The avatar, originally rushing to rescue its true body, was intercepted. Evan Yang took the opportunity to sweep through the true body again, finally sealing it.
The true body was shocked—just now it was only seriously injured, but suddenly it couldn’t move. Evan Yang left it behind and turned to attack the avatar.
Seeing Evan Yang approach, the avatar roared in anger, "What did you do to my true body?"
"Try it yourself and you’ll see," Evan Yang replied, preparing to attack the avatar. The avatar now had to face both Evan’s main body and clone, plus Evan’s Master’s Wife’s true body.
With this, the Mutant Snow Lizard’s avatar instantly fell into dire straits.
It was now impossible even to escape. Forced to hold out, it soon suffered heavy injuries as time dragged on.
The avatar glanced at its true body, then at its own predicament. It launched an attack at Evan Yang’s clone, trying to escape. Evan dodged in a flash—his speed was no joke—and with another step, his dagger was already pressed to the avatar’s back.
The avatar let out a cry, then crashed heavily to the ground, unable to move. Both bodies were sealed by Evan Yang. The surrounding snow beasts—whether minor ones or Spirit‑Wandering‑level—dared not approach. Their leader’s avatar and true body had both been subdued just like that.
Evan Yang and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, while the snow beasts slowly retreated.
"I never expected you’d become this powerful," Evan Yang’s Master’s Wife said with a smile, looking at him.
"Still not quite there yet," Evan Yang said modestly.
Lana Situ and the others walked over, looking at the two subdued snow beasts. Ling Yu then asked, "This must be your sect’s top forbidden art, right?"
"Mm," Evan Yang’s Master’s Wife replied with a smile. She wasn’t planning to hide anything anymore, since Evan now had the strength to protect himself.
Seeing his Master’s Wife speak for him, Evan Yang simply smiled without answering.
“Unbelievable—it really is impressive.” Ling Yu stared at Evan Yang, unable to believe that he had subdued two Spirit‑Wandering Great Perfection snow beasts so easily.
Lana Situ didn’t care; she stepped forward and said, "Kid, I never thought you’d be so strong. You can even take down Spirit‑Wandering Great Perfection snow beasts."
"Just lucky," Evan Yang replied with a smile.
"Even luck like that is hard to imagine." Ling Yu’s true body was also at Spirit‑Wandering Great Perfection—if Evan Yang could do this to her, she’d be in trouble too. At this moment, she couldn’t even guess what stage Evan’s real strength belonged to.
Everyone agreed with Ling Yu’s words. Evan Yang didn’t explain much; he simply said to the group, "Let’s hurry out—if those powerful snow beasts show up again, we’ll be in trouble."
No one objected to Evan Yang’s suggestion, and they immediately left through the secret passage.
They quickly arrived outside. The battle was still raging, snow everywhere.
"If this goes on, both the Northsource Region experts and the snow beasts will end up badly wounded," Evan Yang’s Master’s Wife said with a frown as soon as she saw the scene.
The others were shocked by the scene as well. They’d thought things inside were brutal, but outside, the snow beasts were fighting all the cultivators even harder—making it even more savage.
"What now?" Ling Yu asked Evan Yang’s Master’s Wife—she was the highest‑ranked cultivator present.
"Unless we defeat a few powerful snow beasts—like just now—it’s the only way to make both sides retreat, humans and beasts alike," Evan Yang’s Master’s Wife explained.
"This time it’s all caused by that power. If we bring it out, maybe everyone will stop fighting?" Evan Yang mused after thinking for a moment.
"Right, that box—where is it?" Lana Situ perked up at Evan Yang’s mention, and the others looked at him curiously.
Evan Yang smiled, "The box is with me, and the power’s still inside. But I don’t need it, so you all decide—however you want to deal with it, I’ll follow your lead."
Evan Yang only wanted the box. The power inside didn’t attract him much—after all, rapid cultivation gains would surely affect his future training. He’d rather lose out now than risk his long‑term progress.
Everyone was stunned by Evan Yang’s words—why take it only to refuse to use it?
