When encountering a cultivator's cave whose details are unknown, it's best not to casually intrude.
Loose cultivators at the bottom are so poor that they risk their lives just to obtain some cultivation resources. Although Meng Zhang was only a Sect Master of a small sect and couldn't be considered powerful, he had accumulated some assets, so there was no need to take unnecessary risks.
Meng Zhang hesitated as he looked at the cultivator's cave in front of him.
At that moment, Deep EarthSpirit General suddenly turned around and looked towards the passage behind them.
Meng Zhang reacted quickly and remained on guard.
After a while, a group of people emerged from the passage.
As they appeared in this space, they noticed Meng Zhang and Deep EarthSpirit General.
Clearly, they didn't expect that someone else would arrive here before them.
One of them stepped forward from the group and cupped his fists towards Meng Zhang's group.
"I am Han Tu. I obtained a treasure map in the market, thinking that I had hit the jackpot. Unexpectedly, when Han Tu and my brothers worked hard to find this place, you, fellow Daoists, were ahead of us."
These people should be the loose cultivators who acquired the treasure map that Li Xuan had gathered information about. Unexpectedly, their actions were swift, and they found this place so quickly.
By mentioning the treasure map in the conversation, they were trying to establish a moral high ground, indicating that they had paid a price to come here.
Despite being caught off guard, Meng Zhang disdainfully snorted, "What a load of nonsense about being ahead of you. We just arrived here and haven't even seen a single hair."
"What's the matter? Do you think that with that so-called treasure map, everything here belongs to you?"
"Everything has an order. This lord arrived here first, so everything here should belong to this lord."
Hearing Meng Zhang's arrogant words, the group of people showed anger on their faces, and some even took out magic tools, preparing to fight.
Meng Zhang remained unmoved, showing no courtesy.
"A bunch of Refining Qi minor cultivators, thinking you can defy the heavens."
"What? You want to fight? This lord just happens to need some exercise."
Han Tu waved his hand and calmed down his somewhat excited companions. Facing Meng Zhang's arrogance, he still maintained a smile on his face.
"We've been talking for so long, and yet we don't know your honorable name..."
"This lord's surname is Zhao," Meng Zhang said in a manner that resembled a spoiled child.
"Surname Zhao," Han Tu's expression slightly changed as he thought of the nearby Zhao Family, a powerful sect not too far from here.
"Are you a disciple of Zhao Family?"
Meng Zhang merely nodded, appearing indifferent to answer.
Loose cultivators were inherently at a disadvantage when facing cultivators from prominent families. Especially the formidable Zhao Family, not far from this place.
Han Tu pondered for a moment before saying, "We haven't even entered the cave, so we don't know what's inside. It would be ridiculous to fight over it without any knowledge."
"Brother Zhao, how about we work together to break the defensive formation outside the cave first? Once inside, we can see what treasures are available."
"At that time, I believe we can negotiate a satisfactory distribution plan for everyone."
Han Tu's suggestion was exactly what Meng Zhang wanted.
Since this group of cultivators appeared, Meng Zhang had a plan in mind.
With ready-made cannon fodder, he could explore the cave more easily.
Meng Zhang put on a reluctant appearance and hesitated for a while before reluctantly agreeing to Han Tu's proposal.
Seeing that both sides had agreed to explore together, Deep EarthSpirit General, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke, "In front of the cave is an incomplete Disorderly Metal Sword Array."
"The complete Disorderly Metal Sword Array is a Second Rank Formation. It seems that the spirit vein's level here is insufficient to provide enough spiritual energy, so the formation is incomplete, revealing some flaws."
"Unexpectedly, this fellow here is actually skilled in formations," Han Tu marveled.
It was not difficult to have some understanding of formations on the surface, but to quickly analyze the formation in front of them indicated a considerable level of proficiency in the field of formations.
Deep EarthSpirit General continued to observe the formation.
Han Tu was not embarrassed by the situation but asked, "Since this fellow here is proficient in formations, we will rely on you to decipher this formation."
After a while, Deep EarthSpirit General slowly said, "It's not too difficult to break this formation."
"Due to the lack of spiritual energy supply, there are several flaws in the formation. With so many of us attacking from these specific points, we can break the formation sooner or later without expending much effort."
"Brother, your insight is commendable. Since you are so confident, we will follow your instructions and break the formation together."
Han Tu was delighted with Deep EarthSpirit General's analysis, fully believing in him.
Deep EarthSpirit General naturally cooperated with Meng Zhang's group. They selected a position and were ready to enter the formation at any time.
Seeing Deep EarthSpirit General's gaze, Han Tu understood his intentions. He divided the group of cultivators into several teams, preparing to enter the designated points separately.
Among them, some of the cultivators expressed doubts, showing their lack of trust in Deep EarthSpirit General.
However, after Han Tu persuaded them, he managed to convince everyone to cooperate.
