The commotion Han Bingling created had alarmed all the four clans of Thunder City, and they immediately sent their personnel to see what was going on. Especially the city lord, Fu Tiangang, who was in a closed-door practice. When he perceived Han Bingling's aura, he hurriedly returned from his seclusion and went straight in Han Bingling's direction.

Han Bingling continued to exert her power on Lei Jun and his guards until they could not bear it anymore. Just as she was about to make a killing move, a tall figure suddenly appeared between her and Lei Jun's group, repelling Han Bingling's power.

Han Bingling's expression didn't change in the slightest, as though he had already expected this person to appear. She retracted her finger and said. "Lei Zhu."

The tall figure in a white robe was the Thunder Guard's leader, Lei Zhu. The rumor said that his strength was only second to Lei Zhenxiang. From his action to dispel Han Bingling's power earlier, it seemed to the rumor was true.

Lei Zhu's appearance was similar to a young man in his early twenties, which proved his vitality was extremely vigorous. His face was cold as if he didn't have any emotion. He glanced at Lei Jun to check him up briefly and then turned to Han Bingling. "Please forgive him this time, Palace Master Han."

Han Bingling and Lei Zhu looked at each other for a while before Han Bingling smiled faintly. "Since you were the one who said this, I'll forgive him this time." She paused for a moment and stared at Lei Jun. "This will be the last time. I can't guarantee he would survive next time."

Lei Zhu nodded and said. "Please give my Thunder Guard an instruction."

Han Bingling was accustomed to Lei Zhu's cold demeanor. She didn't feel anything wrong when he asked her for instruction directly. "Thunder Valley is about to open. Your Thunder Guard has nothing to do here. I'll send your team to this place." Han Bingling said and threw a jade slip to Lei Zhu.

Lei Zhu grabbed the jade slip and read its content before crushing the jade slip into powders and brought Lei Jun away under Han Bingling's cold gaze.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhu." Lei Jun said gratefully. If Lei Zhu did not appear, he was certain his life would end here today.

Lei Zhu glanced at him and said. "You should not provoke her."

Lei Jun nodded and asked hesitantly. "She is weaker than Uncle Zhu, right?"

Lei Zhu was expressionless as he replied. "You need to cultivate your mind more. With your current mindset, you will definitely die when facing an enemy with a deep mind."

Lei Jun wasn't an idiot. He immediately understood that he had underestimated Han Bingling. It seemed she wasn't any inferior to Lei Zhu. He went silent and followed Lei Zhu to his residence.

After seeing Lei Zhu's group went away, Han Bingling turned around and prepared to visit Blue Moon inn. However, before she could move, Fu Tiangang suddenly appeared before her with his head lowered.

"I've seen Palace Master Han." Fu Tiangang greeted respectfully.

Looking at the old man in front of her, Han Bingling said softly. "You've worked hard during this time."

Fu Tiangang straightened his body and replied modestly. "This is nothing when compared with Palace Master Han. This old man is only playing a city guard role. Meanwhile, Palace Master Han has to shoulder the entire Northern Continent." 

Han Bingling smiled faintly and then swept her gaze on the people who were lurking around here. "Why are you guys still lurking like a rat?"

As her voice fell, several figures appeared at the end of the streets and hurriedly went to kneel in front of Han Bingling. "We have seen Palace Master Han."

"Where are your masters? Why don't they come?" Fu Tiangang frowned when he saw these people. All of them were errand boys from the other three clans. This was clearly disrespecting Han Bingling by sending them here.

Everyone who knelt on the ground shuddered upon hearing this. They could perceive a trace of fury in Fu Tiangang's voice. At this moment, they cursed their own masters for sending them here. Who would have thought the one who caused the commotion turned to be the Frozen Moon Palace Master?

"Are you muted?" Fu Tiangang scolded while releasing his second-level Monarch Profound Realm's aura.

The group of men was hurriedly answered in unison. "Our masters are in seclusion right now. Please spare us, City Lord."

A strange light flashed across Han Bingling's eyes, and her lips curled up into a charming smile. She waved her hand and said. "Go back."

The group of men heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. They quickly kowtowed at Han Bingling and fled away.

Han Bingling turned to Fu Tiangang and asked. "How's the situation here?"

Fu Tiangang checked the surroundings and said. "Shall we find other places, Palace Master Han?"

Han Bingling thought for a moment and then sighed softly. "It seems I have to let that bastard live for a while."

Fu Tiangang looked at Han Bingling in confusion. Who was she talking about?

"Let's go." Han Bingling waved her hand, and both of them instantly vanished from the spot.

Meanwhile, Yun Lintian had finally decided to visit Thunder Valley after pondering for a long time. He didn't know whether he could enter Thunder Valley right away before the entrance was opened, but he wanted to give it a try. 

Yun Lintian went to see Lan Shuiying and Lan Ning. "Sister Lan, Senior Lan. I am going to leave the city now. Thank you for your help during this period."

Lan Shuiying was surprised and asked. "Why are you leaving so soon?" Yesterday, when she returned to her room, she went straight to the bed and slept soundly, without knowing Qi Yuanfeng's incident.

Yun Lintian glanced at Lan Ning and understood she didn't tell Lan Shuiying about it. He smiled. "I can't practice by staying here. I wish Sister Lan good luck on the academy's assessment."
