Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 532 - Change The Route



"Brother Mu doesn't need to make a decision right now. You can think about it carefully. We have plenty of time here before we reach the Western Continent… Come, drink some more." Du Huanfeng said generously and refilled the cup for Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian bottomed up the cup and said. "Then I'll consider about it… By the way, Young Master Du. I heard that your Myriad Pill Palace is known as the number one in terms of medical profound art. Can I ask Young Master Du for guidance?"

Du Huanfeng waved his hand and said. "What young master? Just call me Brother Du… Of course, you can ask me anything."

"Brother Du." Yun Lintian said politely. "I wonder if there is any way to prolong someone's lifespan?"

Du Huanfeng's brows raised slightly. "Hmm? Why did Brother Mu ask this?"

"It's like this. My master has been suffering a severe injury, and her lifespan is gradually decreasing day by day. I came out this time not because I want to gain experience, but rather find a way to help her." Yun Lintian replied. "I heard from Brother Su there are some treasures on the Western Continent that could increase one's lifespan. That's why I want to go there."

A thought flashed across Du Huanfeng's mind. He seemed to remember Mu Qiuxue was injured by him before slipping away. Perhaps this was the case.

He smiled and said. "You asked the right person, Brother Mu. Coincidently, I am heading to the Western Continent with the same goal. How about we team up together? When we found that thing, I'll personally concoct the Heavenly Vitality Pill for Snow Maiden Mu."

A look of delight appeared on Yun Lintian's face as he hurriedly said. "Thank you, Brother Du. I am fortunate to meet you."

Du Huanfeng laughed heartily, and the two continued to chat for an hour before Yun Lintian excused himself and returned to his room.

Watching Yun Lintian leaving, Du Huanfeng put away the smile and asked the old man behind him. "What do you think of him?"

The old man, Du San, stroked his beard and said. "I can't see any flaw from his action. However, his story is too strange. We all knew that Mu Qiuxue had fled to the Western Continent and never heard about her again."

"So you are saying there's a possibility he isn't her disciple?" Du Huanfeng said calmly.

Du San shook his head. "It's difficult to confirm this. We have to observe him more. One thing that I am certain of, Lei Feifei should have checked his background before, and she seems to know something. Otherwise, she won't recruit him in this easily."

Du Huanfeng opened his fan and waved it slowly, falling into deep thought.

"Big Brother Yun?" After returning to the room, Linlin couldn't help asking. She was puzzled by Yun Lintian's action.

"Are you curious why big brother does this?" Yun Lintian said with a smile. Seeing Linlin nodding her head, he said further. "We don't know much about the Western Continent. When we reach there, we have to gather a lot of information, and that will take a long time to locate Tree of Life's whereabouts. Since Du Huanfeng's goal is to find the Tree of Life, we can use this chance to follow him. We can take him as a free bodyguard."

Linlin tilted her head slightly and asked. "But we've lied to him. Wouldn't it be dangerous to stay with him?"

Yun Lintian shook his head. "It's certainly dangerous but compared to the unknown danger waiting for us on the Western Continent. Du Huanfeng isn't a threat at all. Moreover, he has nowhere to confirm my identity. Looking at his performance earlier, big brother can see that he's still having Snow Maiden Mu in his mind and won't give up easily. So, we are safe until he could see Snow Maiden Mu with his own eyes."

Linlin's eyes flashed with splendor. She was deeply admiring Yun Lintian's mind.

"Right, how much you could improve with that Abyssal Crest thing?" Yun Lintian asked curiously.

Linlin thought for a moment and said. "It should help me break through to the middle-level of Ruler Profound Realm."

"Really?" Yun Lintian was surprised. He sighed regretfully that the situation earlier did not allow him to make a move. Otherwise, he would undoubtedly try to snatch the Abyssal Crest from Yin Shang.

Knock! Knock!

"I'm sorry to disturb your rest, Elder Mu. Leader sent me to inform you that we are going to visit the Black Jade Island first." Xiao Lian's voice rang out from the outside.

"Black Jade Island?" Yun Lintian went to open the door and asked in confusion. He had no idea where this Black Jade Island was.

Xiao Lian observed Yun Lintian briefly and replied. "The Black Jade Island Master is our leader's friend. It will take around two days to reach there."

"I see. Anything else?" Yun Lintian nodded.

Xiao Lian hesitated slightly and asked. "Leader also let me ask Elder Mu this…."

Before she could finish her sentence, Yun Lintian interrupted first. "She wants to know what happened between Young Master Du and me?" Seeing Xiao Lian nodding her head, he continued. "Don't worry. There's nothing between us."

"I see. Then, I'll leave first." Xiao Lian saw that Yun Lintian didn't seem to lie. She quickly excused herself and walked away.

Yun Lintian looked around the hallway briefly before closing the door. The moment his door was closed, a shadowy figure appeared at the end of the hallway and stared at Yun Lintian's room for a moment before disappearing into thin air.

Yun Lintian sat on the bed and calmly pondered about his next move. Right now, he was like deceiving two sides at the same time. If any of them discovered he was lying to them, he had to leave them right away.

Naturally, Yun Lintian didn't concern much about how to escape from them. He could just flee into the Land of Beyond Heaven at any time. What he was concerned about was how to continue his journey.

"It would be good to have a Profound Sky Ship myself." Yun Lintian laid down on the bed and muttered to himself.. Looked like he had to find a way to get the Floating Metal in the near future.
