Chapter 52: The Frost Snow Woman
–Wind Valley
Submerged at the bottom of the lake, Gong Lianyue saw a different scene reflected in her teardrop eyes.
Whirling snow covered the sky, a beautiful woman in a shroud-like robe, her long white hair and pale face like a painting.
Despite the distance of hundreds of miles, she had clearly seen the Frost Snow Woman, a brief glimpse that sent a chill through her, her body almost freezing.
The desolate snowy mountain scene vanished, and the girl’s vision returned to the murky water.
“What the…?”
Gong Lianyue gasped for breath, her heart pounding, making her dizzy.
The lake water flowed into her lungs, but she could breathe it like air, the mechanics of her body defying explanation.
After recovering, she looked at the Water Element in shock. Its life core had returned to its usual dim state, no longer shimmering.
What had just happened? Had something about the Water Element attracted the Frost Snow Woman, creating a resonance between them?
Although it sounded far-fetched, it was the only explanation Gong Lianyue could think of.
More precisely, the scene she had just witnessed was likely transmitted through the Water Element’s consciousness. It had used the resonance frequency of its core to establish a momentary connection with the Frost Snow Woman.
Just like animals that couldn’t communicate with language, they could convey messages through other means.
Was it a coincidence, or…?
“Forget about the Frost Snow Woman for now. They must know the Sea Concubine Palace is here.”
Five hours had passed since Gong Lianyue arrived. There were probably more than a dozen Sea Concubine Palace members in the Wind Valley now. It would be strange if the enemy hadn’t noticed.
As for the Frost Snow Woman, she wasn’t likely to actually come to the Wind Valley looking for her. Gong Lianyue had merely glanced at her…
Glare at me, and I’ll kill your whole family!!
That kind of trope was outdated.
Carried by the Water Element’s swirling currents, the blue-haired girl swam deeper into the lake.
She would be more cautious from now on, less reckless.
She wasn’t particularly worried about the two women from Gray Citadel. After all, the Iron Jade Ice Scorpion still had its Five-Leaf Clover technique. Once that poison was unleashed, the outcome was uncertain.
But her goal wasn’t to slaughter members of the Storm Realm. Gong Lianyue didn’t want to expose her identity as the Sorrowful Saintess. Escalating the conflict would complicate things with the Frost Snow Woman.
Creating ripples with rapid movements, she intentionally swam downstream, away from the previous area.
After swimming for half an hour, a faint light appeared in the murky depths.
Just as Gong Lianyue was about to surface, she heard voices above and stopped.
“Since the Sea Concubine Palace is here, does that mean the… Crying Saintess is here too?”
“It’s the Sorrowful Saintess.”
“Right, right, the Sorrowful Saintess. Doesn’t she have the Variant Water Emperor? Why haven’t we sensed a Saint-rank aura yet?”
“Not sure. Maybe she’s planning something. But it’s basically confirmed to be a Saint-rank spirit beast. The Wind Demon Palace people were slaughtered, and she was only at the Illumination Stage at the time.”
“Illumination Stage? Hahaha, that’s hilarious…”
“I heard she’s incredibly ugly, with seventy or eighty teardrop marks on her face, like she’s constantly crying.”
“Damn, that’s disgusting.”
!!!?
Hearing their increasingly distorted gossip, the blue-haired girl lurking below frowned angrily.
She had intended to keep a low profile and avoid unnecessary killing, but insulting her appearance? That was unforgivable!
A small, pink flower bud appeared in her hand. The Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower couldn’t maintain its fox form underwater.
[Deep Sea]
Whoosh~~
The next second, a dreamy, ethereal aura enveloped the two women above.
As their minds clouded, the blue-haired girl, like a water ghost, surfaced and grabbed their ankles, pulling them down.
“Ah!!!!!!!
A few minutes later, the two disrespectful Spirit Masters drowned in the river, the Deep Sea illusion becoming a reality.
Gong Lianyue casually checked their faction tokens: [Earth’s End Palace]. They seemed to be slightly higher ranked than the Wind Demon Palace, but still among the bottom tier of the Storm Realm.
“Fifteen tokens already. I can’t kill any more…”
Looking at the tokens she could barely carry, Gong Lianyue felt a little troubled.
(③④②⑨⑥⑦④⑥⑤)
She alone had killed fifteen enemy Spirit Masters. Combined with the other Sea Concubine Palace members’ efforts, they had dealt a significant blow to the Storm Realm.
There had to be a limit. If she continued like this, she might attract the attention of some powerful figures they couldn’t handle.
If the Storm Realm deemed her a high-level threat, they would issue a special aura alert for her.
In that case, she would be detected the moment she entered the Wind Valley, and they would send specialized Spirit Masters to deal with her, like with the Wrathful Saintess.
So, she really couldn’t kill any more. One or two at most!
Ice Shield, Seventh Palace
A massive palace stood at the edge of the Wind Valley, a defensive line formed by countless Ice Shield Palace Spirit Masters, tasked with repelling invasions from the Storm Realm.
Although the Seventh Palace was only mid-ranked among the Twelve Palaces of Ice, the current Wrathful Saintess belonged to them, so their status rose every few years. It was only a matter of time before they entered the top three.
A green-haired girl with twintails sat in meditation at the very edge of the Wind Valley, half her body inside, half outside.
Luo Kuxin, the Wrathful Saintess—
She was provoking them, being a nuisance, picking a fight.
The Storm Realm had issued a special alert for her due to her Saint-rank spirit beast. If she even stepped half a foot into the Wind Valley, alarms would blare throughout their territory.
Her current position was precisely at the edge of the Wind Valley, confusing the sensors, causing the alarms to malfunction intermittently, a constant, irritating blare echoing in the enemy territory. A truly despicable tactic.
The Saint-rank Spirit Master on the other side had tried the same thing, but they had given up. No one was as persistent as this woman, sitting there for months on end, disrupting everyone’s lives.
Boom!!!
Suddenly, something unexpected happened.
A terrifying aura descended upon the Seventh Palace’s stronghold.
Under this immense pressure, most of the members were paralyzed, unable to even move a finger.
Frost filled the air, the sky turning a blinding white as snow fell.
A few seconds later, a beautiful Snow Woman, her long hair trailing on the ground, her body shrouded in icy mist, appeared.
Although her proportions were human, she was four to five meters tall, her… chest incredibly impressive.
Swish—
The Snow Woman glided through the air, not even bothering to look down, casually entering the Wind Valley as if the Ice Shield Palace’s defenses were nonexistent.
Watching the Snow Woman enter the Wind Valley, the green-haired girl froze.
What the hell? Her Frost Snow Woman, the one she had been waiting for, had just flown away?
And into the Wind Valley no less! A Saint-rank aura entering their territory would instantly alert everyone!
Just then, a small, green blade of grass sprouted from Luo Kuxin’s throat.
Swaying gently, its leaves unfurling, the blade of grass tilted its head in a very human-like expression of confusion.
