Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1718 True Enemy

Zhang Yu’s face turned pale upon hearing Gui Shen’s words. Even if she had to die, she would never acknowledge Yun Lintian as her master.

“This is an order.” Gui Shen said mercilessly.

“Please kill me.” Zhang Yu said sadly. “I only have one master whether in this life or next life.”

Gui Shen took a deep look at her but remained silent.

At this moment, Gui Xuan finished eating and walked towards the pond to play. However, he suddenly noticed Zhang Yu and tilted his head curiously to look at her.

Zhang Yu seemed to notice something and turned to look at the tiny turtle. Her eyes widened in shock. “This…”

“He is the next generation. Gui Xuan.” Gui Shen spoke. “He will be under Yun Lintian’s care from now on.”

Zhang Yu regained her composure and strongly refused. “No, you can’t do this, Master. Young Master Xuan must not follow him.”

Gui Shen ignored her and pointed his finger at the tiny turtle. Immediately, the runes on Gui Xuan’s shell lit up, resonating with the runes on Yun Lintian’s skin.

Zhang Yu was shocked and found it difficult to accept. Obviously, the lives of Yun Lintian and Gui Xuan were now intertwined. They would never separate until the last day of their lives.

“How could you do this to him, Master? Don’t you know what kind of dangers await him?” Zhang Yu shouted angrily.

Master Bai glanced at Gui Shen and said. “I told you to spend your time teaching her. This is the result of your negligence.”

Gui Shen didn’t deny it. It was indeed his fault for failing to teach Zhang Yu. While this woman was loyal, she was stubborn to the bone and always prioritized Gui Shen’s interests without considering anything else.

While Zhang Yu was angry, Gui Xuan approached her and climbed onto her lap. He tilted his head slightly as if he were trying to comfort her.

Zhang Yu was startled by his actions. She calmed down and asked. “Do you want me to follow you, Young Master Xuan?”

Gui Xuan nodded slightly and jumped into the lotus pond from her lap.

Zhang Yu stared at Gui Xuan in a daze. Her face was filled with hesitation as she didn’t know what to do in this situation. Gui Xuan would definitely stay with Yun Lintian. No matter how much she hated Yun Lintian, Zhang Yu had to stay with her young master.

This gave her a headache.

Gui Shen wasn’t in a hurry. He calmly waited for Zhang Yu’s decision.

A moment later, Zhang Yu raised her head and spoke with unwavering determination. “I understand, Master. I will do my best to protect Young Master Xuan.”

“Open your Soul Gate.” Gui Shen said expressionlessly.

Zhang Yu bit her lip and reluctantly opened her Soul Gate.

Gui Shen pointed his finger at her, and a strange rune shot towards her, imprinting it in her soul. Yun Lintian would be her master from now on.

Zhang Yu took a deep breath to calm down and said. “Master, I have something to tell you. Shan Mujin has obtained a piece of your shell. Unfortunately, I couldn’t kill him.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Gui Shen said calmly. “He will not be able to escape when the time comes.”

Zhang Yu furrowed her brow and glanced at Yun Lintian, who was fully immersed in refining the blood origin.

Although she spent most of her time in the Death Sea Realm, she still kept an eye on the situation in the Divine Realm from time to time. The emergence of Yun Lintian caused a commotion in the Divine Realm. There were many activities going on behind the scenes in the past decade.

Yun Lintian probably had no idea that there were people who had put so much effort into keeping him alive in secret. Sometimes, she felt that it was a waste of effort.

Master Bai turned to Lan Qinghe and asked. “I have wanted to ask you this question for a while now. Since you seem to know something about Yun Lintian, I believe you should know about the true enemy… Who is it?”

In the past millenniums, Master Bai had been racking his brain to comprehend the meaning behind the Beyond Heaven King’s actions.

At first, he thought the Beyond Heaven King had done all this to protect the Divine Realm. However, Master Bai always felt that there was something bigger behind this.

Gui Shen and Zhang Yu also looked at Lan Qinghe, waiting for her explanation.

“The true enemy?” Lan Qinghe said gently. “All of you are destined to become fodder in this war. There’s no need for you to know it.”

Master Bai frowned and asked. “Is it the Primordial God Tribe? I think that their leader should be at least a true god.”

“Them?” Lan Qinghe shook her head. “They are merely a group of pawns.”

Master Bai, Gui Shen, and Zhang Yu were shocked. They had witnessed the immense power of the Primordial God Tribe, yet it was merely a pawn? Just how powerful was the true enemy?

Master Bai glanced at Yun Lintian and said. “Then he…”

He suddenly felt bad for Yun Lintian. He was aware of Yun Lintian’s ultimate goal—to live in peace with the people around him… It seemed to be difficult to achieve now.

Lan Qinghe looked at Yun Lintian and spoke softly. “It is his duty as a fate bearer. He will never be able to escape his destiny… not even death can stop it.”

Master Bai and Gui Shen exchanged glances in astonishment… What kind of fate was that? Not even his death could stop it.

“I have spoken too much.” Lan Qinghe suddenly said. She waved her hand, and Master Bai and Zhang Yu suddenly trembled.

A moment later, Master Bai and Zhang Yu frowned deeply. They felt as if a part of their bodies was missing.

Gui Shen witnessed the scene and understood everything. Lan Qinghe had erased their memories of the previous conversation.

“What did we talk about earlier?” Master Bai looked at Lan Qinghe suspiciously.

Lan Qinghe savored the pastry in silence.

Master Bai was annoyed and wanted to say something. Suddenly, the surrounding aura surged towards Yun Lintian like a storm.

At this moment, the ancient runes on Yun Lintian’s body shone brightly, and his body absorbed the surrounding aura in a frenzy.

“Strange. It shouldn’t be this fast.” Lan Qinghe put down the fork in her hand and stared at Yun Lintian curiously.
