“What on earth is going on?” Li Youbing rubbed her slightly reddened forehead from the impact, looking at Fang Lin with a face full of grief and indignation.

Fang Lin shrugged, “I have no idea, but it looks like we’ve all been trapped in here.”

Li Youbing was on the verge of going crazy. If it weren’t for Fang Lin’s nonsensical chatter, how could they have been conned into coming here? Now, she couldn’t use her Inner Strength and couldn’t get out at all.

Was he even human? Was there anyone this despicable? She didn’t provoke him, how could Fang Lin harm people like this?

The dozen or so members of the Li Family were also furious, wishing they could throw caution to the wind and fight Fang Lin to death. What was all this? They had absolutely no ill-intent; they were totally deceived into this by Fang Lin.

“Fang Lin, your end is near!” Li Youbing couldn’t describe her anger at the moment, and any words seemed pale in comparison, so she could only roar at him.

Fang Lin had a face of indifference, while Qing Jianzi and Yang Pojun felt somewhat sorry.

Even though Li Youbing was from the Li Family, convincing her to come in like this was a bit too much.

But now that she was in, there was no helping it, it had to go this way.

“Ah, you really don’t understand my good intentions. When Li Tongtian comes, you’ll understand.” Fang Lin said with a deep and profound tone.

Li Youbing wanted to swear out loud, but as a Talent of the Li Family, she didn’t want to lose face, so she gritted her teeth and said, “If you want to harm Li Tongtian, just do it. Why did you have to deceive us too? What good does that do you?”

Fang Lin shrugged, “Li Tongtian will definitely come here. If he sees you here, he will surely let his guard down. Then you can communicate with him and deceive him into coming in. We’ll stay hidden, and when the time comes, we’ll team up to slaughter him.”

At these words, Li Youbing looked at Fang Lin in disbelief. This little fellow was only in his teens, how could he be so malicious, and have such terrifying thoughts?

“No way! I will never help you, especially not to harm someone from my own Li Family.” Li Youbing flatly refused.

Fang Lin sighed, “What’s the matter with you, why are you so stubborn? Slaughtering Li Tongtian has many benefits for both of us.”

Li Youbing turned her head away, she was so angry that she didn’t want to hear anything Fang Lin had to say.

Fang Lin didn’t mind and just started talking to himself on the side.

“You see, in the Li Family, although your status is high, your talent is obviously not as good as Li Tongtian’s. If he continues to climb higher, he might even take the position of the Family Head. What about you? You’re a woman and will marry eventually. But what if we slay Li Tongtian? You’ll be more valued in the Li Family. And since Li Tongtian wanted to sacrifice you before, you have every reason to slay him. Once we go into the Ice Palace and get some benefits, we could share them with you, 30% for you. Wouldn’t that make everyone happy?” Fang Lin rambled on, but Li Youbing didn’t pay much attention to his speech.

Seeing that Li Youbing was not responsive, Fang Lin turned to a more sinister method. He walked over to the side and discussed something in a low voice with Qing Jianzi and Yang Pojun.

After listening to what Fang Lin said, both Qing Jianzi and Yang Pojun were looking at him with strange expressions, especially Yang Pojun, who looked shocked.

“Ahem, Fang Lin, is this plan really a good idea?” Qing Jianzi was also hesitant.

Fang Lin smirked, “I think this plan is really good. Although it’s somewhat despicable, there’s no other way. If we don’t get rid of Li Tongtian, we won’t have peace of mind, right? Now that Li Youbing is here, we have to take advantage of her to kill Li Tongtian. We might not have such an opportunity in the future.”

Qing Jianzi was still hesitant, but Yang Pojun seemed to have been convinced by Fang Lin and nodded, “Indeed, the opportunity is rare. We must get rid of Li Tongtian, otherwise we’ll be constrained in everything we do.”

Seeing Yang Pojun and Fang Lin looking at each other with understanding, Qing Jianzi knew they were determined to do it. He didn’t say anything more and just went with the flow.

Qing Jianzi and Yang Pojun each went to command the members of the Purple Mist Sect and the royal family, forcibly subduing the dozen or so people from the Li Family. They were tied up and were given the Deaf Mute Pill, which would make them deaf and blind for the next 24 hours.

Li Youbing was angry beyond measure, but she was helpless. Not only could she not use her Inner Strength, but they were also outnumbered and she couldn’t resist at all.

“What do you want exactly? Why are you harming them?” Li Youbing pointed at Fang Lin, questioning him while trembling slightly.

Fang Lin wore a face of innocence, “Calm down, I didn’t harm their lives, just made them temporarily quiet.”

Li Youbing looked at Fang Lin with resentment, but said nothing.

“Ahem, but you must cooperate with our actions. Otherwise, I will slaughter them all.” Fang Lin scratched his nose and added.

Li Youbing understood, she fully understood. They were threatening her with the lives of more than a dozen members of the Li Family.

At this moment, Li Youbing really wanted to slap herself. Why did she believe in Fang Lin’s nonsense and come inside?

Now, her kinsmen had been subdued, their lives completely under Fang Lin’s control. If she didn’t cooperate with their actions and kill Li Tongtian, she feared the lives of these dozen clansmen couldn’t be saved.

Li Youbing felt like crying but couldn’t shed any tears. She couldn’t bear to watch her clansmen die a tragic death. “I promise you!” Li Youbing almost gritted her teeth as she said these four words.

Fang Lin nodded with a grin, and patted Li Youbing’s shoulder, “You do have potential.”

Li Youbing really wanted to stab a sword through Fang Lin’s face. How could someone be so devious and shameless? Fang Lin, a well-known Alchemy Tao prodigy, could come up with such a despicable plan, which was completely unexpected.

After pausing for a moment, Fang Lin added, “Don’t worry, we only need to get rid of Li Tongtian. As for the other people from the Li Family, considering your feelings, we won’t do anything to them.”

Upon hearing these words, Li Youbing looked at Fang Lin and said, “I don’t know if I can trust you anymore.”

The smile on Fang Lin’s face disappeared instantly, replaced by a layer of indifference: “Do you have a choice?”

Li Youbing gave a bitter smile, yes, did she have a choice? She was now at their mercy.

Li Tongtian, accompanied by more than twenty Li family disciples, arrived in front of the Ice Palace.

“Look, it’s Li Youbing!” one of the Li family disciples exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Li Tongtian looked and saw Li Youbing covered in blood, as if she had just come out of the Ice Palace.

“Help, help me!” Li Youbing, with anticipation and urgency in her eyes, stumbled towards Li Tongtian and his group.
