Chapter 72 A Mysterious Cave

Pol and others were done discussing their future plan when the news of their treasury being stolen spread like fire and reached their two clans' leaders' ears.

Which led them to contemplate their next step.

...

On one of the judge camps.

A group mostly consisting of Ragingwave could be seen. Galibar and the elders have finished listening to the report sent by a spy.

"It seems the situation has turned for the worse." One of the elders commented after calculating the future outcomes.

No one disagreed with him. They also felt it had turned worse.

They had predicted that it would cause havoc.

Mingzi pondered. 'What the hell!? It looks like there is no value in cooperating with Elder Thunder anymore. But I can't leave suddenly, or he might spill every bean.'

'Should I eliminate him by raiding their family fully? No! They have nothing left, so if I do anything, they will bite back like a mad dog. I guess I have to see what he comes up with first.'

Galibar had his hands behind his back and thought calmly while looking down at the ground. 'I think we should sit back a little and stop our aggression in the dark. I just hope, Brustiar doesn't lose his sanity and do something excessive. If he does, then I will have to knock some serious sense into him.'

Galibar silently vowed to do everything to finish off the Burnheart if they crossed the line this time, as they had no hand in this theft.

…

On another judge camp.

There could be seen a big crowd and the reason for that was the IceFire Clan's people were present there. Their cold, beautiful appearance was a sight to behold, and no one wanted to miss that.

On top of that, the matriarch and the elders were in the public eye today too. While the other two overlords had mostly men occupying their top positions, in this clan, half of those positions were occupied by women. They were mature and ethereal in appearance.

Julie asked the elders after listening to the report. "What should we do? Should we take action or just be a passerby?"

The head elder of the IceFire Clan answered Julie's question on behalf of the elders. "I think we should be passive, as we always have been. Just guard ourselves and stay out of their mess. Let them kill each other; we can just peacefully grab the fruit after that."

"Yes, matriarch, we should do as Elder Lilly said."

"We shouldn't put our nose into their own personal grievances."

The other elders agreed with the head elder's opinion, whose name was Lilly.

Julie nodded her head, and decided to do what they thought was right. This was not the first time, she had gone along with their decision. Heck! In her entire life, she had listened to her elders.

"Look! Someone has already completed the task!" Suddenly, a yell came from the crowd, which brought everyone's attention.

Julie looked to see that it was from their clan. She said to the elders."Let's discuss this later. We should focus on the competition now."

…

Light Yellow Forest, close to the center.

A group of participants, consisting of a team full of Burnhearts, were standing in front of a cave entrance.

This team was led by a young boy who had wild red hair that was fluttering because of the wind. He had a sharp, double-edged sword hanging down from his waist. He was Bac Burnheart, the youngest son of Brustiar. As the son of the patriarch, he would have his own group of minions.

Like always, the minions would get arrogant by grabbing their master's thighs. Bac and his group were famous in town because of their notorious acts. They would pick up any kind of girl to their liking and abandon her after they were done using her.

Today, in this competition, with full of confidence, he directly delved deep into the center of this forest. Just to try to win by showcasing a grade-3 beast core to everyone.

They did find some, but they were too strong for them. So they were going back a little to encounter a few weaker ones. However, they stumbled upon a mysterious cave.

Bac asked his minions. "Wasn't the terrain of the Light Yellow Forest plain? Then why is there a cave here? I didn't see a single cave or small hill the whole time."

"Master Bac, I think we have encountered an immortal's cultivation place. I heard many people with only great luck can stumble onto these things."

"Yes, yes, master Bac. I also heard something like that. All the big cultivators have encountered this chance, and after that, they were able to become who they are now."

Bac's eyes brightened upon hearing that. His breathing became rough thinking of the bright future he might have. He doesn't have to live in this shitty background place, and he would be able to sleep with all the top-tier fairies around the world.

Bac said loudly with full of arrogance."Haha, the heavens know I have great potential, this is just a small gift for me. Come, let's take this gift, and don't worry, I will share with you the things I wouldn't like."

The minions' eyes also brightened; they didn't have much hope with their talent. So, anything from an immortal's dwelling would be very helpful for them.

They walked into the dark cave, where it was hard to see anything. Fortunately, they were cultivators as their senses have reached heights beyond normal humans.

Slowly but surely, the more they went deep, the path also started to become narrower.

Bac pushed two of his minions in front and told them to lead the way. They could only swallow their curses and listen to his orders.

Then, a few minutes later, they started to see light. In a single file, they ran toward the light.

However, the moment they came before the light, they were blocked by the leading two.

Bac, in anger, kicked their backs. "Idiots, move!"

After opening up the entrance, he went in.

The next moment the light faded, and Bac was greeted by a sight that made him shocked to numb.

"What…the…hell…is this place!?
