Spirits began to rise all around as the thunder coming from the six pillars grew louder and louder.
"Just hang on a bit longer, the formations are nearly down.!"
Master Yuan, whose cultivation base has to be at least on the premium stage of Earth Realm was also
attacking one of the pillars along with other disciples. By coincidence, Austin happened to be standing
beside him.
Finally, to their delight, cracks began to form in the pillars. At the same time, a noise, an incessant
ringing, accompanied those cracks. And after a moment, those cracks started to increase and grow
larger.
Finally, when the scale of those cracks was large enough, a huge explosion resounded in the air.
Boom!
The six pillars of the defense formation burst together, turned into powdery dust which scattered all
around. Several of their pieces did not break down completely and were hurled around in the form of
stones.
Some of the disciples, especially those whose movement skills were not quite developed and had
lower cultivation bases were hit by the stones and hurt badly in continuous screams. However, no one
was fatally injured.
Finally, when the powder completely disappeared, the place where those pillars had been standing
began to twist and turn, rippling into different shades of light in front of the surprised crowd.
Suddenly, they saw that a magnificent and elegant bronze gate with animal rings hung over it had
gradually emerged in front of them.
It was the gate of the Cloud Cave!
For a moment, nobody moved and they all gazed in awe at the magnificent gate which
the treasures left by the Great Sage Cloud were hidden behind. And those treasures are what they
came for.
"Let's go!"
Steward Meng of Medicine Sect was a very impatient person and didn't want to waste time gazing at a
stupid gate. The treasure he had come so far away for was right in front of him, how could he wait any
longer now!
He had been in front of the crowd and therefore, nearest to the gate. Reaching out with a single step,
he pushed it excitedly.
The gate slowly creaked open.
It was easy to open that bronze gate and it did so with a strident noise.
Waves of some foul, ancient smell came out from the opened door.
Steward Meng lifted his foot and was about to step inside.
Suddenly, he noticed that a crimson colored light flashed.
As a warrior at the Mysterious Realm, Steward Meng had mastered spiritual sense. Therefore, he
sensed that something was wrong and immediately fell back.
A pillar of bloody red light with immense vital energy hit the place where Steward Meng stood just now.
"Hey Mr. Bull! What the hell!"
Steward Meng knew that he would have been caught in that flash of light had he retreated a little
slower. And at that moment, he was so furious that he shouted at Three-eyed Scarlet Bull indignantly.
"Ha ha, I didn't mean any harm. But either everyone will enter that cave, or no one will. You humans
are the craftiest of all races, so I won't let you take advantage of it."
Three-eyed Scarlet Bull answered in a bell-like voice. And he looked at Steward Meng with a little tease
in his pupils.
Steward Meng got so furious that he pushed his palm upwards and a herbal pot appeared in his palm.
Enormous vital energy left his hands and entered the pot, which began to grow larger and larger.
"Don't push your luck! Do you think our Medicine Sect is a patsy? Do you think you can bully us
however, whenever, and wherever you like just because you fancy it? I am telling you that both of you
won't have the upper hand if we really get into a fight."
From the very beginning of this mission, Elder Guan had not been satisfied with the arrogant
expression of these two diabolic beasts. And flames of fury also rose up in his mind when he saw that
the Three-eyed Scarlet Bull had made a sneak attack when Steward Meng was about to enter the
cave.
The Purple Flaming Lion King sneered, its huge and icy cold pupils full of tease, staring at all the
people from Medicine Sect.
The two diabolic beasts had originally intended to monopolize the treasure of the Cloud Cave. But they
were unable to break its defending formation even though they had spent more than half a year trying
to do it. Therefore, they had no choice but to promise to work together with Medicine Sect.
And now, with those defenses broken down, the only obstacle between them and the treasure turned
into the Medicine Sect. Since their original idea was to monopolize the treasure, there had been no
reason for them to work together with those humans anymore.
Diabolic beasts had immense advantage when it came to physical strength. Their endurance and
physical powers were stronger than most of the humans. Unfortunately, the Chief Elder wasn't stronger
than they were. That was why the two diabolic beasts believed that they would have the upper hand if
they got into a fight with the humans.
Since diabolic beasts could not hide their emotion as well as human beings, their reactions were
usually hurried and impatient. The Three-eyed Scarlet Bull had launched an attack as soon as he found
that Steward Meng wanted to step into the gate first.
After studying the unkind gaze of the two diabolic beasts, the Chief Elder appraised the current
situation in his mind and immediately understood that the two diabolic beasts still wanted to monopolize
the treasures of the Cloud Cave.
It looked like they could not avoid a fight with these two diabolic beasts.
However, the opponents were pretty strong and he was afraid that the result would either not be in their
favor, or would take a long time to come out.
Therefore, the Chief Elder decided to enter the cave first instead of arguing with the two diabolic
beasts, so that they could figure the situation inside out, and the most important reason was that they
would have the chance to get the powerful crystal. At that time, their power would be strong enough to
win the probable fight. So, wasting time outside the cave wasn't a sensible action.
Avoiding the beasts' eyes, he winked at Elder Guan and Steward Meng as soon as he made his
decision.
"Ha ha, brother Bull, don't get angry. I think it's unnecessary for us to waste too much time outside the
cave. The most important thing right now is to enter the cave and figure out exactly what is inside and if
there are further defensive measures hidden in there.
