Chapter 207 - Plotting in Darkness
On this day, a man and monkey arrived in a rush outside of Ethereal Peak.
Passing through the fog formation, their descent on the main peak attracted much attention.
“Eh, Junior Brother Su is back!”
“That monkey beside him is another spirit beast of his?”
“Junior Brother Su seems to have a special connection with spirit beasts. Including this monkey, he has two now.”
“If one has too many spirit beasts, their power of the blood oath is spread out and will definitely weaken. This Su Zimo is going to get into trouble sooner or later!”
When the disciples caught sight of the man and monkey, their eyes had different looks as they discussed fervently.
When Su Zimo had just joined the inner sect, he caused quite a stir when he overwhelmed Sun Tao and friends using his thunder techniques.
Even if monkey had an ordinary bloodline, the cultivation technique imparted to it by Die Yue would cause that to change.
As for the spirit tiger, it was indeed nothing more than any other ordinary beasts.
Ignoring the fact that there was a difference in their cultivation realms, even if they were at the same realm, the spirit tiger would be beaten up badly by monkey!
The difference in their bloodlines was way too great!
With a flip, monkey rode on the spirit tiger and started pummeling its head with clenched fists.
Gong! Gong! Gong!
After a few consecutive strikes, the spirit tiger was completely dazed and was dumbstricken.
Swoosh!
Little crane pounced over from the side, sticking out a pair of sharp talons that glistened with a cold light towards monkey’s back.
Without even turning back, monkey slammed with a rod.
The wind howled!
Little crane was shocked and did not dare to take it head on, dodging to the side to try and deal with it.
Against little crane who could fly at any moment, monkey was helpless as well and could only ride on the spirit tiger while yelling at little crane.
“Ow! Ow!”
“Caw, caw!”
Little crane replied with a high pitched and agitated tone.
The spirit tiger beneath monkey would roar from time to time as well.
The concurrent cries of three different demon beasts rang out and Su Zimo could no longer hear clearly what they were talking about.
However, he could roughly guess that monkey wanted to be the king and leader of the trio.
However, the spirit tiger and little crane were indignant and would not allow it.
Monkey took the demon beast egg from Su Zimo’s hands and pointed at it, screaming for a while.
Before long, the three spirit beasts reached a common consensus.
They would take turns hatching that demon beast egg. Whoever the spirit beast that’s hatched chooses to follow will be their king!
For three spirit beasts, the 24 hours in a day could originally be divided into 8 hours each.
However, the spirit tiger was the most pitiful…
The 8 hours that it originally had was forcefully taken over by monkey and little crane, leaving it with only 4 hours.
…
In another cave abode of Ethereal Peak.
It was dark and quiet. Feng Haoyu assumed a lotus position, surrounded by many spirit stones.
He had already reached perfected Foundation Establishment and had unlocked a meridian!
All of a sudden!
A sinister wind blew.
Feng Haoyu opened his eyes. He was not in a hurry to look around and was instead deep in thought, as if he was waiting for something.
“Su Zimo is back.”
Before long, a hoarse and erratic voice sounded out right in Feng Haoyu’s cave abode.
Feng Haoyu frowned.
The person in the darkness continued, “If I’m not wrong, that tempering technique that the disheveled old man obtained in Sky Treasure Auction House should be for him.”
“It’s easy to kill Su Zimo.”
Feng Haoyu said in a low voice, “However, how can we wipe out the other three legacy disciples of Ethereal Peak while killing him at the same time? If we only lay our hands on a single one of them, it’s going to alert the rest. The only way to have Ethereal Peak suffer a great loss is by crippling four of them at the same time. That way, they won’t be able to achieve anything in the four ranking lists of the sect competition.”
“Don’t worry, the opportunity has arrived.”
The hoarse voice said, “Once this fight is over, you and I can both return to the sect with honor in our names.”
