Lord of the night.

Chapter 1356 Anomaly [Bonus Chapter 2 for the Alliance Leader "Nothing But Right and Wrong"]

Bing Tianxue stepped forward, squatted down, and looked at the flames.

Her pretty face was full of seriousness.

Her fair palms gathered cold air, and when she placed them on the fire, she could feel the cold air retreating and melting.

"Yes... the flames that burned someone haven't finished burning yet." Feng Yun recounted what had happened.

"The old lady in blue?"

Bing Tianxue frowned, utterly shocked: "He burned a ninth-rank Saint Lord with one hand? When did such a master appear in this mortal realm?! How come I didn't know about him?"

"It seems to be Zhao Ying'er's master."

Feng Yun said.

"Huh? Zhao Ying'er? She's here?"

Yan Beihan, with his sharp ears, immediately caught the rather threatening name.

"Yes."

Feng Yun had no choice but to explain what had just happened again.

"Could it be that the Phoenix Clan truly exists in this mortal realm?"

Yan Beihan's handsome eyebrows furrowed.

"You'll know once you get to know them."

Chen Xue said.

"I've encountered the Heavenly Fire Phoenix in the Three Realms..."

A hint of apprehension flashed in Yan Beihan's beautiful eyes: "Although we have eaten Qiongxiao Flower, it still takes a long time for this thing to fully recover."

"Try to avoid contact with Zhao Ying'er in the future."

Feng Yun frowned and said.

"I'm afraid it's unavoidable," Yan Beihan sighed. Others might be able to avoid it, but it seemed that he and Bi Yunyan couldn't avoid Zhao Ying'er.

Feng Yun was taken aback: "You have a grudge against her?"

“…No,” Yan Beihan said.

"Then why can't it be avoided?" Feng Yun asked in surprise.

But Yan Beihan turned and left: "What were you three talking about just now?"

Feng Yun: "???"

Ice and Snow: "???"

Just as he was about to say something, he saw a group of people in front of him, dressed in ancient robes, who looked like immortals who had stepped out of a painting, floating towards him.

The person in charge was actually an acquaintance.

People from the Heavenly Palace!

The people leading the team were actually Jiang Bihuang and Jiang Bixiao.

"Are the people from the Heavenly Palace also trying to break into the Cloud Weapon Ranking?"

Yan Beihan and Feng Yun were both stunned. When did people from secluded sects start participating in the Cloud Weapon Ranking? This whole thing is getting weirder and weirder.
"Jiang Bihuang!"

Yan Beihan, with his hands behind his back, looked down at Yan Beihan and asked, "Does the secluded mountain sect also want to compete for the Cloud Weapon Ranking?"

Jiang Bihuang stopped in her tracks, looked up at Yan Beihan, who was dressed in black and exuded elegance, and couldn't help but be captivated by her.

When they were in the Yin-Yang realm, Jiang Bihuang once told his sister Jiang Bixiao, "The only person in this world qualified to be your sister-in-law is Yan Beihan."

Although Jiang Bihuang never explicitly confessed her feelings to Yan Beihan, her admiration for him was deeply rooted.

Now, when they meet again, Yan Beihan is even more stunningly beautiful than before.

Jiang Bihuang's heart stirred again, but the other party's ultimate goal was still to split up the secluded mountain sect, and the Heavenly Palace would inevitably be Yan Beihan's last stop.

Therefore, the two sides are destined to be rivals.

Even mortal enemies.

How could a Heavenly Palace, which has existed for tens of thousands of years, be allowed to be devoured by the 10,000-year-old Sovereign Sect? That's simply a joke!

"Hello, Miss Yan."

Jiang Bihuang stood tall and elegant, with a warm and composed face and a straight posture. He was truly a handsome man: "It's been a few years since I last saw you, Miss. Your charm is even greater than before."

Yan Beihan frowned: "I'm asking you, when will your Heavenly Palace also try to break into the Cloud Weapon Ranking? Just answer my question."

Jiang Bihuang smiled faintly, her manner gentle and refined: "Miss Yan, this is also our first time trying to climb the rankings, and we don't have much experience. We hope Miss Yan can give us some guidance. I am very much looking forward to it."

Yan Beihan was a little confused.

What is this for?
People always call me Miss Yan, so why is she calling me Miss Yan today?
Besides, what did I ask? What did you answer? It's completely irrelevant. Why don't you just answer the question properly?

Feng Yun pursed his lips, swallowed hard, and almost burst out laughing. He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would either laugh out loud or choke and cough...

Bi Yunyan whispered to Yan Beihan from behind: "Big sister, seize the opportunity, he wants to woo you."

"!!!"

It turned out to be the case.

Yan Beihan felt nauseous immediately.

Turning to look at Bi Yunyan, he felt an urge to kick this concubine out of the house.

He grabbed Bi Yunyan and said, "Go deal with him, yell at him!"

Bi Yunyan was stunned: "...I don't know how."

Yan Beihan forcefully pushed her away: "Say something nasty, and tell him to get lost!"

Miss Yan refused to even speak to Jiang Bihuang anymore. So she pushed her concubine out as a weapon.

Bi Yunyan was pushed forward and looked at Jiang Bihuang with a charming smile: "Jiang Bihuang? Young Palace Master Jiang, is that right?"

"Yes, may I ask who you are, young lady?" "I am your great-grandmother!"

Bi Yunyan cursed, "Get lost! How dare you even think about our Miss Yan? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? Look at you, your thoughts are written all over your face. What, are there no women left in the Heavenly Palace? Is this the kind of person the Heavenly Palace has to produce? You're a disgrace!"

Jiang Bihuang's face turned purple on the spot.

Jiang Bixiao stood to the side, feeling utterly ashamed for her brother.

Jiang Bixiao sensed something was off about what her brother had just said; it was a bit... too sycophantic.

Jiang Bihuang took a deep breath: "Miss Yan, as the saying goes, a fair maiden is sought after by a gentleman; I have not committed any heinous crime, nor have I done anything out of line, so isn't this a bit much?"

Chen Xue smiled faintly: "You've gone too far with that? So what do you want Xiao Han to say? Based on your hints, give us a time and place to meet you? Have some tea? Explain the rules of the Cloud Weapon Ranking to you? And then you can show your manners, show yourself, and spend more time together, is that not too much to ask? Young Master Jiang, you're good at using universal morality to blackmail women."

"You can pursue women, and women can reject you. What? You think it's a gentleman's pursuit when you're attracted to them, but it's excessive when they reject you? Jiang Bihuang, if you had just backed down, we would have respected your ability to be flexible and be a man; we didn't expect you to be so persistent?"

Jiang Bihuang's face turned completely red.

Jiang Bixiao took a deep breath and stepped forward: "It was my brother who offended us. I'm sorry."

As a woman, Jiang Bixiao understood this principle.

The Heavenly Palace and the Wild Goose in the North have always been enemies.

When Yan Beihan saw Jiang Bihuang come to compete for the Cloud Weapon Ranking, it wasn't unreasonable for him to ask her a question.

It's not just Yanbei Han; the Heavenly Palace and the Underworld haven't competed for the Cloud Weapon Ranking for ten thousand years. Now that they've suddenly appeared, it's clearly abnormal.

I ask other people too.

However, Jiang Bihuang's reply revealed his ulterior motives.

As a girl, you're extremely sensitive to this, not to mention there are so many people from the "We Are the Righteous Sect" watching. What are they supposed to do? Have you considered the impact if they really treat you coldly?

How many people in the Weiwo Zhengjiao sect are eyeing a woman like Yan Beihan?
Yan Beihan looked at Jiang Bixiao, finally nodded, and said coldly, "Take your brother away."

Yan Beihan also sighed and let the matter go.

She was a very reasonable person: it's normal for men to be attracted to beautiful women. If that were the basis for sentencing, then practically every man in the world would deserve to die.

So it's fine if they refuse.

If we continue to press the matter, it will only damage her reputation.

Of course, Bi Yunyan's reputation... cough, what does a concubine need reputation for? Let me scold her.

Jiang Bixiao pulled Jiang Bihuang away. Jiang Bihuang's face turned purple the whole way, and he also had an indescribable sense of dejection.

He felt that his status and position were a good match for Yan Beihan, and that wasn't bad, was it? Besides, given Yan Beihan's status and position, it wouldn't be appropriate for them to form a marriage alliance within the Weiwo Zhengjiao sect, would it?

From any perspective, this should not be the case.

"Brother, you have no chance."

Jiang Bixiao, being a girl, saw things clearly: "Even if Yan Beihan doesn't dislike you and just treats you like a stranger, you still have hope. But right now, the way she looks at you is like looking at... well, you know, it's disgusting, so don't even think about it."

Jiang Bihuang looked dejected: "Is there really not even the slightest hope?"

Jiang Bixiao sighed: "Brother, how do you feel when you look at Uncle Wu's daughter, and how does Yan Beihan feel when he looks at you... what do you think?"

Jiang Bihuang broke down: "Da Ni'er is congenitally mentally challenged, okay...!! She's still wetting her pants, how could I possibly..."

He was halfway through his sentence when he noticed his younger sister looking at him with pity.

Jiang Bihuang was immediately distraught: "...I understand."

"Let's go."

Jiang Bixiao said softly, "Your words have caused quite a bit of trouble. It will be even harder for us to climb the rankings. I estimate that many more people will die."

She said this using telepathy.

Jiang Bihuang felt even worse.

Behind.

Bi Yunyan smiled and said, "Xiao Han is so charming, look how captivated you are. You must have charmed people in the Yin-Yang Realm."

Yan Beihan squinted and said, "If you want to get beaten up, say a few more words."

"I don't dare anymore."

Feng Yun had already walked over, frowning as he looked at Bi Yunyan: "Yunyan, what you said just now was a bit harsh, not something a girl should say."

Bi Yunyan stuck out her tongue and lowered her head, saying, "I was wrong."

I thought to myself, "My wife wants me to use harsher language, what can I do? I'm helpless too..."

"We've reunited, let's go."

Feng Yun said, "Our people should be arriving soon."

"How do you feel about this surge in the rankings?" Yan Beihan asked.

Why did the secluded mountain sect get involved?

Feng Yun frowned and said, "This matter... is somewhat bizarre. Moreover, the Divine Weasel Sect and the Spirit Serpent Sect originally didn't participate. Now, Zhao Ying'er, who inherited the Phoenix God's legacy, has been added... This is completely different from the Cloud Weapon Ranking of the past. Lord Yan, what do you think?"

“I also felt it was strange. That’s why I asked Jiang Bihuang, but I didn’t expect…”

Yan Beihan gave a wry smile and said, "But this time, it seems that only our righteous sect will bear the brunt."

"It's inevitable."

Feng Yun frowned and said, "Many of these people are probably not here to climb the rankings, but to block the 'Only My Righteous Sect'!"

"I feel the same way."

Yan Beihan asked, "Because I'm splitting up the secluded mountain sect?"

"Not only that. There's also the reason for the outcome of the struggle between the three realms."

Feng Yun said, "But I don't know if there are any other forces involved. If another unfamiliar force appears in this situation, Lord Yan, I wouldn't be surprised at all."
