Chapter 1077 1077 - All for nothing?
"So… Lend Mind, this place where we're at is where the tomb is?"
A man behind the scrawny martial artist walked over. He had a haughty expression and a frightening aura as his eyes flashed with electric currents!
A sect badge hung on his waist with the words Zephyr Thunder.
The person who spoke was the legacy disciple of one of the nine immortal sects, Dark Thunder Sect – Goil Hon.
Goil Hon was also the leader of more than a thousand Dark Thunder Sect disciples who had entered the ancient battlefield!
The scrawny martial artist was the other legacy disciple of Tomb Sect this time round, Lend Mind!
Lend Mind withdrew a geomantic compass and started calculating. A moment later, he nodded. "There should be no mistake. This should be where the tomb is."
He glared down coldly at the formation of the terrain beneath him. Gradually, a look of realization flashed in his eyes as he nodded. "No wonder it's so secretive. It's the Astral Dragon's Lair!"
"Since we've located the tomb, let's head down," Goil Hon said.
"There's no need,"
Lend Mind shook his head. "The dragon vein here has already dispersed, meaning that someone has arrived before us. There's no need for us to barge in. We can just wait outside to collect the rewards."
"That works too,"
Goil Hon nodded and surveyed his surroundings, raising his voice intentionally, "The treasures in the tomb are secondary! There's a martial technique in there that I'm determined to get my hands on! Nobody shall fight me for it!"
"The legendary Purple Thunder Manual, right?"
Another voice sounded behind the two of them.
A man with a deathly aura arrived beside the two of them.
The person was extremely ugly with a pale face and purplish lips – he resembled the malevolent ghosts in Hell!
Behind him was a towering giant that was a full 30 feet tall.
The giant was draped tightly by a silver-white skin from head to toe such that even his nose and mouth were covered!
Even so, a faint rotting stench could still be smelled emanating from the giant.
The ugly man was the legacy disciple of Corpse Refinement Cult this time round, Shato Shin!
The giant behind him was his battle corpse!
Shato Shin said, "Do you think that I don't know? In the martial techniques passed down in Dark Thunder Sect, the reason why many powerful divine arts aren't able to be unleashed is because you guys lack the Purple Thunder Manual."
Goil Hon's eyes flashed with a hint of disdain as he said indifferently, "I'm sure you're not here solely for revenge huh, Brother Situ?"
"That martial artist of Puppet Sect murdered disciples of Corpse Refinement Cult! I definitely have to get my hands on him!"
Shato Shin remarked coldly, "I also want a share of the treasures in this tomb as well!"
"Young Master Lend Mind, I'm here with hundreds of disciples from my sect to assist you. Naturally, you have to give me my share of the treasures in the tomb as well."
Another martial artist draped in white robes stood out, looking graceful and extraordinary.
He was the legacy disciple of another of the nine immortal sects, Chaos Essence Sect – Niel Sen.
The leader of the Chaos Essence Sect disciples this time round was the top of the Martial Master Phenomenon Ranking who was publicly acknowledged as the number one Martial Master – John Din!
Naturally, against the reputation of John Din, it was easy to overlook Niel Sen.
However, in reality, Niel Sen was extremely strong and had trained the legacy phenomenon of Chaos Essence Sect. If not for a monster incarnate like John Din, he would have been the leader of the Chaos Essence Sect disciples!
Lend Mind smiled faintly. "Everyone, don't worry. I only wish to retrieve the legacy and utmost treasure of Tomb Sect. You guys can split the remaining treasures among your disciples!"
He surveyed the ground and smiled indifferently with extreme confidence, as though he could peer through all the obstacles.
In order to prevent any accidents, he sought help from two major immortal sects, Dark Thunder Sect and Chaos Essence Sect!
Along the way, Corpse Refinement Cult of the five heretical doctrines joined them.
With the backing of the three super sects, Lend Mind was confident that the Yellow Springs Diagram was definitely his!
"My dear junior brother, I heard that you found some helpers for yourself too. Let's see what sort of people you've sought help from, fufufu…"
…
Within the tomb.
Lohn Kong, monkey, the spirit tiger, the Golden Lion, and Ki Ki left the electric pool one after another.
Aiden was the final one to leave.
In part, it was because his physique could withstand the refinement of thunder for a longer duration.
At the same time, he was refining the sword formation!
Right now, he had already completed the sword formation.
Although the many superior swords were still at supreme-grade, each of them had streaks of purple lightning coiling them.
Aside from the sharpness of the blade itself, there was now the tough and righteous power of thunder that could suppress evil!
Aiden furrowed his brows gently. "Fatty, put away the treasures of this place. Let's leave as soon as possible, I've got a feeling that something is amiss."
"Yes,"
Little Fatty nodded.
It was way too strange that his senior brother, Lend Mind, had yet to show himself!
Furthermore, they had spent a long time in this tomb – other things might happen if they continued staying here.
Little Fatty walked along the stone shelves and stuffed all the other treasures into his storage bag.
Apart from some of them that he would use for himself, he would hand the rest over to the sect.
It would be a huge merit on his part!
With that merit and the acknowledgment of the Yellow Springs Diagram, Little Fatty's status in the sect would definitely surpass Lend Mind although he had joined later!
"Let's leave!"
Little Fatty waved his hand after wiping the treasures clean and everyone returned from where they came from.
Unlike when they entered, the group of them did not encounter any obstacles on the way out; even the Ancient Frost Crocodiles and Bloodthirsty Silverfishes seemed to be hiding themselves.
Everyone entered the lake and rose continuously.
When they were dozens of feet from the surface, Aiden's eyes flashed as he whispered, "Everyone, watch out. There's a lot of people up there!"
"Fufu, the oriole stalks the mantis as it stalks the grasshopper."
Lohn Kong chuckled. "Fatty, that senior brother of yours has already arrived."
He looked extremely relaxed.
Aiden sneered, "It isn't easy being an oriole!"
Swoosh!
Before long, splashes appeared on the lake as Aiden's group rushed out and hovered in midair.
They were surrounded by several thousand murderous martial artists and all of them had endless greed in their eyes!
Four martial artists stood in four directions and looked down with a torrential aura. They were none other than Lend Mind of Tomb Sect, Goil Hon of the Dark Thunder Sect, Shato Shin of Corpse Refinement Cult, and Niel Sen of Chaos Essence Sect!
"Senior Brother, you've come indeed!"
Little Fatty glared at a scrawny martial artist and grit his teeth.
"Fufu."
Lend Mind smiled faintly. "Junior Brother, I truly hadn't expected you to arrive here a step before me, but…"
He changed the topic and retracted his smile, shaking his head. "Everything you've done is for naught and merely to set things up for me! You're too naive to fight with me!"
"Senior Brother, the sect master said that whoever gets their hands on the Yellow Springs Diagram wins. You've already lost the fight!" Little Fatty said deeply.
A series of exclamations broke out in the crowd at the mention of the Yellow Springs Diagram.
That renowned emperor weapon had been with the Underworld Emperor for many years. Although its grade had fallen, it was still a rare utmost treasure!
Even Goil Hon, Shato Shin, and Niel Sen's eyes flashed with temptation.
"How naive!"
Lend Mind shook his head with a mocking gaze. "Junior Brother, you're still as naive as ever. Before you refine it to become your Destiny divine Weapon, the Yellow Springs Diagram belongs to no one still. I can naturally snatch it away from you!"
