247: Chapter 247 Heavenly Rhyme City

Two months?

A year and a half turned into two months?

"Revered Master, didn't we agree on three years? There's still a year and a half left, why is it only two months now?"

Lin Ming asked immediately.

"Are you the Revered Master, or am I the Revered Master?"

Master Yun Hua said indifferently.

"That would be you, Revered Master."

Lin Ming said immediately.

"Then is it my word that counts, or yours?"

Master Yun Hua continued.

"Understood, Revered Master. Two months, I will do my best."

Lin Ming said.

She was using her authority to pressure him, giving him no chance to refuse.

There was no help for it; who else could it be but his Revered Master?

Two months it is, then.

He would just have to struggle through a Breakthrough when the time came; it wasn't a big problem.

"Lianxue, how long do you need to reach a Breakthrough?"

Master Yun Hua looked at Su Lianxue and asked.

"Revered Master, I need to polish my cultivation; it should also take two months."

Su Lianxue replied.

"Hmm."

"Yan Nian, your situation cannot be rushed."

Master Yun Hua's gaze fell on Yan Nian as she said this.

"I know, Revered Master."

A look of determination appeared on Yan Nian's face.

"The three of you will accompany me to Tianyun City."

Master Yun Hua said.

"Tianyun City? Didn't you say you wouldn't go to that place again, Revered Master?"

Lin Ming looked at Master Yun Hua with a strange expression and asked.

Master Yun Hua's indifferent gaze fell on Lin Ming once more.

"Revered Master, when are we leaving?"

Perhaps sensing his Revered Master's threat, Lin Ming replied with a serious expression.

"We leave tomorrow."

Master Yun Hua said.

"Go back and prepare."

Seeing this, the three did not linger and walked out of the Immortal Cave one by one.

"Senior Brother, is there a story behind this Tianyun City?"

After stepping out of the Immortal Cave, Yan Nian asked Lin Ming directly.

Su Lianxue's gaze also fell on Lin Ming; clearly, she was also curious about this.

"Tianyun City is one of the most prosperous cities in the Human Race territories," Lin Ming said.

Tianyun City, one of the most prosperous cities in the Human Race territories of the Qingxuan Realm, was located at the center of the Human Race territories. It had two Nirvana Realm practitioners stationed there, one of whom was the City Lord.

City Lord Gu Qinghe, the City Lord of Tianyun City, a Nirvana Seventh Heaven Old Ancestor, and also the head of the Gu Family in Tianyun.

"That's it?"

Seeing Lin Ming remain silent for a long time, Yan Nian asked.

"That's it," Lin Ming nodded.

Of course that was it.

Their Revered Master was likely listening to their conversation right now.

He certainly dared not speak carelessly.

Although they would find out about certain things sooner or later once they arrived in Tianyun City, for his own safety, he had better keep his mouth shut for now.

The two of them certainly didn't believe Lin Ming's words, but since he wouldn't say anything, they had no choice but to bury their curiosity in their hearts for the time being.

Lin Ming had originally intended to make a trip to Tianyun City; there were some things he needed to unload in a prosperous place to maximize their value.

Now, he didn't have to be sneaky about it.

The next day.

The group boarded Master Yun Hua's spirit boat and headed towards Tianyun City.

...

Xingxiao Pavilion.

The Old Ancestor Shouxing sat cross-legged on a high platform.

"Old Ancestor, haven't you been performing too many divinations?"

A middle-aged man looked at Old Ancestor Shouxing and asked with a worried expression.

More than a year ago, Old Ancestor Shouxing had peered into the variables, resulting in a backlash.

Immediately after, the Nightmare appeared.

This series of events had cost the Old Ancestor too much.

He believed they could not let the Old Ancestor continue the divination.

"Old Ancestor, let me do it instead," the middle-aged man continued.

Old Ancestor Shouxing slowly opened his eyes at this moment. He didn't say anything, just looked up at the sky.

It was already in chaos, completely in chaos.

Clearly, someone was deliberately interfering with the heavenly secrets and confusing the truth.

Coupled with the information their Xingxiao Pavilion had gathered over the past year or so, everything pointed to the Demonic Path having major plans.

Originally, their Xingxiao Pavilion would not participate in the so-called conflict between the righteous and the demonic.

That was the case five hundred years ago, and even earlier.

But they had indeed utilized the power of the Nightmare, or rather, the Nightmare had utilized them.

This forced the Xingxiao Pavilion to intervene.

This was their fate.

The next second.

Old Ancestor Shouxing floated into the air, and the array patterns on the high platform lit up one by one.

In the sky, rays of starlight slowly descended.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man's face involuntarily revealed a look of nervousness.

...

Tianyun City.

A spirit boat stopped here.

Lin Ming and the others walked off the spirit boat.

Master Yun Hua and Su Lianxue had both put on masks to avoid unnecessary trouble.

The four of them then walked towards Tianyun City.

To enter Tianyun City, besides the entrance fee of ten Low Grade Origin Stones, one had to pass through the reflection of a bronze mirror. The main function of this bronze mirror was to prevent Demonic cultivators and Demon cultivators from sneaking into Tianyun City and causing unnecessary chaos.

Especially in these special times, Tianyun City had become exceptionally strict in this regard.

The four of them passed through smoothly and entered Tianyun City.

In fact, Yan Nian's identity as a half-demon would have been revealed by the bronze mirror.

Moreover, half-demon practitioners were generally not allowed to enter.

However, Yan Nian was not revealed.

This was because of Master Yun Hua's methods; she had used some special techniques to conceal Yan Nian. Furthermore, this bronze mirror was only a Sixth Grade High Grade Origin Weapon, not omnipotent.

There were ways to conceal oneself from it.

After entering the city, the group did not head to the Yuanxu Mountain stronghold. In such a prosperous city of the cultivation world, Yuanxu Mountain naturally had its own stronghold and businesses.

They casually found an inn to stay at.

Master Yun Hua only left behind the words "free to move about" before disappearing to who knows where.

"Junior Sister Su, do you have any plans?"

Lin Ming looked at Su Lianxue and asked.

"I'll just wander around," Su Lianxue said.

It was a good opportunity for her to see if this most prosperous city in the Qingxuan Realm had anything she needed.

She also needed to prepare for forging her Spirit Platform.

"Junior Sister Yan, what about you?"

Lin Ming looked at Yan Nian and asked as well.

"My mother has some friends here, I would like to visit them," Yan Nian said after hesitating for a moment.

Besides Master Yun Hua, her mother had other friends among the Human Race, and her mother had mentioned them to her.

And it just so happened that one such person was in Tianyun City.

Since she had come to Tianyun City, she wanted to pay a visit.

"Then let's all go our separate ways," Lin Ming said.

Since everyone had their own business, they could move about freely; this was exactly what he wanted.

The three parted ways.

Lin Ming also changed his appearance amidst the crowd.

Now, it was time to go hunting for treasures.
