Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 589 Complicated Lie



Chapter 589 Complicated Lie

While the two believed it was an arrangement of Zhou Qingyu and Lei Feifei, Du Huanfeng thought otherwise. Coupled with the fact that Yun Lintian could survive under the Scarlet Soul Emperor while other peak monarchs couldn't, there was a high chance that Yun Lintian did everything alone.

Thinking of this, Du Huanfeng gradually felt the horror of Yun Lintian. He always thought this young man was naïve. It turned out it was him that was naïve instead.

While he was thinking, a man in black walked into the room and knelt down before Du Huanfeng. "Report, Young Master, our people have confirmed there is indeed a movement on Heavenly Cloud Mountain. The barrier around that place gradually weakens. From their estimation, it would take another year before it completely disappears."

A trace of surprise appeared on Du Huanfeng's face. After receiving the information from the Star Pavilion, he had sent a group of people to check Heavenly Cloud Mountain. The result had indeed surprised him. Looked like what Yun Lintian said was likely to be true. Perhaps he had lived in that place with Mu Qiuxue before.

"Tell them to pay attention to it closely and report me as soon as possible if there's a movement." Du Huanfeng said.

The man in black accepted the task readily and walked out of the room.

"Nephew, what's your plan?" Sixth Uncle asked. He seemed to see that Du Huanfeng had a different opinion.

Seventh Uncle suddenly said. "Let me go. It's a waste of time if we keep sending others."

Du Huanfeng shook his head and said. "It's not a good idea, Seventh Uncle. We need to investigate this matter first. I'm afraid it's not simple as we thought."

Seventh Uncle frowned in dissatisfaction. "Since when you become so timid, Nephew? This is not like you."

Du Huanfeng smiled faintly. "Think about it, Seventh Uncle. Zhou Qingyu had deliberately leaked the news to the outside world. What's her intention?" He paused for a moment and continued. "Simple. She wants to attract the attention of other palaces. Our Myriad Pill Palace has indeed been gaining momentum recently. However, it doesn't prevent other palaces from competing with us."

Sixth Uncle nodded in agreement. "Nephew is right… I didn't expect the little girl Zhou to be this resolute. It seems she has prepared to lose this island."

"Zhou Qingyu is not simple. Otherwise, she would lose this island a long time ago. What I am curious about right now is what her next plan is. Surely, Heavenly Sword Palace isn't available since they are preparing for the Heavenly Sword Summit… As for Star Gazing Palace, I believe they have already sent people over." Du Huanfeng expressed his opinion.

He looked at the two uncles and said calmly. "It's likely that Lei Zhenxiang is behind this."

"Lei Zhenxiang? He should be busy guarding against Lei Baiyu right now. I don't think he has the energy to pay attention to this. Furthermore, since Lei Feifei left, he had never been in contact with her again. Otherwise, those pirate groups would have been wiped out by him long ago." Seventh Uncle responded.

"It's not necessary. On the surface, Lei Zhenxiang didn't seem to care about his younger sister, but I know that he loves her dearly. This time, it involves several forces. I don't think he would stand still and watch her suffer." Du Huanfeng explained.

"Even so, he shouldn't come here by himself, right? Maybe he sent some Thunder Guards here." Sixth Uncle said in doubt.

"The only way we can find out is to ask Lei Baiyu directly." Du Huanfeng smiled meaningfully. The infighting among the Divine Thunder Palace was not a secret to him. Even though his Myriad Pill Palace had no intention of intervening in this matter, it didn't mean they couldn't befriend Lei Baiyu.

"Let me do this." Sixth Uncle nodded thoughtfully and took his transmission jade out, contacting someone.

The commotion earlier was like a wake-up call to everyone on the island. It was further confirmed that something big was about to happen soon. Those who unintentionally came to the Black Jade Island couldn't help but consider whether they should leave now. Staying here might not be a good choice.

In Zhou Qingyu's secret chamber, Yun Lintian was leisurely sipping coconut water under the gazes of Zhou Qingyu, Lei Feifei, Lei Jin, and Lei Zhenxiang.

He put the coconut down and asked. "Why does everyone look at me like that?"

Lei Feifei couldn't help asking. "Are you human?"

Yun Lintian was puzzled as he replied. "What do you mean by that, Sister Lei?"

"Didn't you kill the enemies alone?" Lei Feifei saw Yun Lintian nodding his head. She continued. "That's why I'm asking, are you really human?"

Yun Lintian immediately understood what Lei Feifei wanted to say. He shook his head and answered. "I was lucky. They obviously underestimated me. That allowed me to catch them off-guard. If they were more cautious, I would have to run."

"Cut it! Do you think I would believe it?" Lei Feifei said with dissatisfaction.

Yun Lintian shrugged his shoulders, unbothered to explain further. He knew his performance was too unbelievable, and it was difficult to explain.

"I'm curious. Where did you learn the formation art from? Even my Spiritual Sense cannot penetrate your isolating formation." Lei Zhenxiang asked curiously. He was deeply amazed by Yun Lintian's powerful formation art.

"From my master." Yun Lintian replied calmly.

"Your master?" Lei Zhenxiang asked in doubt. He had never heard about Yun Lintian's master before since there was no information from his investigation.

"My master is Mu Qiuxue. The one that everyone knows as a Snow Maiden." Yun Lintian responded. His answer made Lei Feifei and Zhou Qingyu roll their eyes as they knew it was a lie.

Lei Zhenxiang was oblivious to this. A trace of surprise appeared on his face as he asked. "Snow Maiden Mu? She's still alive?"

Yun Lintian nodded. "Yes."

Lei Zhenxiang took a deep breath and said. "That's good. I didn't expect you to be her disciple. This is truly coincident."

Yun Lintian was confused slightly by Lei Zhenxiang's words.

Lei Feifei seemed to think of something, and a playful smile appeared on her face as she looked at Yun Lintian, waiting to see a good show.

Lei Zhenxiang saw Yun Lintian's confused expression. He explained. "It's like this. Qiuxue is my good friend. I am really sorry for her. I couldn't protect her back then… Seriously, I didn't know before she's a formation master."

Yun Lintian was taken aback… Oh, shit! The lie has become more complicated now.
