“Elder, help, help… . ” The two disciples who were still breathing begged the senior for help .

They've been seriously injured . If they don't leave now then it's their life that would on the line . Furthermore, among the two remaining individuals, one of them was in fact the direct disciple of the sect leader from the Sky Armor Sect .

But on the contrary though for Zhu Ge Yi, if he were to send the two out for healing, it would also mean the end of his venture into the Star Cave . Darkening in his expression, the senior slowly moved up to the survivors, “I will . ”

Then before the two moaning survivors could even look up at their supposed ally, Zhu Ge Yi had smashed down with a palm strike at their heads and sending them along their way . There were no pity or remorse for what he's done . Instead, only a cold dark smirk could be seen on the old fella's face… .

He came specifically for the Ninth Realm pill, now that the disciples are dead and the treasured mouse of the Lord missing, he's got no compelling reason to continue helping his sect . Any contribution gained from returning with the treasure would be absolved by his failure .

So, why not finish the deed and take the treasure and leave? If he has such a valuable reincarnation pill then he too could advance into levels beyond compare . Then with the support of his granddaughter's connection within the Three Life Valley, plus the advancement of Old Lord Hong of Da Xia, their family as a whole would become untouchable!

After making up his mind, Zhu Ge Yi moved quickly . Rummaging through the corpses, he gathered all of the valuables they carried and dived deeper into the tunnel for his awaited treasure .

“This Zhu Ge Yi really is a cruel and heartless . To think he would kill his own like this . ”

After the senior left, that's when Ling Yue and her companions came out of hiding to reveal their frowning faces . Of course, the displeasure wasn't directed at the death of the enemy, rather its of how close they came to meeting the same fate as the members of the Sky Armor Sect .

“Ling Yue, what are you doing? Why are you trying to save that person?” Lan Caier asks, bewildered by her sister's action upon noticing how one of them could still be saved with the proper treatment .

“Zhu Ge Yi did us a big favor along the way so of course we need to return the courtesy . ” Chuckling deviously, Ling Yue worked quick and got straight to rescuing this last individual .

It's true under normal circ.u.mstances, a normal healer wouldn't be able to do anything since Zhu Ge Yi's palm strike had dealt a lethal blow to the man's head . However, they didn't have the spirit smoke like Ling Yue did!

Before long the disciple from the Sky Army Sect has regained his consciousness . “You, what are you trying to do to me?” All fearful and unnerved, the man eyes the group nervously .

“Big Brother, you don't have to be afraid, I'm the one who saved you . If I was going to harm you then why would I go through so much trouble, right? Oh yes, if my memories serve me right, you are the direct disciple of the Lord of the Sky Armor Sect . ” Smiling right up to her teeth, Ling Yue's scheming nature was acting up again .

She's already investigated the matter prior to entering and knows exactly what sort of background Zhu Ge Yi and his men has .

“Ye-Yes, I am . Thank you Miss for saving me . ” Rattled even further, the man stutters at being sized up for whatever misdeed the girl has in store for himself .

“Then tell me, why did Zhu Ge Yi only choose the fourth cave?” Practically blooming now, her smile looked like it was barring fangs despite it being so friendly looking .

At first the disciple was still hesitant to answer due to it being their sect's secret, but upon further deliberation and knowing how heavily injured he was, the man knew his chances at the treasure was over .

“Inside the fourth cave here is the Ninth Realm Reincarnation Dan pill . That old b.a.s.t.a.r.d Zhu Ge Yi somehow got wind of this fact and is colluding with his granddaughter to each take one at the very end of the two tunnels . ”

To think its something like that… . Naturally Ling Yue too had heard of this mastercraft variant of a pill .

If Hong Ming Yue were to get her hands on it then its definitely going to that Hong Qing Yun . If that's the case, no one would be able to stop them and the entirety of Da Xia would be under their control . Thinking up to here, the girl's expression promptly turned ugly .

Slowly rising up from the ground, she her voice grew heavy and stern: “Big Brother, if I were you, I would stay in the Star Cave for now to tend to those wounds . Once the thirty days are up, go back and inform your sect of Zhu Ge Yi's betrayal and how he intends to collude with the Hong House . ” Waving a hand, Ling Yue materializes several medicinal bottles to give the patient .

She was naïve back then, believing justice would warrant the destruction of the Hong House . But time and time again, the harshness of reality kept coming back to slap her in the face . It's time she woke up and faced the cruelty of this world to get what she wants .

There's only three reason why the Hong House could keep surviving . Number one, it's Hong Qing Yun, the old fella was a fifth element reincarnation master, the second being the Three Life Valley, and finally the Sky Armor Sect .

Although the Sky Armor Sect was only a second-rate power, but a power was still a force to be reckoned with . Therefore, until Hong Ming Yue could fully mature into the supporting pillar for the Three Life Valley, this sect would have to act like the arms and legs of the Hong House .

What's more, it was precisely the connection of Zhu Ge Rou with her father that Old Lord Hong would expel herself and her mother back then . Since that's the case, what harm was there to let the other party have a taste of the same treatment?

The disciple was still confused at first over the strange instruction, but he quickly understood why . Taking the medicine with him, the person didn't forget to give his thanks before dragging his injured body away for safer grounds .

“We shouldn't delay any longer and try to catch up . If my guesses are correct, Zhu Ge Yi should be closing in on that Ninth Realm pill soon . ”

While many things were happening in the north tunnel, it couldn't be said for the southern one . The Da Xia team was much more fortunate with the leaders.h.i.+p of the prince .

Though they didn't have an amazing treasure like the Sky Armor Sect to sniff out traps or treasures, Xia Hou Qi did have his alchemic beasts to act as sacrifices right up to the sword array like the other party did .

Fortunately, Hong Ming Yue, Luo Song and Manager Chou were all capable individuals . After a short period of struggle, they eventually destroyed the eye and dispelled the elaborate trap at the expense of only minor sc.r.a.ps to their body .

“The Star Cave sure is amazing, who knows what sort of other encounters is awaiting us down below . What's your opinion on this, Your Highness?” Like the rest, Feng Xue (friend) also suffered some injury so her complexion wasn't in the best of shape .

Despite the question being directed at himself, Xia Hou Qi didn't answer, his entire focus was still lingering on Ling Yue's end who he couldn't see yet .

And naturally this sort of picture wouldn't escape the three siblings of the Hong House . They only wanted to snicker a sneer because they are almost certain their grandfather Zhu Ge Yi would've done away with that b.i.t.c.h by now .

While everyone was having their own thoughts about what's happening around themselves, it didn't take long for their journey to reach the final stretch of the cave tunnel . But unlike the previous areas where its just a long winding pa.s.sage with a lot of s.p.a.ce, this area was a giant area that looked very similar to the furnace rooms used by an alchemist .

Zhu Ge Yi looked bleak as he stood in the cave . . . “Elder, help, help… . ” The two disciples who were still breathing begged the senior for help . They've been seriously injured .
