Myth Beyond Heaven Chapter 622 Zi Jinghu

“Do you think how old they are?” Hongyue’s voice suddenly resounded.

“With their Heaven Profound Realm’s strength, they should be around twenty?” Yun Lintian answered in doubt. He didn’t understand why Hongyue suddenly asked this.

“Hehe. Wrong.” Hongyue laughed amusingly. “They are more than five hundred years old.”

“What!?” Yun Lintian was taken aback. “Why are they….”

“One thing that I am certain of is their bloodline is extremely pure. The problem should lie in the resources. Didn’t they tell you before they come out to find a herb?” Hongyue explained.

Yun Lintian took a deep breath. It seemed the situation of the Fire Cloud Rat Clan was worse than he had imagined.

“Have you decided?” Hongyue asked.

Yun Lintian thought for a moment and said. “Although Little Flame didn’t say anything particularly by giving me the token, I believe deep down he wanted me to take care of his clan. However, I need to check them out first before deciding.”

“What I am concerned about the most right now is why the Fire Cloud Rat Clan could reach this point. According to Guchang, they used to be extremely powerful and could be considered second to the Sky Qilin Clan. It doesn’t make sense for a top clan like this to fall simply because they’re facing the Purple Winged Tiger Clan alone.”

Yun Lintian paused for a moment, and his eyes narrowed slightly. “Most importantly, why did other clans still regard the Fire Cloud Rat Clan as one of the nine clans while barely having enough strength? There must be something behind this.”

Among the nine palaces, the Nine Profound Beast Palace was the most mysterious one. They didn’t show anything much to the outside world, and even Lei Zhenxiang, the Divine Thunder Palace Master, also had a little clue about them.

“….” In the Land of Beyond Heaven, Hongyue listened to Yun Lintian calmly and didn’t express any opinion on this matter. However, if one looked closely, one would see a trace of killing intent in the depth of her eyes. Of course, it wasn’t aimed at Yun Lintian but someone else.

“Well, we will see when the time comes.” Yun Lintian didn’t think about it further and lay on the bed, preparing to sleep.

Linlin snuggled into his arms, finding a comfortable position, and the two began to fall asleep shortly afterward.

Somewhere far away from Yun Lintian’s place, a middle-aged man dressed luxuriously sitting on a luxury chair with his chin held high. His expression revealed an imposingness that came from someone who was naturally born above others. From his eyes, there was arrogance, as if nothing in this world was good enough for him to look at. He was the current patriarch of the Purple Winged Tiger Clan, Zi Jinghu.

Hearing the report, his eyes squinted slightly, and a trace of anger appeared on his face. “Have you found the culprit?”

Standing opposite him was the black-robed man who appeared above the battle scene a while ago. He bowed his head and replied respectfully. “Report Master, I didn’t find anyone. This person’s attainment in the concealment should be extremely high.”VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

Zi Jinghu’s eyes narrowed, and a dangerous glint flashed through them. “We have lost so many people, and you tell me they’ve failed to catch two little mouses?”

The black-robed man trembled in fright and hurriedly bowed his head. “Please cease your anger, Master. This was the first time we’ve encountered such an expert. We are now trying our best to search for them. The result should come out very soon.”

Zi Jinghu stared at the black-robed man for a long time before saying calmly. “I don’t care what method you use. Bring them back before next week.”

“Yes, Master.” The black-robed man hurriedly responded.

Zi Jinghu leaned back slightly. “By the way, have you sent the invitation letter to that old hag Huoyun Yurou?”

“Yes, Master. She said she would be there on time.” The black-robed man replied.

“Really? She said that?” Zi Jinghu’s brows raised in surprise. “Haha. Looks like she can’t sit still further now.”

The black-robed man smiled without saying anything.

“Pay attention to their movement.” Zi Jinghu said and waved his hand dismissively.

“Understood, Master.” The black-robed man responded and retreated out of the room.

After the black-robed man left, Zi Jinghu’s aura suddenly became unstable. His face turned hideous as he muttered. “When the time comes, I will make you pay the price for what you did to my son back then!”

The following day, Yun Lintian made a simple meal for everyone.

“Senior, I’ve asked my grandmother, and she told me to bring you over. Does Senior still want to go?” Huoyun Lingling asked after finishing the breakfast.

“Oh? She agreed? Of course. You can lead the way.” Yun Lintian pretended to be surprised.

They didn’t continue their conversation further and quickly packed everything, preparing to leave.

As soon as Yun Lintian retracted the isolating formation, he suddenly felt a powerful heat surge from the sky, causing him to instinctively doge without thinking, along with Linlin.

Boom!

A fire pillar descended from the sky and landed on Yun Lintian’s original position. The fire was insanely powerful, immediately melting the ground into scorching lava.

Yun Lintian’s figure reappeared several meters away with several ice shields around his body. He glanced upward and saw a white-haired old man in red floating in the air, looking at him solemnly.

What Yun Lintian found weird was this old man stood approximately one hundred and fifty centimeters. He wasn’t much different from the Huoyun sisters in terms of height.

“Uncle Jie!” Huoyun Lingling and Huoyun Yanyan shouted in unison, and they hurriedly floated to the sky, trying to stop the old man from attacking further.

“Two little miss, please step aside.” The old man, Huoyun Jie, said with a severe expression.

“No. You’ve misunderstood, Uncle Jie. He’s our benefactor.” Huoyun Lingling tried to explain.

Huoyun Jie didn’t seem to buy it. His gaze always fixated on Yun Lintian while he was saying. “He’s human. We cannot trust him. Have you forgotten about his Highness?”
