Chapter 3254: Black Goat Ridge
Myriad Beast Ridge.
The totems of four beasts were carved on four gigantic stone pillars—dhole, wolf, tiger and leopard—and they supported a solemn Myriad Beast Hall.
At that moment, three leaders of Myriad Beast Ridge, Heavenly Supremacy Wolf, Heavenly Supremacy Tiger and Heavenly Supremacy Leopard, were sitting side by side high up in the hall. The surroundings were silent and the atmosphere was oppressive.
The three of them had grim expressions, clearly troubled.
“Hmph!”
After a long while, Heavenly Supremacy Tiger seemed to be unable to hold it in any longer. He slammed the table and stood up, cursing, “Isn’t Black Goat Ridge way too greedy? They want us to hand over the nine Source Mines of Myriad Beast Ridge right away. It’s really too much!”
“If there’s really no other way, let’s fight them to the death!”
There were a total of nine Source Mines occupied by Myriad Beast Ridge.
When Black Goat Ridge asked for the nine Source Mines of Myriad Beast Ridge, it was almost as though they wanted the entire foundation of Myriad Beast Ridge!
Heavenly Supremacy Leopard looked at Heavenly Supremacy Wolf as well and asked, “Second Brother, make the decision whether we should fight or retreat.”
“How do we fight?”
Heavenly Supremacy Wolf frowned. “Black Goat Ridge has two Great Heavenly Supremacies holding the fort and more than ten Heavenly Supremacies under them. We can’t defeat them at all.”
“Are we going to hand over the foundation that we brothers worked so hard to build to them?”
Heavenly Supremacy Tiger was indignant.
Heavenly Supremacy Wolf said in a deep voice, “It all depends on whether Big Brother can break through his bottleneck in seclusion this time round and become a Great Heavenly Supremacy.”
“If Big Brother advances further and becomes a Great Heavenly Supremacy, we’ll have some room to negotiate with Black Goat Ridge. I believe the two Great Heavenly Supremacies of Black Goat Ridge will be wary as well.”
“There might not be enough time.”
Heavenly Supremacy Leopard shook his head gently and asked, “What should we do if Black Goat Ridge comes knocking before Big Brother breaks through?”
“We’ll delay as much as we can. If we really can’t…”
Pausing for a moment, Heavenly Supremacy Wolf said helplessly, “We can only abandon Myriad Beast Ridge and find another way out. Given our capabilities, even if we leave this territory, we can establish ourselves again in Baldachin State!”
“If one day, all of us brothers break through and become Great Heavenly Supremacies, we can even kill our way back and take back everything in Myriad Beast Ridge!”
“You’re right, Second Brother.”
Heavenly Supremacy Leopard nodded.
Heavenly Supremacy Wolf said, “Get the underlings to sharpen up and increase their guard. If Black Goat Ridge goes crazy and launches a surprise attack, we can be prepared.”
“Don’t worry, Second Brother!”
Heavenly Supremacy Tiger said, “I’ve arranged for four Supremacies and more than 10,000 demon beasts to guard the mountain gate. We’ve also intensified our patrols around Myriad Beast Ridge. If anything happens, we’ll definitely know immediately.”
Right then, a Supremacy was charging over with a strange expression.
The three Heavenly Supremacies were discussing the matter of Black Goat Ridge. When they saw the strange expression of the person, their hearts skipped a beat.
Could something have happened?
“What is it?”
Heavenly Supremacy Wolf asked in a deep voice.
The Supremacy said loudly, “Leaders, at the mountain gate, a man named Su Zimo from Chaos Palace wishes to meet you!”
“Su Zimo?”
Heavenly Supremacy Leopard was puzzled. He looked at the two people beside him. “Who is that? I’ve never heard of him.”
The other two Heavenly Supremacies shook their heads gently as well.
Heavenly Supremacy Tiger frowned. “I’ve heard of Chaos Palace. It’s a third-grade faction that’s about to be destroyed. There’s been no news of them for a long time, why are they here?”
Heavenly Supremacy Wolf asked again, “What’s Su Zimo’s cultivation?”
“A Supremacy at the Third Transformation of the Dao Manifestation realm.”
The Supremacy outside the hall replied.
Heavenly Supremacy Leopard asked, “How many people from Chaos Palace are there? What are their cultivation levels?”
The Supremacy outside the door replied, “The ones with the highest cultivation realms are Supremacies at the Third Transformation of the Dao Manifestation realm. There are a total of two of them and a few other Supremacies. The remaining 3,000-odd people are all below the Dao Manifestation realm and don’t look threatening.”
“F*ck!”
Heavenly Supremacy Tiger cursed and waved his hand impatiently. “Where did this bunch of ants come from? They’re not worthy of meeting the three of us. Kill them for food and share them with your fellow brothers!”
“Thank you, Leader Three!”
The Supremacy bowed and retreated, wanting to leave.
Right then, Heavenly Supremacy Wolf’s heart skipped a beat as he suddenly shouted, “Wait!”
The Supremacy outside the hall stopped in his tracks.
Heavenly Supremacy Tiger and Leopard Heavenly Supremacy turned to look at Heavenly Supremacy Wolf with questioning expressions.
Heavenly Supremacy Wolf narrowed his eyes gradually and asked, “What did the person say? Recount his exact words in detail!”
“I’m Su Zimo of Chaos Palace. I want to meet the four leaders of Myriad Beast Ridge.”
The Supremacy recounted everything word for word.
When he heard that, Heavenly Supremacy Leopard sensed something amiss as well.
This person was so bold!
For a Dao Manifestation realm Supremacy to dare to say such things, it was clear that he was hostile!
Heavenly Supremacy Wolf and Leopard Heavenly Supremacy exchanged glances and thought of Black Goat Ridge at the same time!
Heavenly Supremacy Wolf pondered for a moment before giving the order. “Go and invite Su Zimo and the people he brought over here. Also, arrange for the underlings to prepare good wine and dishes and send them over.”
“Under… stood?”
The Supremacy was puzzled but still acknowledged the order.
When Heavenly Supremacy Wolf saw that this person did not seem to care much, his expression darkened as he berated, “Luo Feng, listen up, I’m asking you to invite these people in properly!”
“You fools had better be smart and mind your manners. Don’t offend these esteemed guests!”
Supremacy Luo Feng agreed hurriedly.
How could he not be confused? Earlier on, Heavenly Supremacy Tiger had just asked them to eat this group of people from Chaos Palace. In the blink of an eye, they had become esteemed guests.
After Supremacy Luo Feng retreated, Heavenly Supremacy Tiger was still confused and asked with a frown, “Second Brother, Fourth Brother, how did these ants of Chaos Palace become esteemed guests?”
Heavenly Supremacy Leopard heaved a sigh of relief and clicked his tongue. “It’s all thanks to Second Brother’s swift reaction. We nearly fell into Black Goat Ridge’s trap!”
“What do you mean?”
Heavenly Supremacy Tiger asked.
Heavenly Supremacy Leopard explained, “There’s an 80% chance that Su Zimo is an envoy sent by Black Goat Ridge. If we kill this group of people, they’ll probably use it as an excuse and leave us with no room for negotiation.”
“Black Goat Ridge is truly sinister!”
Heavenly Supremacy Tiger broke out in cold sweat when he heard that as well. He grit his teeth and said, “It’s no wonder why a Supremacy at the Third Transformation of the Dao Manifestation realm would dare to be so arrogant. So, he has the backing of Black Goat Ridge!”
“However, speaking of which…”
Heavenly Supremacy Leopard continued, “Isn’t Black Goat Ridge looking down on us by sending a few Supremacies over to talk to the four of us?”
The three of them were Supremacies and leaders of a faction.
Under normal circumstances, Black Goat Ridge should at the very least send a Heavenly Supremacy expert over as a form of respect.
“Third Brother, Fourth Brother, don’t get worked up.”
Heavenly Supremacy Wolf had a calm expression. “Let’s see why Su Zimo is here first. We’ll try our best to satisfy his requests.”
“We just have to delay as much as possible and wait for Big Brother to break through his bottleneck in seclusion. Don’t cause unnecessary trouble.”
“Understood!”
Heavenly Supremacy Tiger and Leopard Heavenly Supremacy replied in unison.
