Chapter 197 - Midway Encounter
Chapter 197 – Midway Encounter
Yun Lintian understood Yun Qianxue's current mood very well, but since Tu Cao said Qi Qianxing had managed to escape, Yun Lintian did not think going back at this time was a good idea. He thought for a moment and said. "Let me check first."
Yun Lintian then took out the transmission jade that was given to him by Han Bingling. He contacted her directly. "Palace Master Han, I have something to ask you."
A while later, Han Bingling's seductive voice rang out from the other side. "Eh? Isn't this Young Master Yun of Misty Cloud Sect? Are you missing this sister?"
Yun Lintian's expression changed slightly as he didn't expect Han Bingling to figure out his identity. He responded calmly. "Since Palace Master Han already knew my identity, I'll be frank with you then. Have you found Qi Qianxing's trace?"
"I know you will contact me one day because of this." Han Bingling chuckled and continued. "He has already escaped to the Endless Sea. I have no clue where his destination is. As for his son, Qi Yuanfeng, he managed to slip through my palm and went to the Endless Sea as well."
Yun Lintian and Yun Qianxue glanced at each other. He asked further. "What's the current situation of Heavenly Fortune Nation?"
"I have intervened and reformed their ruling system. The Yang clan's patriarch, Yang Gouming, has become a city lord while the patriarch of the Hua clan became a vice-city lord." Han Bingling explained. "Right, I have accepted your friends to my Frozen Moon Palace."
"My friends? Who are they?" Yun Lintian asked in puzzlement.
"Hua Litong, Hua Wanru, and Yang Mengli." Han Bingling replied.
"So they are telling you about me?" Yun Lintian immediately understood.
Han Bingling did not answer but changed the topic. "Where are you now? Do you want to bring your people over here? I can accept them to my palace."
After reading the report related to Misty Cloud Sect, Han Bingling was impressed by Misty Cloud Sect's legacy. She didn't expect there was such a long heritage sect hiding in a small nation like this. Of course, she didn't plan to snatch their legacy by inviting them in but rather wanted to strengthen her Frozen Moon Palace.
"No, thanks." Yun Lintian rejected without hesitation. He naturally knew Han Bingling's intention.
"Ah, what a pity." Han Bingling had expected this answer beforehand and did not feel much about it.
"Thank you for telling me this information." Yun Lintian said and put the transmission jade away. He turned to Yun Qianxue and said. "We will go back after I obtain the Moon."
Yun Qianxue took a deep breath and nodded her head. "Fine."
Yun Lintian took out the map and determined the direction before setting off toward Profound Sky Divine City.

"Tsk, what a cold little boy." On the Moon Shifting Profound Sky Ship, Han Bingling looked at the transmission jade with dissatisfaction before putting it away. She turned to Lin Xinyao and said. "Do you want to visit your aunt?"
Lin Xinyao, who was reading a book, raised her head and replied. "Yes, Master. I haven't seen her for a long time."
Han Bingling curled her lips in a good mood as an interesting idea appeared in her mind. She turned to Han Muxue on the side and said softly. "We will head to Profound Sky Divine City."
"Yes, Master." Han Muxue respectfully replied and walked toward the cockpit.

After traveling for three days, Yun Lintian's group was about three hundred kilometers away from Profound Sky Divine City. During this period, Yun Lintian let fifty of Cloud Shadow's members out to gain experience.
The group of fifty people was divided into ten teams of five and spreading out along the way. Yun Lintian let them, and Yun Meilan entered Profound Sky Divine City ahead of him so that they could gather information for him. When the time came, he would contact them through a special transmission jade that Yun Lingwei invented.
Yun Lintian's group arrived at a forest that was not too thickly enshrouded. At this time, the sounds of a fierce fight emerged from the area to the front of them, and as they drew closer to that spot, bursts of profound energy storms flew from a very far distance, heavily impacted their surroundings.
Yun Lintian raised his hand to stop Yun Qianxue and Yun Lingwei while using his Spiritual Sense to observe the situation ahead. The area in front of them had already been leveled into a flat surface by the violent battle. Not even a blade of grass could be seen, much less trees.
In the center of the area, five people were clothed in white, surrounding a young man. Yun Lintian was surprised as he recognized the identity of the young man. He was no other than Yang Chen. What made Yun Lintian surprised even more was these five people's strengths were already at the first level of Earth Profound Realm. It was a miracle that the tenth level of Spirit Profound practitioner like Yang Chen could last this long under their joint attacks.
"Yang Chen! I advise you to hand over the Fire Spirit Fruit. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!" The leader of the group of five said coldly.
Yang Chen wiped bloodstains out of the corner of his mouth before replying. "Ridiculous! Why should I hand it to you just because you say so?" His current appearance was described as miserable. His white robe was stained with blood, and several wounds could be seen clearly underneath.
At this moment, Yun Lintian perceived five Spiritual Senses swept over him. The five people in white had already noticed someone drawing near. Their faces went cold, and the leader motioned with his chin, telling his four comrades to handle Yun Lintian's group.
"Hey, look at that white-hair woman! Her figure is superb!" One of the four said excitedly. His eyes were full of lust as he rudely scanned Yun Qianxue's body from head to toe.
"You're right. She's definitely a top beauty.." Another man beside him said while licking his lips.
