Chapter 343

"You call this tearing down the bridge after crossing the river!"

"I, Bei Da Ye, protest!"

Xiao Tian kept shouting.

"Keep it down."

Tianpeng quickly scolded: "Do you want to attract all the spirit beasts in the mountains?"

Those guys are all recipients of Yun Zhongzi's grace; if they discover us, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Bei Shuai isn't saying I won't give it to you, look at your little achievement—is that all?"

Xiao Tian also realized his mistake, solemnly closed his mouth, licked his nose, and muttered softly: "Hmph, who let you guys talk like that about Bei Da Ye?"

How many treasures has he helped Tianpeng find on a daily basis? Turning face and denying the dog!

Truly hateful!

Tianpeng ignored him further, instead looking toward Xiong Dao Ren and encouraging: "Dao Ren, it's up to you now."

"I will surely not disappoint Peng Ge's expectations."

Xiong Dao Ren patted his chest and immediately began releasing divine communication, Xuan Tian Jia Jia.

Xiong Dao Ren waved his bear paw, and two invisible forces enveloped Tianpeng and Xiao Tian.

"Peng Ge, let's go—I've already laid down a concealment formation for you!"

"It won't be detected."

Tianpeng nodded slightly, about to step forward.

"Wait a moment, wait a moment."

Xiao Tian suddenly spoke up.

With a thought, Xiao Tian reduced his form to its original size.

Last time, it was precisely this trick that prevented his exposure; otherwise, the grass on his grave would now be a zhang high.

No, he might not even have a grave—he'd just be finished off as dog meat soup, tossed aside after eating.

Before, it was like unintentionally planting willows that grew into shade; this time, he had prepared in advance—there must be no mishap.

Xiao Tian flicked his tail: "Alright, let's go."

A person, a dog, and a bear arrived before Yuzhu Cave, took the lead in stepping forward, and began probing with divine communication.

The cave dwelling has a defensive great formation; it must be cleared first.

Tianpeng waited quietly to the side; even the usually chatty Xiao Tian remained silent now—they all knew this was a critical moment.

Suddenly, Xiong Dao Ren's bear face furrowed, and he let out a soft "yi."

"What's wrong?"

Tianpeng hurriedly asked.

"Why is this cave dwelling still the original defensive formation?"

Xiong Dao Ren was deeply puzzled.

Xiao Tian, however, showed no disdain: "Original is original—what's wrong with that? Saves us from slowly deducing it; just break it open and be done."

"Superficial."

Tianpeng let out a light snort.

"Since we've already taken this cave dwelling once, it shows the formation is meaningless now; Yun Zhongzi, to prevent further incidents, should have changed the cave's defensive formation, right?"

Tianpeng's words pierced Xiong Dao Ren's thoughts—this is also how a normal person should think.

How could Yun Zhongzi, a great cultivator of the Quasi-Saint stage, possibly lack even this bit of sense? "What's the big deal?"

Xiao Tian stared blankly, shook his dog head: "Maybe this is the best defensive card he can play—other options are worse, so he can only use this one."

"What do you think of this formation?"

Xiao Tian looked at Xiong Dao Ren and asked.

Xiong Dao Ren pondered deeply in his heart, then answered seriously: "This formation is quite advanced, with layered restrictions; at least for me, breaking it still requires considerable effort."

Of course, he meant before; if it were now, with prior experience, he wanted to break it again—he would absolutely do it with ease.

"Then it's settled."

Xiao Tian grinned, revealing an air of sudden understanding.

"Yun Zhongzi, no matter how awesome, is only a Quasi-Saint, not an all-powerful Saint."

"Yun Zhongzi excels in refining weapons, not formations; perhaps his formation skills are at most this level."

Xiao Tian spoke solemnly.

Tianpeng stared, speechless for a long time—what immense courage it takes for a little True Immortal like Xiao Tian to say Yun Zhongzi only has Quasi-Saint cultivation, and even then, only this level—people with far worse formation attainment could still thrash tens of thousands of you!

However, Tianpeng nodded, unwilling to deny: Xiao Tian's words still hold some truth; perhaps this is Yun Zhongzi's highest level.

"Dao Ren, continue—if anything abnormal happens, tell me immediately."

Tianpeng instructed.

Now that we've come this far, not going in to try would truly be regrettable!

"Understood, Peng Ge."

Xiong Dao Ren nodded heavily, began deducing the formation's solution.

At this moment, in a mountain cave near the mountain range, Yun Zhongzi sat cross-legged on a stone bed, spirited and alert.

No, one could say he has been spirited all day.

This is the cave dwelling he temporarily opened with magic power.

His purpose was to use this opportunity to test and probe—he wanted to see whether that thief still dared to come again, although he knows the chance is extremely slim, after all, who knows where the thief hides after stealing? He might not show his face for hundreds or thousands of years, let alone commit another crime—but his inner indignation still drove him to try.

If no one comes, it would be reasonable—Yun Zhongzi's revenge would be hopeless.

If someone comes, then don't blame me, Yun Zhongzi, for being heartless.

This isn't because I'm narrow-minded; it's really that this provocative challenge is too hateful!

Under normal circumstances, even if someone openly bears a grudge, it's impossible for them to do such a thing.

This matter is truly excessive; I'm not just trying my luck, I've also made some preparations in my cave dwelling.

Although the formation array outside hasn't changed, there are hidden mechanisms inside the cave dwelling.

Moreover, since I'm relatively close, once the formation array is triggered, I can arrive instantly, and then I can catch the thief in the act, making it impossible for the thief to escape even with wings.

With the previous foundation and experience, Xiong Dao Ren quickly and silently dispelled the great array.

"Peng brother, that's enough, let's go in."

Xiong Dao Ren greeted and walked in the very front.

This is for safety's sake; who knows what's in the cave dwelling now, so it's better for him to use divine communication to lead the way.

Tian Peng nodded and followed behind Xiao Tian, one in front and one behind.

Compared to last time, the cave dwelling hasn't changed much; only the pit dug last time has been completely repaired.

"Dao Ren, are there any new hidden formation arrays inside?"

Tian Peng scanned the surroundings and asked cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Xiong Dao Ren shook his head and honestly replied: "No, it's truly exactly the same as before; there's no change in the number, types, or positions of the formation arrays."

Tian Peng slightly nodded his head; perhaps it's truly as Xiao Tian said, this is already the highest level of Yun Zhongzi's formation array attainment.

Maybe Yun Zhongzi is thinking that after succeeding once, they wouldn't dare come again!

Little do they know they are bold and meticulous!

They even want to steal a second time!

"Xiao Tian, start looking for treasure."

Thinking of this, Tian Peng looked toward Xiao Tian and said.

"What? At this time, you're thinking of Bei Da Ye?"

Xiao Tian's dog eyes glanced sideways, his face showing a bit of pride.

"You hurry up."

Tian Peng urged, "Staying a moment longer in such a place adds one more point of danger."

If it weren't for Xiao Tian, he and Dao Ren would just be fumbling around; now that we have this convenience, why not use Xiao Tian's head shaking and swaying: "Once we get the treasure, Bei Da Ye's share absolutely cannot be missing."

"Alright, alright, alright, stop dawdling, hurry up."

Under Tian Peng's urging, Xiao Tian activated the divine communication million smell heavenly spirit.

After taking a deep sniff, Xiao Tian began to distinguish the various smells permeating the air.
