"You have done a great job this time. Tell me, what do you want?" On the Moon Shifting Profound Sky Ship, Han Bingling sat comfortably while leisurely eating a spirit fruit. Opposite her was Han Muxue, who was sent to watch Yin Qiao a long time ago, and she had successfully assassinated Yin Qiao.
Han Muxue shook her head and replied. "This is my duty, Master. I don't need any reward."
Han Bingling did not insist further. "Alright. If you want anything in the future, just tell me."
Han Muxue bowed her head slightly and went to stand on Han Bingling's side.
Han Bingling turned to Lin Xinyao on the side and asked. "Your progress is faster than I expected. It seems you have gained a lot during the Thunder Valley trip... Pity, you can't remove the seal." She looked at the seal within Lin Xinyao's body regretfully.
The seal on Lin Xinyao was working as Yun Lintian had speculated before. It mainly concealed her Divine Moon Profound Vein. At the same time, it prevented her from converting profound energy to origin profound energy. This made her power lower than it was supposed to be.
Lin Xinyao's current strength was still at the peak of the Origin Profound Realm, but the energy within her body was extremely dense. If she removed the suppression, her strength could soar to Earth Profound Realm's fifth or sixth level with no problem.
Lin Xinyao smiled and said nothing. Once she removed the seal, 'those people' would detect her, and Frozen Moon Palace would be in danger. No matter how desperate she wanted to raise her strength, she would never unseal it.
"How are your junior sisters?" Since Han Bingling accepted Hua Litong, Hua Wanru, and Yang Mengli as her disciple, she did not follow their progress much as she was busy with Poison Valley's matter.
"Junior Sister Litong is progress abnormally fast. She is ready to break through to Origin Profound Realm at any time. While Junior Sister Wanru and Junior Sister Mengli are much slower, their progress is still considering acceptable. They are now at the fourth and fifth level of Spirit Profound Realm, respectively." Lin Xinyao replied.
"Good." Han Bingling nodded. "Any news about Yun Lintian?"
Lin Xinyao shook her head. "It is as if he has disappeared from this world. There's not a single trace left behind."
Han Bingling gave a light hum in reply. She did not worry about Yun Lintian as she believed he wouldn't die easily. The only problem was that she needed him to help her deal with Abyssal Profound Beast Core that she got from killing many abyssal profound beasts during this period. Some of them were even a saint-level core, which she had no way to deal with them.
Woosh!
"Sorry for interrupting your rest time. I'm here to say goodbye." Suddenly, Lei Zhu and Lei Jun appeared on the Profound Sky Ship and stood before the door.
Han Bingling waved her hand to open the door and let them come in. She asked. "Are you going back now?"
Lei Zhu replied expressionlessly. "Yes. Our job here is already done."
Han Bingling nodded and waved her hand. "Muxue, notify the gatekeeper to open the grand formation."
Han Muxue responded. "Yes, Master." Her figure disappeared from the spot afterward.
"Xinyao, I'm going back now." Lei Jun looked at Lin Xinyao with a gentle smile.
Lin Xinyao turned to him and gave a nonchalant nod in reply without saying a word.
"I know you must be still angry with me, but I have already compensated Sister Su. Can you forgive me?" Lei Jun said.
"This matter is over now." Lin Xinyao replied calmly.
Lei Jun's smile grew wider and said. "Thank you for forgiving me. Then, I'll leave now. See you later at the Heavenly Sword Summit." Following that, he turned around and left with Lei Zhu.
Han Bingling watched them away while pursing her lips. She turned to Lin Xinyao and asked. "Who's better between him and that Yun Lintian?"
"What are you talking about, Master?" Lin Xinyao naturally knew Han Bingling teased her, and she did not bother to play along with her master.
Han Bingling chuckled. "You don't have any feeling for Yun Lintian? After all, he must see your body already."
Lin Xinyao rolled her eyes and sipped the spirit tea, couldn't be bothered to talk with Han Bingling. At first, she was worried about this matter too, but Mumu told her Yun Lintian did not take advantage of her at all in the past. This made her relieve and admired Yun Lintian even more.
Han Bingling, of course, knew the whole process back then, but she just wanted to tease her beloved disciple a bit. At the same time, she hoped to deepen the relationship between Lin Xinyao and Yun Lintian. Even though they could not become a lover in the end, a good friend was already enough.
Han Bingling thought for a while and said. "I'll send Muyue to find him. We need his help."
Lin Xinyao looked at her master and said nothing.
***
In the Land of Beyond Heaven, Yun Lintian was currently reading a profound seal-related book while munching spicy peanuts. During these past three months, his strength had soared to the ninth level from the fifth level of Origin Profound Realm. This speed was enough to kill every so-called heavenly chosen in the Northern Continent.
While his base strength was increasing, he did not forget to deepen his knowledge further. Everything had risen to another level regarding medical, alchemy, formation, and a newly studied seal profound art. As for Five Elements Spear Art, Dragon Fist, and Shadow Step, he successfully achieved the next level. Now, he was confident; he had no opponent below the Earth Profound Realm.
"You're here. I thought you would go to the pavilion today." Yun Qianxue walked onto the terrace on the villa's second floor while holding a jar of milk tea.
Yun Lintian turned around and smiled. "Congratulations on the breakthrough.." He suddenly discovered Yun Qianxue's strength had already reached the third level of Origin Profound Realm.
