"Cat Brother, that’s not what I meant!"

Upon hearing the Big Black Cat’s words, the Sky-boring Rat grew anxious and hurriedly sent a telepathic message, explaining, "I have a feeling... that this dog is up to something big in the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect!"

"I have the same feeling," Big Black Cat frowned in response.

Big Black Dog, a loner, spent his years in no definite place, scavenging resources everywhere, and often grave-robbing. Over these years, he had accumulated quite some wealth.

Even though he was alone, he was not lacking cultivation resources and had managed to advance to the Second Level of Life and Death.

Compared to the Sky-boring Rat, who had the backing of his family, Big Black Dog’s cultivation progress hadn’t been lacking.

Big Black Cat looked at Big Black Dog, his thoughts racing.

An hour later, Big Black Dog opened his eyes and abruptly stood up.

He was now glowing, radiant, and all his injuries were gone.

"Cat Brother, the grade of your Dragon Spirit Pill is too high. It must be close to Emperor Level, right?" Rubbing his hands, Big Black Dog grinned in surprise.

"Almost there..." Big Black Cat nodded nonchalantly.

"Cat Brother, Rat Brother, both of you have reached the Fourth Level of Life-and-Death Realm. You’re considered top experts in the Plough Heaven Dynasty now..." Big Black Dog chuckled awkwardly.

"If you have something to say, just say it. No need to beat around the bush. Did you think you could keep your little scheme from me?" Big Black Cat scoffed cynically.

"Cat Brother, you’re so straightforward, haha, I like your style!" Big Black Dog darted over like a monkey, came near, and said mysteriously, "Cat Brother, I have a big deal to propose. How about the three of us do it together?"

"A big deal?" Big Black Cat widened his eyes, looked at Big Black Dog, and asked coldly, "How big is this deal?"

Big Black Dog looked around warily, then set up a small Formation, and said mysteriously, "I found an ancient underground palace beneath Ten Thousand Beast Mountain. It looks extremely old. Once we excavate it, we’ll find countless resources. We’ll all be rich!"

"Countless resources?" Big Black Cat sneered and broke into a loud laugh.

"Cat Brother!" Big Black Dog, not noticing the subtle change in Big Black Cat’s demeanor, rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "You should trust my judgment! All these years I’ve been grave robbing, I’ve hardly ever failed, have I? Cat Brother, there are extraordinary resources in that underground palace. The Super Divine Dragon Breath they emit is different. It must be incredibly amazing! If we join forces, we’re sure to gain unimaginable rewards!"

"You make some sense..." Big Black Cat smiled slightly and turned to the Sky-boring Rat. "What do you think of the resources in the underground palace?"

The Sky-boring Rat understood the underlying meaning and chuckled, "So-so, not too attractive!"

HISS!

Big Black Dog drew a sharp breath, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets, staring at his former brothers-in-arms in shock.

"Brothers, please, don’t tease me like this. Little brother here was seriously injured trying to excavate that underground palace and nearly died. If it weren’t for Cat Brother’s help, who knows how long it would have taken me to recover..." Big Black Dog respectfully cupped his fists and said earnestly.

"Good grief, I knew it! Your injuries must have been from trying to open that underground palace..." Big Black Cat laughed.

"Cat Brother, your perception is truly sharp, hitting the nail on the head! Indeed, the underground palace had a Seal. I broke just a little bit of the Seal and got blasted by the backlash..." Big Black Dog forced a smile.

"After the Seal on this underground palace was broken, what exactly happened that made all the demon beasts of the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect run away?" Big Black Cat’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"Cat Brother, a terrifying Super Divine Dragon Breath leaked from the underground palace at that time. All the demon beasts were scared out of their minds. They thought some terrible creature had appeared, so they fled, eventually breaking the great formation and escaping in all directions..." Big Black Dog explained.

"A terrifying creature? Could it be an Eternal Realm expert?" Big Black Cat asked disinterestedly.

"It’s just speculation that there’s a creature; who knows what’s actually inside the underground palace? However, for some time now, no monster from the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect has appeared. I guess there might be a peerless weapon inside that emitted this terrifying Super Divine Dragon Breath..." Big Black Dog said, choosing his words carefully.

"A peerless weapon?" Big Black Cat muttered these words, then burst into laughter again.

"Cat Brother, I alone am not strong enough. But if I had both of you, the three of us, Life-Death Realm Powerhouses, could sneak in while the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect is vulnerable. We could definitely uncover the underground palace and get unimaginable resources..." Big Black Dog became enthusiastic again, resuming his attempts to entice them.

"No matter how extravagantly you describe it, I’m not moved in the slightest..." Big Black Cat sighed.

"Cat Brother, you’ve changed!" Big Black Dog looked dejected and said mournfully, "Have you become a monk? How come you’ve lost all interest in the world’s riches?"

"Oh, Dog! You’re just a frog in a well. Wait till you reach my level, then you’ll understand..." Big Black Cat sighed, lifted his chin slightly, revealing a lofty expression.

"Cat Brother, I am at the Second Level of Life and Death while you are at the Fourth Level of Life-and-Death Realm. There are only two minor levels between us. Have you already transcended the mortal world?" Big Black Dog’s eyes bulged; he found it incredible that someone could be uninterested in cultivation resources.

"Haha, something like that!" Big Black Cat stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes shimmering, speaking in a very self-satisfied tone.

A wisp of Ye Yun’s Divine Sense, hidden within Su Wanyi’s mind, chuckled in exasperation and muttered. Big Black Cat was just that kind of cat. He liked to act smart when he got the advantage. However, he was loyal and always completed his tasks without cutting corners, often taking the lead. Ye Yun rather appreciated that about him.

A gleam flashed in Ye Yun’s eyes as he murmured to himself.

He had always felt that the demon beasts’ riot was not a coincidence. Now, having listened to Big Black Dog’s words, Ye Yun became interested.

"Brothers, considering our long-standing friendship, why don’t you help me this once?" Big Black Dog stubbornly pleaded.

"Well..." Big Black Cat hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "I’ll need to ask Miss Su."

Su Wanyi came over, smiled, and said, "We were going to the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect anyway, so we might as well have a look..."
