Chapter 870: Chapter 870

Looking at the familiar faces all around and hearing their cheers, Logan pinched himself hard. Although it was so painful that he grimaced, the pain was quickly replaced by immense surprise.

"I’m not dead... I’m really not dead..."

Logan muttered to himself, the sound and image of his wife and children at home sprang to mind, and he couldn’t help but weep with joy, tears streaming down his face.

"Logan, you were very badly injured just now and had passed out. If it weren’t for this immortal from Huaxia who saved you, you would have really gone to heaven by now!"

Sun Hu introduced Fang Bai to Logan and then briefly recounted how Fang Bai had killed the wolf pack and treated Logan’s injuries.

"Sir, you saved my life, I truly can’t thank you enough!"

Logan stood up, intending to bow to Fang Bai in gratitude, but realized he was still naked and awkwardly crouched down again.

At that moment, a member of the scientific expedition team took a set of spare winter clothes from the snow vehicle and handed them to Logan. After putting them on, Logan earnestly expressed his thanks to Fang Bai.

Fang Bai then withdrew the Fire Primordial Qi he had released, and the temperature around him instantly plunged back to minus twenty-some degrees.

"Sir, may I ask where you are heading? We are on our way to the Antarctica International Scientific Research Station to carry out a scientific mission. How about we travel together?"

Sun Hu extended an invitation to Fang Bai, thinking that if Fang Bai agreed to accompany them, they wouldn’t have to worry about encountering any hazards on the road ahead.

In the past when they went to the International Scientific Research Station, it had always been smooth sailing, their biggest hurdle being the occasional violent storm. But they had never encountered any fierce creatures like the rare white wolves that had just assaulted them out of nowhere. If not for Fang Bai’s assistance, they would probably have become a feast for the wolves by now.

"I’m sorry, I have some personal matters to take care of and can’t accompany you,"

Fang Bai said with a smile, shaking his head.

"That’s a shame... that’s really too bad..."

Although Sun Hu was somewhat disappointed, he also knew that someone like Fang Bai, a unique and elusive individual, wouldn’t easily join others. The fact that he had appeared to help kill the wolves was alFind your next favorite novel on NovelHub today!

At this time, some members of the scientific expedition team walked over to the two overturned snow vehicles, sighing and looking troubled.

With over twenty people, they had six snow vehicles in total. Not only were these vehicles their means of transport to the International Scientific Research Station, but they also carried living supplies and scientific equipment. Now that two vehicles had overturned, they could only be temporarily abandoned there, which would significantly impact their scientific mission.

Moreover, each snow vehicle weighed several thousand pounds, so righting them was no easy task.

Seeing this, Fang Bai thought it best to help to the end, and walked over to the two overturned snow vehicles. To the amazement of Sun Hu and the others, he righted the vehicles one after another.

"Sun Hu, is it? Come over here a minute!"

Fang Bai dusted off some snow froth from his hands, then gestured for Sun Hu to come over.

"Sir, do you have any orders?"

Now viewing Fang Bai as a figure akin to an immortal, Sun Hu immediately jogged over to him and asked respectfully.

"Meeting is fate; this is for you!"

Fang Bai placed a jade pendant that he had personally refined into Sun Hu’s hand and said in a low voice, "Keep this pendant on you, and it will save your life when it comes to matters of life and death!"

Sun Hu looked down at the jade pendant in his hand, seemingly sensing a powerful force hidden within. He was about to express his gratitude when he looked up and saw Fang Bai had already turned and left. In just a few steps, Fang Bai had already covered a hundred meters.

Sun Hu rubbed his eyes, preparing to take a closer look, but Fang Bai had already vanished from view.

"He must be an immortal..."

Overwhelmed with emotion, Sun Hu knelt on the ground, bowed several times in the direction Fang Bai had gone, then put on the jade pendant around his neck and tucked it close to his body.

Strangely, once he put on the jade pendant, fatigue was swept away, and he felt as though he was filled with strength; even the cold seemed to dissipate.

Another day passed, and after traveling over two thousand miles through the snow and ice, Fang Bai finally saw a towering ice peak in the distance, standing proudly among the mountain range ahead.

That ice peak was none other than Mount Vinson, the highest point on the Antarctica Continent.

Delight filled Fang Bai’s heart as he remembered Linghu Qian Jiao’s words that the "Polar Ice Palace" was near Mount Vinson. Now that he had reached Mount Vinson, he believed it would not be long before he found the exact location of the "Polar Ice Palace."

Releasing his Divine Sense, Fang Bai scanned a thousand meters in every direction, preparing to ascend Mount Vinson and investigate the area when he suddenly sensed four martial artist auras heading toward Mount Vinson.

These four auras were similar to those of the Linghu sisters he had met before, clearly from the same sect.

"They’re from ’Wrathful Beauties’!"

Fang Bai’s eyebrows lifted, and he quickly hid behind a nearby massive block of ice.

Minutes later, four women dressed in white flew by some tens of meters ahead of Fang Bai, heading north of Mount Vinson.

All four women were Earth Level Martial Artists, and Fang Bai knew that martial artists of this caliber were important figures within "Wrathful Beauties."

"No need to seek further, as it comes all without effort. If I follow these four women, I’ll surely find the ’Polar Ice Palace,’ which indeed saves me a lot of trouble!"

After the four women flew past for a few hundred meters, Fang Bai began to move with his movement technique, leisurely following behind them.

After traveling several miles, the four women entered a vast ice valley, disappearing among dozens of ice pillars that stood within the valley.

Tracking the four women with his Divine Sense, Fang Bai waited until they had passed the dozens of ice pillars and entered into a cave before he entered the ice valley, examining the ice pillars that stood before him.

These dozens of ice pillars appeared naturally formed, but Fang Bai knew they were the result of artificial sculpting. Although they seemed to be placed randomly, in reality, they formed a very powerful Formation.

"This is the ’Nine Bends Soul Loss Formation’! However, the person who set up this formation is clearly not at the level of an Array Master, so its power is much diminished. Still, it’s quite remarkable. It seems ’Wrathful Beauties’ do have Masters within their ranks!"

Muttering to himself, Fang Bai stepped into the "Nine Bends Soul Loss Formation," composed of eighty-one ice pillars.

Without knowing how to break the formation, or being an Array Master oneself, anyone entering it might never find their way out again and would be trapped to death, hence the name "Soul Loss Formation."

But such a formation, while mysterious and a matter of life and death for others, was considered unsophisticated in Fang Bai’s eyes. He could easily break it.
