Myth Beyond Heaven

"I understand. We will meet at the island's center." Wen Yunshan said to the transmission jade in his hand with knitted brows.

"Brother Shan?" A young man who stood behind Wen Yunshan asked curiously. His name was Hu An, Wen Yunshan's closest junior brother.

Wen Yunshan put the transmission jade away and glanced at the vicinity for a moment before saying. "Situ Chaofeng is dead. He was killed by the mysterious man in black. This person possesses a spatial technique. We have to be careful."

"What? Situ Chaofeng?" Hu An was shocked. He naturally knew how powerful Situ Chaofeng was. This was completely unexpected.

"I found a problem. Xue Qianqian said that this person appeared before them after Brother Yun left to find Situ Chaofeng..." Wen Yunshan frowned deeply.

"Brother Shan means that how did this person know about Senior Brother Yun's movement, right?" Hu An was smart. He immediately discovered the crux upon hearing this.

"Yeah. Don't you think it's too coincident?" Wen Yunshan responded.

"Could it be… There's a traitor among them?" Hu An touched his chin and pondered.

"It's possible, but I can't think of anyone." Similar to Yun Lintian, Wen Yunshan didn't think there was a traitor among Yun Lintian's group, but he didn't deny the possibility.

Hu An's brows creased together while trying to recall everyone's information in that group. A moment later, he shook his head. "It's difficult. As far as I know, everyone that joined this campaign has a clean background. They are unlikely to interact with other forces without their sects knowing."

Wen Yunshan thought for a moment and asked. "Did you overlook the crucial point in this matter?"

"Crucial point…" Hu An frowned deeply. The next moment, his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands together excitedly. "That's right! How did that person know Senior Brother Yun's strength?"

Wen Yunshan nodded heavily. "Except for those who went to the banquet, I don't think anyone knows about him."

Hu An thought for a moment and said. "No, Brother Shan. There's another possibility." He paused for a moment and continued. "Didn't Senior Brother Yun say he has a grudge against the Poison Valley? Although we didn't know the man in black's identity yet, I don't think there is any force in this world that dares to go against the Divine Phoenix Palace and us openly like this except them."

"You're saying that it could be their work?" Wen Yunshan looked at Hu An in surprise.

"Yes." Hu An nodded firmly. "Since Senior Brother Yun and the Poison Valley have formed a grudge, it is impossible for the Poison Valley to not know his talent. Perhaps Senior Brother Yun was spotted by their spies before coming here."

"But this cannot explain how they know his position." Wen Yunshan shook his head.

"Brother Shan, have I denied that there's no traitor among them?" Hu An asked with confidence.

Wen Yunshan was stunned for a moment and said solemnly. "I didn't expect the Poison Valley has extended its tentacle to this extent. We have to notify our Sect Master when we return."

"Eternal Sword Sect? Hahaha!" A burst of wild laughter suddenly echoed from a far distance, bringing Wen Yunshan and the others' minds back from their thoughts.

When Wen Yunshan turned around to look in the voice's direction, his eyes narrowed immediately. "Red Skull pirates?"

Leading in the front was a middle-aged man with one eye blinded. A long scar could be seen across his blind eye, making him look scary. His name was Liao Delun, the captain of the ship that came here.

Liao Delun grinned, revealing his yellow teeth, and said. "Wen Yunshan? I've heard your name before, but you didn't seem as powerful as people said."

Wen Yunshan scanned the group of twenty in front of him briefly and fixated his gaze on Liao Delun. "That's good. I was looking for you earlier."

Wen Yunshan slowly unsheathed the sword on his back as he spoke and pointed forward at Liao Delun. "Come!"

When Wen Yunshan's voice fell, Hu An and the other eight Eternal Sword Sect disciples immediately drew their swords out. Each one of them exuded a sharp aura that was seemingly able to cut everything in front of them.

"Heh! A bunch of sword idiots. Go and kill them. Leave that guy for me. I want to punch his handsome face by myself." Liao Delun motioned with his chin, and his nineteen subordinates immediately stepped forward, releasing frightening auras that were not inferior to Wen Yunshan's group.

Liao Delun put on golden knuckles and pumped his fists together, producing a deafening exploding sound. He grinned at Wen Yunshan and said. "Come, let me punch your face a little."

"Go ahead, Brother Shan. Leave the rest to us." Hu An said confidently and rushed out with the others.

Wen Yunshan glanced at Hu An briefly and returned to Liao Delun. "Go."

A bright ray of light flashed as his voice fell, and a pale white beam instantly appeared in front of Liao Delun.

"Heh!" Liao Delun laughed coldly and quickly sent a punch out. Golden light burst out almost at the same time as the pale white sword beam. Although it was half an instant slower than the sword beam, the burst of its power didn't lose to the sword beam at all.

Boom!!

Amidst a loud explosion, Liao Delun took a step forward, and his figure instantly reappeared beside Wen Yunshan. He didn't hesitate to swing his fist at the latter's head in the next split second.

"Die!" Liao Delun let out a sinister roar as he punched forward. His fist carried a terrifying might that caused the surrounding space to tremble.

Perceiving the pressure coming, Wen Yunshan's eyes turned sharp. Almost immediately, a blinding explosion occurred. It was as though countless stars were manifesting around Wen Yunshan and transforming into sword beams, shooting toward Liao Delun.

Liao Delun's expression changed slightly but he didn't retract his fist. Instead, he exerted more strength, and a golden flame instantly burst out from his entire body.

Boom!

A loud boom sounded. Wen Yunshan's figure was sent flying into the distance.

Within a thirty-meter radius around Liao Delun were bright golden flames that exploded outward, interrupting the sword beams. Any sword beams that came into contact with the flame were immediately destroyed and turned into specks of fleeing light.

However, these specks of light formed into more sword beams almost instantaneously and continued to shoot toward Liao Delun.
