Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 699 Natural Formation

"This… What…" Guchang was lost for a word. He was rich in experiences, yet this was the first time he saw such a perfect disguise technique.

Mu Qiuxue was no different. Although she was aware that Yun Lintian was human, it couldn't prevent her from getting shocked. If she had this technique, she didn't have to desperately escape from Du Huanfeng's palm and end up in this situation.

"Well, it's a long story. We will talk about it later." Yun Lintian looked around and continued to move forward.

"What happened after I left, Senior?" Yun Lintian asked.

Hearing this, Guchang's face turned gloomy. A deep hatred could be seen in his eyes as he spoke. "We did according to your proposed plan and slowly cleared the Abyssal beasts around the village. However, Du Huanfeng appeared out of nowhere and took the advantage while we recovered our strength."

His eyes turned red, and he was on the verge of crying. "In the end…."

Yun Lintian's heart became heavy after listening to this. He blamed himself for this incident. "I'm sorry, Senior. I harmed everyone."

Guchang shook his head. "It's not your fault. Du Huanfeng is colluding with Hongniu Wushang. Sooner or later, they will come to us. This has nothing to do with you."

Yun Lintian wanted to say something, but no words came out. He let out a sigh and went silent.

"Can you put me down?" Guchang was embarrassed by being carried by Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian nodded and put Guchang down. "I'll unseal Senior's profound strength later when we got out of this mist."

"You better do it now. His strength could play a good role if something happened." Mu Qiuxue interjected.

Yun Lintian thought for a moment and nodded. "Alright." He took the silver needles out and started to unseal Guchang's profound strength.

Before this, he was worried Du Huanfeng would catch up with him, but it seemed impossible to find each other in this white mist.

Ten minutes later, Guchang's profound strength gradually returned. After thanking Yun Lintian, he quickly woke his son up.

"Ugh…" Fan opened his eyes with difficulty. His head grew heavy, as though he had slept for ages.

"Father… Hmm? Brother Mu?" Fan was surprised to see Yun Lintian here. His gaze quickly swept the surroundings and paused at Mu Qiuxue. "What a beautiful sister… Are we in heaven?"

Guchang's face twitched. He wanted to give his son a good slap on the head, but he managed to hold back. "Cough… We're not dead yet."

"Ah? Why is everything here white then?" Fan was dumbfounded.

"Can you get up? We should move now." Yun Lintian urged.

"Oh? Okay." Fan quickly stood up.

"Stick close to me. Do not go out of this white sphere, understand?" Yun Lintian gave a warning.

Fan glanced at the white sphere around them and quickly hugged Yun Lintian's arm as if his life was in danger. "Understood, Brother Mu. I won't leave you."

Yun Lintian was speechless and could only helplessly walk forward.

Mu Qiuxue snickered. Although the current situation was serious, she couldn't help but feel funny.

Meanwhile, Guchang felt as though his head was about to explode. Why did he give birth to such a stupid son?

Yun Lintian's group walked for another half an hour, and they abruptly stopped at the place when they heard a rustling noise coming from the front.

"Did you hear it?" Yun Lintian asked in a low voice.

Guchang frowned and expressed his opinion. "This sound… It's like a sound of a large tree being blown by a strong wind."

Mu Qiuxue nodded in agreement.

Yun Lintian tried to probe with Spiritual Sense, but it was all the same—it could not penetrate the white mist. After pondering for a while, he decided to move directly. Anyway, there was no other way for him to choose.

The group walked for another hundred meters. The white mist around them suddenly rolled sideways, revealing a path of black soil ahead.

Yun Lintian quickly activated Eyes of Heaven to inspect the black soil. His expression changed immediately after seeing Abyssal Energy lingering inside it. "Be careful. There's Abyssal Energy on the ground."

Guchang was familiar with Abyssal Energy. He frowned and released a wisp of his profound energy. A small profound light shot straight into the black soil, and Abyssal Energy suddenly burst out, forming into a black mist.

As the black mist appeared, the surrounding white mist reacted violently and rushed to the black mist, trying to swallow it.

The bizarre scene caused Yun Lintian and others to look at each other in dismay… What was the origin of this white mist?

Soon, the black mist was thoroughly swallowed by the white mist, disappearing from everyone's sight.

"It seems this white mist is blocking the Abyssal Energy from spreading to the outside world." Mu Qiuxue expressed her thoughts.

Yun Lintian and Guchang were also holding the same opinion. They were even more curious about the origin of this white mist and who was the one behind it? They simply didn't believe it was a natural cause.

"The Abyssal Energy on the ground has also disappeared." Yun Lintian was surprised when he rechecked the ground.

"No wonder the Tree of Life could stay hidden for all these years. It's actually them." Hongyue's voice suddenly resounded.

"What do you mean?" Yun Lintian hurriedly asked.

"You will be surprised when you meet this place's guardian," Hongyue said mysteriously. "The white mist around you can be considered a formation. However, it is entirely different from the man-made formation you know. This one is created by a power of nature."

"Power of nature?" Yun Lintian was puzzled. "You mean the guardian of this place can mobilize the power of nature?"

"You're not entirely stupid." Hongyue curled her lips. "However, I won't give you a spoiler. Go and see by yourself."

Yun Lintian rolled his eyes annoyingly. This Hongyue knew everything but always kept it mysteriously.

He didn't think about it further and began to move forward. "Let's go."

Guchang and others followed suit. When they stepped onto the black soil land, the white mist seemed to move back a little, and a dread scenery immediately appeared before everyone.
