Myth Beyond Heaven

"The Divine Phoenix Palace disciples would lead this campaign. Is there any objection?" Zhou Chong made a conclusion directly.

Xue Suzhu, Tong Wanyu, and Wen Zizai glanced at each other and replied. "We have no objection."

"Very well." Zhou Chong nodded slightly and turned to Nantian Jiyou. "Our City Lord manor will send ten elites to participate in this campaign. I'll have to trouble Elder Nantian to take care of them."

"No problem, Senior." Nantian Jiyou replied readily.

Zhou Chong looked at everyone and said. "I've prepared accommodation for everyone. Feel free to tell me if you lack anything."

"Thank you, Old City Lord Zhou." Xue Suzhu, Tong Wanyu, and Wen Zizai clasped their hands, expressing gratitude, and walked away under servants' guidance.

"Senior, I'm afraid we cannot stay here today. Please forgive us." Nantian Jiyou smiled apologetically.

Zhou Chong waved his hand and said in an understanding manner. "No need to say this to me. I understand that Elder Nantian is a busy person. If you want my help, please say it directly. I'll try my best to satisfy your request."

"Thank you, Senior. We will leave first." Nantian Jiyou clasped her hands and led Yun Lintian and the others out of the manor.

Watching them leave, Zhou Chong sighed softly as he turned to look at his son. "It seems your state of mind is not right today. You need to practice more."

Zhou Ye's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly bowed his head. "I'm sorry, father. I will improve myself."

Zhou Chong smiled faintly and walked away.

Looking at the old man walking away, a cold glint flashed through Zhou Ye's eyes, and a trace of hatred could be seen on his face.

Somewhere in the Sunlight Port City, Situ Wuyou looked at a white-haired old man who had just come out of a room with expectation. "How is he?"

The old man shook his head slightly. "Although the injury hasn't affected his foundation, his profound vein has been damaged to a great extent. It would take at least half a year to recover fully. Moreover, there may be a side-effect afterward."

"What is it?" Situ Wuyou hurriedly asked.

The old man hesitated slightly and said. "I'm afraid he can no longer enjoy a blissful activity."

"What? How could it be possible?" Situ Wuyou's face turned unsightly.

The old man sighed. "I don't know whether it was his opponent's intention. I discovered that Young Master's Yang gate was burned badly. It is extremely difficult to recover even with the Saint power."

"Damn it! It must be that bastard's intention!" Situ Wuyou fully believed Yun Lintian must deliberately do it. He refused to believe it was a coincidence.

He took a few deep breaths to calm down and asked in a deep voice. "Is there any way to restore it?"

The old man nodded. "There is a precious flower that could restore one's Yang gate called Burning Heart Flower. It can be found on Heaven Vault Island. You can try to get it through treasure pavilions first."

"That's good. I'll send people out to find it now." Situ Wuyou's mood improved immediately. As long as he could restore Situ Yuanzhi's Yang gate, Sect Master certainly wouldn't punish him.

However, the good mood didn't last long. An hour later, Situ Wuyou's face became gloomy as he received the news from his subordinates. The Burning Heart Flower was out of stock throughout the Southern Continent.

"F*ck!" Situ Wuyou couldn't help smashing a table nearby, but the anger in his heart did not reduce in the slightest.

After a while, he called ten disciples that were going to participate in the Heaven Vault Island campaign over.

"All of you must get the Burning Heart Flower back from this trip. I don't care what method you use. Understand?" Situ Wuyou said coldly.

The ten disciples hurriedly expressed their understandings and went out to prepare themselves.

Situ Wuyou gritted his teeth as killing intent flashed through his eyes. "Yun Lintian. I originally planned to let you go, but it seems impossible now. Don't give me a chance. Otherwise… Hmph! I will make you regret!"

***

Yun Lintian was unaware of the whole thing that happened to Situ Wuyou and Situ Yuanzhi. In fact, he had no idea that his attack caused such a terrible effect on Situ Yuanzhi. It wasn't his intention at all.

Right now, he was sitting in a living room with Linlin and Nantian Fengyu.

"Junior Brother, how come your strength grew so fast? Is there any secret you want to tell your lovely Fifth Sister?" Nantian Fengyu asked curiously.

Yun Lintian smiled and said. "There's no secret. I'm merely lucky."

As much as Yun Lintian wanted to tell Nantian Fengyu, he couldn't simply say it directly. He had to wait for the right moment to tell her about his power.

Nantian Fengyu pouted in dissatisfaction. Clearly, her good Junior Brother didn't want to tell her.

Just as she was about to say something, her brows suddenly creased together as she perceived a familiar presence coming in her direction.

Yun Lintian had also discovered this but didn't think about it much. It was until he saw a charming figure walk into the room did he feel something was not right.

This woman was dressed in a shoulder-revealing-luxury red robe with an embroidered divine phoenix pattern. Her face was seventy percent similar to Nantian Fengyu. Her pupils were crimson red, including her hair and lips. She looked highly charming, exuding an elegant and noble aura far surpassing Han Bingling's.

"Why are you here?" Nantian Fengyu asked coldly. Her usual childish expression was nowhere to be seen at the moment.

The woman didn't stop her track. She smiled charmingly and said. "You don't want to see me, my dear daughter?"

She paused for a moment and turned to Yun Lintian. "You must be my daughter's Junior Brother, Yun Lintian. Please to meet you. My name is Nantian Xuanyu. The current Divine Phoenix Palace Master." Her voice was pleasant to hear. It was as though she could stir one's heart simply with her voice alone.

Yun Lintian was shocked inwardly. He didn't expect this person to be the current Divine Phoenix Palace Master.

He hurriedly stood up and greeted her politely. "Hello, Palace Master Nantian."

"You don't have to be polite. Since you are her Junior Brother, we can be considered a family." Nantian Xuanyu smiled and sat on a vacant seat beside Nantian Fengyu.
