Chapter Fifty-Nine: Turbulent Clouds Gather

  Beiming House, Cold Ice Pavilion.

  The Ice Pavilion is built with snow and ice rocks, which are natural cold stones that emit a chilling air even on hot summer days.

  The Ice Pavilion has nine floors, dozens of feet high, with cold air emanating from it, resembling a chilly ice mountain.

  This is Beiming Xiong's place of bitter cultivation.

  The "Extreme Frost Flame" martial soul of the Northern Ming family, with a naturally cold temperament, is greatly benefited by cultivating in this icy pavilion made of snow and ice.

  Generally speaking, Beiming Xiong will not leave this Ice Pavilion unless he has refined a precious treasure.

  Everyone who comes to Beiming's house for a visit has to endure the icy cold air of the Ice Pavilion and must see him in the Ice Pavilion.

  Bei Ming hurt this person and never considered others' feelings, only making people accommodate him.

  From the first floor to the ninth floor of the Ice Pavilion, the cold air gradually intensified. Even ordinary young masters from the Northern Ming family could only wait on the third or fourth floor when they came to visit him. If they went any higher, their bodies would be somewhat unbearable.

  Six layers of Ice Pavilion.

  In the center of a towering ice pillar, sat the majestic Northern Myriad Injuries, his body surrounded by a thick aura of cold air that refused to dissipate. On the sixth floor of this Ice Pavilion, strange and exotic flames of icy fire burned on each of the pillars, making the chill in the air even more biting and bone-piercing.

  Mo Du furrowed his brow, standing opposite Bei Ming Xiang in the North Ming Hall. Beside him stood the handsome Bei Ming Ce.

  Yin Kui and Jiushan sat behind two ice pillars, their brows lowered as if they had fallen asleep.

  Under the leadership of a warrior in the Ice Pavilion, Mu Yu Die and Di Ya Lan arrived at the sixth floor of the Ice Pavilion.

  The chill in this layer is twice as heavy as the fifth layer!

  As soon as the two women stepped into the sixth floor, their slender bodies trembled slightly, and they felt as if they had entered an ice cave. Even their hands and feet began to stiffen gradually.

  "You're here." Beiming Ce took a step forward, gave Mu Yu Die a glance, and said: "This is my grandfather, and this is... the master of the Mo family."

  Mu Yu Die and Di Ya Lan's faces changed simultaneously, the two of them glanced at Mo Duo, their facial expressions seemingly stiffening.

  Luohao's death was clearly stated by Hulong, apart from Barnard and Mingyue's interference, there were also flashes of lightning descending from the sky...

  Afterwards, the two women also saw Mo Zhao Ge and knew about Luo Hao's death. Mo Zhao Ge must have been involved in it.

  Unfortunately, the Mo family also has a great influence in the business alliance, and they have some dealings with the Bei Ming family. At that time, Bei Ming Ce simply drank away Mo Chao Ge, obviously not wanting to get entangled with the Mo family, and had no intention of taking sides for her.

  At this moment in the Northern Ming House, they suddenly saw the master of the Mo family. Mu Yu Die and Di Ya Lan naturally had some displeasure in their hearts, but in front of Bei Ming Xiang, it wasn't good to show anything, so they could only secretly harbor resentment.

  "Have seen Grandfather North Ming." Mu Yu Die and Di Ya Lan, both bowed to pay their respects to Bei Ming Xiang, but deliberately ignored Mo Duo.

  Mo Duo's expression remained unchanged, with a faint smile still lingering at the corners of his mouth, as if he didn't care about Mu Yu Die and Di Ya Lan's disregard.

  "I heard you spent some time with a young boy in the Dark Forest? I have something to ask him, do you know his background?" Beiming Shang nodded slightly, her slender eyes without any special expression, directly asking questions.

  Mu Yu's butterfly-like heart skipped a beat, and after hesitating for a moment, he said: "He's just an insignificant little martial artist, how would Grandfather know about someone like him?"

  "There's something on him that I want." Bei Ming furrowed his brow slightly and said, "Do you know where that little guy came from?"

  Shaking her head, Mu Yudie said: "I'm not clear, we also met him on the road by chance. Because I was afraid of the demon beast killing people, so I traveled with him, as for this person's origin, I really don't know much, only knowing that his name is Ding Yan, and he seems to be an ordinary warrior from the Merchant Alliance."

  "Ding Yan..." Bei Ming Xiang nodded and paused for a moment before asking, "Do you know which city he's from and where he usually appears?"

  "I don't know." Mu Yudie shook her head again.

  The northern dark suddenly fell silent, and after a while, he said faintly: "Alright, nothing's wrong. The martial arts competition will be held soon, you two can go with Ce'er to take a look. Staying here every day, I think you'll get bored too. In the past, your grandfather and I had some friendship, now that he's not around, I'll naturally take good care of you. Don't worry, the people from Dark will absolutely not dare to move against you in the business alliance."

  "Thank you, Uncle Xiang." Mu Yudie's eyes gradually became moist, and she choked back a sob: "Whenever I think of my family's misfortune, I wish I could grind those people into dust! My entire family of over a hundred people was slaughtered in one night. Uncle Xiang, you must avenge me!"

  "This matter can't be rushed, let's talk about it later." Beiming nodded and waved his hand: "You all go rest well, this floor is too cold, I'm afraid your cultivation won't be able to withstand it."

  "Hmm." Mu Yudie didn't say anything else either, bowed again and followed Diya Lan out.

  "Will that girl hide the truth?" After Mu Yutian and the two women left, Mo Du furrowed his brow and said, "There's only one name, searching for it will be very troublesome."

  "Zi'er, what do you think?" Beiming Shang glanced at Beiming Ce.

  "It doesn't seem like a lie, I'll find another chance to ask again. Anyway, the remaining maps in the Xuanxu Pavilion are still there, so it's not urgent for now." Beiming Ce replied.

  Beiming nodded and said, "Mm-hmm, you're staring at those two girls. Remember not to be misled by others. I don't want you to become a sword in someone else's hand, got it?"

  "Grandfather, I have a plan in mind." Bei Ming said with a smile.

  "Mo, little brother, don't worry about this matter. I'll send someone to notify the Shi and Zuo families to keep an eye on Ding Yan together. Don't worry, I'll take care of it in my own name, and won't drag you into it." Bei Ming Shang said proudly: "With the five major families of our business alliance working together to find him, I don't believe we can't catch a commoner! Hmm, remember to send that kid's portrait over later. As long as he's alive, he definitely won't be able to escape."

  "Well, I'll take my leave then." Mo Duo didn't say much more, nodded his head and left directly.

  "Bei, pay attention to Zuo Shi from the Zuo family. She's been in contact with Chi Xiao. If you can bring her back home, it'll save us a lot of trouble." After Mo Duo left, Bei Ming Shang glanced at Bei Ming Ce and said calmly, "That girl is naturally talented and is also Zuo Xū's precious darling. She's quite willful too. If you can tame her, even the old man Zuo won't be able to do anything and will have to tie himself to our Bei Ming family."

  "No rush, one at a time." Beiming said confidently.

  He nodded, and Bei Ming Xiong continued: "Mu Yu Die that girl, her innate talent is indeed not bad, but the sound law martial soul is overbearing, it doesn't have much help for our Bei Ming family's 'Extreme Frost Flame' martial soul. On the other hand, that girl named Di Ya Lan, who possesses the 'Blue Devil Flame' martial soul, might actually complement our family's 'Extreme Frost Flame' martial soul. You should keep a close eye on her, if you can combine with her, she might be able to give birth to an outstanding descendant for our Bei Ming family."

  "Grandpa, don't worry, what I'm looking at won't run away."

  "Hmm, since you've come to our Beiming family, don't think about leaving."

  ……

  Left home.

  Zuo Xiao was leisurely drinking tea in the side room, when a shadowy figure crouched behind the screen and reported: "Someone from the Beiming Manor has sent a message over, asking us to find a young man named 'Ding Yan', saying that this young man had stolen something from their Beiming Manor. As long as we can find him, they are willing to offer five Xuan-level weapons."

  "Five Xuan-level weapons." Zuo Yu sipped his tea, smiling lightly: "Bei Ming Xiang is indeed consistent in being petty. He wants to exchange five Xuan-level weapons for half of the map leading to 'Tian Men', he's got a good calculation going on."

  "What should we do, master?"

  "Find one, let's have our people make some noise in each city, but don't take it too seriously, just find a few guys named Ding Yan to deal with it, and also avoid arousing that guy's suspicion."

  "I understand."

  ……

  Shi family

  Shi Jian also received the same message, sneering as he held the envelope, saying: "It seems that Mo Tuo has found trouble with Bei Ming Xiong. Hmph! Luckily, Shi Yan that little brat told me the truth, otherwise I wouldn't have known about the situation. Bei Ming Xiong, you probably can't even dream of it - Ding Yan is actually Shi Yan! He actually got me to help him find someone, heh heh, then I'll help him search thoroughly!"

  "How did you find me?" Han Feng said calmly.

  "Find a few people related to Mo Jia, they all became dumbfounded, just say that they are all called Ding Yan, and send them to the Bei Ming family."

  "Okay."

  ……

  Beiming Family, Zuoshi Family, Mo Family, Shi Family, Ling Family, these five major families of the Shangmeng Alliance, in various cities within the Shangmeng Alliance, either openly or secretly, are all searching for a person named "Dingyan".

  At one time, the name "Ding Yan" quickly became popular in Shangmeng.

  Many people named "Ding Yan" were implicated, and were taken away by the members of the Five Great Families. Many others who had close ties with the Mo Family but were not named "Ding Yan" also suffered unjustly, being beaten into disability, becoming mute, and were sent to the Bei Ming Manor.

  As the martial arts conference is about to begin, the warriors of the business alliance are all sharpening their fists, and some warriors from afar have also come from thousands of miles away for the martial arts conference.

  It's hilarious that many warriors who came forward were directly taken down by the Five Great Families because their name was "Ding Yan".

  In one night, "Ding Yan" became a street rat, with everyone shouting and beating him.

  And the one who started it all was still in the Stone family's gravity room, poking at an iron sandbag with his fingers tens of thousands of times a day.

  Every time he thrusts his finger in, the heavy iron sandbags weighing hundreds of pounds suspended high up in the gravity room would be pierced with a deep hole.

  "Hmph!"

  Shi Yan's five fingers were inserted straight into the iron sandbag, his arm directly sinking deep into the center. When he pulled out his arm, his five fingers actually flickered with a strange cold light, as if they were made of gold and iron knives, extremely frightening.

  "Hmm, the martial arts conference is about to begin, and the storm of the Lingyin Pavilion is also approaching. My 'Finger Gun Technique' has finally achieved some small success."
