Chapter 1452 - 1451: Zhang Bin's Deadly Poison Plot

"This way, please..."

Hopski wore an indifferent expression as he led Zhang Bin and Luopu Youdao to an Ice Palace.

This Ice Palace was peculiar, towering into the sky with a majestic aura.

It emitted an overwhelmingly terrifying icy aura.

There were no windows, only two large main doors and a side door.

Ancient reliefs adorned the doors, depicting dragons, Suan Ni, giants, among others.

"This is our Snow Mountain Sect's Hall of Inheritance," Hopski said. "To receive the inheritance, you must enter inside. Let me remind you, you must have the cold ice attribute to enter safely."

"Luopu Youdao, tell me, what's so formidable about this place?"

Zhang Bin could deduce with a mere thought that accepting the inheritance wouldn't be easy and could be dangerous.

Therefore, he sent his question telepathically.

"Report, Master, the Snow Mountain Sect is a major sect, a top sect in our White Swan Country. As for how their inheritance works, whether it's dangerous, I truly don't know," Luopu Youdao replied telepathically.

He wished nothing more than for Zhang Bin to perish here; how could he reveal even the slightest information?

"Hahaha..."

Zhang Bin, on the other hand, secretly let out a sinister laugh, because with just that sentence from Luopu Youdao, he realized that the inheritance of the Snow Mountain Sect was extraordinarily dangerous, and if he wasn't careful, he could suffer a significant loss, or even fall.

Otherwise, Luopu Youdao would have certainly shared some information to curry favor with Zhang Bin.

Therefore, Zhang Bin inwardly raised his guard and turned his gaze to Hopski's face, coldly asking, "How do we receive the inheritance? Is there no explanation?"

"It's very simple, just walk up to the door, push it open, enter, and you'll naturally receive the inheritance."

Hopski appeared harmless to humans and animals alike.

"Hopski, if one's heart harbors evil intentions and veers off the path, then they've essentially buried their future. Their ascension to the Immortal Realm would be nothing more than a bursting bubble," Zhang Bin coldly warned Hopski.

Although the Heaven-Man Resonance didn't signal any deadly danger, from these circumstances, Hopski seemed ill-intentioned.

Hence, he warned him.

"Sect Leader Zhang, rest assured, with your strength, what danger would you fear? I wouldn't dare play any tricks,"

Hopski said sincerely.

"Even if it's a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, I'll storm it,"

Zhang Bin muttered to himself.

He stepped towards the grand hall.

"Crunch, crunch, crunch..."

He left a trail of deep footprints on the ground.

And they became progressively deeper.

Because Zhang Bin felt an incredibly terrifying invisible force acting on him, weighing down his body with an unimaginable heaviness. The closer he got to the great hall, the stronger the invisible force became.

If he hadn't cultivated numerous magical techniques to their peak.

He truly wouldn't have been able to make it across.

Finally, Zhang Bin reached a point a hundred paces from the hall.

A look of surprise flashed across his face because the snow on the ground was initially a continuous sheet.

Without any trace.

However, when he reached this point, deep footprints suddenly appeared on the snow.

Exactly a hundred steps.

Hence, a hundred paces from the hall.

"You must step into the footprints; you can't tread anywhere else," Hopski said coldly from afar. "However, you can try, after all, you're very strong."

Zhang Bin's pupils began to contract because he sensed terrifying cold air rushing toward him.

The snow in front of him wasn't ordinary; it seemed crafted by a master who had honed the Ice-cold Dao Technique to perfection, capable of freezing anything, capable of killing any cultivator.

Only within the footprints did it not emit an overly terrifying cold aura.

Evidently, Hopski was speaking the truth.

But even if Hopski hadn't said anything, Zhang Bin could have judged it himself.

Zhang Bin steadied himself and stepped forward, setting his foot into the first footprint.

Then his body swayed slightly, and his face turned pale.

Because an extreme icy chill surged from all directions,

invisible and formless, it madly assaulted his body, making him feel a bone-chilling cold.

It seemed even his soul was numbed.

"How formidable!"

Zhang Bin secretly marveled, but he didn't pause, taking another step, and set his other foot into the second footprint.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."

A terrifying sound echoed as the incredibly dense white frigid air burst forth from the snow and the walls of the Ice Palace, engulfing Zhang Bin.

Zhang Bin was like a lotus leaf in the wind, continuously swaying.

On the verge of collapse.

"Hehehe..."

"Gagaga..."

"Xixixi..."

"..."

Many cultivators of the Snow Mountain Sect, including Hopski, began to laugh sinisterly.

An extreme murderous aura erupted from their bodies.

Even Luopu Youdao's face was filled with an unmistakable glee that couldn't be hidden.

Because they were all convinced that Zhang Bin was doomed this time!

The inheritance of the Snow Mountain Sect was not simple; not everyone could accept it.

You must have an excellent cold ice attribute, naturally unafraid of cold.

The most terrifying part was, this palace had two doors, a main door, and a side door.

The side door also allowed inheritance, with much simpler tests.

Thus, the cultivators from the Snow Mountain Sect always entered through the side door, with the great hall bestowing different levels of cultivation techniques based on performance.

The main door, however, was for receiving the highest level of inheritance.

One must have cultivated the Ice God Technique to perfection or at least to the peak of the Ascension Realm to attempt the main door.

And to truly enter and receive the highest-level Ice God Technique, one must have reached the Ascension Realm Great Perfection.

Zhang Bin, having never cultivated the Ice God Technique, started with the main door, which was akin to courting death.

This was their poisonous scheme.

A scheme to eliminate Zhang Bin here.

If Zhang Bin was killed by the Hall of Inheritance of the Snow Mountain Sect, they wouldn't be accountable.

And all the treasures on Zhang Bin's body would, of course, belong to them.

It was a devious and well-calculated plan.

"Truly formidable, the Ice System Law can indeed be this powerful. It's capable of destroying everything."

Zhang Bin muttered internally, but his face showed delight.

Because the more formidable and magical the inheritance, the stronger he would become after obtaining it.

He could then overcome numerous dangerous crises!

"Boom..."

Almost simultaneously, all of Zhang Bin's True Qi in his Dantian activated, circulating rapidly through his meridians, especially the Solar True Qi and Fire Attribute Qi, circulating like lightning and fire.

It emitted a sound similar to that of the Yangtze River and a great river.

His body also emitted overwhelming oppression and aura.

In an instant, Zhang Bin was no longer trembling, standing steadfastly like a towering mountain.

Step, step, step...

Zhang Bin took three consecutive steps.

The ground trembled, the heavens and earth shook.

The Ice Palace also quaked...
