Urban Immortal Cultivation Supreme

Chapter 896: There's a Conspiracy



Glancing at the ground, post-explosion, a spring of clear water gushed forth from an unfathomably deep hole, revealing liquid clear water, a sight not seen in a hundred years in the Endless Ice Field!

However, due to the extremely cold weather, the geyser did not persist for long before it started to freeze from the edges into transparent ice crystals. In no time, a beautiful ice pillar flower stretched out from the hole.

Such a huge commotion was bound to attract some formidable beings. After a moment's thought, Zhu Yuheng grabbed Zhu Bufan by the collar and rocketed off into the distance.

Once they arrived behind a snow peak sheltered from the wind, Zhu Yuheng flung the mud-like Zhu Bufan into the snow.

With a ruthless throw, Zhu Bufan immediately cried out in pain.

Only after his Inner Qi was cut off did Zhu Bufan feel the bone-chilling cold of the surrounding air. The pain throughout his body was completely suppressed by the freezing temperatures.

Subsequently, Zhu Yuheng bent down and began to search Zhu Bufan's body.

Quickly, several bottles and, of course, a blue Crystal Stone were retrieved from Zhu Bufan's person.

"What potent Poison!" Zhu Yuheng exclaimed softly as he wafted a bottle's contents gently at the mouth. A faint scent entered his nostrils, causing dizziness to assail his brain instantaneously. Even Zhu Yuheng, with his strong cultivation, felt his vision blur and his head spin. If not for promptly circulating his Inner Qi to expel the scent from his body, he would have been completely overwhelmed.

"What is this?"

He eyed the last two bottles, colorless and odorless like clear water, with a silent sense of astonishment—he couldn't identify the substance contained within!

However, Zhu Yuheng was certain that this unidentifiable liquid was the true culprit behind the poisoning of the bald man.

A poison that could kill a martial artist with Inner Qi Cultivation at the late Eighth Rank in just moments was indeed terrifyingly potent.

"Hmph, with these, some losses are somewhat recovered!" Zhu Yuheng said softly as he unceremoniously pocketed them.

Then, he turned his attention to the blue Crystal Stone.

Zhu Bufan, who was nearby, saw Zhu Yuheng pick up the blue Crystal Stone that could swiftly replenish Inner Qi. A fleeting look of panic and heartache flashed across his eyes.

But, contrary to his expectations, after picking up the blue Crystal Stone, Zhu Yuheng looked at it casually, as if he had not noticed anything special about it, and then tossed it onto the ground.

Meanwhile, Zhu Bufan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and began contemplating ways to escape.

His most pressing problem right now was the loss of Inner Qi.

However, Zhu Bufan was not the least bit disheartened. After enduring life's many ups and downs, his will had become unyieldingly resilient. Now it was just a temporary inability to gather Inner Qi; in the past, he couldn't gather Inner Qi at all. Compared to before, his current situation was much better.

"Cold Ice Technique, Hanhai Tide Skill..."

Two cultivation techniques came to mind for Zhu Bufan.

Without delay, Zhu Bufan began to practice the Cold Ice Technique.

Surrounded by the Endless Ice Field, filled with severely cold Water Element Primordial Qi, this environment was most suitable for Martial Artists practicing Water Element Cultivation Techniques, especially for someone like Zhu Bufan, who cultivated the Cold Ice Technique—it was the best place to practice.

Silently operating the Cold Ice Technique, Zhu Bufan instantly felt wisps and threads of cold air penetrating through **, attacking his meridians. This cold air was quickly restrained by Zhu Bufan's resolute intent, bound within his body, and following the unique Cultivation Route of the Cold Ice Technique, it circulated slowly.

"What a good show!"

Feeling the tingling sensation in his body, Zhu Bufan kept his expression unchanged, but inside, he was immediately overjoyed.

Maintaining his mental composure, Zhu Bufan urged the Cold Ice Internal Energy to flow slowly through his meridians.

The pain, coupled with the need to be cautious not to alert Zhu Yuheng, made each movement of Internal Qi exceedingly difficult. Despite this, Zhu Bufan relied on his extraordinary willpower to bite down and persevere, without revealing the slightest flaw.

However, it was precisely because of this superhuman will that the Internal Qi Zhu Bufan was gathering grew more and more abundant. He distinctly sensed a bland stream of cold flowing within him, taking away a bit of pain wherever it passed.

But... soon, Zhu Bufan's complexion changed; even with his resilience, he couldn't help but show it on his face.

Zhu Yuheng glanced indifferently, as if he sensed something.

"Hmph, how is it, how powerful is this Scattered Element Green Mist of mine? Haha, to think of breaking through the blockade of the Scattered Element Green Mist, it's downright wishful thinking!" Zhu Yuheng snorted coldly, seemingly having immense confidence in what he called the Scattered Element Green Mist.

"What do you want?" Zhu Bufan's face darkened, he asked in a deep voice.

"Where did you get this from!" Zhu Yuheng, holding the Sensing Crystal, asked with a gloomy face.

Zhu Yuheng was no ordinary person. After playing with the Sensing Crystal in his hand for a moment, he understood its mysteries. But once he realized it, Zhu Yuheng's face changed. Such a miraculous treasure that could snatch the creation of heaven and earth, he had never seen before, yet how did Zhu Bufan, a fallen family member, possess it?

Scanning the Sensing Crystal, seeing Zhu Yuheng's solemn face, Zhu Bufan had a thought—perhaps, this was his opportunity!

"A mysterious person gave it to me!" Zhu Bufan said indifferently.

"A mysterious person?" Zhu Yuheng's face twitched, he asked in a grave tone.

"I don't know who it was. These **, poisons, and this crystal, were all given to me by that mysterious old man!" Zhu Bufan spoke calmly.

Zhu Yuheng's actions halted, he suddenly asked: "Mysterious... old man?"

"Actually, saying he's old doesn't seem right; the man had white hair but a youthful face, looking to be only in his forties!" Zhu Bufan said softly, "Oh right, by the corner of that old man's eyebrow, there was a blood-red star mole..." Eventually, Zhu Bufan mentioned in an offhand manner.

"Blood-red star moles?" Zhu Yuheng exclaimed, his heart skipped a beat, and he almost threw the Sensing Crystal in his hand.

"Yes, that old man spoke with an air of arrogance, always referring to himself as 'this seat', 'this seat'!" Zhu Bufan glanced at Zhu Yuheng and said in a low voice.

"This seat... blood-red star moles... this seat... blood-red star moles..." Zhu Yuheng murmured absentmindedly.

After a good while, Zhu Yuheng came back to his senses, his eyes blazing with a sharp light, staring intently at Zhu Bufan, scanning every part of him.

"Could it be the Family Head? This seat... blood-red star moles... definitely, it must be the Family Head!" Zhu Yuheng pondered in his heart, "How could this young man, a direct descendant of the Family Head, be so easily discarded?... Or is it, in fact, a test by the Family Head for this young man? If that's the case, I..." With this thought, Zhu Yuheng broke out in a cold sweat.

Having said these words, Zhu Bufan was constantly watching Zhu Yuheng's reaction—seeing the nervousness and panic on Zhu Yuheng's face, Zhu Bufan calculated inwardly.
