Myth Beyond Heaven Chapter 286 -The Culprit (2)

Tian Jiuyi suddenly recalled it was indeed the case — Chu Mi did come to Yun Lintian’s side at that time. And if he remembered correctly, she had taken a glance at the formation diagram shortly. He saw this but didn’t care about it. After all, Chu Mi seemed to have a good relationship with Yun Lintian. It was hard to believe she would do anything that harmed everyone.

“She did come and even looked at the formation diagram.” Tian Jiuyi said calmly.

“You lie!” Chu Heng flared up. “You are obviously trying to flame her!… And even it is the case, when and how did Little Mi plant the trap? Can she, a little Spirit Profound Realm, manage to set up the trap under a powerful person like you without you knowing?”

Qin Yiran and others glanced at each other, did not know what was going on anymore. Chu Heng’s statement was not wrong. With Chu Mi’s strength, there was no way the peak of Origin Profound Realm like Tian Jiuyi to see nothing if she did something.

Meanwhile, Tian Jiuyi frowned and said nothing more. Without solid evidence, it was difficult to prove it.

On the contrary, Yun Lintian didn’t seem to be concerned about this. He looked at Chu Heng and said. “Please calm down first, Brother Chu. I’m not saying she’s the culprit. I’m just stating the fact that she had indeed seen the formation diagram.”

Chu Heng was calmed down a little. His chest was still up and down from anger, and he grabbed Chu Mi’s hand tightly, ready to bring her away if something happened.

Yun Lintian suddenly smiled and said. “However…. What if she is not Chu Mi that we know?”

Everyone was stunned and looked at Yun Lintian in confusion. Meanwhile, a strange light flashed across Chu Mi’s eyes as she looked at him.

Before Chu Heng could refute, Yun Lintian said further. “I have a way to prove it. If Brother Chu believes she’s innocent, why don’t you let her prove herself now?”

Chu Heng hesitated and was about to agree. Suddenly, he felt the grip on his hand became tightened, followed by a tremble. Obviously, Chu Mi was scared. 

Chu Heng’s eyes became determined, and said in a deep voice. “Please forgive me, Brother Yun. I believe she’s not the culprit, and I don’t think she needs to prove anything.”

Yun Lintian had already expected this reaction from him. He glanced at Chu Mi briefly and said. “As a brother, don’t you feel there’s something wrong with your sister?… During the earlier battle, I discovered she never used any profound art that I gave her. I wonder, why is it?”

Chu Heng’s complexion abruptly changed as he recalled it was true, as Yun Lintian said. The profound art Yun Lintian gave him, and Chu Mi had a unique characteristic. It could be said, in this world, only he and Chu Mi could use it. However, during this period, he didn’t see Chu Mi use it once. She had performed a simple move throughout the battle.

At first, Chu Heng thought it was because Chu Mi wanted to hide her strength, but it didn’t seem to be the case because why would she do this when her life was on the line? Furthermore, according to her personality, she would never do something like that… The only possibility was that she couldn’t use it at all!

Chu Heng suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. He wanted to shake his hand off, but he discovered Chu Mi’s strength had increased tremendously. 

“Hehehe… Although I have expected this flaw would be discovered by you sooner or later, I didn’t think it would be this fast… Hahaha! You are truly an interesting boy, Yun Lintian.” The previous Chu Mi’s gentle voice was now replaced by a cold and hoarse voice that gave everyone’s heart chilled.

Yun Lintian’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Chu Mi, who was still hiding behind Chu Heng. He spoke coldly. “If I’m not mistaken, you should be a Saint Profound Beast similar to Abyssal Devourer, am I correct?… I must say, your morphing ability is beyond my expectation. I never thought you could actually conceal yourself from my Eyes of Heaven.”

“So that eyes sorcery is called Eyes of Heaven? Heh, it’s not a bad name.” Chu Mi slowly stepped out from Chu Heng’s behind. Her eyes were full of contempt, and there was a hint of mockery on the corner of her lips. Her hand tightly grasped Chu Heng’s neck, preventing him from escaping.

When everyone saw Chu Mi’s current appearance, they were shocked and immediately took the battle stances. They didn’t expect the traitor they were looking for was actually this soft and gentle-looking girl.

“W… where did you take Little Mi to?” Chu Heng spoke with difficulty. His eyes turned bloodshot as he struggled to look at this ‘Chu Mi.’

“That pitiful girl? Hehe, where do you think she is now?” ‘Chu Mi’ chuckled teasingly. “By the way, I have to thank you for protecting me. I’m so touched… Haha!”

“Y… You! I’ll kill you!” Chu Heng struggled hard to break off from Chu Mi’s grasp when he thought of the possibility of the real Chu Mi’s demise, but it was futile. 

At this moment, Yun Lintian said. “Relax, Brother Chu. Chu Mi should be safe right now.”Discover n𝒆w chapt𝒆rs 𝒐n no𝒗elbi𝒏(.)com

‘Chu Mi’ was surprised and looked at Yun Lintian with an interesting expression. “Oh? Why did you think so?”

“Simple. You have probably read Chu Mi’s memory and found she has a good relationship with me. Instead of killing her, I believe you would rather keep her as a bargaining chip.” Yun Lintian stared at ‘Chu Mi’ coldly. “Just like you are taking Brother Chu as a hostage right now.”

‘Chu Mi’ squinted her eyes and burst into laughter. “Aren’t you too naïve? Do you really think I need to do that? As for capturing this ‘brother’ of mine, I just find it funny. That’s all.”

Facing her mockery, Yun Lintian’s expression did not change in the slightest. On the contrary, a smile appeared on his face as he said. “Of course, you need to do this because you are afraid of me.”

Yun Lintian’s words did stun not only Chu Mi but also everyone on the scene.
