This feeling was as if a massive conspiracy was unfolding against her, and yet she had no understanding of it. She stood there dumbfounded, waiting for everything to engulf her.
At this moment, Lan Qingyan felt that Baili Hongzhuang before her was somewhat unfathomable. No matter how hard she racked her brain, she couldn't figure out what the problem was.
Baili Hongzhuang had never had any connection with the Lan family!
This feeling made her extremely uncomfortable, especially when Baili Hongzhuang refused to speak frankly.
The tense atmosphere gradually dissipated after the mystery surrounding Lan Qingyan. In fact, Lan Qingyan also understood that if it weren't for Baili Hongzhuang's three contracted beasts, they would still have a certain chance of winning in a four against three battle.
However, Lan Qingyan had already witnessed the strength of those three contracted beasts, and after such a long time, their strength must have improved.
Once they fought, with the three contracted beasts harassing them on the side, it would be difficult for them to win.
It was a pity that only a limited number of people could enter the Ice and Snow Divine Pool. Otherwise, she would have taught Baili Hongzhuang a lesson right here.
But for now, there was no rush. Once they were out of the Ice and Snow Divine Pool, she would have plenty of opportunities!
Seeing that Lan Qingyan had obediently kept her mouth shut, Baili Hongzhuang no longer paid her any attention and closed her eyes to continue cultivation.
The power of the Ice and Snow Divine Pool was of great assistance to her body. The more she absorbed, the more benefits she would reap in the future.
Di Beichen and Mo Yunjue also resumed their cultivation. Given the current situation, Lan Qingyan couldn't stir up any waves.
The Ice and Snow Divine Pool returned to tranquility, with only the faint sound of breathing and the ripples in the water...
...
"Have you noticed Jing Kuang's recent actions?" Lan Hongtai turned around to look at Lan Borong behind him, his voice low and hoarse.
"Jing Kuang has been investigating Baili Hongzhuang's background and identity everywhere lately, and the Second Elder and others have been actively buying people's hearts. Initially, Jing Kuang planned to elect the Young Master as the Clan Lord after he returned from the Battle of the Beast Arena, but due to the poor results, he temporarily gave up on that idea. Now, I'm afraid Jing Kuang has sensed a threat and has chosen to expedite his actions."
Lan Borong slowly revealed the information he had recently learned to Lan Hongtai. Previously, Lan Hongtai had no interest in the affairs of the clan and paid no attention, even when Jing Kuang was buying people's hearts. But now, the situation had changed, and he started to take an active interest in these matters.
"It seems he can't restrain himself any longer." Lan Hongtai chuckled lightly and shook his head. He used to think that he knew nothing about his son, Jing Kuang, but after all these years, he had gained a better understanding of Jing Kuang's approach.
Power was something Jing Kuang could never let go of.
Perhaps that was why Lan Yunxiao's cultivation always surpassed Jing Kuang's, because Jing Kuang was too distracted.
"Not only that, Yue Siqing has also begun seclusion recently. She stays in her room and is secretly concocting something that nobody can see. However, our people noticed that Jing Kuang had sent medicinal ingredients to Yue Siqing."
