Myth Beyond Heaven

It was as Yun Lintian had expected. Du Huanfeng was currently thinking of how to deal with Yun Lintian.

It was true that what Yun Lintian displayed earlier was aligned with his first level of the Saint Profound Realm power, but his intuition told him there was something more than that. Not to mention he could actually subdue the sword that even Jian Feng and Weilan Tian failed to do it.

No matter how he thought about it, Du Huanfeng believed this Lin Yun was likely to be Yun Lintian.

“How is it?” Du Huanfeng asked the old man who had just walked into the room.

The old man said calmly. “It’s like you said, Young Master. They arrived at the Central Continent a few days ago, and their transporting method is unknown. It’s like they pop up out of thin air.”

“It’s the same as before.” Du Huanfeng said coldly.

He recalled what happened on the Western Continent back then. Yun Lintian’s group had magically disappeared and reappeared on the Southern Continent. They must have transported means that he was unaware of.

“This is difficult.” Du Huanfeng tapped his finger on the table. If this Lin Yun was really Yun Lintian, capturing him would be very difficult. Not to mention there was Mu Qiuxue and that mysterious woman who made a move in the auction house earlier beside him.

“His goal is the Heavenly Sword Summit… He must have a way to take the Heavenly Sword away.” Du Huanfeng suddenly remembered Yun Lintian could take the Tree of Life away. Perhaps he truly knew how to deal with the Heavenly Sword.

His eyes gleamed with a cold glint as he made a decision in his mind. He turned to the old man and said. “Go invite Xing Renshu for a meal. Tell him I have something he might be interested in.”

The old man hesitated slightly and said. “Are you sure, Young Master? Once the Star Gazing Palace involves in this, it will be difficult for us to take the Tree of Life from him.”

Du Huanfeng waved his hand. “Don’t worry. I have my way.”

The old man went silent for a moment and left the room.

Du Huanfeng looked at the scenery outside and muttered to himself. “You can’t get away this time.”

,m After a few rounds of drinking, Jian Feng returned to his residence, which was located on a tall peak called Heaven Piercing Peak. He gradually climbed the mountain without using any profound energy. This was a habit he developed since he could remember things.

An hour later, he arrived at the top of the peak and walked toward a simple cottage made of woods and grasses. If anyone saw this scene, their eyes would probably pop out of their sockets. Who would believe that the true successor of the Heavenly Sword Palace actually lives in such a shabby residence?

“You’re back.” A pleasant female voice resounded from within the cottage, startling Jian Feng for a moment.

“Master.” Jian Feng hurriedly bowed his head and said respectfully.

The door slowly opened, revealing a mesmerizing woman who seemed to walk out of a fairy portrait. She stood approximately 1.75 meters, and her figure could be considered top-notch, easily rivaled Han Bingling’s.

She wore a pristine white robe that looked plain but gave off an unmatched aura as if she didn’t belong to this world. Her hair reached her waist, freely swaying along a gentle breeze. Her name was Qing Xiaoting, Jian Feng’s master and an honorable elder of the Heavenly Sword Palace.

Qing Xiaoting glanced at Jian Feng briefly and asked. “Have you fought someone?”

Jian Feng shook his head and said. “No, Master. I have met a powerful person.”

There was no change in Qing Xiaoting’s expression. She asked softly. “A powerful person?”

Jian Feng nodded and began to tell her everything.

A while later, Qing Xiaoting’s expression turned strange as she asked. “Are you sure his name is Lin Yun?”

Jian Feng was startled for a moment and replied. “Yes, Master… Could it be a fake name?”

Qing Xiaoting seemed to ponder over something briefly and said. “I entrusted those artifacts to the Mystic Pavilion.”

Jian Feng’s eyes widened open in shock.

Qing Xiaoting raised her head to look at the night sky and said softly. “Take a good rest.”

Seeing that his master had no intention of explaining anything. Jian Feng bowed and entered the cottage with his heart clouded with doubt.

Qing Xiaoting stood there for a long time before turning toward the city’s direction and disappearing from the spot.

Tonight, Yun Lintian didn’t plan to enter the Land of Beyond Heaven and chose to practice in the bedroom. After all, he reckoned Du Huanfeng, and perhaps Xing Renshu would send people over to watch him.

“You can take a rest first. They won’t dare to do anything tonight.” He looked at Yun Qianxue and said softly.

“Alright.” Yun Qianxue smiled and went to a nearby bedroom.

“I’m sleepy, Big Brother Yun.” Qingqing rubbed her eyes while yawning.

Yun Lintian chuckled and carried Qingqing to the bed, covering her with a quilt. “Sleep well. There’s no need to do anything tonight.”

“Mhm!” Qingqing responded and fell asleep in the next second.

Meanwhile, Linlin got up onto Yun Lintian’s lap and said. “Big Brother Yun, why don’t we take the initiative instead?”

In the past, both of them were too weak and always been passive whenever they met an enemy. Now, they had enough strength to face anyone. She didn’t understand why Yun Lintian chose to be passive again.

Yun Lintian stroked Linlin’s head dotingly and said. “Since the Heavenly Sword Palace invited so many powerhouses here, it’s not a good idea for us to make a move. There are too many eyes and ears. Once we expose ourselves, they will certainly unite together to deal with us.”

He glanced at the balcony with a smile and continued. “Don’t forget that Du Huanfeng could use the Tree of Life to lure people in.”

At this moment, a black figure appeared on the balcony. This person’s movements were extremely neat and silent. If it wasn’t for Yun Lintian arranging an alarming formation beforehand, he wouldn’t notice him at all.

The black figure glanced around briefly and slowly pried into the window.

All of a sudden, a sense of danger emerged in his heart. He quickly shot into the air, attempting to flee without hesitation.

“Where to go?” A female voice suddenly resounded from behind.
