Currently, the higher ups of the Blood Battle Gang were discussing some affairs.
This meeting was being held in the Grand Hall. The Group Head, Hu Man was currently sitting straight with his tough and stocky build. His face full of harsh features; with a single glance one could tell he wasn't some benevolent person.
Hu Man extremely impatient. Waving his arms he spoke. "How are the results for breaking that mining area's seals going?"
A young person of around twenty seven-eight years of age stood up at that moment. Respectfully he replied to Hu Man, "Reporting to the Group Head, grandfather already has some rough sketches. It's just the number of experts within the group are far too little. Although the seals are old, they aren't easily dispelled. The other day, grandfather had asked Long Jun to pass on the message that he is already making the utmost effort and will try to break the seals in the shortest possible time."
The young person, was late Long Zai Tian's eldest grandchild, after his death few days ago he succeeded through the family currently he was viewing all the work his father has been doing Long Hui's elder brother Long Jun. He was already at the True Element Second Boundary, although he couldn't be compared to those geniuses beloved by the heavens, his aptitude wasn't too bad.
Hu Man merely nodded his head. "En. This is good. Long Jun,"
"Yes."
"It's unknown what profound mysteries are hidden within those seals, to be actually hidden tens of feet underground." A random Lord spoke out.
"But this is all thanks to our Lady Mei Er and her clear sight. If it wasn't for her saying that something unusual was hidden beneath the mine, then we would have never known about the matter."
"That's right, that's right. Even though Lady Mei Er's age is young, her eyes truly are special. It is really unknown as to how she saw this."
That group of people was still praising Hu Mei Er's peculiar eyes, and also roped in Hu Jiao Er to the skies.
Hu Man was only depressed.
When speaking of this point, it was quite odd. The mining site had already been discovered for quite a few years already, while the group had been mining the Bright Yang Stones and the Bright Yin Stones during these years; earning quite a large sum. In these years it had expanded quite rapidly, while a large portion came from that mining site.
Yet no one knew that a few more meters down, there was such a mysterious thing hidden.
Yet two months earlier, the Hu Man's daughter had come one day to tell him this news. At the time he had only laughed at the news.
It was only under the constant nagging of Hu Mei Er that Hu Man had very begrudgingly sent people to investigate that area.
Hu Mei Er had clearly stated that this affair couldn't be leaked to the Long Family. But Hu Man didn't really care about the news; he felt that it was his daughter's mischievousness to attract his care for her. Coupled with the fact that the mine site was under the management of Long Zai Tian, he naturally couldn't hide it from him. But when he had gone to his place he was found dead killed by his own hand. They tried to found the cause for his actions but they couldn't find the reason for it.
The evacuation site that Hu Mei Er said wasn't that far from the mine. Ten or so Blood Battle Gang Disciples painstakingly spent several days before discovering that something was truly unordinary in the place they were digging.
It was actually full of seals, so the Disciples hurriedly ran to report this to the various elders.
After Hu Man received the news, he immediately went to personally investigate. Unfortunately due to those seals, he couldn't see or hear anything.
Hu Man had a feeling, that the thing hidden within was some type of unspeakable secret. If the Blood Battle Gang was able to obtain it, then their power would rise by another level. Not only would their power rise, they would also be able to surpass the Eight Great Families; at the very least, they would be able to stand on equal footing with them.
Hu Man was also a bit vexed. At the time, Hu Mei Er had constantly reminded him to not let the Long family know of this news, but he hadn't taken her seriously. Now not only did they know, all the upper echelons of the group knew.
After returning from the mining area that day, Hu Man had hurried to Hu Mei Er to ask her how she knew there was something hidden below the ground.
What he didn't expect was that due to this affair, Hu Mei Er had a large argument with him. Through the bustle, Hu Man found out that Hu Mei Er found this through the guidance of an expert. It was this expert that discovered the secret in the mine.
Because of his mindlessness, he had failed the task the expert had entrusted his daughter. And that expert didn't want the Long Family to know of this news.
"My daughter, what is this expert like?" Hu Man held a deep respect for those hidden experts. To be able to see the hidden secrets meters below the ground symbolized that they possessed high cultivations.
In Hu Man's mind, that expert definitely possessed Heaven and Earth shocking power.
"What kind of expert?" At the time, the image of Yang Kai appeared within Hu Mei Er's mind, causing her face to turn red. Glancing at her father she replied, "Not telling you!"
Seeing her reaction, Hu Man became rooted to the spot. This made him wonder if his daughter held feelings for that expert.
This expert was actually a young person. This type of person, how could their birth be ordinary?
"My daughter, Could it be you like the opposite party?" Full of spirit, Hu Man made his inquires. In his eyes, his daughter would definitely be married, but the most important question was who she would be married to. If she could marry into one of the Eight Great Families, then it couldn't be any better. Then the Blood Battle Gang would be able to soar up like a phoenix.
But this keen eyed, superior young person wouldn't be so bad either.
"If I do like him, what can you do?" Hu Mei Er hidden sighed out.
"If you like them, then try to get closer to them. My daughter is this beautiful, could it be that he doesn't put you in his eyes?" Hu Man egged her on, "Wait, could it be that he already has a wife? What could this be counted as? A man having three, four wives is very ordinary."
Pivoting her body around, Hu Mei Er widened her eyes and retorted. "It's because of you, that I have failed the task he had given me. How could I have any more face to meet him again? Humph!"
Hearing those words, Hu Man could only laugh mockingly. How could he have known that the words his daughter said were actually true? If he knew the truth, he wouldn't have spread out news of this secret.
One couldn't help but point out that Hu Man completely misunderstood Yang Kai. If he knew the young expert in his heart was merely a Trial Disciple of High Heaven Pavilion, he wouldn't have enough time to keep Hu Mei Er away from him. How would he have the time to let her get closer to him?
Gathering his thoughts, Hu Man let out another long sigh. The problems this affair caused really gripped the heart. His little daughter was constantly in closed door cultivation these past few days. It was the complete opposite of what she liked to do before; going out to play around. There was quite a significant increase in her cultivation, especially in the case of Hu Jiao Er she unexpectedly reached divine movement realm 3 days ago, when he tried to ask what is the reason she said that I come in contact with a expert that help her in her cultivation.
Just as he was standing up to leave, Hu Man stopped in his tracks and lifted up his head. Looking outside, his face couldn't help but turn heavy looking.
In the next moment, all of the Lords and Elders shut their mouths and turned their heads.
A formless aura, like the heavens were falling on their shoulders, pressed down on the shoulders of those present; shaking them to their very core.
An expert had graced the Blood Battle Gang! The discussing group within the hall could all feel his presence.
Following that, a young vigorous voiced sounded next to everyone's ears, "Where is Hu Man?"
This voice was very flat; you couldn't hear any emotion within it. But everyone on site couldn't help but tremble, and they couldn't help feel that the expert that had suddenly descended came with some ill intent.
Searching for the Sect Master of the Sect, Everyone looked at each other simultaneously and couldn't help but hold some doubt within their hearts.
"Follow me outside to look." Standing up, Hu Man walked in large strides outside, so the various Lords and Elders had to follow.
Coming outside the room, people saw someone standing in mid-air. That person was a Young man maybe yet not 16 his face is covered by some type of artifact unable to see through his face that was standing strongly in the air. This person gave a sinking feeling to everyone. His sharp eyes had swept over everyone, just like a hawk viewing the earth from the sky, his eyes viewed everything with disdain, arrogance and wildly abandon.
When Hu Man looks at him, he feels like he is staring at a mountain which he will never be able to surpass, a river that can't be crossed. Even if he consumed all of his life energy he will only be able to look up to him.
The person who was standing there was naturally Yang Kai. After coming out from the training tower he received his daily sign-in mission for which he had to speed-up some things that's why he thinks of coming to force open that dragon-phoenix inheritance seal.
"Are you Hu Man?" Yang Kai asked
Hu Man couldn't help but revolve his Yuan Qi. It looked like his life was on a thread in this critical moment but he was able to maintain his composure, after all he was a Master of a group, he had already mentally strengthened himself. If he was frightened by the opposite party's few words wouldn't it look highly improper?
"I am Blood Battle Gang Sect Master, Hu Man." Hu Man asked with a calm face.
"Don't worry, I am here for something" looking around yang kai turn his head to the sealed place. He then waves his hand breaking the seal.
The next moment, a fiery ray of light burst out from the ground. This ray of light soon turned into a fire dragon. Following closely to the dragon was a blue light, which turned into a majestic ice phoenix, flapping her wings.
The two giant forms turned into one. The fiery red and the ice blue both blend mutually together, producing a beautiful sight. However, the form emitted out a kind of unapproachable burning hot and cold energy attack; so strong that no one felt confident enough to resist.
"Retreat!" Hu Man shouted, forcing his clansmen to fall back.
Even with his Origin king strength, Yank also fell back. He too had felt that he was unable to resist the energy attacks.
After all they were once holy dragon and phoenix empress, so it was natural
Suddenly, the dragon roared. The sound was so powerful that people could feel their ears splitting. Following the dragon, the phoenix made a resounding cry.
As they both continued to circle about in the sky, the people who were more superstitious considered this as a good omen.
After a long time, the dragon and phoenix both simultaneously flew back into the cave.
As the two forms reentered the cave, a loud bang could be heard. The earth started to tremble as a much larger burst of Yuan Qi fluctuation spread out from the cave. The energy this time was much more powerful than the time the dragon and phoenix appeared. The whole mining area became bright, as though a ray of sun light continued to engulf this area.
After a while, the ray of light dissipated gradually as the Yuan Qi fluctuations also calmed down. It was slowly returning to the previously tranquil environment.
Now, above the cave, there was a thin light barrier, about 33 meters from the surface, preventing anyone from looking inside of the cave. Mysterious writings could be found on this light barrier.
Heaven's Cave Inheritance...
A Heaven's Cave Inheritance was formed from a profound cultivator at the time of his death. The place holds the opportunity to grasp all the valuable secrets and knowledge that the cultivator had experienced in his lifetime. Such an opportunity to study the cultivator's knowledge is indispensable. Moreover, the cave must have held some treasures that this cultivator had held onto at the time of his death. For example, Medicine Pills or Secret Treasures.
Buried underground was such an unimaginable treasure. How could it not be good news for the Blood Battle Gang? Moreover, Hu Man and the others managed to identify this cave as the Heaven's Cave Inheritance in legend! Knowing very well the treasure that could be found inside the cave.
However, at the same time, they were aware of the gravity of this issue. Due to the commotion earlier on, the other two schools must have been alerted. They must also be aware of this cave. Thus, the Bloody Battle Gang would not be able to monopolize the cave.
If the Bloody Battle Gang were to try to monopolize the cave, the two other schools, Storm House and High Heaven Pavilion would definitely join up to eradicate the Bloody Battle Gang and split the treasure amongst them.
Knowing this, Hu Man pointed the cave and shouted. "Go!" He feared that with the arrival of the two other schools, they would take away a lot of benefits from within the cave. Hence, he wanted to swiftly take as much as he could before they arrive. Allowing the other schools to only receive leftover treasures.
After he issued the order, Bloody Battle Gang's ten experts rushed forwards towards the cave, while vigilantly looking at Yang Kai, in fear that he might stop to get rid of them after all he was the one who find this cave.
Who would have thought that Yang Kai would not do anything but sneer at them?
Hu Man and the others were naturally overjoyed. Thought that senior don't have the interest in the treasure.
The ten experts arrived at the underground cave entrance and moved forwarded.
Yang Kai, continued to sneer as his facial expression was that of taunting them to continue.
He went forward and tried to enter the cave but was thrown back much like his other clansmen.
When Hu Man realized that something was wrong, he turned vision to Yang Kai He noticed that this Young man had known that something like this would happen, or else, why would he sneer and taunt them? Hu Man cupped his hands and lowered his stance, "senior, may I ask what is wrong with this Heaven's Cave Inheritance?"
But suddenly, he could hear multiple flap sounds of clothing from afar.
The Blood Battle Gang experts' complexions turned bitter and astringent and some muttered, "That was too fast…"
In a short while, five Great Elders and the store keeper Meng Wu Ya from High Heaven Pavilion appeared under the leadership of Wei Xitong above the mining area. After a while, the Storm House Divine Movement Realm Experts also arrived, under the leadership of House Master Xiao Ruohan
Both schools were shocked after noticing the Heaven's Cave Inheritance. Their vision was now filled with greed and surprise.
Hu Man was fuming with rage, shouting, "This is the Bloody Battle Gang's mining area! How could you trespass here?"
Wei Xitong said. "Master Hu, this place should be the Heaven's Cave Inheritance of legends. Although the buried treasures inside are innumerable, it holds many dangers as well. Your Bloody Battle Gang member alone may not be able to tackle such a place. Come; let's discuss how we are able to help you explore this cave."
Hu Man angrily retorted "This is my Bloody Battle Gang's mining area. The restrictions here are naturally ours. However we are unable to explain it and likewise, you think that you could? With your abilities, do you think that you have the qualifications to enter?"
Yang Kai coldly snorted not wanted to waste any more time "I will explain the restriction!"
Hu Man awkwardly and bitterly looked towards Yang Kai, not daring to refute this young man.
After explaining he left his clone here then he entered in the sect.
Xiao Ruohan smiled "Master Hu you should calm down a little. This is a matter that we have to discuss!"
From a distance, crowds of experts were still gathering to see the ruckus. No matter how far away they were, be it in the Black Wind Trade city or in their schools, they were all able to see the dragon and phoenix blend together in the sky. Although many did not know the situations at the mines, if there were going to be more magnificent scenes, how could they not want to watch? Therefore, after the dragon and phoenix flew back down, the people started heading there.
Several doors being opened from the Black Wind Trade City.
A few known figures came out. High Heaven Pavilion's Su Yan, Bloody Battle Gang's Hu Jiao Er, Storm House's Fang Ziji. All three of them held dignified auras as they looked towards the position of the battle grounds. All three simultaneously flew, changing into afterimages, together heading to the battle grounds.
Su Yan was the fastest, next was Hu Jiao Er and finally, Fang Ziji.
After those three flew off, a few people emerged from their dwellings. Some were in fear while others were startled due to the chaos. However, one young boy was interested in the chaos and shouted out, "something is happening over there! I'm going to have a look!"
After that boy ran forward, followers began to emerge and ran forward as well. Shops in the district closed as the people in Black Wind Trade City got over their fear, which turned into interest, and ran towards the battle ground to see what was happening.
The dragon and phoenix were well known as good omens. If those beings were an indication of treasure, they expected that there would be a large fight over it.
