Chapter 210
Chapter 210
The two who just arrived are the old woman and the short old man Arthur saw a few days ago . They were the elders accompanying Elo Huo and they were both God Realm, moreover, they were both 8th Grade Gods .
The old woman started healing Elo Huo's arm and the old man dived underground in search of the double-headed leopard . Alas, his search was futile as he returned from down below with an infuriated expression .
"Ahhh it hurts!"
Elo Huo cried in pain as he held his shoulder where blood was gushing nonstop . Arthur, who was possessing the woman, walked next to Elo Huo and tried to sort of console him without doing anything strange . Since the woman was lower Realm than him then possessing her proceeded smoothly without meeting any resistance .
Regrowing an arm is a doable thing if rare plants are used, which is why the elders were not that much worried about Elo Huo, nevertheless, they were angry and there's nothing here that they can their rage upon .
For a genius like Elo Huo hailing from their academy to be this injured just because of a God Beast, he even used his lantern, which made the matter more shameful .
"That's what you get for being careless!"
The old woman scolded Elo Huo without saving him any face which made the boy's face distorted . The juniors remained silent as they didn't dare to meddle but you could see some of them are still afraid of the leopard .
Even the two elders were confused, normally, a God Beast shouldn't be able to bypass the Golden Crow, especially if it was done that easily!
A few minutes later, with the consistent begging of Elo Huo, the elders agreed to let him join them to the ruins despite his missing arm . He also asked his woman to come with him, which was perfect for Arthur .
While hugging Elo Huo's still intact arm, Arthur tagged along and followed the two elders . They have already entered the central part of the tomb, the ruins were all decayed and some of them were destroyed . However, it was said that there are some special runes that contain treasures or even powerful beasts that guard priceless plants .
Arthur could see a lot of juniors venturing deep into the ruins and exploring the area but the big shots and geniuses went with the elders from their sect because the treasures here do not entice them .
The elders of the big faction are bringing the top disciples to the main palace of the tomb, which where the actual tomb is and where the manual along with the other good treasures are hidden .
Arthur didn't talk much to not seem out of character, furthermore, Elo Huo seemed focused on the ruins and didn't mind it at all, so he just hugged the boy and silently followed the elders .
About two hours later, after traveling at a decent speed, they reached a large square with a main blue palace situated at its center . There was already a few factions present such as Kai Min and his sect elders, Cold Swort, who seemed to be slightly injured . Emily, Kithel and the red-haired youth were also here .
Arthur glanced at the red-haired youth, who instantly sensed it and glanced back at his master . He immediately knew that the woman was his master . To not raise any suspicions, he didn't stare long and didn't talk or make any weird gestures, he just closed his eyes and stood near Kithel .
'As expected, that kid is really good friends with Kai Min, excellent . '
Arthur looked toward Kai Min, who was unscathed and in a very good mood as his trip in the swamp was fruitful . A kid stood behind Kai Min, he was the one Arthur put a GPS on, and from the looks of it, it was the right choice .
"You seem to be late, Granny Teresa . "
Krores, the elder from Kai Min's sect spoke mockingly to the old woman accompanying Elo Huo . In response to his provocative words, the granny just snorted and ignored him .
The relationship between the two factions wasn't good to begin with, which is why Arthur wanted to add oil to the burning fire and cause more ruckus, which will facilitate his plan .
Everyone was standing near the entrance of the closed palace . The real tomb of the Kang ancestor was inside it, but it isn't that easy to open the palace, one can be granted access, such as the descendants of the Kang Ancestor, or they can enter forcefully by breaking its gates, however, that isn't a favorable choice as the palace will surely retaliate and the guardians will emerge to drive away the intruders .
Only Gods can fight the guardians, which is why not all juniors were allowed to come here, only the talented can enter and try his chances .
The first people to take actions were Kithel and Emily . They both headed towards the closed gate and knocked three times each . It was a simple action yet it caused the large gates to slowly open, making a space enough for them to enter . Emily turned around and motioned for the red-haired youth to join her . Her actions obviously attracted the attention of everyone, they looked towards the red-haired youth, who was seemingly close with the daughter of Amidel . Some were jealous but most of them were curious about who this youth might be, even the Gods such as Teresa and Krores frowned upon being unable to see through this youngster .
"A man knows when to back off, it's time to part ways . "
Although he said that, Emily was still unwilling and ended up entering only after Kithel whispered something in her ears .
When the siblings entered, the gates closed again, leaving the first comers curious about what's inside the palace . Even Kai Min couldn't contain his excitment .
The atmosphere soon turned silent for a dozen seconds before Krores talked again
"Granny Teresa, how about we force them out and let the youngsters try their chances?"
Krores and the other elders were already old and had priceless treasures, except the manual, they didn't need anything else and were not greedy for plants or powerful hidden items .
Although she didn't want to cooperate with the Water Cloud Sect, Teresa still had to accept Krores' offer as the guardians were really strong and the five of them should barely be able to cope with them .
Still cautious of each other, the five Gods advanced towards the big gates and unhesitantly started attacking with all their might, shaking the ground and creating large dust clouds .
Kai Min and even Cold Sword were forced to retreat some distance as it was not safe . If a single attack from these Gods reached them, they could die or be heavily injured .
Though they weren't holding back, neither of the Gods summoned their God Spirit as it was a last resort thing and it wasn't worth it, not until the guardians show up, at least .
Saber beams and 10-meter long sword slashes landed on the gates, shaking it yet not scratching it the least bit . Arthur silently waited for the perfect chance before he initiated his plans, the moment the gates open and the guardians appear is the right time to begin .
. . . .
Ten minutes passed in a flash, the juniors were a bit nervous except Cold Swort, who maintained an expressionless face . As time passed, the gates finally showed signs of destruction due to the bombardment of five Gods . There were a lot of scratches and even some holes . This continued for another twenty minutes before the gates finally reacted, its two large doors were opened forcefully and angry roar originating from inside place resounded in all the ruins, making those who were weak tremble uncontrollably .
Two enormous shadows as big as the gates appeared from inside, one was a humanoid statue holding a spear and the other seemed to be a dog with sharp spikes on its back . The dog seemed more frightening than the statue, it growled menacingly at the five Gods and seemed to be about to pounce at them at any given second .
Once the two Guardians appeared, Arthur activated the detonator he put inside the kid next to Kai Min, this caused a mass of blood and gory flesh to explode in all direction, frightening the hell of Kai Min . This was only the beginning as he used the woman's body to head straight toward the group of disciples behind Kai Min and without hesitation, he started throwing normal fireballs and using fire oriented skills to attack them yet not kill them instantly .
