Myth Beyond Heaven

After taking a seat, Yun Lintian leisurely observed the hall while feeding Linlin a spirit tea. He could see Monarch-level protective and killing formations meticulously laid around in this place.

At this moment, five young women in fiery-red attires walked into the hall under the guidance of a servant. With a glance, Yun Lintian could identify their identity directly as the Divine Phoenix bloodline was evident.

They walked straight to Yun Lintian's table and respectfully saluted Nantian Jiyou and Nantian Fengyu. "Young Miss, Second Elder."

Nantian Fengyu glanced and them and nodded slightly without saying a word.

Meanwhile, Nantian Jiyou began to make an introduction. "Come, this is Young Master Yun Lintian. All of you should get acquainted with each other. You may need to cooperate with each other in the upcoming event."

The five Divine Phoenix Palace disciples were surprised slightly upon hearing this. Normally, the Divine Phoenix Palace was rarely interacting with men. Especially an outsider. Since Nantian Jiyou said this, there should be something special about this man.

The woman in the front nodded gently and greeted Yun Lintian politely. "Greetings, Young Master Yun. My name is Nantian Lingyan. Please give me guidance in the future."

Yun Lintian shook his head slightly. "I don't dare to give dignified Divine Phoenix Palace disciples guidance. Please take care of me in the future."

Nantian Lingyan smiled slightly and brought the other four to sit down behind Nantian Jiyou.

Nantian Fengyu was displeased to see this scene, but she didn't say anything out loud. She glared at Nantian Lingyan fiercely and ignored her, causing the latter to be dumbfounded… Why did Young Miss become so fierce at me?

At this time, a large group of people gradually walked into the hall. Leading in the front was Tong Liya, followed by Wan Zishan, Xue Lou'er, and Situ Yuanzhi. Each one of them was accompanied by a few elders and their juniors.

Upon seeing Nantian Jiyou, they quickly greeted her.

"It's been a while, Elder Nantian." A middle-aged woman clad in a plain robe smiled kindly. He was the First Elder of the Plum Mountain Sect, Tong Wanyu.

"Indeed, it's been a while. Elder Nantian is still splendid as usual." A bulky middle-aged man laughed loudly without caring. His name was Situ Wuyou, the First Elder of the Great Earth Sect.

"This old man greets Elder Nantian and Divine Phoenix True Inheritor." An old man with a long sword behind his back politely greeted Nantian Jiyou and Nantian Fengyu. He had an unmatched temperament, seemingly detached from the world. His name was Wen Zizai, the Supreme Elder of the Eternal Sword Sect, as well as Wen Zishan's uncle.

On the side, a charming woman in a blue robe covered her mouth and laughed gently. "All of you didn't change in the slightest over the years." She turned to Nantian Jiyou and said softly. "Sister Jiyou."

Similar to the other three, she was the First Elder of the Driftsnow Pavilion. Her name was Xue Suzhu.

Nantian Jiyou politely replied. "I didn't expect all of you to come here personally. Please take a seat first, and we will discuss plans late."

Everyone nodded and went to their respective tables after greeting Zhou Chong and Zhou Ye.

"Since all the guests have already arrived, this humble one should not delay the banquet further. Serve the food!" Zhou Chong said calmly and signaled the servants.

As the food was served, Zhou Chong went straight to the point. "As everyone is aware of the situation, this humble one would like to ask everyone. What do you think about this incident?"

Situ Wuyou was a straightforward person. He expressed his thought directly. "What else? It must be someone pretending to be mysterious. This time, we will send our elite disciples over. Let's see how this person is going to do."

Zhou Ye, who sat beside his father, nodded slightly. He held the same opinion as Situ Wuyou. No matter how powerful that mysterious person was, he wouldn't be able to deal with a group of elites alone.

"This old man thinks different from Elder Situ," Wen Zizai, who usually said a few words, suddenly spoke. "From the clue we have currently, this person is clearly aiming at our disciples. More precisely, he aims at our sects. Throughout the entire Southern Continent, I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to provoke us at the same time."

Zhou Chong nodded in agreement. "It's indeed, as Elder Wen said. Don't mention the Southern Continent. I don't think anyone in this world would dare to do it… Unless…"

"Unless he comes from a hidden force like Poison Valley." Tong Wanyu added. "According to the information, this person's appearance is aligned with those Poison Valley's remnants. And everyone here knows how vicious the Abyssal Poison is. I'm not surprised he could deal with our disciples at once."

"I also hold the same opinion as Sister Tong." Xue Suzhu said softly. "My disciples managed to send a message back. The mysterious person's profound art is contained a black aura. Without a doubt, it should be the Abyssal Poison."

"Oh? Why don't you tell us earlier?" Situ Wuyou frowned as he looked at Xue Suzhu in dissatisfaction.

Xue Suzhu didn't care about him. She replied. "We want to verify the credential of the message first before telling everyone. After all, the Poison Valley is not a small matter. It would cause a panic among the people if the news spread out."

"Hmph!" Situ Wuyou snorted coldly. He didn't seem to believe in her words.

"Poison Valley." Zhou Chong muttered with a grim expression. "The latest news I heard about them was last month. The fallen of the Western Continent's Overlord, Tianqi Zongwei, is likely to have something with them… It seems they are preparing to make a comeback soon."

As Tianqi Zongwei was mentioned, the expressions of the elders changed slightly. They also got the news about this, but the details were unclear. After all, not everyone possessed a powerful intelligence network like the Divine Phoenix Palace.

Nantian Jiyou glanced at Yun Lintian through the corner of her eyes and saw the latter was calm and composed. If she didn't know beforehand, she would believe that he had nothing to do with the incident.
