Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 871 Little Naughty Girl (1)

Boom!

A huge commotion immediately startled everyone in Tang Suyin's courtyard. They looked at the sky and saw a pillar of golden lightning beaming down, followed by a deafening rumble.

Shen Liqiu recovered from the initial shock and hurriedly said. "It's Yun Lintian! He might encounter that Hei Lei."

Xiao Weiyuan was as shocked as Shen Liqiu. The oppressive power from the golden beam earlier caused his entire body to shake all over. He would die under such an attack without a doubt.

"We have to find him." Shen Liqiu said and stood up, preparing to leave.

"I'll go with you, Miss." Xiao Weiyuan had also stood up.

Tang Suyin glanced in the city's center direction and said. "Make sure to enter the trial."

Shen Liqiu nodded heavily. "Understood, Senior. We will come back later."

Xiao Weiyuan cupped his fists and quickly followed Shen Liqiu out.

Watching the two left, Tang Suyin turned to Little Qing and said softly. "If he succeeded, perhaps you could see your father again."

Little Qing lowered her head and said nothing.

Somewhere in the north, Hei Lei struggled to escape from Yun Lintian and found a place to hide. His whole body was drenched in blood. Several hideous wounds could be seen all over the place. For him to be alive until now could be described as a miracle.

He stuffed a handful of healing pills into his mouth and chewed it angrily. His eyes were full of deep hatred as he said. "Yun Lintian! This hatred. I will return it to you soon!"

He took a few deep breaths to calm down and began to heal his wounds. Abyssal Energy gradually enveloped him, transforming him into a black sphere. His injuries gradually recovered at a visible rate.

Half an hour later, Hei Lei recovered more than fifteen percent of his original strength. If he wanted to fully recover, he would need a month or two. Obviously, he didn't have such a luxury time. He had to move now before Yun Lintian could find him.

Hei Lei carefully scanned the surroundings with his Spiritual Sense and was relieved as he didn't find any trace of Yun Lintian around here. Without thinking further, he looked at the north and quickly moved.

Hei Lei traversed for another half an hour and suddenly saw a majestic divine palace in the distance. An ancient aura could be felt in this place. Undoubtedly, this place should be the Skymist Emperor's residence.

Hei Lei became ecstatic upon seeing this. He cautiously looked around the place for a while before walking forward.

Standing in front of a majestic gate, Hei Lei could feel an ancient aura sweep past him as though he had been checking out.

Creak!

In the next moment, the gate slowly opened, and Hei Lei quickly checked the inside through his Spiritual Sense. A trace of disappointment appeared on his face as he discovered the palace was completely empty. Although this place was constructed from valuable materials, he didn't care about these useless things.

Nevertheless, Hei Lei still walked into the palace. The interior was spacious, could easily contain tens of thousands of people with no problem. At the center of the hall, an ancient-looking throne could be seen standing imposingly. It exuded an oppressive aura yet was attractive at the same time.

Hei Lei looked around again, and he couldn't find anything special except for the throne. He didn't think about it further and walked up to it.

As soon as Hei Lei arrived before the throne, a bright light suddenly lit up, transforming into an illusory gate behind the throne.

Hei Lei's eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips. He knew this gate would certainly lead to the secret of this place.

He didn't hesitate to step forward, and his figure gradually disappeared into the illusory gate.

***

While Hei Lei entered the palace, Yun Lintian was busy searching for The Storm. He followed the faint connection in his heart for an hour, but he discovered that The Storm was actually moving away from him, as though it was playing hide and seek with him. This gave Yun Lintian a headache.

"Hehe!"

Just as Yun Lintian was helpless, he suddenly heard a giggle coming from behind. It sounded like a giggle from a happy little girl.

Yun Lintian quickly turned around and saw a small figure hiding behind the shade of a building in the distance. This figure was a seven or eight-year-old-looking girl with long hair to her waist that was bright green. She wore a green robe that seemed to be made of the finest silk.

She had a face that seemed like it was carved from jade. Within its perfection, there was an immaturity that belonged to a child. A cute, exquisite nose that pointed upward slightly and watery tender lips. Below her green eyelashes were a pair of star-like eyes that made anyone fond of her upon looking into it.

"Ah!" The petite girl exclaimed cutely and hurriedly slipped away when she saw Yun Lintian looking toward her. A happy giggle could be heard along the gentle breeze as she ran away.

"That… The Storm?" Yun Lintian was stunned.

"It is." Hongyue's voice resounded. "Judging from her look, her age should be lesser than five hundred years old. She's indeed a little brat."

"Five hundred years old is considered a child?" Yun Lintian was speechless.

"The age of spirit is different from us. Five hundred years old is similar to our five years old." Hongyue replied casually. "Hurry up and catch her."

Yun Lintian took a deep breath and looked in the little girl's disappearing direction before executing the Shadow Step to follow her.

Yun Lintian checked the connection in his heart from time to time and discovered the little girl's location kept changing from left to right, as though she could teleport. Even though his speed was fast, it was unrealistic to catch her.

"It seems there's the only way." As he spoke, Yun Lintian's pupils changed into beast-like ones resembling Linlin's eyes. His long-black hair gradually turned white, exactly the same as Linlin's fur.

With golden lightning sparks underneath his feet, Yun Lintian's speed increased twice as before. His figure flashed from place to place, drawing increasingly closer to the little girl.
