Berserk God of War

Chapter 1346: Chapter 1346: Here Comes the First Venerable

At this moment, Xiao Jia asked worriedly, ”Grandpa Wuji, will they really fall for such an obvious trick?”

Without waiting for Master Wuji’s answer...

Little Liang spoke first, ”They definitely will, because all the venerables have selfish motives. They all want to capture Grandpa Xiu. They might suspect it’s a trap, but they’ll have to check it out regardless.”

”After all, Grandpa Xiu’s value is simply too high, and as long as they investigate, they will inevitably fall into Brother Sikong’s trap.”

As soon as these words fell, someone reported that the venerables had dispersed and entered the town...

In response, Little Liang smiled as he continued...

”Brother Sikong truly sees things as they are...”

”Indeed, Pei Yufeng uses these venerables’ selfishness to test whether the Lingque Secret Realm is a fraud. Next, one by one, they will enter the secret realm and be killed by the masters invited by Brother Sikong.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jia’s eyes sparkled brightly...

Suddenly, Xiao Jia asked again, ”Why does Brother Sikong let them go in one by one?”

This question prompted Little Liang to flick her forehead hard, saying, ”Do I even need to explain? The masters invited by Brother Sikong aren’t that strong; they can only kill them one by one!”

With this statement, Xiao Jia shyly lowered her head, wondering why she wasn’t as smart as Little Liang.

...

At the same time, inside the empty Lingque Secret Realm.

Sikong Jing sat in the square of the small village, beneath him was the stone platform that originally held the remains of the Golden Cold Divine Sparrow. Now, the Lingque Clan was preparing for a grand escape, and the remains of the Golden Cold Divine Sparrow had to be taken along.

Beneath the stone platform, entangled by ropes of the Emperor’s Artifact, lay An Xiao, Pei Yufeng’s hidden piece...

Just as ordered a few days ago, Sikong Jing still hadn’t executed An Xiao.

”Sikong Buwang, what are you doing alone in the Lingque Secret Realm?”

At this moment, An Xiao couldn’t help but speak up, loudly asking, ”And what are you planning to do with me?”

Having been locked up for days, An Xiao knew he was as good as dead, but still couldn’t understand what Sikong Jing was up to, especially now that the entire secret realm only had the two of them, making him feel incredibly uneasy.

Sikong Jing smiled and replied, ”You are of great value to me. As for me staying alone in the Lingque Secret Realm, I’m waiting for each venerable to arrive so I can kill them one by one...”

Upon hearing these words, An Xiao suddenly raised his head and said, ”With just you?”

”He’s here, the first one!” Sikong Jing didn’t answer but instead stared towards the entrance of the Lingque Secret Realm.

Master Wuji had left Sikong Jing with an Emperor’s Artifact, allowing him to perceive the situation outside the Lingque Secret Realm...

Now he perceived that the first venerable had arrived, and as expected, he was alone.

...

In front of the small building at the entrance of the Lingque Secret Realm, a strange figure suddenly appeared. It was the Han Dong Venerable, the first to leave Pei Yufeng’s Divine Shuttle Ship. He stared eerily at the small building ahead...

Just as Pei Yufeng guessed, Han Dong Venerable wouldn’t bother investigating other places for potential traps.

His target was the Lingque Secret Realm, looking for a chance to secretly capture Xiu Hanzi.

The value of Xiu Hanzi was immense.

Of course, along the way, he was also investigating traps, as even Han Dong Venerable feared death.

Thus, he discovered that the troops of Wuji Town were hidden underground. Finding no traps, he stormed underground to capture some people for intense interrogation...

No matter who he asked, all pointed out that Xiu Hanzi had already been captured, and Master Wuji was trying to rescue him.

In other words, what the woman holding the child said was true.

There were no traps; Wuji Town was easily breached just because Xiu Hanzi was captured, nothing more.

Boom...

But Han Dong Venerable still hesitated to enter the small building. While his expression grew sinister, the doors of the small building suddenly swung open, and Qiteng, leading several Lingque powerhouses, strode out.

They glared menacingly at Han Dong Venerable, as Qiteng shouted, ”Venerable of Beiming Hanshan, get out!”

With those words, Qiteng and the powerhouses charged at Han Dong Venerable with all they had.

Regrettably, neither Qiteng nor the others were venerables and thus were no match for Han Dong Venerable.

So after a few moves, they were directly knocked to the ground.

Then Qiteng and the others screamed frantically, ”What are you doing? There’s a trap inside, a trap meant to deal with you.”

Upon hearing this, Han Dong Venerable, who initially didn’t consider it a trap, began to smile.

Since Qiteng said that, it seemed even less likely there was a trap.

He forcefully dragged Qiteng into the small building, then went to the room where the entrance to the secret realm was, blasting away everyone in the small building who belonged to the Lingque Secret Realm, and finally said to Qiteng, ”Open the entrance to the secret realm for me right now.”

Han Dong Venerable didn’t have the method to open the secret realm, so he had to rely on Qiteng to open it...

With eyes wide open, Qiteng furiously responded, ”There really is a trap inside; you’ll die if you enter.”

However, the more he said this, the less Han Dong Venerable believed there was a trap inside.

Suddenly, True Qi pressed on Qiteng, and he growled, ”Open the secret realm for me, or I’ll kill you right now.”

He tortured Qiteng with terrifying Beiming True Qi...

The latter screamed continuously, finally opening the secret realm’s entrance in agony.

But finally he clung tightly to Han Dong Venerable’s leg, his eyes red, ”There really is a trap inside; don’t go in!”

Bam...

Han Dong Venerable kicked him flying, then gazed at the white light of the entrance.

Suddenly, he turned back and asked, ”Tell me again, is there a trap inside?”

”I am the Venerable of Beiming Hanshan. If I capture Xiu Hanzi, I might be able to save the Lingque Clan...”

He remained highly cautious and didn’t enter immediately.

After a slight shift in expression, Qiteng finally bowed his head and said, ”There really is a trap... Master Wuji actually wants you to go in to disturb things and see if he can rescue Master Xiu. Enter if you dare.”

Upon these words, Han Dong Venerable’s eyes lit up, and he finally had no doubts.

Qiteng’s explanation was indeed more reasonable than earlier performances, causing Han Dong Venerable’s eyes to glint coldly: ”Cause disruption? This sovereign excels at that. Maybe I can negotiate with Qi Wuji for some cooperation as well.”

At this moment, his selfishness exploded!

He also knew other venerables would soon arrive, so he decisively stepped into the Lingque Secret Realm without further hesitation.

But he immediately retracted his foot and looked at Qiteng again, ”Inside the small building, who else can open the secret realm?”

Upon hearing this, Qiteng raised his head and replied, ”Just me...”

”Then after I enter, close the entrance to the secret realm immediately.” Saying this, Han Dong Venerable stepped into the realm with a sinister grin, and upon landing, he realized the entrance was indeed closed.

He couldn’t help but laugh, clenching his finger lightly...

Then, Han Dong Venerable laughed sinisterly again, saying, ”The Qiteng outside is already dead. Even if other venerables arrive, they can’t enter the secret realm immediately, and Xiu Hanzi will belong to us, Beiming Hanshan...”

That slight clench was just to trigger the power he’d left on Qiteng, causing Qiteng to abruptly die.

With Qiteng’s death, other venerables wishing to open and enter the Lingque Secret Realm would have to find another core powerhouse from the Lingque Clan capable of opening it, which couldn’t happen quickly.

Even if Pei Yufeng arrived with several venerables, it wouldn’t help; he, Han Dong Venerable, held all the advantage.

However, Han Dong Venerable had no idea...

At the moment he clenched his finger, there was indeed an explosion on Qiteng outside the secret realm, but then it instantly disappeared.

Qiteng hadn’t died at all!
