Starting Cultivation During a Trip

As Lin Jianyue reached this point in the conversation, she gave Zhang Fan a meaningful look before gracefully standing, walking over to him, and whispered softly in his ear.

”If I were you, I’d be thinking of a way to kill him to silence him already!”

Lin Jianyue stood up and slowly walked out of the Invisible Mountain Cafe.

Zhang Fan watched her departing figure, and before him, the three plates of steak suddenly lost their appeal.

He was just a step too slow; he should have slaughtered Yin Hu right then, but now there’s a loose end.

”No, I can’t delay anymore.”

Yin Hu might never talk, but Zhang Fan wouldn’t dare take a one-in-ten-thousand chance risk.

”Waiter, pack these to go.”

A moment later, Zhang Fan walked out of the cafe, went around a street, and arrived at the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance.

At this moment, many people were coming and going, busier than any usual day.

”Zhang Fan...”

Upon entering, Zhang Fan ran into Zhan Xinyue.

”Is Old Sui here?” Zhang Fan asked casually.

”He went out, looking for him about something?”

”No, I just happened to pass by, thought I’d take a look. Where did he go?” Zhang Fan asked, seemingly nonchalant.

”I think he’s busy with the transportation of Yin Hu to Shangjing.”

”Yin Hu has been transported to Shangjing? When?” Zhang Fan’s heart skipped a beat.

”He was transported overnight yesterday... Just now, senior brother received a call and took people out, maybe there are some procedures to complete.”

Before Zhan Xinyue finished speaking, suddenly, her eyes lit up, pointing toward the door.

”Senior brother...”

Zhang Fan looked up to see Sui Chunsheng hurrying inside, looking extremely grim.

”What’s wrong?”

”There’s been an incident.” Sui Chunsheng gritted his teeth, his gaze slightly sidelong at Zhang Fan, who felt an unsettling hollowness but remained calm.

”What happened?”

”Yin Hu was kidnapped.”

”Kidnapped?” Zhang Fan’s eyes lit up.

”Huh!?”

”In broad daylight, who would be so out of their mind?” Zhang Fan quickly changed his tone, strongly condemning.

”When I arrived, everyone was dead, but fortunately the surveillance in the car should have captured it...”

Speaking this, Sui Chunsheng paused slightly, looked at Zhang Fan, and decisively said, ”Come take a look too.”

Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance, third floor.

Technical Analysis Section.

The video flickered into visibility, the time displayed at the top left corner showed 5:16 AM.

On the deserted highway, the transport vehicle flipped to the roadside, Yin Hu was bound all over with chains, a silver-white implement pierced through his scapula.

In the pool of blood, several Daoists lay crosswise, some still struggling.

At this moment, a figure appeared in the footage; clad in a trench coat, her appearance was unclear. As she approached the car, the surviving experts rushed out from inside the carriage.

Buzz...

However, before closing within five steps of that mysterious figure, suddenly, the bodies of the surviving three halted abruptly, and one of them rapidly shriveled as if his body fluids were instantly drained, shortly followed by his body elongating like a tree branch, bursting through flesh.

Another suddenly self-ignited, engulfed in True Flame, within three seconds, reduced to a charred corpse.

The last one’s body suddenly inflated, damp liquid constantly seeped from beneath the skin, and the next moment, he exploded, turning into a drenched skin flopping onto the ground.

Rustle...

At this instant, the frame jerked violently, transforming into countless snowflakes.

”What kind of trick is this?” Aside, Zhan Xinyue watched in shock.

That mysterious person, from start to finish, didn’t even move a finger.

”Five Elements reversed, Tribulation extends externally, those who defy become Immortal, those who err become King...”

Right then, an ancient voice resonated from the back.

The group turned to see Lou Hechuan walking in.

”That’s one of the Nine Great Inner Elixir Methods, the Five Elements Mistaken King!”

Zhang Fan’s eyes slightly narrowed, looking at the flickering video, yet in his mind, a name was already surfacing.

”Chen Dragon!”
