Below the southern snowy rivers, two pairs of eyes burned with a hunger hard to contain, like that of a lurking wolf awaiting its prey, steadfastly staring ahead.
They were none other than the Left and Right Protectors of the Snake Spirit Temple, the siblings Tai Ji and Tai Ling.
The prey they were waiting for was Lian Hongshang!
Although Lian Hongshang kept running forward, she was somewhat distracted, occasionally looking back over her shoulder.
For a time, she felt uneasy.
As to why she was restless, she couldn't figure it out herself.
Suddenly!
She slipped and stepped into a pre-dug ice hole.
Immediately after, a large chunk of glacier thundered down from above.
Lian Hongshang was startled and instinctively thrusted her sword at the falling ice.
"Boom!"
Her sword pierced through more than half a meter of ice and snow, which then exploded.
However, in that instant, she also spewed out blood.
She had been sneak attacked from behind and bore a heavy palm strike!
