Chapter 1577: Chapter 1557: The Treasure of the Snow Palace
Looking at everyone except Luo Qianqian who had closed their eyes, Big Black and Xiao Hei were speechless.
In the end, how did it come down to just them? How are they going to cause trouble at the Snow Palace?
The point is...
"Why aren’t you reacting?" Madam Sue looked at Luo Qianqian in confusion. Normally, after taking Bell Spirit Milk, one should feel a splitting headache and have to immediately enter a cultivation state to resist the pain.
And the beads of sweat on Yan and Mo’s foreheads also proved there was no problem with the potion’s efficacy, so why didn’t Luo Qianqian react?
Luo Qianqian blinked her eyes: "Did I not drink enough? Should I take a bit more?"
"Don’t be silly." Big Black, seeing Luo Qianqian without any abnormal reactions, also sighed in relief: "Anyway, you’ve always had strange things happening around you. Now they’re all in cultivation state, should we go cause some trouble? The final battle is about to begin, the Snow Palace probably shouldn’t have too many people around right now."
With that, Luo Qianqian saw excitement and cunning in Big Black’s eyes.
Madam Sue, hearing this, was also eager to give it a try.
"Uh, it’s quite dangerous for them here all alone..." Luo Qianqian muttered, not daring to leave her friends and brother here. The others were also very important to her, and she wouldn’t be able to bear it if something happened...
"So, why do you think I brought them here?" Madam Sue, after a moment of silence, looked at Luo Qianqian with a strange expression. Did she think her cave abode was a place anyone could come to easily?
She had forgotten that even with the Black Tortoise’s cave abode, Luo Qianqian had come and gone as she pleased...
Hearing Madam Sue’s words, Luo Qianqian was first taken aback, then understood. Bringing them here was partly because the abundant spiritual energy in her cave abode was convenient for cultivation. It also served to deter other spiritual beasts and protect them.
"Then let’s go." Luo Qianqian grinned, a bloodthirsty glint returning to her eyes.
She couldn’t believe the Blessed Land Cave Heaven would change their battle plans for no reason, to offend the entire competition area. Clearly, someone was backing them up or giving advice. Even without investigation, it was certain.
If not, why bother offending the entire competition area?
The first suspect in Luo Qianqian’s mind was the Snow Palace, especially since the feud between the Snow Palace and Luo Shiqi was well-known throughout the Northern Region. You didn’t need to investigate meticulously to know.
Not to mention the Snow Palace, even the Royal Family seemed to have a grudge against her.
First, for helping Haan Yun escape the pursuers and saving his life, potentially exposing the Royal Family’s scandal to the world. Then, for inciting the General’s Mansion Hua Family, and also facilitating the relationship between Haan Yun and Hua Nianyi.
From every angle, Luo Qianqian seemed to have thoroughly offended the Haan Family.
Yet what deterred Luo Qianqian the most about the Haan Family was Haan Bing, who had given her the opportunity for growth.
That disdainful and contemptuous expression was too deeply imprinted in her mind...
"Our target is the Snow Palace’s treasury." Madam Sue curled her lips, her face full of confidence: "Perfect to leave it as your sect’s resources."
Hearing Madam Sue’s words, Luo Qianqian’s first thought was that the future sect treasury must be tightly guarded and inaccessible to others, or it would be... too dangerous.
Concealment isn’t most important; security is.
Watching Madam Sue lead them to what seemed an unremarkable hill, not even the tallest in sight, it was quite negligible.
And not far ahead was a towering ice and snow palace, grand and majestic. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Even though it was monochrome, you couldn’t deny the awe it inspired.
What kind of person could construct such a palace?
Even the most skillful modern artisan couldn’t achieve this, especially created amid swirling snow and wind; how could one not repeatedly marvel at it?
Madam Sue pulled down Luo Qianqian’s hat: "Be careful; someone is always watching here."
That’s why they wore pure white cloaks, using cultivation techniques to travel, leaving no trace on the ground.
Luo Qianqian nodded quickly, lowering her head, hesitant to look around. Building admiration aside, it was the treasures here that were more enticing.
After all, buildings can’t be moved. Even if she wanted, she couldn’t take such a large structure back to the Nine Heavens Pavilion.
They stopped on the snow, standing under one of the few remaining trees, as Madam Sue held an icy key, thrusting it fiercely into a seemingly ordinary worm-eaten tree hole.
Suddenly, a staircase leading downward appeared, snow white, difficult to spot even when right in front of you.
Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but marvel; is this what they call "hidden in plain sight"?
But to be accurate, this should be a door hidden in snow.
As they descended, after Madam Sue pressed something on the wall, the entrance closed again, blocking out external light.
Then Madam Sue naturally took out a Luminous Pearl to illuminate the cave. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Luo Qianqian was utterly dumbfounded; she never knew a Luminous Pearl shined so brilliantly in the dark.
"Is this Luminous Pearl particularly rare?" Looking at the light, it felt unfamiliar, prompting Luo Qianqian to ask.
Madam Sue didn’t turn back: "This isn’t a Luminous Pearl."
Without further explanation, Luo Qianqian, full of curiosity, didn’t inquire further. After all, speaking here was too distinct.
After about ten meters, the narrow two-person-wide path suddenly widened, dimming the light, not as clear as before.
But perhaps because the previous passage was white, here, in their sight, the walls and floors were dim-colored.
Luo Qianqian took out a flashlight: "There shouldn’t be anyone here, right? Can I use this?"
"No fire," Madam Sue quickly remarked.
Luo Qianqian immediately turned on the flashlight, Madam Sue instinctively shielded her eyes, then slowly adjusted, waving her hand before the light, curiously.
Luo Qianqian shrugged: "This isn’t fire and doesn’t heat, should be fine, right?"
"It’s okay..." Madam Sue, after studying it for a moment, nodded, evidently interested in the gadget in Luo Qianqian’s hand.
"Which way do we go?" Even with Luo Qianqian trying to lower her voice, in this vast, still environment, it was quite distinct...
Forcing Luo Qianqian to cover her mouth, fearing to attract anyone.
