Chapter 2587: Chapter 2607: When he confronts me, the opportunity comes!

Lin Chen understood.

This gossip is really huge!

As a mere spectator, I almost choked to death.

Master Zhen, originally named Zhen Liuxue, had a master who was the mother of Qiu Wushuang. That made Zhen Liuxue and Qiu Wushuang senior sisters. One day, Qiu Wushuang’s mother came back severely injured from an outing and died not long after.

Qiu Wushuang succeeded her mother as the City Lord of Ice and Snow City and, following her mother’s last wishes, supported the then not yet Quasi-Saint who is now the Myriad Immortals Hall Master. Meanwhile, Zhen Liuxue possibly left Ice and Snow City to find the true reason behind her master’s death.

Throughout Zhen Liuxue’s investigation, she uncovered the relationship between the Myriad Immortals Hall Master and the former City Lord of Ice and Snow City, the Cultivation Technique he practiced, the time of his Breaking the Realm, and she might have even found some concrete evidence.

All clues pointed toward a possibility: in order to Break the Realm and ascend to Quasi-Saint, the Myriad Immortals Hall Master cultivating the Heartless Art had to eradicate all desires, and the former City Lord of Ice and Snow City, whom he had always loved yet could never have, naturally became his Inner Demon.

In pursuit of the path of a Quasi-Saint, he chose to execute the woman he deeply loved with his own hands, severing his last worldly desires, and then, soon after, successfully promoted to Quasi-Saint.

Why didn’t the old City Lord tell the truth to Qiu Wushuang and Zhen Liuxue?

Lin Chen speculated in private that perhaps the old City Lord knew that after killing her with his own hands, the Myriad Immortals Hall Master would Break the Realm and become a Quasi-Saint. If her daughter and disciple were to learn the truth and seek revenge, wouldn’t that be sending them to their deaths?

Since the old City Lord wasn’t immediately killed and survived for some time before dying, it is highly likely that she negotiated with the Myriad Immortals Hall Master under the inevitable circumstance of her impending death.

If her death was already a foregone conclusion, then by helping him conceal the truth and maintain his reputation in exchange, he would have to take good care of Ice and Snow City and her daughter.

After such a transaction, the old City Lord concealed the truth from her daughter and disciple, died peacefully, and everything unfolded as she had expected.

Her daughter became the City Lord, Ice and Snow City became one of the Twelve Immortal Sects within the Immortal Palace, under the protection of the Myriad Immortals Hall. No one dared to offend Ice and Snow City, truly a carefree lifetime.

The old City Lord never anticipated that her disciple would be disobedient, steadfastly seeking the truth behind her death, seeking revenge for her, and after overcoming numerous hardships, she had grown strong enough to confront the Myriad Immortals Hall and even uncovered the truth about her death!

Impressive!

Exciting!

Even Lin Chen could understand; there’s no way Qiu Wushuang, as the City Lord, wouldn’t understand.

Watching Qiu Wushuang, who had been frantic just moments ago, now in a spiritless state, Lin Chen couldn’t help but feel a little sympathetic toward her.

It was too tragic.

Her mother had been murdered, yet she had been loyally devoted to her mother’s killer for so long.

After a while, Qiu Wushuang lifted her head, her eyes red, glaring intently at Zhen Liuxue, "Have you been investigating this all these years?"

Zhen Liuxue nodded coldly, "I’ve been searching for a crucial witness for a very long time. Finally, after finding it, I’ve come to know the truth. In fact, I’ve known about this for quite some time already."

Qiu Wushuang angrily exclaimed, "And you’re telling me only now?"

Zhen Liuxue responded indifferently, "So much time has passed that I need to see the Image Recording Stone just to remember what the master looked like. I suppose you’re probably the same. What difference does it make to let you know now?"

Qiu Wushuang stared angrily at Zhen Liuxue, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.

Zhen Liuxue calmly said, "She wanted you to be the City Lord without worry, she wanted you to follow him without doubts. These were her last requests. By doing so, you’ve been carrying out her wishes. Why should I plunge you into torment?"

"Perhaps you wish to avenge your mother, but do you have the strength? You know the full extent of the Myriad Immortals Hall’s power. Knowing the truth, yet unable to do anything about it or let go..."

Grinding her teeth, Qiu Wushuang demanded, "Then why have you suddenly decided to tell me the truth today?"

Zhen Liuxue pointed to her face, "To grow stronger, I’ve paid a great price. I’m already like this. If I don’t do something about it, wouldn’t my sacrifice be in vain?"

"I’m prepared to wage war against the Myriad Immortals Hall. Today, I’m here to tell you the truth so that you stay out of the way. Don’t foolishly aid the enemy against me. Not that I fear it, as it just means killing a few more people. It’s only that Ice and Snow City is the legacy of the master, and I don’t want you to destroy it."

Qiu Wushuang then asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Zhen Liuxue answered, "Facing the Myriad Immortals Hall directly, I’m naturally no match for them. Not to mention him, but even with so many Daluo Initial Immortals under his command, they could overwhelm me with sheer numbers. Therefore, I plan to first eliminate his minions and, incidentally, capture more War Slaves to increase my Combat Power."

"Perhaps I’m currently incapable of shaking the Myriad Immortals Hall, but when I begin to remove its claws one by one, and when many associated with the Myriad Immortals Hall feel threatened, he will have no choice but to deal with me personally. Then, my opportunity will come..."
