Myth Beyond Heaven

Under everyone's surprised gaze, Yan Yaoting looked at Yun Lintian and said. "Although your power is higher, you lack a lot of understanding toward swordsmanship. If it was a real battle, you might not be Chen'er's opponent."

When everyone heard this, they subconsciously nodded their head in agreement. They could see that Yun Lintian wasn't a sword practitioner. He could win the earlier confrontation because of his strength, not the essence of the swordsmanship.

Yun Lintian didn't deny it. He admitted honestly. "Palace Master Yan is right. I can only borrow the power from this spiritual sword. I naturally wasn't Young Master Yang's opponent if we competed purely on swordsmanship."

Before everyone could agree with him, they suddenly heard Yun Lintian say further. "However, in a real battlefield, the victor is a king, and the loser is a bandit. No matter how high your skill is, it is nothing in front of overwhelming power. Hence, I'm afraid I have to disagree with Palace Master Yan's latter statement."

He paused for a moment and said with a faint smile. "If this was a real battle, Young Master Yang would have become a corpse by now."

Hiss—

The crowd sucked in a cold breath. They didn't expect Yun Lintian to be this daring.

Yan Yaoting's eyes narrowed slightly as he replied with a smile. "Perhaps we will see it one day."

Yun Lintian merely smiled and returned to his seat. He raised his hand gently, and the spiritual rainbow sword in his hand gradually dissipated, vanishing completely.

Meanwhile, Yang Chen stared at Yun Lintian for a long while before returning to his seat. The fighting spirit in the depths of his eyes grew even stronger.

"You will have a chance later." Yan Yaoting said to him. "Don't forget our original purpose."

"Don't worry." Yang Chen replied calmly.

"We cannot let this person grow further." Xing Renshu said to Xing Fang. The power Yun Lintian displayed earlier gave him a fatal threat. This person would undoubtedly become an unstoppable figure in the near future.

"Palace Master has already replied. We will use Star Pickers to deal with him after the Heavenly Sword Summit." Xing Fang responded.

A relieved smile appeared on Xing Rengshu's face upon hearing this. The Star Pickers were the secret weapons of the Star Gazing Palace. The weakest among them was at the second level of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm. Letting them deal with Yun Lintian was undoubtedly more than enough.

"However, we cannot underestimate him. According to the information I got earlier, he should be the one who solved the predicament of the Northern Continent not long ago. It was said the Poison Valley led by the Northern Endless Sea Lord was utterly defeated." Xing Fang said with a frown between his brows.

"Unfortunately, our people there have been wiped out by an unknown group of people. Now, the Northern Continent is basically shut off from the outside world."

Xing Renshu's expression changed slightly. The last time he got the news, the situation in the Northern Continent was pretty much in dire straits. How could they suddenly turn around and drive the Poison Valley away?

He subconsciously glanced at Yun Lintian in doubt. No matter how heaven-defying his talent was, it should be impossible for Yun Lintian to defeat Yin Bei, right? Also, who could actually clean all of his people?

Xing Renshu didn't know that Yun Lintian's Cloud Shadow Team kept their eyes on the Star Pavilion on the Northern Continent for a long time and the invasion of the Poison Valley gave them an opportunity to wipe all the pavilion out in one go.

Since Yun Lintian planned to make the Northern Continent his base, cleaning all of these spies was naturally necessary.

As the episode between Yun Lintian and Yang Chen came to an end, Jian Han quickly continued the assessment.

An hour later, more than forty thousand people had been eliminated. Among them, except for Yuan Long and Jia Rong, their friends were unable to comprehend the mystery of the sword totem in time and got eliminated in the end.

"Congratulations to those who passed the second stage. You have two hours to take a rest, and we will start the last stage right away." Jian Han said clearly, and the advanced participants quickly returned to their resting areas.

At this moment, Yan Yaoting stood up and said. "I'm sorry, everyone. I have something to do. I'll excuse myself first. We will meet again on the Heavenly Sword Summit."

Without waiting for the others to reply, he quickly brought Yang Chen away, disappearing from everyone's sight.

"I'll excuse myself, too." Xing Fang stood up and flew away.

"Please forgive me, Supreme Elder Jian." Du Zhen smiled and brought Du Huanfeng away.

"Please go slowly." Jian Xu nodded gently.

In the end, only the guests from the Azure Palace and the Divine Thunder Palace left.

Seeing them leave, Yun Lintian suddenly felt there should be a conspiracy behind this. Perhaps they planned to deal with him after the Heavenly Sword Summit.

"Come with me to a place." Qing Xiaoting suddenly stood up and said to Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian's brows raised slightly, and he asked. "Can I bring them along?"

Qing Xiaoting looked at Yun Qianxue and the others briefly and nodded.

Yun Lintian didn't say anything further and followed her out under everyone's curious gaze.

Jian Xu glanced at them slightly and said nothing. It was as if he knew what Qing Xiaoting's intention was.

Soon, Qing Xiaoting brought Yun Lintian to a tall mountain with its peak piercing through the clouds. This place was her residence, Heaven Piercing Peak.

A blue bamboo forest could be seen on the top of the peak, and there was a small bamboo hut in the middle. The scenery in this place couldn't be described as gorgeous, but it was highly tranquil, detaching from the outside world.

"This should be Thunder Bamboo." Shen Liqiu immediately recognized these blue-colored bamboo.

"Oh?" Yun Lintian was surprised slightly. He naturally knew how precious the Thunder Bamboo was. Its bamboo shoot could be used as an ingredient of the highest-rank pill, Thunder Soul Nourishing Pill.

"You can take some of them away." Qing Xiaoting said plainly.

Shen Liqiu's eyes lit up, and she didn't hesitate to dig a few bamboos immediately, causing Yun Lintian's face to twitch slightly… This woman is really shameless.
