A Conspiracy Against Xiao Han

After Xiao Han accepted the invitation from the Lin Branch to participate in the Ice God Ceremony, he was immediately arranged to stay in the Lin Branch's territory.

To his surprise, his life was uneventful for several days. He spent his days cultivating in his room. Without his permission, no one from the Lin Branch dared to disturb him, and there was no trouble from other main or branch lines as he had suspected.

Since his opponent was willing to give him some peace and quiet, Xiao Han was happy to have some free time.

Unbeknownst to Xiao Han, a conspiracy targeting him and Lin Branch is slowly unfolding behind the scenes.

In the Ice Spirit Race's territory, amidst the towering buildings and complex architecture, this small four-story building was inconspicuous.

At this moment, the vast majority of the geniuses of the Ice Spirit Race have gathered in this nameless little building.

"Bang!"

The two leaders sighed inwardly as they watched the burly man swagger in from outside. No matter how many times they had seen this face, they still couldn't treat him as one of their own.

He casually pulled over a chair, sat down with an air of impatience, and said in a muffled Bing Lingkun:

"Bing Huiyan, Bing Jingyu, tell me, what do you two want with me?"

Rude!

Seeing Bing Lingkun's attitude, the man and woman couldn't help but frown and make their own judgments.

Perhaps due to his years of wandering outside the Ice Spirit Race, Bing Lingkun's daily behavior and conduct were completely unlike that of a main branch of an ancient clan. Instead, he was as vulgar as a low-level mercenary in the Great Thousand World, completely out of step with the nobility of the Ice Spirit Race.

If the other party were not exceptionally strong and not the Young Master of the Soaring Branch, he would never have been invited to this meeting.

Bing Lingkun naturally realized that he was unpopular, but he did not change his mind at all. For him, strength and victory were the most important things, rather than clinging to the so-called glory and etiquette of Ancient Races.

Because of their differing ideologies, the atmosphere at the beginning of the meeting was already tense. If they didn't share a common enemy, they would have been locked in a fierce battle to the death.

The almost frozen air was suddenly broken by a soft cough. Looking in the direction of the sound, it was Bing Lingye, who was always by Bing Lingkun's side. The latter smiled slightly:

"Since the two Young Masters have been willing to invite our Young Master here, it must be about the matter of the Lin Branch. Why don't we all sit down and have a proper discussion?"

Upon hearing this, Bing Huiyan and Bing Jingyu both snorted coldly and withdrew their imposing aura.

As for Bing Lingkun, in non-combat situations, Bing Lingye always followed the advice of his strategist Bing Lingye, whose work style and competence had never disappointed him, so he put aside the controversy.

"Now that everyone is here, let me say a few words."

The first to stand up was Bing Jingyu. As the Young Master the Crystal Branch, Bing Jingyu's image undoubtedly better suited the aesthetic preferences of the Ice Spirit Race.

Her snow-white skin would make any woman envious; her crystal-blue eyes were gentle and warm; a polite smile always graced her lips; and she held a folding fan in her hand, exuding the air of a refined gentleman and great affability.

Only those who know Bing Jingyu well, such as Bing Huiyan and Bing Lingkun, can understand the aloofness and coldness hidden beneath Bing Jingyu's gentle exterior.

Since Bing Jingyu was willing to step forward, the others were happy to see it happen and all adopted a listening-only attitude.

"First, let's talk about the identity of that mysterious powerful figure from the Lin Branch."

As he spoke, Bing Jingyu casually conjured a light screen, on which Xiao Han's image appeared.

"This person's name is Xiao Han."

"Strength unknown."

"The Northern Azure Spiritual Academy first appeared on the Northern Azure Continent three years ago. It is preliminarily speculated that it is related to the destruction of the Dragon Demon Palace, the rival of the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy, and should be a powerful being from Lower Plane."

"It appears that he owns a small Chamber of Commerce called Han Yi Merchant Guild."

Other information remains a mystery.

After listening to Bing Jingyu's account, everyone felt that Xiao Han's image was gradually becoming clearer in their minds...

Damn it!

Everyone's lips twitched. Could this stuff even be considered intelligence?

Isn't this equivalent to revealing the other party's birth date and background in the Great Thousand World?

You didn't mention anything about anything related to strength!

The only somewhat useful point, related to the destruction of the Dragon Demon Palace, is completely irrelevant; everyone on the field can easily do that.

Those below were inwardly grumbling, unaware that Bing Jingyu was also in great distress at that moment.

Xiao Han has only been in the Great Thousand World for a short time and has no representative combat experience. Moreover, he is extremely mysterious and always lives a secluded life, even when he goes out, he always goes alone.

It was an absolute secret within the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy. Apart from a few high-ranking members, the vast majority of instructors and students had no idea that this person existed. How could he possibly get to the bottom of this?

As for Xiao Han's major undertaking of destroying the Shadow Demon Sect, which could barely be considered a major event, the only people who knew about it were the Immortal Fox Fairy Sect Elder and Fox Fairy Sect Leader who participated at the time, as well as Yang Qianshan, the second-in-command of the Han Yi Merchant Guild. They simply couldn't have entered the vision of a high-ranking Young Master like Bing Jingyu.

Just as the situation reached a stalemate, Bing Huiyan glanced at Bing Lingkun, who could barely contain his smile, and said with a radiant smile:

"What? It seems Young Master Bing Lingkun has something to say!"

Then he looked like he suddenly understood.

"Indeed!"

"I heard that Young Master Bing Lingkun fought with Xiao Han a few days ago!"

"May I?"

"Could you tell me about Sir Xiao Han?"

Bing Huiyan's words immediately drew everyone's attention to Bing Lingkun. The latter snapped out of his earlier euphoria of being the only one sober in a world of drunks and cursed inwardly upon hearing her sarcastic remarks.

Seeing that the external brain didn't object, Bing Lingkun slammed his hand on the table, destroying it, and coldly snorted.

"Bing Huiyan, you don't need to put on this fake act."

"I will naturally tell you."

"Then please!" Bing Huiyan gestured for them to proceed, her smile unchanged.

Bing Jingyu moved aside, returned to his original seat, and cast an inquiring glance at him.

"I have nothing to say," Bing Lingkun said quickly, his tone somber.

"Just two points."

"First, Xiao Han's cultivation level should be at the Upper Earthly Supreme, but he has the ability to unleash the power of Great Perfection Earthly Supreme in a short period of time."

"Secondly, he's skilled with a gun, and it seems he still has some trump cards up his sleeve."

"That's all for now."

He decisively revealed all the information Bing Lingye had provided to him, and returned to his seat with an air of indifference.

"Upper Earthly Supreme? He can still unleash the power of Great Perfection Earthly Supreme... This is troublesome!"

"Really."

"..."

Bing Lingkun's intelligence was clearly much more valuable, and soon people began to discuss Xiao Han's strength, though there was no anxiety in their words.

In their eyes, Xiao Han could only be described as having "good strength," but his luck was not good, and he was too overconfident, actually trying to fight against almost the entire Ice Spirit Race.

Reality will soon teach him a lesson.

This is a common understanding among everyone, even the cautious Bing Huiyan and others.

However, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.

Out of caution, they decided to give each other the utmost attention.

A chilling glint flashed in the eyes of Bing Huiyan and the others.
