Chapter 235 Cooperation (Part Two)
Elder Guan reached out his hand to stop the bull by its horn. A small black herbal pot showed up on his palm. The herbal pot
swelled when it met wind and expanded one hundred times. It then wrapped a violent vital energy force around the three-eyed
scarlet bull, rumbling and rolling the beast in the air.
Austin was looking up as he watched the earthshaking battle from afar. It was a battle that made the sun give forth no more of its
light and the mountains collapsed. He swallowed and thought to himself, 'Is this the battle between Mysterious Realm
cultivators? It's dazzling. The Earth Realm cultivators are nothing compared to the Mysterious Realm cultivators. They are too
lame.'
The cultivators exhausted their mysterious skill as they continued to fight in the air. Thunderous sounds were echoing the place.
Strong lights of different colors were bursting out from time to time. Even the word magnificent wasn't enough to describe the
beautiful sky at that time.
... ... ... ...
"Excuse me for interrupting you," said the Chief Elder as he suddenly backed off quickly. What he said was just a plain sentence
and yet it thundered the sky and the ground. He raised his head in a majestic way and added, "I guess that you are also trying to
figure out how to break the defense of the Cloud Cave.
However, as the defense of Cloud Cave was designed by Great Sage Cloud himself, which cannot be underestimated, it must be
very difficult to break.
How about this? I suggest we cooperate to break the defense of the cave together.
Three of us from Medicine Sect, together with you two, the Lion King and Brother Bull. We have equivalent cultivation bases of
Mysterious Realm. Moreover, we also paid a high price to invite a three-staged array expert, Master Yuan, to help us to break the
defense of Cloud Cave.
Believe me, with strengths of five cultivation bases of Mysterious Realm and array knowledge of Master Yuan, through brutal
force or by strategy, I'm sure we will be able to break the defense.
What do you think?"
"A three-staged array expert?"
The Purple Flaming Lion King and the three-eyed scarlet bull all looked down. They saw an old man who was wearing grey. He
was obviously the expert who was invited by the Medicine Sect since the disciples of the Sect were all wearing black.
On the ground, the three-staged array expert, Master Yuan, felt the gazes from the two six-staged diabolic beasts in the mid-air.
He couldn't help but feel fear. Although he was a master of array knowledge, his cultivation on vital energy was only in the
medium stage of Earth Realm. He knew that it would be very easy for those two six-staged diabolic beasts in the air to kill him if
they wanted to.
"Is he the three-staged array expert?"
The Purple Flaming Lion King moved his huge lion head to one side as his thunderous voice rolled through in the mid-air.
"Yes. He is one of the most brilliant array experts in our country. He made a profound study on array.
We did pay a high price and made a significant sacrifice to invite him to come with us.
If my guess is right, you must have spent several days here, studying how to break the defense of Cloud Cave.
If that's the case, why don't we cooperate?" said the Chief Elder of the Medicine Sect sincerely. He had gauged that they would
never win their battle against the Purple Flaming Lion King and the three-eyed scarlet bull when the two were working together.
The situation would be worse if another strong person knew about the cave while they spent their time fighting with these two
diabolic beasts.
The Great Sage Cloud was a famous holly-staged strong cultivator who lived a thousand years ago. Since he was so well-
known, more and more strong humans would rush to the cave once they learned about its location.
There would be more competitors once that happened and that would slim down their chance of getting the treasure.
The Purple Lion King and three-eyed scarlet bull remained quiet after hearing the suggestion. They quickly exchange glances as
if asking each other.
The Chief Elder was right. The Purple Flaming Lion King and the three-eyed scarlet bull had indeed known about the Cloud
Cave half a year ago.
They had been trying to break the defense of the Cloud Cave since. They had tried everything they could to do it but failed.
These two diabolic beasts might have supreme strength, but it was not enough. The delicate array protecting the place wouldn't
break even if they used brute force.
They had spent the past half year exhausting their skills but they failed.
Thus, they were tempted upon hearing what the Chief Elder offered. They were getting tired of dealing with the array of that
cave.
There would be a bigger possibility for them to break the cave's defense if they could get help from the level three array expert.
"How will we deal with those treasures in the cave if we cooperate with you and successfully entered the Cloud Cave?" asked
the three-eyed scarlet bull as he looked at the Chief Elder with his scarlet eyes.
"Simple. We will split them into two parts, 50 to 50. Since the Great Sage Cloud was a very popular strong man a thousand years
ago, I believe that he must have left a lot of treasures. It should be way more sufficient for us to distribute.
Besides, the main purpose of our visit is to get the powerful crystal. We don't care about the rest of the treasures because they
are useless to us. Thus, you can just take them if you like."
The Chief Elder seemed very generous when he spoke.
The Purple Flaming Lion King and three-eyed scarlet bull looked at each other. They had been working together for half a year.
Thus, they already had an agreement.
Reading each other's mind, both of them decided to pretend to cooperate first. They would make further movements about their
plan once they successfully entered the cave.
"Okay then. In that case, we will cooperate with you human being once.
But I have to warn you not to play any tricks on us. Otherwise, don't blame me for tearing you into pieces.
Human is the most cunning species after all," roared the Purple Flaming Lion King.
The Chief Elder was overjoyed upon convincing the two diabolic beasts.
"Well, don't worry about that since we aren't well-matched in strength. It won't be a smart choice for us to play tricks against you."
The Purple Flaming Lion King let out a heavy sneer.
However, it was still a good thing that both sides finally agreed to cooperate.
