Free Web NovelChapter 2607: Chapter 2607: When He Steps Up to Deal With Me, the Opportunity Arrives!
Carson Flores understood.
This Diagram is truly massive!
Just being a bystander nearly choked me to death.
Master Zane of the Cave’s real name is Snow Zane. Her master is Lilianna Moses’s mother, so Snow Zane and Lilianna Moses are more or less sister disciples. Lilianna Moses’s mother was severely injured on a certain day and returned, dying shortly afterward.
Lilianna Moses inherited her mother’s position as the Lord of Ice and Snow City, and following her mother’s medical advice, supported the current Ten Thousand Immortals Hall Master, who wasn’t yet a Quasi-Saint at the time, while Snow Zane possibly left Ice Snow City to find the real reason for her master’s death.
Through Snow Zane’s investigation, she uncovered the relationship between the Ten Thousand Immortals Hall Master and the previous Lord of Ice and Snow City, learned about the cultivation technique of the Ten Thousand Immortals Hall Master, found out his breakthrough time, and might have even discovered some concrete evidence.
Everything pointed to one possibility, which is that the Ten Thousand Immortals Hall Master, who practiced the Heartless Art, had to extinguish his heart’s desires for a breakthrough to become a Quasi-Saint, and the former Lord of Ice and Snow City whom he deeply loved but was unable to attain naturally became his Heart Demon.
To tread the path of becoming a Quasi-Saint, he chose to personally kill his beloved, severing his final heart’s desire, and smoothly advanced to Quasi-Saint shortly after.
Why didn’t the old City Lord reveal the truth to Lilianna Moses and Snow Zane?
Carson Flores privately speculated that perhaps the old City Lord understood that after the Ten Thousand Immortals Hall Master personally killed her, he would break through to Quasi-Saint. If she had let her daughter and disciple know the truth, wouldn’t they be going to their deaths by seeking revenge?
Since the old City Lord wasn’t directly killed, but stayed alive for a while before dying, it is likely that she reached an understanding with the Ten Thousand Immortals Hall Master while being fatally injured.
Her death was inevitable, so she helped him cover up the truth to maintain his reputation, and in return, he had to take good care of Ice Snow City and her daughter.
Thus, under such a deal, the old City Lord concealed the truth from her daughter and disciple, passed away peacefully, and everything developed as she hoped.
The daughter became the Lord of Ice and Snow City, Ice Snow City became one of the Twelve Immortal Gates of the Celestial Palace, backed by the Myriad Immortals Palace, and no one dared offend Ice Snow City, truly without worries for a lifetime.
The old City Lord didn’t account for her disciple’s disobedience, insisting on uncovering the truth behind her death, seeking revenge, and after overcoming hardships, growing strong enough to challenge the Myriad Immortals Palace and finally discover the truth of her death!
Brilliant!
Spectacular!
Evidently, Carson Flores understood; as the City Lord, Lilianna Moses surely understood too.
Seeing Lilianna Moses, previously frenzied, now looking defeated, Carson Flores couldn’t help feeling some sympathy for her.
Too tragic.
Her own mother was harmed by someone, yet she stayed loyal to the mother’s murderer all this time.
After a while, Lilianna Moses raised her head, red-eyed, staring hard at Snow Zane: "All these years you have been investigating this matter?"
Snow Zane coldly nodded: "I’ve been searching for an important witness for a very long time, finally found them, and only then fully understood the truth—actually, I’ve known about this for quite some time."
Lilianna Moses retorted furiously: "And now you choose to tell me?"
Snow Zane said indifferently: "Time has passed so long, long enough that I have to look at the Soulmirror Stone to recall the old look of my master. You’re probably the same; so what if you know?"
Lilianna Moses glared at Snow Zane, seemingly wishing to say something but ultimately failed to express anything.
Snow Zane said calmly: "She asked you to peacefully become the City Lord, follow him loyally—this was her last request. Doing so fulfils her wishes; why should I plunge you into suffering?"
"Perhaps you wish to avenge your mother, but do you have the capability? You know best how powerful the Myriad Immortals Palace is. Knowing the truth, yet being unable to act, unable to let go..."
Lilianna Moses gritted her teeth and questioned: "Then why did you suddenly decide today to come and tell me this truth?"
Snow Zane pointed at her own face: "I paid an enormous price to become stronger—I look like this now; if I don’t do something, wouldn’t that price be trashed?"
"Because I am ready to wage war against the Myriad Immortals Palace, I came today to tell you the truth, wishing you to stay aside—don’t stupidly help the enemy against me. I am not afraid; after all, it would simply mean killing some more people. But Ice Snow City is my master’s labor; I don’t want it ruined by you."
Lilianna Moses asked: "What are you planning to do?"
Snow Zane responded: "In direct confrontation, I’m naturally not a match for the Myriad Immortals Palace—not him, even his many Great Land Prime Immortals underlings could overwhelm me. So I’m planning to first clip his claws, while catching more War Slaves along the way to boost my side’s combat power."
"Perhaps now I can’t sway the Myriad Immortals Palace, but when their claws are cut off one by one, and each faction in the Myriad Immortals Palace is alarmed, he will have to deal with me personally—that’s when my opportunity arises..."
