Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Lintian went silent after hearing this. He suspected the Qi royal clan of having a strong aide outside the Heavenly Fortune Nation, but he didn't expect it was actually the Ming clan of Thunder City. It seemed he couldn't simply take revenge when he reaches the Ruler Profound Realm. After all, there were several Saints within the Ming clan. Just one of them could easily deal with him and his sect.

Lan Ning didn't speak further, letting Yun Lintian calm down by himself. Meanwhile, Lan Shuiying lowered her head, did not know how to say for a while. Since this matter involved the Ming clan, her strength was not enough to help Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian took a deep breath and said. "Thank you, Senior Lan, for reminding me. I know what to do."

Lan Ning looked at Yun Lintian for a moment and said with a smile. "It's good that you know. It's not too late to take revenge when you are powerful enough."

She then waved her hand and said. "Let's eat first. The food will turn cold soon."

Yun Lintian and Lan Shuiying immediately picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

"I have to thank Brother Ming for helping me get the quota this time. I'll pay my respect to you with this cup." In the private room close to Yun Lintian's room, Qi Yuanfeng held a cup of wine and downed it in one go.

Opposite Qi Yuanfeng was a handsome man with an extraordinary temperament. He dressed in a premium purple robe with the word 'Ming' on his chest. His name was Ming Wu, the Eldest Young Master of the Ming clan.

Ming Wu waved his hand dismissively. "Why are you so polite? You are my grandfather's disciple, after all. The Thunder Valley's quota belongs to you in the first place." He then drank a mouthful of wine and changed the topic. "By the way, have you found the trace of the Misty Cloud Sect?"

Qi Yuanfeng put the cup down and shook his head. "No. They disappeared like a ghost. I still couldn't figure out how did they do that."

Ming Wu stuffed a braised Fire Boar's meat in his mouth and said. "Since they used the Transmission Formation to escape, I guess they should have another one prepared beforehand. It's normal you couldn't trace them."

Qi Yuanfeng nodded in agreement. He also had this speculation before and sent his men to find them. Unfortunately, he couldn't find their trace no matter how he tries.

Ming Wu laughed slightly. "Don't worry. I'll help you find them." He put down the chopsticks and changed his tone. "However, you have to share the Ancient Relic with me."

Ming Wu spent his effort to help Qi Yuanfeng because he was attracted by the Ancient Relic within the Misty Cloud Sect. When Huo Yan had fallen, Qi Qianxing gradually learned everything from the ancient record Huo Yan left behind and found the existence of the Crown.

Instead of keeping this information to himself, Qi Qianxing chose to share it with the Ming clan in order to deepen their relationship, and this matter was later heard by Ming Wu.

Qi Yuanfeng had long known Ming Wu's intention to help him, but he felt it was a win-win situation. He drowned another cup and said. "Naturally, Brother Ming."

Seeing his goal was achieved, Ming Wu laughed heartily and urged Qi Yuanfeng to eat more.

"Brother Ming, I heard that there will be a revered figure coming this time. Do you know who it is?" Qi Yuanfeng suddenly asked. He heard his subordinates talking about this before, but that time he didn't take it to heart.

Ming Wu was surprised. "You heard about it too?… Well, this time, the Young Master of Divine Thunder Palace has come. When you encounter him, don't anger him, understand? Just let him do what he wants."

"Young Master of Divine Thunder Palace?" Qi Yuanfeng was amazed. Although he was the Crown Prince of his nation, his status was like a speck of dust, not worth mention in front of the nine palaces. He then nodded his head. "Don't worry, Brother Ming. I'm not stupid enough to provoke such an existence."

"With him coming, I don't think you will get anything much from the Thunder Valley. So put your hope high." Ming Wu advised.

Qi Yuanfeng smiled. "What are you talking about, Brother Ming? I'm just curious about this wonderful place, that's all."

Ming Wu looked at Qi Yuanfeng and laughed slightly without saying anything further. He naturally didn't believe Qi Yuanfeng simply wanted to gain experience, but he didn't expose it.

"Thank you for the meal, Sister Lan, Senior Lan." After the meal, Yun Lintian said politely.

Lan Shuiying responded. "This is what we should do. You don't have to be polite." She then changed the topic. "Anyway, I don't know how long is Brother Ye going to stay here?"

Yun Lintian pondered briefly before replying. "Before this, my master and I planned to visit the Thunder Valley, but now, I don't know whether I should go. So, I'll stay here for a period."

"Thunder Valley?" Lan Ning frowned. "It's not that I'm looking down on you, but with your current strength, going there is no different from throwing your life away. I advise you to forget about it."

Yun Lintian accepted Lan Ning's advice with a smile. "I know, Senior Lan."

"Talking about this, I heard there is a lofty figure from the Divine Thunder Palace arriving here yesterday. I think this person's goal is the Thunder Valley." Lan Ning suddenly recalled the news she heard recently.

"Divine Thunder Palace?" Yun Lintian repeated with a surprise… Did Han Bingling already call for help?

Seeing Yun Lintian was thinking of something, Lan Ning thought he never heard of the Divine Thunder Palace. She explained. "Divine Thunder Palace is the existence stands on equal footing with Frozen Moon Palace of our Northern Continent. Everyone knows that the relationship between them is good, so they coming here is nothing to be surprised."
