After Xuanyuan Wudi broke through to the Great Sage Realm, he began to have evil intentions towards the Patriarch of the Xuanyuan Clan. However, this momentum was expected. Anyway, Chen Ling knew very well that Xuanyuan Wudi had always been a very ambitious person. Moreover, he would do anything to achieve his goals.
Before his cultivation had broken through to the Great Saint Realm, Xuanyuan Wudi might have been able to restrain the evil thoughts in his heart, but after his cultivation had broken through and he had become a Great Saint Emperor, he naturally couldn't restrain the evil thoughts in his heart.
They were both The Great Sage. Why couldn't Xuanyuan Wudi become the Patriarch of the Xuanyuan Clan? Therefore, after Xuanyuan Wudi broke through to the Great Saint Realm, he began to think of ways to seize the position of Patriarch.
If he wanted to succeed, he first had to get rid of Xuanyuan Songtao. If Xuanyuan Songtao didn't die, Xuanyuan Wudi would never be able to become the Patriarch of the Xuanyuan Clan.
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Wudi also began to plan. After spending a lot of effort, Xuanyuan Wudi found a stalk of Nirvana Grass.
The Nirvana Grass was a Peak Saint Realm Spiritual Herb. It had no use, but it was extremely poisonous. Even The Great Sage would find it difficult to resist.
With the Nirvana Grass, Xuanyuan Wudi extracted the poison from it and found an opportunity to feed it to Xuanyuan Songtao.
After consuming the Nirvana Grass, Xuanyuan Songtao's combat strength was immediately reduced. He could only use less than ten percent of his combat strength.
Under such circumstances, Xuanyuan Wudi naturally chose to attack without mercy. He was prepared to kill Xuanyuan Songtao in one fell swoop.
Although Xuanyuan Wudi trusted Xuanyuan Songtao very much, Xuanyuan Songtao was not on guard at all. However, when he discovered that he was poisoned, it was already too late.
With the poison in his body, he was naturally no match for Xuanyuan Wudi. However, Xuanyuan Wudi did not expect Xuanyuan Songtao to suddenly take out an ice coffin at the moment of his death. Then, his entire body lay in the ice coffin.
Moreover, at the last moment, Xuanyuan Songtao used the last of his strength to send the key to the ice coffin and the jade that recorded the truth to the ancient ruins that only he and Chen Ling knew about.
It was because of this that Chen Ling knew what had happened back then and obtained the key to the ice coffin.
Xuanyuan Songtao didn't die. Because of the ice coffin, Xuanyuan Wudi couldn't do anything to Xuanyuan Songtao.
It was unknown where Xuanyuan Songtao had obtained this ice coffin. Even The Great Sage could not break it. Over the years, Xuanyuan Wudi had tried countless methods to break it, but to no avail. It was useless against the ice coffin.
After countless attempts, Xuanyuan Wudi finally came to a conclusion. Unless he had the key, it was impossible to open the hotel.
Unable to kill Xuanyuan Songtao, Xuanyuan Wudi also tried to find the whereabouts of the key. However, the Central World was a big shot. Who knew where Xuanyuan Songtao had hidden the key?
After a fruitless search, Xuanyuan Wudi could only hide Xuanyuan Songtao, who had fallen into a state of suspended animation, and the ice coffin. He then announced that Xuanyuan Songtao was dead, and in the end, he became the patriarch of the Xuanyuan clan.
If Chen Ling hadn't gone to the ancient ruins, no one would have known about this. Xuanyuan Songtao would probably have slept in the ice coffin forever.
Chen Ling was very close to Xuanyuan Songtao. The two of them were like father and son. As a result, Chen Ling did not hesitate at all after learning about this. He hurried to the Xuanyuan clan as soon as possible and prepared to save Xuanyuan Songtao.
He followed his memory all the way to the depths of the Xuanyuan clan's manor. Along the way, Chen Ling captured a guard and asked about Xuanyuan Wudi's residence.
He was not discovered along the way. Of course, this was also because there were no experts in the Xuanyuan clan right now. Otherwise, Chen Ling would not have been able to sneak into the manor under normal circumstances.
Soon, he arrived at Xuanyuan Wudi's residence and directly leapt in. Because Xuanyuan Wudi was not in the Xuanyuan clan right now, he was in the Haotian Alliance, so there was naturally no one in his residence. As for the servants and maids, they were not a problem for Chen Ling at all. He easily dealt with them.
Without drawing anyone's attention, Chen Ling killed all the guards and maids in the Xuanyuan clan's cave. He ignored the corpses on the ground and began to search for Xuanyuan Songtao's whereabouts.
Since Xuanyuan Wudi had secretly killed Xuanyuan Songtao, Xuanyuan Wudi definitely could not let others know about this, including the people of the Xuanyuan clan.
After all, Xuanyuan Songtao's prestige in the Xuanyuan clan was extremely high. If the clansmen of the Xuanyuan clan found out that Xuanyuan Songtao had been killed by Xuanyuan Wudi, then there would probably be many who refused to accept Xuanyuan Wudi as the patriarch.
So, this matter could only be kept a secret to Xuanyuan Wudi. Since it was like that, it was absolutely impossible for Xuanyuan Wudi to imprison Xuanyuan Songtao in the Xuanyuan clan's dungeon. In this way, Xuanyuan Wudi's abode was naturally the best place.
After all, as the patriarch of the clan, not just anyone could enter Xuanyuan Wudi's abode. It was even to the extent that without Xuanyuan Wudi's orders, even the three elders couldn't enter Xuanyuan Wudi's abode at will.
In this way, this was clearly the best place to hide Xuanyuan Songtao.
Chen Ling searched all along the way, but he didn't notice Xuanyuan Songtao's whereabouts even after he searched the entire abode. He arrived at the main courtyard and frowned slightly. "Could it be that he isn't here?"
Could it be that Xuanyuan Songtao isn't here? But if he isn't here, then where could he be? As he thought, Chen Ling didn't give up and started searching once more.
This time, Chen Ling practically searched every nook and cranny of the entire abode. In the end, Chen Ling found a very obscure palm-sized talisman formation at the rockery in the back garden.
Moreover, there was a talisman formation inscribed on it. Obviously, this talisman formation didn't have any use, and it seemed like it was just a switch.
Chen Ling didn't think too much about it and directly placed his hand on the talisman formation before injecting his spirit energy into it. Sure enough, the talisman formation activated, and the rockery slowly opened up, and then a passageway that led underground appeared before Chen Ling.
Chen Ling's intuition told him that such a secretive passageway was definitely the place where Xuanyuan Wudi was hiding Xuanyuan Songtao. He immediately walked down the passageway with quick steps.
At the same time that Chen Ling discovered the passageway, Xuanyuan Wudi who was countless thousands of kilometers away suddenly opened his eyes while cultivating with his eyes closed, and a wisp of coldness flashed through his eyes as he said, "Who is it …."
