Myth Beyond Heaven

A strange light flashed across Han Bingling's eyes. She didn't understand what Yun Lintian tried to convey, but she knew he didn't insult her Frozen Moon Palace out of nothing. There should be a reason for this. 

Nevertheless, Han Bingling didn't get angry as she calmly replied. "You can understand as we are on a good term. The current Divine Thunder Palace Master is a good friend of mine. So, I have no problem letting them come to this place. After all, Thunder Valley has no benefit to my palace. On the contrary, I gained some benefits from the Divine Thunder Palace."

It seems she didn't know about the Misty Cloud Palace? Yun Lintian thought. The reason he ridiculed the Frozen Moon Palace was that he wanted to see her reaction. From Yan Qi's information, the Frozen Moon Palace was only a small sect under the Misty Cloud Palace in the past. 

Yun Lintian jabbed on the prestige of the Frozen Moon Palace was akin to tell her they were only a tiny sect, and without the disappearance of the Misty Cloud Palace, they won't be able to become the Frozen Moon Palace.

He changed the topic. "What about the Sky Throne Profound Academy?"

Han Bingling looked at him weirdly and said. "You don't know about the academy?" Seeing Yun Lintian shook his head, she was more confused now. "The Sky Throne Profound Academy was the biggest academy in the Azure World. There are a total of five of them, one on each continent. All of them link together with the Central Continent as the head."

At this moment, Han Bingling was uncertain about Yun Lintian's identity. If he was indeed the Myriad Pill Palace's disciple, there was no way he didn't know about the Sky Throne Profound Academy… Could it be I misunderstand him? He is not someone from the Myriad Pill Palace but a disciple of some hidden hermits? She wondered.

Yun Lintian immediately understood why Han Bingling looked at him weirdly. This should be common knowledge among the top forces. He was oblivious to it had proved he wasn't someone from any top force.

"Is it under the Azure Palace's control?" Yun Lintian asked. 

"No. The Sky Throne Profound Academy was created by the Lord Sky Throne three thousand years ago. He was one of the strongest existences in this world. Even the Azure Palace Master at that time did not dare to offend him. As the time passing by, the academy still remains neutral until today." Han Bingling explained.

Yun Lintian furrowed his brows. It looked like several things occurred around three thousand years ago. Was it a coincidence?

Suddenly, Han Bingling perceived someone was coming in this direction. "Someone is coming."

"Who is it?" Yun Lintian asked.

"She is a cute little girl. Strange, why did she come here alone at this late?" Han Bingling replied and looked at a young girl in the distance.

"Little girl?" For some reason, Yun Lintian suddenly thought of Chu Mi.

"S… Senior Ye? Are you there?" Chu Mi's voice rang out from afar.

"So it's her." Yun Lintian muttered.

Han Bingling smiled playfully. "Is she your taste? Don't tell me you like a little girl type?"

Yun Lintian rolled his eyes at her and ignored her. He shouted. "Chu Mi? Why are you here?"

"Ah? Senior Ye? Where are you?" Chu Mi exclaimed and brought a torch in her hand forward, trying to see the path. 

Yun Lintian sighed and walked toward her. When he arrived nearby her, he asked again. "Why are you here?"

Chu Mi heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Yun Lintian was safe and sound. She answered. "I saw you haven't returned for a long time and decided to come here to take a look."

"You can go back first. I will go back later." Yun Lintian didn't want to continue the conversation with her further as he had a lot of things to ask Han Bingling.

Chu Mi blinked cutely for a while before she accepted obediently. "Then, I'll go back first. Please come back soon, Senior. It's dangerous here."

Yun Lintian waved his hand and let her go back. When he turned around, he suddenly found Han Bingling was nowhere to be seen.

"This woman…" He muttered to himself and decided to return.

"Ah!"

Just as Yun Lintian was about to catch up with Chu Mi, there was a loud scream ringing out from the alley not far away from him. He immediately recognized it was Chu Mi's voice.

With no hesitation, Yun Lintian rushed toward the alley as fast as he could and caught a glimpse of a black-clothed man dragging Chu Mi away. Judging from his aura, he should be at the peak of the Essence Profound Realm.

Yun Lintian activated Shadow Step to follow the man. In a blink of an eye, his figure reappeared two meters away from the black-clothed man, catching him off-guard.

Before the black-clothed could react, Yun Lintian promptly launched the Dragon Fist, and the virtual silver dragon immediately went straight to the black-clothed man's left shoulder.

Puff!

The black-clothed man was sent flying instantly, and Chu Mi used this chance to get out of his grasp before lying on the ground powerlessly.

Yun Lintian didn't go to Chu Mi's side but chose to follow the black-clothed man. Just as Yun Lintian was about to catch him, the black-clothed man suddenly threw a round object at him, and it instantly exploded right before Yun Lintian, releasing a black mist to cover the area.

"Abyssal Energy?" Yun Lintian's expression changed and hurriedly retreated while protecting himself with profound energy.

Where the hell did that woman go at this time? Yun Lintian cursed inwardly while dragging Chu Mi away from the alley.

Bang!

All of a sudden, Yun Lintian heard a loud bang from behind, making him take a glance backward, and he saw the black-clothed man's body was lying on the ground motionless. 

"My, my. I didn't expect the Poison Valley to have such a low-level lackey like this guy." Han Bingling's seductive voice drifted into Yun Lintian's ears.
