45: The powerful Dongfang Yunbing

Yang Lingchen and the other two walked leisurely along the incomparably bustling streets of Black Cloud City, attracting countless gazes for a moment.

The three of them—the man was handsome and elegant, while the women were as beautiful as Heavenly Immortals, with beauty that could sink fish and make birds alight, so charming that they looked like figures walking out of a painting, leaving people in awe.

The prosperity of the Northern Profound Imperial City was by no means comparable to that of ordinary cities. Most of the items sold in the shops on the streets here were precious things like Artifact Refining Materials, Alchemy herbs, Spiritual Artifacts, and Cultivation Techniques.

Women who go shopping are often crazy; whether on Earth or the Tianwu Continent, shopping seems to be an innate instinct for women.

Along the way, Ling Yanyun and Lin Yurou were like two joyful birds just released, excitedly shopping everywhere, while Yang Lingchen followed behind them without complaint or impatience.

Soon, the three arrived at an incomparably magnificent clothing store. Inside, various luxurious robes and dresses were displayed in a dazzling array.

Ling Yanyun and Lin Yurou seemed to have discovered a new world, immediately diving in to pick out clothes, occasionally gesturing in front of Yang Lingchen to seek his opinion.

Yang Lingchen also showed great patience and selected many beautiful clothes and dresses for the two women.

"How can such vulgar clothing be worthy of two beauties whose beauty could topple kingdoms?" At that moment, an eccentric voice rang out at an inopportune time.

A young man dressed nobly, with handsome features and an extraordinary temperament, but with a hint of wickedness in his eyes, walked in.

"Ladies, I am Huang Jiahao, the Saint of the Demon Cloud Sect. I wonder what your names are? Would you be interested in joining my Demon Cloud Sect?" Huang Jiahao said with a folding fan in hand and a smile on his face, thinking he looked elegant.

"Not interested," Ling Yanyun refused without hesitation, her tone cold.

"Junior Brother Lingchen, let's go!" Lin Yurou spoke up.

The two women didn't want to cause trouble for Yang Lingchen, so each took one of his arms and walked toward the door.

Huang Jiahao had never been so ignored; his figure flashed instantly, and he blocked the way in front of the three.

"Don't leave, beauties! Perhaps you don't know this Young Master, but you must have heard of the Demon Cloud Sect."

"As long as you follow this Young Master, it will definitely be much better than following this Void Seeking Realm third-level trash." A smile he thought was charming appeared at the corners of Huang Jiahao's mouth.

"Get lost." Yang Lingchen was instantly enraged.

"Damn it, flirting is one thing, but why the hell are you stepping on me?" At this point, Yang Lingchen pulled his arms out from the two women's hands.

"Kid, I dare you to say that again!" Huang Jiahao's voice was cold, and his face instantly turned extremely gloomy.

"Huo..." Without any warning, Yang Lingchen's heaven-reaching staff was instantly in his hand, smashing down toward Huang Jiahao like a bolt of lightning.

The heavy and powerful strike, carrying a surge of powerful Profound Energy, instantly smashed onto Huang Jiahao's shoulder.

"Crack."

"Ah... ah... ah...!"

"Little Bastard, this Young Master will make you wish you were dead." Huang Jiahao let out a miserable scream.

"Bang... bang... bang... bang...!"

"Crack."

Yang Lingchen swung wildly again, directly breaking Huang Jiahao's five limbs, and finally poked him in the Dantian with the staff.

"Now tell me, who exactly is the trash?" Yang Lingchen stepped on his face, a cold sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Little Bastard, you're dead. No one can save you." Huang Jiahao's eyes were filled with venomous resentment.

"Gurgle... gurgle... gurgle... gurgle...!"

Yang Lingchen couldn't be bothered with him and poked the staff directly into his mouth, then twisted it hard, instantly pulling out a mouthful of teeth.

"Ah... wooo, ah... wooo...!"

Huang Jiahao let out muffled screams. At this moment, he was truly afraid; the other party really didn't fear the threat of the Demon Cloud Sect at all.

"Beauties, if we don't leave now, the City Guard will be here." Yang Lingchen pulled the two women and quickly left the scene.

"Junior Brother Lingchen, you were so handsome just now!"

"I really liked the way you swung that staff." Lin Yurou said with a face full of admiration.

"Sister Yurou, actually, you haven't seen the most handsome way I swing my staff yet!" Yang Lingchen said with a wicked smile.

"Then hurry up and show me." Lin Yurou said.

"Ahem, it's not convenient for now. Some other day when no one is around, let's find a place, and I'll swing it for you privately." Yang Lingchen coughed lightly and said.

The three wandered around for another round before returning to the Heavenly Origin Palace residence with satisfaction.

Yang Lingchen also returned to his room.

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea passed.

A loud noise came from outside the Heavenly Origin Palace residence as the main gate was kicked flying.

Following that, a middle-aged man with a sharp aura walked into the residence with a powerful stride, followed by a group of high-ranking members of the Demon Cloud Sect.

At this time, Dongfang Yunbing walked out, frowned, and said in a cold voice, "Huang Shulang, what business do you have coming to my Heavenly Origin Palace?"

"Dongfang Yunbing, hand over the kid who injured my son, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite." Huang Shulang said fiercely, his eyes cold.

"Huang Shulang, there is no culprit who injured your son here. Get out." Dongfang Yunbing shouted coldly.

"Dongfang Yunbing, someone saw with their own eyes that a Disciple of your Heavenly Origin Palace crippled my son. Do you still want to quibble?" Huang Shulang shouted sharply.

"Even if a Disciple of my Heavenly Origin Palace crippled your son, that's only because your son was unskilled. You, the Grand Elder of the Demon Cloud Sect, are you going to throw away your face to seek revenge on a Junior?"

Dongfang Yunbing's tone was extremely cold, and a bone-chilling coldness emanated from her body.

"Since you won't hand him over, don't blame me for being impolite."

After Huang Shulang finished speaking, he directly threw a palm strike toward Dongfang Yunbing. A violent airwave instantly swept out, overturning the surrounding flowers and trees.

"Huang Shulang, you're looking for death."

Dongfang Yunbing gave a cold shout and waved her jade-like hand. Instantly, an incomparably terrifying blast of Qi struck Huang Shulang's chest.

"Puff...!"

Huang Shulang was sent flying by Dongfang Yunbing's strike, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood in the air.

"You... you actually broke through to that Gui Xuan Realm? This... how is this possible?"

Huang Shulang showed a look of shock. Originally, Dongfang Yunbing's strength was on par with his, but he didn't expect her to have broken through to the Gui Xuan Realm.

"Get lost." Dongfang Yunbing shouted coldly, a freezing killing intent rising in her eyes.

"You... Dongfang Yunbing, this matter won't end like this. That kid who injured my son—you can protect him for a moment, but you can't protect him for a lifetime. We'll see."

Huang Shulang left a harsh word and then brushed his sleeves and left. He knew that Dongfang Yunbing's strength far exceeded his, and staying any longer would be meaningless.

At this time, everyone in the residence was attracted by the huge commotion and came out, as the noise just now was truly too loud.

"Who crippled Huang Shulang's son?" Dongfang Yunbing's voice was cold as her gaze swept over everyone.

"Mas... Revered Master, it was... I did it."

Yang Lingchen didn't even dare to breathe heavily and slowly walked over.

At this moment, a malicious smile appeared at the corner of Dongfang Jie's mouth.

"As expected of my Disciple, to actually be able to cripple the Saint of the Demon Cloud Sect." Dongfang Yunbing's voice instantly became soft.

"What's the situation?"

"Wasn't she just looking like she was going to eat someone?"

The Elders and Disciples were all dumbfounded.

Yang Lingchen was also very surprised. He had been startled by Dongfang Yunbing's expression just now, thinking he was in for a severe reprimand. He didn't expect that instead of scolding him, she would say he did well.

"Chener, from now on, live next to me. Do not leave the residence at will without reason." Dongfang Yunbing instructed.

"Yes, Revered Master." Yang Lingchen nodded. He knew Dongfang Yunbing was protecting him.

"During this time, various major forces are gathered in Northern Profound City. Everyone must pay attention to safety when going out. You may all leave now!" Dongfang Yunbing said indifferently.

"Yes, Palace Master."

Everyone responded and then all withdrew.
