Chapter 484: Battling Over Treasure
Wu Chou hadn’t anticipated that the taciturn Bone Sage would silently compete with him for the treasure . With a savage expression, he furiously shouted, “You dare to fight this young island lord over treasure?”
The Bone Sage sneered and spoke with unconcealed derision, “Funny . Was this treasure created by your clan? Why can’t I contend for it?”
Wu Chou flew into a fit of rage out of embarrassment, but something soon came to mind and he foully grimaced . Instead of further refuting, he clasped his hand into an incarnation gesture, forcefully using the black pythons to exert more strength .
It seemed Wu Chou understood that since the Bone Sage was supported by Man Huzi who Zenith Yin held in fear, he was unable to use his grandfather’s status to subdue him .
Wu Chou’s actions caused the Bone Sage to sneer . Without speaking further, he pointed at the green web, causing its light to brightly flourish as its threads grew thicker and tightened .
Wu Chou’s and the Bone Sage’s techniques had both restrained the wolf, but its light barrier grew increasingly firm and bright despite having decreased several times in size . The unscathed flame wolf gazed at the two, as they were at a standstill .
The Nascent Soul cultivators that were still fighting in the sky were caught by surprise . None of them had expected that the treasure would run towards the Core Formation cultivators . The Righteous Dao cultivators grew increasingly anxious and wished to break off from the battle to seize the treasure . However, the eccentrics of the Devil Dao were largely unbothered .
Regardless of how you looked at it, it was their side that had acquired the treasure . They were happy to tie down the Righteous Dao cultivators and allow their juniors to safely acquire the treasure . Besides, Man Huzi and Zenith Yin felt that they had a high chance of acquiring the treasure for themselves .
Wu Chou had been given many treasures by Zenith Yin, and he also used the Profound Yin Devilish Art, one of the best cultivations arts in the Scattered Star Seas . As such, Zenith Yin felt confident that Wu Chou would be able to wrest away the treasure from the Bone Sage who only appeared to be an early Core Formation cultivator . Man Huzi, knowing the Bone Sage’s true identity, held far more confidence in acquiring it than Zenith Yin did . Qing Yi could only look at the circumstances with a trace of sadness . After hesitating for only a moment, he decided to tangle with Tian Wuzi and keep him occupied .
At that moment, the sole person near the altar was Han Li . Han Li didn’t feel leisurely in the slightest . In fact, he felt cold sweat line his back . He had instinctively taken out the ancient flower basket a moment ago due to the fact it was the most suitable to seizing treasures .
But when he saw the Bone Sage move to take the treasure, he instantly recalled something significant . His ancient flower basket treasure was something he had acquired from the ugly man that was watching over the Bone Sage’s prison . If he were to take it out then wouldn’t he be informing Zenith Yin that he had released the Bone Sage?
This caused Han Li to break out in cold sweat . Thinking about seizing treasure was now the last thing on his mind! Rather, his mind was chaotically filled with all sorts of distracting thoughts, doing his utmost to come up with an appropriate answer for Zenith Yin .
But in that next moment, Han Li felt amazed . He had clearly felt Zenith Yin’s gaze sweep past the flower basket but he didn’t react in the slightest .
Han Li suddenly came to a delighted realization . The ancient flower basket wasn’t something that Zenith Yin had given to the ugly man . Furthermore, it wasn’t something that he realized the ugly man had possessed . Having come to that conclusion, Han Li felt greatly relieved .
Han Li had guessed correctly! That ugly man had stood guard at the Bone Sage’s island for a very long time, but he heard word of the ancient flower basket and left to retrieve it . Although he managed to smoothly acquire the treasure, Han Li’s party had already surrounded the Bone Sage’s formation and were just about to destroy it . This frightened the ugly man into a furious rage, but he ultimately ended up dying to Han Li’s Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, allowing Han Li to acquire the flower basket as spoils .
Having recovered his calm, Han Li glanced at Wu Chou and the Bone Sage struggling over the fire wolf . He thought to himself, “You’re quite in luck, old devil . Had Zenith Yin discovered this matter, I would have dragged you down with me . Don’t think that I’ll leave you unscathed!”
Another round of heavy, thunderous clangs rang out from the hole .
Having gone through this before, the Nascent Soul cultivators slowed their hands and glanced at one another . Not knowing who was the first to move, they all blurred and appeared in the direction of the altar’s hole .
At that moment, the Heavenvoid Cauldron was close to the surface . The Nascent Soul cultivators were forced to block the fantastical cold that it had released, each making full use of their techniques and summoning their defensive treasures . As these actions produced flashes of wondrous light, both sides were cautious staring at one another .
