Myth Beyond Heaven

As the golden flash faded, Zhou Ya was sent flying and heavily fell to the ground, with black smoke coming out of her chest.

"Miss!" Lu Bo was anxious and hurriedly went to Zhou Ya's side. A moment later, he heaved a sigh of relief and turned to cup his fists toward Yun Lintian. "Many thanks, Young Hero, for raising your hand."

As a seasoned practitioner, Lu Bo was aware that Yun Lintian had deliberately lowered his power during the previous attack. Otherwise, Zhou Ya's life would be gone by now.

Furthermore, judging from Yun Lintian's confident appearance, Lu Bo believed that even if he made a move, he might not be this young man's opponent!… The Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm powerhouse was actually suppressed by the Ruler Profound Realm youth. What kind of concept was that!?

Yun Lintian retracted his finger, and the surrounding layer of frost gradually melted and turned into a pool of water.

He said calmly with a faint smile. "If Senior were to make a move, the person who laid on the ground right now could be me instead."

Lu Bo shook his head. "You don't have to be humble. I know that you have a trump card that could possibly beat me in one shot."

Yun Lintian smiled and said nothing. In fact, the trick he used earlier only worked once because of Zhou Ya's misjudgment. If he were to fight for a second time, he would have to go all out. Let alone confronting a Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm expert at the same time.

"Cough!" Zhou Ya coughed a mouthful of blood while struggling to get up from the ground. Her face was deadly pale, normally for someone who had just gone through a near-dead experience.

"How are you, Miss?" Lu Bo asked concernedly.

Zhou Ya suppressed the injury and said in a deep voice. "You should know that we cannot let him go."

Lu Bo smiled bitterly upon hearing this. If the opponent wasn't Yun Lintian, he would have long killed him by now. The problem was he knew that he couldn't do anything to Yun Lintian. Hence, why wouldn't they choose a peaceful method instead?

"Miss, let's listen to this Young Hero first. Shall we?" Lu Bo said attentively.

Naturally, Zhou Ya was aware that she was at Yun Lintian's mercy earlier. It was just that she didn't want to take a risk exposing her daughter's identity.

"State your intention." Zhou Ya finally gave in.

Yun Lintian smiled and said. "As I told two seniors before. I am currently planning to enter the Skymist Ancient City. Of course, I'm not foolish enough to risk my life for a fantasy treasury. I have my own reason to go there."

He paused for a moment and continued. "You can rest assured. I'm not going to inquire about your matter. I just want to know the general information about the city. For example, the windstorm's center position or traps around the city. If Seniors do know about them, please tell me."

Zhou Ya and Lu Bo glanced at each other, appearing as though they couldn't believe what Yun Lintian had just said.

Lu Bo thought for a moment and said. "I indeed know about it… The outsiders might not know this. In fact, before the windstorm appeared, there was a green object falling down from the sky and landed precisely at the city center. Before anyone could react, the windstorm had already raged. Even Lord Skymist couldn't resist it and perished in just a few seconds."

Speaking to this point, Lu Bo let out a long sigh. His face was full of melancholy as he continued. "I was fortunate enough to avoid it. At that time, I was accompanying Young Master to other places."

Yun Lintian nodded his head slowly. He asked curiously. "So, it is right at the city center?… Since you're not there, how did you know about it, Senior?"

Lu Bo went silent for a moment and explained. "Our Tang clan has a special method to transmit one's dying experience to another person so that we could find the murderer when something happened to our people. Young Master was the one who received it."

"I see." Yun Lintian nodded slightly. He looked at Lu Bo and asked further. "Is there anyone who survived this incident besides you and your young master?"

Lu Bo's expression gradually fell when he heard this question. "There is. It's the Shi clan's eldest young master, Shi Longwei. He's now becoming a high-level member of the Star Gazing Palace."

"He's the one who killed my parents-in-law." Zhou Ya added. Her eyes were filled with deep hatred as she said. "In order to let us escape, they used themselves as baits to lure Shi Longwei away."

Yun Lintian went silent. He roughly understood the situation now. Lu Bo's Young Master should be an expert in the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm, similar to Lu Bo. Otherwise, they wouldn't be alive until now, counting the 2,000 years lifespan of the peak Monarch. And they had a son, which was Zhou Ya's husband.

"Star Gazing Palace… The rumor said that they are behind the renowned Star Pavilion. No wonder they could find your trace." Yun Lintian frowned deeply.

Aside from the Azure Palace, the Star Gazing Palace was extremely mysterious to him. According to the information he got, they specialized in divination, and that was all Yun Lintian knew about them. They seemed to be very low-key from the beginning to the present.

"They played a great role in this." A cold killing intent flashed through Zhou Ya's eyes as she spoke.

Yun Lintian thought for a moment and asked. "Have you considered joining other palaces like this Shi Longwei?"

"We did, but my father-in-law didn't want us to be shackled by them." Zhou Ya said and looked at her daughter, who slept soundly on the side. "That's why I let Uncle Lu seal her profound vein."

A frown appeared between Yun Lintian's brows. He didn't mean to mess with others' business, but he couldn't help saying. "Please forgive me for saying this. I think your approach is wrong. If you want your daughter to live a carefree life, you must let her practice… Only an absolute strength could allow you to be free from everything."

Zhou Ya went silent immediately. A complicated expression appeared on her face… Perhaps her approach was indeed wrong for all this time.
