The chaos has appeared so abruptly so the focused Gods couldn't stop the rampaging woman. They were focused with the furious Guardians as they paused more threat and they just couldn't even divert their attention to something else.

The most surprised person was Elo Huo, with wide open eyes and an expression of disbelief, he stared at his woman who was attacking the Water Cloud sect.

"Granny Teresa! What's the meaning of this?"

Krores was enraged as he saw the disciples of his sect being attacked in such a critical moment, but when he saw the utter sock displayed on the old woman's face, he knew that it wasn't planned and this was probably the work of an outsider. The chaos intensified when the large dog with sharp spikes growled loudly and jumped on Krores, intending to swallow him whole.

In response to the leaping dog, Krores didn't hesitate in summoning his God Spirit. A huge transparent four-legged creature that resembled a lizard. He unleashed all his Nether Energy causing rain to heavily pour out of nowhere, the God Spirit clashed with the Dog but the latter had the advantage as it bit down on the lizard, wanting to tear it apart. Fortunately, the other two Gods from the Water Cloud Sect used their God Spirits to join the battle. One was a lizard similar to Krores but with wings and the other was a sea lion that had a strange horn on its forehead.

Three God Spirits clashed with the dog yet despite the huge numerical disadvantage, the Guardian wasn't fazed as its eye lit with a red light and the spikes from its back stretched at an insane speed, sending two of the God Spirits flying far away.

On the other side, things weren't looking too good for Kai Min's camp, Arthur was like a raging bull, firing left and right without minding anyone. Obviously, the disciples were shocked at first but soon began to retaliate with Kai Min, who was the first to attack Elo Huo's woman.

As for the one-armed Elo Huo, he kept shouting at the woman, telling her to stop but it was futile, it's as if he was shouting to a deaf person. After a few tries, he stopped trying, however, he didn't go save her personally since it was too late, she already injured a lot of Kai Min's juniors and she was injured in return, she even lost a leg.

The woman was deemed as an enemy so Kai Min didn't hold back as he wielded his saber and cut her more than one time, causing endless blood to gush out of her abdomen and back.

A bit more time later, the woman's lifeless corpse fell to the ground, full of injuries and completely unrecognizable. Elo Huo had an ugly expression but he didn't dare reprimand the Water Cloud disciples as it was the woman's fault, to begin with, and if he had helped her, it would have caused more problems and the two sects would enter a war which is not a favorable thing neither is it worth it. He had feelings for the woman but apparently not enough to sacrifice himself for her, in Huo's way of thinking, a lover could be replaced, contrary to his life.

Deep underground, which his present completely concealed, Arthur stared at the Spatial Master, who was near Kai Min, still invisible. He didn't overdo things to not force this master to personally handle that woman which is why Kai Min 'killed' the rampaging woman easily. In fact, he didn't really kill Arthur as that would cause a temporary decrease in his stats, he just pretended to have died by falling on the ground and leaving the host. As for the woman and her life? He couldn't care less, her behavior resembled his ex-wife a lot and for women like that, he never intended to show mercy.

Currently, the two Gods coming from Elo Huo's academy were fighting the fearsome humanoid Guardian, and the remaining three Gods were ganging up on the dog. It would be far-fetched to finish those Guardians in a short time, which is why the elders ordered the disciples to go inside right now since the Guardians can't stop them.

With no obstacle in their way, Cold Sword, Kai Min, and the rest headed inside the palace. Kai Min was on high alert after what just happened, he only brought ten disciples with him as all the rest were injured by the woman's flames. Elo Huo was surprisingly alone, he didn't want to bring anyone lest they do the same thing so he decided to venture alone, this decision was approved by the fighting elders.

'Arrogant yet wise, it's indeed rare.'

Arthur didn't expect Elo Huo to remain calm after having his Lantern swallowed, arm ripped off and lover killed. Although he had an unpleasant expression, he didn't start shouting or spouting nonsense, he just entered the palace silently.

Just like the rogue cultivators who managed to reach this far, Arthur possessed the body of the usual young man and joined these cultivators as they entered the main palace.

There wasn't many of them, only twenty but each of them was powerful enough and had some skills. The annoying chains were carefully hidden and their noise vanished when Arthur activated his skill.

The red-haired youth joined the fray, walking only a few meters behind Arthur. His eyes were still closed as he walked in a leisurely manner without showing any of the cautiousness the others were displaying.

One has to know that to get those desired priceless plants, one must overcome one if not countless dangerous obstacles. You would rarely find treasures laid on the ground ready for you to scavenge them all.

Once they entered the Palace, a large garden present itself in front of them, it had an artificial mountain in its center and ten doors lined up next to each other.

In total, only fifty-two people entered the main palace, most of them were rogue cultivators. Arthur patiently waited for Kai Min to pick a door, as for the red-haired youth, he chose a random door and entered. Cold Sword seemed to be waiting too, her eyes were fixated on Arthur, she saw him here when they entered the Garden and couldn't let go of what happened in the past. She saw a great opportunity now and waited for the young man to chose a door first so she could follow him.

Arthur didn't pay her any heed, even if she attacked him or butted in, his plans won't be ruined. Since he the Gods are not with Kai Min now then everything is in his grasp.

A few minutes later, there were only two figures standing in the garden, Arthur and Cold Sword, who didn't stop gazing at him which was pretty uncomfortable, especially when she isn't holding back her murderous intent.

When he was certain that enough time has passed, Arthur headed for the door Kai Min entered. This time, he planned to take thing pretty seriously, he took out Makaze from the storage and put it on his waist, sheathed. The blade vibrated in response, expressing itself and somehow communicating it with him.

It had devoured a lot of swords that Arthur got from the Kang Treasury House so its rank increased and its appearance changed a bit. It had become blacker than usual with its ornaments pulsating with a violet light and its handle taking the gray color. It has been quite some time since Arthur used it as he relied on his skills and other technique but this time, he wanted to finish things in seconds and Makaze was the best and wisest choice.

Meanwhile, Cold Sword was a distance away from Arthur, just like a lion stalking its prey, moreover, she didn't mind being discovered as she knew how strong her opponent was. Although she was not an idiot and could tell that she wasn't his match, she wasn't the type to give up easily, especially after such public humiliation.

...

After the two of them walked for a couple of minutes, they arrived at a soundless and dark room. There were no signs of Kai Min or any of the other disciples. Without pausing for even half a step, Arthur marched inside the room while unleashing an absurd amount of black lightning. Being bombarded by nonstop Demonic Lightning, the usually resistant illusion shattered in an instant and showed a narrow corridor to Arthur, who proceeded toward it.

Cold Sword wasn't as lucky, the illusion that shattered have recovered instantly, trapping her inside. She didn't have special lightning like Arthur so she resorted to brute force, slashing her large sword left and right until she finds a way out. This illusion is but a small test for the incomers, it's not deadly and after some time, anyone will be able to get out of it. Basically, it's sole purpose is to waste time.

By this time, only Arthur and Kai Min and his protector were able to get out immediately and Arthur knew this which is why he didn't want to waste time.

At the end of the corridor was also a garden but this one was smaller than the previous one, there was a clean lake on the Western side of the garden, it was a beautiful sight with numerous blue butterflies fluttering their wings and flying from one flower to another. No one would believe this garden is inside a palace, much less an ancient deadly tomb.

Currently, in this room stood three figures, one was Kai Min who tightly held his saber and had a serious expression, the other was the Spatial Master who revealed himself, last but not least was the red-haired youth.

With two blood red eyes that showed indifference and no emotions, the youth revealed an evil smile as he stretched his hand and retrieved a long halberd with a thick scent of blood....
