Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Lintian didn't reply to the question. He took a deep look at Long Fan and asked, "I'm curious. From what I see, you are resourceful and thoughtful. How could you allow such a disgrace to lead the clan?"

Long Fan frowned deeper. He turned to Xiao Shou and said, "Your aura... You must be one of the Netherworld Gods. We, the Dragon God Clan, always have a good relationship with the Netherworld. Tell me, what is your purpose in coming here?"

Xiao Shou cupped his fists and said, "It's been a long time, Elder Long. I don't have any purpose in coming here, but he does. The Dragon Princess is his wife. Long Aotian's action has angered him. If you are willing to listen to my advice, please tell him to let her go. Otherwise, the Dragon God Clan will definitely fall into chaos today. That's all I can say."

Long Fan was surprised to hear this and began to scrutinize Yun Lintian again. Through his perception, he could sense a dangerous aura deep within this young man's body, but the strength he showed was obviously at the God Ascension Realm. How could he give him such a dreadful feeling?

At the same time, he was surprised to know that Yun Lintian was actually the Dragon Princess's husband. It was truly absurd.

Since the death of the Primordial Azure Dragon God and the original Elder Cousin, Long Fan had become the First Elder mainly because he was resourceful and experienced, having studied under the Primordial Azure Dragon God for a long time. He knew that if he made a wrong choice here, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I didn't expect Her Highness to have a lover outside," Long Fan sighed.

Yun Lintian gave him a meaningful gaze and said, "She has already lost her Primal Yin. I believe you should have noticed it as well. Why are you acting as if you are surprised here?"

Long Fan shook his head and said, "You've misunderstood me. I have never seen her. She is currently imprisoned within the Ancestral Land under the supervision of Lord Ancestors."

Long Fan spoke further, "The Dragon Emperor has indeed violated the code of ethics. How about you come with me and talk it out with His Majesty?"

Yun Lintian nodded and said without hesitation, "Lead the way."

Long Fan took a deep look at Yun Lintian. It seemed this young man was absolutely confident that no one here could harm him. What was his source of confidence?

He opened his hand and said, "Please."

Yun Lintian didn't say anything and followed Long Fan into the palace.

Xiao Shou shook his head and quietly followed them. In his opinion, a battle... No, a bloodbath was imminent.

Inside the palace, a tense silence hung in the air as Yun Lintian walked confidently through the grand hall. Long Aotian sat on the throne, his gaze filled with anger and contempt as he watched the newcomer approach. The gathered guests, dragons, and human cultivators alike, watched with bated breath, sensing the impending conflict.

Upon Yun Lintian's arrival, Long Fan leaned towards Long Aotian and sent him a message through a voice transmission, "Your Majesty, he claims to be the Dragon Princess's husband. The one who accompanied him is one of the Netherworld Gods. His name is Xiao Shou."

A flicker of surprise crossed Long Aotian's face, but it was quickly replaced by a cold, calculating expression. He had long suspected that Long Qingxuan had a lover outside the clan. The loss of her Primal Yin was a clear indication.

The killing intent within Long Aotian's heart immediately surged. To him, this was a humiliation!

"So, the Dragon Princess's lover has finally shown himself," Long Aotian said, his voice dripping with venom. "It's good that he is here. I can kill him and eliminate any future troubles."

Long Fan frowned. "Your Majesty, this matter is delicate. The Netherworld Gods are not to be trifled with. Perhaps we should try to negotiate..."

Long Aotian cut him off, his voice laced with arrogance. "Negotiate? With a mere human? He dares to challenge my authority and insult the Dragon God Clan. He must be punished."

He turned to face the crowd, his voice booming through the hall. "Citizens of the Dragon God Realm, I present to you the man who dared to insult your Emperor and disrupt this joyous occasion. He is a human cultivator, a trespasser who has no right to be here."

Naturally, he wouldn't talk about the relationship between Yun Lintian and Long Qingxuan.

"This human has committed a grave offense," Long Aotian continued, his voice rising with righteous indignation. "He has killed our guards and disrupted our sacred ceremony. He must be punished for his crimes."

A wave of murmurs swept through the crowd. The dragons, their loyalty to the Emperor unwavering, roared their approval, their voices echoing through the hall. The human cultivators, however, remained silent, their expressions unreadable.

Dongfang Xue tugged her father's arm and said anxiously, "Father..."

"Look at him carefully. He's very relaxed, and the person behind him is a True God. Let's wait and see so we don't spoil his plan." Dongfang Hao had good judgment, and he fully believed that Yun Lintian wasn't a reckless person. Clearly, he had come prepared.

Dongfang Xue didn't say anything further, but her face was filled with worry.

Yun Lintian remained unfazed by Long Aotian's accusations. He stepped forward, his voice calm but firm. "Long Aotian, your lies will not stand. I am Yun Lintian, the husband of Long Qingxuan. And I have come to take her back."

"What!?"

A collective gasp echoed through the hall. The revelation of Yun Lintian's identity sent shockwaves through the crowd. Especially the Dragon Gods. The Dragon Princess, their beloved princess, was already married? And to a human cultivator, no less? The implications of this news were staggering, shaking the very foundations of the Dragon God Clan's traditions and beliefs.

Long Aotian's face contorted in rage. "Nonsense!" he roared, his voice filled with murderous intent. "How dare you smear my woman? You will pay for your insolence with your life!"

He lunged towards Yun Lintian, his draconic aura erupting like a volcano. The air crackled with energy, the sheer force of his attack threatening to tear the hall apart.

Yun Lintian stood his ground, his expression unwavering. He raised his hand, his palm glowing with a celestial light. A barrier of pure energy materialized before him, shielding him from Long Aotian's onslaught.
