Chapter 231: Deepening Misunderstanding, Robbing While the House is on Fire

Ying Wu Dao truly could not explain himself clearly.

The location of this teleportation array was extremely hidden; logically, it shouldn't have been discovered by such a coincidence. Moreover, the petal happened to be right on the teleportation array, making it look as if he had left it there intentionally no matter how one viewed it.

“This old man can't be bothered to waste words with you!”

Ying Wu Dao gave a cold snort and stepped directly onto the teleportation array.

“You want to leave?”

Jiang Tianheng was furious and was about to move to stop him.

But the teleportation array had already activated; with a flash of light, Ying Wu Dao vanished from the spot.

“Damn it!”

Jiang Tianheng gnashed his teeth and jumped onto the teleportation array without hesitation.

“Old Ancestor, wait for me!”

The Jiang Family Disciple disguised by Zhou Chen also followed.

The light flickered again, and the two vanished from the cave.

…

The other end of the teleportation array was a massive cavern.

Deep within the cavern, a huge ape lay on the ground. Its entire body was crimson, and its eyes were like copper bells; it was precisely a First Layer of Emperor Realm Yao Beast—the Crimson Ghost Ape.

Beside the Ghost Ape sat a jar of spiritual wine emitting a dense alcoholic fragrance.

As soon as Ying Wu Dao was teleported over, he saw this scene.

“An Emperor Realm Yao Beast?!”

His expression changed drastically.

If they were outside Burial God Ridge, no matter how strong an Emperor Realm Yao Beast was, Ying Wu Dao would have ways to deal with it. But inside Burial God Ridge, he couldn't even exert ten percent of his strength.

The Ghost Ape also discovered the intruder; it let out a long roar toward the sky as Demonic Qi erupted around its body.

“Roar!”

The Ghost Ape threw a punch, making the space itself tremble.

Ying Wu Dao did not dare to be careless and immediately struck back to meet the attack.

Just then, the teleportation array flickered again, and Jiang Tianheng and Zhou Chen were teleported over.

“Ying Wu Dao!”

As soon as Jiang Tianheng appeared, he saw Ying Wu Dao fighting the Ghost Ape. And beside the Ghost Ape, that jar of spiritual wine was emitting an alluring fragrance.

“Imperial Rank Spiritual Wine?!”

Jiang Tianheng understood everything in an instant.

No wonder Ying Wu Dao wanted to come to this teleportation array; it turned out that Imperial Rank Spiritual Wine was hidden here!

“Ying Wu Dao, what a fine calculation you have!”

Jiang Tianheng laughed from extreme anger: “You stole this old man's nine nether soul nourishing lotus, and now you want to swallow the Imperial Rank Spiritual Wine all for yourself. Do you really think this old man is a fool?!”

“Jiang Tianheng, you madman!”

While dealing with the Ghost Ape, Ying Wu Dao roared: “This old man had no idea what was here! You were the one who insisted on following me!”

“You still dare to quibble!”

Jiang Tianheng didn't waste any more words and directly attacked Ying Wu Dao.

Flames and Saber Qi intertwined in the cavern, and combined with the Ghost Ape's attacks, the entire space was vibrating.

Zhou Chen quietly circulated the Divine Concealment Art, slowly fading from their sight, watching the two of them fight like dogs with great interest.

He quietly arrived at the entrance of the Ghost Ape's nest. Deep within the cavern, that jar of Imperial Rank Spiritual Wine was shaken by the invisible aftershocks of the chaotic battle, causing a few drops of wine to spill out.

Though it was only a few drops, the dense alcoholic fragrance permeated the air, causing both men's eyes to turn completely red.

After all, this was Imperial Rank Monkey Wine, something that could be sought but not easily found!

How could it not make people envious?

The Ghost Ape's eyes became even more frenzied, vowing to beat Ying Wu Dao to death.

In the cavern, the battle reached a fever pitch.

The clash between Ying Wu Dao and the Ghost Ape had already turned the world upside down.

Although the Ghost Ape was a First Layer of Emperor Realm Yao Beast, its strength was greatly discounted under the suppression of Burial God Ridge's rules. Even so, it remained incomparably fierce, every punch and kick carrying the power to tear through space.

“Ying Wu Dao, hand over the nine nether soul nourishing lotus!”

Jiang Tianheng roared while attacking Ying Wu Dao. Flames transformed into a vast sea of fire, lighting up half the cavern in crimson.

“You madman, can you not understand human speech?!”

Ying Wu Dao was so angry he was spitting blood; he had to dodge the Ghost Ape's attacks while simultaneously guarding against Jiang Tianheng.

“This old man said I didn't take your damn lotus! Are you deaf?!”

“Still quibbling!”

Jiang Tianheng didn't listen at all, his offensive becoming even more ferocious.

Zhou Chen circulated the Divine Concealment Art to its limit, causing his entire presence to vanish completely.

He seized the moment of the Ghost Ape's rampage and stealthily crept toward the interior of the Ghost Ape's nest.

The nest wasn't deep, but it was very spacious; Zhou Chen appeared quite inconspicuous in this massive cave.

In the center of the nest, a jar of Low Grade Imperial Rank Monkey Wine sat quietly in the middle of a spiritual spring.

The wine jar was made of pottery, pitch black all over, and carved with ancient mysterious runes.

A continuous flow of spiritual energy from the spring was being absorbed by the wine jar.

The wine fragrance was so dense it was intoxicating; even from a distance, Zhou Chen could feel the Spiritual Qi within his body leaping with joy.

In the cavern, the battle had reached a fever pitch.

Ying Wu Dao and the Ghost Ape clashed, making the entire space tremble. Although the Ghost Ape was a First Layer of Emperor Realm Yao Beast, under the suppression of Burial God Ridge's rules, it could only exert thirty percent of its strength.

Even so, it remained incredibly fierce, each punch carrying the power to split mountains and shatter rocks.

“Good stuff.”

Excitement flashed in Zhou Chen's eyes, but his steps became even more cautious. He first observed the surroundings to confirm there were no traps or mechanisms before carefully approaching.

Just then, the aftershocks from Jiang Tianheng and Ying Wu Dao's attacks swept past, causing the wine jar to shake slightly.

A few more drops of wine spilled.

Instantly, the wine fragrance in the cavern intensified by more than tenfold!

“Roar, roar, roar!”

The Ghost Ape was completely enraged; it roared to the heavens, its eyes turning blood-red instantly as its aura surged to the limit.

“Roar—!”

The Ghost Ape threw a punch at Ying Wu Dao with total abandon, its offensive three times more ferocious than before.

Ying Wu Dao was beaten into a steady retreat, cursing in his heart.

Why did this beast suddenly go crazy?

But in the next second, he saw the Ghost Ape turn and throw another punch toward Jiang Tianheng.

Jiang Tianheng had originally been watching the show from the side, and his previous strikes against Ying Wu Dao were merely to vent his anger. He didn't expect to be suddenly attacked by the Crimson Ghost Ape and was momentarily stunned.

“Beast! You're looking for death!”

He had to take action to defend himself; even a casual strike from an Imperial Rank Yao Beast was terrifying. Flames transformed into a shield to block the Ghost Ape's attack.

“Jiang Tianheng, you still have the face to speak!”

Ying Wu Dao roared: “It's one thing if you don't help me, but you even kicked me while I was down, causing this old man to be beaten so miserably!”

“This old man is happy to do so!”

Jiang Tianheng sneered: “You stole my nine nether soul nourishing lotus and you still want me to help you? Dream on!”

“You—”

Ying Wu Dao was so angry he spat blood.

But the Ghost Ape's attacks were getting fiercer, so he had to grit his teeth and speak: “Jiang Tianheng! Let's join forces to kill this beast! I'll give you half the Monkey Wine!”

“Half?”

Jiang Tianheng narrowed his eyes but did not agree easily. He said indifferently: “Do you take this old man for a fool? The matter of the nine nether soul nourishing lotus hasn't been settled yet, and now you want to brush me off with half the Monkey Wine?”

“Then what do you want?!”

Ying Wu Dao was struck by another punch from the Ghost Ape and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

“It's simple.”

Jiang Tianheng was determined to rob him while the house was on fire, saying without concealment: “That petal of the nine nether soul nourishing lotus from earlier, you must give it to me.”

“You're dreaming!”

“Then there's nothing to talk about.”

Jiang Tianheng turned to leave. In any case, the Ghost Ape wasn't mainly attacking him, so he could retreat at any time.

Seeing this, the Ghost Ape thought Jiang Tianheng was going to steal the Monkey Wine, and its attacks became even more insane. Ying Wu Dao was once again heavily suppressed.

At this moment, Ying Wu Dao had been beaten bloody by the demonic ape, his heart filled with gnashing hatred.

“Fine, fine, fine! You old fogey, this old man agrees!”
