Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 2230: The City Lord Falls

Ever since Ice Peak Immortal King and two elders from the City Lord Mansion left Ice Emperor City to personally escort two captured remnants of the Emperor’s Palace to Ice River Palace, the disciples of the City Lord Mansion were ordered to stay in their residences and cultivate in peace. The enormous mansion maintained a serene order.

That evening, the two disciples responsible for guarding the Soul Hall suddenly came stumbling out.

"Something bad has happened! The Soul Lamps of the City Lord and the two elders have extinguished!"

The two disciples rushed outside, shouting loudly with desperation, their faces marked by fear.

Upon hearing their cries, a dozen senior members of the City Lord Mansion were the first to arrive, followed by hundreds of disciples gathering around the Soul Hall.

"What are you talking about?"

Wild Lion Immortal swiftly appeared before the two panicked disciples guarding the Soul Lamps, grabbing the collar of one and fiercely questioning with reddened eyes.

"Extinguished... The Soul Lamps of the City Lord and two elders... extinguished..."

The disciple, already terrified, was nearly scared out of his wits by Wild Lion Immortal’s roar, trembling as he spoke.

"If you dare spread lies, I will crush your bones to dust!"

Wild Lion Immortal threatened harshly, throwing the disciple aside and rushing into the Soul Hall.

"How... how could this be..."

Inside the Soul Hall, Wild Lion Immortal found the Soul Lamp belonging to Ice Peak Immortal King extinguished, as well as those of the two elders, leaving him thunderstruck in shock.

Other senior members of the mansion followed Wild Lion Immortal into the hall, only to freeze in disbelief like him.

Without the Deputy City Lord’s command, they dared not enter the Soul Hall fully but could use their Divine Sense to investigate. Upon discovering the extinguished Soul Lamps, a wave of commotion ensued.

"How could this happen... how could this happen..."

Standing beside Wild Lion Immortal was Qingyang Immortal, a half-step Immortal King Realm expert and one of the Deputy City Lords. He looked at the extinguished Soul Lamps with an ominously dark expression.

"Tell me, when did the Soul Lamps of the City Lord and the elders extinguish?"

Wild Lion Immortal turned back from the Soul Hall, demanding answers from the two disciples on guard.

"Just now... As soon as we found the lamps extinguished, we came out to alert everyone!"

One of the disciples answered fearfully.

"The City Lord and the elders must have met with misfortune on the way to Ice River Palace. Qingyang, you stay here while I take some disciples to investigate! The City Lord is a disciple of Ice River Immortal Emperor; I want to see which Immortal dared to kill him..."

Wild Lion Immortal said furiously, preparing to take some disciples from the mansion to trace the City Lord’s and elders’ flight path and investigate.

Qingyang Immortal hurriedly advised, "Don’t act recklessly!"

Seeing Wild Lion Immortal glaring at him, he smiled bitterly, "Think about it, since the adversary could kill the City Lord and two elders, they must possess power far beyond ours. Even if you go, it would be in vain, like throwing your life away!"

Though Wild Lion Immortal was impulsive and aggressive, he wasn’t foolish. He understood Qingyang Immortal’s reasoning; if the adversary could kill someone with Immortal King Realm power and Ninth Grade Immortal Venerable elders, they must at least be a Second Grade Immortal King Realm expert.

And with the diminished strength of the mansion after losing Ice Peak Immortal King and the elders, taking all disciples to face the enemy would be futile. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Then what do you propose? We can’t just hide in the mansion forever."

Wild Lion Immortal huffed.

Qingyang Immortal, less impulsive than Wild Lion Immortal, thought carefully before saying, "The adversary took a risk angering Ice River Immortal Emperor by killing the City Lord and two elders; it must be related to the Emperor’s Palace remnants. We should send disciples to Ice River Palace and inform Ice River Immortal Emperor, letting her handle it."

Wild Lion Immortal nodded, "Agreed! The City Lord is a disciple of Ice River Immortal Emperor. Upon learning of his death, she will be furious. If Ice River Immortal Emperor intervenes, the culprit will be found and dealt with!"

Qingyang Immortal said, "No time to waste, I’ll handle going to Ice River Palace. Wild Lion, you stay at the mansion with the disciples!"

At once, Qingyang Immortal mounted an Immortal Roc, soaring towards Ice River Palace.

From Ice Emperor City to Ice River Palace, it’s hundreds of thousands of miles away; a fixed route allows the quickest passage.

In the past, disciples of Ice Emperor City followed this route on Immortal Rocs to Ice River Palace.

Due to the prior attack, Qingyang Immortal avoided the fixed route, planning to take a detour to avoid more ambushes.

Flying over a thousand miles, he spotted an incoming Immortal Roc.

"Isn’t that the Roc used by the City Lord and elders? Wait, why is Alchemist Fang on it?"

Seeing Fang Bai, the new mansion tribute, sitting on the Roc’s back, Qingyang Immortal felt a moment of confusion.

In a blink, the Roc neared.

"Alchemist Fang, what are you doing here? Do you know of the City Lord and elders’ demise?"

Qingyang Immortal asked urgently.

He assumed Fang Bai might have encountered the Roc and rode it back without knowing of the tragedy.

"Qingyang Immortal, look, what’s this?"

Fang Bai didn’t answer directly but extended his right hand, revealing three Space Immortal Rings.

At the sight of the familiar rings, Qingyang Immortal’s mind buzzed, a dreadful suspicion forming, as he angrily asked, "How do you have the City Lord and two elders’ Space Immortal Rings? Did you...?"

He intended to ask if Fang Bai killed them but doubted it, knowing Fang Bai’s Fourth Grade Immortal Venerable cultivation couldn’t match theirs.

Fang Bai chuckled, leisurely stating, "Indeed, Ice Peak Immortal King and the two elders fell by my hand. Their rings contain good cultivation resources, but I desire all resources in your Ice Emperor City!"

"Impossible! You couldn’t best the City Lord and elders! Who are you really? What’s your intent in joining the mansion? And how did you obtain those rings?"

Fang Bai’s words sparked anger and suspicion in Qingyang Immortal; he doubted Fang Bai’s capability yet sensed foul intentions behind joining the mansion.
