Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Lintian took a deep look at Ximen Wu and asked. “Is Brother Ximen coming from the Great Zhou Capital City’s Ximen Clan?”

His words directly startled Liu Yan and the other two, making them subconsciously look at Ximen Wu. The Ximen Clan was definitely one of the most powerful factions in the Great Zhou Kingdom. Even a wandering practitioner like them had heard about it before.

“Ah? How did you know?” Ximen Wu exclaimed in shock.

The faces of Liu Yan and the others twitched. Wasn’t it so obvious?

Ximen Wu sighed and said admittedly. “Yes. I am a member of the Ximen Clan. However, my status is not that high.”

Yun Lintian curled his lips slightly. If Ximen Wu’s status was not high, how could he have a Divine Tribulation Realm’s guard protect him?

“Why do you ask this?” Ximen Wu asked.

Yun Lintian shook his head slightly. “It’s nothing. I’m just curious. Why would someone like you appear here?”

Ximen Wu drank a mouthful of wine and asked. “You don’t know about the Thunder Ruin?”

“Thunder Ruin?” Yun Lintian repeated curiously.

“The Thunder Ruin is a forbidden area that appeared recently. It said to have an inheritance of the famous White Thunder Divine King.” Liu Yan was the one who spoke.

She looked at Ximen Wu and said in doubt. “However, I heard that it was already closed.”

Ximen Wu snapped his fingers. “This sister is right. I came here to find the Thunder Fruit. Fortunately, I managed to get one.”

“I see.” Yun Lintian nodded slightly.

“By the way, Brother Lin. Do you know how to refine the Rising Thunder Pill?” Ximen Wu asked.

A strange light flashed through Yun Lintian’s eyes as he replied. “I can indeed refine it.”

“Really!? That’s great! I don’t have to beg those oldies anymore.” Ximen Wu said excitedly. “Can you help me, Brother Lin? Don’t worry. I have a lot of money.”

Yun Lintian thought for a moment and said. “Sure. However, I don’t have a good cauldron here. After all, the Rising Thunder Pill is a Divine Tribulation rank one. I can’t do with my cheap copper cauldron. I also need a better environment.”

“No problem! I can find them for you.” Ximen Wu hurriedly said. “We can go to the Chu Country Capital City right away.”

He then turned to look at Liu Yan. “Sister and brothers. Since you are Brother Lin’s friend, do you want to join my Ximen’s martial art hall?”

Liu Yan and the other two were stunned. What was wrong with them today? Why would they be so lucky?

Seeing their expressions, Ximen Wu said further. “Don’t worry. Our Ximen Clan never restricts anyone. You can quit whenever you want if you’re dissatisfied with it. Moreover, there will be a salary and other benefits for you. As long as you train diligently, achieving a divinity is not a problem.”

Liu Yan, Xun Ping, and Gui Yang glanced at each other. As wandering practitioners, they naturally wanted to find a good home to settle in, and the Ximen Clan’s martial art hall was highly famous. It was undoubtedly the best choice for them.

However, they felt it was inappropriate to accept this kindness.

Yun Lintian could see their struggle. He said. “If you’re fine with it, you can join his hall. No need to be polite.”

Liu Yan took a deep breath and said gratefully. “Thank you, Young Master Ximen and Senior Lin. We are willing to join your martial art hall.”

“Hahaha! That’s great! Let’s go!” Ximen Wu was delighted. He felt that this trip was worth it.

“Are you deceiving people again, Ximen Wu?” Suddenly, a cold female voice resounded as a woman in white descended from the sky. Behind her were two young female servants.

The woman’s appearance could be described as heroic beauty. Judging from her look, she should be the same age as Ximen Wu.

Seeing this woman, Ximen Wu’s face darkened as he said annoyingly. “Can you stop meddling in my business for once, Ye Jingran?”

The woman, Ye Jingran, ignored him and turned to look at Yun Lintian. “Please forgive me for my rudeness. I heard that Senior is a talented alchemist. Can I invite you to visit my Ye Clan? I can pay more than him.”

“You!” Ximen Wu gnashed his teeth in anger.

Yun Lintian was slightly surprised. It seemed the status of an alchemist here was higher than he thought. It was no wonder a small sect like the Profound Pill Sect could be regarded as a middle sect and was given so many opportunities.

Yun Lintian smiled and cupped his fists. “Please forgive me, Young Miss Ye. I have already agreed with Brother Ximen’s invitation.”

Ximen Wu’s mood improved instantly upon hearing this. He smirked at Ye Jingran. “Do you hear that?”

Ye Jingran took a deep look at Yun Lintian and threw a silver token at him. “This is my personal token. Please feel free to visit my Ye Clan at any time.”

With that, she flickered her sleeve and flew away, followed by her servants.

“Che! What an annoying woman.” Ximen Wu clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.

He turned to Yun Lintian and said. “You must consider it carefully if you want to visit the Ye Clan, Brother Lin.”

“Oh? Why is that?” Yun Lintian was puzzled.

“That woman is the second young miss of the Ye Clan. Everyone called her a little devil. However, her older sister, Ye Lianyu, is even more scarier. If Ye Jingran is a little devil, Ye Lianyu is definitely a great devil.” Ximen Wu shuddered involuntarily when he spoke this. It seemed he had an unpleasant experience with Ye Lianyu.

“I’m afraid that you will never come out again once you go there.”

Yun Lintian smiled and said. “I’ll think about it carefully.”

“Alright. Let’s go. Shall we?” Ximen Wu nodded and turned toward the sky. “Uncle Hei.”

Roar—

All of a sudden, a lion with a pair of wings emerged from the group of clouds, with a huge carriage behind it.

Seeing this scene, Liu Yan exclaimed in shock. “It’s the Golden Flame Lion!” 𝒃𝒆𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎

The Golden Flame Lion was a Divine Tribulation Realm’s profound beast, but it was actually Ximen Wu’s mount. This clearly explained how powerful the Ximen Clan was.

The Golden Flame Lion landed on the ground with the carriage and glanced at Yun Lintian’s group slightly before turning away, as if Yun Lintian and the others were not worth paying attention to.

“Come.” Ximen Wu said and got into the carriage, followed by Yun Lintian’s group.
