Myth Beyond Heaven-Chapter 2704: Challenge (1)

Bai Ying's eyes narrowed, her expression hardening. "How many?"

"A small group," Yun Lintian replied. "Their leader is at the God Ascension Realm."

"They must have noticed you a long time ago," Yun Lintian said, his voice calm but firm, addressing Bai Zi and the others. "You cannot stay here any longer."

Bai Zi's face paled, his eyes filled with anxiety. "What should we do?" he asked, his voice trembling.

"We should move," Yun Lintian replied, his gaze shifting towards Bai Ying. "And perhaps leave this realm entirely."

Bai Ying frowned deeply. She knew that Yun Lintian's suggestion was not merely a precaution, but a necessity. The Profound Mystery Sect's reach was vast, and their pursuit would be relentless.

"We will leave," Bai Ying declared, her voice resolute. "We will find a safe haven, far from their grasp."

"Good," Yun Lintian said, nodding in approval. "Take everyone out of town first. I will deal with the enemy here."

Bai Ying hesitated for a moment, her gaze filled with concern. "Be careful."

Yun Lintian smiled, a faint, reassuring smile. "I will. Go."

With a nod, Bai Ying turned to Bai Zi and the others. "Let's go."

As Bai Ying and the descendants of the Bai Clan slipped out of the courtyard and into the bustling streets, Yun Lintian remained behind. He closed his eyes, his senses stretching out, locating the small group of Profound Mystery Sect cultivators.

He moved with swiftness, his figure blurring as he traversed the town's alleyways. He found them, a group of five cultivators, their leader exuding an aura of cold arrogance.

"Who are you?" the leader demanded, his voice laced with suspicion, his eyes narrowing as he took in Yun Lintian's presence. "Why do you meddle in the affairs of the Profound Mystery Sect?"

Yun Lintian's expression remained calm, his gaze unwavering. "I have a question for you," he said, his voice low and steady. "Where can I find the Profound Mystery God?"

The cultivators' faces flushed with anger, their eyes burning with a mixture of disbelief and fury.

"You dare speak of the god in such a manner?" the leader roared, his voice filled with a chilling intent. "You will pay for your insolence!"

Swoosh!

With a wave of their hands, the cultivators unleashed their attacks, their energies surging towards Yun Lintian. They were confident in their strength, in their numbers.

Yun Lintian simply waved his hand. An invisible force swept through the cultivators, their bodies disintegrating into dust, their energies dissipating into nothingness.

The leader, his eyes wide with shock, stood frozen in place. He had witnessed the demise of his comrades, yet he couldn't comprehend what had just transpired.

"You…" he stammered, his voice trembling, "you… who are you?"

Yun Lintian's gaze remained fixed on the leader, his expression calm and indifferent. "Tell me," he said, his voice low and steady, "where can I find the Profound Mystery God?"

The leader, his mind reeling, his body trembling, could only stare at Yun Lintian in fear. He knew that he was in the presence of a being far beyond his comprehension.

The leader, despite his terror, attempted a desperate, surprise attack. He channeled his remaining energy, launching a surge of power towards Yun Lintian. However, Yun Lintian remained unperturbed. With a casual gesture, he neutralized the attack, his hand reaching out to grasp the leader's head.

A faint glow emanated from Yun Lintian's hand as he delved into the leader's memories. He sifted through the fragmented images and emotions, searching for any information regarding the Profound Mystery God.

After a moment, Yun Lintian sighed, his expression tinged with disappointment. "Nothing useful," he muttered. "Just the location of their sect."

He released the leader's head, the cultivator's body turning into nothingness. Yun Lintian turned and left the town, his gaze fixed on the horizon.

He found Bai Ying and Bai Zi outside the town. Bai Ying looked at Yun Lintian, her eyes filled with worry.

"Are you alright?" she asked.

"I'm fine," Yun Lintian replied, his voice calm. "I have a matter to attend to. If you wish to deal with the Profound Mystery Sect, you can come with me."

Bai Ying hesitated briefly and said. "I will come, but I must ensure Bai Zi and the others are safe first."

Yun Lintian nodded, his gaze shifting towards Bai Zi and the group. He raised his hand, and a shimmering gate materialized before them. It was the Gate of Beyond Heaven, its surface swirling with celestial energies.

Bai Ying's eyes widened, her expression filled with shock and awe. She had never seen such a magnificent artifact.

"This…" she stammered, her voice trembling.

"This will take them to a safe place," Yun Lintian said, his voice calm and reassuring. "They will be protected."

Without further explanation, he gestured towards the gate. Bai Zi, though confused, trusted Yun Lintian. He led the others through the gate, their figures vanishing into the swirling energies.

Bai Ying stared at the gate, her mind filled with questions. But Yun Lintian offered no further explanation.

"Let's go," he said, his voice firm.

He turned and headed back towards Profound Sky City, his figure blurring as he moved with incredible speed, followed by Bai Ying.

Inside the grand hall of the Profound Mystery Sect, Grand Elder Yu Zheng sat upon his ornate throne, his brow furrowed in deep thought. The atmosphere was heavy, a sense of unease permeating the air.

A messenger had just delivered a report, detailing the sudden loss of contact with a group of cultivators dispatched to a town not far from Sunlight City. The group, led by a God Ascension Realm expert, had vanished without a trace.

Yu Zheng frowned, his gaze shifting towards the map displayed on the wall. The town in question was located along the route to Sunlight City, the city where the Meng Clan had recently reported a disturbance.

"This is not a mere coincidence," Yu Zheng muttered, his voice low and grave. He began to connect the dots, piecing together the fragmented information.

The Meng Clan's report spoke of a man named Yun Lintian, a mysterious figure who had appeared amidst the chaos in Sunlight City. According to their assessment, Yun Lintian possessed power at the peak of the God Ascension Realm.

"This Yun Lintian must be far stronger than we anticipated," Yu Zheng mused, his eyes narrowing. "And he dares to openly oppose our sect."

He stood up, his figure radiating an aura of authority. "Who sent him?" he pondered, his mind racing through the possibilities. "Which enemy seeks to challenge our dominance?"
