Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2464: Leaving



Inside the garden behind the Ice Phoenix Palace, Lan Bingxue soaked in the ice lake, meditating.

Suddenly, her eyes snapped open, and the surrounding snow froze in midair. She looked toward the portal behind the garden with a cold expression.

"It's actually true," Lan Bingxue murmured. "He could save her."

She stared at the portal for a long while before getting out of the lake and putting on a robe.

"Come in," she said.

Instantly, a woman clad in a blue robe walked over and bowed deeply. "Master."

"Prepare a banquet. We will receive our guests soon," Lan Bingxue said gently.

"Understood," the woman responded readily and prepared to leave.

"Right," Lan Bingxue stopped her and said, "Contact Qi Zongwen. Tell him the time has come. I allow you to use the grand formation."

"Understood, Master," the woman replied and left.

Lan Bingxue turned to look at the portal and said to herself, "Unfortunately, you cannot change anything."

***

Yun Lintian, together with Lan Hanyu and Long Bing, left the northern region. As they traversed the frozen wasteland, the God Beasts that had once posed a threat now bowed their heads in deference, sensing the overwhelming power of the two Dragon Gods and the reborn Ice Phoenix.

The journey back was far less arduous than their initial trek. The snowstorm seemed to part before them, the biting wind losing its edge, the chilling aura receding in the presence of their combined might.

When they finally reached the boundary of the northern region, a figure emerged from the swirling snow, her form wrapped in a thick cloak of ice and fur. It was Wan Jingrou, her face pale from the biting cold, but her eyes shining with anticipation.

She had been waiting for Yun Lintian's return, her heart filled with a mixture of worry and hope. She had witnessed the spectacle of the divine beast souls erupting from Phoenix Lake, and she knew that Yun Lintian had achieved a breakthrough, his power reaching unimaginable heights.

But she had also sensed the intense struggle, the clash of opposing forces, the very real possibility that he might not emerge from the depths of the lake. Her heart had been in turmoil, her emotions a whirlwind of fear and anticipation. After all, Yun Lintian was her only hope to get out of this place.

Now, as she saw Yun Lintian emerge from the blizzard, accompanied by Long Bing and another figure, her heart leaped with joy and relief. He was alive, he had returned, and he was more powerful than ever before.

But her joy quickly turned to shock and disbelief as her gaze fell upon the woman beside Yun Lintian. Her eyes widened, her breath catching in her throat, her mind reeling from the impossible sight before her.

It was the Ice Phoenix.

Lan Hanyu, her beauty ethereal and radiant, her aura filled with an ancient power, stood beside Yun Lintian, her eyes filled with coldness and indifference.

Wan Jingrou, a former disciple of the Ice Phoenix Sect, recognized her instantly. The legends, the whispers, the ancient prophecies, all spoke of the legendary Ice Phoenix, the progenitor of their lineage, the embodiment of ice and fire, the guardian of the frozen wastes.

Tears welled up in Wan Jingrou's eyes, her heart overflowing with a mixture of awe, reverence, and disbelief. The legend was true. The Ancient Ice Phoenix was real. And she stood before her, more magnificent and powerful than she could have ever imagined.

"Ancestor... Ancestor Ice Phoenix?" she stammered, her voice trembling with emotion.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Lan Hanyu turned her gaze toward Wan Jingrou, her eyes flickering with surprise as she felt a trace of her own bloodline within her.

"Yes," she said gently. "I am the Ice Phoenix."

Thud!

Wan Jingrou dropped to her knees, her head bowed in reverence. "Greetings, Ancestor," she said, her voice filled with awe and respect. "It is an honor to be in your presence."

Lan Hanyu smiled gently. "Rise," she said softly. "There is no need for such formality."

Wan Jingrou rose to her feet, her eyes still filled with tears, her heart pounding with excitement. She couldn't believe she was standing before the legendary Ice Phoenix, the ancestor of her lineage, the embodiment of her deepest aspirations.

"I... I never thought I would see you in my lifetime, Ancestor," she stammered, her voice filled with emotion. "The legends... the prophecies... they all spoke of you, but I never dared to believe they were true."

Lan Hanyu smiled and said nothing.

Wan Jingrou took a deep breath to calm herself and said, "Ancestor, let me explain the situation of the current Ice Phoenix Sect."

Before Wan Jingrou could say anything further, an oppressive aura descended, along with a group of people led by Ye Fuxie.

Wan Jingrou's face darkened as she looked at them. "Ye Fuxie! You actually stoop this low to collude with these bastards?"

The people behind Ye Fuxie were all notorious criminals who came here to escape death. Each was ruthless. Usually, Wan Jingrou and Ye Fuxie wouldn't even interact with them.

Ye Fuxie didn't reply, as he stared at Lan Hanyu in shock. After dealing with Wan Jingrou for a long time, he was extremely familiar with the aura of the Ice Phoenix bloodline. This woman was obviously beyond anyone he had ever seen. Without a doubt, she was the Ancient Ice Phoenix!

A sturdy man behind Ye Fuxie stepped forward, his aura on full display as he swept his gaze over everyone. "Who caused the commotion earlier?" he asked coldly.

Ye Fuxie wanted to say something but held back. He wouldn't mind letting these idiots test Lan Hanyu's strength.

Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed slightly as he observed the group of criminals. He could sense their bloodlust. He glanced at Ye Fuxie, who had a flicker of calculation in his eyes. It was clear that Ye Fuxie was using these criminals as pawns, hoping to test Lan Hanyu's strength without risking himself.

Ye Fuxie seemed to notice Yun Lintian's gaze. His heart trembled involuntarily as he sensed

the change in Yun Lintian's aura... A True God!?

Yun Lintian stepped forward and looked at them. "It was me."

The sturdy man narrowed his eyes and sized up Yun Lintian. "You?"

Yun Lintian nodded. "That's all you need to know."

He raised his hand, his palm glowing with golden light. Heat radiated outward, melting the surrounding snow, turning the air into a shimmering haze.

Boom!!

Instantly, Yun Lintian's palm unleashed a torrent of golden flames, a wave of pure solar energy that swept through the criminals, incinerating them instantly...
