Chapter 1098 - 1097: Unmasking the Conspiracy
Chapter 1098 - 1097: Unmasking the Conspiracy
The City of Gold appeared once again on Mantou Ridge in Sanchahe Village.Because the Sahara Desert had already been completely transformed.
It had turned into a vast oasis.
And also become a paradise for countless animals.
It shocked the people of the world to the extreme, and also excited them to the extreme.
So, Chiang Xue brought the City of Gold back to Mantou Ridge.
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
Zhang Bin led many Taiqing Sect Disciples down to land at the city gate of the City of Gold.
"Senior Brother is back."
"Our hero is back."
"Yang Xiong is back too..."
Many disciples and villagers cheered as they rushed out to welcome them.
They sang and danced, celebrating Zhang Bin and Yang Xiong winning the championship of the World Strongest Tournament.
The bustle lasted for most of the day.
Only then did Zhang Bin find a chance to slip away.
He returned to the Cultivation Chamber in the City Lord's Mansion and sat cross‑legged.
He began to ponder carefully.
After quite a while, he said, "Tutu, this time, I might have been set up."
"Set up? No way?"
Tutu said in astonishment.
"Something this obvious and you still haven't seen it?" Zhang Bin said. "I've cultivated to the Minor Tree Realm, and although I've gotten much stronger, even if I went all out with one punch, it would be impossible to kill Wu Gang, because Wu Gang is a Body Refinement Cultivator. The Defensive Power of his body is terrifyingly strong, enough to withstand the attacks of Middle-Grade Magical Treasure. My punch can't possibly be more powerful than a Middle-Grade Magical Treasure, let alone the fact that my punch didn't even land directly on Wu Gang's body. Clearly, someone secretly inflicted serious damage on Wu Gang and framed me for it. The Sky Witch Sect experts will definitely come looking for trouble with me. I'll inevitably have to face off against powerful Celestial Witch Sect Cultivators, and the Sky Witch Sect is a super powerful Sect, even stronger than Kunlun. If I handle it poorly, I could fall into an irredeemable abyss."
"Yeah, you're right. I've always felt something was off too." Tutu said angrily, "Who on earth is the enemy? How could they harm you like this?"
"It might be the Old Ancestor of Mount Lao, or it might be Demon Sect Disciples." Zhang Bin said solemnly. "What's terrifying is that I didn't notice any flaws at all, and none of the Cultivators and big shots present noticed anything wrong either. This enemy is very scary."
"It's impossible they acted on the spot, because there were so many big shots there, and Wu Gang was that strong. To seriously injure him silently, without making a sound, is impossible." Tutu said. "Clearly, Wu Gang was already plotted against before he went up on stage. He himself probably didn't even know."
"Tutu, immediately start Monitoring the Sky Witch Sect Disciples who were under the stage at the time, and also Monitor the hotel staff where they stayed that day, and their conversations. See if you can find anything." Zhang Bin said. "We must find the murderer who killed Wu Gang. Making me take the blame, that's absolutely unacceptable."
Tutu immediately began Monitoring.
The results came out very quickly.
The day before the match, Wu Gang actually hooked up with an extremely beautiful woman.
That woman's looks were only a hair inferior to Lin Yue's.
And Wu Gang even took that woman back to the hotel for the night.
The next day, that woman left.
And the Tianwu Tribe disciples didn't feel anything was wrong.
After all, Wu Gang was just playing around with women; he never thought of marrying her.
It was perfectly normal for the beauty to leave.
"Fuck... this was the Demon Sect making a move." Zhang Bin said furiously. "It must have been a Demoness who seduced Wu Gang, then used a special Secret Technique to set some kind of restriction in his body, something that could disable his Defensive Power at a critical moment. No, not disable, but greatly weaken his Defensive Power. That's why the axe fragments could so easily shatter his body. Even though this was an accidental killing during the match, the Sky Witch Sect big shots won't believe it. They'll definitely think I killed Wu Gang on purpose, just like Wu Gang deliberately killed Dao Potian. Once it's like this, the powerful Sky Witch Sect will definitely come to take revenge on me... so vicious. Too vicious!"
"Master, although it's highly likely to be the Demon Sect, that big shot who ambushed you looked a bit like the Old Ancestor of Mount Lao. Maybe it's the Old Ancestor of Mount Lao's poison scheme, that's also possible." Tutu said.
"If that really was the Old Ancestor of Mount Lao, after putting on a disguise, there's no way we'd be able to recognize him. Since we did recognize him, the odds it's him actually aren't that high." Zhang Bin said thoughtfully. "It might be the enemy deliberately disguised themselves as him to stir up my suspicion, so we'd break out into a war with Mount Lao. This might be a chain poison scheme."
"What a vicious Demon Sect." Tutu said in shock as well. "Looks like the threat from the Demon Sect is especially great. We must eradicate the Demon Sect completely as soon as possible."
Zhang Bin nodded and ordered Tutu to keep searching for that woman who had spent the night with Wu Gang, and to keep searching for any Spider Silk trails of the Remnants of the Demon Sect.
Then he called Chiang Xue in.
"Husband..."
Chiang Xue blushed shyly and threw herself into Zhang Bin's arms.
Now she had already cultivated to the Mid Nascent Soul stage, and could break through to Nascent Soul Late-Stage at any time, even to Peak and Great Perfection.
Because her body was originally at the Integration Realm Complete Perfection Realm.
As long as the strength of her Soul catches up, she can rapidly break through.
Having cultivated to such a level, Chiang Xue was of course especially beautiful and seductive.
Zhang Bin's heart instantly stirred and his mind swayed; he had a passionate round with Chiang Xue.
Then Zhang Bin took out the Moonlight Treasure Box and taught Chiang Xue the Secret Technique to absorb and Refine the energy of the Moonlight Treasure Box.
After all, Chiang Xue had now cultivated the Soul Immortal Divine Technique to the third layer—Soul and Spirit Unity.
During this period, Chiang Xue had also teleported herself into the Dragon Palace to cultivate, mainly using Dragon Blood to temper herself.
Her Soul had also become very powerful.
She just hadn't formed a Soul Vein yet.
And the Secret Technique Zhang Bin taught her was how to Devour and absorb the energy of the Moonlight Treasure Box to slowly form a Soul Vein.
"Husband, I can feel that your Soul is much stronger than mine. If my Soul were as strong as yours, I could even break through to the Integration Realm immediately." Chiang Xue said excitedly. "Now that I can use this method to rapidly strengthen my Soul, I'll grow quickly. I won't fear any powerful enemies."
If she recovered the Cultivation Level of her previous life, with a top-tier High-grade Magical Artifact like the City of Gold, she wouldn't even fear Cultivators at the Ascension Realm Early Stage.
Because she would have made up for the flaw of her weak Soul.
"You are my most secret trump card... I'm looking forward to you restoring your past‑life Cultivation Level." Zhang Bin said expectantly. "Then we'll have ways to wipe out all those powerful enemies one by one."
Chiang Xue, her face full of determination, began to absorb the energy of the Moonlight Treasure Box to cultivate, strengthening her Moon Palace and Soul.
And her Soul Vein was also slowly being constructed.
"Now that Chiang Xue has gotten much stronger again, I can rest easy and go treasure hunting."
Zhang Bin muttered, and his gaze was also cast toward the South Pole.
There was a miraculous Thunder God Cave there, with a heaven‑shaking secret inside. In addition, the South Pole also had the Thunder Spirit Fruit and Cold Soil Grass he needed to find.
If he wanted to get stronger faster, he had to refine the Germination Pill.
Only then could the Small Tree grow into a Large Tree!
Now the Small Tree was only as tall as Divine Chopsticks, yet already so miraculous. Once it grew into a Large Tree, how strong would it make him?
Zhang Bin was extremely full of anticipation.
Moreover, only by rapidly getting stronger and surpassing the enemies' predicted Speed could he deal with more powerful enemies!
