Diling was in a towering rage. "Have you ever treated me as a spiritual monster? Don't you find yourself irreverent to me? You made me spit out blood upon your enrolment! Without you, I wouldn't have got injured! If I hadn't got injured, I would have had to rest for weeks! Then I wouldn't have had to head out to seek food myself! Then I wouldn't have had got lost! Then I wouldn't have had been boxed in by the goddamned stone array here! Then I wouldn't have had to suffer from hunger!"
Diling eventually laid everything bare.
Lin Xiao went struck-dumb on knowing all this.
Then it added, "I just passed out there by the stone array. You came and stamped my tail! Jesus Christ! Have I don't anything wrong to you? Why do you treat me like this?"
Hardly had Diling concluded its complaint, Lin Xiao hastened to ask, "Are you truly a spiritual monster?"
"You could kill me if I were a knock-off!" Diling retrieved its haughty manner.
"I have never seen any spiritual monster as disappointing as you."
Lin Xiao's spot-on mockery cut Diling down to size with immediate effect.
"You…You are doomed! As long as I grow up, I'll… I'll have you…Well, forget about it. I don't have a plan yet. I'll let you know once it comes to me."
Diling's childish fit cracked Lin Xiao up.
There was nothing else to conceal now. A gaffe was already made. Hence Diling requested Lin Xiao to do it a favor. "Aren't you a martial marvel? Go and sort out the damned stone array!"
Lin Xiao didn't make any response but whirled around the nine stone tiles.
The nine stone tiles seemed to have changed a bit ever since it rose from down there. Just like what Diling said, another great stone array appeared around the nine stone tiles.
The new stone array got the nine stone tiles entirely blocked. Once in, one could never get out. If he was unable to break through the stone array, he would get stuck in there forever.
Complicated as it was, Lin Xiao was able to sort it out effortlessly. As it was literally a duplicate of the Grand Omnipotent Stone Array that he once broke open.
Therefore, the stone array around the nice stones was essentially a piece of cake.
However, after a couple of whirls, Lin Xiao stopped, appearing somewhat helpless.
Diling gloated over Lin Xiao's potential failure. "Humph! Don't you take yourself a know-it-all? Come on! Sort it out!"
However, the truth is — Lin Xiao was actually scheming against it already.
"This stone array is rather tricky. It only allowed one person out at a time. Stay put. I'll come back to your rescue once I come up with a solution."
Diling went flustered right away. It wished if only the terrible sense of hunger would stop plaguing him promptly.
"But I'm no human being!" Diling held on to Lin Xiao with a tight grab, not willing to let go of him.
"All creatures count!" Lin Xiao explained in a serious tone.
"I know you're the most capable martial wonder! Take me out of here! I can be at your beck and call!" Diling pleaded.
However, its plea was only reciprocated with a categorical rejection, "No! You're good for nothing!"
Diling almost spat out blood again on hearing that. "Come on, man! I'm a respected spiritual monster! Even the patriarch had to behave himself in front of me! And this guy said I'm no good!"
However, Diling chose to bear with that, "No, you're wrong! I can tell warriors' physique types without effort!"
"But you can't do mine."
Diling went completely deranged — Lin Xiao was right about it.
After a moment of hesitation, Diling went on, "I know the whereabouts of treasures."
"I'm not buying it."
"Right beneath the stone tiles."
"That goes without saying. I've long spotted them."
"Good lord! That's not possible!"
"The multi-color spiritual radiant stones are down there."
"You…You…" Diling stared at Lin Xiao, eyes glazed as if it had seen a ghost.
Diling boasted outstanding innate talent of observation. It could see through all types of treasures, be it in heaven or on the earth.
It wouldn't have been stranded here if it hadn't been lured by the treasures beneath the stone tiles. However, with its spiritual force been sealed by the stone array, it was not able to tell what exactly the treasures were.
However, Lin Xiao was capable of that. His expertise in observation was way sharper.
