Myth Beyond Heaven

Tian Yuhan swept her gaze over the crowd and asked calmly. “Is there anyone still questioning my decision. I give you a chance to speak it now.”

The entire Sacred Hall went completely silent at this moment. Everyone hadn’t yet recovered from the shock Yun Lintian gave them. Many of them even doubted whether Yun Lintian concealed his true strength… Since when did a Divine Spirit Realm practitioner become this strong?

The other peak masters looked at Yun Lintian as their lips moved several times, but none of them could utter a word. What else could they say? This result was something that no one could have predicted and was one that no one dared to believe. 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝗹．𝐨𝗿𝗴

“I have an objection.”

Amidst the silence, Tian Jia suddenly spoke out, causing everyone to subconsciously look at her.

Tian Yuhan looked at her and asked. “Why?”

Tian Jia took a deep breath and turned to Tian Hualing. “I would like to ask, where did you discover him, and why did you bring him over?”

Everyone in the hall turned to Tian Hualing immediately, waiting for her explanation. They were curious about it as well.

Tian Hualing replied truthfully. “He was recommended by Young Miss Shen of the Mystic Auction House. In order to make sure that he is talented like she said, Sect Master sent me to check him out. Unquestionably, he is indeed as talented as Young Miss Shen said. So, I brought him back.”

Everyone immediately discussed it in a low voice upon hearing this. They didn’t expect it was Shen Yan who recommended Yun Lintian.

Tian Jia said solemnly. “From what I know, Lin Tian’s background is abnormally mysterious. He seems to pop out of nowhere and have the young miss of the Mystic Auction House as his backer. Moreover, I also discovered that he is an honorable elder of the Divine Alchemy Association.”

She bowed deeply toward Tian Yuhan and said further. “Every generation sect master of our Heavenhold Sect always possesses a transparent background and never associated with any faction in the Divine Realm… However, Lin Tian obviously has connections with two top forces. I’m afraid they have an unusual motive for recommending him. I beg Sect Master to reconsider it.”

Woah—

An uproar occurred in the crowd. Yun Lintian’s identity was indeed questionable if you thought about it carefully.

They all knew that Yun Lintian would become the next-generation sect master once he was accepted as Tian Yuhan’s direct disciple. If the Mystic Auction House and the Divine Alchemy Association had an ulterior motive, wouldn’t the entire Heavenhold Realm become theirs by then?

Tian Hualing quickly said. “We all know that those two factions always remain neutral, and even if they truly want to annex our sect, do they really need to do this?”

Many people in the hall nodded their heads in agreement. Whether the Mystic Auction House or Divine Alchemy Association, they all possessed power beyond the Heavenhold Realm. If they truly wanted to do something, they could have just sent a Divine Emperor over.

Tian Jia retorted coldly. “It’s because they are known as neutral forces that they have to do it in secret like this. Otherwise, they will lose their reputation.”

Tian Hualing frowned slightly and turned to look at Tian Yuhan, waiting for her decision. Tian Jia indeed made a point here, and it was so reasonable that Tian Hualing couldn’t refute it.

Everyone also looked at Tian Yuhan silently.

Tian Yuhan glanced at Tian Jia and said. “What you said is indeed reasonable, and the concern you raised is not without a clue.”

A strange light flashed through Tian Jia’s eyes when she heard this. It seemed her plan was working.

“However,” Tian Yuhan paused briefly and said further. “Since I have decided to accept him as my direct disciple, I naturally have investigated his background thoroughly.”

“Whether he could get acquainted with Young Miss Shen or become an honorable elder of the Divine Alchemy Association, everything came from his own effort. I believe you should be aware of this point more than anybody here.”

Everyone in the hall glanced at each other in dismay. Tian Yuhan seemed to give an explanation, but in fact, she simply forced her way through it. She said that she had investigated him, but no evidence being showed. It was difficult to convince the mass.

Tian Jia was even more delighted when she heard this. She took a deep breath and said. “This servant is aware of this, but it still cannot deny that he has deep connections with those two factions… Of course, I won’t object to it if he’s willing to show his innocence.”

“How do you want him to prove it?” Tian Yuhan asked plainly.

Tian Jia said solemnly. “I want him to declare to the world that he will never contact them. He has to give up every position he has in those two factions. Moreover, he should be isolating and observing for a thousand years to ensure that he has nothing to do with them anymore.”

Hiss—

Everyone in the hall sucked in a cold breath. The condition Tian Jia raised was no different from stripping Yun Lintian naked and throwing him into prison. However, it was probably the only way to prove his innocence.

Yun Lintian furrowed his brows upon hearing this. He didn’t expect it to be so difficult just to find a place to practice. If he knew this, he’d rather stay in the Great Zhou Kingdom instead of coming here.

At the same time, he regretted not killing Tian Jia back then. Who would have thought this mad woman to be so determined to bite his flesh off?

Deathly silence blanketed the entire Sacred Hall, and no one uttered a sound. Everyone looked at Tian Yuhan, waiting for her response.

In their opinion, Tian Yuhan had two choices in her hand. The first was to compromise with Tian Jia’s suggestion, and the second was to force her way out. However, the second choice would undoubtedly damage her reputation and raise an unsettling atmosphere for the sect.

Tian Yuhan’s expression was calm, and her eyes showed no slight emotional fluctuation. No one could see what she was thinking at the moment.

A while later, she finally spoke. “Do you know why our Heavenhold Realm cannot become an upper realm?”

Tian Jia and the others were startled. They didn’t understand why Tian Yuhan suddenly asked this…
