Myth Beyond Heaven

1868 Sudden Attack

Yun Lintian spent a day of leisure inside the Land of Beyond Heaven before returning to the Netherworld with Gui Xuan.

The first thing he did was check the isolation formation. Upon realizing that no one had visited during his absence, Yun Lintian simply deactivated the formation and left.

When Yun Lintian emerged from the cottage, he immediately noticed the shift in the atmosphere.

Previously, the village was rather dull despite its large population. Now, it was bustling, and discussions could be heard everywhere.

Yun Lintian found a group of ghosts nearby and asked. "What happened, brothers?"

The ghosts looked at Yun Lintian with a strange expression. One of them answered. "The ghost kings are recruiting soldiers again. We are planning to run."

"I see. Many thanks." Yun Lintian was slightly surprised.

Yun Lintian walked around the village and learned that the situation at the battlefront was dire. It turned out that both the Western and Eastern armies had recently attacked the Southern troops at the same time.

Perhaps this was the reason the Flower Ghost Queen was injured.

At this moment, many people began to leave the village. Yun Lintian noticed that most of them were heading south. It was probably the best direction they could have taken.

However, he also noticed some people heading towards the capital city, which should be riskier.

"Young man, you should leave as soon as possible." A kind-

looking uncle approached Yun Lintian. This person was the one who rented the cottage to Yun Lintian.

"What about you, Uncle?" Yun Lintian asked.

"I have lived long enough. It's time for me to go." The uncle sighed with resignation.

He waved his hand and said. "Go. Leave now."

Yun Lintian cupped his fists. "Good luck, Uncle."

He immediately left the village and headed towards the capital city.

As soon as Yun Lintian left, a group of ghosts approached the uncle and asked. "Are you sure he is rich?"

The warm smile on the uncle's face immediately vanished, replaced by a cold grin. "Are there any ghosts willing to pay twenty coins just to rent a place to stay? Furthermore, I found out that he had set up an isolation formation."

The ghosts' eyes lit up when they heard this. Setting up a formation required a spiritual stone. In this poor land, no ordinary ghost could afford to use a spiritual stone so extravagantly.

"Look. He is heading toward the capital city. Hehe. We have met a fat sheep." One of the ghosts spoke.

"Let's go." The uncle spoke and quickly chased after Yun Lintian.

After leaving the village, Yun Lintian didn't increase his speed much because he wanted to study the environment thoroughly.

A few minutes later, he stopped in his tracks and turned around. "Why are you here, Uncle?"

The uncle took out a shabby long sword and said with a smile. "You took something from my house. I came here to take it back."

"Oh?" Yun Lintian smiled faintly. "What is it?"

"Hehe. A lot of ghost coins and spiritual stones." The uncle chuckled. He waved his hand, and the other ghosts immediately rushed toward Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian disguised himself as a Spirit Profound Realm's ghost, making these people attack him without hesitation.

Yun Lintian sighed inwardly. He didn't expect to encounter this cliché situation again.

Just as he was about to launch a counterattack, he suddenly noticed a large group of ghost soldiers in the far distance.

The bandits abruptly stopped their movement and looked at the ghost soldiers in horror.

"Shit! Run!" The ghost uncle turned around and fled, followed by the others.

The ghost soldiers had, of course, long noticed them. The captain of the group waved his hand and said. "Capture them."

The ghost soldiers behind him swiftly surged forward, pursuing the ghostly bandits.

The ghost captain glanced at Yun Lintian with surprise and asked. "Why don't you run?"

Normally, ordinary ghosts would flee without hesitation as soon as they encountered them. The ghost captain couldn't understand why Yun Lintian didn't even move an inch.

Yun Lintian shrugged. "I don't want to waste my energy."

"Oh?" The ghost captain revealed a chilling smile. He waved his hand, and the other ghost soldiers quickly charged at Yun Lintian.

"Hey. Relax. I just want to ask something." Yun Lintian sighed and waved his hand.

The ghost soldiers, who were charging, suddenly felt a powerful force sweeping over them, sending them flying.

The ghost captain was startled. He instantly realized that Yun Lintian had hidden his true strength.

As Yun Lintian was about to make another move, a familiar eerie voice suddenly echoed from above.

"Found you."

Yun Lintian's hair stood up immediately. How could he forget that voice? It was none other than the scary-faced ghost!

At the same time, Yun Lintian felt immense pressure closing in on him. His expression changed drastically because it was evident that he was facing someone stronger than him.

A middle god! The words popped into Yun Lintian's mind.

Yun Lintian's instinct kicked in as he activated the Shadow Step and disappeared from the place.

BOOM!

The spot where Yun Lintian had been standing suddenly exploded, leaving a massive crater in the ground.

Yun Lintian reappeared several kilometers away, raising his head to look at the sky.

Aside from the scary-faced ghost, there was a woman dressed in red floating in the sky. Her face was as pale as a sheet of white paper, and her eyes were blood-red.

Yun Lintian noticed that the clothes she was wearing were clearly a wedding dress. This ghost probably died on the night of the wedding.

"Hmm?" The scary-faced ghost was surprised that Yun Lintian was able to escape the woman's attack.

The woman in red said nothing. She pointed her blood-covered finger at Yun Lintian.

Immediately, several red strings shot out of her finger and swarmed toward Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian's face sank. The woman's power was exceptionally strong. It wasn't something he could confront directly without paying some prices.

Without hesitation, Yun Lintian summoned the red sword and swung it at the approaching red strings, unleashing terrifying flames.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Yun Lintian continued to blast the red strings away, but they seemed endless. Unknowingly, the entire space was already filled with red strings, forming a massive domain to trap Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian knew that he couldn't continue in this manner. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to escape.
