It seemed that these two Divine Sea Realm Martial Artists were sent by the Chu and Cheng families to deal with Chu Fengmian.
Chu Fengmian thought to himself.
Sending two Divine Sea Realm Martial Artists to deal with Chu Fengmian, both the Chu and Cheng families clearly held Chu Fengmian in high regard.
However, now upon inspection, it seemed that the attention of the two was already focused on the cave.
A few people appeared to be conversing.
"Uncle Mo, what is the strength of the demonic beast in this cave?"
Cheng Kong stood in front of the cave, looking into its depths, and spoke.
"Young Master Cheng, inside this cave, there must be a terrifying demonic beast, I’m afraid its strength might reach the Wind Command Realm. With our current strength, we simply cannot handle it."
One of the middle-aged men, named Uncle Mo, gave the cave a glance and said in a deep voice.
"Is the Plentiful Inscription Stele definitely inside this cave?"
Cheng Kong spurred another middle-aged man with a question.
"Indeed, this news was told by an ancestor of my Cheng family; it cannot be false, especially since the elder from the Chu family should also be aware of this matter."
"Senior Chu Baiye should know as well."
"Indeed, our Chu family has also received this news."
Chu Baiye nodded and said.
"This Plentiful Inscription Stele is of significant importance. Our joint Chu and Cheng family venture this time is precisely in hopes of seizing the opportunity to obtain the Plentiful Inscription Stele first."
"As for dealing with that youngster Chu Fengmian, it won’t be late to deal with him after we have secured the Plentiful Inscription Stele."
Chu Baiye’s eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent when he mentioned Chu Fengmian’s name.
Chu Fengmian had previously defeated Chu Beige in the Ark Assessment, causing Chu Beige to lose even the qualification to enter the Martial Victory College this time.
The Chu family had already developed a deep hatred for Chu Fengmian.
He had come to this deserted island with the original intention of dealing with Chu Fengmian but had not expected that a change would occur on the island, involving the Plentiful Inscription Stele.
This led to their opportunity being completely put aside for the time being.
"The Plentiful Inscription Stele? It is actually this Spiritual Artifact?"
When he heard the name Plentiful Inscription Stele, Chu Fengmian suddenly remembered some past memories.
The country of Martial Victory was, in fact, a newly established nation, founded only a thousand years ago.
The founding monarch who established the Martial Victory Kingdom, known as the Emperor of Fertility, was a figure of great renown. At that time, it was incredibly formidable to carve out a nation with his own power.
It was said that even the strength of the Emperor of Fertility went beyond the Wind Command Realm and reached the realm of Divine Power.
The Plentiful Inscription Stele was a top-tier Earth-grade Spiritual Artifact personally crafted by the Emperor of Fertility, second only to a true Sky-grade Spiritual Artifact.
In the country of Martial Victory, it would be impossible to find any other Spiritual Artifact that could compare with the Plentiful Inscription Stele.
It’s no wonder that the people from the Cheng and Chu families did not come looking for trouble with Chu Fengmian.
Compared with the Plentiful Inscription Stele, dealing with Chu Fengmian was naturally not much of an issue.
"I did not expect to actually encounter the Plentiful Inscription Stele."
A look of anticipation flashed in Chu Fengmian’s eyes.
That Plentiful Inscription Stele, in countless nations, would be considered a high-grade Spiritual Artifact. Even some of the elders in the Seven Great Sects might not possess a Spiritual Artifact of the same caliber as the Plentiful Inscription Stele.
Chu Fengmian had no suitable Spiritual Artifact at hand, and if he could obtain the Emperor of Fertility Stele, he was confident that he would be able to battle against sixth and even seventh layer Martial Artists of the God Sea realm.
"Chu family, Cheng family, you want to get your hands on this Emperor of Fertility Stele, don’t you?"
Chu Fengmian’s lips curved into a cold smile as he spoke.
Today, Chu Fengmian was determined to snatch the Emperor of Fertility Stele, and to make both families understand that to confront Chu Fengmian, there would be a price to pay.
While plotting in his heart, Chu Fengmian was still listening to the conversation between the three individuals.
Now, Chu Fengmian was a full hundred meters away from the trio, a distance that would be impossible for an average Martial Artist to hear anything.
But Chu Fengmian’s five senses had become extremely acute, so even at a hundred meters, he could hear them very clearly.
They could never have imagined that their conversation would be overheard by Chu Fengmian.
"That Chu Fengmian kid, we’ll have to eliminate him sooner or later, but compared to him, the Emperor of Fertility Stele is even more important."
Uncle Mo nodded in agreement.
"If we can get this Emperor of Fertility Stele, both our Cheng family and the Chu family’s power will expand. With the power of our two ancestors, plus the Emperor of Fertility Stele, it would be enough to contend with several Supreme Elders of the Wusheng Academy."
"Perhaps, it might even be possible for our Cheng and Chu families to replace the current royal family of the Wusheng realm."
"What, really possible?"
Cheng Kong was extremely surprised by Uncle Mo’s words.
The royal family of the Wusheng realm was a massive power in itself. Although Wusheng Academy claimed to be detached from the realm, the royal family still had influence over it.
To replace them was not so simple.
"Why not? With this Emperor of Fertility Stele, how could the royal family compete with our Cheng family and Chu family?"
"The current royal family is no longer what it used to be, in such decline. Our Chu family has long harbored thoughts of replacing it."
"Now, if we joined forces with your Cheng family and acquired this Emperor of Fertility Stele, replacing the royal family would be a breeze."
"Brother Chu, let’s save the talk. We should focus on getting our hands on the Emperor of Fertility Stele first."
Uncle Mo interrupted.
"The mythical beast in this cave is not so easy to deal with. I’ve just entered and found that its mere aura is something neither you nor I can contend with."
"If the Emperor of Fertility Stele is inside this cave and the beast doesn’t leave, none of us will be able to get it."
"Hmph, we indeed can’t defeat this mythical beast with our strength, but there are ways to lure it away from the cave."
There was a chilling coldness on Chu Baiye’s face.
"As long as we present bait, draw it out of the cave, it would just take one minute for the two of us to enter the cave and retrieve the Emperor of Fertility Stele; it wouldn’t be hard."
"However, such bait won’t be easy to find."
The bait to lure away the mythical beast was clear without saying.
Only the flesh and blood of Martial Artists could tempt the beast to leave.
But whoever would lure out the beast would surely die, and who would willingly sacrifice themselves?
"This plan is good. We don’t need to kill the beast, just to get the Emperor of Fertility Stele. Just luring out the beast will do."
A cold, sly smile spread across Cheng Kong’s eyes.
