My Master Knows It All

787: Chapter 231_6 787: Chapter 231_6 This cave isn’t as large as the one from yesterday; it felt slightly cramped with eight people inside, which was only exacerbated with the arrival of three more.

In the depths of the cave, Kou Shaohua, who hadn’t spoken much, looked at the three newcomers and frowned slightly.

Glancing at Linghu Gudu and the others, he suddenly said, “Gentlemen, this cave is already occupied.

Perhaps it would be best if the three of you found another cave, or maybe carved out a new one for yourselves?”

Before, when he saw Linghu Gudu and his group arrive, he had indeed thought about finding another cave.

But now, after seeing more people arrive, he realized a problem—they weren’t the only ones in these ruins.

Even within the cave, they could encounter other people.

If these others were stronger and harbored ill intentions, they too could be in danger.

However, being with Linghu Gudu and his group now, they didn’t need to worry about this problem.

After all, with those four Complete Golden Pill of Ten Strange Phenomena around, who would dare to cause trouble?

The others didn’t know that they weren’t actually with the Four Complete Golden Pill of Ten Strange Phenomena.

However, with more people arriving, the cave did feel quite crowded, and he noticed Linghu Gudu frowning.

Perhaps Linghu Gudu, being such a master, considered it beneath his dignity to drive people away, so Kou Shaohua took the initiative to do so himself.

Among the trio, a young man with distinct facial features and eyes filled with a cold harshness immediately exuded a chilling aura upon hearing this.

Was this man trying to drive them away?

How interesting—that they would dare to send them away.

They were always the ones driving others away; this was the first time someone had tried to drive them away.

The young man made a slight movement as if he was about to react, but a man who looked steadfast and exuded a scholarly air stopped him with a hand.

Even his own junior brother was used to being arrogant and domineering.

But these ruins were different.

The three of them were strong, but there were also many masters who had entered the ruins.

With so many people on the opposing side and with no knowledge of their abilities, it wouldn’t be wise to start a conflict.

He gave a bow to the group and said, “Honored ones, obviously you know that the skulls and resentful spirits will not enter the caves.

However, you may not be aware that a self-carved cave is useless.”

“What do you mean a self-carved cave is useless?” Cao Zhen, Kou Shaohua, and the other eight people inside the cave were momentarily stunned.

Linghu Gudu even asked, “How do you know that a self-carved cave is useless?”

The young man answered without concealment, “Because yesterday, the three of us found a cave to hide from the skulls, and across from us, some people also carved out their own cave to escape the skulls and resentful spirits.

But as soon as they finished carving their cave, those skulls and resentful spirits immediately entered and slaughtered every one of them.

Therefore, only these pre-existing caves are of use.”

“But there’s nothing special about this cave.” Linghu Gudu looked around the cave again; Cao Zhen did the same.

If a self-carved cave didn’t work and the pre-existing caves were safe from skulls and resentful spirits, there must be something special about these pre-existing caves.

But he had looked yesterday, and there were no Formations in those caves.

No Formations, as for any other peculiarities…

Cao Zhen began observing the cave, but after looking around, he found nothing particularly special.

At that moment, the ones who had entered the cave later spoke up again, “Esteemed ones, would you honor us by allowing us to enter this cave.

We won’t disturb you; we can stay at the entrance of the cave.”

Kou Shaohua didn’t speak but looked at Cao Zhen.

Similarly, Linghu Gudu and the others also looked at Cao Zhen.

Cao Zhen nodded slightly and said, “Since you’ve come here, it wouldn’t be right to turn you away, and besides, this cave doesn’t belong to us to begin with.”

They had informed them that the self-carved caves wouldn’t protect them from the skulls and resentful spirits, which was vital information.

Therefore, it made sense to let them stay.

“Then we thank you all very much,” said the young man.

He did not enter the cave but led the three to guard at the cave’s entrance.

Linghu Gudu glanced at them and then continued to inquire Chen Yexian about the Hanging Sky Island.

To others, he seemed like an ordinary person who had only heard of the Immortal Sect and wanted to know everything about it.

At the entrance of the cave, the later arrivals observed the situation of the group and listened to their questions.

The cold young man secretly sent a message to the other two, “Senior brother, these eight people are actually two groups.”

“I can see that.

This might actually be good for us—less chance they’ll suddenly attack us now.

Of course, we must still be wary of them, especially since we are standing at the entrance.

If the number of skeletons outside increases, and they suddenly turn on us and push us out of the cave, we’ll be in trouble,” he replied through a secret message.

“Them turning on us suddenly?

With senior brother here, should we fear their sudden betrayal?” The cold young man sneered contemptuously, for his senior brother was an incredibly strong presence amongst the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.

“Don’t be careless; there are many masters in the world.

And those who could venture this deep at such a time must not be mediocre,” the leading man warned through a secret message and then closed his eyes to meditate and regather his spirit.

The night grew deeper.

Gradually, the mournful screams of resentful spirits began to drift in from outside the cave, and it didn’t take long for the silhouettes of skeletons to appear at the entrance of the cave.

The cold young man opened his eyes and swept over the skeletons outside the cave with a glance.

His gaze suddenly fixed on one skeleton, focusing intently on it.

In a low voice, he said, “That skeleton, what’s in its hand?

Is it a map or a Treasure?”

At the same moment, Cao Zhen and the others also turned their gazes toward the entrance.

Unlike yesterday’s cave, this cave’s entrance was much larger, though not as deep.

Even with the three newcomers guarding the entrance, nothing could obstruct their view.

Soon, Cao Zhen noticed that among the skeletons surrounding the entrance, one of them was holding something in its hand that looked like a map.
