Chapter 512 – The Exquisite Situation (2/2)
Once they had joined with Ursa Major Constellation, it meant that they could not join other constellations.
Meng Ta could not believe that the other party could think of such a convoluted plan. He immediately realized what Bing was implying.
Had Tang Tian touted the Ursa Major Constellation name and tried to recruit the Saints, Meng Ta knew that he himself would have ignored it. But in such a situation that he was in, he felt that such an arrangement was rather beneficial to him as well as there was freedom.
This was Bing’s brilliant plan.
Compared to the other plans that they had tried to conceive, this was by far the most brilliant plan that was thought of.
“We shall work together then.” Meng Ta replied. This conclusion was much more positive than any other scenarios that he could thought of. Hence, he immediately accepted it. He could not bear any malice towards Tang Tian and the rest, since they also had no intention of wanting to cause any harm to the saints. Both sides were forced by the current predicament.
Both Bing and Meng Ta signed the martial spirit contract.
Fu Zhong Shan and the rest were all shocked beyond words. When Meng Ta appeared, everyone’s hearts sank. Meng Ta was renowned in the region and was considered one of the most powerful saints among them, even Fu Zhong Shan had to agree.
But this situation…..how did it become like this……
Fu Zi Hong was in awe after seeing what had transpired. Uncle was masterful in seizing opportunities when he saw it. He managed to reach an agreement with such ease.
Only Little Fool was unhappy. His extremely adorable little face was extremely gloomy. The previous five Saints who had surrendered had made him impatient.
Little Fool felt that the origin mark utilized by the fool was beneath him.
He was waiting for his chance to shine. As long as the fool was seriously injured, he could then take over the body and seize control over it. Little Fool, who was wielding Ya Ya’s Umbrella, had utmost confidence of his strength.
He was initially anticipating a strong rival who could defeat the fool.
In the end, a strong martial artist had appeared, but he surrendered and signed an agreement with Bing instead.
Little Fool glared at Meng Ta, his eyes filled with disdain and hate…
Meng Ta noticed the Umbrella that Little Fool was holding and his eyes lit up: “This spirit treasure looks good!”
“It had just been refined and has not been tested before.” Tang Tian replied.
Meng Ta exclaimed: “So you even possess the skill to refine spirit treasures!”
“We have tried it once and it seems like Little Fool has a talent on refining.” Tang Tian replied. He then explained: “Little Fool is my Form Spirit.”
Meng Ta immediately became excited. This cleared any doubts that he had over the agreement he just signed. A Spirit Treasure Master! Tang Tian was actually a Spirit Treasure Master. To an independent saint, they were most welcome to Spirit Treasure Master as compared to any other professions.
Meng Ta was joyous after hearing that: “The spirit treasure I am currently wielding does not seem to suit me properly. I was wondering if you could…”
Tang Tian waved his hand as though he was generous: “Small matter. I will let Little Fool help you refine a new one when we have time!”
Meng Ta was overjoyed: “Thank you master!”
Little Fool was annoyed. His glare was so intense as though he was going to kill someone. He was still pissed at Meng Ta. You did not even dare to fight and you expect me to help you forge a new spirit treasure?
Hehe!
Little Fool sneered in his mind.
Meng Ta suddenly trembled. He felt as if someone was staring at him, looking around, he thought it was just him being too happy.
Even though Tang Tian had promised him, he knew deep down that if he did not provide effort in helping with Tang Tian’s cause, he might not be able to ask for favors in the future from the Master.
I need to put in the effort! I need to fight for his cause!
Meng Ta exclaimed: “Master, right now, there are countless people who are outside waiting for everything that is happening in here. This is a rare opportunity. By making loud noises to mimic a fierce battle had erupted, we can lead the crowd to believe that Master has exhausted all your energy. Then, the Saints outside would definitely be impatient to enter and fight you. By artificially extending the length of each battle, more Saints will want to enter the Single Valve Stronghold as they gain more confidence in thinking they have a higher chance of defeating you. With this plan, you will be able to nab every of the Saints outside with ease in no time.”
For his spirit treasure, Meng Ta had betrayed everyone.
With such a brilliant opportunity present in front of him, he would have regretted not seizing it.
“Good good good! What a brilliant plan!” Bing praised: “Mr Meng Ta is a knowledgeable individual and has contributed significantly to our cause!”
Meng Ta smiled: “Master, thank you for your praise!”
At the start, the crowd outside could not witness anything going on inside the Stronghold. Suddenly, there were loud noises that echoed out from it and the Single Valve Stronghold rumbled, obviously there was a huge battle inside.
“That is the Meng Ta we know! What a fierce battle, it must be horrible!”
“That’s right. The opponent is strong to be able to last that long against Meng Ta!”
……
Tang Tian sat on the floor as he munched on his apple.
Not far away, Meng Ta was striking the ground with force, creating loud noises to mimic a fierce battle. After a while, Meng Ta stopped as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. He looked towards Tang Tian: “Master, we are almost done!”
Tang Tian stood up: “You have done well!”
“It’s my honor it’s my honor!” Meng Ta replied. He left the Single Valve Stronghold from the door behind Tang Tian.
Outside the Stronghold, the crowd saw that the Single Valve Stronghold was intact and the colour had turned green. Everyone was silent.
“Was Meng Ta defeated?”
“They must definitely be suffering too, the battle was too intense!”
“You are right. After such a long and fierce battle, even the most battle-hardened Saint would have been exhausted.”
“Damn it, someone has entered before I could…”
