Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 510 - Strange Uncle

Yun Lintian furrowed his brows in confusion after hearing the blue-robed man's words… Profound Beasts rampaging in the Endless Sea? Black Wing is going to war with them? Wouldn't it be better to take as many profound practitioners along with them, then? Why would he stop the tall man from joining the group? This doesn't make sense at all.

"Strange, right?" Suddenly, a middle-aged man on the table next to Yun Lintian said. He wore a plain white robe with an ordinary appearance. He poured himself a glass of wine and raised his cup toward Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian felt weird. Why did this person suddenly talk to him? He still returned with a polite gesture by raising his teacup up and drinking it all in one go. 

Wiping the trace of tea out of the corner of his mouth, Yun Lintian replied with a faint smile. "It's indeed strange."

The middle-aged man let out a burp and said. "The Black Wing group has issued huge contributing rewards. As long as you kill any profound beast during the journey, you will get a share of it." He pointed at the blue-robed man and continued. "Especially him, a member of the Black Wing group. He would have a chance to promote. Why would he want to add others?"

Yun Lintian immediately understood everything. It turned out this blue-robed man didn't want people to compete with him for the contributing rewards. 

Since everyone here was a practitioner, they naturally heard the middle-aged man's words. The gazes they gave the blue-robed man immediately changed from awestruck to disgust.

The blue-robed man's face became ashen. He looked at the middle-aged man and said furiously. "Old man, you shouldn't meddle with my business."

The middle-aged man pointed to himself with a ridiculed smile. "Me? Old man?" He turned to Yun Lintian and asked. "Brother, do you think I'm old?"

Yun Lintian's lips twitched. This man was clearly trying to drag him into the mess. He glanced at the blue-robed man and shifted to the middle-aged man before saying. "No, you are not that old, Uncle."

The middle-aged man was stunned and glared at Yun Lintian angrily. "Are you trying to anger me?"

Yun Lintian spread his arms innocently. "I'm not. I'm clearly being honest here."

"Am I an air here?" The blue-robed man was so angry to see these two bickering. He felt humiliated being ignored by them. 

As his voice fell, Yun Lintian and the middle-aged man glanced at each other and then turned to the blue-robed man before saying in unison. "Yes!"

The blue-robed man's face turned green immediately. His aura surged out like a tornado, sending several tables around him flying.

The people in the inn all moved away from him and looked at Yun Lintian and the middle-aged man with pity. Although the blue-robed man's strength wasn't high, he was, after all, a genuine Black Wing member. Who was right and wrong here didn't matter at all. As long as someone went against the Black Wing member, they would be regarded as their enemy.

The middle-aged man suddenly burst into laughter and turned to Yun Lintian. "See his power? He's proficient in the wind element. Treating him as air is really nothing wrong. Hahaha!"

Yun Lintian was speechless. Who the heck was this uncle?

"Shouldn't you take care of him first, Uncle?" Yun Lintian asked.

The middle-aged man took a gulp of wine and chuckled. "Take care of him? I will leave this duty to you then."

"Erm…" Yun Lintian was rendered speechless once again.

Seeing these two still talking and joking around in this situation, the blue-robed man felt even more humiliated. He drew his sword out and lunged forward as he bellowed. "Die!"

His body transformed into a sharp arrow, flying toward the middle-aged man and Yun Lintian. Countless wind blades were released and formed into a storm of blades surrounding the two.

The middle-aged man still had a smile on his face. He didn't even look at the blue-robed man but stared at Yun Lintian instead as if he wanted to see the latter's reaction.

Yun Lintian returned a glance at the middle-aged man and calmly sipped the tea without the intention of fighting.

The blue-robed man gnashed his teeth and pointed the sword at Yun Lintian's head. The windstorm quickly narrowed its area and ruthlessly swept toward Yun Lintian.

Seeing the middle-aged man had no intention of moving his limbs, Yun Lintian sighed helplessly and said. "Alright. You win."

Yun Lintian raised his palm up and gently pressed forward. Countless ice particles emerged in the air, and the surrounding storm immediately froze before vanishing completely, as if nothing had happened before. 

This scene surprised everyone in the inn. They could clearly see Yun Lintian had only released a tiny bit of his profound energy, yet he could actually erase all of the blue-robed man's windstorm in a split second. What kind of this monstrous talent?

The middle-aged man's eyes glowed as he looked at Yun Lintian with admiration. Others might not understand how Yun Lintian defeated the opponent, but he could. Yun Lintian's control of the water element was far exceeded everyone he had ever seen so far. This kind of control level should not exist in an eighteen-year-old young man… What kind of background this young man has?

The blue-robed man was stupefied upon seeing this. His body halted on the spot and looked at Yun Lintian in terror. He knew that he was kicking an iron plate this time.

Yun Lintian smiled faintly and said. "Don't be angry, Brother. This uncle is already old and somewhat goes senile. You don't have to take offended."

The middle-aged man became angry and wanted to scold Yun Lintian, but he suddenly saw the latter smile strangely. He immediately felt something was amiss and forgot to say a word all of a sudden.

Yun Lintian looked at the people in the hall and said. "In order to apologize for spoiling everyone's moods, this uncle told me he will take care of all the expenses today.. Everyone can eat and drink to your heart's content."
