Myth Beyond Heaven

Wu Qingcheng’s brows tightly knitted together as a look of hesitation appeared on her face. It was fine to stop doing business with the Long Clan and the Heavenly Sword Palace, but telling her to stop interacting with Yun Lintian was unacceptable.

“Think about it carefully. Did you do anything to help him?” Wu Liwei could see through his daughter’s mind.

“Nothing, isn’t it? In fact, he doesn’t need your help at all. We don’t lose anything in this deal.” He said further. “And what did I teach you before? Do not put all eggs in one basket, right? Even if we make a deal with the Azure Palace, it doesn’t mean we have to cut all ties with him.”

“One of them is destined to fail. Whoever comes up on top at the end, we will get all the benefits.”

“Despicable.” Wu Qingcheng said in dissatisfaction.

“Despicable?” Wu Liwei chuckled. “In front of benefits, everything will be justified. Have you forgotten this already?”

“Moreover, you really don’t want to see your mother?”

Wu Qingcheng’s eyelashes trembled slightly when she heard this. The frown between her brows gradually loosened.

She raised her head to look at Weilan Xuan and said. “There must be a guarantee. Just a word is not enough.”

Weilan Xuan put the teacup down and opened her palm. Suddenly, an azure-colored jade appeared on it.

“This is the imprint of the tunnel.” She said calmly.

Wu Qingcheng looked at the seemingly ordinary jade and took it over. She put it away after checking it briefly and said. “Deal.” 𝒃𝒆𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎

Weilan Xuan nodded and prepared to leave.

However, Wu Qingcheng suddenly said further. “We can stop doing business with the Long Clan, the Heavenly Sword Palace, and my junior brother. However, we will also stop doing business with the four of you as well.”

Weilan Xuan frowned slightly.

Seeing her expression, Wu Qingcheng shrugged. “You can’t blame me for this, right?”

Weilan Xuan took a deep look at Wu Qingcheng and said calmly. “Fine.”

As she said, she turned around and left under Wu Qingcheng’s playful gaze.

Swoosh!

Wu Liwei suddenly appeared in the room and looked at his daughter meaningfully. “As expected from my daughter. You’re smart enough.”

“Heh.” Wu Qingcheng sneered. She played with the jade and asked. “Do you want it?”

Wu Liwei laughed and asked. “What do you want? Let me speak first. I won’t help your junior brother or his people.”

“Lend me Little Xia.” Wu Qingcheng said while channeling her profound energy, ready to crush the jade at any moment.

Wu Liwei looked at his daughter with a faint smile. “You know that I can snatch it away, right?”

“Of course. But you don’t dare.” Wu Qingcheng curled her lips.

The father and daughter stared at each other for a while, and Wu Liwei suddenly burst into laughter.

“Hahaha! Alright, alright. I give up.” Wu Liwei said. “But you have to tell me your purpose first. Don’t forget that you have already made a deal with Weilan Xuan earlier….”

“I know, I know. A businessman shouldn’t go back on your words.” Wu Qingcheng interrupted with an annoyed look. “Don’t worry. I won’t break the deal… I need her to collect some interest for me.”

Wu Liwei took a deep look at his daughter and said. “Little Xia.”

Swoosh!

A twelve-year-old-looking girl, Little Xia, silently appeared in the room and bowed respectfully toward Wu Liwei.

“Did you hear it?” Wu Liwei asked.

“Yes, Master.” Little Xia replied.

Wu Liwei turned to Wu Qingcheng and asked. “Satisfied?”

Wu Qingcheng flickered her wrist slightly, sending the jade to her father, and turned to look at Little Xia. “Follow me to a place.”

Afterward, she walked out of the room without looking back.

“Protect her well.” Wu Liwei said calmly while watching his daughter disappear from his sight.

“Yes, Master.” Little Xia nodded and quickly followed Wu Qingcheng.

Wu Liwei looked at the azure jade in his hand and muttered to himself. “Jinghua, are you alright up there?”

“Phew…” Floating in the Soul Lake, Yun Lintian opened his eyes and let out a long breath. The injury in his soul had now completely healed, and he was ready to go out again.

On the side, Nantian Fengyu had also opened her eyes. Her injury was much lighter than Yun Lintian’s, and she had long recovered. However, Soul Lake benefited her greatly, which was why she often came here to practice.

During this period, Nantian Fengyu’s understanding of this place greatly deepened. She had figured out why Yun Lintian possessed so many resources as if they were unlimited.

Moreover, the Wood Spirit people here were extraordinary beings. Although they were a little weaker compared to ordinary practitioners, their strength lay in their soul power. They could also cultivate magical plants to the highest level.

She looked at Yun Lintian and asked. “Are we going out soon?”

Yun Lintian nodded. “We have to be more careful this time. If anything happens, we will enter this place immediately.”

“Mhm!” Nantian Fengyu nodded in agreement.

After calling Linlin and Qingqing over, Yun Lintian and Nantian Fengyu directly left the Land of Beyond Heaven.

However, when they appeared in the dark passage, they immediately discovered that the position had changed again. This time, they stood in front of two paths.

“This aura… Divine Phoenix’s aura!” Nantian Fengyu suddenly said while looking at the right passage.

Yun Lintian had also felt it. However, he didn’t rush to move but asked Linlin and Qingqing first. “Do you feel anything?”

“Except for the Divine Phoenix’s aura. I feel nothing else.” Linlin replied.

Meanwhile, Qingqing tilted her head to look at the left passage and said. “There’s a terrifying monster in that direction.”

“Terrifying monster?” Yun Lintian was taken aback.

Qingqing nodded. “It’s ten times stronger than the previous Shadow Monster.”

Hearing this, Yun Lintian didn’t even look at the left passage. He immediately brought everyone into the right passage after carefully checking with the Eyes of Heaven.

Compared to the previous experience, this time, Yun Lintian and Nantian Fengyu could deal with the incoming Shadow Monsters on the way with ease.

The two traveled along the passage for a while and finally arrived at an open space that emitted a scorching aura…
