9 THRONES

CHAPTER 125: THE MONSTER LAB MOVEMENT

The Pillar of Magma, since Vann's last arrival here, nothing has changed in the Pillar of Magma.

The cultivators also regrouped here after escaping due to the earthquake that happened to the Magma Pillar some time ago. At first they thought something big happened like the Magma Pillar ruler's fight against a great cultivator to the point of causing an earthquake.

But after there had been no response whatsoever from the Magma Pillar until now, they started to think of it as a normal earthquake.

Therefore, many people returned to the Magma Pillar and stayed there either to fight monsters or sell.

On a peaceful day, the leader of the Magma Pillar, Gordaf was on the top floor of the Magma Pillar while staring at a document in his hand.

Gordaf is now sitting in the middle of a magma pond so he must protect the documents in his hands using energy to keep them from burning.

Reading the documents for a while, Gordaf's face turned grim "Tardi became the head of the newest Wood Sword Academy? Very inconvenient! The man's strength was not under me in the slightest, as long as I wasn't careful, Tardi was able to kill me. The problem is that I have to go to the Wood Sword Academy, rather I have to kill the child and retrieve the Vermilion Blood artifact that he took. Do I have to wait until the boy leaves the academy before killing him? But if that kid doesn't leave the academy at all until master gets here, I'm definitely dead".

When Gordaf was thinking of the best plan to kill Vann and then take out Vermilion Blood again, something strange happened in his labyrinth.

Gordaf burned the documents in his hand and stared at the door of the room full of coldness.

Slowly the door of the upper room of the Pillar of Magma opened, the figure of a man who was nothing but a human walked up to Gordaf.

"Diryas, I never thought you'd dare come here? Aren't you afraid that people will find you? After all you are the one who managed to escape from the Monster Laboratory, as long as they find you, you must be dead!", Gordaf said with a mocking smile.

The human figure that came was Diryas, the teacher of the Monster Laboratory in the past who managed to escape from the assassins of the 4 great powers of Talper Province.

He was sitting by the magma pool "Gordaf, I came here to work with you!".

"You're planning on working with me?" said Gordaf oddly.

A powerful aura appeared all over Gordaf's body, it immediately suppressed the newly arrived Diryas.

Gordaf's voice was no longer mocking or joking but instead turned cold "Stupid human, are you crazy? A low-level cultivator like yourself dared to take me to cooperate, do you think I would agree? Don't help me, your existence just makes me bother. You better leave right now, I'm not killing you because you're an enemy to many humans. But that doesn't mean we're friends, as long as you talk about something unnecessary, I don't hesitate to kill 1 extra human like you!".

Although Gordaf's aura was suppressing him, Diryas did not panic at all "Are you sure to kill me? I'm not as strong as you, but if I'm with the rest of the Monster Laboratory moving together, we might help you overcome the Wood Sword Academy! Didn't you lose an important spirit, Vermilion Blood? We can work together to attack the Wood Sword Academy".

"I don't know where you hid Vermilion's Blood, how could I make the child get it?" said Diryas rolling his eyes "There's a Shadow telling me, most likely he told me that we could work together against the Wood Sword Academy".

"Dreams?", said Gordaf "Why are they always happy to be involved in other people's affairs? Alright, even if we are going to cooperate, why should you attack the Wood Sword Academy? Wouldn't it be better to destroy the Yun Family first which was the strongest power? After all it wasn't just the Wood Sword Academy that destroyed your Monster Laboratory in the past".

"But the treasure of the Monster Laboratory was sealed on the Wood Sword Academy, the Flute of 1000 monsters!" said Diryas recalling his past hatred "The head of the Wood Sword Academy a few years ago took the 1000 monster Flute that became our precious treasure and then sealed it in the academy so that we would not have a chance to take it again. Therefore, I have to get that flute again! As long as I have the flute, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I have the chance to destroy the 4 great powers of Talper Province".

"The flute of 1000 Monsters which is a low-level grade-5 artifact? Who would have thought that thing was hidden in the Wood Sword Academy! But I have no interest in taking it because the 1000 Monster Flute is too unique, it can summon many powerful monsters during use, instead then the life of the flute user will be lost. The stronger the user, the more powerful the monster that was summoned" Gordaf said, shaking his head "You are too crazy, you chose to die in order to successfully take revenge, I don't understand what you think".

"You don't need to know what I'm thinking, just answer whether you agree or don't cooperate with us? Your job is only to fight Tardi, all the other academy officials, we will fight him!", said Diryas firmly.

"You guys are so confident? Tardi had 10 powerful teachers in his carriage, not to mention Hasel and Gostaf there! Your Monster lab is not an opponent at all" Gordaf said in disbelief.

Diryas remained firm "You may be right, our normal strength is not their opponent. But we brought the latest 1000 Monster Swords on the assault this time around. Do you think that 1000 Sword Monsters is not enough?".

Gordaf was surprised to the point that he stood up from the magma pool "You didn't deceive me, did you?".

"If I dare to deceive you, I will die! I'm not that stupid to die at the hands of the person who might be my partner against the Wood Sword Academy" said Diryas shaking his head "So how do you answer? Agree or refuse?".

"Surely I agree to cooperate with you guys!", said Gordaf gladly "I finally have the chance to obtain Vermilion Blood again! Wait for me, son! I'll kill you then take Vermilion's Blood back!".

Seeing Gordaf agree to help, Diryas smiled happily. He had lived in hiding from the 4 great powers in Talper Province for many years, without the slightest chance of revenge.

Even he had always failed to become a mid-level cultivator, he had almost given up on revenge.

But under Diryas' strong determination and remembering his friends from the Monster Laboratory who were killed cruelly in the past, Diryas strengthened his revenge determination again.

Although his strength was not against the 4 great powers of Talper Province, he could at least make a plan that defeated them.

Currently, he managed to make a plan with Gordaf where he believed he could win.
