"You are…?" Yun Lintian looked at the old man in doubt. He clearly didn't feel any connection like he used to feel for the other relics. The only thing he could feel from him was a familiar aura and nothing else.
"Is this your attitude when you face your master?" The old man said calmly, but there was a hint of anger in his voice.
Yun Lintian's expression changed slightly. "You are Beyond Heaven King?"
The old man didn't reply, but the aura he exuded was growing intense. The windstorm Qingqing created was instantly dispersed.
Inside the Land of Beyond Heaven, Hongyue's eyes narrowed with a dangerous glint. However, she didn't say anything and calmly watched it.
"Kneel." The old man said calmly, and the terrifying pressure pressed down upon Yun Lintian and the others, forcing their knees to bend.
No matter how Qingqing tried to release her power, all the windstorms she created instantly disappeared as soon as they emerged.
Plop!
Yun Lintian, Nantian Fengyu, Linlin, and Qingqing were directly pressed onto the ground.
"Crackle!" Yun Lintian struggled to raise his head to look at the old man while the sound of teeth being shattered emerged from his mouth. His eyes turned cold and blood could be seen flowing out of his mouth.
Immediately, a powerful divine consciousness swept over his body, making Yun Lintian feel like he was being stripped naked.
"It seems you have almost collected all of the relics. Not bad… Not bad at all." The old man said with a tinge of excitement.
"Come. Summon all the relics for me to see." His voice was like a heavenly edict, causing Yun Lintian and the others to shudder.
Yun Lintian stubbornly looked at the old man, and when he was about to say something, the pressure became stronger all of a sudden.
"Do you know why I left my inheritances behind?" The old man asked.
Without waiting for Yun Lintian to answer, he said further. "Naturally, it's to revive me."
Yun Lintian was stunned upon hearing this.
"What? Do you think I will give you inheritances for nothing in return?" The old man chuckled. "How naïve you are."
"Come on. Brings them out."
As his voice fell, Nantian Fengyu, Linlin, and Qingqing cried out in pain. They felt as though a giant sledgehammer had ruthlessly smashed into their bodies and souls.
Seeing this scene, Yun Lintian struggled to release his power, but he discovered that he was unable to circulate his profound energy.
"Still stubborn, huh?" The old man said. "It seems you won't shed your tears until seeing the coffin…."
Buzz—
All of a sudden, a terrifying profound light shot out of his finger, rushing toward Nantian Fengyu's head. Once it hit, she would die without a doubt.
"Hongyue!" Yun Lintian roared in his mind and summoned the Gate of Beyond Heaven.
In that instant, Hongyue's illusory figure rushed out of the gate, followed by a scary red light.
BOOM!
The two terrifying lights crashed midair, producing a huge explosion. The impact sent Yun Lintian and the others flying into the distance.
The old man's movement froze as he stared at the petite girl in red in shock. "Y-Yue Hongyue!… How could you…?"
A trace of panic could be heard in his voice. Obviously, he was afraid of her.
Hongyue looked at the illusory old man on the throne with an evil smile. "Heh! And here I thought who has pretended to be him."
She paused for a second and said coldly. "It seems you have forgotten the lesson I taught you last time, Mo Ke!"
The surrounding temperature dropped sharply and the entire space was filled with murderous intent.
Hearing this, Yun Lintian completely forgot to get up from the ground and looked at the old man in astonishment. Although he had guessed that this person shouldn't be the Beyond Heaven King, he believed this person had something related to him. It didn't seem to be the case now.
The old man, Mo Ke, went silent for a moment and slowly got up from the throne. The panic in his heart dissipated completely as he got a clear look of Hongyue. "I thought you had already fallen in that battle. It seems you are lucky enough."
"However, Don't try to scare me, Yue Hongyue. You're nothing but a mere residual soul like me. Do you think you can fight me here?"
As his voice fell, a black mist gradually emerged from within his body and exuded an oppressive force that was not inferior to Hongyue, causing Yun Lintian and the others to suffocate.
Hongyue curled her lips. "With just you? I can hit you with one palm back then, and I will do the same this time."
Suddenly, she casually stuck out her right palm, and time seemed to slow down. A nearly invisible red flower of light abruptly went forward to meet Mo Ke's black mist.
Ding!
The instant the red light collided with the black mist, which filled the entire space, everything seemed to have suddenly become fixed in place.
In the next second, the black mist that seemed to be frozen suddenly shook and scattered away, revealing Mo Ke's true appearance.
Instead of the old man's features that he showed earlier, his current appearance was a handsome young man in black. His sharp eyes violently trembled as he stared at Hongyue in shock.
"You…"
Bang!
Before Mo Ke could say anything further, a straight red line was etched clearly in the air before him, followed by a frigid explosion, sending him flying into the wall at the end of the hall.
"Pfft!" An extremely painful moan escaped Mo Ke's lips as he stared at the petite girl in disbelief.
Woosh!
A windstorm whistled as Hongyue appeared before him, and pinched his neck between her snow-white fingers.
A sarcastic smile appeared on her lips as she stared into his eyes. "Do you believe it now?"
Mo Ke wriggled hard to get rid of her grasp, but it was futile in the end. He was destined to be captured by her…
