Chapter 2404 Right In Front Of The Treasure Vaul
“This is the place!” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ said.
Even without w.a.n.g s.h.i.+’s reminder, Duan Ling Tian could tell they had arrived at the place based on the fact that his Divine Consciousness had been restricted by a Formation in the valley. As he looked at the mountain valley that was shrouded in a grey fog, he thought to himself, ‘With all these restrictive Formations around, it’s only natural that Bodiless Celestials whose true forms are their souls couldn’t enter this place!’
Whoos.h.!.+
Duan Ling Tian and the others heard a gust of wind blowing and lifted their heads instantly. They saw a figure zooming in from the distance. However, it did not seem like the figure was heading toward them. The figure seemed to be in a rush and did not notice their presence.
At this point, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ said in an urgent tone, “Let’s enter. Five of us should be enough.” Based on his words, it was clear that he did not want another additional member in their group. After all, an additional person meant that they would get a lesser cut of the treasures in that place. Since Duan Ling Tian had joined them, they had two Eminent Celestials in their group. He was confident they had enough strength to enter that place.
“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian, Liu Xia, and Zhang Yi nodded in unison. They, naturally, caught the underlying meaning in w.a.n.g s.h.i.+’s words.
Their robes began to flutter in the air as they prepared to enter the valley that was shrouded in great mist.
Rong Bo who had been standing motionlessly at the side suddenly cried out, “Wait a second!”
Before the others could even react, Rong Bo looked at the rus.h.i.+ng figure and cried out again, “Feng Man!”
When the figure that was flying away heard Rong Bo’s words, it stopped moving before changing its direction and flew toward Duan Ling Tian and the others.
Meanwhile, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+, Liu Xia, and Zhang Yi’s expressions changed drastically. If they still did not realize the approaching figure was Rong Bo’s acquaintance then they were truly dumb.
Duan Ling Tian was the only one whose expression remained unchanged. Nary a ripple could be seen on his face when Rong Bo called out to the pa.s.serby…
When the pa.s.serby finally arrived, he ignored Duan Ling Tian and the others. He looked at Rong Bo and asked in a friendly manner, “Rong Bo? Why are you here?”
‘So they really know each other!’ Although w.a.n.g s.h.i.+, Liu Xia, and Zhang Yi had already known these two were acquainted with each other, they could not help but feel their hearts sinking when they thought about having another person to share their cuts of the treasure in that place. Not only that, but that person was an acquaintance of Rong Bo.
Rong Bo did not answer his acquaintance’s question. Instead, he said, “Feng Man, try using your Divine Consciousness to scout the mountain valley below us…”
This Feng Man was a young man with an average appearance and an average build. Based on the look in his eyes, one could tell he was not a simple-minded person.
After Feng Man heard Rong Bo’s words, he tried to extend his Divine Consciousness to scout the mountain valley below only to find he could not do so. It was as though there was a force that prevented him from doing so. His eyes lit up and an excited expression appeared on his face. “This… This is…” It was obvious he had realized what might be contained in the mountain valley below him.
In the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, only places related to legacies from Great Overarching Golden Celestials would have such Formations. These Formations were not intended to restrict the use of Divine Consciousness but were used to restrict souls from entering. Naturally, this applied to Bodiless Celestials who were essentially souls.
“It seems like you’ve realized it…” Rong Bo said indifferently.
Feng Man who had regained his senses burst out laughing. After a while, he said, “Rong Bo, aren’t you a lucky one? In just half a year after we entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, you found such a treasure vault. We’ll hit the jackpot if this place truly contains the legacy from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial!”
“Right? Don’t you think I’m a good friend?” Rong Bo asked with a smile.
“The best! You’re the best!” Feng Man said as he gave Rong Bo a thumbs up. “I really owe you one for calling me over!” If Rong Bo did not call out to him earlier, he would have missed a great opportunity.
After a while, Feng Man finally noticed Duan Ling Tian and the others. A frown appeared on his face as he said to Rong Bo, “Who are they? Rong Bo, with our strength, we can enter this place on our own…” His eyes flashed with killing intent as he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian and the others and said, “We don’t need all these people…”
As soon as Feng Man finished speaking, Rong Bo turned around and studied the people before him. When his eyes landed on Duan Ling Tian, he nodded in agreement with Feng Man’s words. “You’re right. It’s unnecessary for us to bring so many people along.”
“Rong Bo!” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ almost vomited blood in anger when he heard Rong Bo’s words. “What do you mean it’s unnecessary to bring so many people along? Don’t forget who discovered this place. If it weren’t for me and Lu Xia, you wouldn’t have found this place!” His eyes flashed with fury as he continued to say, “As soon as we arrived at this treasure vault that might contain a legacy from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, you plan to take everything for yourself?”
Rong Bo and Feng Man had called the mountain valley below them a treasure vault since they knew the place either contained a legacy from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial or clues that led to one. A treasure vault was definitely a befitting name for this place.
Although Liu Xia was silent, she was glaring at Rong Bo. If she knew this was going to happen, she would have insisted on kicking Rong Bo out of the group.
When Feng Man heard w.a.n.g s.h.i.+’s words, he sent a Voice Transmission to Rong Bo. “So these are the people who found this place? How strong are they? Can both of us defeat them?” Based on Rong Bo’s reaction, it was clear Rong Bo did not have a good relations.h.i.+p with these people.
Rong Bo quickly replied through Voice Transmission. “Among those four, there’s an Eminent Celestial, two cultivators at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, and a cultivator at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage… If both of us join forces, it shouldn’t be a problem for us to deal with them!”
After a pause, Rong Bo added, “However, it’s fine just to kill the three males. Don’t kill the girl yet. I want to… Well, in any case, when I’m done with her, I’ll send her to them!” When he finished speaking, the way he looked at Liu Xia turned lecherous.
Ever since Duan Ling Tian had joined the group, Rong Bo did not dare to have lewd thoughts about Liu Xia. He was not afraid of Duan Ling Tian alone, but if w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ and Zhang Yi were to join forces with Duan Ling Tian, he would definitely not be a match for them.
“I understand.” Feng Man nodded when he heard Rong Bo’s reply. He turned to look at Duan Ling Tian and the others, not bothering to conceal his killing intent.
All of them, apart from Duan Ling Tian, felt an acute sense of danger. It was as though they were being targeted by a venomous snake.
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ suppressed the fear in his heart and said, “Rong Bo, do you really think you’ll be able to defeat all four of us just because you have an ally?”
“Well, if he’s weak, then, maybe not…” Rong Bo smiled. “You can only blame yourself for being unlucky. There are seven Eminent Celestials who are younger than 100 years old in the Skyline Realm. Coincidentally, Feng Man is one of them!” His smile widened when he finished speaking.
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+, Liu Xia, and Zhang Yi’s expressions changed drastically when they heard Rong Bo’s words. They felt their hearts sink. They did not expect Feng Man to be an Eminent Celestial as well. After all, there were no more than ten Eminent Celestials below the age of 100 in their respective mundane realms.
If Feng Man was at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, they would still stand a chance to defeat him and Rong Bo with Duan Ling Tian’s help. However, how could they deal with two Eminent Celestials?
