Chapter 18- Golden Dragon and Ice Phoenix

Inside Su Yan's wooden house, Su Mu and Su Yan were sitting cross-legged next to each other while discussing some random topics.

"How long do I need to live in your wooden house?" Su Mu asked, making Su Yan's beautiful face frown.

What did he mean by 'her' wooden house? Weren't they living in it together for more than a few months? This made Su Yan really annoyed. Where was his concern about living in someone else's place when he was spending hours at Hu Jiao'er's place?

Looking at Su Yan, Su Mu couldn't help but laugh out loud. "I'm just kidding. Why are you so serious?"

Just as his words finished, Su Mu brought his face so closer to Su Yan's that she was able to feel his breath.

"Uhhhh." Su Yan grumbled, her face blushing as she wanted nothing more than to freeze Su Mu into a popsicle once again, but she knew that he would melt the ice around himself right away. No matter how much she tries, keeping her calm and neutral temperament in front of Su Mu seemed impossible. One way or another, he'd somehow make Su Yan lose her composure. But strangely enough, Su Yan didn't mind it that much. Ever since she started living with Su Mu, her mood has been very good. Although there were some 'ideas' in her mind about Su Mu that she, as Su Mu's older sister, wasn't able to accept.

Just as Su Yan was about to open her mouth again, the ground suddenly began to quake fiercely. After shaking several times, Su Mu and Su Yan could hear the three Sects' Disciples within Black Wind Trade Area falling into chaos.

After that moment, it seemed that loud shouts could be heard from a distant place. Unfortunately, those voices were not clear.

But Su Mu could hear them quite clearly. It wasn't hard to figure out that the one shouting in anger was none other than Long Zai Tian while Meng Wuya was constantly cursing the former's eighteen generations.

The intense fight that was ongoing at the Blood Battle Group's mining area could be heard from dozens of kilometres away! Even from such a distance, Su Mu could feel the True Qi fluctuations from the members of the Blood Battle Group along with very slight Saint Qi fluctuations.

Both Su Mu and Su Yan stepped out of their wooden house. Just as they were about to leave, they heard several doors open all at once within the Black Wind Trade Area.

Su Mu recognized a few of the figures who just emerged. One of them was none other than Hu Jiao'er while the other was Fang Ziji, the first-seat disciple of Storm Hall.

Hu Jiao'er looked at Su Mu and waved her hand with a smile, making him smile back at her.

'Is this jealousy I smell?' Su Mu thought, feeling the temperature around him and Su Yan was dropping at a very high speed. So much so that people were stepping away from them.

"If you have something to say then why not say it?" Su Mu asked with a smile, turning towards Su Yan.

"I'll be going ahead." Su Yan replied before she started flying towards the Blood Battle Group's mining area.

"Even Jiao'er is more honest with her feeling than Su Yan is." Su Mu muttered, looking at the three people who were flying towards the mining area.

Su Yan was the fastest, next was Hu Jiao Er and finally, Fang Ziji.

After a few seconds, Su Mu activated the 'Seven Divine Steps' as he started running towards the Blood Battle Group's mining area while jumping over several rooftops.

[Back in the Blood Battle Group's Mining Area]

After Meng Wuya raised Long Jun and dashed here, he directly looked for Long Zai Tian. The latter, who had not fully understood the entire matter at hand was shocked when a killing strike was directed towards him. Meng Wuya's actions were unjustifiable, at least from Long Zai Tian's point of view.

Long Zai Tian had never met this old man but was attacked. Even if he wished not to fight, as the Vice Leader of the Blood Battle Group, he had no choice but to uphold the clan's reputation and fight. Only a coward would turn tail and flee.

However, it took less than ten moves before Long Zai Tian was knocked down from the air by Meng Wuya.

Unfortunately, Hu Man and his other clansmen could not allow their Vice Leader to die at the hands of Meng Wuya. They had no choice but to get involved in their fight.

Although Hu Man was glad to see Long Zai Tian suppressed, he could not simply allow the Vice Leader of the Blood Battle Group to get one-sidedly beaten up and killed. That man held the reputation of the Blood Battle Group. If he were to fall, he would drag down the Sect with him.

Ten Immortal Ascension Realm Experts charged at Meng Wuya. However, like an unbeatable god, he remained unscathed. He had shown that he had the strength to back up his arrogance.

However, the attacks he dealt with were not only physical; they were also verbal. Like a viper, he managed to provoke and shame Long Zai Tian.

Long Zai Tian's face turned purple from shame as he spat out a mouthful of blood. He couldn't do anything but curse Meng Wuya. With only twelve moves, the latter had managed to completely suppress him. His dignity and pride as the Vice Leader of Blood Battle Group were destroyed. How was he ever going to recover his reputation?

At this time, Meng Wuya retreated upwards. Meanwhile, the Blood Battle Group's experts were all standing on the ground. Both sides halted, waiting for the next confrontation.

Long Zai Tian clenched his jaws, while his mouth was full of fresh blood. His body trembled as he endured the humiliation, not daring to be so dissolute in front of such power. "May I ask your excellency, when have I offended you so much that you need to humiliate me like this?"

Even with Meng Wuya's experience, the first time he saw the Monster Beasts, he had thought that these were their souls. However, upon closer inspection, he frowned. He could not feel any soul from these two forms. They were both soulless.

These two huge beings were unexpectedly, purely made from the world's gathering of energy to form a dragon and phoenix-shaped seal.

"This place" The strange phenomenon made Meng Wuya vigilant, as he scanned the area to find a cave within the ground, about 70 meters deep. He could feel remnant traces of broken seals.

The seals must have been broken by the battle earlier. This caused the dragon and phoenix energy to escape from the cave.

It was unbelievable that such a discovery was made by accident! No, was it really an accident, to begin with?

'Why not destroy the Blood Battle Group's Mining Area?' Su Mu's words appeared in Meng Wuya's head as he raised the range of his Divine Sense.

'How is he?' Just as he raised the range of his Divine Sense, Meng Wuya realised that Su Mu was standing on the ground not too far away from the battlefield while looking at the two energy beings with a neutral expression.

As Meng Wuya further pondered, the two giant forms turned into one. The golden red and the ice blue blend mutually together, producing a beautiful sight. However, the form emitted a kind of unapproachable burning hot and cold energy attack; so strong that no one felt confident enough to resist.

'How nostalgic.' Su Mu thought, sighing.

"Retreat!" Hu Man shouted angrily, forcing his clansmen to fall back.

Even with his profound strength, Meng Wuya also fell back. He too had felt that he was unable to resist the energy attacks. While on his way, he picked Su Mu up as well, much to the latter's discomfort.

Suddenly, the dragon roared. The sound was so powerful that people could feel their ears splitting. Following the dragon, the phoenix made a resounding cry.

As they both continued to circle about in the sky, the more superstitious people considered this as a good omen.

After a long time, the dragon and phoenix both simultaneously flew back into the cave.

As the two forms reentered the cave, a loud bang could be heard. The earth started to tremble as a much larger burst of Yuan Qi fluctuation spread out from the cave. The energy this time was much more powerful than the time when the dragon and phoenix appeared. The whole mining area became bright, as though a ray of sunlight continued to engulf this area.

After a while, the ray of light dissipated gradually as the Yuan Qi fluctuations also calmed down. It was slowly returning to the previously tranquil environment.

Meng Wuya, who was floating in midair along with Su Mu, looked down upon the cave quietly. His eyes and cheeks shivered as he muttered, "Heaven's Cave Inheritance?"

His excitement overwhelmed him as he could not help but move forward while carrying Su Mu to check his suspicions.

Now, above the cave, there was a thin light barrier, about 33 meters from the surface, preventing anyone from looking inside the cave. Mysterious writings could be found on this light barrier. While Meng Wuya was busy with this, Su Mu was reading the mysterious writings on the light barrier.

'How could this be? This small place has a Heaven's Cave Inheritance?' Meng Wuya thought that he must be in a dream; after all, such matters were truly out of his expectations.

A Heaven's Cave Inheritance was formed from a profound cultivator at the time of his death. The place holds the opportunity to grasp all the valuable secrets and knowledge that the cultivator had experienced in his lifetime. Such an opportunity to study the cultivator's knowledge is indispensable. Moreover, the cave must have held some treasures that this cultivator had held onto at the time of his death. For example, Medicine Pills or Secret Treasures.

It can be said that Heaven's Cave Inheritance is simply buried treasure waiting to be taken. Whoever obtained the inheritance would one day have the opportunity to reach the same realm of cultivation as the cultivator who created this cave.

"Old Man, how long do you plan on keeping me here? Aren't you too excited for an opportunity that you have no right to participate in?" Su Mu said in a bored tone after he was done reading the writings on the light barrier.

Hearing his words, Meng Wuya remembered that Su Mu was still tagging along with him as they both landed on the ground.

"Do you have anything to say about this Inheritance Cave?" Meng Wuya asked, narrowing his eyes at Su Mu.

Su Mu just tilted his head with an innocent expression. "Senior Meng, what's an inheritance cave?"

At his words, Meng Wuya wasn't sure if he wanted to cough up a mouthful of blood or slap Su Mu to death. Was this little brat trying to make all this pass as a coincidence?

While this was going on, the cultivators from the Blood Battle Group tried to enter the Inheritance Cave, only to be repelled outside again and again.

Hu Man knitted his brows as he tried to think. Suddenly, he could hear multiple flap-flap sounds of clothing from afar.

The Blood Battle Group's complexions turned bitter and astringent while some of them muttered, "That was too fast"

In a short while, five Elders from High Heaven Pavilion appeared under the leadership of Wei Xitong above the mining area. After a while, the Storm House's Immortal Ascension Realm experts also arrived under the leadership of House Master Xiao Ruohan.
