"Nonsense. More than 90% of the troop is here. How can a single guy deal with us?"
The only young man among the generals said in a very arrogant tone.
From his aura it could be seen he has almost no experience.
A bald general nodded and said
"He might be strong but we are over estimating that guy."
"This time all the troops are send only because of an Imperial Prince's whim."
A tall general then quipped from the side
"Not to mention we have been gifted a superior formation from the empire. Even a True Supremo would find it hard to deal with us."
This is the power of the army! There is a reason why Kylo coveted the emperor's throne.
An army with a powerful formation can deal with a powerhouse many realms above the entire army's average realm.
"Yes, even if Kylo is a True Supremo, in the end he is alone! A single guy can't create any waves in front of our entire army."
Said the young man once again with confidence.
"Silence!" The leader at the end couldn't take it anymore before slamming the table with anger.
"Is this what we have been taught? Never underestimate our enemy, this is the general rule of the army!"
"Since when have our First Xia State army have been this ignorant?!"
Everyone was silent. After all what the leader was true.
Since the moment they got the Formation Glavier from Imperial Prince they all became arrogant and over confident.
"I will say it once more. If I see anyone acting beyond my orders, they will face the martial law!"
Everyone shuddered hearing this. They all nodded their heads furiously.
"We will follow fourth general's suggestion. And no more discussion. Dismiss!"
The fourth general is the scarred man. Even the leader had a certain amount of respect for him.
It was because he was the only one among them who had experienced a large scale war.
Many were dismissive about this suggestion and were even dissatisfied.
After all this was like an insult to be so cautious despite having so a superior formation and thousands of soldiers.
And all of this just to deal with a single person!
All of them except the leader and the fourth general exited the tent.
It was unknown what the two discussed but after fifteen minutes the fourth general exited the tent with a gloomy face.

"Just how long do we have to walk?"
Avery asked in a dissatisfied voice. They had been walking for almost two days now but they couldn't see the end.
This cave was only few thousand kilometres big. And they already travelled more than 80% of the cave.
How come this cave was still so big?
"What a weakling to get tired just after walking few hundred kilometres."
Selena hit back without wasting a second.
In fact they could travel by flying instead of walking. But walking was Elena's suggestion.
And Kylo agreed. After all what if they miss some kind of hidden location or some treasure?
"A girl who always argues isn't loved by people." Avery replied in a lazy voice.
They argued as usual and the one who enjoyed the most was Lena, as it could be seen from how she was continuously giggling.
The other three couldn't help but sigh. Nigel asked Elena
"Don't you know anything else about the next area? Or atleast how big is this Heavenly Grotto?"
In fact the dome was enclosed with walls. There was no other passageway.
Or at least that should have been the case.
The passage was found only after the three pillars were broken.
That is after the treasures inside the pillar's house were taken.
The moment all the three pillars broke, the defensive and illusionary rune which was activated all the time also broke.
The so called enclosed wall suddenly disappeared and a narrow passageway enough for three people to walk side by side appeared.
And that is where they are walking right now.
Elena who was just behind Kylo shook her head and said
"As far as I remember we three sisters have always been in the dome. We never had any opportunity or right to go across the dome."
"Since we were in our Spiritual State, we were never hungry or got tired, but our cultivation base was sealed."
The so called spiritual state was in fact nothing but their soul living outside their body.
Their bodies were frozen all these years and only recently they were able to move, thanks to Kylo.
Elena paused for a second before saying in a deep voice
"The only thing I know is... The next area is the last area."
And the atmosphere became solemn.
