It was the front hall of Sky Demon Sect.
In truth, it was more like a huge altar. Twelve huge dragon pillars supported a huge hall, and at one end of the hall was a dignified and mysterious altar.
At the center of the altar were four Dharma images of the four Heavenly Gods, and they looked as if they were alive.
They were the Dharma images of the four great generals of Heavenly Palace!
The disciples and followers of Sky Demon Sect in the front hall had all been killed. A group of six people surrounded the altar at one end of the front hall quietly and carefully sized up the Dharma images of the four Heavenly Gods.
"The four Dharma images correspond to four Sky Demon Orders. It should be correct, but how do we use them?" The group circled the Dharma images again and again in bafflement, but they could not find the correct spot to place Sky Demon Orders. They could not open the huge Recondite Steel Door in the front hall either.
These people were naturally Wind Assault Tower's elder, Wu Kuo, and a few elites from Wind Assault Tower!
The person in the lead was Phantasmal Shadow. She had a white veil over her face, and she held a soft, curled up metal whip. She stood at the foot of the altar with an incredibly calm expression. She held a dark red flint in her hand, and her gaze landed on the braziers at the top of the two dragon carved stone pillars. She did not say a single word.
"Boss, us uncouth fellows really can't find where the mechanism is."
"Sis, it's better if you personally help us search for it. You're the most meticulous …" The group wandered around the altar for a long time and tried all sorts of methods, but they could not find the correct way to activate Sky Demon Secret Cave. They instantly felt gloomy.
"There's a reason why Sky Demon Secret Cave was hidden for thirty years without anyone discovering it. If you can casually find the mechanism from these Dharma images and activate Sky Demon Secret Cave, I'm going to wonder whether the elites from the sects have something wrong with their brains."
"… Urk, are you saying that the mechanism isn't on these four Dharma images?" Wu Kuo could hear the underlying meaning behind Phantasmal Shadow's words, and he could not help but be stunned.
The others also felt that what Phantasmal Shadow said made sense.
"Could it be somewhere else?"
"That'll be difficult. This place is huge. How long will it take for us to search through it?" Wu Kuo's face fell in a troubled manner.
Phantom did not speak. Instead, she glanced at the two stone pillars with dragon carvings as if she was deep in thought. Her tone was calm as she said, "Don't worry, someone will come in soon to help us find the mechanism."
"Are you talking about Mu Clan?"
Wu Kuo's expression changed.
"If we let them in, what else can we get?"
"Exactly." Someone in the group quickly agreed. "The people from Snow Eagle Group and Towering Palace were all scared away by Mu Clan. It's clear that Mu Clan isn't any better. They definitely want to monopolize Sky Demon Secret Cave. If we don't activate Sky Demon Secret Cave first, are we supposed to wait for them to come and beg them to give us a share of the loot?"
"Beg?"
We're just working together. Wind Assault Tower might not be able to compare to the four top-class sects, but we still have some strength. We don't need to act according to other people's wishes. Besides, Mu Clan shouldn't be so domineering. "
"You've occupied the resources of the Western Regions and the Yangtze River Basin, and you've also obtained two major provinces in the Central Plains and part of the resources in the Jiangnan area. Isn't that domineering?"
Wu Kuo rolled his eyes.
Phantasmal Shadow's smile did not fade away. "But whenever they go to a place, they won't occupy all the resource points. They'll only take half of them. This alone is much better than Class One Hall and Towering Palace."
"The situation is different, right?"
Wu Kuo stared at his sister with a strange gaze. "It's impossible for them to completely control the resource points, but Sky Demon Secret Cave is a secret quest point. No one knows what sort of secrets are hidden in it. Will Mu Clan be willing to share it with us?"
When she heard this, a hint of relief appeared on Phantasmal Shadow's face.
"Big brother, you've finally learned to use your brain."
"Ahem, you should leave me some dignity in front of others. What do you mean by 'finally'? I'm pretty wise and mighty, alright?"
"Alright, wise and mighty brother, you've underestimated Happy's ambition and magnanimity. Even though he's not as domineering, fierce, and resolute as Dream Clouds, his gentle and tolerant methods have also created an even stronger Mu Clan. He cares a lot about protecting Mu Clan's reputation. Besides, based on how he treats different sects and how he tries his best to be tolerant of the large, medium, and small sects, but is not polite to Class One Hall, I can tell that his ambition is not lower than Dream Clouds'. It's just that he's easier for others to accept him compared to Dream Clouds.
"What do you mean?"
Wu Kuo scratched the back of his head with a puzzled look on his face.
Phantasmal Shadow touched her forehead in resignation and continued explaining.
"One of the reasons why Happy tries his best to be tolerant of the other sects is because he doesn't want to make too many enemies. The second reason is that these people aren't enough to pose a threat to him. Besides, working together to develop Secret Treasure Trove will not affect Mu Clan's strength at all. As for Class One Hall, it's because Happy can tell how threatening Dream Clouds is and how ambitious she is. That's why he won't give Dream Clouds and Class One Hall any space to grow stronger."
At that moment, the other four people who had not spoken looked at each other. A man with an axe could not help but ask, "But what does this have to do with our current situation?"
"Will Mu Clan be willing to give us the resources in Sky Demon Secret Cave? Don't forget, when we were in the royal mausoleum, Happy basically occupied all the resources alone. "
"But Happy won't take the initiative to kill." Phantasmal Shadow's analysis and understanding of Happy were very deep, and her expression was as calm as ever. "Even if they really want to monopolize the resources, they will tactfully mention it. They won't learn from Dream Clouds and act first before reporting."
Phantasmal Shadow looked like she was at ease.
At that moment, the sound of robes fluttering swiftly came from the entrance.
The six people's gazes became alert, and twelve pairs of eyes gathered in that direction at the same time.
Happy, Silver Wolf, Wind Chimes, Momo, All-powerful Medicinal Stone, and Little North charged into the empty front hall of Sky Demon Sect.
Two of them were in full sets of fourth-echelon Golden Armor Sets, one fourth-echelon Phantasm Armor Set, and one Colorful Phoenix Dress. This lineup caused the people from Wind Assault Tower to be unable to help but suck in sharp breaths, even though they were already mentally prepared for it.
"Yay, there's actually someone else here?!"
A clear voice traveled into the six people's ears.
Phantasmal Shadow's expression remained the same. She smiled and went to welcome Happy and the others. "I see, so it's the elites from Mu Clan. I'm Phantasmal Shadow from Wind Assault Tower. Greetings."
"Wind Assault Tower?"
"Phantasmal Shadow?"
Little North and the others exchanged a surprised glance. They did not expect that there would be a few elites in this place. Phantasmal Shadow was one of them, and Wu Kuo was another. It was said that the people from Wind Assault Tower were all good fighters, and their strength was not inferior to Towering Palace's Musical Note.
"Hehe …"
Happy's expression did not change. He laughed heartily and arrived in front of Phantasmal Shadow.
In his previous life, he had rarely met with one emperor, two empresses, and three kings. But in this life, he seemed to be able to run into these famous elites no matter where he went. He did not know whether it was because enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road, or whether it was to make up for the regrets he had in his previous life.
"Tower Master Phantasmal Shadow, we parted ways after we parted ways at Hero's Mountain Villa. How have you been?" His voice was calm, and he spoke calmly. He had the bearing and tone of someone who stood at the top of the game.
Phantasmal Shadow's expression changed slightly.
