Myth Beyond Heaven

"Hmph!" Han Bingling snorted coldly and was about to chase after Yin Xu. However, she was stopped by Yun Lintian's hand.

"No need to follow him. He came prepared. You won't be able to catch him no matter what." Yun Lintian expressed his thoughts.

Although this was the first time he met Yin Xu, Yin Xu's strength and boundless confidence gave Yun Lintian a general idea about him. This person was extremely clever. It would be a joke if he was easily caught by Han Bingling after showing himself openly like this.

Han Bingling retracted her aura, and the frosts in the room gradually disappeared, leaving a trace of water behind.

"Listen to you earlier. You seem familiar with him?" Yun Lintian asked.

A killing intent flashed across Han Bingling's eyes as she said. "He's a beloved disciple of Shadow Sovereign, one of the four generals of Poison Valley."

"Shadow Sovereign? Four generals?" Yun Lintian repeated with curiosity.

"In fact, I don't know much about them. It was Principal Tian who told me." Han Bingling said. "Poison Valley has a hierarchy similar to a sect. Poison Valley Master is standing on the top, and below him are two lords and four generals. The true identity of Poison Valley Master and two lords are still unknown to us until now."

"How did Principal Tian know about it?" Yun Lintian pointed out.

"From the record passed down by Lord Sky Throne." Han Bingling replied.

Yun Lintian touched his chin with a thoughtful expression. This was the first time he came into contact with the upper echelons of Poison Valley and felt he had been underestimated them for all this time. His current preparation was clearly not enough. It seemed he had to find a way to speed up the overall strength of Misty Cloud Sect soon.

"Let's talk about Yin Xu. What is he?" Yun Lintian didn't understand how Yin Xue left under Han Bingling's aura so easily. Although he was far stronger than Han Bingling, he should at least be affected by Han Bingling's pressure.

"He's a shadow demon." Han Bingling said. A trace of hatred could be heard in her voice.

"Shadow demon…" Yun Lintian searched for the relevant information related to Shadow Demon in his mind, but he couldn't find anything.

"It's kind of profound beast that proficient in a shadow movement." Han Bingling said as she looked at Yun Lintian. "Speaking of this. His movement is similar to yours."

Yun Lintian frowned and recalled Yin Xu's action earlier. He was certain the principle between his Shadow Step and Yin Xu's shadow movement was entirely different. While Shadow Step relied solely on a shadow and was an instant movement technique, Yin Xu's action was more similar to a chameleon's disguise technique.

He shook his head. "I don't think so."

Han Bingling nodded her head slowly and said. "If you want to know more. Just go visit Principal Tian… Yin Xu's appearance reminds us that Poison Valley is about to make a new move. And this time, it will be something bigger than before. My Frozen Moon Palace might not be able to resist it alone."

Yun Lintian went silent for a moment before asking. "Have you ever thought, what is the real purpose of Poison Valley?"

Han Bingling's eyebrows creased together. "What did he say to you?"

Yun Lintian shook his head. "Nothing. I feel like their purpose is not simply as stomping us, humans."

Han Bingling took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said. "No matter what purpose they have, we cannot live with them."

Yun Lintian didn't react to her word and decided to keep this matter to himself for now.

"Right, my people had discovered a strange spatial fluctuation on the Frozen Moon Mythical Realm's entrance. It is likely to open earlier than before. You should prepare yourself to enter at any time." Han Bingling changed the topic.

"Really? That's good." Yun Lintian was overjoyed. He couldn't wait to enter anymore.

"I'll leave first. There are a lot of things I need to prepare… Be careful of Yin Xu." Han Bingling said before disappearing from the room.

Afterward, Yun Lintian quickly called Yun Lingwei and Yun Meilan in. "From today onward, we will focus on training. I'll send you back to the Land of Beyond Heaven later."

Yun Lingwei and Yun Meilan nodded solemnly. They had witnessed Yin Xu's might earlier and realized how weak they were.

"I leave this place for you." Yun Lintian said to Yun Lingwei and went to the study room to pick Linlin before heading back to Moonlight Peak.

***

Another week passed by quickly. During this week, Yun Lintian was paying attention to Yin Xu's whereabouts and his true purpose in coming here. However, Yin Xu seemed to disappear from this world since they met. This made Yun Lintian curious about what exactly Yin Xu wanted to do.

Naturally, Yin Xu's appearance had alarmed Principal Tian and the other three clans. They seemed to foresee the upcoming fierce battle and started to prepare for the worst.

Instantly, the atmosphere within the divine city turned strange. Everyone could feel invisible pressure cover the entire city like a morning haze. Those who possessed a sharp perception and connection seemed to be aware something was about to happen. They decisively left the divine city without looking back.

At this moment, Yun Lintian was standing calmly in front of the Forest Maze training ground's entrance and looked at several students discussing the strategy.

"Brother Yun. We are ready now." Bai Qingyi walked to Yun Lintian's side and said.

Yun Lintian turned to look at Bai Qingyi and glanced toward a group of people behind him. Currently, Qin Yiran, Qin Yuyan, Chu Heng, Chu Mi, Lan Shuiying, Yang Chen, and Ye Xiaolong were checking their equipment carefully for one last time before entering the training ground.

Yun Lintian nodded and said. "Alright, let's go."

Following that, Yun Lintian walked toward the stone gate under the gaze of other students nearby. Thanks to Wang Jue's rampantly slandering Yun Lintian, now, everyone could recognize him at a glance. They were looking forward to seeing Yun Lintian's performance.
