Myth Beyond Heaven

1870 Flower Ghost Queen (2)

Yun Lintian looked at the sea of colorful flowers on the mountain with surprise. These flowers could somehow grow very well in this harsh environment.

Hun Yin pulled Yun Lintian towards a courtyard on the mountain while Lai He turned around and left. His duty ended here.

Hun Yin stopped in front of the courtyard and retrieved the red strings, restoring freedom to Yun Lintian and Gui Xuan.

"Let them come in." A cold female voice suddenly echoed from within.

Hun Yin stepped aside and looked at Yun Lintian silently as if she indicated for him to go in.

Yun Lintian picked up Gui Xuan and walked cautiously into the courtyard. He wouldn't hesitate to run if anything happened, no matter how small.

He walked through a small garden and arrived in front of a wooden hut. Before he could say anything, the door opened by itself.

Yun Lintian briefly scanned the surroundings before stepping into the hut.

When Yun Lintian entered the room, he felt an intense coldness that made him shiver. At the same time, he saw a white figure sitting on the bed.

The figure was a woman dressed in a blue robe. Yun Lintian was unable to see her face clearly because a layer of fog surrounded her head.

At first glance, Yun Lintian could see that her aura resembled that of Xiao Ju, Lan Qinghe's maid. Clearly, she had reached the God Ascension Realm!

"The aura on your body indicates that you arrived here not long ago. Looks like you are one of those unlucky people." The woman spoke calmly.

"Junior Lin Yun greets Senior Flower Ghost Queen." Yun Lintian greeted her politely. "We have indeed been pulled over by unknown skeletal hands. May I know who they are? And why did they pull us over here out of nowhere?"

"Why should I answer your question?" The Flower Ghost Queen spoke. Her voice seemed to possess a magical power that could completely silence Yun Lintian.

"This junior has been rude." Yun Lintian quickly corrected himself, pondering a strategy to extract information from her.

"Do you know why I brought you here?" The Flower Ghost Queen asked.

Yun Lintian shook his head. "Please enlighten me."

"Simple. I need your soul power." As the Flower Ghost Queen's voice fell, a terrifying pressure immediately enveloped Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian's expression changed dramatically. Before he could react, he already found himself unable to move an inch.

Crap! Yun Lintian cursed inwardly. Who said she was kind?

"Normally, I wouldn't make such a despicable move like this. However, I urgently need to recover and avenge my people. Please forgive me." The Flower Ghost Queen said with a hint of apology.

"Argh!" Yun Lintian let out a painful scream as he felt his soul tearing apart. It could be said that this was the most painful experience he had ever felt.

Gui Xuan also twitched in Yun Lintian's embrace. His face wrinkled as he was in pain.

The Flower Ghost Queen glanced at Gui Xuan and waved her hand gently, pulling him away from Yun Lintian.

"Don't worry. To compensate you, I promise to nurture him well. He will receive the best resource." She said calmly.

"You…" Yun Lintian's face contorted with both anger and pain.

Buzz!

Just as Yun Lintian was about to summon the Beyond Heaven King's Crown, a green light suddenly shot out of his body and enveloped the entire mountain.

At that moment, all the flowers swayed and emitted colorful lights as if they were responding to a call.

The pressure around Yun Lintian immediately disappeared, allowing him to move freely again.

"This..." The Flower Ghost Queen was shocked because she recognized this aura. It was the aura of a true god!

Even in her wildest dreams, the Flower Ghost Queen would never have expected that an unknown ghost she had captured was actually protected by a true god.

The green light glowed brightly and enveloped the Flower Ghost Queen, completely immobilizing her. With her injury, it was impossible for her to struggle.

Yun Lintian panted heavily. The pain still lingered within his body. He didn't expect to use one of the three life-saving opportunities that Lan Qinghe had given him in this manner.

After calming down, Yun Lintian approached the Flower Ghost Queen and grabbed her by the neck. His expression was cold as he spoke. "I thought you were kind and different from other ghosts."

"Ugh…" The Flower Ghost Queen struggled to speak. The fog around her head had completely dissipated, revealing her peerless countenance.

However, Yun Lintian didn't care about her beauty. He stared into her eyes and spoke coldly. "I can give you a chance to live for the sake of the protection you provided to Brother Su and Sister Xu, whom you probably don't know. Tell me, do you want to live?"

The Flower Ghost Queen had never encountered this situation before. She was actually threatened by a ghost who was several times weaker. She felt humiliated and wished she could devour Yun Lintian.

However, when faced with death, she could only be honest. "Yes…"

A sarcastic smile appeared on Yun Lintian's face as he spoke. "Heh. It's ridiculous that someone who has died once is afraid of death. It looks like you have something you cannot let go of."

He tightened his grip and spoke coldly. "If you want to survive, simply answer my question truthfully. Understand?"

The Flower Ghost Queen uttered with difficulty. "Understood."

"Good. First, tell me about those people. Where did they go?" Yun Lintian loosened his grip slightly.

"They were sent to the Southern Emperor and the other emperors." The Flower Ghost Queen answered truthfully. "I don't know much about it, but I heard that they would be sacrificed to open the gate to the human world."

Yun Lintian's heart sank. A scene in which countless ghosts appeared in the mortal world emerged in his mind. It would certainly be a disaster.

"Since Yama King has long been gone. Who controls the death messengers?" Yun Lintian asked further.

The Flower Ghost Queen was surprised by the question. "I haven't seen them in a long time. I didn't expect them to be around still… The only one who can control them should be the Central Region Emperor, the Death God."

"The Death God?" Yun Lintian frowned. Could this person be the inheritor of the God of Death?

"He is the most powerful and mysterious figure here." The Flower Ghost Queen continued. "I have never seen him with my own eyes."
