In the Left General's hand was indeed the Capital Map, but after Wang Yan altered a few strokes, it made a notation, pinpointing the location of the Array Hub in the Valley of Human Flesh, which happened to be where the Master of the Valley of Human Flesh resided.
Wang Yan planned to use this map as bait to lure the Left General into the Array Hub, break open the Array Hub, obliterate the Grand Array, and rescue Beiming Xue.
The Left General was very familiar with the Valley of Human Flesh, so he immediately recognized that the marked spot was exactly where the Master has resided for years, causing him to hesitate for a moment.
Provoking the powerful Master for just a few thousand Yin Qi Pills could cost him his life.
Compared to his own life, these few thousand Yin Qi Pills were nothing.
Seeing the Left General hesitate, Wang Yan raised his hand again and said, "Here's another piece of the map."
He held a third piece of the map in his hand.
The Left General quickly took the map, which matched the map he held perfectly.
At this point, three-quarters of the map was assembled.
In this third piece of the map, sixteen faintly shimmering characters appeared: "Beyond the heavens lies fortune, cultivation knows no bounds; the sun and moon traverse, and one hand shrouds the sky."
Seeing these words, the Left General's face showed excitement.
Following these sixteen words, does obtaining this treasure grant boundless cultivation, blindingly powerful?
The Left General recalled how the Master of the Valley of Human Flesh never wished to leave his cave since arriving, causing less suspicion previously, but now it was clear that the Master had long had intentions.
If he could shroud the sky with one hand, why fear someone with Four Symbols Combined?
With these thoughts, the Left General immediately collected the map, making a decision in his heart, and looked at Wang Yan with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
But this hint of murderous intent was deeply hidden, not showing, and instead, the Left General wore an unprecedented smile.
"Indeed, Ghost Realm, the treasure shall be split between us two."
Wang Yan's eyes were sharp, noticing the murderous intent in the Left General's eyes earlier; if not for needing the Left General, why would Wang Yan fear his murderous intent?
But for now, he needed him, so Wang Yan calmly stated, "Left General, haven't you noticed that the map is missing a quarter of its parts?"
Hearing this, the Left General was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Yes, where's the last piece of the map?"
"I have it."
"Give it to me!" The Left General reached out to Wang Yan.
Wang Yan shook his head and said, "I've memorized the content on the last piece, but I've already destroyed the map."
Hearing this, the Left General's expression darkened, his eyes fixed on Wang Yan, and he asked in a grave voice, "What was written on the map?"
"Just the spell to open the treasure."
Hearing this, the Left General's expression tightened, his eyes fixating on Wang Yan.
Yet Wang Yan remained as composed, his expression unchanged.
The two remained deadlocked for quite a while, and suddenly the Left General burst into laughter: "Haha, Ghost Realm, I said the treasure is to be split between us; whether you know or I know the opening spell, it doesn't matter."
Wang Yan smiled faintly.
Though the Left General laughed outwardly, inwardly he cursed: The boy's got a mind for schemes. But it's fine; once in the treasure, I will kill him immediately.
"The sooner the better; lest the treasure be taken by others. Why don't we search for the treasure now?" Wang Yan suggested.
Hearing Wang Yan's words, the Left General agreed, believing all along that the Master also knew the secret of the treasure.
However, the Left General pondered another matter: "The entrance to the treasure lies at the Master's dwelling; if we want to enter the treasure, the Master must leave. But how can we lure the Master away, knowing he has never left his cave?"
Wang Yan stood by, aware of what the Left General pondered.
Wang Yan had cast this "bait" deliberately for now he needed the Left General, so this dilemma he left for the Left General to resolve.
But the Left General pondered and pondered, unable to find a suitable idea.
Wang Yan shook his head; the Left General was indeed too foolish.
Wang Yan muttered to himself, "If the Master had a treasure map, he'd go out treasure hunting."
The Left General shook his head, "There isn't such an abundance of treasure maps."
Wang Yan cursed inwardly "Fool," nodding, "True, they're hard to come by. But perhaps if the original treasure map was altered, who knows."
Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, the Left General slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Right! I have a great idea. I can alter my treasure map, change the treasure location to outside the Valley of Human Flesh. When the Master leaves the valley, we can search the treasure cave freely. Ah, I'm really clever!"
Hearing this, Wang Yan sneered internally but outwardly agreed, "Indeed, clever."
The Left General, proud of his clever idea, immediately took out the "Capital Map" and began altering it.
With a few strokes, the map transformed beyond recognition.
The Left General hid Wang Yan in his dwelling's cave while he carried the treasure map, heading towards the Master's cave.
Wang Yan stood in the stone cave, looking out.
Soon after, a figure surged with powerful aura and flew out of the Inner Valley, heading towards the outside of the Valley of Human Flesh.
The one flying out was the Master of the Valley of Human Flesh.
It seemed the Left General's persuasion succeeded; the Valley Master indeed left.
And this was Wang Yan's first encounter with an expert of the Harmonious Four Symbols.
Surely, the aura from the Asura was immensely powerful; Wang Yan was no match for him now.
Wang Yan felt lucky; had it not been for leading away the Master, even if Wang Yan broke the Array, causing chaos in the Valley of Human Flesh, escaping under the Master's eye wouldn't be possible.
As Wang Yan rejoiced internally, the Left General returned, calling Wang Yan, who immediately joined him.
The Left General, with Wang Yan in tow, plunged into a massive cave.
Upon entering, Wang Yan felt elation, for this was precisely where the Array Hub of the Grand Array of Human Flesh Valley resided.
Breaking the Array Hub would cause the Grand Array of Human Flesh Valley to collapse, allowing him and Beiming Xue to escape.
Resolute, Wang Yan concentrated Divine Power from his toes, which surged into the Array Hub, causing the cave to tremble slightly.
Wang Yan felt joy; the cave trembling meant the Array Hub was shaking, and the Grand Array seemed breakable.
But the next moment, Wang Yan's face grew heavy; though his Divine Power continually surged into the Array Hub, it resembled an insatiable black hole, showing no signs of collapse.
Examining the Array Hub closely, Wang Yan's face paled; the Valley Master had refined the Array Hub.
Meaning only two ways remained to break the Array Hub: either the Valley Master acts personally, or the Array Hub is forcibly broken by someone even more powerful.
Yet now, these options were mere dreams, utterly unfeasible.
