Myth Beyond Heaven

1875 The Tower?

"Only one person?" Yun Lintian was surprised. "Who was that?"

"People called him Yun Tian." Old Man Tang replied.

A strange light flashed in Yun Lintian's eyes. Sure enough, it must be the Beyond Heaven King. From the looks of it, he should be Yun Tian from the past and the one who moved the Tower of Fate to this place.

"How does the quota system work?" Yun Lintian asked curiously.

"Besides the five emperors, the four great sects each have ten quotas. Meanwhile, the twelve clans are allowed to send three people each." Old Man Tang explained.

"The Bridge of Oblivion will open once a year. Without permission from the five emperors, no one can get in."

"I see." Yun Lintian nodded in understanding. "How many quotas did the Ji Clan ask for?"

"Two." Qing Mengmeng took the initiative to respond. She didn't forget to shoot a hateful glare at Ji Daiyu.

"Your sister is very valuable, isn't she?" Yun Lintian said with a faint smile.

"Of course, sir. She is the pride of our Qing Clan." Qing Mengmeng said proudly. When it came to her older sister, she wouldn't hesitate to express her admiration.

Yun Lintian asked for more details. "Where is the bridge?"

Old Man Tang didn't conceal anything. "The bridge is located at the border of the southern, eastern, and central regions."

He pointed eastward and continued. "You can follow this direction for approximately one hundred thousand kilometers, and you will see the bridge."

"However, I don't recommend that you go there, sir. There are powerful people guarding that location."

While speaking, Old Man Tang was curious about Yun Lintian's identity. Almost every ghost here could be said to know about the bridge's location. It was clear that Yun Lintian had recently arrived in the Netherworld.

"Oh." Yun Lintian nodded gently. "By the way, how did you have children?"

Old Man Tang was momentarily taken aback. He smiled and explained. "Sir, although we are spirits, we are not much different from humans. It's just that we need to sacrifice a portion of our power in order to do so."

"I see." Yun Lintian had never studied this point before. It was quite new for him.

"One last question." He spoke. "Have you ever seen a strange tower? Any tall towers?"

"A strange tower?" Old Man Tang thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I have never seen one."

Yun Lintian sighed quietly to himself. He began to doubt the existence of the Tower of Fate in this place.

Ji Daiyu hesitated for a moment before speaking. "I don't know if it's true, but I heard from my elders that they have seen a tower inside the Bridge of Oblivion."

"Oh? Really?" Yun Lintian's eyes lit up.

Ji Daiyu nodded vigorously. "I dare not deceive you, sir. However, it is merely a word from my elders. I have never seen it myself."

Yun Lintian thought for a moment and asked. "Is there a way for me to obtain a quota?"

Old Man Tang and Ji Daiyu smiled wryly. They didn't even have a chance to obtain it. Let alone an outsider like Yun Lintian.

"I will try to persuade my father, sir." Qing Mengmeng suddenly spoke. Her face became serious. "You have saved our lives. I believe that my father will reward you generously."

Old Man Tang opened his mouth, but in the end, no words came out. He believed that it was impossible for the clan leader to give away a precious quota.

Ji Daiyu seemed to catch a glimmer of hope. He said hurriedly. "Sir, I can also try to convince my father if you allow me to go back."

Yun Lintian glanced at him and chuckled. "You should check your brain first when you go back."

Ji Daiyu's expression stiffened. He thought Yun Lintian would be tempted.

Yun Lintian looked at Qing Mengmeng and said. "I can give him to you, but you must retrieve Li Chao. Afterward, take Li Chao to the Wandering Ghost Town and deliver him to Zhao Ming. The town is protected by the Flower Ghost Queen. You can try to mess with it."

Old Man Tang quickly cupped his fists. "Thank you, sir. We will do as you said. Don't worry about Zhao Ming. We all know that he is innocent."

Under the protection of the Flower Ghost Queen, the Qing Clan naturally wouldn't dare to cause trouble. Moreover, they no longer intended to kill Zhao Ming. It was pointless, after all.

Yun Lintian waved his hand, and Ji Daiyu's divine strength was immediately sealed. "Good luck."

After finishing his sentence, Yun Lintian's figure blurred and vanished from the place.

"Sir…" Qing Mengmeng wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

Old Man Tang heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Qing Mengmeng and said solemnly. "You were too reckless, young miss. Thankfully, he isn't a bad person."

"I'm sorry." Qing Mengmeng lowered her head, wearing a look of injustice.

Old Man Tang sighed inwardly. His young miss was good at everything except for being overly naive.

He turned to look at Ji Daiyu and said coldly. "I hope your Ji Clan will redeem you."

Ji Daiyu was angry, but he had to suppress it. At the same time, he felt hopeless in his heart. It was unlikely that the Ji Clan would redeem him.

"Let's go back." Old Man Tang waved his hand and brought everyone away.

***

After leaving Qing Mengmeng's group, Yun Lintian found a relatively secluded location to set up a concealment formation. He then summoned the gate and walked through it.

The best thing for him was that he could enter the Land of Beyond Heaven from the Netherworld to consult with Lin Yitong anytime.

When Yun Lintian appeared in the Land of Beyond Heaven, Jin Huian was the first to approach, followed by Zhang Yu.

Similar to the last time, Zhang Yu quickly grabbed Gui Xuan and ran to the lake.

"How is it?" Jin Huian asked with anticipation.

Yun Lintian hesitated briefly but decided to tell her. "If there are no mistakes, he should be detained in the Central Region."

He then proceeded to talk about what he had learned from the Flower Ghost Queen.

Jin Huian's expression turned unsightly when she heard about it. There was a strong possibility that Master Bai had already been sacrificed.

Yun Lintian didn't know how to comfort her in that moment…
