Myth Beyond Heaven

Silence blanketed the dining hall for a long time after Yun Lintian left.

He Weimin wiped the cold sweats off his forehead and said. "Do you think we have a chance?"

Fu Hui forced himself to calm down and said bitterly. "Do you still ask this, Young Master? Once we start, undoubtedly, we will die in an instant. He can see the flaw of our formations at a glance. He must have a way to control it."

"Moreover, I suspect he hides his strength all this time. It should be a high-level concealing technique. I cannot see through it at all."

"Thankfully, I didn't do it right away." The fear still lingered in He Weimin's heart as he spoke this. Suddenly, he thought of something, and his face turned pale. "Do…do you think he will kill me later? After all, I am lusting after his women."

He Weimin felt uneasy when he thought of this. As a man himself, he naturally knew how angry a man could be when someone coveted his wife.

Fu Hui said uncertainly. "Probably not."

He Weimin swallowed hard and said. "No. I have to do something…. Let's take those treasures out."

***

After leaving the village head office, Yun Lintian didn't return to the tavern right away but chose to stroll around the village.

"Do we really need to participate in it, Master?" Yun Chenyu asked curiously. She knew that her master didn't want to waste time, and participating in such a time-wasting competition wasn't a good idea.

Yun Lintian smiled and said. "We have to see the situation of the Central Ruins first. Unless we have no other choices, we can consider it."

"What about that He Weimin, Master? Are you going to let him live?" Yun Chenyu asked further. She felt that her master had a superb tolerance by letting He Weimin covet his women for a long time without doing anything.

"Him? How could your master let him go?" Han Bingling smiled faintly. "Your master is waiting for him to call someone over."

Yun Chenyu's eyes brightened up. "I see."

"Even though he's the village head, he's clearly the smallest pawn. There's nothing much for us to get from him. It's better to let him call the people behind him over." Han Bingling touched Yun Chenyu's head lovingly and explained. "Remember, do not let a temporary anger affect a chance to catch a bigger fish."

A strange light flashed through Yun Chenyu's eyes as she nodded her head heavily.

"There are so many high-rank treasures here. No wonder many want to come here." Mu Qiuxue said in surprise as she looked at various high-rank magical plants and materials on the street stalls.

"Hmm?" Yun Chenyu looked around and suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar item.

Immediately, she rushed to the stall and grabbed a slightly rusted dagger with trembling hands.

An uncle stall owner saw this and quickly scolded. "Hey, don't touch it."

Yun Lintian and the others exchanged glances in confusion and quickly caught up with Yun Chenyu.

"Relax, uncle. I will pay for it." Yun Lintian said with a smile.

"Alright." Seeing that someone was with her, the uncle was relieved and introduced the knife. "Someone found this knife in the Central Ruins. Because its level is relatively low, it cannot be sold in the city… Although its value isn't high, it's, after all, something from the Central Ruins…."

Before the uncle could finish his sentence, Yun Lintian interrupted him. "I'll give you one thousand high-grade Profound Stones."

The uncle smiled brightly and said. "Deal!"

Yun Lintian paid the money and looked at Yun Chenyu, who was standing still like a wooden statue, before asking. "You have seen it before?"

Yun Chenyu took a deep breath and said. "It's my father's knife."

Yun Lintian's brows raised slightly. He had never asked about Yun Chenyu's past experience as it wasn't important to him, but it seemed he couldn't ignore it further. The fact that her father could enter the Central Ruins indicated he must be at least the Monarch Profound Realm's level.

It was as he had speculated before. Yun Chenyu's background wasn't simple.

However, Yun Lintian didn't ask anything further and waited for her to speak out by herself.

Yun Chenyu raised her head and asked the uncle stall owner. "Uncle, who found it?"

The uncle smiled wryly. "How could I know? I bought it from another merchant… I don't know what happened to you, kid, but if you want to find the person, you can go to the Boundless City."

"Thank you, uncle." Yun Chenyu said in a deep voice and turned to Yun Lintian.

Without waiting for her to say anything, Yun Lintian spoke first. "We will go there tomorrow."

"Thank you, Master. And please forgive me. I cannot tell you about it right now." Yun Chenyu bowed deeply.

Yun Lintian helped her up and said. "What are you talking about? Even though you are my disciple, I won't force you to do or say what you don't want to. You just remember that I will stand by your side no matter what."

Yun Chenyu's eyes reddened when she heard this. Although something terrible happened to her in the past, she was fortunate enough to meet her master. Without him, she would have died in that alley long ago.

"Let's go back first." Yun Lintian said and prepared to go back to the tavern.

"Bingling?" Suddenly, a male voice resounded behind, causing Yun Lintian and the others to turn around.

A trace of surprise appeared on Han Bingling's face as she said. "Lei Zhenxiang? Why are you here?"

The person who called her was no other than Lei Zhenxiang, who had just arrived in the village.

Yun Lintian was surprised as well to see Lei Zhenxiang here. As far as he knew, something had happened to him, and he had gone missing since then. Moreover, Lei Feifei and the Black Wing group's elders were also here.

"It really is you!" Lei Zhenxiang was delighted to see Han Bingling here. He then turned to look at Yun Lintian and said in surprise. "Little Brother Mu?"

Lei Feifei and the others were staring at Yun Lintian in surprise. They didn't expect to see him here. Furthermore, he was clearly in the same group as Han Bingling… What was going on here?

"It's been a while, Big Brother Lei." Yun Lintian greeted him with a smile.
