Chapter 509 - News
The following day, Yun Lintian's injuries were almost fully recovered. All the broken bones were already returned to their original places. This terrifying recovery speed was another thing that was improved significantly after he became the Heaven Profound Realm's practitioner.
Yun Lintian rewarded himself with a sumptuous breakfast and immediately set off afterward. His goal was the Blue Tide City, one of the biggest cities in the northern area of the continent.
After witnessing Rain Woman's horrible power, Yun Lintian decided to leave the Central Continent as soon as possible. He was afraid that she would suddenly remember him and chase after him. Anyway, he basically had nothing to do here in the Central Continent and the next mythical realm that was about to open was located in the Western Continent.
Yun Lintian didn't use Shadow Step to travel like before. He chose to fly instead. His flying speed was not low at all. In a few breaths, he had already traveled more than a hundred kilometers.
Along the way, Yun Lintian would occasionally survey the ground to see if there were any living beings. However, he actually didn't find anything in the end, which made him puzzled… Why the hell is there nothing here?
According to commonsense, it was impossible for a place rich in profound energy to be absent from living beings. At least, there should be some low-level profound beasts or ordinary wild animals.
Wait a minute. Don't tell me… Yun Lintian became alerted and spread his Spiritual Sense out to the maximum range. He was afraid that Rain Woman was secretly following him. However, when he found no one had followed him and there was no rain in these hundreds of kilometers radius, he heaved a sigh of relief and totally calmed down.
"I will lose my mind one day if this continues." He muttered to himself and increased his speed, further flying toward the north direction. It seemed Rain Woman's insanely high strength had left a trace of shadow in Yun Lintian's heart without him knowing.
As he flew for several hours, Yun Lintian began to see some people appear on the road. They were either walking by foot or riding carriages. Judging by the direction they were heading to, their destination was naturally the Blue Tide City.
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and decided to fly down when he was about to reach a small town ahead. According to the map, this town was called Cyan Wind Town. It was located around four hundred kilometers south of Blue Tide City. There were quite a number of residents, and a lot of travelers would pass by. This place could be considered a popular resting spot before reaching Blue Tide City.
Yun Lintian followed a line of travelers into the town and found a relatively less crowded inn to enter.
After choosing a table and ordering the food, Yun Lintian calmly glanced around the place. There were around fifty people in this dining hall. With a glance, Yun Lintian could roughly guess their strength.
The strongest one here was at least the seventh level of the Saint Profound Realm, while the rest was around the Ruler and Heaven Profound Realm. No one in this place, including the waitress and innkeeper, had strength lower than the Earth Profound Realm, which made Yun Lintian surprised slightly.
Compared to the Northern Continent, the average strength of people here was much higher. He couldn't help lamenting inwardly. It was no wonder why the Northern Continent was regarded as the weakest.
"I heard that Black Wing's ship is about to reach the Blue Tide City's port today. Is it true?" A bulky man wearing silver armor on the biggest table at the center of the inn asked.
Sitting opposite him was a tall man carrying a huge machete on his back. He took a big gulp of wine and answered with a grin. "Of course, it's true. My cousin told me yesterday. This time, we definitely have a chance to board the ship."
A hint of excitement appeared on the bulky man's face. He hurriedly poured the wine for the tall man and said. "That's great! I've been waiting for years now."
Black Wing's ship?… Yun Lintian's ears pricked up. He was slightly confused as he didn't know why these two people were so excited about this ship.
"With just you two? You better forget about it." At this moment, a man in a black robe suddenly chimed in. His eyes were full of contempt when he looked at the bulky man and his friend.
The tall man with the machete frowned in dissatisfaction. He glanced at the black-robed man from head to toe and asked coldly. "This friend, it's none of your business, right?"
"None of my business?" The black-robed man laughed disdainfully. "I am a Black Wing's member. Do you think it's none of my business?"
The tall man burst into cold laughter. "You? Black Wing's member? Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? I can see that your strength is only at the peak of Heaven Profound Realm. If you are really a Black Wing member, why am I not be one?"
The tall man possessed the strength of the first level of the Ruler Profound Realm. With his qualification alone, it was indeed as he said. He should become a Black Wing member by now.
Suddenly, a black token with an engraved wing shape appeared on the black-robed man. He raised it to the air, letting everyone get a clear look at it, and said. "Open your eyes and look at this."
"This…" The tall man's eyes widened open in shock. He didn't expect this black-robed man was really a member of the Black Wing Mercenary Group. Thinking that he had offended the opposite party earlier, he couldn't help regret it in his heart. Looked like his opportunity to get into the Black Wing's ship was gone now.
"How is it? Is it my business now?" The black-robed sneered. His gaze swept over everyone in the dining hall and said loudly. "Anyone wants to board the Black Wing's ship this time have to prepare yourself well… Recently, there are more and more Endless Sea Profound Beasts appearing on the route. We, Black Wing, are preparing to go to war with them.. If you don't want to throw your life away, it's better for you to stay here."
