Chapter 88 Bai Yan Sets a Trap in Advance
The stone walls along Silent Valley emit a faint blue glow.
Wherever the eye reaches, it’s an expanse of icy white.
Everything here, whether it’s towering snow pines or plants frozen within the ice, seems as though it’s been paused in time.
The surroundings are silent, with only the crunch of footsteps against the snow breaking the stillness.
"Why is it so quiet?" Someone in the group questioned hesitantly.
As his voice faded, large heaps of snow began sliding down from the cliffs above the valley.
What seemed like an innocuous inquiry exploded like a chain of bombs thrown into the valley, shattering the ice layers, triggering avalanches, and collapsing snow mountains.
The group reeled back in alarm, retreating from their current position in Silent Valley with hearts pounding.
They watched helplessly as the snow above the valley collapsed, burying the spot where they had just been standing, and piling towards the valley’s exit—only to be strangely held back by what appeared to be a transparent barrier.
"Who just spoke up!" someone from the group demanded, their tone sharp.
But the crowd fell silent, none daring to step forward or confess.
