Myth Beyond Heaven

Guchang went silent for a short moment before explaining. "For the first appearance of the Abyssal Poison, we have to trace it back to four thousand years ago. At that time, countless profound beasts with Abyssal Poison appeared in this world out of nowhere and ran amok all over the place."

"They killed a lot of humans and enslaved us, half-human, half-beast. Some of them had been transformed into the same kind of them by injecting the Abyssal Poison into them directly. Later, my grandfather joined forces with other patriarchs to resist them."

Guchang closed his eyes in pain. "With the lead of the Azure Palace, we successfully destroyed them in the end… However, my grandfather suffered a fatal injury and lost his life along with the matriarchs of the Heavenly Fox Clan, the Deep Sea Naga Clan, and the patriarchs of the Golden Python Clan, the Fire Cloud Rat Clan."

"Since then, we have never encountered the Abyssal Poison again, even though we're aware of the Poison Valley."

Yun Lintian nodded his head gently. The story was aligned with everything he had heard before. He also noticed that Guchang didn't seem to know the true definition of Abyssal Poison.

He thought for a moment and decided to explain it. "Senior, this Abyssal Poison is actually not a poison, but a kind of dark attribute energy. We called it Abyssal Energy. It can interfere with the profound beast's mind and cause it to go berserk. If the humans got it, they would die in a short time."

Guchang opened his eyes and looked at Yun Lintian in surprise. He couldn't help asking. "Where did you learn all of this from?"

"It's my Master who taught me." Yun Lintian tossed everything to his imaginary master.

Guchang praised. "Your esteemed master must be an extraordinary figure among the top experts in this world."

Yun Lintian smiled and changed the topic. "Senior, we have to inform everyone as soon as possible to prevent them from taking the Abyssal Energy."

"You're right." Guchang nodded. He closed his eyes, and his Spiritual Sense quickly enveloped the entire village. In the next moment, his voice resounded in all the villagers' minds. "Everyone, I've discovered the Abyssal Poison in a beast behind our village. I believe everyone knows what it means. Next, we will form a team to search for it. I'll leave this matter to Chun and Lun."

Guchang's words immediately caused a huge commotion among the villagers. They were aware of the seriousness of this matter and quickly checked all the ingredients they got today. At the same time, two teams were formed under the leadership of the men named Chun and Lun. They quickly spread out and searched for the trace of Abyssal Energy around the village.

"Little Brother Mu, I've seen your method earlier…." Guchang said.

Yun Lintian quickly replied. "The Abyssal Energy can be dealt with by the Profound Spirit Liquid. However, it depends on how strong the Abyssal Energy is. A higher grade Profound Spirit Liquid is required for the higher degree of power of Abyssal Energy."

"I see." Guchang was enlightened. Unfortunately, he didn't have any Profound Spirit Liquid here. Dealing with Abyssal Energy was still a big problem for him.

Suddenly, Yun Lintian handed a big jar of Profound Spirit Liquid to Guchang and said. "Senior can use it for the emergency case."

"This…." Guchang was stunned and soon turned embarrassed. Yun Lintian helped him again and again to the point he didn't know how to repay this debt of gratitude anymore.

Yun Lintian placed the jar on the table and said. "Senior needed it more than me. You can take it at ease."

"Alright!" Guchang wasn't a hypocrite. He immediately accepted Yun Lintian's kindness.

"Village Head, you have to see this by yourself." Chun's voice suddenly resounded within the room.

Guchang quickly stood up and headed out, followed by Yun Lintian and Fan.

Soon, they arrived at the village's square and saw a two-horned man pressed to the ground by the villagers.

"You better release me. Otherwise, my young master will definitely kill all of you." The two-horned man threatened while struggling.

"Hmph! Let him come then!" The stout villager snorted coldly. This person was Chun, the village's guard captain.

Guchang frowned and walked to Chun. "What's going on?"

Chun respectfully greeted Guchang and explained. "When we searched the nearby, we found him lurking around and releasing some captured beasts. Village Head can look at that."

Guchang followed Chun's gaze and discovered a group of medium-sized beasts lying on the ground. When he took a look closer, his expression immediately turned cold as he found the Abyssal Energy in their bodies.

Guchang came to the two-horned man's side and said coldly. "Who told you to do this? Is it Hongniu Wei?"

The two-horned man immediately shut his mouth tightly, refusing to say anything.

A cold sneer appeared at the corner of Guchang's mouth. "It's fine if you don't want to say anything. I have countless ways to make you speak… However, I think it is too troublesome."

The two-horned man let out a chuckle upon hearing this. He was quite sure Guchang was nothing more than trying to intimidate him. However, Guchang's following sentence instantly made his entire body turn cold.

"You might not know this. Since that incident back then, the nine clans have set a punishment for those who colluded with the Poison Valley. I didn't expect that I, Guchang, would have the honor to witness the first person in the history receives the punishment from this agreement." Guchang said with a hint of excitement. He glanced at Chun and said further. "Contact the Sky Qilin Clan. Told them everything."

Chun suddenly smiled brightly and responded loudly. "Yes, Village Head!"

The two-horned man was so frightened. He didn't know before there was such a rule existed. He couldn't imagine what was waiting for him once given to the Sky Qilin Clan.

"I say it! I say it! Please don't send me to them! It's Third Young Master who told me to do this!" The two-horned man shouted in terror.

A cold glint flashed across Guchang's eyes upon hearing this. "So, it's really him."
