Chapter 268: Trapped in the Formation
A day had passed and there was still no word from Heavenly Saint Daoist, which left Logan and the others anxious. Lowen Shingo kept pacing back and forth, believing that something unexpected must have happened.
Despite his doubts, Logan reassured: “No, the Heavenly Saint Daoist has been scheming for years, he wouldn’t fall into mistakes. He might still be dealing with the Beast King at this moment, and it should not be this quiet even if the plan was exposed. After all, this is already under heavy layers of protection.”
“We can’t be sure, what if the Heavenly Saint Daoist turns against us at the last moment and chooses to cooperate with the Beast King?” With this thought, Lowen shook his head, this possibility was almost slim to none. The Heavenly Saint Daoist went there for the Demon Beast Treasure, there was no benefit in him cooperating with the Beast King.
Lowen Shingo laughed bitterly and lamented that he couldn’t stay still. He had always been alert from his experiences of being hunted since he was a child, and he never trusted anyone fully. He didn’t have any friends either.
Logan calmly told Lowen Shingo, “Stay cool, we must not panic at this time. Even if the Heavenly Saint Daoist fails, the two of us will have to serve as baits ourselves. As long as the array is there, the Beast King will be able to come over. This is just a minor issue.”
Just then, an overwhelming aura descended. The Heavenly Saint Daoist had arrived at the array first, followed closely by the Beast King. The Beast King hadn’t sensed any danger and had entered the array as well. At this moment, the Heavenly Saint Daoist showed an interesting smile, the Beast King was ultimately as na?ve as a child.
Then, the Heavenly Saint Daoist roared, “What are you waiting for? Activate the Killing Array targeting the Beast King immediately. I’ve exhausted all my energy just to lure the Beast King here, and we absolutely cannot let him escape this time.”
Upon hearing this, the Beast King was stunned and the next moment, his face turned ghastly pale. He finally understood the trickery of the Heavenly Saint Daoist. He regretted not listening to the Half-step Saint Seat’s Demon Beast’s advice and his earlier stubbornness. He was consumed by revenge but forgot that the Heavenly Saint Daoist was always out for personal gains.
Logan walked out from the shadows, the Killing Array activated at the movement of his heart. In an instance, the entire place lit up with a barrier, cutting off all spiritual energy. The Law’s Force of the Demon Beast Tribe was immobilized as well. The Beast King felt his strength weakening, he could only exert thirty percent of his power. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Heavenly Saint Daoist flashed a playful smile, looking at the Beast King, “I’m quite generous. At this point, there’s nothing to hide. I’ve been working with Logan, and it was all just a ploy to scam you. And you foolishly fell for it. It’s simply laughable.”
“You may have trapped me today, but you may not have the last laugh.” By this time, although the Beast King’s face had become extremely solemn, there was not a trace of fear. Being the king of the demon beast clan, he wouldn’t beg his enemies even if he had to die in the battle. Moreover, he wasn’t necessarily destined to die today.”
What if his realm was weakened? A Sanctuary Powerhouse, even at thirty percent of its strength, is equivalent to a Half-step Saint Seat. And the Heavenly Saint Daoist was exhausted. He can only display one-tenth of his abilities. According to this calculation, he still has a twenty percent advantage. Hence, the Heavenly Saint Daoist is not his adversary, and Logan and the others are just a mob who are trying to bluff behind the Heavenly Saint Daoist.”
The Heavenly Saint Daoist glared fiercely and released a Divine Skill attack. The seemingly effortless blow left the Beast King struggling to fend off. He was stunned. How could the Heavenly Saint Daoist be so powerful? He didn’t seem like he was at death’s door but rather as domineering as he was a century ago.”
The Beast King had to acknowledge a fact: the power of the Heavenly Saint Daoist seemed to have restored, and he had made a grave mistake today. He was engulfed in fear, the only thought in his mind was to survive. Escape seemed impossible, the group of Heavenly Saint Daoist would definitely not let him go.”
The Heavenly Saint Daoist launched his best attacks, while the Beast King continued to lose ground. He had no power left to fight in the hands of the Heavenly Saint Daoist. He was always on the defensive, and his Realm had been weakened to the Dominator Realm by the array. How could he fight against a Sanctuary Powerhouse? It would be an absurd tale to speak of wining today.”
The Beast King didn’t want to die, he fell into deep thought. The only way out was to try and sway one side to his favor. The partnership between the Heavenly Saint Daoist and Logan was not solid. They were enemies before, and they had only formed a temporary alliance to fight against him.”
“Let’s make a deal, I can give you the Demon Beast’s Supreme Treasure, and in return, I hope to save my life. Even though my strength has been weakened now, I can struggle to perish together. I believe even you, the Heavenly Saint Daoist, can’t stop me. Wouldn’t it be better to work together against Logan, and obtain the Demon Beast’s Supreme Treasure for nothing?”
The Beast King looked at the Heavenly Saint Daoist as he spoke. This was a delaying tactic. If the Heavenly Saint Daoist fell for it, then he had a glimmer of hope to survive. Once he could escape this Barrier, his strength would recover. The Heavenly Saint Daoist naturally wouldn’t fall for it. He was well aware of the Beast King’s stubborn nature.”
The Heavenly Saint Daoist smiled playfully and mocked, “You cherish your wealth like your life, would you really give up the Demon Beast’s Supreme Treasure to me willingly? This is just a pie in the sky, a tactic that I, the Heavenly Saint Daoist, often use. It may fool other cultivators, but don’t embarrass yourself in front of people of the same cunning.”

“I, the Beast King, am respected, I don’t need to lie to you.” The Beast King was indignant, urging the Heavenly Saint Daoist to consider his proposal carefully. Otherwise, even if he were able to kill him, he would never be able to find the Treasure. The only choice right now was to work with him. Otherwise, he would be waiting for his life to fade away.”
Logan became anxious, fearing that the Heavenly Saint Daoist would turn against them at the last moment: “Don’t believe him. The Supreme Treasure is not with him now. He just wants to trick us into opening the Barrier. Once we kill the Beast King, I have a way to help you get the Supreme Treasure. If you work with the Beast King, he will surely regret it later.”
“I won’t believe him.” The Heavenly Saint Daoist said word by word. In fact, he was hesitant just now. The Beast King’s words sounded very sincere and he couldn’t think of a reason to reject, but one sentence from Logan woke him up. Cooperating with the Beast King was like walking on a knife’s edge, a small misstep could lead to a fall.”
Upon seeing that he couldn’t trick the Heavenly Saint Daoist, the Beast King immediately turned to Logan and the others to discuss cooperation. He tried to fool Logan to open the Barrier first, promising him all kinds of rewards. But Logan just scoffed and reminded the Beast King of his previous ingratitude.”
The Beast King regretted greatly in his heart. Why did he bear the thought of killing Logan who once saved his life, let alone making a fuss with him to this extent? If he had always respected Logan as always, the one on the brink would not be him. Perhaps it would be the Heavenly Saint Daoist.”
He was full of sadness, he sighed, “It seems today, as the King of the demon beast clan, I am to be buried here? But I’m not content. As a glorious Sanctuary Powerhouse, I had stepped on the strongest path of cultivation, but because of a moment’s lapse in judgment, I was so painstakingly tricked into this helpless situation.”
