Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 170 Snow Lotus

In just a few breaths, the man's outstretched hand became frozen stiff and he couldn't retract it.

His teeth chattered, and he could barely speak: "You, how did you get out of the snow?!"

"Uh." Guan Xun's eyelids twitched slightly; he had no interest in arguing with him.

How could they be in the snowy region?!

The exit should be on Crescent Island, since the small area under our feet is exactly the same as the place where Lin Miao was imprisoned before.

She twisted her stiff neck, glanced down at her feet again, and reaffirmed her judgment.

They are in the same region, but their exports are completely different.

In the void, time was completely lost. She only knew that she had been flying through endless darkness for a long time, and it was only after much difficulty that she found the exit.

"Is it also a dangerous snow-covered region...?"

Guan Xun muttered to himself, feeling his hands, which were digging into the snowdrift, grow painfully cold. He simply pushed off and jumped out.

With a slight thought, crimson flames surged from his body, enveloping his entire being and instantly scorching the snow several meters away into wisps of steam that evaporated into the air.

Only after her feet firmly touched the ground did she feel her body warm up.

Never mind, as long as I can get out of that dark and gloomy place, it doesn't matter where I come from.

She had barely stepped out when the entrance beside her closed shut, and in the blink of an eye it was covered again by thick snow, leaving no trace.

This shows how dense the snowfall was. Unless you were close enough and had good eyesight, you wouldn't be able to tell if there was anyone in front of you, even if you were face to face.

During the brief pause, some people in the next group couldn't withstand the cold and collapsed in the snowdrifts.

Within the range of the crimson flames' heat, the snow covering the group instantly vanished, allowing their stiff bodies to recover.

The series of frights left them stunned for a long time. After a while, their eyes lit up as they all got up from the ground.

There were people among them who possessed fire attributes, but in this godforsaken place, even if they could summon flames, they would be extinguished instantly.

The girl before me could actually manipulate flames even amidst a blizzard and raging winds...

Regardless of whether the other party is good or evil, for them at this moment, this is a lifeline!

As their bodies warmed up completely and their blood flowed faster, the group shivered several times. Forgetting their fear, they wrapped their arms around each other and moved closer.

Seemingly oblivious to the commotion around him, Guan Xun rapidly expanded his spiritual sense to the surrounding area, attempting to sense his current location.

However, as soon as his divine sense left his body, it was bounced back by an invisible force, making it impossible for him to see what was happening around him.

Huh?

She was secretly shocked; the snowy region could actually shackle one's divine sense.

With a furrowed brow, she carefully surveyed her surroundings. This eerie place always gave her the feeling that it would erode her consciousness.

Chi Rong had said before that even it had lost its senses here.

We cannot stay here any longer.

"Do you know the way out?" Guan Xun suddenly turned his head and asked, noticing that the group of people who were slowly approaching were only half a meter away from him.

They froze abruptly, one of them swallowing hard before speaking first: "We're confused too..."

"I know!" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the man at the front. He scratched his head and chuckled, "We're heading towards the exit of the snowy region, but the blizzard is too strong and we've slowed down."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone behind him looked at him with strange expressions, and the person who had spoken earlier was so stunned that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Captain, we were clearly..."

"Aqi!"

The rebuttal had barely left his lips when he was interrupted by the person called the captain.

Sensing the anger in his words, Aqi dared not speak again, took a deep breath, and lowered his head.

Upon seeing the meaningful look in the girl's eyes, the captain lowered his eyelids, sighed, and shook his head: "Since Aqi let it slip, I can't keep it from him. It's not something I'm proud of."

“We are familiar with this area, but we have temporarily lost our way due to the blizzard, which has even led to some members of our team freezing to death in the snow.”

"As the captain, I failed to protect them..." His voice was low, and he seemed to be in a very heavy mood.

Suddenly, he looked up sharply, his eyes burning with passion: "Once the blizzard stops, I will be able to find my way back. Young lady, I suppose you also need to find a way out. How about we come together?"

Guan Xun's gaze remained unwavering as he stared at him with a half-smile. He raised his hand and slightly lifted his fingertips, instantly causing layers of frost to rise from the captain's body, freezing him so badly that he collapsed to the ground.

As soon as the person fell to the ground, she sensed something was wrong...

He clenched his fists and frowned instantly. Why did he feel as if his spiritual power was shackled, unable to exert his full strength?

Thinking about it, she immediately checked her internal condition, and soon her face turned gloomy, and the lines between her eyebrows deepened.

It wasn't an illusion; this place actually had restrictions on spiritual power, allowing one to unleash only half of their strength.

For spiritual masters with lower cultivation levels, spiritual power is practically nonexistent.

No wonder even though there were fire-attribute users among them, they were still frozen into such a wretched state.

As expected of a perilous place, the number of corpses buried under this snow-covered landscape must be no less than those in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

Guan Xun composed himself and didn't dwell on it too much; the most important thing right now was to get to the point.

“He’s not honest,” she said softly, then pointed to Aqi behind her. “You tell him.”

The sudden turn of events had already filled the faces of the group with terror.

Aqi was tense, afraid that he would also be in danger, and dared not hide anything: "The snowy region is prone to blizzards all year round, and our group has been lost for several days."

"Aren't you familiar with this place?" Guan Xun asked.

Aqi shook his head and looked around: "There's no map here, so how can we be familiar with this place? We came here for the Celestial Snow Lotus, and we're risking our lives to come here for the first time..."

"Yes, even if we go back now, we can't find the way we came. If this continues, we'll all die here," someone nearby anxiously chimed in.

He glanced at the captain and saw that the frost on his body had evaporated due to the high temperature, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The captain only said those deceptive words to save their lives. He said that as long as the girl in front of them was with them, everyone could survive and wouldn't freeze to death.

Whether it was dead or alive, Guan Xun had no interest in it. She casually waved her hand, signaling the people next to her to shut up, and her eyes lit up as she looked at A Qi: "You found the Celestial Snow Lotus?"

She had read about it in ancient books; the snow lotus petals were arranged in several layers, with the petals becoming thinner towards the center, white against green, which was very beautiful.

It is not only a miraculous antidote, but also a rare spiritual medicine that promotes cultivation and has no side effects.

“…No.” Aqi was slightly taken aback, his face filled with shame. “Actually, we got lost not long after we came in.”

Snow lotus is priceless, appearing only a handful of times in the last few centuries. Legend has it that it grows on the cliffs of extremely cold peaks.

In the entire Central Plains, only the Snow Region is an extremely cold place.

Even though this place has a notorious reputation for being a place from which no one can return, it cannot stop them from leaving, after all, the bounty offered by the auction house in Zhongtan Holy City is too tempting.

Guan Xun glanced at the layers of white snow falling outside the range of the dark flames. Although the Heavenly Snow Lotus grows in extremely cold places, it is naturally averse to snow.

Wherever it is, the surrounding area will not be covered by thick snow for several meters.

It's very easy to find for someone who can see the situation below from the air.

A smile appeared on Guan Xun's lips. This was excellent. Her Dark Flame could ward off snow, and if there were truly snow lotuses here, they wouldn't be able to hide from her eyes at all.

As the thought flashed through her mind, just as she was about to leap up by turning her ankles, the ground suddenly began to writhe violently.

She swayed and almost fell.
