Chapter 4198 A Worthwhile Trip

Despite the woman having her eyes closed, she looked just like Dorothy.

But the ornaments she wore in her hair, the expression on her face, and the aura she emitted, were completely different from Dorothy's.

"Who is Dorothy?" the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord asked curiously.

Zen told him about Dorothy's origin and how she had suddenly disappeared.

Once he had heard the story, the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord thought for a while. "In that case, I don't think it's a coincidence," he said, still thoughtful.

It wasn't rare for two women in the world to have the same appearance. The key point was that Dorothy's origin was mysterious, and she might have something to do with the woman on the throne.

Unfortunately, Dorothy had been missing for a while now, and without her presence, it was difficult to confirm the connection between the two.

Once he retreated from the diversion, Zen returned to the junction of the three roads and chose to enter the ice gate in the middle.

When Zen came into contact with the ice gate, he felt his hands grow heavy.

"This door is so heavy!" he exclaimed.

But then, Elizabeth's words about the Cold Prisons came to mind.

Even after pouring the water from a sea into a Cold Prison, one could only get a thumb-sized piece of ice.

No one knew how much water had been used to condense this ice gate.

However, Zen's strength was no longer what it used to be. He had barely put his hands on the gate, when the power of his arms suddenly burst out.

A powerful aura surged around Zen's body, the shock waves of which were destructive. They left whip-like marks on the ground surrounding him.

"Open!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ice gate scraped the ground before a fist-sized crack appeared on it.

Zen was about to increase his strength to push the door, when a hand reached out from the crack and pressed to the side of the ice gate. The door swung open slowly.

A hunchbacked old man appeared in the doorway. He had one eye, and his lifeless-looking skin was deathly gray.

Zen instinctively took two steps backwards. On one hand, he was surprised that there was a living person inside. On the other hand, the old man had opened the gate so effortlessly, which indicated his great strength.

The old man then glanced at Zen, turned around to go back inside.

"Sir!" Zen shouted before the old man could disappear.

The old man turned a deaf ear to him.

Behind the ice gate was an open, circular ice hall, within which were many bodies scattered e

open it, he should have been the first person to enter it.

But why had the Snake Spirit King been able to enter this place before him?

Zen related what he had heard to the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, who was also lost in thought.

The old man's unintentional words had created a strange situation for them.

After a long while, the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord said, "What if the Snake Spirit King had long since known of this key's existence?"

"You mean he opened the door of the altar with the key?" Zen said, baffled.

The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord nodded before saying, "Yes. If that's the case, then the Snake Spirit King must want to get something from the Human Spirit King. But not only did he not get it, he was even killed inside when he was in the form of a Treacherous Being!"

"And the Snake Spirit King then secretly put the key back in the Soul City?" Zen said contemplatively. "This does not make sense. The Snake Spirit King couldn't have been so confident about my strength!" he said.

The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord fell silent for a long while before he seemed to figure it out. "The Snake Spirit King's confidence in you is not because of your strength, but because of your identity."

"My identity? What identity?" Zen asked suspiciously. He had thought of the ancestry-level bloodline, but even if the Snake Spirit King had superb foresight, it was impossible for him to have predicted that Zen would definitely absorb the ancestry-level bloodline.

"Your identity as a human," said the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord.

Kincaid might kill people of other races, or any Treacherous Beings that entered the place. But he might not kill a human.
