Myth Beyond Heaven

"What happened exactly?" Weilan Jian asked. It was true that the seals would loosen, but it wouldn't be this fast. There must be some external factors involved.

"Report to Master. We can't find the reason yet. However, our initial guess is that it has something to do with the other side." The male voice echoed.

Weilan Jian's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this. He thought for a moment and asked. "How long do we have?"

"No more than two years. At worst, less than a year."

Weilan Jian said with a rare serious expression. "Try to hold for a year. Use everything we have."

"Understood, Master." The male voice resounded.

Weilan Jian took a deep breath and closed his eyes, continuing to refine the blood origin. From today onward, he would never take a rest again.

While Weilan Jian concentrated on increasing his strength, Xing Tengfei glanced at the reports in his hand with a rare frown between his brows. He was cautious all his life, yet this was the first time the Poison Valley had managed to surprise him.

This move from the Poison Valley could be described as simple yet effective. The most crucial point was that his Star Pavilion couldn't even find a single clue prior to this.

Sitting opposite him was Xing Yongnian. He said with a solemn expression. "They are very determined to break up with us this time. Undoubtedly, Yin Weizhe is still alive and about to make a comeback."

"What about the people we sent over?" Xing Tengfei asked.

"All dead." Xing Yongnian replied solemnly.

"All dead?… I see. He's going to leave the Chaotic Sea Region soon. It is imminent this time." Xing Tengfei tapped his finger on the table while pondering his next move.

"What about Chen'er?" He asked.

Xing Yongnian replied. "Fortunately, he was cautious enough. Xing Guiren's assassination attempt was blocked by Lan Cao. He's now preparing to capture Yun Lintian again."

Last time, Xing Guiren had entered Heavenly Cloud Mountain and was forcibly planted a command by Yun Xia to kill Xing Chen when the opportunity arose. He did as commanded, but Xing Chen was smart enough to notice his abnormality and made a preparation beforehand.

Xing Tengfei nodded slowly. "An existence who could plant a command in Xing Guiren's soul without being noticed must be someone from the Divine Realm. Unfortunately, we cannot sneak into Heavenly Cloud Mountain."

Xing Yongnian thought of someone among Yun Lintian's group and said. "It must be her. We cannot confirm the sudden disappearance of the death aura, but I believe it must be her."

"You mean the abnormal old woman among Yun Lintian's group?" Xing Tengfei asked. He had personally watched the entire matter during the conference by himself and noticed Yun Xia's abnormality. This person seemed to have no profound strength as if she was an ordinary mortal.

Xing Yongnian nodded. "She was too calm. And I heard Yun Lintian call her grandma."

Xing Tengfei thought for a while and said. "We cannot deal with him for the time being. There are too many hidden variables around him."

He paused for a moment and said. "Contact Yin Xu and provide him Yun Lintian's information and his whereabouts."

Xing Yongnian's brows raised slightly. "Would he take a bait?"

Xing Tengfei leaned back slightly and said with a meaningful smile. "He won't… But people behind him will."

He looked at Xing Yongnian and said further. "We are going to use another plan."

Xing Yongnian's pupils shrank upon hearing this. He took a deep breath and said. "Understood. I'll prepare it now."

Xing Tengfei waved his hand and let Xing Yongnian leave.

After Xing Yongnian disappeared from his sight, Xing Tengfei raised his hand to look at the night sky and muttered to himself. "This is what you forced me to do. You can't blame me this time, my good brother Jian."

His eyes flashed with terrifying lights that seemed to reflect the stars in the sky.

"Oh? Interesting…" Somewhere deep in the Endless Sea, Yin Xu looked at a jade slip in his hand in surprise. Inside the slip was a piece of information related to Yun Lintian as well as an interesting offer from Xing Yongnian.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. This Xing Tengfei is surely ruthless." Yin Xu clicked his tongue. "But does he really think he can use me as a spear?"

Despite saying this, Yin Xu couldn't move his eyes away from the offer inside the slip.

He pondered for a moment and took the jade slip with him, walking toward an inner chamber where his master resided.

He knocked on the door and said respectfully. "Master, I have interesting news to inform you."

"Come in." A majestic voice resounded from the inside.

Yin Xu pushed the door and stepped into the chamber. At this moment, a middle-aged man clad in a dark purple robe sat on a black throne with his eyes closed. If it wasn't for the Abyssal aura that he exuded, one would think he was an ordinary human.

This person's status among the Poison Valley was not low, and his strength was comparable to Jue Kong. His name was Ming Xun, the right-handed man of Yin Weizhe. The entire operation of the Poison Valley was managed by him during these thousands of years.

Yin Xu knelt on one knee and respectfully handed the jade slip to Ming Xun. "Please take a look at this, Master."

Ming Xun didn't open his eyes. He merely used his Spiritual Sense to check on the contents inside the slip.

Yin Xu said. "An old fox like him is finally willing to compromise. It seems he has broken up with Weilan Jian now."

He paused for a moment and asked. "What should we do now, Master?"

Ming Xun remained silent for a while and spoke. "The reason he chose to stay behind is that there's something he is unwilling to give up here… This deal is not bad. Each gets what we needed."

"This Yun Lintian's strength improves too fast. We have to get rid of him before Abyssal Lord returns."

Ming Xun paused briefly and said. "Answer them that we are willing to cooperate with them… Can you handle this matter?"

Yin Xu's eyes flashed with excitement as he replied. "Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Master. I won't make a mistake again this time."

"I hope so." Ming Xun said emotionlessly.
