Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 188 - Petrified

Yang Chen followed Hua Wanru's gaze and saw the black smoke floated to the sky like a black pillar. He frowned slightly and drew closer to a city guard.

"Brother, can you tell me what happens over there?" Yang Chen asked and stuffed a gold coin into the guard's hand.

The guard's expression changed slightly, and he quickly put the gold coin away. He looked around carefully and whispered. "The Ming clan is now over. All of them were killed an hour ago." 

"The Ming clan?" Yang Chen was confused.

The guard looked at Yang Chen and the three women behind. He then understood Yang Chen was a newcomer. He said. "The Ming clan is one of the most powerful clans in Thunder City. For more details, you find it yourself."

"I see. Thank you, brother." Yang Chen politely thanked the guard and brought the women into the city.

"Where are we going next?" Hua Litong looked around at the bustling streets and asked.

"We should find a place to live first. I think the situation here is not good. We better leave tomorrow." Yang Mengli expressed her thoughts.

Yang Chen thought for a moment and said. "Let's go with sister's plan. We will buy a map first."

Afterward, Yang Chen's group went to a store nearby and bought a map. Later, they chose the Blue Moon inn to stay.

It had been half a year since the four of them left the Heavenly Fortune Nation. At first, it was Yang Chen who wanted to go out in order to fulfill Yan Qi's last wish. However, Yang Mengli, Hua Wanru, and Hua Litong insisted on coming with him. In the end, he had no choice but to bring them along.

Since the disappearance of the Misty Cloud Sect, the Qi royal clan, and the Luo clan had exerted their strength to suppress other clans. The life of the Hua clan and the Yang clan was not good during these months. Although the Qi royal clan did not kill them off, they were utterly suppressed and did not have a chance to grow further.

With this, Yang Gouming knew there was no future for his clan. He decisively decided to send Yang Chen and Yang Mengli away. Coincidently, Yang Chen wanted to go out, Yang Gouming didn't have to persuade his son at all.

When the four of them arrived at the Blue Moon inn, they were surprised as there was a free room for them. Without thinking further, they immediately booked two rooms and went to the dining hall.

"Have you heard about the Ming clan?" One of three practitioners on the nearby table said while sipping his wine.

"Yes. I heard that the eldest young master of the Ming clan has committed an unforgivable crime in the direct disciple of Frozen Moon Palace. That's why they have been killed." A stout man who sat opposite said excitedly. 

"Heh, what a stupid young master." Another man on the right said.

Yang Chen and others looked at each other when they heard this and found this matter was strange. Although they didn't know much about this young master of the Ming clan, they won't think he was stupid enough to do something on the Frozen Moon Palace's direct disciple. Wasn't this simply courting death?

Just as Yang Chen and others were discussing in a low voice, they heard a commotion at the inn entrance, making them turned their heads to look in the direction.

A seductive woman came to their sights, followed by a young woman with a white rabbit on her shoulder. They were naturally Han Bingling, Lin Xinyao, and Mumu.

"She's not simple." Hua Litong said in a low voice. With her Illusory Flower Soul, she could perceive the depth of one's strength by a glance. When she looked at Han Bingling, her soul seemed to freeze on the spot, as though she was thrown into an ice cave.

"Hmm?" Han Bingling suddenly halted her step and turned to look in Hua Litong's direction.

When their gaze met, Han Bingling smiled charmingly and strode toward Hua Litong.

Yang Chen and others' expressions abruptly changed as they didn't know why Han Bingling walked toward them. Especially Hua Litong, she started to panic as she believed she had offended Han Bingling.

Before Han Bingling arriving at Yang Chen's table, Hua Litong took the initiative to apologize. "My apologize, Senior. Please forgive me."

Han Bingling paused and chuckled while touching her face. "Am I that scary?… You don't have to be nervous. I'm not going to kill you." Her gaze swept over Hua Litong, Hua Wanru, Yang Mengli, and then paused on Yang Chen. Her eyes brightened up as she said. "Sun Overlord Profound Vein? How come such a rare profound vein appear here?"

Yang Chen's facial complexion turned cold when he heard this. The Sun Overlord Profound Vein was his greatest secret that he inherited from Yan Qi. In the past, no one could identify it, but this woman had actually done it with a mere glance.

"Who are you?" Yang Chen said in a deep voice. His right hand was immediately placed on the hilt of this sword.

Everyone in the dining hall was dumbfounded by Yang Chen's question. Was there anyone here who did not know Han Bingling?

Han Bingling smiled charmingly and said. "You've reminded me of someone. That boy is also cautious as you. However, he's not stiff like you." She paused for a moment and turned to Hua Litong. "Illusory Flower Soul? This is quite rare. Why don't all of you follow me to a place?"

"No, thanks." Before Yang Mengli could say anything, Yang Chen spoke first with a cold expression.

Yang Mengli wanted to slap her brother's head at this moment. Didn't he see this woman possess a distinctive identity? Even they wanted to refuse her, Han Bingling could easily force them. What was the point of rejecting her then?

Han Bingling curled her lips. "Well, let me introduce myself first. I am Han Bingling, the current Frozen Moon Palace Master. Would you mind having a meal with me?"

Yang Chen and others were prettified on the spot upon hearing this.
