Myth Beyond Heaven

Peng Lie's facial expression changed and hurriedly to conjure a profound defense. Because Nantian Fengyu's attack was so abrupt, Peng Lie's profound defense collapsed almost instantly before it could completely form.

A terrifyingly scorching heat quickly approached Peng Lie and started to penetrate every pore on his body, causing his skin to dry in almost an instant.

At this moment, Peng Lie roared furiously, and red profound energy quickly revolved around his body. He clenched his fist tightly and punched out at the incoming fiery Phoenix figure.

Boom!

As a huge explosion shook the air, red profound energy and phoenix's fire simultaneously soared hundreds of meters into the air. The impact caused many onlookers to fly away, and several buildings nearby were damaged instantly. The ground that was built by a high-grade material had now turned into a pool of molten.

When the dust settled, Peng Lie's figure could be seen not too far away from his original position. His current appearance was so miserable as his robe was almost burned entirely — only a tiny piece of his trouser was left behind. His hair was messy, and a part of it was black as charcoal. 

"Divine Phoenix bloodline. You are the descendant of the Nantian clan." Peng Lie uttered in difficulty as he stared grimacingly at Nantian Fengyu.

"Hmph! Who gives you the gut to bully my junior brother?" Nantian Fengyu snorted coldly as she stood in front of Yun Lintian with her arms crossed before her chest.

Yun Lintian stared at his childish fifth sister blankly. Several questions kept popping up in his mind… Divine Phoenix bloodline? Nantian clan? Don't tell me she comes from the Divine Phoenix Palace? No wonder Linlin didn't show any hostility toward her.

Peng Lie took a deep breath, trying to recover his strength. Although his realm was stronger than Nantian Fengyu, it was hard to tell who would come out on top at the end of the two were crashing for real. After all, the Divine Beast bloodline could not be underestimated in the slightest.

"I come here to check on him under the patriarch's command. We suspect him to be the one behind all the earlier incidents. You must give us an explanation." Peng Lie said while channeling a portion of profound energy, preparing to retreat at any time.

Yun Lintian was surprised inwardly. He didn't expect the Peng clan to have such a good nose. He frowned slightly and said. "Explanation? What explanation do you want? I have no idea at all. Old man, since you're saying I am a suspect. May I ask where the evidence is? You can't slander me like this just because you are a monarch, right? Heh, I never thought the Peng clan would be so unreasonable… Who knows how many people have been wronged by you guys in the past."

The onlookers nodded their heads in agreement and talked in a low voice while pointing at Peng Lie.

Peng Lie's expression turned gloomy, but he didn't say anything. He kept glaring at Yun Lintian as if he wanted to eat him alive.

"What are you glaring at? You better go back and tell your master don't mess around with my junior brother. Otherwise…Hmph! Hmph!" Nantian Fengyu shook her wrist slightly, and a small Phoenix shape fire immediately appeared around her, preparing to attack Peng Lie at any moment.

Peng Lie knew he was out of play now. It was better to retreat and let his patriarch take care of this himself. He snorted coldly and left the scene at lightning speed.

The onlookers realized the show had come to an end. They quickly dispersed right away afterward.

Seeing Peng Lie go away, Yun Lintian walked to Nantian Fengyu's side and said. "Thank you, fifth sister. If you didn't appear, your junior brother would be gone by now."

Nantian Fengyu put the Phoenix fire away and turned to Yun Lintian with a serious face. Suddenly, she heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest. Cold sweat could be seen on her forehead as she said. "Thankfully, he didn't dare to make a move further. Otherwise, your fifth sister would definitely get beaten by him."

The corner of Yun Lintian's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at his cheap fifth sister. So she was a paper tiger? 

"Fifth sister, are you coming from the Southern Continent's Divine Phoenix Palace?" Yun Lintian asked curiously. He didn't understand why did she had come here. Wouldn't it be better to stay in the Divine Phoenix Palace?

Nantian Fengyu's expression turned solemn as she replied. "I ran away from my home because my mother often interrupted my sleep."

Yun Lintian was rendered speechless. You've crossed the Endless Sea and came here just because of this reason?

He knew there might be another reason, and Nantian Fengyu didn't want to tell him. So Yun Lintian didn't insist on this topic further. "Let's get inside first."

Nantian Fengyu's eyes lit up. "Good junior brother! Are you going to treat your fifth sister a sumptuous meal again?" 

Yun Lintian sighed inwardly as he nodded his head. "Yes. I'll let my aunt make a good dish for you."

"Hooray!" Nantian Fengyu jumped happily and skipped into the restaurant.

Yun Lintian exchanged a glance with Yun Meilan, and the latter seemed to understand his intention. She nodded and walked into the restaurant before contacting the Cloud Shadow members.

Yun Lintian let Yun Lingwei make a few dishes and went to accompany his fifth sister.

"Idiot! I told you to check on him in a secret. Why did you attack him?" In the Peng manor, Peng Huang yelled angrily at Peng Lie, who stood with his head low on the side.

"He's a mere Origin Profound Realm. I thought I could use force to subdue him directly." Peng Lie explained in a low voice.

"A mere Origin Profound Realm? Have you ever seen any Origin Profound practitioner that could easily fight a saint? If he was so easily subdued by force alone, would I still need to go through all of this? Please, use your stupid brain for f*cking once.." Peng Huang was so furious to the point he started panting. "What crime did I commit in my previous life to have so many idiots born in my clan?"
