Myth Beyond Heaven

"Your progress has improved a lot. Should I start to call you Senior Sister Lin now?" Murong Xue smiled gently.

Lin Xinyao responded. "No matter what, you will be my senior sister."

Murong Xue said nothing further as she felt strange in her heart. If it was Lin Xinyao before, she would at least amuse by her tease, but the current her exuded an entirely different temperament, as though she had become another person.

"May I ask what happened to Senior Sister Jiang?" Lin Xinyao asked.

Murong Xue sighed and said. "What else? She is forced to return and married to that bastard Wang Lin."

A strange light flashed through Lin Xinyao's eyes as she nodded gently. "I see."

Murong Xue looked at Lin Xinyao for a moment and said. "Go ahead. Your Master must be worried about you during this period."

Lin Xinyao nodded and entered the hut.

"She seems….different?" Long Feiyan frowned as she watched Lin Xinyao walking away.

"Mhm. It must be related to the experiences she faced in the past months." Murong Xue looked at Lin Xinyao's back thoughtfully.

Upon entering the hut, Lin Xinyao walked to Han Bingling and Lin Zixuan. "Master, Aunty."

Han Bingling was surprised to see Lin Xinyao appear here. She looked up and down at Lin Xinyao and said. "Why don't you tell me so I can pick you up?"

Lin Xinyao shook her head gently. "I can come by myself."

Like Murong Xue and Long Feiyan, Hang Bingling felt Lin Xinyao had changed. Although Lin Xinyao in the past was more mature than her peers, the current her was at least two levels higher than before. That was Han Bingling's evaluation of her.

Lin Zixuan was no exception, but she didn't think about it much. One's temperament would eventually change when one's strength reaches a certain level.

Han Bingling smiled and said. "Sit. Tell me about your experience during this period? What did Ancestor teach you?"

Lin Xinyao sat down and removed her veil, revealing her peerless face. She smiled faintly and said. "I've gained a lot from First Ancestor's teachings. However, we have to give credit to the environment inside the cave. That place is a paradise for us, water-attributed practitioners."

Han Bingling nodded slightly and asked. "Have you seen Yun Qianxue?"

Lin Xinyao thought for a moment before answering. "I did, but we never had a conversation. She was too focused on her practice."

Han Bingling couldn't help asking further. "What is her current strength?"

Lin Xinyao smiled faintly. "When the time comes, Master will definitely be surprised."

"I see. You've learned how to hide information from your master now, huh?" Han Bingling chuckled.

Lin Xinyao changed the topic. "Master, what is the current situation?… On the way here, I've discovered a lot of Abyssal Profound Beasts. Their number seems to increase drastically."

Han Bingling let out a sigh and said. "It's not optimistic. Last time, Hong Wuya sacrificed his life to obtain the crucial information. However, there are too many moles on this continent. I've exhausted every means to get rid of them, but it's too difficult. They are in the dark, after all."

"Not to mention the Peng Clan. They are getting more and more rampant now. Even Principal Tian may not be able to restrain them further… Thankfully, we got some help from a group of mysterious people. Their ability to gather information is very terrifying. To me, they are even better than the Star Pavilion… It could be said that our Northern Continent is still around because of them."

"A mysterious group?" A strange light flashed through Lin Xinyao's eyes as if she thought of something.

Han Bingling nodded. "They would occasionally send us crucial news about the Poison Valley's moles and plans. And everything they provided is absolutely accurate so far. I've tried to contact them, but it seems they don't want to show themselves."

A smile appeared on Lin Xinyao's face as Yun Lintian's figure appeared in her mind. Undoubtedly, these mysterious people were related to him. Besides Yun Lintian, she couldn't think of anyone capable of setting up an efficient intelligent network.

"Let's not talk about this. My head is about to explode." Han Bingling leaned back slightly and rubbed her temples. During this period, she had no time to rest or practice as she constantly monitored the overall situation and dealt with it timely.

"Do you want to participate in the upcoming Heavenly Sword Summit?" Han Bingling changed the topic.

Lin Xinyao thought for a moment and said. "Let's see the situation first… If it's possible, I would like to go."

Han Bingling nodded and said. "Although the situation is not good, there shouldn't be anything happening in the next few months. I'll let Muyue and Muxue accompany you to the Central Continent."

"Perfect!" Yun Lintian looked at a cloud symbol that he personally painted on the ship's body in satisfaction. In the future, everyone would tremble when they saw this symbol as it represents the absolute power of the Misty Cloud Sect.

"Not bad." Yun Lingwei nodded her head in agreement.

Yun Lintian washed his hands and turned to Yun Ci. "Are you ready?"

Yun Ci replied with a serious expression. "I've mastered it now, Headmaster."

"Good. I will leave this duty to you. Prepare yourself well. We will leave in an hour." Yun Lintian said.

He waved his hand, and the Heavenly Cloud Profound Skyship immediately shrank into a palm-sized one. Yun Lintian stored it away and left the Land of Beyond Heaven.

After returning to the Water Cave, Yun Lintian put away the concealing formation and went to see Guchang and others.

However, when he walked halfway, he suddenly perceived a familiar presence coming from the entrance. Yun Lintian raised his guard up and carefully looked over.

"Matriarch Bi?" Yun Lintian was surprised slightly. It turned out to be Bi Xian who came.

Bi Xian turned around to face Yun Lintian and said. "I came to tell you the news. Tianqi Junlai and the Myriad Pill Palace have joined forces to capture you. Right now, no one knows about your position. You better be careful when you go out."
