Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 599 An Illegitimate Lineage

The skinny man panted heavily as he ran. His profound energy was depleted, making him unable to accelerate. It won't be long before the four men can catch up with him with his current speed.

"No, I can't go on like this." He muttered to himself and scanned the surroundings, trying to find something to replenish his energy.

"Take this." At this moment, Yun Lintian's voice resounded in his mind, and the skinny man caught a glimpse of an object flying toward him. He instinctively grabbed the object and discovered it was a jade bottle.

"W-who are you? What do you want?" The skinny man looked around vigilantly. He didn't even look at the content inside the jade bottle.

Swoosh!

Yun Lintian's figure appeared two steps ahead of the skinny man and said. "Take it. It's the Energy Replenish Pill."

The skinny man took a few steps back in fright. Yun Lintian could actually appear around him without him knowing. He couldn't help but raise his guard up to the maximum.

"Who are you? Why did you help me?" The skinny man calmed down a little and remembered Yun Lintian's voice. This person must be the one who gave him the warning earlier.

"My name is Mu Chen, a busybody." Yun Lintian responded with a smile. "It's fine to be vigilant, but if I want to take your life, I don't think you can do anything about that. Take the pill and leave here first. Those people are coming in this way."

The skinny man nodded his head slightly. It was true, as Yun Lintian said, killing him in this state was as easy as killing a chicken. There was no point for Yun Lintian to deceive him.

Thinking of this, he poured a few pills out of the jade bottle and stuffed them into his mouth directly. In the next moment, a warm current immediately flowed to every corner of his body. This was the first time in his life to experience such a high-end pill.

After knowing the quality of the pill, the skinny man looked at Yun Lintian in a complicated mood. "This… I don't have anything to pay you."

Yun Lintian waved his hand and said. "Let's leave here first. Those people should already know it was you who killed that two-horned man, if I'm not mistaken. You can lead the way. "

The skinny man's complexion turned unsightly upon hearing this. He hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth. "Follow me."

Yun Lintian didn't say anything further and followed the skinny man behind.

Along the way, Yun Lintian had learned the skinny man's name was Fan. He didn't have a surname because his bloodline was inheriting an illegitimate descendant of the Crimson Ox Clan. As for Hongniu Kangyi and those four people trailing behind, they were coming from the Crimson Ox Clan.

Yun Lintian felt strange upon learning this. He could obviously see that Fan's bloodline was far stronger than Hongniu Kangyi's one. How could the bloodline of the illegitimate lineage be purer than the direct lineage?

At the same time, he had learned that the so-called Young Master in Hongniu Kangyi's words was no other than the third son of the current clan's head. His name was Hongniu Jing. He was a typical young master who often bullied Fan's lineage.

"Interesting. I think you've encountered a bloody drama plot now." Hongyue, who was listening to everything, laughed amusingly.

"Do you have too much free time recently?" Yun Lintian rolled his eyes. Hongyue must read a lot of novels during this time.

A while later, a small village appeared in Yun Lintian's line of sight. Judging by its appearance, there seemed to be around a hundred households.

"This is my village, called Autumn Leaf Village." Fan introduced. His heart began to throb unceasingly. He wasn't sure whether it was the right decision to come back here.

The two entered the village directly after greetings a few guards. Along the way, Yun Lintian discovered that people's strength here varied between Earth Profound Realm and Ruler Profound Realm. Furthermore, everyone one of them was human and also had the same strange runes as Fan.

Under Fan's guidance, they quickly arrived at a shabby wooden house at the back of the village. Fan directly opened the door and hurriedly walked in.

Yun Lintian followed behind, and a wisp of medicinal smell immediately attacked his nostrils. He gazed and saw a middle-aged man with a pale complexion lying on a wooden bed. With a glance, Yun Lintian could tell this person's vitality was decreasing rapidly, like a leaking water bucket.

"Father!" Fan quickly went to the middle-aged man's side and checked on the latter's body. His face became increasingly ugly when he discovered his father's body was deteriorating faster than before.

"You're back, son?" The middle-aged man opened his eyes and looked at his son with relief.

"Yes. I'm back." Fan nodded his head firmly. He hesitated briefly and took the pill that Yun Lintian gave him out before feeding his father. "Father, take this pill first."

Fan's father smiled faintly and didn't refuse his son's kindness. The next moment he swallowed the pill, his expression changed drastically. He looked at his son and asked solemnly. "Son, where did you get this pill?"

Fan rejoiced upon seeing his father's face become rosy. He hurriedly looked at Yun Lintian and said. "This is benefactor Mu. I got it from him."

It was at this moment did Fan's father noticed Yun Lintian. He observed Yun Lintian carefully, and a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes as he said. "Thank you for your kindness. This pill must be expensive. I have nothing to give you in return. Please receive a kowtow from this old man."

Following that, he struggled to get up but was interrupted by Yun Lintian's gentle profound energy.

Yun Lintian smiled and said. "No need to do this, Senior. I'm merely passing by and offering a little help to Brother Fan."

While Yun Lintian was speaking this, he was a bit shocked in his heart because he discovered this middle-aged man's strength was actually at the peak of the Monarch Profound Realm!
