Myth Beyond Heaven-Chapter 2702: The Best Outcome

Bai Ying's eyes flickered between the two men, her heart torn. Finally, she let out a bitter laugh. "How ironic. The Bai Clan's kindness has come back to haunt you, hasn't it? But tell me, old man, do you truly believe that your death will bring peace to the Bai Clan's souls?"

The Meng Clan ancestor's expression softened, a hint of sorrow in his eyes. "No. But it is a start. Sometimes, all we can do is take the first step toward atonement."

Bai Ying went silent, as she didn't know how to decide.

At this moment, Yun Lintian stepped forward and glanced at the Meng Clan ancestor. "Your scheme is not bad."

The Meng Clan ancestor looked at Yun Lintian and asked, "What do you mean, young sir?"

Yun Lintian smiled and said, "With all the major clans gone, your Meng Clan will be the only dominant force in this city. Your death isn't a loss, but it allows your clan to flourish in the long run."

He took a deep look at the Meng Clan ancestor and said with a meaningful smile, "The fact that you didn't come out earlier and tell Senior Bai about the Bai Clan's descendants proved that you had already planned everything. This must be your worst-case scenario you've anticipated, right?"

The Meng Clan ancestor and Meng Huai stared at Yun Lintian in silence, not knowing how to respond.

Bai Ying's anger flared up again when she heard this. "It turns out you are trying to fool me."

Yun Lintian smiled and said further, "What if I tell you that this isn't the worst case? There's something worse than that. For example, your entire clan vanishes together with the other clans."

Yun Lintian's voice was calm, but it sent a chill running down everyone's spine.

The expressions of the Meng Clan ancestor and Meng Huai changed drastically when they heard this. Everything was correct. This was their trump card to deal with Bai Ying's revenge, but they had miscalculated. Yun Lintian was a surprise factor they had never expected.

The Meng Clan ancestor finally sighed, his shoulders slumping. "You are right, young sir. It was indeed my plan. Now that things have come to this point, I am willing to accept any punishment, even if it means the Meng Clan perishes."

Bai Ying's eyes narrowed, her expression a mix of anger and confusion. She struggled to make a decision.

"Rawr."

Suddenly, a soft, cute noise broke the tension. From Yun Lintian's arms, the White Tiger cub, Bai Xi, stirred, its tiny eyes blinking sleepily. It let out another adorable squeak, its tiny paws reaching out towards Bai Ying.

The sound snapped Bai Ying out of her reverie, bringing her back to her senses. She looked at the cub, its innocent eyes filled with a pure, untainted light. A wave of tenderness washed over her, reminding her of the future, of the hope that still remained.

She took a deep breath, her gaze shifting back to the Meng Clan ancestor and Meng Huai. "I will not pursue the Meng Clan further, but you must do one thing."

Relief washed over the Meng Clan ancestor and Meng Huai, their bodies relaxing slightly.

"Anything," the ancestor replied, his voice filled with gratitude. "Just name it."

"Destroy the other major clans," Bai Ying commanded, her voice sharp and clear. "Wipe them out, every single one of them. Let their blood pay for the destruction they wrought upon the Bai Clan."

The Meng Clan ancestor and Meng Huai exchanged a glance, their expressions a mix of surprise and understanding. They knew that Bai Ying's demand was not merely about revenge. It made them play the role of traitor and butcher. This image would be painted on the Meng Clan forever.

However, compared to the Meng Clan perishing, they found it acceptable.

"We accept," the ancestor replied, his voice filled with a newfound determination. "We will carry out your command."

Bai Ying nodded and went to take her daughter from Yun Lintian's arms.

The Meng Clan ancestor took out a jade slip and handed it to Bai Ying. "This is the location where the Bai Clan's descendants live right now."

Bai Ying took the jade slip and said nothing more.

Yun Lintian took a deep look at the Meng Clan ancestor and asked, "You have lived for ages, do you know where the Profound Mystery God is?"

His question startled everyone present.

The Meng Clan ancestor's eyes widened slightly, a flicker of caution crossing his weathered face. He hesitated for a moment, his gaze shifting between Yun Lintian and Bai Ying. He knew that Yun Lintian's power was unfathomable, and his intentions were equally enigmatic.

"May I ask, young sir," he began, his voice laced with careful respect, "why you seek the Profound Mystery God's whereabouts?"

Yun Lintian's expression remained calm and indifferent, his eyes gleaming with a faint, enigmatic light. "I merely wish to see how 'benevolent' this god truly is. I have heard that he is a righteous god, yet he allows his subordinates to commit unspeakable evils. I wish to see if this is merely a misunderstanding."

The Meng Clan ancestor's gaze deepened, his mind racing.

"I do not know his precise location," the Meng Clan ancestor admitted, his voice low and cautious. "The Profound Mystery God is a being of immense power, and he rarely reveals his true whereabouts. However, I have heard that he often travels to the God of Darkness' territory, the Eternal Darkness Realm."

He paused, his gaze shifting towards Yun Lintian, his voice filled with a subtle warning. "The Eternal Darkness Realm is a dangerous place, young sir. It is a realm of shadows and chaos, ruled by a god of immense power. Proceed with caution."

"Oh?" Yun Lintian was slightly surprised. "I see."

He turned to Bai Ying and said, "Let's go."

Bai Ying nodded and followed Yun Lintian, her mind filled with a mix of emotions. She was grateful for Yun Lintian's assistance, yet she couldn't help but wonder about his true intentions.

The Meng Clan ancestor and Meng Huai watched them leave, their expressions a mix of relief and apprehension. They knew that Yun Lintian's presence had changed everything, and they couldn't help but wonder what the future held.

"Ancestor," Meng Huai began, his voice filled with lingering concern, "do you think we made the right decision?"

The Meng Clan ancestor sighed, his gaze shifting towards the horizon. "This is the best outcome for us… Let's go. Bring our people over."
