Myth Beyond Heaven-Chapter 19 - Blockage

"We are about to reach the destination in twenty minutes." Yun Huanxin said. Her petite body sat in a coach position, controlling an ordinary carriage along the road.

It had been almost two days since they left the sect, as they were currently on the way to the Blazing Sun Mythical Realm. ??

Yun Lintian, who sat beside her, asked, "Third Aunt, how long do we need to stay in there? I forgot to ask about this."

"One month. After one month you will be teleported out of the mythical realm." Yun Huanxin replied. Yun Lintian took a note and Yun Huanxin said further, "However, there was an unusual circumstance occurred last time. Someone trying to break through to the Spirit Profound Realm within that place. Somehow, the entire mythical realm shaken and expelled everyone out before the time limit."

Yun Lintian frowned: "Is it the first time having this? There should be several people trying to do that in the past, right?" He didn't believe there were no people trying to breaking through in the mythical realm in the past. After all, the Blazing Sun Mythical Realm existed for thousands of years.

Yun Huanxin explained, "Naturally, this is not the first time people attempt to make a breakthrough in that place. But this is the first time people got expelled before reaching the time limit. Your Aunt Ruanyu once trying to figure out what happened. However, she couldn't find anything in the end… As for my opinion, I think the mythical realm is probably starting to weaken because I can feel the Space element around the mythical realm gate has reduced a lot. So I think there may be unforeseen circumstances during this time too. You have to be careful in there."

"I understand, Third Aunt." Yun Lintian noted everything down in his mind. He felt a bit worried after listening to this… I won't be lost in the space when the mythical realm suddenly went kaboom, right? Damn, did I just put a flag on my head? He was slightly paranoid because this kind of event happened often in the novels.

"As for seizing that whatever supreme treasure, your Third Aunt doesn't want you to think about it much. Just pay attention to your safety first." Yun Huanxin said earnestly. She watched him growing up day by day since the first day he arrived at the Sect. Unknowingly, she had grown too fond of him and treated him as her most important person.

Yun Lintian could see a genuine concern within her beautiful eyes which made his heart warmed.

"Don't worry, Third Aunt. I love my life. I won't die easily." Yun Lintian answered in a relaxed tone. When it came to his own safety, he was confident he could protect himself well.

Yun Lintian turned to look at a group of beautiful women within the carriage and said with a serious expression, "Senior sisters, I know some of you probably never took anyone's life before. You only need to remember one thing, if you don't kill them, they will kill you and your fellow sisters. No matter what, never showed mercy to the enemy."

The group of women expressed their understanding solemnly. It was true, some of them never killed anyone before. Since this was the first time they took part in this exploration where several forces gathered together, Yun Lintian didn't want to see any of them losing their life because they weren't ruthless enough.

These nine women were carefully selected by Yun Ruanyu. They had profound strength at the ninth level and tenth level of Essence Profound Realm, which could be regarded as the cream of the crop, considering their young age below eighteen. Although they possessed such a powerful strength compared to their peers, they were too inexperienced. Yun Lintian needed to make it clear and pointed out what they had to do.

Two hours had passed by. During this period, Yun Lintian had gone through an in-depth discussion with nine senior sisters. From Yun Huanxin's words, the entrant would be sent randomly after entering the mythical realm. It had a high chance for them to encounter an enemy right away. Yun Lintian told them to run as fast as they could and tried to regroup with fellow sisters first before doing anything further.

The carriage gradually arrived at a dense forest with a direct path to the opened area at the center. Yun Lintian looked around vigilantly as he perceived the group was being observed by someone. fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮

Yun Huanxin stopped the carriage and snorted coldly: "Since all of you have come, why are you hiding like a rat?"

"Hahaha! My apologies, Hall Master Yun. This old one just wants to tease your esteemed self a bit." Said a tall figure emerged behind the tree's shade distant away. He had an appearance as an old man in his eighties, with a long white beard and grey hair. He wore white attires with a sword symbol on his chest. In his hand was a long exquisite sword and his entire body emanating a strong sword intent. Although he gave an apology, there wasn't a bit of guilty on his face.

"Oh, you are still alive?" Yun Huanxin replied coldly. The man in front of her was Ji Yi, the Sword Profound Sect's Grand Elder.

"We haven't seen each other for several years. Hall Master Yun's mouth is still poisonous as ever. Do you want this old one to die badly?" Ji Yi chuckled, appeared to be nonchalant. His eyes swept over Yun Lintian briefly as he wondered who was this young man. The Misty Cloud Sect's disciples were famous for remaining pure and distant themselves from the opposite gender. Why did this young man appear along with them?

"Are you still hiding, Huo Shan?" Yun Huanxin ignored Ji Yi and spoke coldly in a certain direction.

"I never thought it would be you who came, Yun Huanxin." A male voice rang out, and a thin silhouette slowly appeared in everyone's sight. His face was skinny as his cheekbones could be seen clearly. His sunken eyes staring at Yun Huanxin as if he wanted to eat her alive. He wore fiery red attire with the words 'Scared Flame' on his chest. It was clear he was someone from the Scared Flame Sect.

"However, I am curious. Who is this young boy? I say, if you need a man, why don't you ask me instead? I am sure, I can make you feel better than this Little White Face.[1]" Huo Shan said with a wretched smile. He licked his lips lewdly while his eyes staring at Yun Huanxin's body.

Yun Lintian was dumbfounded. Since when did he become a Little White Face? This brother was an alpha male, alright?

"Hmph! A good dog doesn't block the path. Get the hell out of this lady's face!" Yun Huanxin snorted coldly. She ignored Huo Shan's taunt and urged the horses to go forward.

Ji Yi and Huo Shan narrowed their eyes. Strong killing intents exuded out of their bodies, as they were taking an offensive stance.

The pressure from the Heaven Profound Realm's warrior was too great. Yun Lintian and his nine senior sisters immediately felt as if they were suppressed by a colossal mountain, causing them unable to breathe.

Yun Huanxin's eyes turned cold. She waved her delicate hand slightly, and two spatial cracks appeared behind both Ji Yi and Huo Shan. Two long sword silhouettes gleaming with powerful profound energy hastily shot out from within the spatial cracks, aiming at their heads.

The expressions of Ji Yi and Huo Shan changed tremendously. They quickly conjured up a protective profound energy barrier around their bodies. However, Yun Huanxin's attack was too fast and extremely lethal. Their protective barriers couldn't even fully form in time and were shattered right away as the swords contacted them. 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

Bang!

The impact sending both Ji Yi and Huo Shan hundreds of meters away before they finally stabilized their body. Massive profound energy wildly surged out from both of them as they were going to make a counterattack. Unfortunately, Yun Huanxin didn't give them a chance. Several spatial cracks appeared around them and several energy swords immediately rushed out at Ji Yi and Huo Shan.

"Don't go too far! Yun Huanxin!" Huo Shan roared desperately as he tried his best to fend off the incoming swords.

Unlike Huo Shan, Ji Yi's eyes were calm. He gripped his sword tightly as his body overflowing with immense sword intents. The moment he swung his sword forward, countless deadly profound lights shot forward at the incoming swords and Yun Huanxin's group.

Boom!

A deafening-collision sound reverberated throughout the entire forest. The impact turning the surrounding trees into pieces and clouds of dust to fill the air. In front of Yun Huanxin, there was a grey-colored protective barrier that had completely negated Ji Yi's offensive power. Yun Lintian and nine senior sisters were safe and sound under Yun Huanxin's protection.

When the dust settled, Ji Yi and Huo Shan's figures could be seen in the distance. Their current appearance could be described as miserable — their original luxury attires had countless sieves on them and blood oozing out of their wounds.

Yun Lintian breathed in cold air. He looked at the petite figure in front of him with an awed expression. He didn't expect his Third Aunt to be this ridiculously strong. She could easily suppress the peak of Heaven Profound Realm's practitioners like Ji Yi and Huo Shan at the same time with just a wave of her hand… What kind of that Gilgamesh-esque ability?[2] It's so cool! Yun Lintian immediately fell in love with Yun Huanxin's offensive technique.

"Do you want to continue?" Yun Huanxin dispersed her protective barrier and asked sternly. Her arms were crossed in front of her flat chest, looking at her opponents calmly.

"Hehe, congratulations, Hall Master Yun. It seems your strength has increased once again." Suddenly, an aged voice resounded from the sky along with a figure slowly descended to the ground. This figure was a white hair old man clad in a luxury white-colored robe with golden embroidered. His name was Qi Hao, the Imperial Protector.

Yun Huanxin had discovered this old man a long time ago. Because of him, Yun Huanxin didn't try to finish Ji Yi and Huo Shan off. It wasn't because he had higher strength than her, but rather he could use his status to call everyone to attack her for justice reasons. She didn't want to be surrounded at this moment. At least, it should be after the Blazing Sun Mythical Realm opened.

"The Crown Prince has personally come this time?" Yun Huanxin replied nonchalantly. Since Qi Hao appeared here, the Crown Prince, Qi Yuanfeng, naturally came here too.

Qi Hao laughed slightly: "That's right. Your Highness Crown Prince is personally attending this event." He paused for a moment while looking at Yun Lintian. He asked, "May I know this young man's identity?" Similar to Ji Yi and Huo Shan, he was also curious about Yun Lintian.

Yun Huanxin answered plainly, "This is our Young Master, Yun Lintian."

Qi Hao was surprised: "Young Master? Could it be…"

Yun Huanxin nodded and proudly introduced, "Yes. He is our Sect Master's son."

As her voice fell, the expression of Qi Hao along with Ji Yi and Huo Shan, who just stood up, changed drastically.
