Ling Xiao continued to analyze: “This Plague Demon King was very terrifying when he came to the Heavenly Dragon Continent back then. He must have countless treasures and various martial art manuals, are senior brothers not interested?”
The eyes of Wan Yanjun and Chen Zui shone.
But they were not muddleheaded.
“Junior Brother Ling’s deduction is probably correct, but even if there are treasures, it would be up to fate to take them. A Demon General is already enough for us. If there is an addition of the Plague Demon King, then wouldn’t we be screwed?”
Wan Yanjun looked somewhat unwilling as he said.
He, in fact, desired to go down and take a look, but he was afraid of having an accident.
“Hahaha, I see, senior brothers are scared. But that Plague Demon King must be seriously injured at this moment. He might not even be as powerful as the Demon General. Otherwise, why would he hide in this awful place and rely on the Demon General’s help to lure martial artists below Rank Three Transcendent Realm?”
Ling Xiao laughed.
“That’s right! Why didn’t I think of this!”
After hearing Ling Xiao, Wan Yanjun immediately became happy.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There would be no next time if he missed it.
“Senior Brother, let’s go down and take a look. We can just escape if it’s no good.”
Chen Zui couldn’t resist it.
Although death was terrifying, when the benefits exceeded the fear of death, people would lose their rationality.
“Okay, we can go down, but we have to discuss how to distribute things first. We can’t just work hard for nothing, and let Junior Brother Ling take everything.”
Wan Yanjun said with a smile.
“That’s simple, fifty-fifty, I get half, and you three will get the other half. As for how you will divide among you, I will not interfere.”
Ling Xiao said.
He was not very clear about the situation underground, therefore, someone needed to go down with him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have talked nonsense with these three people.
“Relying on what! There are four of us, isn’t one person getting 25% fair?”
Chen Zui was unwilling to concede.
“No, no, no, whatever one says, Junior Brother Ling has made great contributions, 25% is too small, how about this, Junior Brother Ling, you alone will take 30%. As for the remaining 60%, it will be divided among the three of us. What do you think?”
“No, I will take 40%.”
Ling Xiao shook his head and said.
Chen Zui wanted to say something but Wan Yanjun stopped him.
He then chuckled and said: “Since Junior Brother Ling said 40%, then 40%, we have no objection.”
Afterward, he secretly sent a voice transmission to Chen Zui and said: “Wait until this matter is over, we will get rid of both Ling Xiao and Shangguan Lei, then we will divide all treasures equally between you and me. There is no need to bicker with him now.”
This was his true intention.
“Senior Brother Wan Yan, are we going to request the sect for help? After all, that’s the Plague Demon King.”
Shangguan Lei didn’t know the scheme of Wan Yanjun and Chen Zui, and he said with some worries.
“If we asked for help from the sect for such a trivial matter, then wouldn’t it be counted as a failure of the task?”
Wan Yanjun directly rejected Shangguan Lei’s suggestion.
What a joke! Now, they could get treasures using Ling Xiao, but once they request the sect for help, all treasures here would belong to the sect.
At that time, they truly couldn’t even drink the soup. Only idiots would do such stupid things.
In any case, he wouldn’t do it.
Ling Xiao sneered inwardly. However, he agreed with Wan Yanjun’s plan of not asking the sect for help.
He also wanted the treasures below. Regardless of anything, having three melons and two dates were good, but once the sect learned of this matter, then they truly wouldn’t even get anything.
After the discussion was over, Wan Yanjun, Chen Zui and Shangguan still remained there to recover.
They swallowed pills to recover their true essence, blood and qi, and also heal their injuries.
Although it was very unlikely that they would be able to regrow their limbs, it was pretty good to be able to ensure the recovery of physical strength and true essence.
When they were recovering, Ling Xiao began to wonder how to go below.
He had observed before and found that there was a large formation between the underground basement and the underground demon lair, which was ‘Plague Turn Bone Formation’.
If they wanted to go down, then he had to crack this formation.
Although Ling Xiao still couldn’t set up such powerful formations or arrays because of materials and experience, when it came to cracking, he was probably no worse than the most outstanding Formation Master in the Profound Realm.
He might even be better.
Under the Analysis and Deduction Ability of the Landscape Martial Soul, he could even crack the ancient formation of the Moonlight Sect’s Inner Moonlight Tower, not to mention that this Plague Turn Bone Formation was much weaker than that ancient formation.
However, he shouldn’t be too excessive when doing something. If he cracked it too easily, then it would definitely arouse the suspicion of those three people.
In addition, if he cracked it too easily, it would definitely make the Plague Demon King more alert, which was not a good thing for him.
He hoped that all enemies he ran into would underestimate him. Like that, it would be easier to win.
Therefore, he needed to spend a little more effort now.
And waste a lot of time, which would give these three people enough time to recover.
Like that, those three could also help him stop more troubles.
The reason why he wanted to go down was, in addition to the so-called treasure trove below, his main purpose was ‘Plague Demon King’.
Since he learned of the existence of this Demon King, Ling Xiao had always felt that this thing had a certain connection with his <Nine Demon Gods Art>.
<Nine Demon Gods Art>’s Nine Great Demon Kings were exactly the Nine Great Demon Kings under True Demon Great Emperor back then.
Could it be that it was just a coincidence?
Ling Xiao didn’t believe that there was such a coincidence in the world. There must be some connection.
He must go down and take a look. If this ‘Plague Demon King’ could be taken into the Landscape Martial Soul, then his <Nine Demon Gods Art> might have a greater improvement and it might even produce a completely new martial art.
After about fifteen minutes, Ling Xiao felt that it was almost time.
Those three people had recovered to a certain extent, moreover, the hidden weapons of Wan Yanjun and Shangguan Lei had also been charged.
Like this, even if they encountered troubles after going down, they could use the hidden weapons to deal with it.
He slowly stood up, took out an unused Refine Array Stone, then raised his hand and thirty-six Big Dipper Flying Swords stabbed on the ground.
Along with the rumbling sounds, the sword qi penetrated the earth’s surface and reached underground.
However, when Ling Xiao took back all the flying swords, nothing changed.
Chen Zui was a little anxious and angrily said: “I say, Junior Brother Ling, you are not just a pig with green onions in its nose, pretending to be an elephant, right? Can you do it or not?”
Ling Xiao was unwilling to respond to this formation idiot.
He quickly used his true essence to write an inscription on the blank Refine Array Stone, then shouted ‘Order-Retract’.
At that instant, violent energy burst out from the ground, scaring Wan Yanjun, Chen Zui and Shangguan Lei so much that they almost ran away.
Only when they noticed that that violent energy was actually pouring into the stone in Ling Xiao’s hand, they realized that there was no danger and Ling Xiao had succeeded in breaking the formation.
