Hearing Bai Hanbing admit defeat, all the members of the Ice Palace looked as if their worldview had been shattered.
They could not believe that Bai Hanbing, who had defeated everyone in the southeast region, would admit defeat to a youth.
Xiao Shuang stood rooted to the ground and stared blankly at Lin Yun's back. All sorts of feelings welled up in her. Shock, despair, envy, jealousy, shame, and regret.
At that moment, an unrealistic fantasy appeared in her mind.
If she had not betrayed Lin Yun and chosen Kang Nam-gun, what would be the result?
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
Now, she could not take revenge against Lin Yun, nor could she be with Lin Yun again.
"Palace Master White, since you lost to my king, according to the previous bet, the Ice Palace should join our alliance," the Country Guarding Emperor stood up and said to Bai Hanbing.
Bai Hanbing said righteously, "Don't worry. My words carry enormous weight. Since I have promised, I will not go back on my word."
Bai Hanbing turned to face all the members of the Ice Palace and said solemnly, "Now, I officially announce that the Ice Palace will join the eight-nation alliance."
In reality, the assassinations were getting more frequent. Bai Hanbing had long been prepared for danger.
She knew that the Ice Palace might be targeted and had thought about forming an alliance with other factions. However, because there was no one who could deal with a Martial Ancestor, she had given up on the idea. She could only pray that the Ice Palace would not be targeted.
Now that the person who could deal with a Martial Ancestor had appeared, she saw a glimmer of hope. Hence, she was willing to join the alliance.
Hearing Bai Hanbing's words, the Country Guarding Emperor finally relaxed. "With Palace Master White's words, we can rest assured. As for the alliance, Palace Master White, please come to the Qin Palace and discuss the details with the leaders of the eight nations. "
"Okay, I will." Bai Hanbing nodded.
The Country Guarding Emperor and Lin Yun looked at each other and then said politely to Bai Hanbing, "We still have to go to the Puppet Sect to convince them to join the alliance. Hence, we will not disturb you. Goodbye."
Hearing about the Puppet Sect, Bai Hanbing frowned. "This old guy is very stubborn. I am afraid he will not agree so easily. I know him better. I think it's better for me to go with you and convince him together. "
Since Bai Hanbing had already joined the Alliance, she naturally hoped that the Alliance would become stronger. She hoped that the Puppet Sect would join as well.
Hearing Bai Hanbing's words, the Country King was delighted and said, "It would be great if Palace Master White is willing to help."
The few of them quickly set off on their journey. They rode the Berserk Winged Dragon and flew towards the Puppet Sect's location.
…
The Puppet Sect was close to the Nanchang Kingdom, and it was located in the south of the southeastern region. It was several thousand meters away from the Frost Palace, and even if they rode on the Berserk Winged Dragon, it would still take them more than half a day to get there.
As soon as Lin Yun and the others entered the Nanchang Kingdom, night had already fallen quietly. Because there were no big cities at the border, they had to spend the night in a small town nearby.
To avoid causing panic among the town's residents, Lin Yun could only let the Pterosaur land five kilometers away from the town. Then, the few of them would walk there.
This small town was not big. There was only one street in total, and it was a few miles long from east to west.
Lin Yun and the others found an inn with a slightly better environment in the center of the town and stayed there for the night.
After getting a room, the few of them ordered some appetizers and started to enjoy.
Apart from Lin Yun and the others, there were many other guests in the inn. Almost all of them were residents of the town. However, there were also two travel-worn swordsmen.
These people's cultivation was very low. They were all below the Martial Warrior level, so they did not have the ability to detect one's cultivation.
In addition, Lin Yun and the others had deliberately concealed their auras. Therefore, no one could sense their powerful auras.
The atmosphere in the inn was originally harmonious.
However, the appearance of two mysterious people suddenly made the atmosphere in the inn oppressive.
They were two mysterious people wearing straw hats and black robes. One of them was tall and muscular, while the other was slender and slender. They were obviously a man and a woman.
The two of them were dressed so tightly that not even an inch of their skin was exposed. Only a pair of cold eyes could be seen. Their eyes were sharp and overflowing with killing intent.
Just the look in their eyes showed that they were not ordinary people. One look and one could tell that they were experts among experts. However, Lin Yun could not sense any fluctuation of vitality from them.
Unless they were the top assassins, it was impossible to conceal their auras to such an extent.
These two people were obviously not simple!
The moment the two of them walked into the inn, they also noticed that there were two people at Lin Yun's table who were not simple.
However, they did not reveal anything strange. They just pulled out the stools at the table opposite Lin Yun and sat down calmly.
The waiter of the inn asked respectfully, "What would you like to order?"
"Wine and meat." The tall and muscular man spat out two words coldly.
"Food." The slender woman also spat out two words coldly.
As the two of them spoke, their eyes were fixed in front of them. They did not use any body language. Their tone was also cold and emotionless. They were like two inhumane cold-blooded animals.
"Alright, I'll go now." The waiter did not dare to ask any more questions and immediately ran into the kitchen.
Perhaps it was the murderous aura that the two of them exuded that made the guests in the inn feel oppressed. For a moment, the entire inn was dead silent. Even the sound of everyone's breathing could be heard clearly.
Bai Hanbing narrowed her eyes slightly. She was extremely suspicious of the two of them. However, she did not act immediately. Instead, she sat in her seat and quietly observed the situation.
Lin Yun was also suspicious of the two of them. However, he also sat in his seat and ate and drank calmly. He appeared to be calmer than Bai Hanbing.
Whether it was Lin Yun or Bai Hanbing, they both knew very well that if the identity of the two of them was as they had guessed, then the upcoming battle was inevitable. Therefore, before confirming the identity and cultivation of the two of them, it was best not to reveal their strength.
Just like that, the entire inn passed in a depressing atmosphere for a few minutes.
Whether it was Lin Yun's group or the two mysterious people, they were all eating normally and did not show any abnormalities. The two of them did not even look at each other from the beginning to the end. It was as if they existed in two different spaces.
"Everyone in the town, listen up. Hand over all the money in your town to me. Otherwise, I'll kill all of you!"
A rough male voice suddenly sounded outside the inn and broke the depressing atmosphere in the inn.
For a moment, everyone in the inn could not help but panic.
"Oh no! It's the mountain bandits from Qiuming Mountain Gang. Those bastards are causing trouble in the town again! "
