"Of course, let's go, keep up with them. Before they start fighting with Xu Hao and the others, we won't make a move against Xu Hao's group."

Tang Jing said, "That kid Xu Hao has quite a temper; he definitely won't tolerate provocation. But he's also principled; as long as we don't actively cause him trouble or compete for the Water God Altar with him, he surely won't make a move."

Tang Jing felt she understood Xu Hao thoroughly and analyzed the situation quite well, while Wang Zihao and the others continuously nodded in agreement.

After the discussion, Tu Yilong immediately ordered the fleet to speed up, hoping to catch the show ahead of time.

Actually, they had little hope of finding the Water God Altar themselves; if it were easy to find, someone would have discovered it by now.

Finding the Water God Altar should rely on the people of the Ice Palace.

...

Over at Xu Hao's side.

Their goal was the North Pole.

As for whatever Ice Blue and her team prepared to search for the Water God Altar, Xu Hao didn't care. After all, the final item wouldn't end up with him.

The Far North is so vast; whether they'll find it is still a question.

Finally, they arrived at the North Pole.

Compared to the South Pole, the temperature at the North Pole was still somewhat lower, but the climate here was considerably better than in the South.

The icebreaker had already stopped outside the Arctic Glacier, and Xu Hao's group had walked here on foot.

Plenty of national flags were placed here, including Huaya's.

There were even permanent exploration teams here, whose purpose was to study local climate and other aspects.

Xu Hao and his group didn't want much contact with these people, and they were sensible enough not to communicate much with Xu Hao's group, as Xu Hao's team was not easy to mess with.

Ice Blue stood near the North Pole, then took out from their long box a scepter about one meter and eighty centimeters tall.

The Ice God Scepter!

Xu Hao didn't expect them to bring the scepter; it was apparent this was the tool to find the Water God Altar.

Ice Blue said, "Many people believe the Water God Altar was buried by His Highness the Ice God, but that may not be the case; only His Highness the Ice God knows the real story. We are all unaware, but His Highness the Ice God told me that using this Ice God Scepter as a guiding tool, we can find the buried Water God Altar. However, there are some traps at the burial site, so we must be very cautious."

Xu Hao nodded slightly, then Ice Blue suddenly exerted Qi force, supplying a large amount of Qi force into the Ice God Scepter.

The Ice God Scepter immediately floated up, and then its tip suddenly opened, resembling a pure and spotless blooming lotus flower.

In the next instant, the Ice God Scepter started spinning swiftly, quickly pointing to a distant position below.

"It seems it really is underwater," Ice Blue said.

"Indeed, we must dive in now. Ao Ming, it's up to you. This thing must be buried deep; your diving and surfacing speed has to be quick, or we'll be stuck down there," Xu Hao said, patting Ao Ming's turtle shell with a laugh.

Ao Ming shook its head, indicating it was completely fine.

Ice Blue said with envy, "Baxia's strength is immense, and with the Black Turtle's water control ability, it's practically at home in the ocean. Young Master Xu managing to tame it as a companion is truly enviable!"

Xu Hao laughed, "Actually, I have no idea why this thing clings to me. When I signed the contract with it, I was completely baffled..."

"You... you signed a contract with it? Is it a master servant contract?!"

Ice Blue exclaimed in shock, but before Xu Hao could answer, she suddenly said, "However, considering your identity, perhaps it's to be expected."

"What identity? Earlier, when you saw me using golden energy, you seemed very surprised?" Xu Hao immediately asked.

He was actually quite curious about his bloodline legacy; initially, he thought it was just a few hundred years of memories, but now he increasingly believes his legacy is not simple, certainly more than a few hundred years, but rather much longer.

Now hearing Ice Blue's words, Xu Hao became even more curious about whether she knew something.

Ice Blue said, "I don't know about that either. But let's dive in; I believe with the Ice God Scepter's guidance, we can quickly find the Water God Altar."

Just then, Ao Ming suddenly said to Xu Hao, "Someone's coming."

"Who's coming?!"

Xu Hao immediately looked around but didn't immediately see anyone suspicious.

Ao Ming's hearing was far superior to that of the others, so Xu Hao trusted it completely. He immediately raised his hand, signaling Ice Blue and the others to halt.

Shortly after, Xu Hao's group saw three boats heading their way, and unexpectedly, they bore the Temple of Light's banner!

Xu Hao was no longer the naive person he used to be; now he was well-aware of the situations with major worldwide forces.
