Myth Beyond Heaven

Lei Jin nodded his head slowly. He let out a sigh and said. "If I'm not mistaken, she was fancied by the Myriad Pill Palace's brat. And because of this, she had to escape. The rumor said she fled to the Western Continent, but it seems false now."

"Speaking of this, aren't we have guests from the Myriad Pill Palace on board? Be careful, Elder Mu. Do not let them know your identity." Qin Wuji looked at Yun Lintian with a smile.

Yun Lintian secretly cursed in his heart. He had never thought his casual lie would bring him a potential disaster. If people from the Myriad Pill Palace knew about his "master" they would definitely come to him.

Yun Lintian glanced at everyone in the room and paused on Gong Yanhong before saying. "Thank you for your concern, Elder Qin... However, I trust Leader Lei's vision. I believe that everyone here is upright enough and would never reveal my identity to them."

Hearing this, everyone in the room took a deep look at Yun Lintian. This eighteen years old boy wasn't simple at all. Not only did he possess a monstrous talent, but his mind was also sharp. His words were served as a warning, preventing everyone here from leaking his identity.

However, except for Gong Yanhong, who had a conflict with Yun Lintian, other elders didn't care much about it. Between the Myriad Pill Palace and the Black Wing group, they would naturally choose the latter. Yun Lintian's existence clearly benefited the group. Why would they harm themselves by getting rid of him?

Gong Yanhong's eyes flickered a few times, and she calmed down in the next moment. At this moment, she had totally given up the idea on Yun Lintian. After all, the grudge between them wasn't deep in the first place.

However, no one noticed that the eyes of Ji Zhiyin were strange when she looked at Yun Lintian. It was as though she had something in her mind…

Yun Lintian changed the topic. "Elder Qin, can you tell me about the Myriad Pill Palace? I have long heard their name before, but I don't know anything about them."

Qin Wuji glanced at Lei Jin briefly and saw the latter nod his head gently, indicating that he could freely tell Yun Lintian.

Qin Wuji turned to Yun Lintian and explained. "As one of the nine palaces, the strength of Myriad Pill Palace itself is naturally high. What makes their status special among the nine palaces is their ability to make pills. Most of the pill recipes in this world come from them, so you can imagine how powerful they are in terms of connections. There's saying people would rather fight Azure Palace than become an enemy of Myriad Pill Palace."

Yun Lintian nodded his head thoughtfully. Myriad Pill Palace was like a giant pharmaceutical company that occupied more than eighty percent of the market. No one would be stupid enough to offend them. 

Qin Wuji said further. "Whenever they asked for cooperation, everyone would agree without hesitation. Our Black Wing group is no different. Although Leader Lei's background is there, it isn't enough to go against them."

"So they are basically a tyrant?" Yun Lintian said with a half-smile. Before this, he heard about how magnanimous and benevolent Du Xiaotian, the Myriad Pill Palace Master, is, but it seemed he didn't manage his palace well. 

"You can say that." Qin Wuji laughed slightly. "Later, when you met them, don't be fooled by their humble appearance. In fact, they are more arrogant than anybody in this world. Especially their young master, Du Huanfeng. This guy is the most arrogant person I have ever seen. Back then, he declared to the world that your master belongs to him. Whoever dared to help her would become his enemy… Heh. Although everyone was dissatisfied with him, no one said anything in the end. After all, your master doesn't have any backer."

"Your master didn't tell you about this?" Bailu Jing asked curiously.

Yun Lintian shook his head. "As I said before, Master rarely speaks about her past. In fact, this is the first time I have heard about her title. I have no idea Master is that famous."

Yun Lintian's clueless expression made everyone, including Qin Wuji, believe him. What they didn't know was that Yun Lintian was clueless for real. He wasn't acting at all.

"What about this Du Huanfeng's talent, Elder Qin?" Yun Lintian asked.

Qin Wuji replied with a disdainful grin. "His talent? It's good, but it's not to the point of being claimed as a heavenly genius. Most of his potential came from countless treasures piling up for him since birth."

"Hehe. His talent is in the wrong place." Song Cang added with an ambiguous smile that only men could understand.

Bang!

All of a sudden, the ship was hit by something, causing it to shake violently. The expression of everyone in the room changed slightly, and Lei Jin was the one who spoke first. "This presence… Monarch Profound Beast?"

"It's indeed the case… Let's go out." Qin Wuji said and stood up, walking out of the room, followed by the rest.

Yun Lintian was confused slightly. The ship had sailed for forty minutes at most. How come there was a Monarch Profound Beast that appeared here?

When Yun Lintian's group arrived at the deck, they immediately saw several colossus blue serpents surrounding the ship. These serpents were at least at the peak of the Ruler Profound Realm. Every move they made created huge tidal waves to fiercely crash with the ship.

Floating above them was a seductive woman wearing blue scaled armor. A pair of eyes that resembled serpent's eyes were staring at the ship with a contemptuous smile.

"Long time no see, Lei Feifei." The seductive woman looked at Lei Feifei, who had just arrived at the scene, and said. 

"Yin Shang." Lei Feifei's expression turned icy as she saw this woman.. "You sure have the gut to appear before me."
