Myth Beyond Heaven

"Big Brother Yun, that looks delicious. Can I get it?" Linlin, who was now disguised as a small fire rat, pointed her tiny paw at a meat skewer stall nearby while licking her lips.

Yun Lintian glanced at the stall and saw the meat was actually the Heaven Profound Beast's meat. He smiled faintly and said. "Of course, you can eat anything you want."

As he finished speaking, he walked to the stall and asked an uncle stall's owner, who seemed to be an iron pig beast in human form. "Uncle gives me twenty."

The uncle was surprised and quickly greeted with enthusiasm. "Right away." He skillfully flipped twenty skewers a few times before putting them into a small dish.

"Here, that will be two hundred middle-grade Profound Stones." The uncle handed the dish to Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian was taken aback by the price. Naturally, he had no problem with it. He was just surprised by how expensive it was.

After paying, he asked. "Uncle, this is my first time here. Is everything here this expensive?"

The uncle looked at Yun Lintian from head to toe and replied. "Yes. My skewer is the cheapest here on this street. If you don't believe me, you can ask anyone around here."

"Alright. Thank you." Yun Lintian replied with a smile and left the stall.

"They are clearly robbing people. It's not like this back then." Huoyun Zhu said with a frown.

"It's understandable. They have complete control now with us retreating." Huoyun Yurou didn't feel anything strange about this.

In the past, all the nine clans jointly managed the Nine Profound City, and the living expenses here weren't this expensive. With the withdrawal of the Fire Cloud Rat Clan and the other four clans, the Sky Qilin Clan and their allies could do anything they wanted. Whether increasing the taxes or monopolizing the businesses, everything was in their control.

Huoyun Zhu didn't say anything further, as she was well aware of this point in her heart. She merely expressed her dissatisfaction.

Although Yun Lintian had never been here before, it wasn't difficult to understand the situation here. He gently fed Linlin while asking. "Senior, shall we find a place to rest first? Money is not a problem."

Huoyun Yurou didn't have an objection, but she was quite concerned. "Every inn here should be in their hands. There may be a problem if we want to find one. After all, they should notice my arrival now."

Yun Lintian thought for a moment and said with a smile. "Then we don't have to worry about the accommodation. Someone will arrange it for us."

As soon as his voice fell, frowns immediately appeared on Huoyun Yurou and Huoyun Zhu's faces as they perceived something.

"Hahaha. How long it has been since I see someone from the Fire Cloud Rat Clan?" A burst of wild laughter suddenly echoed at the end of the street, and a middle-aged man in a luxury purple robe walked toward Yun Lintian's group, followed by five people.

A cold glint flashed through Huoyun Yurou's eyes as she stared at the newcomer. "Zi Jinghu…."

"Zi Jinghu?" Yun Lintian looked at the middle-aged man carefully. This man didn't even bother to hide his aura, which meant he was absolutely confident.

Yun Lintian was puzzled slightly because this middle-aged man was only at the peak of the Monarch Profound Realm. As for the five people behind him, they were roughly the same as him. Where did his confidence come from?

"This person is the current patriarch of the Purple-Winged Tiger Clan. His name is Zi Jinghu. Back then, our Matriarch had killed his favorite son because he tried to harm Little Miss Lingling. This is also why his clan keeps harassing us." Huoyun Zhu quickly explained through a sound transmission.

"I see." Yun Lintian immediately understood.

As Zi Jinghu approached, the crowd automatically avoided to the side and waited to see the show.

Zi Jinghu stopped ten steps away from Yun Lintian's group and looked at Huoyun Yurou for a moment. A deep hatred could not be concealed in the depth of his eyes, but he was rational enough to stay calm.

He shifted his gaze to Huoyun Zhu and then to Yun Lintian. A look of surprise appeared on his face as he didn't remember there was such a youngster in the Fire Cloud Rat Clan.

Suddenly, he thought of the news he got not long ago about the young human boy. However, no matter how he looked, this young man before him obviously possessed the Fire Cloud Rat's bloodline. It was impossible for him to be a human.

As for disguise? Zi Jinghu didn't believe there was such a powerful technique in this world that could even disguise a bloodline.

"It turns out to be the old Matriarch Huoyun. I thought you'd died a long time ago." Zi Jinghu spoke rudely, without fear.

Huoyun Zhu frowned slightly, but she didn't do or say anything and waited for Huoyun Yurou's command.

Hearing this, Huoyun Yurou smiled faintly. "Counting this year, it should be the hundredth anniversary of your son's death now… Ah, time surely flies."

Yun Lintian secretly gave a thumb up to her. He didn't expect Huoyun Yurou to be this spicy.

Zi Jinghu immediately flushed with anger. His hands involuntarily clenched with the strong urge to make a move. However, he managed to control himself in the end.

He took a deep breath and looked at Yun Lintian before saying coldly. "This should be your descendant, right? I hope he can last until the end."

Huoyun Yurou's expression didn't change in the slightest as she responded. "If I remember correctly, you still have another son. Well, I advise you to make a new one as soon as possible."

Zi Jinghu gnashed his teeth furiously. He snorted coldly. "Hmph! We shall see." He suddenly waved his hand, and a square object shot at Yun Lintian at lightning speed.

Zi Jinghu thought that Huoyun Yurou would make a move to protect Yun Lintian, but he was surprised to see her standing motionless, without the intention of moving.

Thud!

Yun Lintian calmly reached his hand out and grabbed the square object effortlessly. This action made Zi Jinghu's pupils shrank in shock. One had to know that he had injected more than thirty percent of his power into it. How could a mere first level of the Ruler Profound youngster catch it without harm?
