Sounding Out Information, Drawing a Sharp Breath

Upon hearing this, the experts from the Ice Clan immediately became alert.

This news sounds very much like Bing Lin and his group are saying.

After all, it's impossible for two powerful teams to suddenly appear in a small Jinshan City in such a short time.

They passed by, but didn't make any significant moves.

After all, the main task now is to conceal ourselves and gather information.

This is just a somewhat similar situation; it cannot be definitively confirmed that it is.

If they expose themselves directly, it will be difficult to find out what's going on now.

"Based on the information we've gathered so far, we can basically deduce that Bing Lin and his group ran into trouble with the Kunlun Alliance."

Inside a guest room at the restaurant, the Great Elder spoke directly.

Although there are Supreme Elder here, they are all there to provide military support.

They usually don't waste their energy on these trivial matters.

After all, becoming Supreme Elder only requires sufficient strength; it doesn't necessarily mean being exceptionally skilled at handling other matters.

To become Great Elder, one must meet this requirement.

Therefore, the meeting is currently being chaired by the Great Elder.

"Then what do we do?"

Upon hearing this question, the Great Elder pondered for a moment before answering directly.

"Let's continue to gather information here for now."

The focus is mainly on the Kunlun Alliance.

As for the rest, we'll make plans after we've gathered all the information."

The Great Elder of the Ice Clan also did not act impulsively.

After all, he wasn't a young lad like Bing Lin; he was naturally more mature in his actions.

The fact that the Kunlun Alliance could make Bing Lin and his group disappear without sending back any messages shows that they must be quite powerful.

He wouldn't recklessly charge in without knowing the enemy's situation.

"Alright."

Upon hearing the Great Elder's suggestion, the others all agreed.

After all, this is indeed a well-thought-out plan.

With their plan in mind, the group wasted no time and left the restaurant to stroll around Jinshan City.

As a large city with Spatial Channel, Jinshan City is quite prosperous.

Even at night, it is the same.

Sometimes, it's even more bustling at night.

After all, some upscale venues are more lively at night.

The Ice Clan's Great Elder and his group were all experts above the Dou Emperor level.

As long as you don't expose yourself and quietly wander around, it's not easy to reveal your identity.

At least for now, none of them have been exposed.

With their formidable strength and rich experience, they were quite at home in Jinshan City.

They obtained the information they wanted without much effort.

This is normal, after all, the Kunlun Alliance had only recently captured Jinshan City.

Even after a full-scale crackdown on the internal rioters, it will still take some time to gain complete control of Jinshan City.

Previously, Bing Lin and his group were just too eye-catching; it was impossible for them not to be remembered.

This kind of information, after being deliberately investigated by several experts, was naturally not a secret.

Having obtained the information they wanted, the group did not head towards the Kunlun Alliance's Headquarters.

They were worried about alerting the enemy and getting themselves involved.

The next day!

The group, who had spent the night wandering and inquiring within Jinshan City, returned to their rooms at the inn.

The restaurant staff didn't find anything strange about these customers who went out at night and returned during the day.

After all, this kind of thing is commonplace for wealthy people.

Nighttime is a paradise for the wealthy.

Moreover, as a service worker, I gained a valuable life lesson from my supervisor on my very first day at work.

Don't be curious!

Only people like this can live a long life.

If someone's curiosity offends a customer, the restaurant won't care even if they get killed.

Inside the room, several elders and the Supreme Elder of the Ice Clan gathered together.

"From what I've received, the disappearance of Bing Lin and the others is related to the Kunlun Alliance."

"After arriving in Jinshan City, they made a very high-profile trip towards the Kunlun Alliance's Headquarters."

Then they completely disappeared!

The Great Elder quickly relayed all the information he had received.

Upon hearing this news, the others were not overly excited.

Because they had also learned similar information.

After all, the Kunlun Alliance simply couldn't hide or cover up what happened that time.

"Most importantly, when Bing Lin and the others disappeared, an extremely powerful pressure emanated from within the Kunlun Alliance's Headquarters."

The Great Elder specifically pointed out this crucial point.

From the information he gathered, he learned that the oppressive aura could be sensed even far from the Kunlun Alliance.

This is definitely not something simple.

"To have such a powerful aura, and to make Bing Lin and his group disappear so mysteriously."

The source of that oppressive aura is very likely a Venerable One.

The Great Elder quickly spoke up, expressing his conjecture.

The other elders were shocked and astonished by the Great Elder's conjecture.

They couldn't believe it at all.

Even in Central Plains, a Venerable One of that level is a very famous figure.

He is definitely one of the top experts in the public eye.

Now the Great Elder is saying that a person who seems to be a Venerable One has appeared in such a small city.

How is that possible?!

However, after careful consideration, the group realized that what the Great Elder said seemed to make some sense.

After all, Bing Lin's team is quite strong.

There were four Dou Zong, plus many Dou Emperors and Dou Wang, and one of them was even Advanced Dou Zong.

Even if they encountered Nine-Star Dou Zong, they would still have a fighting chance.

Even if they couldn't win, it's absolutely impossible that no information was left unsaid.

Coupled with that terrifying pressure, it seems quite reasonable for the Kunlun Alliance to have a Venerable One overseeing things.

Upon realizing this, the group instantly became uneasy.

Even though the Ice Clan reigns supreme in Bingyun City, they are still merely a Dou Zong family.

If it weren't for the support of the Ice River Valley, a Dou Zun force, it would have been quite difficult for them to dominate Bingyun City.

Ordinary Dou Zong forces might be wary of Dou Zun forces like Ice River Valley and wouldn't dare to provoke them.

Rather, with their current strength, they are not afraid of ordinary Dou Zong forces.

However, the situation is completely different when facing Dou Zun expert.

Dou Zun- level expert wouldn't care about the reputation of Ice River Valley.

Even if they don't provoke Ice River Valley, the Ice Clan Bingyun City is ultimately only somewhat related to Ice River Valley.

The ice isn't actually from Ice River Valley.

Even if that hidden Dou Zun makes a move, Ice River Valley is unlikely to offend a Dou Zun expert for the sake of the Ice Clan of Bingyun City.

"We'll head back to Bingyun City first."

Report this information to them.

The Great Elder had no intention of staying any longer.

After all, the Ice Clan has already lost several Dou Zong and Dou Emperor experts. If they were to perish in Jinshan City, the blow to the Ice Clan would be enormous.

They weren't entirely confident either, so naturally they wouldn't risk it here.

They are not those hot-headed, impulsive young people.

As Qingshan, there will always be firewood to burn.

They are very clear about this profound truth.

"Walk!"

The other elders did not object and readily agreed to the Great Elder's proposal.

After all, they were also a little worried that if things really turned out as the Great Elder had guessed, going to the Kunlun Alliance's Headquarters would be like throwing meat buns to a dog—a one-way trip with no return.

Without wasting any time, the group left the restaurant immediately after finishing their discussion.

Without even checking out of their room, they headed straight for the Spatial Channel connecting to Bingyun City.

This is why they didn't go to the Kunlun Alliance's Headquarters; otherwise, they could have been completely certain that there were Dou Zun experts within the Kunlun Alliance.

Because within the Kunlun Alliance's Headquarters, there is a Spatial Channel that Wang Chen Queen Medusa built.

Once they see this thing, they won't be guessing anymore.

After all, Spatial Channel are such advanced devices that only Dou Zun) can manipulate.

Rather, only experts among the Dou Zun, those with a thorough understanding of spatial power, are capable of constructing it.

The appearance of an additional Spatial Channel within the Kunlun Alliance's Headquarters is undeniable proof!

However, because they were worried about potential problems, they did not approach the interior of the Kunlun Alliance's Headquarters.

Therefore, they did not obtain any information about this Spatial Channel.

Furthermore, Wang Chen had just completed the Spatial Channel, and the people inside Jinshan City were completely unaware of it.

Therefore, none of the elders of the Ice Clan found out about this news.

But it's not a big problem.

Based on the information they had, they were able to roughly deduce the basic strength of the Kunlun Alliance.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been in such a hurry to escape.

Although there is a Half-Saint level Heavenly Demon Puppet Headquarters the Kunlun Alliance's base.

But a puppet is still a puppet, and there is a big difference between it and a normal Half-Saint expert.

The elders of the Ice Clan did not come to the Kunlun Alliance's Headquarters, and the attack command of the Half-Saint Heavenly Demon Puppet was not triggered.

Therefore, the Kunlun Alliance was naturally unaware of the whereabouts of the Ice Clan elders.

Furthermore, the Kunlun Alliance had only recently unified Jinshan City, and their control over the Jinshan City was not particularly formidable.

The elders of the Ice Clan are all experts.

With its deliberate concealment, it naturally went unnoticed by the Kunlun Alliance.

However, the problem isn't too serious.

After all, the Kunlun Alliance is currently mainly focused on maintaining internal control.

And they need to quickly develop their personnel so that they can continue their aggressive expansion outwards.

Since the Kunlun Alliance was unaware of the whereabouts of the Ice Clan elders, their return proceeded without any hindrance.

The elders breathed a slight sigh of relief the moment they entered the Spatial Channel.

After all, it was a place where Dou Zun was suspected to be in charge, and it was also the territory of a force that had a conflict with him.

This is so exciting!

Fortunately, everything turned out alright.

After boarding the spaceship, the group didn't waste any more words.

However, deep down, there was not so much peace.

This expedition to Jinshan City to gather intelligence was truly terrifying.

I initially thought it was just a minor character, but little did I know that a great white shark might be lurking beneath the surface.

Fortunately, they managed to leave safely without incident.

What countermeasures to take next will be discussed and decided by the entire family.

It's even possible that they could win over their powerful backer, Ice River Valley, one of the major forces in Central Plains, to join forces.

Of course, these are just temporary thoughts; how to deal with them specifically still needs some time to discuss.

They quickly returned to Bingyun City via the Spatial Channel. Without wasting any time, the elders immediately returned to the Ice Clan and convened a meeting with the upper-level leaders.

"Great Elder, what's going on?"

The current head of the Ice Clan asked the Great Elder.

After all, the Great Elder's actions this time were far too significant.

As the head of the family, he hasn't received any inside information.

At this point, he naturally couldn't help but quietly ask.

However, the Great Elder remained serious and did not answer.

After all the high-ranking officials had arrived, the Great Elder looked at everyone before speaking.

"The main reason I issued this emergency call for everyone to come to this meeting is that I have something important to inform you."

The Great Elder glanced around but didn't continue speaking.

There were about thirty people in the conference room.

Among them, there are as many as fifteen people who are at the Dou Zong.

This is after the loss of three Dou Zong due to the Bing Lin.

Otherwise, there would be even more Dou Zong.

It has to be said that the Ice Clan is indeed quite capable to become the sole overlord of Bingyun City.

Apart from these Dou Zong, the rest were all experts above the advanced Dou Emperor level.

Furthermore, they were all Dou Emperor experts who held key positions and authority within the Ice Clan.

"Our Ice Clan may have offended a Dou Zun power!"

The Great Elder spoke slowly.

But these words were like a thunderbolt, leaving everyone in the conference room speechless.

He seemed to have lost his mind, and didn't utter a single word.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"How could my Ice Clan possibly have provoked such a powerful enemy?!"

After a long while, the head of the Ice Clan finally spoke in disbelief.

"I know everyone thinks it's impossible, but it's true!"

The Great Elder did not hide anything and told everyone about the Bing Lin.

Some people in the conference room knew that Bing Lin had taken several elders to Jinshan City in order to compete for the right of succession within the Ice Clan.

Therefore, not many people were shocked.

However, when the Great Elder revealed the information they had gathered in Jinshan City, everyone was once again stunned.

"How is this possible?!"

Upon hearing the Great Elder's words, the head of the Ice Clan exclaimed in disbelief.

They were able to become powerful figures in the Ice Clan, not necessarily because they were exceptionally intelligent, but certainly not because they were fools.

They all agreed with the Great Elder's analysis.

After all, how could someone who wasn't Dou Zun level expert have eliminated Bing Lin and his group so quickly?

Those were four Dou Zong, plus several Dou Emperors and Dou Wang.

Such a powerful team could not possibly be taken down silently without overwhelming combat strength.
