Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 157 - Identity Expose?

"Hmm?" Lei Jun abruptly halted his tracks and looked around with a frown. Earlier, he felt someone spied on him. It was faint, but he fully trusted his intuition.

"All of you spread out and check this area." Lei Jun immediately ordered his two bodyguards, and both of them spread out, using their Spiritual Senses to check the surrounding.

As much as Yun Lintian was confident in his formation profound art, he didn't dare to underestimate the peak of Ruler Profound practitioner. His mind spun rapidly, figuring out to get out of this situation. Once he was discovered, his life would probably end here.

Of course, Yun Lintian could escape to the Land of Beyond Heaven, but he didn't how long he had to stay there as he had no way to see the outside situation.

"Eh? Isn't that Young Master Lei?" Suddenly, Ming Wu appeared behind Lei Jun and greeted him. When he saw Lei Jun came in this direction, he did not hesitate to follow.

Lei Jun turned around with a frown. "You've followed me?"

Ming Wu smiled amiably and admitted readily. "Yes, I am indeed following Young Master Lei here, but I have no ill intention. Instead, I have good news to tell you."

"Oh? What is it?" As the young master of Divine Thunder Palace, Lei Jun naturally looked down on Ming Wu, but it didn't mean he had to ignore him.

Ming Wu pointed at Qi Yuanfeng on his side and said. "This is my grandfather's disciple, Qi Yuanfeng. He is the current crown prince of Heavenly Fortune Nation. As for the good news, better to let him speak."

Lei Jun turned to Qi Yuanfeng and said. "Go ahead, tell me."

Qi Yuanfeng did not have a trace of arrogance at this moment. He cupped his fists and said. "Junior Qi Yuanfeng greets Young Master Lei. Before telling Young Master Lei the news, may I know whether Young Master Lei has seen a divine weapon before?"

Ming Wu's mouth twitched slightly. Lei Jun was hailed from Divine Thunder Palace. How could he never see divine weapon before?

Lei Jun felt nothing strange about the question, as it was understandable Qi Yuanfeng came from a small place. He nodded his head. "Of course, I've seen it before. Why?"

Qi Yuanfeng said. "What if I say, there are three divine weapons appeared in my Heavenly Fortune Nation half a year ago? Do Young Master Lei believe it?"

Lei Jun's brows raised in surprise. "Although it sounds exaggerated, I believe you didn't dare to lie to me. Say, what to do you want by telling me this?" 

The Divine-rank treasure was extremely rare, even among the nine palaces. Lei Jun could roughly guess Ming Wu and Qi Yuanfeng's intention, but he didn't care much. If what Qi Yuanfeng said was true, Lei Jun could gain a tremendous benefit, and he wouldn't mind killing both of them if it had proven fake.

"Young Master Lei's eyes are like a torch. This junior admires you." Qi Yuanfeng gave a flatter before continuing. "My request is simple. I want to borrow Young Master Lei's force to search for a group of people. The said divine weapons are currently with them. I didn't care about those weapons, but I hope Young Master Lei can give the people to me."

"That's it?" Lei Jun frowned slightly. He didn't believe there was such a good deal like this. There must be something behind it, but he didn't care much. No matter what tricks Qi Yuanfeng came up with, he was confident to deal with him.

"Why don't you elaborate more? Who are these people? How come they have a divine weapon?" Lei Jun asked.

Qi Yuanfeng immediately narrated about the Misty Cloud Sect. Of course, he added false information to portray the Misty Cloud Sect as a villain.

Lei Jun listened to Qi Yuanfeng's narration and pondered… Misty Cloud Sect? Why is this name sounds familiar? 

Qi Yuanfeng didn't interrupt Lei Jun and chose to look around the place with Ming Wu.

"Young Master, we've discovered the alarm formation." Both of Lei Jun's bodyguards returned and said.

"Alarm formation? We are the first group to reach here, right? Who set it up here?" Lei Jun said.

One of the bodyguards took out a formation stone with complicated runes on it. "Please take a look, Young Master."

Lei Jun picked the formation stone up and carefully checked it. A trace of astonishment appeared on his face as he said. "This is the ancient divine rune. From the look of it, it has been recently used. How did it appear here?"

Lei Jun studied various profound arts since he was young. With the abundant resources and knowledge within Divine Thunder Palace, he naturally saw this ancient divine rune in a book before. 

He recalled his mother once said even the most powerful profound formation master of Divine Thunder Palace could not engrave the ancient divine rune, but now, it appeared before him and working fine. How could he not surprise?

Lei Jun quickly ordered his bodyguards. "We must find the person who made this. Go."

The two bodyguards quickly spread out again. This time, they raised their Spiritual Sense to the maximum, covering several kilometers.

Qi Yuanfeng used his Spiritual Sense to look at the formation stone on Lei Jun's hand. When he saw the ancient runes on it, his brows involuntarily creased together as he said. "Young Master Lei, I've seen this kind of runes before."

Lei Jun turned around and asked. "Really? Where have you seen it?"

"Remember the story I told you earlier?" Qi Yuanfeng said. Seeing Lei Jun nodded his head, he continued. "These ancient runes are exactly the same as the runes I saw on the Misty Cloud Sect's protective formation back then. Perhaps there is a connection between this and the Misty Cloud Sect."

Lei Jun was surprised and stared at the formation stone in his hand.

Yun Lintian would never expect his identity was about to expose in no time by just a brief conversation between Lei Jun and Qi Yuanfeng.
