Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 242 - The Cruel Lin Canghai

"The new merchant caravan had arrived two hours ago. Our people have already traced them and discovered they placed the victims in a private manor nearby the red light streets." Yun Meilan reported.

Yun Lintian furrowed his brows in confusion. "Isn't this too obvious? Aren't they too confident?" He was puzzled, as he didn't expect this criminal group would be brazenly open like this. They didn't afraid people might discover their evil deeds at all?

Yun Meilan handed a piece of paper to Yun Lintian. When Yun Lintian read the content, he immediately understood. "So the red light streets actually belong to the Peng clan. Although I had already expected this, it still impressed me."

Before this, the Cloud Shadow team had heavily investigated the group behind the red light streets. The information they got was a bit useless as the owners of various brothels didn't seem to belong to the same group. 

Later, one of the Cloud Shadow members who worked as a chef in the brothel coincidentally heard the conversation between the brothel boss and Peng Xiaowang. It turned out all the brothel businesses in the red light streets were supported by the Peng clan.

"What about the Lin clan?" Yun Lintian asked while burning the paper.

Yun Meilan shook her head. "We haven't found any clue so far. After the last time we saw them, there wasn't any movement from them again. It's like they have nothing to do with this incident."

"It's impossible for them to not know anything about this." Yun Lintian tapped on the table while pondering. The Lin clan's movement had suddenly reduced a lot since Lin Wuwei dead. Perhaps Lin Canghai had noticed something and tried to restrain it.

"Tell our people to be more cautious during this period. Especially when it comes to the Lin clan. In my opinion, they are more dangerous than the Peng clan." Yun Lintian remembered the impression Lin Canghai left with him. The aura he gave off at that time made Yun Lintian realize this person's mind was extremely deep. Not to mention his enormous profound strength that even Han Bingling had to be cautious facing him.

Yun Meilan nodded and made a complicated hand seal, sending a command to other members. This was one of the secret art, Shadowless Link. It allowed everyone who practiced the Shadow God Scripture to freely contact each other without leaving a trace.

"What about the Extreme Ice Terrain?" Yun Lintian asked with a serious expression. He couldn't stop worrying about Yun Qianxue since she left. He didn't forget to tell Cloud Shadow to gather the information related to the Extreme Ice Terrain.

Yun Meilan went silent for a while before saying. "As far as we know now, that place is a training ground of Frozen Moon Palace's disciples. The profound beasts over there are ranging from Origin to Saint with two monarchs jointly controlling."

Yun Lintian's hands subconsciously clenched into fists upon hearing this. He was powerless and could only hope Han Bingling's people did not let him down. Although he felt uncomfortable by placing Yun Qianxue's safety on others' hands, he had no choice as he could not leave this place until he got The Moon.

Yun Meilan saw Yun Lintian's reaction but did not intend to comfort him. She had been with Yun Qianxue since they were young, she fully believed Yun Qianxue's decision could not be wronged. Since she chose to leave and go to that place, it meant she had thoroughly thought about it. And when it came to survival, Yun Qianxue wasn't inferior to anyone. Hence, Yun Meilan didn't concern much about her.

Yun Lintian was different. He had never seen the brilliant Snow Cloud Fairy in the battle before, as he always stayed in the Misty Cloud Peak all the entire time. He always thought according to Yun Qianxue's strength on the paper. That was why he couldn't put his heart at ease, no matter what.

A while later, Yun Lintian let out a long breath and put all of these messy thoughts aside. His eyes turned back to a small book on the table. This book contained a record of all major rumors in the divine city from the past to the present.

Yun Lintian opened the book and skipped to the final page with the word 'Lin Zixuan' on it. A month ago, Yun Lintian was curious about the Moonlight Hall Master and let the Cloud Shadow team investigate it. It turned out the Moonlight Hall Master was Lin Zixuan, a member of the Lin clan. More precisely, a former member of the Lin clan.

Lin Zixuan was the eldest daughter of Lin Canghai. She reigned the title number one beauty of Profound Sky Divine City in the past, and her talent could be described as going against the sky. Although she was a bit slower than Jian Yingyue as Lin Zixuan reached the Saint Profound Realm at the age of twenty-six, she hadn't stuck at the peak of the Saint Profound Realm like the former. She spent only ten years to reach the Monarch Profound Realm and another seven years to reach the peak. This progress speed was terrifying to the point Yun Lintian suspected she had a kind of cheat device like him.

43 years old peak Monarch, this record was probably ranked first in the entire Azure World. However, as Yun Lintian continued to read, a frown appeared on his face when he saw the current information about Lin Zixuan. The rumors said she had done something unforgivable and was crippled by Lin Canghai. Not only did she lose all of her brilliance, but her eyes were also blinded. It could be seen how cruel Lin Canghai was.

"This old man… scary." Yun Lintian muttered. Though he understood the Azure World adopted the law of the jungle and family ties were nothing but a useless sentiment, he still found it uncomfortable to see a father destroy his daughter like this.

Yun Lintian closed the book and turned to Yun Meilan. "I'll consolidate my realm during this month. You can take care of everything. If it is possible, I will find a chance to bring Ruanyu here."

Yun Meilan nodded gently and vanished from the room.
