Myth Beyond Heaven

"Why? Is it too much?" Yun Lintian asked with a faint smile.

Sun Jia shook his head and said. "I can understand why Young Lord Yun requested this. It's just that I have no authority on this matter. However, I will be honest with you. I don't think Grand Ancestor will accept your request."

"I see. Senior is really honest, huh?" Yun Lintian chuckled and took a sip of tea.

Sun Jia smiled wryly. "Although I am an envoy, I am nothing but a servant who runs errands."

"And here your Grand Ancestor sends you, a servant, over. He surely wants to make amends." Han Bingling sneered.

Sun Jia sighed and said. "It's because they are afraid you will kill him if they send the first elder over."

"So Senior is not afraid of death?" Yun Lintian asked with a faint smile that seemed to conceal the killing intent behind it.

Sun Jia looked at Yun Lintian and suddenly laughed. "It's because I am afraid of death that I come here. Instead of resisting the order and dying, I'd rather take a risk to come here. After all, I believe Young Lord Yun is not an unreasonable person."

"Oh? You seem to know me so well, Senior?" Yun Lintian said.

Sun Jia shook his head. "It cannot be said that I know you very well. However, Young Lord Yun was willing to take a risk for your senior sister had impressed me deeply. Moreover, you clearly had the ability to exterminate all the Wang Clan's descendants, but you chose not to. Because of this, I believe Young Lord Yun won't kill innocent people."

"You are an innocent person?" Yun Lintian asked while staring straight into Sun Jia's eyes.

Sun Jia laughed and replied. "Certainly, I'm not innocent, but I have never done anything to you nor participated in the conspiracy. I am just a weak old man. If Young Lord Yun wants to kill me, I have no objection."

Yun Lintian stared at Sun Jia for a long time and curled his lips. "I can see that what Senior said comes from the bottom of your heart. This makes me curious. How did senior join the Star Gazing Palace?"

"Are you saying that I don't look like anyone from the Star Gazing Palace?" Sun Jia smiled faintly. "Please don't take offended from what I am going to say next… Young Lord Yun is very young, and I believe you haven't experienced the world yet."

"Why do you think everyone in the Star Gazing Palace must be like Grand Ancestor?"

Without waiting for Yun Lintian to reply, Sun Jia said further. "I can see that Young Lord Yun's sect is full of good people, but can you guarantee it will be like this ten or a hundred years later?"

Yun Lintian shook his head.

Sun Jia nodded. "That's right. The Star Gazing Palace might be full of cunning and hideous people, but it doesn't mean that there are no ordinary people like me."

He paused for a moment and continued. "I'm trying to whitewash the Star Gazing Palace. What I want to say is that the world is like this. There are various people in every place… As for how I joined them, I didn't have the right to choose as my parents were the servants there."

"I am truly grateful to the Star Gazing Palace for giving me resources and teaching me. At the same time, I refuse to be like them, who do everything for their personal gains. If I could choose, I'd rather be an ordinary person."

Yun Lintian nodded his head slightly and said. "Well, I kinda understand what you want to say, Senior. And I believe you are what you said."

He changed the topic. "Can you tell me more about the conference? Why did he come up with this all of a sudden?"

Sun Jia explained. "It's like this. Our people who stayed around the Chaotic Sea Region entrance discovered the change in it. The spatial disturbance around that place has become increasingly stable. Grand Ancestor believes that the most terrifying foe, Yin Weizhe, is about to come out soon."

"Coupled with the fact that the Poison Valley has started moving once again. There shouldn't be any other explanation than this."

He looked at Yun Lintian and said further. "I don't know if Young Lord Yun knows about the incident back then. This Yin Weizhe was the leader of the force from another world called the Abyssal World. His strength had exceeded our world's ceiling. If it weren't for Grand Ancestor, Senior Weilan Jian, and the other powerhouses, our world would have fallen into the darkness long ago."

"In order to prevent repeating the same tragedy. Grand Ancestor thinks it's better to form an alliance so we can exchange information and help each other in time."

Yun Lintian nodded slowly and said nothing about this. Although it made sense, he didn't think it was simple as that. Obviously, there was a conspiracy behind it.

"Where were they when we suffered back then?" Han Bingling sneered.

Sun Jia sighed and said honestly. "I don't know as well. Perhaps they want to occupy the Northern Continent by borrowing the Poison Valley's hands."

He looked at Yun Lintian and said solemnly. "I am here to send an invitation and Grand Ancestor's message. Since I have fulfilled my duty already, it's time for me to express my opinion."

His gaze deepened as he said in a low voice. "I know Young Lord Yun has your own judgment, but this old man wants to tell you that. It's not a good idea to go there. This is an obvious trap for you."

Yun Lintian finally showed admiration for Sun Jia. At first, he was skeptical about him, but this time, he fully believed this old man was different. Naturally, it could be his conspiracy, but what was there to gain from doing this?

Sun Jia said further. "Supreme Elder and Young Master Xing have indeed been imprisoned right now, but according to the information I have, they should be assigned an important task."

He looked at Yun Lintian deeply. "That so-called important task should be something related to you. So, make a decision wisely."
