Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 368 - Sentiment



Nangong Xi went silent for a while before saying. "Don't worry. I'll help you take care of Starry Hall."

Hong Wuya took a deep look at Nangong Xi and said sincerely. "Thank you." He wanted to say more, but he knew it was unnecessary.

On the side, Gu Yi looked at the two and chose to remain silent. Outsiders might not know, but he was well aware of the sentiments between them. 

In the past, Nangong Xi, Hong Wuya, and his wife were good friends growing up together. They went through a lot of hardships, and the bonds between them weren't something ordinary people could understand.

Later, it was said both Nangong Xi and Hong Wuya's wife had fallen for Hong Wuya at the same time. In the end, Hong Wuya got together with his wife. Although polygamy was common in this world, Hong Wuya did not intend to make Nangong Xi his other wife as he felt it was half-heart by doing so.

Despite being left out, Nangong Xi didn't get angry and even gave them a blessing. Their relationships didn't change much, and they remained good friends until the day Hong Wuya's wife died under the Northern Sea Lord's hand. 

Since then, Hong Wuya was immersed in a path of revenge, and he repeatedly rejected help from Nangong Xi. This made their relationship stiff as if there was an invisible wall separating them.

Seeing the atmosphere turned heavy for a period, Gu Yi finally spoke. "By the way, why hasn't Yun Lintian come out yet? Shouldn't he leave the maze by now?"

A frown appeared on Nangong Xi and Hong Wuya's faces. They glanced toward the training ground entrance and didn't see any spatial activity on the gate. 

"What is this brat doing there?" Hong Wuya said. 

Nangong Xi shrugged her shoulders slightly. "Maybe he's waiting for Wang Jue."

She didn't know that her speculation was on point. Yun Lintian was currently sitting nearby the stone gate and looked around from time to time, waiting for Wang Jue to show up.

However, he had forgotten that Wang Jue didn't have Eyes of Heaven like him. It was impossible for him to reach here this fast.

"How come my brain doesn't work well now?" Yun Lintian patted his forehead. He then took out the transmission jade and contacted others.

"Brother Yun, I found Brother Yang here. He seems to overdraw his mental power." Chu Heng's voice rang out from the other side.

"Really? Well, at least he's still alive." Yun Lintian was relieved hearing this. "Can you send him out? It's okay if you don't want to leave this place for now. However, I can't guarantee you won't meet Wang Jue's men. Before Yang Chen disappeared, he told me his opponent was powerful."

"Then… I will leave right away with Little Mi." Chu Heng thought for a moment and said. To him, it didn't matter whether he could clear this maze. It didn't affect his growth much.

"Alright. Thank you." Yun Lintian responded. 

After exchanging the information with his group, Yun Lintian took a bed out, preparing to take a nap. He felt he had spent too much of his mental power trying to maintain Eyes of Heaven for all this time, and it somehow affected his thinking ability.

Afterward, Yun Lintian set a few formations up and slept directly. 

While Yun Lintian was sleeping, Wang Jue was currently wandering around the eighth ring. He would constantly glance at an exquisite compass in his hand as he walked. This compass seemed to have the ability to perceive the direction of energy flow. 

This compass was personally made by his brother, Wang Jun. Because of it, he had reached this place within a short time.

"Found it." A while later, Wang Jue had arrived before a path toward the ninth ring. He decided to take a rest and contacted his group. 

However, except for Chi Xiong, he couldn't contact Zhou Hang and Li Na. It seemed both of them had already left this place.

"Trash!" Wang Jue cursed. He didn't expect his underlings would be this weak. 

After calming down, he put the transmission jade away and moved through the path, officially entering the ninth ring.

Compared to Yun Lintian, Wang Jue's luck was relatively bad. The moment he stepped into the ninth ring, a powerful killing trap was immediately activated. Countless sharp lights hovered in the air and shot toward him madly.

A long sword instantly appeared in Wang Jue's hand. He snorted coldly and waved his sword toward the incoming attack. 

A red light flashed and formed a defensive barrier around Wang Jue's body. When the sharp rays touched the red barrier, they had instantly disappeared as if nothing had happened before.

Wang Jue glanced at the compass and estimated the trap's source before rushing toward it. He swiftly destroyed the trap's source and looked around for a while to confirm there were no other traps here.

"What a pity. I didn't meet Yun Lintian here." Wang Jue was disappointed thinking of this. He came here for two purposes — clearing this place and killing Yun Lintian. Looked like he couldn't achieve the second purpose.

"Never mind. Better take the first place first." Wang Jue quickly followed in the direction the compass pointed at.

An hour later, Wang Jue managed to reach the end of the ninth ring. A smirk appeared on his face as he said. "Hehe. Jiang Yingyue oh Jiang Yingyue. I'm going to break your record now."

Unlike Yun Lintian, Wang Jue was well aware the record would be counted when he reached the final ring. With his current record, he could already imagine how people would react. His fame would definitely soar to heaven in one go.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Wang Jue firmly passed through the path toward the final destination. A while later, he faintly saw a spacious space at the end of the path. He couldn't help increase his pace and step into the garden.

At this moment, Yun Lintian suddenly opened his eyes. He turned his head toward the direction alarm formation signaled him.. When he saw Wang Jue's figure appear in the garden, the corner of his mouth curled up into an evil grin.
