Chapter 285 Sneaking Into The Secret Chamber


    "Why?" Ricky could not help but ask with a pensive face. He had rarely engaged in discussions about


    the whereabouts of the Arhat Pce''s resources. Bastian''s mysterious statement concerning the sister


    and brother, as well as the secret chamber of the Arhat''s Pce, aroused his curiosity. ''Why would the


    sister and brother stay in an unearthly chamber for months on end?'' Ricky thought to himself. The


    question was strange enough to pique everyone''s interest.


    "I''m one hundred percent sure that the sister and brother are practicing some kind of cultivation method


    that requires them to stay in the darkness. It must be that they are not allowed to be exposed to light


    before they are able toplete the method! So, my opinion is that they are still inside the secret


    chamber now. There''s no way what happened outside the chamber could have reached them yet.


    Everybody from the Arhat Pce is dead, after all. I don''t think the other forces would be so kind-


    hearted as to inform them of the unfortunate news about their pce." Bastian went on and on with an


    excited smile on his face the whole time.


    "I was able to recover the detailed location of the secret chamber from Nathan. It is the same as the


    secret room where the storage ring is ced. Nathan also told me that for the past several years,


    people rarely saw them. Only Nathan and Stan had seen them a few times in years."


    "What on earth are they doing? It''s just so mysterious! I''m starting to grow interested in their cultivation


    method! Do you have more information about the method they use?" Tyson asked, eyes opening wide


    out of curiosity.


    "Unfortunately, I don''t know anything else. Nathan said that he had no idea what kind of method they


    were using either. ording to him, Stan probably knew it. He''s dead, so the sister and brother


    themselves are the only ones left that are sure to know it. They are the practitioners, after all," Bastian


    replied in a frustrated tone before he shrugged his shoulders. He regretted not being able to provide


    the critical missing information.


    "So, do you have any idea how strong the sister and brother are?" Ricky asked again, intending to get


    as much as information about the sister and brother as he could. Ricky and his men destroyed the


    sister and brother''s family, so they would definitely take revenge on Ricky and his organization once


    they learned the tragic story of what happened to the Arhat Pce. Ricky was well aware of that; that


    was why he wanted to hear more about them.


    "They should be at about the sixth grade of Bone Reinforcement by now. They won''t make great


    progress unless they seed in their mysterious cultivation method. From what I know, they are still in


    progress with their cultivation," Bastian exined.


    "I think I know what you are thinking! You all want to sneak into that secret chamber, am I right? What''s


    so troublesome about doing it that way is that we can''t enter that room!" Bastian continued and shook


    his head. His eyes were full of despair at the roadblock that was before them.


    "Why can''t we get into the room?" Ricky asked.


    "ording to Nathan, there are only two ways to open the chamber''s door. One is for the sister and


    brother to trigger the switch from inside the room to open the door. Another is to use the power


    belonging to an innate spirit to smash apart and shatter the door from the outside!


    Think about it! We can''t do that! We can''t make the sister and brother open the door. We are their


    enemies and they would never listen to us if we asked! None of us is an innate spirit! We do have the


    power of the so-called innate spiritual ball, but we all know that innate power condensed in the ball is


    nothingpared to that of a real innate spirit standing in front of us. We can''t use that either," Bastian


    said as his face grew more frustrated thanks to the depressing fact that neither way would work.


    "Yeah! You''re right! This is indeed a difficult problem! I''m afraid the only way to solve this problem is to


    say something that will trick the sister and brother into opening the door," Ricky reasoned in a m


    tone after he thought about it for a moment.


    "Trick them? How!?" Kristen asked, surprised that Ricky had even suggested it.


    "Don''t worry! Let me deal with the n! I''ll sneak into the Arhat Pce with Soar tonight to give it a try!


    Just wait for my update about the situation!" Ricky asserted with a determined look.


    "Well, okay then! I think it''s the best option we have for the time being. If all of us went there, we would


    be too eye-catching and the remaining seven forces would definitely notice us! The sister and brother


    might sense that something is wrong too! Russell, just make sure you''re careful and don''t get hurt!"


    Kristen praised Ricky''s idea.


    "Yes, I will! So, I''ll be going soon since it''s alreadyte now. You guys have a good rest and I will bring


    you back good newster. The Manor Gang will soon bepletely known as the Manor Pce!


    We''re going to be one of the top forces in the Chaotic Region soon!" Ricky eximed with a cocksure


    grin. His eyes were gleaming with confidence.


    Then, he stood up and made a slight bow to everyone as a formal big goodbye. All the other people at


    the table stood from their chairs and bowed back to him. They trusted that Ricky wouldplete the


    mission, especially while he was carrying Soar with him.


    Things went exactly as Ricky had anticipated. The chiefs of the remaining seven forces had cast doubt


    on what happened in the Chaotic Mountains and they suspected Ricky and Soar were responsible for


    it.


    After the chiefs left the Lower Region and returned to their own region, they had a meeting.


    In a secret chamber, the seven chiefs sat face to face. They were all wearing heavy and serious


    expressions as they looked at each other.


    "So, everyone. I''m sure all of you know why we are here. We can just stop with the pleasantries to save


    time and get straight to the point! Feel free to share all the opinions you may have on the situation!" A


    muscr man started the meeting with a brief and clear speech.


    "Humph! That bastard! He is just a baby at the third grade of Bone Reinforcement! He is just lucky he is


    favored by a powerful beast of demi-immortal level! From my point of view, it was no other than him


    and that beast killed our agents and took the key from the Chaotic Mountains! I can''t think of any other


    suspect as likely as him!" An old man in ck clothes cursed resentfully before he pounded his fists on


    the table in a fit of anger.


    He wished that his proposal for the seven forces work together and kill Ricky was agreed on by


    everyone. He even had the urge to bring that proposal to the table! But he knew that it was not going to


    work because they once failed to work together to deal with Ricky in the past.


    Without thinking too much about it, he med Ricky for what happened in the Chaotic Mountains.


    "I kind of have a different opinion. We can''t know for sure whether he and his beast were the ones who


    did it or not yet. All of us can recognize the smell of that red snake though, so I suggest we go to the


    Chaotic Mountains and check whether the creature was once really there or not. We should be able to


    figure out the truth in no time!" A beautiful woman wearing a glittering dress expressed her opinion


    next.


    "If it''s true, we will go and hunt after him as a group!"


    "I agree with you, so let''s go to the Chaotic Mountains soon!" The other chiefs nodded in agreement.


    The next moment, all seven of the demi-immortals left their seats at once and left the room. Before too


    long, they had already left the Upper Region and headed for their destination -- the Chaotic Mountains.


    They were going to where the eight warriors at the ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement had died


    miserably.


    ...


    "Brother, I can feel that they''ve already left, and are still quite far away from the Chaotic Region now!"


    Soar whispered to Ricky while they were still inside the Manor Gang''s castle.


    "They must be heading to the mountains to check whether I have taken the Bronze Key from their men.


    Unfortunately, I never showed up there physically. Technically, Thomas was the one who killed those


    men. I just kill him and took the Bronze Key away. Our scents are also totally different from the scent of


    a killer from the Endless Shadow!" Ricky burst intoughter. He could not help butugh at their


    stupidity.


    "Soar, it''s time for us to move! Let''s start our adventure and explore what''s inside the supposedly


    secret chamber of the Arhat Pce! I''m curious about whether the chamber is able to stop my Chaotic


    Fire Zone! I also want to find out about the mysterious cultivation method the sister and brother are


    practicing. I wonder what it could be! I can''t help but want to find the answer out!"


    "I''m always ready!" Soar replied, voice growing excited.


    Immediately, without anyone noticing, they entered the Chaotic Fire Zone and moved to the Upper


    Region. The Arhat Pce was located there like all the other major powers.


    Along the way, a cold wind blew out of nowhere. It made the trees rustle like there were creatures


    moving within them. Ricky and Soar marched forward at their full speed. Before long, they had already


    arrived at their destination.


    The Arhat Pce upied one eighth of the Upper Region, which was an extremely vast area in the


    Chaotic Region. The castle alone was as big as a small city.


    Before the Arhat Pce met its miserable ending by being destroyed by Ricky and the Manor Gang,


    many people had called the pce their home and many warriors would pay a visit to this ce.


    They had all already left since the Arhat pce family was mostly dead. Its territory was left in


    depression. Few people visited there with the intention to stay. Only some people came there to loot,


    expecting to find something useful in the abandoned area.


    The robbers were mainly from the remaining seven forces.


    Ricky did not want to spend his time there, so he just ignored the robbers and activated his Chaotic


    Fire Zone to move forward. Finally, he arrived at a rtively remote forest inside the castle walls of the


    Arhat Pce.


    Some giant, t, and smooth stones were scattered on the forest floor. In the middle of the forest, there


    was a small rocky peak.


    That was Ricky''s exact destination!


    Ricky did note out from the Chaotic Fire Zone until he entered the space beneath the peak. Then,


    he continued moving quickly in the channels and passages below the ground. About thirty minutes


    "So, this is the ce that I''ve been searching for," Ricky muttered calmly in a low voice. He walked


    closer to the palm symbol and observed it carefully for a few moments.


    Then, he put his palm against it and exerted his internal strength. Consequently, a bang sounded and


    then two stones in front of his feet began to move apart. In a few seconds, an entrance appeared.


    Ricky took a look inside. It waspletely dark without any sound or light. It seemed to be a


    dangerous ce which could drain away any life in it.


    At the same time there was a dank and rotten smelling from inside the opening. It made Ricky feel


    like vomiting when he smelled it.


    He could not help but fan the air with his hand to try and disperse the awful smell. "Seriously? You must


    be kidding me, Bastian! How can this be the secret chamber where the storage ring of the Arhat Pce


    is ced? There''s no way! This is so disgusting!" Ricky blurted out to himself. This smell was too much


    for a normal human being to stand. How could the Arhat Pce store their precious storage ring in


    such a sickening hole?


    Now that he had already gone that far, there was no turning back. It would be a waste of time and


    energy if he gave up just because of a terrible smell and disturbing aura.


    Taking a deep breath outside the entrance, Ricky hurried into the Chaotic Fire Zone and walked into


    the room. The adventure was getting interesting!


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Fifteen minutes after Ricky had walked inside, the ck entrance closed behind him automatically.


    Staying inside the Chaotic Fire Zone, he was unable to see anything at all. All the lights were isted


    outside the entrance that had closed on its own.


    "Jesus Christ! This is really unbearable! There''s no fresh air and no lights! There''s nothing here but


    darkness!" Ricky sighed as he continued to walk inside. About one hourter, he had advanced about


    five hundred yards and had reached the deepest part of the passage.


    At the end of the passage, Ricky came upon a rtively vast area about the size of a courtyard.


    The moment they reached it, both Ricky and Soar smelled stronger foul odor. It was much worse than


    what they had smelled at the entrance.


    Taking a nce around the vast chamber, Ricky saw rotten bodies and dried bones covering the


    ground. It was not difficult to recognize that they were the bodies of human beings. That exined why


    the air was so disgusting and stifling inside the passage.


    Ricky and Soar exchanged a look with each other and nodded. Both of them saw that there was one


    thing inmon among the corpses.
