Chapter 572 Tonight is a sleepless night
"Snapped!"
A soft sound.
The moment that hand covered Zhang Yanran's crown, Zhang Yanran's clear and cold eyes suddenly widened, and an unprecedented extreme fear surged from the depths of her pupils!
I can't move!
I can't move at all!
Before this seemingly ordinary palm, Zhang Yanran discovered that her proud sixth-level Dao Palace cultivation, the surging ice-attribute spiritual power within her body, and even the Dao Palace deity she had painstakingly cultivated, had all completely lost contact at this moment. They were all firmly suppressed deep within the Dao Palace by an irresistible and vast power, unable to generate even the slightest resistance!
This is not a palm at all! It is clearly an ancient divine mountain that has suppressed countless ages, a deep starry sky that has collapsed!
"Who...who are you? Let me go! I am a core disciple of the Qinglan Sect. If you dare to harm me, the Qinglan Sect will never let you get away with it..."
Zhang Yanran mustered all her strength to barely squeeze out this threat, which was all bluster and no substance.
Her voice trembled, her soul screamed.
"Qinglan Sect? Heh, how impressive."
A calm and indifferent voice slowly rang in Zhang Yanran's ears.
That sound...
Zhang Yanran's heart skipped a beat.
Why does that voice sound so familiar?
But how is that possible?!
Just as her mind was in chaos from extreme fear and shock, the hand gripping her head tightened suddenly.
"Soul Searching Technique".
There were no unnecessary words, nor any hesitation or pity.
A violent divine soul force, a thousand times more terrifying than the force that had previously suppressed her, was like an indestructible sword that brutally tore through all of Zhang Yanran's psychological defenses and directly blasted into her sea of consciousness!
"ah----!!!"
Zhang Yanran, who was dreaming of becoming a powerful expert in the Sendai realm just a second ago, suddenly let out an extremely shrill scream.
Her body convulsed violently, her beautiful face twisted and deformed by the extreme pain of her soul being torn apart, making her look ferocious and terrifying.
The person who ruthlessly suppressed her and used such a vicious forbidden technique on her was none other than herself.
It was Lin Hanzhou who had just returned from the Gobi Desert outside the city!
Lin Hanzhou, dressed in black, stood expressionless behind Zhang Yanran, his deep, abyss-like eyes flashing with a cold, ruthless light.
For an outer sect elder like Elder Zhou, who only obeyed orders, the useful memories that Lin Hanzhou could retrieve were ultimately incomplete.
That old man was just an executor; he didn't know much about the details of that ambush back then.
Therefore, after killing Elder Zhou, Lin Hanzhou came to Lanyue Tower and found Zhang Yanran, the culprit who issued the kill order.
He needs to know the whole truth about what happened back then!
(Please remember the website 20 ...
Faced with Lin Hanzhou's soul, which was practically a dimensional reduction attack, Zhang Yanran's pitiful soul defense was like a thin sheet of paper, easily pierced.
Countless fragments of memory, like a flood bursting its banks, surged wildly into Lin Hanzhou's mind through his palm.
This time, because Zhang Yanran's cultivation level was lower than Elder Zhou's, and Lin Hanzhou came prepared, the soul-searching process went exceptionally smoothly.
He clearly read all the information he wanted.
The memory of that ambush from back then replayed clearly in Lin Hanzhou's mind once again.
However, this time, Lin Hanzhou saw a scene that Elder Zhou had not seen in his previous memories.
A year ago, when Zhang Yanran and Elder Zhou were out training, they did indeed "coincidentally" encounter Xiao Wu, who was covered in blood and carrying the Xuan Yu Life-Giving Flower.
However, this "just right" is not a coincidence arranged by God!
Someone leaked the information to Zhang Yanran.
This person was none other than Xiao Ming, the former Grand Elder of the Xiao family, who seized power and usurped the throne after Xiao Wu's death!
In an instant, all the clues connected in Lin Hanzhou's mind, revealing the whole truth behind that heinous conspiracy from back then.
A year ago, Xiao Wu went alone to the dangerous ruins to find a miracle cure for his son.
This matter could be kept secret from ordinary members of the Xiao family, but it could never be kept from Elder Xiao Ming, who had always controlled the family's intelligence network.
That old bastard Xiao Ming has always coveted the position of clan leader, and dreams of having his grandson replace Xiao Yan and become the future heir of the Xiao family.
So he revealed this information to Zhang Yanran.
He knew that Zhang Yanran was an ice-attribute cultivator, and he also knew that the Xuan Yu Life-Giving Flower produced in that ruin was fatally attractive to ice-attribute cultivators.
He was using the life of his clan leader and brother, as well as that supreme divine object, to satisfy Zhang Yanran's greed and secure his own future of power!
As a result, he succeeded.
Driven by greed, Zhang Yanran intercepted and killed Xiao Wu, stealing the divine medicine.
After Xiao Wu's death, Xiao Ming naturally took over the Xiao family and became the new head of the family, even going so far as to hold a grand funeral for Xiao Wu, thus dragging Xiao Yan, who had lost his protection, into the mire.
"What a masterful scheme of using someone else to do one's dirty work! What a fratricidal act!"
Lin Hanzhou slowly released his hand from Zhang Yanran's head, and a terrifying, malevolent aura that seemed capable of utterly destroying the world surged wildly within his chest.
Although he was a reborn emperor, he had experienced ten thousand years of vicissitudes and witnessed the rise and fall of life in the world.
But precisely because of this, what he hates most is betrayal!
That man named Xiao Wu devoted himself to his family and risked his life for his son.
But he did not die in the danger of the ruins, but he died from the vicious scheme of his most trusted kinsman!
Lin Hanzhou originally thought that all he needed to do tonight was to eliminate the elder of the Qinglan Sect and Zhang Yanran, and put an end to the farce of the annulment of the engagement.
But he obviously didn't expect that this matter would involve the Xiao family internally, and even the highest level of power in the Xiao family!
"Looks like I have a lot of people to kill tonight..."
Lin Hanzhou murmured softly, his voice so light it sounded like a sigh, but the overwhelming killing intent contained in his tone instantly lowered the temperature in the spacious luxury room to an absolute freezing point.
After obtaining the information he wanted, he casually annihilated Zhang Yanran's soul, causing her to die on the spot.
Afterwards, Lin Hanzhou searched the man's body again before leaving Lanyue Tower.
Tonight, the Xiao family is destined to have a sleepless night filled with despair and bloodshed.
