Myth Beyond Heaven

"Everyone did a good job this time." In the study room, Yun Lintian put down a report in his hand and said to Yun Meilan and Yun Lingwei opposite him. "Now it's time for us to stay hidden. Tell our people to stop their actions and stay low for the time being."

Yun Lingwei was puzzled. "Why? There are still a lot of them left. Are we going to let these beasts go?"

Yun Lintian shook his head. "Certainly not."

"Then you…" Yun Lingwei frowned in confusion.

Yun Meilan suddenly interjected. "The Peng clan is suspecting us now. It's too risky to continue."

Yun Lingwei looked at Yun Meilan with eyes widened open. "How? We did everything so cleanly."

Yun Lintian explained. "It's true we didn't leave any trace behind. However, you shouldn't forget that our methods are too identical. They should notice by now, we can't confront them head-on. Which means we're actually weak. So if we continued further, it might be our loss instead."

Yun Lingwei immediately realized this. That was indeed the case. If the enemy had figured this out, they would definitely make better preparation. By then, the Cloud Shadow team might suffer a severe loss.

Yun Lintian said further. "If I guess correctly, we are the prime suspects in their eyes now."

"Hmm?" Yun Lingwei was puzzled once again.

Yun Lintian leaned back and let out a sigh. "We are too high profile last time. You had shown your formation ability to the public. They should be able to connect the dots and trace them back to you. Meanwhile, that useless Old Man Tian is constantly promoting me everywhere. It would be a joke if the Peng clan didn't suspect me."

Yun Lingwei slowly nodded her head. "What should we do now?"

"Do nothing." Yun Lintian responded. "We should focus on practicing. I reckon the next battle between them and us will be the deciding battle. So it's better to raise our strength as fast as possible."

He turned to Yun Meilan and said. "I'll trouble you to distribute resources to our people."

Yun Meilan nodded her head without saying anything.

Knock! Knock!

"Headmaster, someone is looking for you." Suddenly, a knocking sound rang out in the door direction along with a female voice.

Yun Lintian glanced at Yun Lingwei and Yun Meilan before letting the woman in.

"Who is it?" Yun Lintian asked.

The woman shook her head as she replied. "I don't know, headmaster. I had never seen him before. However, his strength is extremely terrifying. I cannot see through him."

Every Cloud Shadow team member possessed a sharp perception and could roughly guess the target's strength. The woman before Yun Lintian was one of the best among them, but she had actually failed to perceive this mysterious guest's power. This showed the person wasn't ordinary and was likely to be the peak of the Monarch Profound practitioner.

Yun Lintian frowned slightly and pondered who this person was. After a while, he said to the woman. "Arrange him the VIP box and serve the best food. I'll be there in a while… Let's not send our people in. You can arrange ordinary waitresses to do this."

"Understood, Headmaster." The woman bowed her head and walked out of the room.

"What are you thinking?" Yun Lingwei asked. She couldn't guess this person's intention of coming here.

Yun Lintian thought for a moment and said. "This person should be someone from the Peng clan."

"What? They dare to send someone here?" Yun Lingwei asked in disbelief.

Yun Lintian stood up and said. "I'll see him. Lingwei, standby here. Wait for my signal, and you can activate the formation. Meilan, contact Han Bingling, inviting her here and tell her I have something to talk with her."

Yun Lingwei and Yun Meilan accepted the tasks readily and sent Yun Lintian out.

When Yun Lintian arrived at the VIP box, he immediately saw a refined-looking man leisurely sipping a tea while admiring a painting hung on the wall. This man was naturally Yin Xu.

Yun Lintian secretly opened Eyes of Heaven and was immediately shocked inwardly. The amount of energy he saw in Yin Xu was even more tremendous than Han Bingling. What was more, he didn't even hide Abyssal Energy!… So confident?

Yin Xu turned to look at Yun Lintian with a harmless smile. "I've heard about you before. You are indeed talented."

Calming himself down, Yun Lintian went to sit opposite Yin Xu and responded. "My talent shouldn't be counted as a thing in front of you… Why don't you get to the point? What's your purpose in coming here?"

Yin Xu put the teacup down and replied with a smile. "To deal with you, of course. Don't you know that you've been in our ways recently?"

Yun Lintian's heart skipped a beat. This was the first time he met the enemy in such a straightforward manner. He stared at Yin Xu for a full minute before saying. "You're wrong. It wasn't me who was in your ways, but rather your Poison Valley was in my ways. Originally, I have nothing to do with you guys at all. It was that way until your people messed with me first."

Yin Xue laughed slightly. "So you are saying there's a chance for reconciliation between us?"

"You can understand that way. However, I don't think you can afford my condition." Yun Lintian stared straight into Yin Xu's eyes fearlessly.

"Oh? Why don't you say it?" Yin Xu looked at Yun Lintian with great interest.

Yun Lintian smiled. "Get the hell out of this continent."

The smile on Yin Xu's face reduced a bit upon hearing this. He shook his head slightly. "You're right. I can't agree with this condition." He paused for a moment and continued. "I won't hide anything from you. We chose this Northern Continent because it is the weakest one out of the five continents. As long as we can occupy this place. We will have the strength to conquer other continents."

Yun Lintian calmly took a sip of tea and said. "Then, we can only meet each other on the battlefield."

Yin Xu chuckled. "I'm curious. You're clearly not someone from this world. Why are you caring about this place so much?"

Yun Lintian was extremely shocked in his heart… How did he know?
