Chapter 819 Northern Continent Crisis (3)
Looking at the black figure disappearing, Yong Xiaobo couldn’t resist the curiosity in his heart and asked cautiously. “Elder Han, that personโฆ.”
Han Lou glanced at him and handed the jade slip over. “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. Go deal with them.”
Yong Xiaobo swallowed nervously and hurriedly took the jade slip. “Yes, I shall leave first.”
Afterward, he quickly went away with his butler, Cao Jing. Even though he doubted the credibility of the information, he didn’t dare to ask about it anymore.
Han Lou turned to look at the battle scene that was almost one-sided with a thoughtful expression. She was thinking about the identity of the mysterious female in black earlier.
During these past months, her Frozen Moon Palace had received a lot of crucial information from the mysterious group behind this person. At first, she doubted their motivation. After all, there was no free lunch in this world.
However, as time passed, her doubt began to sway as the amount of help from them was too much, to the point that she didn’t dare to doubt their intention anymore. Furthermore, this mysterious group of people hadn’t even asked for anything in return once, which made her feel ashamed for questioning them.
Naturally, Han Bingling had passed down a command to look for them, but these people were simply vanishing from the world. No matter how they searched, even a trace of them couldn’t be found.
“Report Elder Han, we’ve successfully driven the profound beasts away.” At this moment, a young Frozen Moon Palace disciple came forward and said solemnly.
Han Lou nodded gently and swept her Spiritual Sense over the entire coastal area and sea surface before retracting it upon seeing there was not a single profound beast left.
“Very good. Leave a few people here to observe the situation. We will go to another place.” Han Lou said gently and floated into the air.
“Yes!” The young disciple responded solemnly and went away.
It was not only the Ice Threading City that suffered the profound beast tide. Several coastal cities around the Northern Continent were no exception, and their situation was several times worse than this place. Especially those without the Frozen Moon Palace’s timely support.
On the Frozen Moon Profound Skyship, Han Bingling read the reports with a serious expression. Through them, she learned that so many cities had been brutally breached and trampled before the support could reach.
What made her face turn even icier was the unruly acts of the surrounding sects. Instead of sending aid to the scene, they actually chose to stand by and did nothing. What were they thinking? Did they really think those profound beasts wouldn’t go to them after successfully occupying the coastal cities?
“Master, there’s no movement on the Grand Transmission Formations.” A tall woman, Han Lanfen, walked into the room and reported respectfully.
Han Bingling raised her head gently and asked. “What about the Extreme Ice Terrain?”
“So far, we haven’t detected any movement.” Han Lanfen replied.
Han Bingling’s brows creased together. She felt something tricky about this matter, but she couldn’t pinpoint out.
According to the information she got from those captured traitors, the Poison Valley was planning to occupy the Grand Transmission Formations, and they seemed to be very confident about it. However, no matter how she racked her brain up, she couldn’t see any flaw in her countermeasure… What method are they going to use then?
Suddenly, Han Lanfen seemed to receive a voice transmission, and she quickly reported to Han Bingling. “Master, we’ve successfully recaptured those breached cities back. However, there are some groups of people making trouble.”
“Who are they?” Han Bingling frowned.
“The White Feather Sect and the Violent Gale Sect.” Han Lanfen replied after a brief communication with someone on the other side.
A cold glint flashed through Han Bingling’s eyes upon hearing this. She had been aware of these sects’ ambitions, but she had no time to deal with them during this period. After all, she didn’t want to engage in an unnecessary battle and leave an opportunity for the Poison Valley. It seemed she had to do something now, even if she didn’t want to.
All of a sudden, Han Bingling perceived an energy fluctuation outside of the skyship, and her expression changed slightly before saying. “Please come in.”
In the next moment, a woman covered in black cloth from head to toe walked into the room, causing Han Lanfeng to raise her guard and look at the former vigilantly.
The woman in black didn’t stand ceremony and quickly threw a jade slip onto the desk. “This piece of information should be something you’re looking for in the current situation, Palace Master Han.”
Han Bingling picked the jade slip up and read the content with her Spiritual Sense. A moment later, her expression became solemn as she raised her head to look at the woman in black. “Thank you for helping us.”
“This is what my Master instructed us to do. I will excuse myself first.” The woman in black said and was about to leave. She suddenly heard Han Bingling ask.
“Can you please answer me a question? Why did your master spend so much effort to help us?” Han Bingling asked while staring at the woman’s back attentively.
The woman in black paused her movement and replied. “Because this is our home.”
As her voice fell, her figure turned into a shadow and disappeared without a trace, causing Han Lanfeng, who stood on the side, to stare at the place in shock. She was certain that if this woman in black wanted to come here secretly, there was no way for her to detect or even guard against herโฆ What a scary movement technique!
Staring at the place where the woman in black disappeared, a strange light flashed through Han Bingling’s eyes. She seemed to think of someone that possessed a similar movement techniqueโฆ Because this is their home? Could it be him?
After a while, Han Bingling put this matter aside and handed the jade slip to Han Lanfen. “Hand this slip to Sister Zixuan.”
“Yes, Master.” Han Lanfen regained her sense and hurriedly went away after picking the jade slip up. ๐๐๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ซ๐๐ก.๐๐๐ฉ
Han Bingling’s face turned cold as she muttered. “Wang Clan? Very good. I was thinking about how you lot want to play. It turns out you’ve been hiding your pawns under my nose for all this time.”
