Myth Beyond Heaven

Facing He Bai's question, the woman waved her hand. "No, no, brother. I'm not laughing at you. It's just that I don't think using the word thin and tender to describe this Brother Yun is correct."

"Oh, why is that?" He Bai and the others were confused. No matter how they looked at Yun Lintian, he was only at the Origin Profound Realm and didn't seem to possess any extraordinary talent.

When Yun Lintian arrived at Evergreen Town, he used the Shadow Concealing technique to disguise his realm at the peak of the Origin Profound Realm. That was why everyone here thought Yun Lintian was the weakest here.

Yun Lintian looked at the seemingly ordinary woman beside him with a thoughtful expression. During this period, he could perceive her gaze from time to time. It was as though she kept looking at him to find out something.

The woman glanced at Yun Lintian and said. "Because he's the strongest person among everyone here."

"What?" He Bai and the others were dumbfounded. He hurriedly asked. "Are you sure, Miss?"

As he spoke, He Bai looked at Yun Lintian attentively, as if he wanted to see through him.

The woman curled her lips. Her sparkling eyes stared straight into Yun Lintian's eyes and said. "I'm curious. Why is the peak of the Ruler Profound Realm expert like you have to conceal yourself like this? Are you running from the enemy or something?"

Everyone in the carriage was shocked upon hearing this. Although they were skeptical, they didn't think there was a reason for the woman to lie.

Interesting. She could actually see through the Primordial Rank concealing technique… Yun Lintian was surprised inwardly. The Shadow Concealing technique was a part of the Shadow God Scripture. Even though he was still at the second layer, it was more than enough to conceal himself from the peak Monarchs. Who was she?

Yun Lintian smiled faintly and said. "Miss, revealing others' secrets is not good, don't you know?"

He paused for a moment and continued. "Besides, I'm not the strongest here. We're clearly in the same realm. Why are you being modest?"

He Bai and the others went numb upon hearing this. They fully believed it now. Especially He Bai. He wanted to slap himself for making a joke on Yun Lintian earlier.

"Erm… Senior Yun, I'm sorry." He Bai said nervously.

Seeing this, Yun Lintian couldn't help laughing. "You can call me Little Brother Yun like before. I'm not used to being called senior."

"Ugh…Okay." He Bai heaved a sigh of relief.

Yun Lintian looked at the woman and asked. "May I know your name, Miss? It seems the technique you're practicing is not ordinary at all."

The woman blinked a few times and replied. "My name is Shen Liqiu. Speaking of the profound technique, I'm afraid yours is several times higher grade than mine." She pursed her lips. "I don't think your background is anything ordinary. Are you perhaps the nine palaces' disciple?"

As the words "Nine palaces' disciple" came out, everyone in the carriage subconsciously held their breath. For loose practitioners like them, the nine palaces were like behemoths they could never reach in this lifetime. If Yun Lintian was truly one, they would like to befriend him even though they could possibly offend him by doing that.

To everyone's expectation, Yun Lintian shook his head. "I'm not. I have nothing to do with the nine palaces."

"Huuu…" He Bai and the others let out a long breath. They were both disappointed and relieved at the same time.

"How about you, Miss Shen? To be able to reach such a high realm at a young age, your background is definitely extraordinary." Yun Lintian counter-asked.

Shen Liqiu laughed elegantly. "I am just an ordinary merchant's daughter. Where's an extraordinary background?"

Obviously, no one believed her.

"Hehe. This world is indeed full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons." Fu Teng's voice resounded from the front. He had been listening to the conversation inside the carriage all this time.

He had to admit that Yun Lintian and Shen Liqiu's profound strength amazed him. He didn't expect to pick up two powerful practitioners on this trip. This was also a good thing. At least he didn't have to worry about encountering strong bandits on the road.

"Don't call me Miss. Just call me Sister Shen directly. I'm two years older than you." Shen Liqiu changed the topic. "How about traveling together? You're alone, and so I am."

Yun Lintian was curious about her identity and her goal. Hence, he didn't reject her. "Sure."

He Bai and the others were surprised to hear this. They hesitated briefly and chose to remain silent in the end. What qualification did they have to join the two?

Just as everyone changed the topic, Fu Teng's brows tightened as he perceived the powerful aura coming from the flanks.

"Everyone, look like we've encountered trouble." Fu Teng spoke while slowing down the horses.

Yun Lintian, Shen Liqiu, and the others glanced at each other and took their weapons out, preparing for a battle.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, several black figures appeared around the carriage, causing Fu Teng to pull the horses and stop on the spot.

"Who are you? I am Fu Teng, the head of Evergreen Transport Group. I advise you to leave as soon as possible." Fu Teng said coldly while staring at the twenty-odd black-robed men. Judging from their auras, their profound strength was no less than the Heaven Profound Realm. Such a lineup was rare to be seen on this route.

"We naturally know you. However, we have something to do with one of your passengers. As long as you leave her here, we won't do anything to you and the other passengers." A tall man who was the group leader said.

Fu Teng's face sank. "The passenger's safety is my responsibility. It's impossible to do as you said. Leave now."

"Hmph! Don't think that we won't dare to do anything to you." The tall man snorted coldly and released his aura at the same time as the rest of his group.

Immense pressure instantly enveloped the carriage, causing He Bai and the others to suffocate.

Yun Lintian didn't solve the pressure immediately. He looked at Shen Liqiu and said meaningfully. "Their target is you, right, Sister Shen?"

Although Shen Liqiu wore the veil, Yun Lintian could see she was smiling at the moment. "Why do you think it was me?"
