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.
