Myth Beyond Heaven

Shen Liqiu's expression turned solemn as she saw Xing Renshu appear from behind. She was certain there was no one in the vicinity earlier. That was why she dared to expose her true identity.

"There's no need to be nervous. I won't do anything to you." Xing Renshu smiled faintly. His tone was leisurely, as if everything was within his palm.

"I really wonder why a dignified young miss of the Shen Clan is willing to follow a person with no background like Yun Lintian. Is it purely because of his talent?" He said further and slowly approached her.

Shen Liqiu's eyes narrowed slightly. Her aura abruptly burst forth as she rushed toward Xing Renshu and stuck out a powerful punch.

Xing Renshu shook his head slightly. "You ask for it."

The wooden fan in his hand lit up with an illusory blue light. It instantly expanded out and covered the entire area.

As he waved the fan, Shen Liqiu was immediately sent flying by an irresistible force and heavily crashed on the ground. Her complexion turned pale as she spat out a mouthful of blood.

"The Shen Clan's practitioners are good at physical strength, but their souls are too weak. Although your soul is a little stronger, it's not enough to resist my Star Locking Art." Xing Renshu laughed slightly. "Also, I'm not as stupid as Lei Jun. Fighting you head-on is probably the stupidest thing he did."

Shen Liqiu's mind spun rapidly. Xing Renshu's Star Locking Art was more powerful than she thought. Without a doubt, she wasn't his opponent at all. The only thing she could do was to escape.

It was as if he saw through her thoughts. Xing Renshu chuckled. "Thinking of the escaping talisman? Please, look around first. In my Star Locking, any instant movement is useless."

Shen Liqiu's face turned ashen upon hearing this. She didn't doubt his words in the slightest because she could feel powerful space confinement around her.

Suddenly, the golden pagoda appeared in her hand, and she didn't hesitate to activate it.

Instantaneously, the pagoda enlarged, and she quickly jumped into it. Since she couldn't escape, it was better to stay here. She didn't believe Xing Renshu could break into the pagoda.

"Oh? You actually have the Golden Pagoda with you?" Xing Renshu, of course, knew about the Golden Pagoda well. It was a divine artifact of the Shen Clan and rumored to have the ability to withstand any power.

"Let's see." As he spoke, he raised the fan in his hand and released a terrifying blue light before striking down on the pagoda.

Boom!

The pagoda shook violently, causing Shen Liqiu, who was residing inside, to be shocked. However, she heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing the pagoda was completely fine.

Xing Renshu nodded his head slightly. "It seems the rumor is not exaggerated."

"Since that's the case, I can only give up." He shook his head slightly and walked away without looking back.

Shen Liqiu couldn't believe her eyes. How could Xing Renshu give up just like that? Was it a conspiracy?

Even though Xing Renshu had disappeared from the vicinity, she didn't dare to go out. All she could do now was recuperate and wait to see the situation.

***

Crackle! Bang!

An ice shard shattered, followed by a golden monkey falling from the tree and landing heavily on the ground. Its face was pale in horror as it hurriedly said. "Please spare me!"

Standing in the distance, Yun Qianxue retracted her hand and calmly looked at the golden monkey.

The golden monkey didn't dare to be neglected. It quickly said further. "I know you are collecting a profound beast core. I have them here. Please take them and spare me."

It hurriedly threw a leather sack containing one hundred Saint Profound Beast Cores toward Yun Qianxue.

Yun Qianxue grabbed it and glanced at the contents inside before turning around and leaving.

"Phew…" The golden monkey wiped the cold sweat out of its forehead. Its heart was still lingering with fear. It had never met anyone so scary as her before.

However, before it could relax, Yun Qianxue suddenly came back and asked. "Can you find someone in this forest?"

The golden monkey's heart tensed up but soon relaxed after hearing this. It patted its chest and said loudly. "As long as you give me an item that contained the person's aura, I can find anyone here."

Yun Qianxue took Yun Lintian's robe out and handed it to the golden monkey. The latter looked at it briefly and closed its eyes, seemingly searching for something.

A moment later, it opened its eyes and said. "I know where he is. Follow me."

It quickly returned Yun Lintian's robe to Yun Qianxue and jumped onto the tree nearby before rushing toward the east direction.

Yun Qianxue didn't hesitate to follow it.

In the far distance, on the east side of the forest, Sun Tao had successfully brought down a giant lizard with his powerful swordsmanship.

He cut the lizard's abdomen open and dug a green profound core out before turning back toward a beautiful figure. "You can take this, Junior Sister Lin."

The beautiful figure, Lin Xinyao, shook her head and said. "You can take it."

Sun Tao didn't insist further and said. "The next one is yours."

In his heart, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He didn't expect his luck to be this good. He actually met Lin Xinyao right away after coming here.

He recalled the first time he saw Lin Xinyao's true face, his heart had been stolen on the spot. Since then, he had determined to capture her heart with everything.

"Hmm?" Sun Tao suddenly perceived something and turned to look in that direction. Soon, he saw a familiar figure walking out of the tree shades. This person was Du Huanfeng.

"It turns out to be Young Master Sun." Du Huanfeng greeted Sun Tao with a smile and glanced at Lin Xinyao. "Fairy Lin."

Lin Xinyao frowned slightly and said nothing.

"Young Master Du." Sun Tao returned the greeting with a nod. Technically, Du Huanfeng had greater status than him, but he didn't think he was inferior. Not to mention, his grandmother, Sun Ling, was a well-known figure. Even elders from the Myriad Pill Palace had to respect her.

"I wonder if Young Master Sun and Fairy Lin are interested in cooperating with me?" Du Huanfeng smiled and asked.
