Myth Beyond Heaven

After a while, the Devil Fire suddenly turned to Yun Lintian and screamed at him. "You've ruined my plan!"

Everyone's expression was changed drastically. They didn't expect this fire to actually have consciousness.

"Who are you?" Yun Lintian stared at the Devil Fire attentively as though he were studying it. To him, it wasn't a surprise at all to see the Devil Fire talking. He had read a ton of novels about this kind of plot before. Perhaps this Devil Fire was a part of an old monster who got imprisoned in the bridge.

"Me? Hehehe. You lowly creature doesn't deserve to know my name." The Devil Fire said disdainfully. "However, you are quite interesting. I had never seen any lowly creature with a powerful fire source like you before. Hehehe. You must be delicious than this trash."

Hearing this, Yun Lintian smiled coldly and said. "Senior Hong, just kill it. No need to waste our salivas further."

The Devil Fire laughed mockingly. "Kill me? Heh. This is just a tiny part of my power. Come to see me at the Devil Flame Bridge if you have the gut. I'll let you know what's the real hell."

"Are you stupid? Do you think I would go there? No wonder you have been imprisoned in that place. It turns out you are this stupid." Yun Lintian chuckled.

"Hmph! If it wasn't because that trash launched a sneak attack on me. I wouldn't have become like this." The Devil Fire snorted angrily.

That trash? So he was imprisoned by someone for real. Yun Lintian thought. He didn't expect this Devil Fire would be so stupid to reveal its situation like this.

"Defeat is defeat. You don't have to come up with this lame excuse. Whether that person did as you said or not, you are the one who ended up losing. That's the final result." Yun Lintian responded with a mocking smile.

The Devil Fire surprisingly went silent, but it glared at Yun Lintian as though he wanted to eat him alive. In the next moment, its figure suddenly swayed slightly and started to dissipate.

Hong Wuya's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly clenched his palm, trying to destroy the Devil Fire.

However, Hong Wuya's action was a split second late. The Devil Fire had dissipated entirely before he could destroy it.

"Don't let me see you again, you lowly creature. I will make you pay the price for ruining my plan." The Devil Fire's voice echoed in everyone's mind before it had gone entirely.

Yun Lintian and others quickly used their Spiritual Senses to find the Devil Fire's trace, but nothing could be found in the end.

"What is that thing?" Lan Shuiying couldn't help asking. She had never seen something like this before in her life.

Hong Wuya frowned slightly as he explained. "According to the legend, there was a creature called devil born alongside humans. Similar to human practitioners, these devils had also possessed various powers. This Devil Fire is one of them. Its ability to control fire is no less than the first generation Blazing Sun Palace Master that was known as the most powerful fire-attribute practitioner."

Hong Wuya paused briefly and added. "As far as I know, these devils had long ceased to exist more than ten thousand years ago. How could it appear here?… I must inform Principal Tian."

Yun Lintian's brows creased together involuntarily upon listening to Hong Wuya's narration. If the Devil Fire was powerful, as Hong Wuya said, why did Yan Qi tell Yang Chen to go there?… There must be a reason for this.

Yun Lintian put these thoughts aside and started to treat Yang Chen's injuries. Perhaps Yang Chen could give him an explanation.

An hour later, Yang Chen's wounds had improved, but he still needed at least a month to recover fully.

"Phew…" Yun Lintian let out a long breath of tiredness and turned to Lin Xinyao. "Thank you for helping us."

Lin Xinyao said nothing and kept staring at Yun Lintian. No one knew what she was thinking under that veil.

Yun Lintian was puzzled slightly, but he was too tired to ask. He turned to Hong Wuya and said. "I'll go back first, Senior. Yang Chen should be able to recover soon. If there's anything out of the ordinary, please inform me immediately."

Hong Wuya waved his hand dismissively. "Don't worry."

Yun Lintian exchanged a few words with Cai Xuwen and Lan Shuiying before leaving the Starry Mountain with Lin Xinyao.

Yun Lintian and Lin Xinyao remained silent throughout the journey to Moonlight Peak.

However, before the two could climb the mountain, Lin Xinyao suddenly stopped her tracks and said. "Can you help me?"

Yun Lintian was taken aback slightly by the sudden request. He looked at her carefully and didn't see any abnormality in her body. He asked curiously. "What do you want me to help with?"

"Can you treat my aunt?" Lin Xinyao said softly. Her eyes were full of expectation.

"Your aunt? You mean Master Lin?" Yun Lintian frowned slightly. He hadn't checked on Lin Zixuan before and had no clue about her condition. He only knew that she was crippled.

Lin Xinyao nodded. "She has been torturing by a powerful seal, and it's gnawing her vitality away every second."

"A seal?… Why don't you tell me how she has become like this first?" Yun Lintian responded. He had always been curious about Lin Zixuan's incident for a while now.

Lin Xinyao hesitated for a while and said. "Sorry, I cannot tell you about it. Because if you know, your life will be in danger."

"But if I successfully treated her, wouldn't I also be in danger?" Yun Lintian felt it was funny.

Lin Xinyao shook her head. "It's different."

Seeing she didn't want to tell him about it, Yun Lintian didn't press further and said. "Alright, I will take a look at her first. Although my medical skills are good, the seal art is entirely different."

It was true that Yun Lintian had studied about the seal art before; he wasn't confident dealing with the seal in Lin Zixuan's body. To seal the peak of the Monarch Profound Realm like Lin Zixuan, this seal should be an extremely high-level one and perhaps beyond Yun Lintian's ability.
