Myth Beyond Heaven

Lin Taixu's heart skipped a beat. If he insisted on his principle further, undoubtedly, it would implicate his clan. Judging from Nantian Fengyu's strength, there was no way the Lin clan could resist her… Was it worth it?

Lin Zixuan didn't say anything further. To her, coming here to say this was already giving enough kindness to the Lin clan. It was up to Lin Taixu to decide.

Seeing Lin Taixu's tangled expression, Nangong Xi tried to persuade. "Vice-Principal Lin. Since Hall Master Xie had already gone, I don't see any benefit in insisting further. I believe Principal Tian would definitely understand it."

Lin Taixu looked at Nantian Fengyu with an unsightly expression. He lowered his head slightly and said. "Please raise your hand. I won't pursue this matter further."

"Heh. I thought you have some guts." Nantian Fengyu laughed disdainfully and retracted her power.

Lin Taixu's face flushed red in embarrassment. He had lost his face today. From now on, these Hall Masters probably won't give him as much respect as before.

Nangong Xi shook her head and sighed softly. She felt nothing wrong about why Lin Taixu was completely lost to Peng Haoye. Lin Taixu might be a good person, but he was too careless about many things. He could at best serve as a good soldier, totally unsuitable for a leadership position.

She turned her head to look at Lin Zixuan and felt regret in her heart. If Lin Zixuan still had her former strength, she would be the best candidate for the next principal position.

Nantian Fengyu didn't care about Lin Taixu further. She looked in the direction Wang Jun had escaped to and smiled faintly.

At this moment, Wang Jun appeared thousands of kilometers away from the divine city. His head grew heavy, unable to comprehend the situation. How could Nantian Fengyu possess such a high strength? What the hell was going on here?

"I have to go now." Wang Jun knew this was not the time to think about this matter. He had to escape from the Northern Continent as fast as he could. 

Scree—

Just as Wang Jun was about to contact his family, an ear-piercing cry suddenly rang out from a distance, causing him to involuntarily turn around.

What he saw was a huge phoenix flapping its wings toward him, accompanied by a scorching heat that he had never experienced before. Its terrifying eyes stared at him, making him petrified on the spot. 

"Phoenix…" Wang Jun suddenly recalled the piece of information about the Divine Phoenix Palace and understood everything at this moment. 

Unfortunately, he couldn't even have a chance to utter a word, and his body was entirely burned into ashes in almost an instant. The proud second young master of the Wang clan died just like that.

Upon seeing this, Nantian Fengyu turned to Lin Zixuan and said. "It's done. I'll go back now." Following that, her figure vanished into thin air.

Lin Taixu looked at the position that Xie Yuan and Wang Xiangchu disappeared for a moment and turned toward Lin Zixuan. "Shouldn't you give me an explanation about this?"

"There's nothing to talk about. Let's go, Yingyue." Lin Zixuan didn't bother to explain anything and turned around, preparing to leave.

"You…" Lin Taixu was angry, but he didn't dare to do anything to her. First, she was, after all, his niece. Secondly, he feared that Nantian Fengyu would return and give him a beating for harming her master. His eyes grew dark, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

On the side, Nangong Xi and Gu Yi glanced at each other with a trace of worry on their faces. They could feel something big was going to happen soon.

"I-Impossible! I don't believe it! How could Brother Yun die!?" In Hong Wuya's residence, Yang Chen yelled aloud. He refused to believe Yun Lintian had fallen.

Bai Qingyi, Qin Yiran, Qin Yuyan, Lan Shuiying, Tian Jiuyi, Chu Heng, Chu Mi, Cai Xuwen, and Ye Xiaolong were all gathering together after receiving the news of Yun Lintian's death. All of them had heavy expressions on their faces and did not know what to say at this moment. This news was too heavy for them.

"Maybe he has escaped in time and was sent to somewhere?" Ye Xiaolong expressed his thought. However, he was aware in his heart that the chance of this happening was close to zero.

Tian Jiuyi shook his head and said. "I hate to say this, but I've tried to contact him before, and it couldn't connect to his transmission jade. There's only one possibility… I believe everyone should understand it."

Everyone in this room was not a fool. They, of course, knew what this meant. Yun Lintian's transmission jade was definitely broken, making Tian Jiuyi unable to contact him, which could also mean he had already gone.

The present scene had become blanketed in dead silence, and everyone lowered their heads. As much as they were unwilling to believe this, the fact that he did not make it out of the mythical realm was still there. They couldn't deny it.

Cai Xuwen closed her eyes for a moment and opened them again before saying with a soft sigh. "I know it's hard to believe this. Since it has already happened, we can only try our best to move on. I believe Junior Brother Yun doesn't want to see all of you become like this."

"No! I refuse to believe it!" Yang Chen stood up and stormed out of the room.

Everyone looked at him, and no one tried to stop him. Among them, Yang Chen had the closest relationship with Yun Lintian. It was normal for him to be this emotional.

Bai Qingyi raised his head to look at everyone. He took a deep breath and said solemnly. "I'll go find that bitch Li Na. It is impossible for her to survive while Brother Yun couldn't make it. I think there might be something tricky here."

Hearing this, Tian Jiuyi hurriedly said. "Her background is not ordinary. I don't think it's a good idea to find her."

"So what? Are we going to do nothing and let this matter pass? Don't forget that he saved all of you many times back then... We naturally can't bring him to life, but at least, we can try to do something, for example, avenge him." Lan Shuiying retorted. Although she had some grudges against Yun Lintian for deceiving her back then, all of them had vanished entirely now. At this moment, she wanted to know how did he die.

Tian Jiuyi immediately went silent, did not know what to say further.
