Myth Beyond Heaven

Hao Lie came back to his sense and quickly stepped forward to block Yun Lintian. “Who are you?”

Judging from Yun Lintian’s clean appearance and unique temperament, Hao Lie was aware this person wasn’t ordinary. Not to mention he could actually enter the formation without a trace.

Yun Lintian looked at Hao Lie and said with a faint smile. “You’re not bad. Courageous enough.”

While Hao Lie was frowning, Ning Yue walked to Yun Lintian’s side and pointed at a strange black dot on Yun Lintian’s forehead. “W-What?”

Yun Lintian touched his forehead slightly and said. “This? Oh. It was Chen Xue who came to poison me not long ago.”

Ning Yue’s mouth opened, and her eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn’t believe that Chen Xue, who usually treated her well, actually did this.

Yun Lintian looked at her and said gently. “Did you forget what I told you previously? Don’t trust anyone easily just because they are good to you. In Chen Xue’s case, she’s obviously trying to gain your trust in order to manipulate you easier.”

Ning Yue stared blankly at Yun Lintian as she tried to comprehend what he said. The scenes where Chen Xue showed her kindness to her appeared in Ning Yue’s mind like a movie. It turned out all of them were fake…

Yun Lintian turned to look at Hao Lie and said. “My name is Lin Tian. The one that she picked up from the river.”

Hao Lie nodded slowly but didn’t relax his vigilance toward Yun Lintian. For some reason, he felt that Yun Lintian had a motive for Ning Yue.

Yun Lintian glanced around briefly and said. “Do you want to go back or come with me? I am planning to go deeper.”

Hao Lie frowned and asked. “Why do you want to go deeper?”

Yun Lintian smiled and said. “Don’t you find it strange? This forest has existed for a long time, but no one seems to care about it.”

With a glance, Yun Lintian could see that no one had come to this forest for a long time, which was too strange. After all, the Profound Pill Sect was alchemy-related. It should require a lot of rare medicines.

Hao Lie went silent immediately as he seemed to think of something. Indeed, he couldn’t remember anyone who came here. Even a slave like him, whom they should regard as worthless grass, had never received a task to come here.

Huang Yuchun’s order was the first in so many years that Hao Lie had stayed here.

“This could be an opportunity for you. Who knows?” Yun Lintian chuckled.

At this moment, Ning Yue finally calmed down. She tugged Yun Lintian’s sleeve and tried to speak. “I… With… You.”

Yun Lintian looked at her and patted her head gently. “Good job. You learned faster than I thought.”

Ning Yue’s dusty face turned slightly red as she felt Yun Lintian’s warm hand on her head. This was the first time in her life to come into contact with a man intimately.

On the side, Hao Lie looked at this scene uncomfortably. He suddenly felt as though someone had stolen his money.

He took a deep breath and said. “I will go with you two.”

Yun Lintian glanced at him and said with a faint smile. “Trust me. This is going to be the best decision you have made.”

Hao Lie frowned slightly as he couldn’t understand what Yun Lintian was trying to convey.

Yun Lintian naturally didn’t explain anything to Hao Lie. Through his Divine Sense, he already discovered an extraordinary aura at the heart of the forest. If there was no mistake, it should be some inheritance or powerful treasure.

Yun Lintian glanced at the ice wolf and waved his hand, dissecting them into pieces. This scene stunned Hao Lie directly. One had to know that he spent so much effort just to obtain some bones, but Yun Lintian could do it by simply waving his hand.

What kind of strength was this?

“Its meat is passable in terms of taste. I will help both of you digest its power later.” Yun Lintian waved his hand again, putting away all the wolf’s meat.

Hao Lie looked at Yun Lintian and didn’t know what to say at the moment.

Yun Lintian glanced at him and said. “Your talent is actually not bad. It’s just that you lack a good profound art.”

“Let’s go.” Yun Lintian didn’t waste time further and brought the two into the forest.

Inside the Profound Pill Sect, a middle-aged man’s eyes opened, and he looked toward Herb Valley.

This person was the Profound Pill Sect’s Grand Sect Master, Cai Yuan.

“Someone stepped into the formation?” He said with a frown.

Normally, no one dared to go into the forest behind the Herb Valley as it was filled with countless powerful beasts. Even the elders and true disciples of the sect wouldn’t dare to go over.

Cai Yuan looked toward the door and said. “Come in.”

The door was opened, and a tall man walked into the room before kneeling in front of Cai Yuan. “Master.”

“What’s going on over the Herb Valley?” Cai Yuan asked.

“To raise strength for the upcoming assessment, the First Elder has issued an order for those outer disciples and servants to gather medicines.” The tall man replied respectfully.

Cai Yuan nodded slightly and waved his hand. “You can go.”

“Yes, master.” The tall man turned around and left.

Cai Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly as he muttered to himself. “I hope it’s just an accident.”

Puff! 𝚍ｎ𝚘ｖ𝚕．𝚘𝚛𝚐

Yun Lintian waved his hand slightly, and a few profound beasts were directly beheaded.

Hao Lie and Ning Yue were numb by such a scene already, as they had witnessed it many times throughout the journey.

“These profound beasts are clearly protecting something.” Hao Lie said with a frown.

“You’re correct.” Yun Lintian dissected the corpses and stored them away.

He turned to look at Hao Lie and said. “You’re obviously knowledgeable. It seems your background is not ordinary. How did you end up here?”

During this period, Yun Lintian noticed something about Hao Lie. Although this person didn’t know much about alchemy and medicine, he was quite well-informed about profound beasts, contrasting with his young age.

Hao Lie went silent immediately, but a trace of deep hatred could be seen in his eyes. Clearly, he was someone with a story.
