Born Almighty Warrior novel Chapter 285

"Why?" Ricky could not help but ask with a pensive face. He had rarely engaged in discussions about the whereabouts of the Arhat Palace's resources. Bastian's mysterious statement concerning the sister and brother, as well as the secret chamber of the Arhat's Palace, aroused his curiosity. 'Why would the sister and brother stay in an unearthly chamber for months on end?' Ricky thought to himself. The question was strange enough to pique everyone's interest.

"I'm one hundred percent sure that the sister and brother are practicing some kind of cultivation method that requires them to stay in the darkness. It must be that they are not allowed to be exposed to light before they are able to complete the method! So, my opinion is that they are still inside the secret chamber now. There's no way what happened outside the chamber could have reached them yet. Everybody from the Arhat Palace is dead, after all. I don't think the other forces would be so kind-hearted as to inform them of the unfortunate news about their palace." Bastian went on and on with an excited smile on his face the whole time.

"I was able to recover the detailed location of the secret chamber from Nathan. It is the same as the secret room where the storage ring is placed. Nathan also told me that for the past several years, people rarely saw them. Only Nathan and Stan had seen them a few times in years."

"What on earth are they doing? It's just so mysterious! I'm starting to grow interested in their cultivation method! Do you have more information about the method they use?" Tyson asked, eyes opening wide out of curiosity.

"Unfortunately, I don't know anything else. Nathan said that he had no idea what kind of method they were using either. According to him, Stan probably knew it. He's dead, so the sister and brother themselves are the only ones left that are sure to know it. They are the practitioners, after all," Bastian replied in a frustrated tone before he shrugged his shoulders. He regretted not being able to provide the critical missing information.

"So, do you have any idea how strong the sister and brother are?" Ricky asked again, intending to get as much as information about the sister and brother as he could. Ricky and his men destroyed the sister and brother's family, so they would definitely take revenge on Ricky and his organization once they learned the tragic story of what happened to the Arhat Palace. Ricky was well aware of that; that was why he wanted to hear more about them.

"They should be at about the sixth grade of Bone Reinforcement by now. They won't make great progress unless they succeed in their mysterious cultivation method. From what I know, they are still in progress with their cultivation," Bastian explained.

"I think I know what you are thinking! You all want to sneak into that secret chamber, am I right? What's so troublesome about doing it that way is that we can't enter that room!" Bastian continued and shook his head. His eyes were full of despair at the roadblock that was before them.

"Why can't we get into the room?" Ricky asked.

"According to Nathan, there are only two ways to open the chamber's door. One is for the sister and brother to trigger the switch from inside the room to open the door. Another is to use the power belonging to an innate spirit to smash apart and shatter the door from the outside!

Think about it! We can't do that! We can't make the sister and brother open the door. We are their enemies and they would never listen to us if we asked! None of us is an innate spirit! We do have the power of the so-called innate spiritual ball, but we all know that innate power condensed in the ball is nothing compared to that of a real innate spirit standing in front of us. We can't use that either," Bastian said as his face grew more frustrated thanks to the depressing fact that neither way would work.

"Yeah! You're right! This is indeed a difficult problem! I'm afraid the only way to solve this problem is to say something that will trick the sister and brother into opening the door," Ricky reasoned in a clam tone after he thought about it for a moment.

"Trick them? How!?" Kristen asked, surprised that Ricky had even suggested it.

"Don't worry! Let me deal with the plan! I'll sneak into the Arhat Palace with Soar tonight to give it a try! Just wait for my update about the situation!" Ricky asserted with a determined look.

"Well, okay then! I think it's the best option we have for the time being. If all of us went there, we would be too eye-catching and the remaining seven forces would definitely notice us! The sister and brother might sense that something is wrong too! Russell, just make sure you're careful and don't get hurt!" Kristen praised Ricky's idea.

"Yes, I will! So, I'll be going soon since it's already late now. You guys have a good rest and I will bring you back good news later. The Manor Gang will soon become completely known as the Manor Palace! We're going to be one of the top forces in the Chaotic Region soon!" Ricky exclaimed with a cocksure grin. His eyes were gleaming with confidence.

Then, he stood up and made a slight bow to everyone as a formal big goodbye. All the other people at the table stood from their chairs and bowed back to him. They trusted that Ricky would complete the mission, especially while he was carrying Soar with him.

Things went exactly as Ricky had anticipated. The chiefs of the remaining seven forces had cast doubt on what happened in the Chaotic Mountains and they suspected Ricky and Soar were responsible for it.

After the chiefs left the Lower Region and returned to their own region, they had a meeting.

In a secret chamber, the seven chiefs sat face to face. They were all wearing heavy and serious expressions as they looked at each other.

"So, everyone. I'm sure all of you know why we are here. We can just stop with the pleasantries to save time and get straight to the point! Feel free to share all the opinions you may have on the situation!" A muscular man started the meeting with a brief and clear speech.

"Humph! That bastard! He is just a baby at the third grade of Bone Reinforcement! He is just lucky he is favored by a powerful beast of demi-immortal level! From my point of view, it was no other than him and that beast killed our agents and took the key from the Chaotic Mountains! I can't think of any other suspect as likely as him!" An old man in black clothes cursed resentfully before he pounded his fists on the table in a fit of anger.

He wished that his proposal for the seven forces work together and kill Ricky was agreed on by everyone. He even had the urge to bring that proposal to the table! But he knew that it was not going to work because they once failed to work together to deal with Ricky in the past.

Without thinking too much about it, he blamed Ricky for what happened in the Chaotic Mountains.

"I kind of have a different opinion. We can't know for sure whether he and his beast were the ones who did it or not yet. All of us can recognize the smell of that red snake though, so I suggest we go to the Chaotic Mountains and check whether the creature was once really there or not. We should be able to figure out the truth in no time!" A beautiful woman wearing a glittering dress expressed her opinion next.

"If it's true, we will go and hunt after him as a group!"

"I agree with you, so let's go to the Chaotic Mountains soon!" The other chiefs nodded in agreement.

The next moment, all seven of the demi-immortals left their seats at once and left the room. Before too long, they had already left the Upper Region and headed for their destination -- the Chaotic Mountains. They were going to where the eight warriors at the ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement had died miserably.
