After Taoist Cang Kun led the Blue Whale Elder out of the Enlightened Deity Cave, the former hesitated slightly before saying, ”Blue Whale, don’t rush back yet. Instead, go and guard near the Black Profound Copper Vein.”

”Go and guard near the Black Profound Copper Vein?” The Blue Whale Elder was slightly puzzled upon hearing this, not quite understanding what Taoist Cang Kun meant.

”If I’m right, that Red Lion Cave and Cloud Dragon Mountain probably don’t truly know the master’s real depth and strength, do they?”

Taoist Cang Kun’s eyes flickered as he calmly analyzed, ”If they split their forces, pretending to send troops to the Enlightened Deity Cave to cause trouble on one side, while the real strength is used to surprise the Black Profound Copper Mine Cave, isn’t this your perfect chance to make amends?”

”Right, how did I not think of that.” The Blue Whale Elder wasn’t a fool. Hearing this, he immediately showed a look of excitement, clapping his hands as he understood what to do. Without hesitation, he nodded, saying, ”Then I’ll head over there right now and keep watch for a while.”

”Mmm...”

...

”Chen, do you think that just because you’re at the Peak of Qi Refining Ninth Layer, I, Red Lion Daoist, wouldn’t dare touch you? That’s a Black Profound Copper Essence Vein, do you think you’re qualified to own it?”

Inside the Red Lion Cave’s main hall, upon receiving Luo Quan’s reply, Red Lion Daoist’s expression turned extremely grim and ugly. His eyes were full of murderous intent.

If it were just an ordinary Black Profound Copper Vein, it would be one thing, but this is the Black Profound Copper Essence Vein! That single word makes a world of difference, it’s a treasure beyond measure.

Facing such a huge temptation, how could Red Lion Daoist not be tempted?

”Hmph! Chen Fei, the opportunity has already been given to you, but if you don’t cherish it now, don’t blame me, Red Lion Daoist, for being ruthless.”

Then, he coldly muttered to himself, then waved his hand and shouted, ”Someone, prepare my mount! I must go to Cloud Dragon Mountain.”

”Yes, Lord Cave Master.” Came the reply from outside the hall.

Red Lion Daoist’s mount was a variant White Water Rhino, with thick skin and immense strength, although unfortunately lacking in intelligence, almost brainless. However, as a mount, it was quite suitable. Both imposing and grand.

The territories of the Red Lion Cave and Cloud Dragon Mountain bordered each other, so it didn’t take long for Red Lion Daoist to ride his variant White Water Rhino to Cloud Dragon Mountain. The senior members of Cloud Dragon Mountain received him immediately.

Upon arrival, Red Lion Daoist curbed his arrogance and politely stated his purpose, seeking to meet Headmaster Blackwind’s only closed-door disciple, Zhou Long.

Though Cloud Dragon Mountain was much more powerful than the Red Lion Cave, Red Lion Daoist was not one to fear easily, and of course, he had the right to directly request a meeting with Zhou Long.

So it wasn’t long before Red Lion Daoist and Zhou Long met in a side hall on Cloud Dragon Mountain.

”Cave Master of Red Lion Cave, why are you looking for me?” Zhou Long’s face turned quite unsightly upon seeing Red Lion Daoist, as if ’seeing the person reminded him of matters,’ bringing back the tragic memories of that day at the other’s birthday banquet.

That was sheer humiliation, beyond compare, extraordinarily tragic!

”I naturally came for a matter concerning you.”

Red Lion Daoist was straightforward, knowing that wasting words with someone like Zhou Long was pointless, directly asking, ”Zhou Long, since you were so miserably dealt with by Chen Fei of the Enlightened Deity Cave, let me ask you straight, do you want revenge on that surnamed Chen? Do you want to wipe out the Enlightened Deity Cave to soothe your heart?”

”Of course, I want to! I can’t wait to flay that dog alive, tear him apart!” Zhou Long said through gritted teeth without hesitation.

”That’s good then. Zhou Long, let me be frank with you. If you’re willing to seek revenge against that surnamed Chen, then my Red Lion Cave can immediately join forces with you. Can you give me a prepared word?” Seeing this, Red Lion Daoist sneered coldly with a smile. He knew this matter would be quite straightforward and easy! Given how terribly Zhou Long was handled by Chen Fei earlier, how could he hold back that resentment within?

And with Zhou Long’s status in Cloud Dragon Mountain, even if Blackwind learns of it and can’t intervene, he would surely privately mobilize some elder-level experts of the Qi Refining Ninth Layer! To jointly attack Enlightened Deity Cave.

By doing so, his goal would be achieved.

”Cave Master of Red Lion Cave, you all want to take action against that dog as well? That’s great, I have no problem on my side. I’ll go beg my master later, asking him to secretly send some people over!”

Just as Red Lion Daoist suspected, Zhou Long, having been so badly treated by Chen Fei, couldn’t swallow that resentment no matter what!

Originally, he had pleaded with his master, Blackwind, asking him to seek revenge, but Blackwind had flatly refused, as he seemed to have more important matters to handle.

So for this matter, this resentment, Zhou Long had no one to help him with, only to bear it in silence.

But now, once Red Lion Daoist stated his intention, Zhou Long’s face immediately lit up, with a look of determination to gnaw Chen Fei’s bones to pieces!

Such a great humiliation, if not avenged, would not be tolerated by the heavens!

”Then three days from now, we will meet by the stream thirty miles west of Enlightened Deity Cave, to launch a joint attack on the Enlightened Deity Cave.” After settling things with Zhou Long, Red Lion Daoist decided to fix the time. The sooner, the better.

Because the sooner, the more it would catch Enlightened Deity Cave off guard, unable to react. This would make it easier to implement his true plan.

”Alright, then three days from now, meet by the stream thirty miles west of Enlightened Deity Cave.” Upon hearing this, Zhou Long agreed without hesitation.

He also wished for the sooner the better, as he couldn’t wait to see himself brutally punishing that surnamed Chen ad absurdum, until death!

After all, such a great humiliation, how could he hold back that simmering resentment? How could he not seek revenge?

Red Lion Daoist came and went quickly. For he had more important matters, deeper hidden plans to deploy and handle.

...

A few hours later, inside a major hall of the Red Lion Cave.

Aside from Luo Quan, the other three Great Elders of the Red Lion Cave had arrived.

One figure wore a long red robe, with scales covering his whole body, resembling some kind of fish that had achieved perfect cultivation; another figure appeared mighty and tall, a burly man, especially those big horns, making him look imposing.

The last figure was dry and skeletal, like a mummified corpse, with eyes chillingly cold, making anyone who met such a gaze feel as though facing a venomous snake, causing a shiver down the spine.

”Hui Yu, Niu Mangshan, Han Xie, I’ve said everything that needs saying, you should understand what the Black Profound Copper Essence Vein signifies! So, this operation can only succeed, cannot fail!

You must seize the Black Profound Copper Mine Cave in one fell swoop while we pretend to attack the Enlightened Deity Cave alongside Cloud Dragon Mountain, got it?”

Red Lion Daoist’s commanding, intense gaze swept across the hall as he took a deep breath and spoke.

”Lord Cave Master, don’t worry. Even if you don’t trust us, consider that Han Xie, Elder Han, has already broken through.”

Hui Yu, covered completely in scales, let out a sinister laugh, his gaze turning towards the skeletal elder behind him.

Boom!

The latter grinned cruelly, releasing a powerful, terrifying cultivation aura of the Qi Refining Ninth Layer Realm!

Seeing this, the Red Lion Daoist finally nodded with a cold smile, calming down.

The Qi Refining Ninth Layer Realm was, of course, more than sufficient.
