Myth Beyond Heaven

Hongyue seemed to see through everyone's thoughts. She explained calmly. "The person who trapped him here should be Xia Nongyue. She is similar to Scarlet Soul Emperor and has her own Emperor Realm. I can safely say that she's on Beyond Heaven King's side."

Seeing Hongyue unwilling to give more information regarding Xia Nongyue, Yun Ruanyu and others didn't inquire further.

Yun Ruanyu thought for a moment and asked. "Since Scarlet Soul Emperor found a trace of Beyond Heaven King, what about others?"

This doubt had been disturbing her for a while now. According to Hongyue's words before, any Divine Emperor could easily destroy a lower world with a snap of their finger, yet how did the Azure World still be safe and sound until now?

Hongyue smiled mysteriously as she replied. "Of course, there are other Divine Emperors who know this. However, they don't dare to come here... You will understand how special this Azure World is in the near future. I won't give you a spoiler."

Yun Ruanyu wasn't annoyed by Hongyue as she believed she had reason to do this. Since there was no other question, everyone went to help Yun Lingwei arrange the formation.

***

On the outside of the passage entrance, Du Huanfeng was trying to open the entrance with his formation knowledge, but it was futile. He seemed to understand that the entrance was tightly blocked by something extremely powerful. The problem was, why would that person block it? Counting how powerful the enemy was, this person shouldn't fear anyone here. This made Du Huanfeng puzzled.

"Ugh…" While Du Huanfeng was thinking, Lei Feifei, Lei Jin, Zhou Qingyu, and Qin Wuji slowly regained consciousness. They looked around in confusion as they discovered they were still alive.

"Leader!"

"Island Master!"

An Hua and Black Wing's elders quickly called out when they saw this. The tension in their hearts immediately dispersed. Although the worries about the enemy were still there, they could try to deal with the enemy again as long as their leaders were fine.

"How did we get out?" Zhou Qingyu spoke while trying to recuperate.

An Lang and Ji Zhiyin hesitated. They didn't know how to start it.

"What is it? Why don't you speak?" Zhou Qingyu squinted her eyes.

At this moment, Lei Feifei discovered Yun Lintian was nowhere to be seen. Her heart instantly tightened as she hurriedly asked. "Where is Elder Mu?"

As her voice fell, the atmosphere became gloomy. An Lang and others could only glance at each other with complicated feelings.

"What's going on?" Lei Jin frowned and stared at Ji Zhiyin.

Ji Zhiyin took a deep breath and said. "It was Elder Mu who sacrificed himself to bring everyone out."

Zhou Qingyu, Lei Feifei, Lei Jin, and Qin Wuji were stunned on the spot, and grief immediately arose in their hearts.

"H-how could it be?" Qin Wuji muttered in disbelief while Lei Jin closed his eyes and let out a sorrowful sigh.

Meanwhile, Zhou Qingyu went silent and stared at the Black Jade wall in a daze.

The most shocked were naturally Lei Feifei. She was aware of Yun Lintian's potential. He could actually survive under Scarlet Soul Emperor's attack and brought everyone out safely. According to this logic, he could definitely escape by himself, yet he didn't do it.

"Why did he so foolish?" Lei Feifei's face turned unsightly. She felt suffocating, as if something was blocking her chest.

Ji Zhiyin hesitated and said. "Don't be sad, Leader. Elder Mu had fulfilled his duty. There's nothing to be sad about."

Lei Feifei's eyes turned cold instantly upon hearing this. She raised her face and stared straight into Ji Zhiyin's eyes. "Fulfilled his duty? Hehe… You must be happy deep down, didn't you?"

Ji Zhiyin became panicked and tried to explain. "No, no. Leader. Listen to me. I don't mean that…."

"Oh? What do you mean, then?" Lei Feifei sneered. "Do you know? There's no need for him to save us at all. With his strength, escaping from the place is not a problem, but he still brought us out in the end. You called this as he is fulfilling his duty? Let me ask you. What duty did he have to begin with!?"

Ji Zhiyin went silent immediately. This was the first time she had been scolded by Lei Feifei. Her hands clenched tightly and transferred the anger in her heart onto Yun Lintian. That was right. She blamed Yun Lintian for this.

"Please calm down, Leader. What we have to do right now is find the way to deal with this situation." Song Cang saw the atmosphere wasn't good and hurriedly stepped forward.

Lei Feifei took a deep breath while continuing to stare at Ji Zhiyin. Everyone could feel how furious she was. If Ji Zhiyin wasn't a Black Wing's elder, Lei Feifei would have killed her by now.

At this moment, Du Huanfeng walked to Lei Feifei and asked. "Leader Lei, can you tell us now? What did you encounter inside?"

Everyone immediately turned to Lei Feifei, waiting for her explanation.

Lei Jin suddenly opened his eyes and took the initiative to speak on Lei Feifei's behalf. "We had encountered a powerful enemy. He's in a residual soul form, but his strength is far exceeding any of us here." He paused for a moment and said with a solemn expression. "I'm afraid that is only one-tenth of his strength."

Du Huanfeng's brows raised in surprise. He didn't doubt Lei Jin's words at all because there was no need for him to lie. He thought for a moment and asked. "Could this person be a Divine Ascending Tribulation expert?"

As he asked, everyone involuntarily took a deep breath. Everyone in this place naturally knew what Divine Ascending Tribulation expert means. They couldn't believe there was actually one hiding in this place.

However, Lei Jin's answer made everyone dumbfounded. He shook his head and said. "I had met a few Divine Ascending Tribulation experts before. I can fully say that none of them could compare to this person…. My speculation is that this person didn't belong to this world."
