Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2429: Quarrel



As He Chong and the other Ancient True Gods were surprised by Lu Jiye's words, an unbearable pressure suddenly descended, making it difficult for them to breathe.

"Heh. You finally came back, huh?" Yue Yun's cold voice echoed as she slowly descended from the sky and landed a few meters away from Yun Lintian.

She looked him over and continued, "I thought you would lose some legs and arms. Surprisingly, you didn't lose anything, but you've also made no progress. It seems you've been slacking off for these five years."

Yun Lintian was speechless, and he was too lazy to explain.

"We were trapped by a woman named Tantai Xue. She used the Law of Order," Hongyue spoke up.

Yue Yun's eyes flickered with coldness. "Tantai Xue? How could all of you survive?"

"You know her?" Yun Lintian asked in surprise.

Yue Yun didn't reply but continued to stare at Hongyue, waiting for her explanation. "Someone helped us. He's Jian Yun," Hongyue replied.

"Jian Yun... The Fleeting Cloud Sword Emperor Jian Yun?" Yue Yun asked in surprise.

"Yes. It's him. But this should be his true self," Hongyue said.

Yue Yun frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Lu Jiye kept staring at Yue Yun from the moment she appeared. For some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity from her aura.

"Are you a member of the Divine Moon God Clan?" Lu Jiye asked.

Yue Yun glanced at him and said, "So what?"

"It's nothing. I've never seen you before. Your aura has far surpassed the Priestess of the Moon herself. It's too strange for me," Lu Jiye said, shaking his head.

Yue Yun raised her brow slightly and turned to Yun Lintian. "Why did you bring these useless people here?"

Lu Jiye and the other Ancient True Gods were taken aback, but they didn't say anything, even though they were angry.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Why do you have a prejudice against them?" Yun Lintian asked with a frown.

Yue Yun curled her lips. "Don't you know that most of the True Gods who stayed inside the God Tomb are cowards?"

"Young miss, you should watch your words," the female Ancient True God said coldly.

Yue Yun turned to look at her with a cold smile. "Watch my words? What's wrong? Did I say anything wrong?"

Yue Yun's aura surged, and the female Ancient True God's face turned ghastly pale. She felt as though the surrounding space had compressed, leaving her no room to move.

"That should be enough," Yun Lintian said coldly.

Yue Yun frowned slightly and retracted her aura. "Do you really think they will help you wholeheartedly? If I'm not mistaken, they must have gone to the Ancient Battlefield to find a way to obtain the legacies of their clans and masters."

"And what's wrong with that?" Yun Lintian asked.

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. But are you aware of their past?" Yue Yun said with a faint smile, but her eyes were incomparably cold. "Think about it. If they had simply escaped death, how would they know where to find the legacies of their clans?"

Yun Lintian immediately understood something and turned to look at the Ancient True Gods. "Did you participate in the demise of your people?"

Lu Jiye and the other Ancient True Gods lowered their heads and remained silent.

Yue Yun laughed slightly when she saw this. "Perhaps you thought your strength was enough to deal with them now that you didn't have to be cautious. That's why you brought them here... Have you ever considered that without me here, they could easily kill everyone?"

Her eyes grew incomparably cold as she continued, "These people could even abandon their families and friends and watch them die without doing anything. What makes you think they would help you fight for the Primal Chaos?"

Yun Lintian had nothing to say. He was indeed wrong. It wasn't that he was naive, but rather that he needed more allies. Since he learned about the existence of the creatures beyond the wall, he instinctively sought more helpers. These Ancient True Gods were the most suitable people he could find.

He Chong knew it was impossible to explain themselves. He looked at Yun Lintian and cupped his fists. "Thank you, Young Master Yun. I think it's better for us to leave."

Before Yun Lintian could say anything, Yue Yun said coldly, "Leave? You've already learned our secret. Do you think you can leave?"

A terrifying murderous aura instantly enveloped He Chong and the others, causing them to turn pale.

Yun Lintian took a deep breath and said, "Although they were indeed wrong in the past, they could be given a second chance."

Yue Yun rolled her eyes. "Second chance? They deserve it?" she said sarcastically.

Yun Lintian turned to He Chong and the other Ancient True Gods. "Seniors, I am willing to trust you, but my people have different opinions. I have two choices for you. First, I can let you leave, but you must accept a brand on your soul from me. Second, you can stay here and accept a brand on your soul."

"There is a third option," Yue Yun added with a cold smile. "Death."

He Chong exchanged glances with the other Ancient True Gods, and they seemed to come to an agreement.

He looked at Yun Lintian and said, "We choose the second option."

Yue Yun narrowed her eyes. She wanted to see what kind of tricks they were going to play.

He Chong continued, "We are indeed cowards, and because of this, we have to fight in this battle. There are no other options for us to survive."

"You do have a choice - joining Fan Shen," Yue Yun said coldly.

He Chong shook his head. "Back then, our families and friends were killed by the people of the God of Heaven and the God of Mortals. It's impossible for us to join them."

He took a step forward and continued, "You can search my soul."

Yue Yun curled her lips and pointed her finger at He Chong's head. "You said it yourself. Don't

blame me."

With a flash, a streak of moonlight shot into He Chong's forehead, reaching his soul.

A moment later, Yue Yun took a deep look at him and said, "Heh. I didn't expect you to still

have some backbone."

She turned to Yun Lintian and said, "He's fine."
