Everyone turned to Meng Zhi with nervous expressions on their faces.
The fates of An Lin and the others were in Meng Zhi's hands to a very large extent. Thankfully, the Great Empress wasn't the type of person to start a fight right from the get-go. Otherwise, An Lin and the others would be in dire straits.
From the Great Empress' perspective, An Lin was definitely an enemy of the snow maidens. He was the type of enemy that she would want to kill as soon as she discovered him. However, Meng Zhi didn't seem to harbor any enmity toward them, which was quite perplexing to the Great Empress.
It was also because of this that the Great Empress calmed down and tried to figure out what was going on.
An Lin and the others could only pray that Meng Zhi would tell them the truth and not twist the truth. If she could tell them that they had teamed up against the enemy, then they would have a sliver of a chance to escape.
If a battle really did break out, they would be the cowards.
Dongfang Zhuangshi was a Dao Integration Stage mythological beast, but he was only a half-dead one. In terms of combat prowess, he was only slightly more powerful than a mighty figure at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage.
If the Great Empress really did attack, then they would be in a very dangerous situation.
Unless the middle-aged man suddenly made a breakthrough, it would be very difficult for them to even escape, let alone defeat the Great Empress.
Meng Zhi paused momentarily before speaking in a calm voice, "At the time, I was battling the Ghost Tribe mighty figure and was about to perish. However, they bravely stepped forward to save me from my perilous situation. "
An Lin's eyes widened. "???"
A faint blush appeared on Dongfang Zhuangshi's face.
Xu Xiaolan and the others were also dumbstruck.
Did they hear that right? Meng Zhi was saying that they bravely stepped forward to save her from her perilous situation?
Were they really that enthusiastic? It was clearly Dongfang Zhuangshi who had been sucked toward them for some reason before being forced to join them!
They really wanted Meng Zhi to tell the truth, but they didn't think that her words would be so touching …
However, the Great Empress wasn't easy to fool. She turned toward An Lin and the others before speaking in a cold voice, "I don't understand. Why did you save my tribe's High Priestess?"
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan both had a vendetta against the snow maidens. Even so, they still chose to help them. No matter how one looked at it, it was very strange!
An Lin's brows relaxed as he replied in a calm voice, "That's right, I don't like you snow maidens. However, the Dark Sorcery Ghost killed our good friend, the Divine Poison Frog, so we have to find an opportunity to kill it to avenge the Divine Poison Frog! "
Dongfang Zhuangshi, Xu Xiaolan, Xiaoze, Gluttony, and the Peerless Saber Demon all wore expressions of grief.
Ao Niu's tears flowed down its face upon hearing this, and it looked extremely nostalgic.
Who said that Honest Cow couldn't act? Whenever it thought about how the Divine Poison Frog had left just like that, an inexplicable sense of sorrow welled up in its heart. Its acting skills were top-notch, but it could also be said that it was acting for real …
"Divine Poison Frog?" The Female Monarch frowned.
Meng Zhi interjected, "I didn't know about that. I was wondering why An Lin and that middle-aged man were so enraged to battle the Dark Sorcery Ghost. So it was because of that."
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend," Dongfang Zhuangshi chimed in.
The Female Monarch: "…"
The woman in the imperial robe swept her gaze over all of the living beings before settling on An Lin with a smile. "The Dark Sorcery Ghost is already in the past. Aren't you afraid that I'll attack you again?"
An Lin chuckled. "We have no intention of fighting, but if you want to fight, then let's fight."
"Big Sister, how about we just let this matter rest?" Meng Zhi interjected.
The Female Monarch looked at Meng Zhi with a hint of surprise before turning to An Lin and the others, only to find that their expressions remained unchanged.
She looked at An Lin with a meaningful expression before heaving a faint sigh. "So be it. Seeing as Meng Zhi was saved by you, let's call it a day. We'll still be enemies the next time we meet. "
"I'm glad to hear that." An Lin smiled.
"You're relieved that I let you go this time?" A hint of a smile appeared on the Female Monarch's face.
"No." An Lin shook his head. "I'm saying that we'll still be enemies the next time we meet. That's exactly what I was thinking as well. Thank goodness we've come to an agreement. "
The Female Monarch's smile stiffened.
Meng Zhi: "…"
Dongfang Zhuangshi: "…"
Xu Xiaolan looked at the man beside her with a serious expression. He was super handsome!
"Then you have to be careful next time, my enemy." The Female Monarch came to her senses and spoke in an indifferent voice.
"Alright, farewell." An Lin joined his hands in a salute with a smile. "Let's go!"
In the past, An Lin was a nobody, and the Female Monarch wasn't even interested in remembering his name. But now, the Female Monarch was referring to him as an enemy. This was a clear indication that An Lin's position in her heart had changed.
However, An Lin wasn't smug in the slightest. In fact, he felt extremely exhausted. However, he still had to maintain his composure so that the Female Monarch wouldn't think that he was a coward.
Roar!
The ten-thousand-foot-long black dragon carried An Lin and the others into the air before flying into the distance.
The Female Monarch didn't stop them, and they left in a carefree manner. Only An Lin and the others knew just how perilous the situation had been. If the conditions allowed it, they would have long thought of leaving.
The Female Monarch looked at the departing An Lin and the others with a curious expression. "Priestess, can you tell me why you let An Lin and the others go now?"
Meng Zhi faltered slightly upon hearing this before a wry smile appeared on her face.
This woman was the monarch of all snow maidens, so she wasn't going to be so easily fooled.
"An Lin is a Dragon Tribe mighty figure in disguise!" Meng Zhi finally replied.
"Very powerful?" The Female Monarch didn't scoff or disbelieve this. Instead, she was quite curious.
To be able to stand together with her and argue with her so calmly, if he was really an ordinary Soul Formation cultivator, then that would really be strange.
Meng Zhi's heart trembled slightly as she recalled the projection that stood at the pinnacle of the stars. "Very powerful … He's most likely a being at the Dao Integration Stage or above!"
The Female Monarch's expression shifted slightly before she nodded. "Even if his power has been sealed, there's still a limit to how much power he can unleash. There are simply too many variables, so there's no need to provoke him. You've done a good job."
Meng Zhi nodded in agreement. "We've made far too many enemies, and we really can't afford to provoke a mighty figure like An Lin …"
The Female Monarch fell silent.
Meng Zhi: "By the way, about this battle …"
"Ghost Emperor Po Jun has agreed to cede ten large cities and a hundred small cities as temporary refuge for us snow maidens," the Female Monarch replied.
"Isn't that too little? There's no way so many of us can live in such a small place!" Meng Zhi was a little concerned.
"Let's settle them down first. We'll think of a way to deal with the rest."
"It's fine as long as all of our brethren can survive …"
The Female Monarch turned toward the east, where there was a boundless expanse of snow and ice, as if something terrifying were brewing. "For the sake of our brethren, we have to be prepared to become demons at any moment. We … have no other choice. "
Tears welled up in Meng Zhi's eyes upon hearing this, but she nodded with a solemn expression. "Yes, I've already prepared to sacrifice myself!"
