Chapter 1120: Cloud Devouring Divine Beas (1/2)
Suppressing the impulse to beat up someone, Huang Xiaolong said, “What if I have Bing Jiuyi, Xie Tu, and Xie Du to help you?”
The little cow shook its head, “That’s the chaos grade Traverse Nine Heavens Lightning Divine Formation, only after a breakthrough to the Ancient God Realm can my lightning force break the formation. Forget Bing Jiuyi and the other two, even a high-level Ancient God Realm master could do nothing here.”
Huang Xiaolong was inwardly alarmed, “Not even a high-level Ancient God Realm master can break this formation?”
The little cow nodded solemnly, “For those Soul Tribe ancestors from a few million years ago to be able to lay out this Traverse Nine Heavens Lightning Divine Formation, the sealed item should be some kind of treasure of their tribe or something they obtained. The formation they arranged is coincidentally the chaos grade Traverse Nine Heavens Lightning Divine Formation that my lightning can suppress, otherwise, even if I reached peak late-Tenth Order Ancient God Realm, I still wouldn't be able to break the formation.”
Huang Xiaolong exclaimed in surprise. “But, if the thing sealed below is a treasure of the Soul Tribe, it’s impossible for them not to know. How come they haven't sent anyone to search for it?”
The little cow shook its head, “Who knows, maybe they think no one can break the formation here.”
Huang Xiaolong nodded, that was a possibility.
After a brief stop, the two of them flew away from the Shredding Wind Mountain toward the Soul Tribe’s main island.
Five days later, Huang Xiaolong and the little cow appeared at the Soul City on the main island.
Huang Xiaolong found an inn and stayed in the city while searching for information related to the Soul Tribe’s Treasury. Besides that, he also absorbed the energy inside an Ancient God Realm godhead.
After a month of inquiring, he determined that the treasury was inside the Soul City's back mountain, protected by an ancient grand formation and guarded by six old monsters day in day out.
Although Huang Xiaolong didn't know the overall strength of those six guardians, he estimated they should be mid-level Ancient God Realm and above. Therefore, his initial thoughts of barging inside relying on brute strength were unrealistic.
However, Huang Xiaolong found out there were two keys that could open the treasury. One of the keys was in the hands of the current Soul Tribe Chieftain while the other was held by his son!
The Chieftain’s son!
Thus Huang Xiaolong decided his target and planned to find an opportunity to search the Chieftain son’s residence. He may not carry around an important item such as the treasury key on him at all times, which meant there was a chance the key might be hidden somewhere in his residence.
Of course, this was only Huang Xiaolong’s guess. Then again, even if there was only a slim chance, he decided to take this risk.
And it was quite a risk. The Chieftain son’s residence was heavily guarded, Huang Xiaolong needed to prepare well in advance.
Above the sea surface not far away from the main island, Huang Xiaolong had the little cow arrange a chaos grade divine formation. If he was unlucky enough to be discovered by some Soul Tribe experts, he could borrow the power of this divine formation to momentarily delay them.
When all the preparations were in place, he decided to act three days later.
On a dark and windy night, a black shadow moved in the shadows as if it had merged with the darkness of the night, avoiding layers after layers of Soul Tribe guards’ perception, floating into the Chieftain son’s residence.
Once inside the residence, Huang Xiaolong headed straight to the northern courtyard.
According to his findings, the Chieftain’s son lived in the northern courtyard, therefore the treasury key was likely to be there as well.
“The young lord went to the Extraterritorial Devil Battlefield some time back and found two ancient Cloud Devouring Divine Beast corpses. I’ve heard the two corpses had at least Fourth Order Ancient God Realm strength when they were alive!”
“Fourth Order Ancient God Realm Cloud Devouring Divine Beast corpses? How much could they fetch in an auction? Several billion, perhaps?”
“I heard the Young Lord is experimenting with some corpse controlling techniques, I think he plans to refine the two Cloud Devouring Divine Beasts into undead mounts. If it is successful, the battle power of two Fourth Order Ancient God Realm undead mounts must be startling! Oh right, the Young Lord also brought back a woman, captured from the Extraterritorial Devil Battlefield!”
“Woman? What woman?”
