fly forward, while the gaze of the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon remained cautiously fixed on the rain.
In the black of night, visibility was extremely low. It hadn't taken him very long to deal with the Sea Ghost Emperor, just enough time to estimate the opponent's strength; however, in that short span, the others had vanished from sight, and even after pursuing for quite some time, he still couldn't see any sign of them.
"Could we have chased in the wrong direction?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"No, Goddess Qiuci left me some marks," the Winter God stated confidently.
"Right, there's something I've been meaning to ask you…" Zhu Minglang's voice trailed off, intentionally drawing the Winter God's attention.
At the same moment, Zhu Minglang had already released the Night Empress. In the dense night, she was like a wisp of a ghost, invisible to the naked eye...
"What is it?" the Winter God asked.
