Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Lintian stood on the place for an extended period, pondering over something. He started to hesitate whether he should set a killing formation in this place. What if Rain Woman mistook him as her enemy? With her unprecedented high strength, he wouldn't have known how he died.

When he left the Rain Village, Yun Lintian planned to set up a killing formation here to deal with Wu Tianwei. Of course, he didn't intend to become the enemy of the Mystic Pavilion but rather prepared for the worst scenario. If Wu Tianwei was hostile to him, he wouldn't mind activating the killing formation.

At the same time, he could use this chance to observe Rain Woman. After all, it was rare to meet such a master here. Perhaps he could learn one or two things just by looking at her.

Without thinking further, Yun Lintian began to arrange the killing formation around the hill.

While Yun Lintian was busy in the Rain Village, Wu Tianwei sat opposite Yan Guangming with a rare serious expression on his face. He seemed to worry about something.

"Why did she choose to come back at this moment?" Wu Tianwei muttered with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.

Yan Guangming took a sip of tea and expressed his opinion. "Usually Eldest Miss won't return unless there's something big happened. The news about Poison Valley appearing on the Northern Continent has been coming out recently. Perhaps it has something to do with this."

Wu Tianwei frowned. "It shouldn't be, right? According to her personality, it's impossible for her to have a deep attachment with those people. I'm afraid it's something else."

Yan Guangming put the teacup down and said with a smile. "There's no need to be upset, Third Young Master. With Eldest Miss's rebellious trait, inheriting Mystic Pavilion is almost impossible. You still have a high chance… Instead of worrying about her, I believe you should pay attention to Second Young Master more."

"Him?" Wu Tianwei sneered disdainfully. "He's too young to compete with me."

"Don't underestimate him. He might look carefree on the outside, but his heart is darker than you could imagine. Although there's a rule that I, as an elder, cannot interfere with the competition between all of you, telling you this should not be counted as violating the rule." Yan Guangming paused for a moment and continued. "Second Young Master has secretly gathered a lot of scattered forces around the continent. One of them is Black Wing Mercenary Group." 

Wu Tianwei's complexion changed drastically upon hearing this. "Is it true, Elder Yan?"

Yan Guangming brought the teacup to his mouth and nodded his head slightly.

Wu Tianwei lowered his head and pondered over this matter. Black Wing Mercenary Group was one of the most famous mercenary groups in the world. Their business mainly involved in transportation between the continent. If Second Young Master, Wu Mingke, had successfully recruited them under his wings, as Yan Guangming said, Wu Tianwei simply had no way to compete with him. At least, not at the moment.

"How did he do it?" Wu Tianwei muttered as if he was asking himself.

Yan Guangming smiled faintly and decided to give Wu Tianwei a hint. "Floating Metal mine."

"Ludicrous!" Wu Tianwei blurted out. Incredulity was written all over his face. "Has he gone insane for the sake of winning the position? This will bring no good to our pavilion."

Yan Guangming said nothing and calmly sipped the tea. It was true that he was the Second Elder of the Mystic Pavilion. However, he actually didn't have much voice as people outside think. In order to prevent internal corruption, the Mystic Pavilion leader had deprived all the authority of the elders and gave them to his descendants. Hence, these elders simply had no choice but to choose one among these descendants to support.

Wu Tianwei panted angrily and forcibly to calm himself down a short moment later. He patted his forehead and said helplessly. "No wonder he could win Black Wing… Did father know about this?"

Yan Guangming nodded his head slightly.

"And he didn't say anything?" Wu Tianwei felt weird about this. According to his father's temperament, he couldn't stay on the side and did nothing after knowing this. He thought for a moment and asked again. "Maybe this is a test?"

An appreciative smile appeared on Yan Guangming's face. It seemed he didn't choose the wrong person to support. Wu Tianwei naturally had some flaws, but who in the world didn't? What he appreciated about Wu Tianwei the most was the ability to stay calm and read the situation well. At the same time, Wu Tianwei had also put the pavilion's benefits first. The future of the Mystic Pavilion could not go wrong with a leader like him.

Wu Tianwei tapped on the table, thinking about breaking this situation. A moment later, his eyes lit up as an idea appeared in his mind. He curled his lips and said. "Since he used the Floating Metal mine to exchange… Why don't I just take it away?"

"When do you want to start it, Third Young Master?" Yan Guangming didn't ask the plan in detail, as he could roughly guess about it.

"We will do it right away after we are done with the matter here." Wu Tianwei took a sip of tea and said with a confident smile. "I haven't seen my sister for a long time."

Rumble—

As Wu Tianwei's voice fell, the sky suddenly darkened, accompanied by thunder roarings. Raindrops gradually fell down and transformed into a downpour, covering the entire region.

Wu Tianwei and Yan Guangming looked at each other and abruptly stood up. "Let's go."

***

At this moment, Yun Lintian had almost completed the killing formation. When he saw the sky darken, he immediately stopped his movement and involuntarily looked over at the top of the hill.

The scene that appeared in Yun Lintian's sight caused him to stun on the spot as he saw a tall woman in a plain azure robe slowly descend from the sky and land on the top of the hill. 

An azure-colored paper umbrella was blocking half of her face, making Yun Lintian unable to take a good look at her. However, Yun Lintian could feel that she was actually looking at him at this moment.

"Finally, you are here. I've been waiting for you for a long time.." A pleasant voice suddenly drifted into Yun Lintian's ears, causing his mind to go blank.
