Myth Beyond Heaven

"Is that so?…" Yao Yaoting frowned slightly upon hearing that Yun Lintian had already left.

"It's true." Jian Wuming said calmly. "You can go to the Azure Ancient City to find him."

Yao Yaoting gave a meaningful gaze to Jian Wuming and said. "I understand. Thank you for informing me."

Jian Wuming didn't say anything and disappeared from the place.

"Let's go." Yan Yaoting flicked his sleeve and brought Yang Chen away.

"What is your plan, Master?" As soon as they returned to their room, Yang Chen asked.

Yan Yaoting poured himself a cup of tea and chuckled. "Since they want to drag me into the muddy water, why should I stay out of it? We will go there later."

Yang Chen didn't say anything further, but there was an undetected light in the depth of his eyes. He seemed to have an idea of his own on this matter.

"Master." Suddenly, a thin man wrapped in black from head to toe appeared in the room and bowed respectfully to Yan Yaoting.

"Go on." Yan Yaoting beckoned with his chin while sipping tea.

"All the spies from the Star Pavilion and the other forces have been wiped out by a terrifying sword intent. Not a single one has been spared." The man said.

Yan Yaoting didn't seem to be surprised about it. He laughed slightly. "You are lucky."

The man in black lowered his head slightly. Underneath his clothes, his body was still drenched in a cold sweat. He was aware that the attacker had spared his life. Otherwise, his fate would be the same as those spies.

Yan Yaoting tapped his finger on the table for a while and said. "We will leave for the Azure Ancient City in a week. I will give you the task. Go gathering information about Yun Lintian's relationships as much as possible."

"Understood, Master." The man replied readily and went away.

Yan Yaoting looked at Yang Chen and asked. "Since you came from the Northern Continent like him, do you really know nothing?"

Yang Chen shook his head. "I can't remember anything in the past."

Yan Yaoting stared straight into Yang Chen's eyes for a long while and said. "Well, you should tell me right away if you remember something. To deal with an abnormality like this Yun Lintian, you will need everything."

"I understand." Yang Chen replied plainly.

"Do you?" Yan Yaoting chuckled. He waved his hand and said. "Go. Take a rest."

Yang Chen stood up and walked into his room under Yan Yaoting's doubting gaze.

Before this, he prevented Yang Chen from participating in the Heavenly Sword Summit in order to save his life. According to his understanding of him, Yang Chen was likely to confront Yun Lintian directly, and he would undoubtedly die under the latter's hand.

Now, seeing Yun Lintian manage to pull the Heavenly Sword out, his decision was correct.

Don't let me know that you are hiding something from me… Thought Yao Yaoting.

"Why do you want to go there?" In the Sun Clan manor, Sun Ling looked at Lin Xinyao with a frown. She didn't understand why Lin Xinyao chose to go to the Azure Ancient City instead of returning to the Northern Continent.

"I have been informed by my master that my aunt should be there." Lin Xinyao explained vaguely.

Sun Ling frowned deeply. The situation in the Heavenly Sword Palace was unstable right now since Jian Xu was killed. As a high-ranking elder, she had so many things to take care of.

However, she didn't forget about Lin Xinyao. After all, she was her friend's niece. It would be bad if something happened to her here.

"I'll let someone go with you." Sun Ling said.

Lin Xinyao shook her head. "Thank you, Aunty, but there's no need. I prefer to travel alone."

"How could it be? Although Du Huanfeng and Lei Jun have already left, it doesn't mean they will give up on you. What would happen if you met them on the way?" Sun Ling said with a serious expression.

Lin Xinyao didn't speak. Her aura suddenly surged, and the entire room instantly transformed into an ice field.

"You…" This scene shocked Sun Ling greatly. With her strength and rich experience, she could see at a glance how powerful Lin Xinyao's move was.

What surprised her the most was the aura Lin Xinyao released earlier was no inferior to the peak of the Monarch Profound Realm practitioner. One had to know that she was only at the early level of the Saint Profound Realm. This meant she could actually compete with the peak Monarch while she was a Saint.

Sun Ling took a deep breath and said. "Your talent is greater than I thought. No wonder you are not afraid of traveling alone."

She paused for a moment and continued. "Since that's the case, let me arrange a carriage for you. You can reach there in a week at most."

Lin Xinyao retracted her power and said gratefully. "Thank you, Aunty."

Sun Ling smiled. "What are you being polite about?"

"Master, there's an urgent situation." Suddenly, a female voice resounded in Sun Ling's mind. "All the spies of the Star Pavilion and other forces have been killed by Elder Qing. Palace Master Jian is presiding over the situation currently. He also told Master to go back immediately."

"What!? Has she gone insane? Is she trying to make an enemy out of everyone?" Sun Ling's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. She wasn't there in the scene previously. Hence, she didn't know about Qing Xiaoting's true identity. In her mind, Qing Xiaoting was an honorable elder. That was why she was angry with her action.

She looked at Lin Xinyao and said. "I have already told my people. You go to the front yard directly. Good luck on the way. You can contact me if you encounter a problem."

"Understood, Aunty." Lin Xinyao replied politely.

Sun Ling nodded and vanished from the place.

"Hurry up! I want to eat Yun Lintian's food." Mumu, who was sitting on Lin Xinyao's head, urged.

Lin Xinyao smiled faintly and headed to the front yard before leaving the city with the carriage.
