Myth Beyond Heaven

1872 Three Missions

After leaving the Flower Ghost Queen's mountain, Yun Lintian continuously utilized the Shadow Step technique and arrived at a remote area several thousand kilometers away.

With Lan Qinghe's power, Yun Lintian had the opportunity to easily kill the Flower Ghost Queen, but he chose to spare her. Once the Flower Ghost Queen died, Su Lei and Xu Mei would be completely unprotected. It would also draw the attention of the Southern Emperor.

Killing her brought him no benefit except for venting his anger.

Yun Lintian lifted Gui Xuan to examine his body. "Are you hurt?"

Gui Xuan gave Yun Lintian a confused look as if he didn't understand his question.

Yun Lintian carefully examined Gui Xuan's body and confirmed that there were no injuries. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't take a risk."

As if Gui Xuan sensed Yun Lintian's mood, he reached out to touch Yun Lintian's face and said. "We… good."

Yun Lintian smiled. "Yeah. We are good now."

He hugged Gui Xuan and looked around, contemplating which direction to take.

Since Master Bai was taken away by the Death Messenger, he must be in the Central Region. Yun Lintian didn't know how he was right now.

As much as Yun Lintian wanted to go directly to the Central Region, he needed to come up with a suitable plan first.

Yun Lintian fell into deep thought. There were three ultimate missions he had to accomplish here. The first goal was to rescue Master Bai, and the second was to find the Tower of Fate. The last one naturally prevented the Netherworld from reconnecting to the outside world.

The realistic task for him at the moment was finding the Tower of Fate.

"The capital city…" Yun Lintian muttered to himself. The Flower Ghost Queen had never seen any towers, which meant the Tower of Fate wasn't located in the Southern Region. Visiting the capital city might be pointless.

However, Yun Lintian had no better option at the moment. He could only hope to find something over there.

Without hesitation, Yun Lintian transformed into a shadow and dashed toward the capital city.

***

Several kilometers away from Yun Lintian, two figures were running away from something.

One of them was a gray-robed elder whose hair had already turned white. The aura of the Divine King Realm surged through his body. The person next to him was a young girl dressed in a white robe.

The gray-robed elder's power allowed them to move very quickly, but their flight trajectory had started to sway. If one looked closer, one would discover a hideous wound on his waist that hindered him.

Following that, the elder's body swayed violently before he and the young girl abruptly plummeted from the air, causing the young girl to let out a startled scream of terror.

Bang!

The old man crashed to the ground and rolled several times before coming to a stop.

"Grandpa Tang!" The white-robed girl landed on the ground and staggered toward the fallen old man.

The girl had an exquisitely beautiful face. Her long hair was disheveled, but it could not conceal what was undoubtedly an inborn air of nobility. She was clearly someone with a powerful background.

"How are you feeling, Grandpa Tang?" Tears streaked the girl's face as she felt the old man's chaotic and feeble aura. Her heart was filled with endless regrets at the moment.

"I shouldn't be wilful… It's me who hurt you." She continued to mumble through her tears.

The old man struggled to get up, but it was futile. He said in a frail voice. "Young Miss… Do not worry about me. Hurry up and leave…"

"No!" The girl shook her head decisively. "If I hadn't insisted on rescuing big sister, you wouldn't have ended up risking your life to save me time and time again. How can I abandon you and leave?"

As she spoke, she tried to carry the old man. The girl possessed profound strength at the level of the Divine Origin Realm, and she was definitely better than the rest of her peers in terms of talent. But at that moment, she was exceptionally weak and couldn't even lift the old man.

The old man tried to break free from the girl and let out a low roar. "Young Miss… You must not let your emotions affect you! This old slave's life is worthless. I would definitely die with my eyes open if something happened to you. Leave now!"

"Leave? Hehe. Do you think I will let you run again?"

The old man's cry was still echoing in the girl's ears when a dark and cold voice, accompanied by a mocking chuckle, rang out in the air above them.

Upon hearing the voice, the old man and the young girl's faces instantly turned pale and filled with despair.

Ten figures unhurriedly descended from the sky. Nine of them were all dressed in gray robes, while the only young man among them was wearing a luxurious black robe.

Except for the young man, the other nine people exuded an aura at the Divine King Realm. In the Netherworld, where resources were scarce, this was undeniably considered a shocking display of power.

The young man standing in the middle of them had just entered the Divine Origin Realm, yet he was undoubtedly the leader of the group.

As he gazed upon the young girl who was filled with fear and hatred, the corner of his mouth curled up into a mocking, sinister smile. "Qing Mengmeng, I don't know what made you think you could sneak into my place and take your sister away. Could it be that you have been eating too many ghost mushrooms lately?"

"Ji Daiyu!" The young girl, Qing Mengmeng, gritted her teeth with intense hatred. A thin sword silently appeared in her hand, emanating a chilling energy. However, her body and hand had already begun to shake violently.

"Tsk." As he observed the hate-filled expression on Qing Mengmeng's face, Ji Daiyu clicked his tongue with a playful smile. "Your two sisters truly deserve the title Gentle Flowers of the Southern Region. Even when you're enraged, your appearance is still mesmerizing."

"Heh. If I had truly let you escape, how big of a loss would that have been?"

He shifted his gaze to the old man and said with a sinister smile. "Old Man Tang! You have caused me trouble time and time again. Let's see if you can run this time."

Swoosh!

The five people behind Ji Daiyu immediately rushed out…
