Myth Beyond Heaven



Zi Fu suddenly said. "Master, we should wait and see this time."

Zi Wei glanced at him and seemed to understand the meaning behind Zi Fu's words.

"I'll leave this matter to you." He said.

"Understood." Zi Fu responded readily.

A day later, after Yun Lintian left the Heavenhold Realm, the news about him went to the Mystic God Realm spread out to every corner of the Divine Realm. It was so fast that everyone knew someone was behind this. But even so, many people were willing to take a risk and rush to the Mystic God Realm.

Inside the Shen Clan manor, Shen Feng sat calmly in the main seat and listened to the discussion among the clan elders.

Today, numerous practitioners flocked into the Mystic God Realm like no tomorrow. Various major cities were crowded, and small towns were no exception. Because the Mystic God Realm took a neutral stance and had no rule of limiting people, these low-level practitioners weren't afraid of anything.

"Father, we should implement a rule and temporarily close the boundary. I've just received the news that these people forcefully occupy many small villages. It would damage our reputation if this continued." A handsome young man with eighty percent resembled Shen Feng, said with a serious expression. He was the eldest young master of the Shen Clan, Shen Yu.

"I agree with big brother, and we should find the Beyond Heaven King's successor as soon as possible." A lean young man clad in green, Shen Yin, said while glancing at Shen Yan, who sat opposite him. He seemed to know something.

Shen Yan was unfazed and remained silent on this matter.

Shen Feng tapped on the table gently, and everyone immediately went silent. His gaze fell on Shen Yan, and he asked. "What do you think we should do?"

Everyone's eyes immediately fixated on Shen Yan. The elders who supported her were delighted and hoped she could deliver a great solution, while the others looked at her indifferently.

Shen Yan pursed her lips and said. "The Beyond Heaven King's successor can be a double-edged sword. If we make it right, he can bring great benefits to us. I'll leave this decision to you, father. As for those people, the easiest way to deal with them is to kill chickens to scare monkeys. Let them know we are neutral, but it doesn't mean they can take advantage of us."

Shen Feng took a deep look at Shen Yan and turned to an elder on his right side. "Send people to deal with them. We won't close the boundary as it will affect our businesses."

"Understood." The elder, Shen Yimu, responded readily and went out.

Shen Feng shifted his gaze back to Shen Yan and said. "I'll leave his successor's matter to you."

Shen Yan's brows raised slightly. Without a doubt, Shen Feng must know everything already. Otherwise, he would let her take care of such an important matter.

She responded calmly. "I'll try my best."

Shen Feng nodded and waved his hand dismissively. "That's it for today. We should focus on our great event."

"Yes, Patriarch." Everyone said in unison as they watched Shen Feng walk away.

Shen Yin stared at Shen Yan and said. "I heard that second sister is close to that woman who claimed to be my aunt's daughter. I'm wondering what your intention is?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Shen Yan in doubt. All of them here were considered higher echelons of the clan, but they didn't know much about Wu Qingcheng's matter. Whether Wu Qingcheng was Shen Yifei's daughter or not, they didn't dare to pry into her business.

Shen Yan glanced at him and said plainly. "It's none of your business."

As she spoke, she got up and left directly.

Shen Yin quickly said before Shen Yan walked out of the hall. "Their existence caused a bad rumor to spread around. I advised my second sister to get rid of them as soon as possible. If you can't do it, I'll help you."

Shen Yan didn't even pause for a moment. She continued to walk further and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Seeing this, Shen Yin curled his lips with a sneer.

Meanwhile, Shen Yu looked at Shen Yan's disappearing back with a thoughtful expression. Although he didn't think Shen Yan would be his opponent in the race for the true heir position, he admitted that her recent actions gave him a strange feeling. It was as if a storm was brewing somewhere, preparing to descend at any moment.

Shen Yin turned to look at his big brother and said with a smile. "I hope it will be a pleasant competition, big brother."

Shen Yu nodded gently. "I hope so."

Shen Yin chuckled and left with the other elders.

After leaving the main hall, Shen Yan went straight to a small house behind her courtyard. When she arrived, she saw Wu Liwei practicing calligraphy under a big tree. Every stroke from his brush radiated with melancholy and loneliness.

The arrival of Shen Yan didn't affect Wu Liwei's mood at all. He continued to write further without caring about anything around him. During this period, he realized many things and accepted reality well. Though he still loved Shen Yifei deep down, he no longer yearned to be with her.

Shen Yan looked at him for a while and entered the house.

At this moment, Wu Qingcheng was having a bowl of noodles, and when she saw Shen Yan, she merely glanced at her and continued to move the chopsticks.

Shen Yan didn't mind about it. She found a chair nearby and sat calmly, waiting for Wu Qingcheng to finish.

A while later, Wu Qingcheng drank the last drop of the soup and said with a satisfied smile. "Junior brother's recipe is really the best."

Since she had nothing to do here, she could only practice her culinary skill. This bowl of noodles, she made it according to the recipe Yun Lintian gave her back then.

She drank a mouthful of water and looked at Shen Yan. "Has he arrived?"

Shen Yan replied calmly. "I came here for this matter. I want you to find him."

Hearing this, Wu Qingcheng laughed slightly. "I don't remember that I have to find him."

"Your people." Shen Yan said. "I can help your people."

The smile on Wu Qingcheng's face gradually receded. She and her father didn't come here alone but her people too, such as Little Qiu and Little Xia. All of them were brought away, and their fate was still unknown…
