Chapter 508: Chapter 509 Overwhelming Threat (Fourth Update)

In this jungle, Chu Fengmian’s Spiritual Sense swept across, and he was able to detect countless fierce beasts within.

At the very center of these numerous jungles, on top of an immensely huge mountain peak, there was a gate that embodied an extremely terrifying Dragon’s might.

This cave of the Ancient Dragon Emperor should be right atop this mountain peak.

However, once someone wanted to approach this cave of the Ancient Dragon Emperor, they must deal with the numerous fierce beasts below.

These beasts were not weak existences by any means; among them, Chu Fengmian sensed that some of the most powerful beasts had strengths reaching around the fifth level of the Life and Death Realm.

It far surpassed the martial artists present, and even Chu Fengmian would find it extremely difficult to deal with them.

Bai Xuan secretly transmitted a message to Chu Fengmian.

"We attempted to enter last time, but encountered these beasts and could only temporarily retreat."

Chu Fengmian nodded secretly in his heart.

He too sensed that these beasts seemed to be guarding the mountain peak at the center of the jungle.

As soon as one tried to cross the jungle, these beasts would surely attack in groups.

"Folks, this cave of the Ancient Dragon Emperor is within the mountain peak at the center of this jungle, but before that, we must deal with those beasts," Sikong Xuan spoke coldly, his gaze flickering, as if he were calculating something.

"These beasts, even if we fight them, we might not be able to deal with them, so we must have someone lure them away," he said.

...

Sikong Xuan’s words brought silence over everyone.

According to Sikong Xuan’s suggestion, someone among those present would have to act as bait to attract the beasts.

Setting aside the danger of luring, who could guarantee that after drawing the beasts away, they would be able to enter the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s cave?

It was extremely difficult to survive the clutches of these beasts, let alone to shake them off.

Lin Mu suddenly spoke up.

"This cave of the Ancient Dragon Emperor was first discovered by Brother Sikong; naturally, we should follow Brother Sikong’s arrangements."

Luo Chen also spoke up in support.

"I’m willing as well."

Young Master Yun nodded and added.

"That’s right, without Brother Sikong, we wouldn’t be able to get here, so we’ll completely rely on Brother Sikong’s arrangements."

The three of them stated their positions one after another, appearing righteous, but in reality, they had long been in cahoots.

This caused Bai Xuan’s expression to become extremely awkward; these people’s current stance clearly came from being in cahoots with Sikong Xuan.

Sikong Xuan would certainly not let them be the ones to lure the beasts to their deaths; the ones to go would only be her and Chu Fengmian.

"What’s the matter? Bai Xuan, Chu Fengmian, you two don’t plan to agree?" Young Master Yun suddenly stepped forward, saying righteously.

"We are able to reach this cave of the Ancient Dragon Emperor thanks to Brother Sikong; how can you think of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge now?"

"One must not be without a conscience!"

Luo Chen chimed in from the side.

"Moreover, it’s just a matter of luring away the beasts. Once we enter the cave, we will naturally help you get in as well."

"That’s right, Bai Xuan, Chu Fengmian, if you two follow my arrangements, I won’t let you be at a loss."

Sikong Xuan spoke coldly, and with his words, a wave of Spiritual Power oppression followed, as he sternly said,

"Well, have you thought it through?"

"You..."

Bai Xuan’s face flushed with anger, just as she was about to retort, Chu Fengmian interrupted her abruptly.

"We two will, of course, follow the arrangement."

Chu Fengmian said, his expression revealing a hint of reluctance, yet he seemed unable to resist the temptation of the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s tomb and chose to stay.

Upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s response, a sly smile appeared on Sikong Xuan’s face, and he said,

"Good, now I will assign the tasks. Later, it will be Cloud Brother and I who stay behind as a precaution, and I will take responsibility for opening the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s tomb."

"Lin Brother and Luo Brother are tasked with checking for any monster beasts that may have slipped through the net and dealing with them."

"As for the matter of luring the monster beasts, that will be left to Bai Xuan and Chu Brother. After all, Chu Brother possesses true Dragon Blood lineage; handling a few minor monster beasts should be no problem. We will enter the tomb first. Once Chu Brother has dealt with those monster beasts, he can also follow inside."

The moment Sikong Xuan spoke, he sounded righteous, as though utterly fair.

But in reality, he had assigned the most dangerous tasks to Chu Fengmian and Bai Xuan, while they themselves would take the easy route into the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s tomb.

Listening to Sikong Xuan’s words, Bai Xuan’s face was already red with anger, unable to believe that she had come with Sikong Xuan only to be used as bait.

Even a murderous intent had begun to surge within Chu Fengmian’s heart; Sikong Xuan had led everyone here to the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s tomb before showing his true colors.

Now, even if they wanted to leave, there was no way out. To leave alone would mean facing the perilous Chaotic Burial Sea by oneself, an undeniably deadly prospect, virtually impossible to survive.

"Sikong Brother is indeed calculating, making these two enter the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s tomb first and then dealing with them. Now, even if they wanted to leave, there would be only one path to death; they can only follow Sikong Brother’s arrangement."

Young Master Yun laughed coldly, transmitting his words to Sikong Xuan.

"I was wondering why Sikong Brother had brought these two burdens; it turns out he already had this planned."

"Hmph, that wench Bai Xuan, she dared to reject me after I pursued her for a long time; today is the time to teach her a lesson," Sikong Xuan said with a chilly expression.

"As for that lad, his bloodline is somewhat special; it will be perfect to draw away those monster beasts."

"The four of us together are not afraid they will disobey."

Sikong Xuan whispered his transmission, then turned his head to look at Chu Fengmian and coldly commanded,

"Chu Fengmian, you go down first and see just how many monster beasts there are."

This one sentence from Sikong Xuan was practically an order. As he spoke, Cloud Brother, Lin Mu, and Luo Chen, all three conjured their Spiritual Power.

A force of immense power bore down upon them, the threatening intent clear without words.

"Sikong Xuan, don’t go too far!"

Bai Xuan couldn’t bear it any longer and roared in anger.

"We came to cooperate with you, not to serve as your slaves!"

"What’s this, Bai Xuan, you dare to resist?"

Before Sikong Xuan could respond, Lin Mu coldly retorted first,

"This arrangement is agreed upon by all of us, are you dissatisfied?"

Cloud Brother also revealed a cold smile, adding,

"Sikong Brother’s arrangements naturally have their reasons. Since we all came here for the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s tomb, you’d better obediently comply."

"Let’s go."

Under this intimidation, Chu Fengmian seemed unable to resist anymore and had no choice but to move, leading Bai Xuan down into the jungle below.
