Rebirth of the Peak Young Master
Chapter 307: One Step Ahead

Chapter 307: Chapter 307: One Step Ahead

After the initial shock, Mi Qi quickly regained his composure.

Dante’s Bounty List Top Ranked?

So what?

Not to mention, Evil God Kate might not necessarily be weaker than Yang Tian, who holds the top spot.

Just a moment ago, under the restraint of Leo, Wendy, Jerman, and Master Gandhi, even Evil God Kate had to temporarily refrain from making a move.

If Yang Tian were to face their combined forces, he wouldn’t fare much better!

Most crucially, Yang Tian may be ranked first, but his rise has been far too rapid!

Kate, Leo, and the others might not see eye to eye, but they’ve known each other for years. More importantly, they are all Westerners!

For an Eastern man to suddenly intrude upon a ranking dominated by Westerners, and moreover, surpassing them all?

Based on Mi Qi’s understanding of Leo and the others, if they encounter Yang Tian and a fight breaks out, Yang Tian would inevitably become their primary target.

Not to mention, once they ascend and discover that Yang Tian has taken the lead, he’ll likely become the target of collective hostility!

After all, who knows if Yang Tian might have gotten his hands on the Divine-level Treasure himself, ahead of them all?

"You little bastard, you dare make me kneel? Haha, I, Tyrant Mi Qi, am not only made up of muscles but also brains! Under my plan, you’ll only meet your demise!"

Tyrant Mi Qi’s eyes gleamed fiercely as he quickly sped toward the distant mountains with other opportunists...

Inside the mountain cavern.

Yang Tian had already disappeared without a trace.

However, the Silver Wolf had awakened ahead of schedule due to his lower cultivation base, making it impossible to continue cultivating.

Yet, even so, the Silver Wolf was more than content, even a little excited in his heart!

Because in the days of cultivation, he had miraculously broken through the bottleneck between the Innate Martial King and the Legendary Realm.

Although he had yet to step into the Legendary Realm, his aura was now firmly at the Innate Martial King’s Peak, with only a half-step left to the Legendary Realm!

At the same time, his respect for Yang Tian deepened.

The turbulent Spiritual Energy within the heated magma was extraordinarily challenging to refine. Only a day of cultivation had been enough to force Silver Wolf to give up.

Yet Yang Tian had managed to remain submerged within that scalding magma for an entire seven days and nights, refining mystical energies as though his body was built like that of a monster!

Upon this thought, Silver Wolf resolved to sit down again to attempt further refinements.

But just as he did, noises suddenly burst forth from outside the cavern.

"Haha! It seems we’re lucky to have found it so soon, though it looks like some clueless fool beat us here first!"

"Someone’s here?"

Hearing the commotion outside, Silver Wolf’s face instantly darkened.

After all, as someone on the verge of stepping into the Legendary Realm, he could sense that the visitors outside were cultivators. Furthermore, their strength seemed formidable.

Could the secret of this place have leaked?

But this location’s secret was discovered only after Yang Tian and he arrived. Previously, there were only rumors about the Demon Beast Core and Shengxi Soil.

Those rumors hardly warranted so many people showing up here!

Before Silver Wolf could piece things together, the sounds outside grew closer, and soon both a fully armored man and a tall, thin man stepped into view.

"The fifth-ranked Fallen Knight Jerman and... and the sixth-ranked Master Gandhi from Dante’s Bounty List?"

Silver Wolf was instantly startled upon seeing the pair.

And when the remaining two men and one woman stepped in, he practically froze on the spot.

Because those two men and one woman were none other than the most renowned figures in the international Underworld: Ice Snow Empress Wendy, Lion King Leo, and Evil God Kate!

"It’s really... really them? All of them are Legendary Peak-level supreme warriors! And the Evil God is just a half-step from the God Realm! What on earth could be here to draw them in?"

The Silver Wolf’s heart raced uncontrollably.

Yet for all of Silver Wolf’s fear, the five visitors paid him no mind.

They simply glanced around at the cavern walls and sensed the cavern’s aura, revealing expressions of satisfaction.

"Haha, it seems the rumors were true. I can feel it—just stepping into this cavern seems to have slightly loosened my long-stagnant cultivation base!" Jerman remarked with a smile.

Master Gandhi chuckled in agreement, "Indeed, this place seems to be a paradise cave!"

"If it’s truly a paradise cave, then there must be treasures!"

As he spoke, Master Gandhi’s gaze quickly turned to the Spirit Stones embedded in the walls behind Silver Wolf.

Naturally, Jerman noticed them as well.

But Ice Snow Empress Wendy shook her head, saying, "The stones in the walls may be treasures, but they aren’t sufficient to mark the presence of a Divine-level Treasure."

"Wendy is right; a Divine-level Treasure wouldn’t be limited to something like this!"

Lion King Leo sneered coldly, "It seems we’ve arrived too late. The treasure has likely already been tainted by some rat’s filthy hands!"

Swish!

Upon hearing Leo’s words, the four others simultaneously focused their gazes on Silver Wolf.

After all, since entering the cavern, the only person they’d seen was Silver Wolf.

If there was a treasure here, the most likely person to have taken it would naturally be him.

As someone nearing the Innate Peak, Silver Wolf’s strength was no longer insignificant. But to suddenly find himself under the scrutiny of the world’s four strongest presences, he was drenched in sweat, unable to utter a single word.

What could he say?

Claim there’s no treasure here?

Judging by the looks on their faces, they clearly wouldn’t believe him!

Or should he betray Yang Tian and pin everything on him?

That was a tempting idea!

But as a seasoned assassin, Silver Wolf understood human nature far too well!

Yang Tian’s strength was the most formidable Silver Wolf had ever encountered in his life!

While Silver Wolf didn’t believe Yang Tian could contend against the combined forces of these five, even if he were God-level, he did believe Yang Tian could take down one or two among them.

For warriors of their caliber, who would willingly serve as another’s stepping stone?

The likely result would be Yang Tian splitting the spoils with these five, while Silver Wolf, as the betrayer, would meet a grisly fate!

Thus Silver Wolf quickly discarded any notion of betraying Yang Tian. Instead, he planned to stall for time until Yang Tian emerged to resolve the matter.

Yet just at that moment, more noise erupted outside, and soon, dozens of people streamed into the cavern.

Leading the group was a man wearing a smirk. "Silver Wolf, we meet again!"

"You!"

Silver Wolf’s face turned pale at the sight of the newcomer, instantly understanding everything.

It was Tyrant Mi Qi!

Having dealt with Mi Qi before, Silver Wolf knew him to be a man who never forgave even the slightest slight!

It now seemed that Mi Qi had feigned restraint before Yang Tian, then leaked the location to lure others here by exaggerating the presence of a supposed Divine-level Treasure. This had attracted so many warriors!

Even if he now denied the existence of a treasure, Mi Qi certainly wouldn’t let the matter go!

Sure enough...

Mi Qi slightly bowed to Evil God Kate and the other four, saying politely, "Honored masters, it was I who spread the information about this place."

"It was you?"

Leo, Wendy, Jerman, and Master Gandhi looked at Mi Qi in astonishment and then revealed a hint of fury.

With their sharp minds, how could they not perceive Mi Qi’s hidden spite?
