Myth Beyond Heaven

Yan Moliang took a deep breath and said further. “Think about it. Third Ancestor had the chance to leave this world to seek a higher path, but he ultimately chose to stay here. Have you ever thought why?”

“It’s because he is unwilling to see his roots, this Blazing Sun Palace, crumble!”

He pointed his finger at all the elders who were dissatisfied with Yan Yaoting and said coldly. “And all of you!… All of you don’t do anything all day long but keep instigating infighting. Some of you even try to weaken our strength by selling secrets and treasures for personal gains.”

“Ask yourself! Are you worthy of our ancestors who exchanged their lives to maintain the Blazing Sun Palace and make all of you what you are today?”

Yan Moliang’s words were like thunderclaps that struck everyone’s mind. All the elders that hesitated earlier immediately lowered their heads in shame.

One of the elders who hesitated earlier slowly got up and said. “I am deeply sorry for making trouble to the Palace Master all this time. I know it sounds unbelievable to say this, but I am going to fight with the enemy to the end.”

“Me too!”

“Please forgive us, Palace Master. We will use our lives to atone for our sins.”

All the elders no longer hesitated, even though they knew that their Third Ancestor might be unable to turn the tide around. However, Yan Moliang’s words reminded them who they were.

They were the descendants of the mighty Blazing Sun Palace! Without their roots, they wouldn’t be anything, even if they could survive by escaping.

Yan Yaoting looked at them for a while and calmly said. “I forgive all of you.”

All the elders involuntarily raised their heads to look at Yan Yaoting in disbelief. Many of them had committed unforgivable crimes against Yan Yaoting in the past years. They didn’t expect Yan Yaoting to forgive them just like that.

“You don’t have to look at me like that.” Yan Yaoting said calmly. “First of all, the current situation is urgent. I don’t know which one of you could survive in the end. So, forgiving you is one thing that I can give you.”

“Secondly, even though I have suffered a lot during these years, I bear no grudges against all of you.” He paused briefly and said further. “Do you really think I couldn’t do anything to you?”

The elders on the opposite side of Yan Yaoting immediately realized this point. That was right. With Yan Yaoting’s means, he could easily kill all of them, and no one would complain about it… Why would he let them live until now?

“And lastly,” Yan Yaoting said while looking at the sky outside. “I can die, but the Blazing Sun Palace has to live further. Even if I died in your hands one day, I could be sure the next Palace Master would still have the surname Yan.”

Everyone in the room trembled upon hearing this. Their eyes were filled with shame and admiration when they looked at Yan Yaoting.

They were ashamed because of their petty thoughts in the past and admired Yan Yaoting’s magnanimity.

Such a person fully deserved to be their Palace Master!

Thud!

One after another, all the elders fell on one knee and said in unison. “Please let us fight to the end with you!”

Yan Yaoting looked at them and said calmly. “Get up.”

Swoosh!

Just as Yan Yaoting was about to say something further, a burst of scarlet flame appeared, revealing a white-haired old man who exuded a majestic aura.

When everyone saw this old man, they immediately trembled and hurriedly shouted. “We pay respect to Third Ancestor!”

The old man, Yan Yingjun, glanced at them and said. “It’s good that you know how to repent.”

He turned to Yan Yaoting and said. “You did a good job in the past decades. I can see a bright future for the Blazing Sun Palace in you… What a pity. We have to face this dreadful situation first.”

Yan Yaoting bowed and said solemnly. “Junior is useless and has to disturb Third Ancestor’s rest.”

Yan Yingjun waved his hand. “No need to say anything further. When I decided to stay here, I had already predicted this situation. This is my duty.”

A cold glint flashed across his cloudy eyes as he perceived something. “Let’s go. Let’s welcome our visitors.”

As he spoke, his figure vanished from the place and appeared above the Blazing Sun Divine City.

Yan Yaoting and the others had also followed along. ．𝗻𝐞𝘁

When they looked in the far distance, they could see countless devils fly over like a group of huge black clouds.

“Hmm?” Hui Wen suddenly noticed Yan Yingjun’s aura and immediately chuckled. “Although it’s just a bigger ant, it’s better than nothing.”

He could see that Yan Yingjun’s realm was only at the third level of the Divine Foundation Realm. Hui Wen could easily slap the latter to death in one stroke with his strength.

However, he didn’t intend to do so. He must enjoy it first!

Arriving several meters from the divine city, Hui Wen pointed his finger at Yan Yingjun and taunted him. “Old man. Come here and obediently let me play with you.”

The faces of the elders behind Yan Yingjun turned livid immediately.

Even though he was facing the peak expert, Yan Yingjun wasn’t afraid in the slightest. He looked at Yan Yaoting and said. “I’ll leave the rest to you.”

Yan Yaoting nodded heavily and watched Yan Yingjun fly toward Hui Wen.

Hui Wen curled his lips and said mockingly. “Not bad. I thought that you would hide like a turtle. At least you have a ball.”

He waved his finger and said arrogantly. “Come. Let me see what you got.”

Yan Yingjun didn’t say anything. His aura suddenly burst out, and his entire being abruptly covered with scarlet flames, making him look like a fire god.

At the same time, over two thousand clusters of scarlet flames started to burn, radiating an oppressive might, which made it hard for all the devils below to breathe.

A look of surprise emerged in Hui Wen’s eyes when he saw this scene. “So… This is the so-called Blazing Sun Divine Art?”

“Heh… Interesting.”

As Hui Wen’s voice fell, the entire space was immediately filled with darkness, making the scarlet flame clusters look like pitiful candlelights…
