"Swoosh~!"
In the blink of an eye, thousands of ice walls formed a plete encirclement, trapping the Crystal People, including Orkan’s caravan, within.
The encircled Crystal People did not sit idly by.
They continuously swung their crystal-like arms to attack the ice walls, producing crisp "ding! crack!" sounds.
However, their attacks were futile, leaving only a few white marks on the ice walls.
With Lord Cao Xing’s current spiritual power, these ice walls have a durability value of seventy to eighty thousand. With their attack power, it is impossible to break them in a short time.
The Crystal People, seeing their attacks were ineffective, even contemplated jumping over directly.
After all, the temporarily erected ice walls were only four to five meters high, and with a running start, they could barely jump over.
Lord Cao Xing naturally saw through the Crystal People’s intentions.
The next moment, the set effect on her body was instantly activated.
Frost Descent!
"Hah!!!"
A strong chill instantly swept through, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet by 30 degrees!
The surface of the Crystal People’s bodies gradually became covered with a thick layer of frost, making movement exceedingly difficult.
Even crystal beings are affected under absolute cold.
Including merchant Orkan and his guards, who were now shivering uncontrollably.
At the same time.
Lord Cao Xing raised her magic wand, and three massive ice mountains appeared above their heads.
Then, a faint voice sounded.
"Alright, stay put."
"Move one more step and I won’t care if you’re smashed to fragments."
The Crystal People immediately stopped upon hearing this.
They knew that, with the Great Mage’s power, there was no hope of escaping.
Soon, they gathered together obediently.
Lord Cao Xing also dispelled the special effect of [Frost Descent].
Meanwhile.
Orkan and the mercenaries recovered from the frightening chill.
While their bodies continued to tremble uncontrollably, their gazes were filled with fear towards Lord Cao Xing.
It was only after a moment that merchant Orkan gradually regained his posure, looking at Lord Cao Xing in shock.
"Lord Cao Xing, you truly keep your skills hidden..."
"Not only is your territory so prosperous, but your own power is also so strong."
"I reckon no one across the entire Gale Snow Plain is a match for you..."
His tone carried a hint of resentment and helplessness.
Lord Cao Xing displayed a faint smile and replied: "It’s just a small magic spell, nothing much."
"Well then, Mr. Orkan, I’ll be taking these Crystal People."
Upon hearing this, the merchant immediately felt a pang of toothache.
Obviously, his scheme had been seen through by Lord Cao Xing.
Thinking about selling this batch of Crystal People for a million crowns made him feel intense pain and heartache!
This time, he truly suffered greatly!
Upon returning to the merce association, he’ll even face significant punishment due to losses.
Yet, there was no choice, as he initially schemed against Lord Cao Xing, leaving him no option but to accept it now.
"Alright... okay." Orkan said with a troubled expression.
Lord Cao Xing continued to smile, then waved her hand.
Soon, a group of powerful warriors emerged from the territory to lead the Crystal People away.
Lord Cao Xing then chuckled and said: "Well then, Mr. Orkan, see you next time."
"If you have such excellent slaves again, remember to contact me!"
Upon hearing this, the merchant’s face became extremely gloomy.
Orkan said resentfully: "Alright, Lord Cao Xing, I will certainly e to find you next time if I have good slaves."
"Certainly!"
His emphasis on the last statement was pronounced, carrying a hint of reluctance.
Moments later, he sighed helplessly, then departed with his caravan.
His back was filled with some desolation.
After the Giant merce departed.
The group of Crystal People stayed surrounded by powerful warriors, standing tense in place.
They crowded together, resembling walking crystals, with a certain artistic appeal.
Lord Cao Xing looked at the Crystal People in front and asked: "Can you speak?"
At the same time, an elite Crystal Person named San Yeshi stepped out.
She held herself tall, her surface covered with crystal that refracted dazzlingly colorful light.
Her arms resembled slender crystal prisms, sleek and rigid.
Beneath her distinctive features, her face was constructed of equally crystalline structures.
She slowly spoke: "We can speak, Lord."
These Crystal People’s voices were distinct, similar to iron rods gently striking crystal, producing a crisp, pleasant sound.
Then, she bowed to Lord Cao Xing, "We are very sorry, powerful Lord, we didn’t intend to escape."
"Please forgive us."
Simultaneously, the other Crystal People bowed and echoed.
"Please forgive us!"
The war power Lord Cao Xing just displayed had subdued this group of Crystal People, leading them to confess straightforwardly.
She smiled and said: "I know you intended to cooperate with Orkan in acting."
"After escaping from me, the Giant merce would still capture you back, right?"
Upon hearing this, all the Crystal People trembled slightly.
San Yeshi softly responded: "You’re right, the Giant merce released a locating magic on us, ensuring they capture us again wherever we escape."
"We had no choice but to cooperate with them..."
Lord Cao Xing nodded slightly, as it was within his expectations.
