Mortals cultivate immortality, I have a Chaos Tower

Just as Lin Fan finished speaking, a sneer came from afar. Along with the surging wind, the sky suddenly became gloomy, and an old figure flew in the air, bringing a great sense of oppression.

Elder Xuanbing's cold laughter echoed in the valley, like a biting cold wind sweeping through everyone's heart. Along with this laughter, the sky suddenly became gloomy, dark clouds blocked the afterglow of the setting sun, and the temperature around dropped sharply, as if everything in the world was frozen by the cold. The wind howled in the forest, rolling up the fallen leaves, and the cold air enveloped the entire valley behind the Qingyun Sect.

Lin Fan and his companions looked up and saw a strong wind rising in the distance, and several figures appeared faintly in the clouds. As the strong wind surged, an old figure flew down from the sky, followed by a dozen disciples of Qingyun Sect. Their expressions were serious and cold, and they were obviously the confidants of Elder Xuanbing. Elder Xuanbing was wearing a dark blue robe that rustled in the wind. His whole body was filled with a strong icy aura, and he was like a demon god who walked out of the icy abyss, full of oppression.

"Lin Fan, I didn't expect you to dare to come back." Elder Xuan Bing's voice was cold and mocking, like the frost of winter piercing into people's hearts. His deep eyes were like ice knives, revealing an unfathomable chill. He swept coldly over Lin Fan and his group, as if he had seen through everything about them. "Do you think that you can retake Qingyun Sect with your people? It's simply wishful thinking."

Elder Xuan Bing's eyes were filled with contempt and disdain, and it was obvious that he did not take Lin Fan seriously. Under his control, Qingyun Sect had been firmly in his control for many years, and he was confident that no one could shake his position. In his view, Lin Fan's return was nothing more than courting his own death.

Lin Fan was not afraid at all. He took a step forward and stood at the front of the team. His eyes were firm and cold. He was not suppressed by Elder Xuanbing's momentum at all. His voice was equally cold. "Elder Xuanbing, I came back today to take back my position as the leader of the sect. You have occupied Qingyun Sect for many years. Today, I will put an end to it all." Every word he said was filled with great determination and fighting spirit. He was like a sword drawn from its sheath, with its edge exposed.

Elder Xuan Bing snorted coldly and shook his head in contempt. His laughter was full of sarcasm. "Lin Fan, you are too naive. Ever since I took control of Qingyun Sect, the mountain protection formation has been under my control. Today, no matter how many people you bring, you will never escape."

His words were like ice, carrying a deep threat. Elder Xuanbing raised his right hand slightly, and the cold air in the surrounding air quickly condensed, as if it could mobilize the power of heaven and earth in the next moment to completely crush Lin Fan and his group.

"Do you really think that the mountain protection formation is still in your hands?" Lin Fan raised his lips slightly with a sneer. He knew that today's battle would not be easy, but he was not unprepared. He had already discussed it with Su Tianyu, and Su Tianyu's betrayal would obviously be the most unexpected variable for Elder Xuanbing.

As expected, Elder Xuanbing's gaze shifted from Lin Fan to Su Tianyu. A hint of coldness flashed through his eyes, and his tone was threatening and unquestionable: "Su Tianyu, why are you still standing there? The mountain protection formation is under your control, activate it immediately and completely eliminate them!"

Elder Xuanbing's voice was like a sharp blade, directly forcing Su Tianyu. He obviously did not expect Su Tianyu to rebel at this time. In his opinion, Su Tianyu was just a chess piece in his hand, at his mercy.

However, Su Tianyu resolutely stood beside Lin Fan at this moment, his eyes full of determination and resoluteness. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Elder Xuanbing, I'm sorry, I was Lin Fan's brother, and I'm still his brother now. Don't count on the mountain protection formation."

This sentence exploded like a thunder in the field, and everyone was shocked by Su Tianyu's words. Elder Xuanbing's face instantly became ferocious, and a trace of disbelief and extreme anger flashed in his eyes. Obviously, he did not expect that his confidant of many years would betray him at the critical moment.

"How dare you betray me?" Elder Xuanbing's voice was icy cold, anger burning in his chest, and murderous intent almost solidified. The cold air around him suddenly burst out, as if even the air was frozen, and the temperature around him dropped to freezing point in an instant. The anger in Elder Xuanbing's eyes burned more and more vigorously, and the cold breath with endless murderous intent rushed towards Su Tianyu frantically.

Su Tianyu did not retreat, he stood up straight, his eyes were firm, and he was fearless. As a mountain guardian elder, he should have been one of Elder Xuanbing's most trusted confidants, but today, he chose to return to his previous oath and chose to stand beside Lin Fan.

"Well, in that case, then you all go to hell!" Elder Xuanbing was furious. He swung his right hand suddenly, and an ice-blue light shot out from his palm, instantly turning into dozens of ice blades. With a fierce murderous intent, they rushed straight towards Lin Fan and his group.

Jiang Shuiling took a step forward, her expression complicated. She was once Elder Xuanbing's direct disciple, and although they were now on opposite sides, she still had a little respect for her master in her heart. She knew that today's confrontation was unavoidable, but she still held a glimmer of hope, hoping to persuade Elder Xuanbing to turn back.

“Master…” Jiang Shuiling’s tone was filled with endless sadness. She looked at Elder Xuanbing’s face, which had been corrupted by power and desire, and felt a surge of pain in her heart. “I used to be your disciple. Today I just hope that you can turn back and stop being an enemy of Lin Fan. Qingyun Sect was once our home, and we shouldn’t be caught up in a power struggle.”

Her voice was particularly gentle in the cold air, like a beam of warm light trying to penetrate the cold darkness. Jiang Shuiling's eyes were full of sincerity, and deep in her heart she still hoped that Elder Xuanbing would repent and stop all this unnecessary killing.

However, upon hearing this, Elder Xuan Bing raised a sarcastic sneer at the corner of his mouth, and a trace of disdain and contempt flashed in his eyes. "It's never too late to turn back?" He sneered, his voice full of mockery and arrogance, "Hahaha, Jiang Shuiling, you are still so naive! Do you think that a few words can make me give up the control of Qingyun Sect? How foolish!"

There was undisguised contempt in his eyes, as if Jiang Shuiling's request was nothing more than a child's wishful thinking in his eyes. "Do you think you can solve the problem by relying on mercy and forgiveness? The Qingyun Sect is now under my control, and power and strength determine everything! Forgiveness without strength is just incompetent cowardice!"

Elder Xuan Bing's voice became increasingly cold, and murderous intent continued to gather in his body. Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his right palm, and a powerful icy force gathered in his palm. In an instant, a sharp cold air rushed towards Jiang Shuiling like an overwhelming force. The cold air pierced the air like thousands of ice needles, and attacked the defenseless Jiang Shuiling!

"Master——!" Jiang Shuiling screamed. She hadn't recovered from her grief yet, and the attack was already very close. Elder Xuanbing's attack was extremely ruthless, without any mercy. The icy palm force contained the powerful force of his peak Nascent Soul stage, enough to completely defeat a cultivator.

The defenseless Jiang Shuiling only felt an extremely powerful force attacking her. The icy cold instantly invaded her body. She was hit by this powerful palm force and flew out like a kite with a broken string. The cold instantly blocked her meridians. She didn't even have time to react before she fell heavily to the ground and fell unconscious.

"Shui Ling!" Lin Fan witnessed this scene, and his anger instantly exploded, his eyes burning with murderous intent. He was always calm and composed, but at this moment, seeing Jiang Shui Ling's serious injury, his heart seemed to be ignited with a flame, and his anger soared to the sky.

Jiang Shuiling was one of his most important partners, and his long-time protector and friend. Now that she was seriously injured and lying on the ground, Lin Fan's heart was filled with uncontrollable anger and murderous intent. He took a step forward and stood in front of Jiang Shuiling, staring at Elder Xuanbing with lightning-like eyes, and said in a low and coercive voice: "You, are looking for death!"

These three simple words carried endless murderous intent, as if they contained the most terrifying power in the world. Lin Fan's figure was like an unshakable mountain at this moment, standing opposite Elder Xuanbing with an imposing manner.

Elder Xuan Bing smiled coldly, not taking Lin Fan's anger seriously. In his opinion, Lin Fan was just a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core stage, while he was already at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and could break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage at any time. His strength was unmatched, and he didn't need to fear anyone.

“Lin Fan, you are just an ant trying to shake a tree.” Elder Xuan Bing’s tone was filled with endless contempt and indifference. “Do you think you can fight me with these small fry? You are really too naive!”
