Chapter 49: Life and Death

"I can confirm that." Yang Mengli stepped forward and said.

Her words attracted everyone's attention, and she said further, "I've been there as well. After I taking a step into the desert area, I fell into a quicksand and found myself in a maze-like tunnel."

Qi Yuanfeng and the rest immediately frowned. They rummaged through their memories, and they were sure there wasn't any record related to this. How did these juniors encounter something that their ancestors haven't seen before?

Ignoring the angry Luo Kang, Qi Yuanfeng was interested in this discovery. He asked, "What is that place look like?"

Yang Mengli answered, "There is nothing in that place except for a tunnel after tunnel. Not even a single creature can be found. I've been wandering in that place for several days until the white light appeared, brought me back here."

Qi Yuanfeng turned to others and saw everyone seemed to have the same experience. He decided to put this matter aside and said, "I see." He then turned to Yun Lintian. "What about you, Young Master Yun? Did you also enter that place too?"

Yun Lintian smiled faintly. "Of course. I've been there too. What does Your Highness want to ask? Please feel free to speak directly."

Qi Yuanfeng wore an amiable smile and waved his hand. "It's nothing. I'm just curious why did Young Master Yun's cloth is so clean comparing to everyone who were also entered that place."

As Qi Yuanfeng's words fell, everyone swept at Yun Lintian's body and found it was the case. Yun Lintian's current appearance was too clean to the point there wasn't even a speck of dust on him. Even he said he changed his cloth before coming out. It was too coincident unless he knew beforehand that the mythical realm was going to send him out.

In fact, Yun Lintian wanted this effect. He deliberately changed into a clean cloth in order to make everyone focus on him so that no one would pay attention to Yang Chen and Hua Litong's group further.

Yun Lintian was unperturbed when facing their Spiritual Sense. He replied with faint laughter, "So it's about this. I thought Your Highness would ask whether I am the one who kills Young Master Luo. Otherwise, I would've no choice but to admit it honestly."

Yun Lintian's words immediately startled everyone… What do you mean? Do you mean if he asked you that question, you would confess that you are the murder?

Yang Gouming's brows tightened together. He didn't understand Yun Lintian's intention. Even if he was the one who killed Luo Kun, he shouldn't admit readily like this, right?

"No matter what happened next. Don't interfere if you don't want to implicate everyone in your clan." Suddenly, Yang Gouming heard Yun Huanxin's voice rang in his mind, causing his pupils to shrink slightly. He looked at her blankly for a moment before he nodded his head, expressed his understanding.

At the same time, Yun Lintian's words caused Qi Yuanfeng to frown deeply. From what he knew, Yun Lintian wasn't a stupid person, but he didn't understand why he admitted it just like that? Was there any plan behind this? Thinking of this, Qi Yuanfeng sent a sound transmission to an elder nearby him, and the latter silently slipped away from the group.

"So it's you! I'll kill you!" Luo Kang released all of his power instantly. He wielded the golden spear in his hand, stabbing toward Yun Lintian with immense power.

Yun Huanxin manipulated the Space element to block Luo Kang's attack and sent out several sword beams back at him.

Yun Lintian stood calmly under Yun Huanxin's protection. A smile on his face didn't disappear in the slightest as he said, "It's not just him. Ji Cheng, Huo Ao, Qi Tian'er and those from Chen clan are also died in my hands."

Everyone from the respective clans immediately gasped in shock before they released their aura, along with killing intents toward Yun Lintian.

"Everyone, capture him!" Qi Yuanfeng was the one who ordered. He wanted to see what tricks did Yun Lintian hide from him.

Yun Lintian glanced at Qi Yuanfeng briefly and said in a low voice, "Now."

Instantaneously, Yun Li and the rest shattered their escape talismans, and a white light quickly enveloped them before their figures had disappeared in the next second.

This scene immediately turned the expressions of Luo Kang and others unsightly. Especially Luo Kang and Huo Shan. They had spent tremendous effort to lay a spatial disruption formation around this place in order to stop them from using an escape talisman. However, they didn't expect the talismans in Yun Li's hands would still work.

Yang Gouming had an astonished look on his face and let out a sigh of relief inwardly. He glanced at his son and found he was amazed by the scene as well, causing Yang Gouming to puzzle. It seemed Yang Chen didn't know about this beforehand as well, but Yun Lintian certainly instructed him about something. Otherwise, Yang Chen wouldn't be so calm after Yun Lintian was under attack.

Yun Lintian hadn't left yet. He looked at Luo Kang with an evil grin. "Don't be angry, Patriarch Luo. I have a gift for you to express my apologies."

Following, he threw Luo Kun's lifeless head at Luo Kang, and the latter quickly received it. When Luo Kang saw his son's head and a look of horror on Luo Kun's face before he died, his body was trembling in anger, and a boundless killing intent instantly manifested.

"Ahhh! I'll kill you!" Luo Kang's voice was full of hatred, reverberated throughout the forest as a golden dragon's image appeared around his spear.

"What a noisy!" Yun Lintian blocked his ears, appearing annoyed by Luo Kang. He then looked at Qi Yuanfeng and waved his hand at him. "See you later, Your Highness." With that, he shattered the escape talisman and disappeared from the spot.

Several small spatial rifts appeared beside Yun Huanxin, shooting sword's lights at Luo Kang, and the rest before her figure was also disappeared along with the spatial rifts.

"Damn it!" Huo Shan yelled angrily when he found the target had already gone. He quickly took a transmission jade out and contacted Huo Han. A moment later, he found something was amiss, as there was no response from Huo Han, no matter how many times he tried.

It wasn't just him alone. Ji Yi was also the same. He found the situation was too strange after failing to Ji Muchen. Ji Yi and Huo Shan involuntarily looked at each other and saw the confusion on each other's faces. Without further ado, they hastily departed from the place.

Yang Gouming and Patriarch Hua glanced at each other and decided to leave this place together, leaving the angry Luo Kang and Chen clan's people behind.

Qi Yuanfeng turned to Qi Hao and said, "Let's go. Maybe we can catch him."

***

Two hundred kilometers away from the mythical realm entrance, Yun Lintian's figure appeared nearby a small cave.

"Junior Brother Yun!" Yun Li heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing him. She was so anxious earlier.

Yun Lintian nodded his head. "Let's go in, Sister Li. We need to hurry."

The two walked into the cave to meet up with Yun Chan and the rest, who were already waiting for them. On the left side of the cave, there was a small transmission formation laid on the ground.

Yun Lintian inserted a middle-grade Profound stone into a socket, and the formation immediately lit up. Just as he was about to tell everyone to go in, he suddenly received a signal from a warning formation he set up two hundred meters away from this place.

"Get in!" Yun Lintian urged anxiously. Yun Jiajia hastily brought Yun Chan and Yun Ting into the transmission formation along with other sisters.

Yun Li noticed the change in his expression, but before she could ask, Yun Lintian had already pushed her into the formation, and she immediately disappeared from the place.

Yun Lintian dismantled the formation within ten seconds before he rushed out of the cave, heading in the opposite direction of the incoming enemy. If he left the formation behind, the enemy could directly reach the Misty Cloud Sect. He scolded himself for being careless. If he had set up a self-detonation formation within the transmission formation beforehand, he didn't have to be desperate like this.

"Where are you going!?" A male voice rang out behind Yun Lintian, but he didn't turn to look as he channeled every ounce of his profound energy into his legs, fleeing with all his might.

Following Yun Lintian were two middle-aged men from Qi royal clan. Before this, Qi Yuanfeng had instructed several people to look out for Yun Lintian's trace within a radius of five hundred kilometers, and they never thought they would actually find him.

The strength of the two was the tenth level of Earth Profound Realm. Chasing a mere eighth level of Essence Profound Realm's ant like Yun Lintian was not a problem. Within ten seconds, the distance between them and Yun Lintian had reduced by over eighty percent.

"Stop!" One of the two men shouted and shot a wind blade at Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian felt danger from behind and instinctively rolled on the ground, avoided the wind blade timely. Following, he shattered a wind talisman to increase his speed passing through the dense forest.

The two chasers were furious. How could an ant be faster than them? They quickly increased their speed with a wind profound art while chopping all the trees on their paths.

Yun Lintian rushed out of the forest, and his expression turned ugly instantly when he saw there was only a cliff in front of him.

"Shit! Why do I have to encounter such a cliche situation at this time!" He cursed angrily and took a look at the below.

From his estimation, the cliff was at least two kilometers high. Even though there was a vast river below it, all of his bones would definitely shatter if he jumped down.

Yun Lintian turned to look at the two chasers and saw they were already rushing out of the forest. He took a deep breath, touching the silver necklace on his neck and praying before he gritted his teeth and jumped off the cliff.

"Damn it!" The two chasers were shocked when they saw this. They speedily to the edge of the cliff and saw Yun Lintian's body was falling at high speed.

"Do we need to follow?" They looked at each other and didn't know whether they should follow down.

One of them gritted his teeth and said, "If we don't get his body, I don't think Your Highness will spare us." Another man nodded his head in agreement and decided to climb down.

Puff! Puff!

However, when they were about to go down, two streaks of golden lights suddenly shot at them from the sky, turning them into nothingness instantly.

Yun Lintian could feel a strong wind blow against his head, causing his eyes to close involuntarily. Although he was descending toward death, his heart was extremely calm with no trace of fear. At this moment, a bunch of memories kept appearing in his mind. From the time he was on Earth to the time when he was in this world. Everything was vivid as if it happened yesterday.

"Hah… There won't be a second transmigration, right?" He muttered to himself jokingly. At the same time, he also scolded himself for cracking a joke at this life and death moment.

Yun Lintian forcefully opened his eyes to look down at the river and saw there wasn't much distance left before he hit the river. He quickly released all of his profound energy to cover himself in the hope he could survive from this.

Boom!

A moment later, his body had fully hit the river surface, causing his bones to break instantly. Yun Lintian didn't feel much pain as his consciousness had already drifted into the darkness by the impact.

Buzz—

While Yun Lintian's body sank into the river, the silver necklace on his neck suddenly vibrated, drilling into his chest and completely vanished in the next second. A moment later, a majestic silver gate appeared behind Yun Lintian, drawing him into it, and disappeared from the spot.

"Finally, it's awakened." Far away in the sky, a faint female voice resounded. There was a hint of excitement and relief in it.
