Chapter 378: Chapter 378 Refinement of the Demon Formation_1

Ling Xiao continued to analyze, "Back then, the Plague Demon King ravaged the Heavenly Dragon Continent, and he was extremely terrifying. The treasures and various martial arts secret manuals in his possession must be abundant. Don’t the three senior brothers have any interest?"

Both Wan Yan Jun and Chen Zui’s eyes lit up at that.

However, their minds were not muddled.

"Junior Brother Ling’s deduction is probably not wrong, but even if there are treasures, one must still be alive to take them. A single Demon General is already more than we can handle; if we add the Plague Demon King to the mix, wouldn’t we be doomed?"

Wan Yan Jun said somewhat unwillingly.

He actually had the desire to go down and take a look but was also afraid of accidents.

"Hahaha, it looks like the two senior brothers are scared, but at this moment, the Plague Demon King is definitely gravely injured, and his strength may not be as formidable as the Demon General’s. Otherwise, he would not be hiding in this accursed place, relying on the Demon General to lure martial artists below the third layer of the Transcendent Realm into his trap."

Ling Xiao laughed heartily.

"Right! Why didn’t I think of that!"

Upon hearing this, Wan Yan Jun’s face immediately showed delight.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if missed, there would absolutely not be another chance.

"Senior brother, let’s go have a look. If it really doesn’t work out, we can just flee."

Chen Zui was also becoming somewhat impatient.

Although death was terrifying, when the potential rewards surpassed the fear of death, people would lose their reason.

"We can go down, but first we need to discuss how to divide the spoils. It wouldn’t be fair if the three of us worked hard only for all the treasures to end up with Junior Brother Ling."

Wan Yan Jun said with a smile.

"That’s simple, we’ll do a fifty-fifty split. I’ll take half, and the three of you can divide the other half however you like. I won’t interfere with how you split it amongst yourselves."

Ling Xiao spoke up.

He was not very sure about the situation below, so he needed others to go down with him. Otherwise, there was no need to waste words with these three.

"Why should it be so! If there are four of us, wouldn’t two and a half percent each make sense?"

Chen Zui protested.

"No, no, no. No matter what, Junior Brother Ling has made significant contributions. Two and a half percent is too little. How about this, Ling Junior Brother, you take thirty percent by yourself, and we three will divide the remaining sixty percent. How does that sound?"

"No, I will take forty percent,"

Ling Xiao shook his head.

Chen Zui wanted to say something more but was stopped by Wan Yan Jun.

He chuckled, "If Junior Brother Ling says forty percent, then it’s forty percent. We have no objections."

Then, he secretly transmitted a message to Chen Zui, "After everything is settled, let’s deal with Ling Xiao and Shangguan Lei. The two of us can split all the treasure. There’s no need to argue with him over it."

This was his true intent.

"Senior Brother Wanyan, should we call for reinforcements from the sect? After all, that’s the Plague Demon King."

Shangguan Lei, unaware of Wan Yan Jun and Chen Zui’s schemes, said with some concern.

"Call for reinforcements from the sect over such a trifle? Wouldn’t that mean our mission has failed?"

Wan Yan Jun immediately rejected Shangguan Lei’s suggestion.

What a joke, they could still obtain the treasures below by using Ling Xiao, but once they called for reinforcements from the sect, all the treasures here would belong to the sect.

By then, they wouldn’t get even a sip of the soup; only a fool would do something so stupid.

He certainly wouldn’t do it.

Ling Xiao sneered inwardly but agreed with Wan Yan Jun’s plan not to seek help from the sect.

He also wanted the treasure down below, no matter how little. Even if it was just a trifle, it would be good to have. But once the Sect found out...

There would be nothing left of him, not even bone shards.

After the four of them had discussed, Wan Yan Jun, Chen Zui, and Shang Guan Lei continued to recover where they were.

Each of them swallowed a pill that restored True Essence, replenished qi and blood, and healed injuries.

Although it was unlikely to regenerate lost limbs, it was already very good to ensure the recovery of physical strength and True Essence.

While they were recovering, Ling Xiao started to ponder how to get underground.

He had observed earlier that there was an Array Formation between the basement and the Underground Devil’s Cave, blocked by the "Plague Osteoporosis Array."

To go down, breaking through this Array Formation was essential.

Although Ling Xiao was unable to set up powerful Array Formations or Magic Arrays due to a lack of materials and experience...

When it came to breaking them, he feared he was no less skilled than the best Array Formation Master in the Mysterious World.

He might even be better.

Under the analytical and training abilities of the Mountain and River Martial Soul, he was able to break even the Ancient Array of the Inner Moon Radiance Pavilion of the Moon Hua Sect, let alone this Plague Osteoporosis Array, which was much weaker than that.

However, some things should not be done too ostentatiously; if the breaking seemed too effortless, it would undoubtedly arouse the suspicion of the other three.

In addition, breaking through too easily would definitely attract the attention of the "Plague Demon King" below, which would not be good for him.

He actually hoped that all his enemies would underestimate him, making it easier to achieve victory.

So now, he needed to put in a bit more effort.

Spend a little more time.

Give the three enough time to recover and, in turn, help him block some troubles.

The reason he had to go down wasn’t just for the so-called treasure below but mainly for the "Plague Demon King."

Ever since learning of this Demon King’s existence, Ling Xiao had always felt it was somehow connected to his own "Nine Demonic Divine Arts."

The nine Demon Kings of the "Nine Demon God Technique" coincided with the Nine Great Demon Kings under the True Demon Emperor’s command.

Could this merely be a coincidence?

Ling Xiao didn’t believe in such coincidences in the world; there had to be some connection.

He had to go down and see. If he could take the "Plague Demon King" into the Mountain and River Martial Soul, his "Nine Demon God Technique" might improve significantly, and he might even derive a completely new form of Martial Arts.

About a quarter of an hour later, Ling Xiao felt it was about time.

The three had recovered to a certain extent, and the hidden weapons of Wan Yan Jun and Shang Guan Lei were fully energized.

With this, even if they encountered trouble after going down, they could rely on the two men’s hidden weapons to solve it.

He slowly stood up, then took out an unused Array Refining Stone, and with a flick of his wrist, thirty-six Sky Gang Flying Swords all thrust toward the ground.

With a booming sound, the Sword Qi pierced the ground’s surface and penetrated the depths.

However, when Ling Xiao recalled all the Flying Swords, no change seemed to have occurred.

Chen Zui became a bit anxious and said irritably, "Hey, Junior Brother Ling, you’re not just pretending to be an elephant with a garlic clove for a trunk, are you? Can you actually do it or not?"

Ling Xiao couldn’t be bothered with this Array Formation idiot.

He quickly wrote a series of inscriptions on the blank Array Refining Stone using his True Essence, and then bellowed, "Decree·Gather."

In that instant, a ferocious force surged from the depths of the earth, startling Wan Yan Jun, Chen Zui, and Shang Guan Lei so much that they almost ran away.

It wasn’t until they realized that this ferocious force had completely flowed into the stone in Ling Xiao’s hand...

that they recognized there was no danger, and Ling Xiao must have been successful in breaking the Array.
