Myth Beyond Heaven

"You should let me out first." Mo Ke said. "I am nothing but a mere wisp of soul now. You can use this cage to lock me up at any time."

Xing Chen's eyes narrowed as he said. "Do you think you can bargain?"

Mo Ke chuckled in a relaxed manner. "As I told you before, it doesn't matter if you kill me. Do you think this is my last resort? If you think so, then you are very naïve."

Xing Chen stared into Mo Ke's eyes for a long time as if he wanted to find something before saying. "Fine."

He flicked his hand slightly, and the cage slowly opened.

Lan Cao's expression changed, and he wanted to stop Xing Chen, but the latter gave him a glance. He had no choice but to swallow the words back.

Mo Ke's soul quickly left the cage and transformed into a handsome young man.

"Now, let's talk." Xing Chen said calmly. Even though he knew Mo Ke's true identity, there wasn't a slight fluctuation in his eyes.

Mo Ke took a deep look at Xing Chen and said. "Unfortunately, you are born in this lowly world."

Xing Chen didn't say anything and calmly looked at Mo Ke.

"Do you know what this place is?" Mo Ke asked.

Xing Chen shook his head.

"This is one of the Beyond Heaven King's inheritances called the Golden Mountain." Mo Ke said. "Yun Lintian comes here for this purpose. Once he obtains it, his strength will definitely soar to another level. By then, you can only wait to be slaughtered by him."

Xing Chen asked. "What about the expert beside him?"

"She? You don't have to worry about her for the time being. She had spent a lot of her power to deal with me earlier. It will take her a long time to recover." Mo Ke said with a faint smile.

"I know where the core of this place is. Yun Lintian will eventually reach there. We better go there first and prepare to deal with him." He said further.

Xing Chen frowned slightly and asked. "Can we take the inheritance away?"

A sneer appeared on Mo Ke's face when he heard this. "Do you think I will sit here without doing anything if I can take it away? The Beyond Heaven King's inheritance isn't something anyone can obtain it."

"However," He paused briefly and continued. "We can do something to it. For example, sealing it."

He glanced at the golden cage in Xing Chen's hand and said. "This cage is not bad, though it's a low-grade divine artifact. Coupled with my method, there's a high chance of sealing the Golden Mountain. At that time, Yun Lintian wouldn't be able to take it away unless he killed all of us here."

"What about the traps here?" Xing Chen asked.

"Most of them are broken already." Mo Ke said with a confident smile. "As for the rest, I know how to pass them."

He thought for a moment and said. "With his strength, it will take him a month or two to reach the core. If you want to kill him, you better prepare well."

"Tell me the method." Xing Chen said calmly.

"Have you heard about the devil bloodline?" Mo Ke suddenly said. "Forget it. I better bring you to see it."

"Follow me." He looked at the path ahead and flew over.

Xing Chen frowned slightly and beckoned Lan Cao to follow.

"When Mo Ke appeared earlier, he seemed to be aware of my arrival beforehand. Could it be he had mastered the structure here?" Inside the hall, Yun Lintian said in doubt.

"It's possible," Hongyue said. "This hall doesn't seem to exist before, as far as I know. He built it here just to wait for you to appear. Obviously, he knew the structure of the first floor very well."

"Then he's likely to be the one who blocked the Golden Mountain's core." Yun Lintian said with a frown. "This is very troublesome. With the block, I cannot trace the direction. It will take a long time to find it."

If possible, Yun Lintian didn't want to waste his time here. After all, he didn't know when Yin Weizhe and the Poison Valley were going to launch the next attack. Even if he had made a preparation before coming here, it couldn't prevent him from stopping worrying.

Hongyue shrugged. "It cannot be helped. This is the only way."

Yun Lintian nodded and asked. "By the way, is it possible for this Mo Ke to have a trump card?"

He felt Mo Ke wasn't like any old monster he had imagined. Typically, someone who lived for a long time and stood at the top of the food chain like him would possess a deep mind. However, the way Mo Ke acted previously didn't align with it.

That was why Yun Lintian believed Mo Ke should have other trump cards.

"Naturally," Hongyue said as she glanced at the light ball in her hand. "He is one of the great devils, after all. It will be a joke if he can be dealt with easily like this."

"However, you don't have to worry about it much," Hongyue said further. "His soul imprint in my hand here is definitely the real one. Even if he did divide his soul and hid it somewhere else, it would take thousands of years for him to recover."

"Besides, he clearly cannot escape from this place. Once you take the Golden Mountain away, finding him will be as easy as flicking your finger."

"I see." Yun Lintian nodded slowly.

"You have to rely on yourself from now on. I cannot help you again. At least, for a few months." Hongyue said. "You should go to Qingxuan as soon as possible after leaving this place. Only she can deal with these devils."

"Alright." Yun Lintian responded while watching Hongyue and Lauya disappear into the gate.

"Are we moving, junior brother?" Nantian Fengyu asked.

Yun Lintian looked around the hall for one last time and said. "Let's go."
