A man clad in cyan suddenly appeared before his eyes. Although he had the appearance of a youth in his twenties, he spoke with an extremely seasoned tone, as if he regarded himself as an elder.
But that was not the most important thing. What was important was that the cyan-clad man had casually caught the Snow Demon's full-powered strike with just one hand. Then, he turned to look at Jiang Ce with an expression of calm confidence, utterly unfazed.
"You...?"
At the man's words, Jiang Ce was still too stunned to react. The cyan-clad man chuckled and explained, "That's right, I've come from the Empress's Underground Palace in East Sea City! Kid, you're quite lucky to have sparked some interest from the Empress herself! It's frustrating, isn't it? Why can't I have your good fortune?"
Hearing the man's response, Jiang Ce immediately understood. This was yet another helper sent by Huangfu Ning. A wave of gratitude washed over him, mixed with a growing sense of indebtedness.
