NOVPUBJust when Xu Ping’an and his companions were striving to recover their True Yuan,
the Eighth Layer battlefield at the entrance of the Tianlong Valley had already ceased fighting.
The multiple sides involved in the grand battle had now split into five factions.
One faction was the Snow King accompanied by four Snow Spirit Guards.
Another side was composed of people from the Mysterious Qing Heaven.
Yet another side consisted of the Savage Ape King, the leader of the Black Armored Emperor Dragons, and the three surviving Seventh Rank Black Armored Emperor Dragons.
The last side was the people from the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty’s Crimson King’s Mansion.
It seemed that previously, Shao Yanwu did not lead the five Seventh Rank Experts to storm the great hall but instead went behind it,
where Shao Yanwu also obtained an incomplete Tenth Rank Immortal Array.
It could be said that he had made a significant gain.
By the time he obtained the Immortal Array, Xu Ping’an and the others had already entered the cave.
Hence, they were unaware of the location of the cave’s entrance.
As for Yuheng Heaven, Zhao Qiming and the Eighth Rank Expert Wu Gou from Yuheng Heaven had already left.
Qin Yu from the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty also exited and took the Eighth Layer Fifth Realm Expert with him away from the site.
Clearly, they understood that even if they had stayed, with so many powerful figures around, they wouldn’t have been able to gain any advantage.
So at this moment, there were still five forces remaining at the entrance, while those Loose Cultivators who had been trapped at the entrance from the start, hadn’t even had the chance to enter the valley.
"Xue Hu, are all of my people from Shaoyang Heaven dead? What about Xie Fengyun? Who killed him?" the Eighth Layer Eighth Rank Expert from Shaoyang Heaven asked Xue Hu.
"Elder Fu Long, this Xie Fengyun was killed by Xu Ping’an. I saw it with my own eyes. As for his subordinates, it seems they fell into a trap and perished in a frenzy of mutual slaughter. Do you want from Shaoyang Heaven to" Xue Hu said with a sly grin.
"Xu Ping’an, a nobody from a small faction, dares to kill a direct descendant of my Shaoyang Heaven?" the Eighth Rank Expert still harbored some doubt.
"Elder Fu, you’re mistaken. This Xu Ping’an is extremely arrogant. He previously put Zhao Qiming at a disadvantage, and even killed members of the Mysterious Sword Sect. He’s exceedingly brazen, and it seems he has some ties with the Snow King’s people," Shao Yanwu said with a light chuckle.
Upon hearing this, Fu Long immediately turned his gaze towards the Snow King.
The latter remained silent, offering no retort.
Fu Long gave the Snow King a look but didn’t dare to pursue the matter further.
After all, the Snow King’s strength was clear, and offending him could result in severe consequences.
"Human fattie, where is that Xu Ping’an now?"
However, it was at this moment that the Savage Ape King turned to ask Xue Hu, his voice booming loudly.
Xue Hu’s face changed, and as he looked toward the Savage Ape King, a smile appeared, "Reporting to Elder Savage Ape King, Xu Ping’an has entered a cave. However, he accidentally destroyed a formation inside, causing the entrance to collapse. He should be trapped inside now."
"Trapped? What about my treasure?" the Savage Ape King bellowed in anger upon hearing this.
The others’ expressions shifted. What treasure was the Savage Ape King talking about?
They only knew that the Savage Ape King had launched a sudden attack and battled with them, unaware of the reasons for his actions.
They initially thought he was allied with the Black Armored Emperor Dragons, but it now seemed that was not the case.
Xue Hu’s eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Elder Savage Ape King, did Xu Ping’an tell you about some treasure here? Could it be the Tianlong Marrow?"
"What nonsense Tianlong Marrow? It’s the Indestructible Thunder Elemental Liquid," the Savage Ape King replied impatiently, his mind preoccupied with thoughts.
With that human boy trapped, was the treasure still there?
Indestructible Thunder Elemental Liquid?
The people around were shocked. Indestructible Thunder Elemental Liquid in this valley?
This Indestructible Thunder Elemental Liquid was a tremendous treasure, yet they had heard nothing about it.
Even the Snow King was startled.
Xue Hu also fell into contemplation but soon realized the truth and hastily said, "Elder Savage Ape King, you might have been deceived. There is no Indestructible Thunder Elemental Liquid here at all, or perhaps the Indestructible Lightning was his own. The Indestructible Thunder Elemental Liquid has not been seen by anyone in over three thousand years. You said he entered the valley, that’s even more unlikely. The first ones to discover this valley were from Shaoyang Heaven, and if you don’t believe it, you can ask Elder Black Armored Emperor Dragon here; it should know what treasures are inside."
The Black Armored Emperor Dragon was also severely injured at the moment, having only recently entered the Eighth Rank, and these Eighth Rank strongmen were too powerful.
The Savage Ape King, too, posed a great threat to him. In the past, he had formations to protect his territory, but now that they were gone, he wasn’t sure if he could keep it, so he desperately wanted these people to leave quickly.
Upon hearing Xue Hu’s words, he also spoke up, "There is no Indestructible Thunder Elemental Liquid inside, I can attest to that."
"There isn’t? that kid deceived me?" the Savage Ape King roared in fury.
"Elder Savage Ape King, perhaps he just bluffed you to use you as his enforcer," Xue Hu continued.
The others nearby were also dumbfounded.
Wow, Xu Ping’an really has guts.
The Savage Ape King was actually brought in by his bluff to be his enforcer?
Isn’t that a bit too bold?
Those Eighth Rank strongmen all wore speechless expressions.
So, they had been fighting all this time because Xu Ping’an was up to mischief?
Although the Snow King had suspected it earlier, she hadn’t expected Xu Ping’an to dare bluff even the Savage Ape King.
If the Savage Ape King were to get angry, even she might have to step back.
Did this kid ever consider what he would do if he got the treasure and confronted the Savage Ape King afterward?
"This human kid actually deceived me, roar, he even dared to deceive this King; I will tear him to shreds," the Savage Ape King thundered, his roar shaking heaven and earth.
Frenziedly hammering his chest, he burst a nearby small mountain with a single punch.
His terrifying soul power and True Elemental Power spread out, shaking the cosmos.
Everyone’s complexion changed at the rampage of the Savage Ape King; it was truly scary when he got angry.
Xu Ping’an really had some nerve.
Xue Hu, however, chuckled lightly.
Even if Xu Ping’an and his group were lucky enough to come out from there, they wouldn’t need to lift a finger; the Savage Ape King would blast them all to smithereens.
This was an unexpected gain.
Of course, he didn’t think Xu Ping’an could come out from the mountain cave, especially since he had released that thing before he left.
"Xu Ping’an is courting death; even if he makes it out, he’s doomed," Shao Yanwu also sneered.
The Snow King’s brows were deeply furrowed.
Putting aside whether Xu Ping’an could make it out or not, having made an enemy of the Savage Ape King was a particularly troublesome issue.
"Boom!"
Just then, a roar thundered from a distance.
Following that, five figures burst out from the side of the mountain wall surrounding the valley.
As they emerged, everyone looked at the five people, their faces incredulous.
They came out?
Xue Hu was also startled, surprised at the sudden appearance of the five people.
But quickly, his expression became extremely colorful.
The others also wore amused looks.
Xu Ping’an, accompanied by Li Xuanqing and the others, emerged from the cavern in the mountain wall, and noticing everyone’s expressions, he immediately guessed what had happened.
"You human kid, you actually dared to deceive me, I will kill you," the Savage Ape King raged, his eyes blood red as he glared at Xu Ping’an.
Li Xuanqing and the others’ faces turned pale in an instant.
Oh no!
Xu Ping’an’s lie had been exposed, and now they were doomed.
Xu Ping’an, however, remained calm and composed, a faint smile appearing on his face.
Everything was indeed as he had guessed; the real show was just beginning.
