Even though the group was conducting a thorough search, it could still be dangerous, as many terrifying demon creatures were hiding close to the rifts in the ice, waiting viciously for the humans who were unaware of their existence to get closer.

The creatures that lived in the Desolate Ice Field had certain abilities to disguise themselves. The people struggled to perceive them on the mirror-like ice. They had no idea when they entered the creatures’ attack range!

“She might be hiding behind that hill. It’s where the last movement I heard came from,” Nanyu whispered to Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue.

“Alright, lead us to her. We must find her before the Heresy Judgment Court,” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, and Zhao Manyan followed Nanyu as they pretended to search behind the hill. The Heresy Judgment Court was not suspicious of them, and continued to search for Qin Yu’er.

Every minute they wasted meant more time for Qin Yu’er to recover her energy. The Judicators would not have the upper hand if she was able to cast her magic at will while having plenty of energy.

“You guys, search that area,” Yassen told a few Hunter Masters from his team.

“It’s dangerous over there. I heard a few deep growls just now!” The Hunter Masters were reluctant to go any further.

“One must put in the effort to be rewarded. Do you think we can take the Tianshan Sacred Lotus if we are pretending to be searching for her while we are strolling around the field?” Yassen reminded him.

The other teams went separate ways. Everyone knew how dangerous the rifts were. No one dared to fly in the Desolate Ice Field, as the strange winds might drag them into the rifts if they were the least bit careless!

Mo Fan turned to watch where the others were going. He noticed Xing Hui was following them with a bunch of people.

“Do they know we are up to something?” Zhao Manyan said.

“I don’t think so. I bet they are just trying to annoy us. We have to send them away, or we won’t be able to meet Qin Yu’er,” Mo Fan said.

“Leave it to me!” Zhao Manyan exclaimed.

Zhao Manyan approached Xing Hui. He was heading up an ice dune when he suddenly pointed at a deep rift and said, “I think I see her, she’s down there!”

His shout immediately attracted everyone’s attention. They quickly gathered around while Zhao Manyan headed to the lower ground, like he was trying to take a head start.

Even though Zhao Manyan’s exaggerating act was awkward to look at, some people actually believed him, including Xing Hui and the others who were following Mo Fan. They immediately started after him.

The person who found the Ice Witch first would be rewarded with the biggest petal of the Tianshan Sacred Lotus. Wasn’t that what they were risking their lives for?

Mo Fan’s group successfully reached the back of the mountain. The hill’s waist had many ravines that were excellent hiding spots. Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue thought she would be hiding somewhere on the hill, but Nanyu went straight to the back of the hill.

“Weird…” Nanyu said.

“She’s not here?” Mu Ningxue asked worriedly.
