Myth Beyond Heaven

Northern Continent.

Han Bingling stood on a pile of debris that used to be a city wall, looking at the devastating scene where countless lifeless bodies of humans and profound beasts were lying on the ground. Blood formed into small rivers everywhere, emitting an unbearable stench.

This ruin was once a prosperous city. It had been destroyed by a massive profound beast horde not long ago. Han Bingling had to personally lead the troop herself, but she was late as the same situation happened in every coastal city throughout the entire continent.

"Report to Palace Master, fifteen cities have been destroyed, and the rest have successfully defended. However, the casualty is not small. Except for the Blue Sea Nation, they are unlikely to survive in the next round." Han Lou came to Han Bingling's side and said respectfully.

Han Bingling's brows involuntarily knitted together when she heard this. Even though she had made a preparation ahead of time, it was not enough to go against the Poison Valley's troops. After all, the overall strength of the Northern Continent was too low compared to other continents.

"Send our people to station at the Blue Tide Nation first and wait for my instruction. As for the rest, clear the scene and tell our troops to return to the second line." Han Bingling said after brief contemplation.

"Understood." Han Lou replied readily and went away.

Han Bingling continued to look at the scene, thinking of a way to deal with the situation. It was unrealistic for her Frozen Moon Palace to deal with the enemy alone.

However, she knew it was impossible for those sects and nations to send their people out. In this kind of situation, these people would rather choose to be selfish instead of uniting and fighting the enemy. This was human nature.

Suddenly, Han Bingling perceived something and turned around. "Senior."

Principal Tian slowly appeared several meters away from Han Bingling. He looked at the scene and let out a sigh. "It has been hard for you."

Han Bingling revealed a self-deprecating smile. "Unfortunately, I've failed to protect them."

"You are one person. You cannot protect everyone alone." Principal Tian shook his head. "I've asked the Main Branch to send experts over, but they gave me a perfunctory. Hah. Those old fogies are blinded by benefits and completely forgot Ancestor's teachings."

The two went silent for a while, and Principal Tian asked. "What about the Divine Thunder Palace?"

"Lei Zhenxiang is restrained by his ungrateful uncle. I don't think he can move now." Han Bingling replied.

Principal Tian frowned while stroking his long beard. The situation here was more severe than he had imagined. It had been only two months, and they had lost almost every coastal area. If this continued, it wouldn't be long before the Poison Valley flooded into the heart of the continent.

Just as the two were thinking, their expressions suddenly changed, and they looked toward the sky. At this moment, a huge fiery skyship emerged from the group of clouds and slowly descended. On both sides of the ship, there were majestic Divine Phoenix symbols engraved on them. Obviously, it was the Divine Phoenix Palace's profound skyship.

The skyship stopped its movement after descending to an appropriate height. A few figures floated down from the ship and slowly landed on the ground several steps away from Han Bingling and Principal Tian.

"Greetings, Palace Master Han and Principal Tian. I am Nantian Jiyou, the Second Elder of the Divine Phoenix Palace. Our Palace Master sent us here to assist you in dealing with the situation here." A woman in the front, Nantian Jiyou, said with a smile.

Han Bingling and Principal Tian glanced at each other in surprise. They had no idea why the Divine Phoenix Palace had suddenly sent people over. After all, the relationship between them and the Divine Phoenix Palace could be described as an acquaintance at most.

Although Nantian Fengyu was counted as the Sky Throne Profound Academy's student, they didn't think she would be so affectionate to do this.

Seeing the two's doubting expressions, Nantian Jiyou said softly. "Yun Lintian."

Han Bingling and Principal Tian were immediately understood. They couldn't help but marvel in their hearts… What did Yun Lintian do to make the Divine Phoenix Palace send people over?

"How's he?" Han Bingling asked concernedly. The latest news she heard about him was being hunted down by Du Huanfeng and the Myriad Pill Palace. She didn't expect him to appear on the Southern Continent and even had a relationship with the Divine Phoenix Palace.

Nantian Jiyou looked at Han Bingling and smiled. "It seems the relationship between you two is not ordinary." Her words made Han Bingling's face flush slightly. She said further. "He's fine. However, he has something to deal with and cannot return for the time being."

Nantian Jiyou knew it was not good timing to tell Han Bingling about Yun Lintian's actual situation. Yun Lintian had been reported missing for a month, and his situation was unknown. However, she personally believed he was doing fine somewhere in the windstorm.

Han Bingling was relieved upon hearing this. She took a deep breath and said sincerely. "Please send my gratitude to Palace Master Nantian."

Nantian Jiyou smiled in response. She looked around and asked. "Can you show me the overall situation here?"

"Please." Han Bingling made an inviting gesture and brought Nantian Jiyou and her people to her profound skyship.

Principal Tian didn't participate in this as he had something to do. He quickly returned to the academy and prepared for the next big move.

"This dust-filled air is so annoying." Shen Liqiu complained while wrapping the lower half of her face with a veil.

Yun Lintian looked around. Through his Eyes of Heaven, the surrounding greenish fog was a combination of dust clouds and abundant wind energy.

Yun Lintian didn't pay attention to it further. He recalled the map in his mind and pondered where to go first.

"Since we are at the southern gate. Why don't we check the Zeng clan manor out?" Shen Liqiu gave a suggestion. Her eyes were overflowing with excitement. In her eyes, any place within this city was no different from a mountain of treasures.
