Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1003 A Bird In The Cage

In a luxury courtyard, a handsome young man stood in a garden full of bird cages around him. His complexion was calm and composed, and his eyes were without any emotion, giving off a feeling there was nothing he cared about in this world.

"Young Master." An old man slowly walked over and bowed his head respectfully.

"Let me guess. My younger brother failed?" The young man said while taking a golden parrot out of the nearby cage.

"Yes. He has now returned under Palace Master's order." The old man said calmly.

"So, he wants to use me again?" The young man stroke the golden parrot's head gently while asking.

The old man lowered his head and said nothing.

The young man asked further. "Tell me about it."

The old man nodded and quickly explained. "The target is a young man named Yun Lintian. This person's talent can be described in one word—heaven-defying. Not only has he possessed the legendary Tree of Life, but he has also obtained the Heavenly Sword recently."

The young man's expression remained calm as he said. "Go on."

The old man said further. "According to the investigations, he has a fellow apprentice relationship with the Jiang Clan's Jiang Yingyue, the Endless Dream Dancing Hall's Murong Xue, the Long Clan's Long Feiyan, the Mystic Pavilion's Wu Qingcheng, and the Divine Phoenix Palace's true inheritor, Nantian Fengyu. They all have the same master, the Light Goddess, Lin Zixuan."

"However, they have been separating after the Poison Valley attacked the Northern Continent. Lin Zixuan's whereabouts are unknown, but it's easy to guess. She must be in the Azure Ancient City right now."

"Light Goddess Lin Zixuan?" The young man muttered to himself. "What's the Azure Palace's reaction?"

"Up to now, there's no movement." The old man answered.

"What about the target?" The young man asked.

"His disguise technique is too strong. We are unable to find his trace, but then again, it's not difficult to guess. From the information, he's a sentimental person and has had conflicts with the Wang Clan. I don't think he will stand by and watch his senior sister jump into a fire pit without doing anything." The old man expressed his thoughts.

The young man went silent for a long while and said. "Prepare a few things for me."

"Yes, Young Master." The old man was relieved to hear this. At least his young master didn't refuse to take on this task.

He turned around and left after receiving the young man's instructions.

After the old man left, the young man put the golden parrot back in the cage, and his aura abruptly changed. All the birds that were chirping happily earlier had now shivered in terror and stuck their bodies into the cages, trying to stay away from the young man.

Especially the golden parrot. It was closest to the young man. At this moment, it struggled to escape through the tiny gap between the cage without caring about anything.

The young man glanced at it and revealed a smile. It was a creepy smile that made anyone's heart chill.

"No one can escape my palm, do you know that?" He said while placing his hand on the cage.

The next moment, the golden parrot's movement froze and exploded into pieces.

"The only way that you can leave is I am allowing you." The young man said in a low voice, as though he was talking to himself.

This person was Xing Renshu's older brother, Xing Chen!

In a relatively remote forest several kilometers from the Azure Ancient City, Lin Zixuan sat on a bamboo chair while looking at a small letter in her hand.

A smile appeared on her peerless countenance after she finished reading the letter's contents.

"As expected of you." She said softly.

This morning, a woman who claimed to be Yun Lintian's people approached her and handed the letter to her.

The contents stated that the Northern Continent's predicament was basically solved, and the entire continent was now in a rebuilding process. However, Han Bingling lost her profound strength along the way.

What surprised her the most was the one who managed to pull the Heavenly Sword out was actually her youngest disciple, Yun Lintian. As his master, she was proud of him, even though she hadn't taught him anything.

Master, I know you won't listen to me, but please trust me. I have a way to save Sister Yingyue. Just sit back and enjoy your tea. There's no need for you to risk your life. — Your most handsome disciple, Yun Lintian.

Reading this part, Lin Zixuan shook her head slightly with a smile.

She carefully put the letter away and got up, looking toward the Azure Ancient City while muttering. "As a master, how can I sit back and do nothing for my disciple?… Besides, there's something you don't understand."

A cold light flashed through her eyes before her figure disappeared from the place.

"Young Miss…" A sixteen-year-old girl looked at Jiang Yingyue, who sat in the pavilion lonely, sadly. She was Jiang Yingyue's little main, Xiao Ya.

Jiang Yingyue turned to look at her and said with a smile. "Why are you sad?"

Xiao Ya bit her lips and said. "I don't understand why Patriarch do this to you. You deserved better, Young Miss."

Jiang Yingyue merely smiled and said nothing.

Xiao Ya hesitated for a moment and said, while gritting her teeth. "Let's escape, Young Miss. I will attract their attention."

Looking at her little maid's trembling appearance, Jiang Yingyue laughed slightly and said. "Silly girl. There's no need to risk your life for me… And do you really think we can escape?"

Xiao Ya clenched her fists and said resolutely. "Since that's the case, please bring me to the Wang Clan with you, Young Miss. Although I am weak, I won't let anyone bully you."

Jiang Yingyue was touched. She stretched out to pull Xiao Ya closer and said softly. "Thank you for your goodwill, but I don't want to implicate you. This is my fate, and I should bear it alone."

"Young Miss…" Xiao Ya choked in tears and plunged into Jiang Yingyue's arms.

Since Jiang Yingyue left the clan last time, she had been looking forward to her return. However, she didn't expect everything to be like this. If she could choose, she didn't want her young miss coming back anymore.

Jiang Yingyue patted Xiao Ya's back gently and looked at the moon. No one knew what she was thinking at the moment.
