Chapter 176: Who Has More Patience
Translator: 549690339
When a spatial rift appeared in the sky, Guo Taiping was incredulously excited. The entrance to the Secret Realm was finally open.
It seemed that the treasure map was indeed genuine.
It was as if he could see the Sword of the Human Emperor waving at him.
But at that moment, more than a dozen formidable auras erupted nearby. They were undoubtedly from powerful entities in the Divine Power realm.
Damn it!
This completely took him by surprise. Inside the Duke’s mansion, there were actually more than a dozen entities in the Divine Power realm.
He was instantly alarmed. “Third uncle!”
The “Third Uncle” beside him didn’t wait for him to speak. With a swish, he rushed into the Secret Realm.
Guo Taiping was desperate to follow him, but the remaining rationality allowed him to suppress this impulse.
With so many entities in the Divine Power realm present, if he entered the Secret Realm, he would not only be unable to lend a helping hand but would also become a burden to his third uncle.
Just as he was thinking about this, more than a dozen figures closely followed his third uncle and flew into the entrance of the Secret Realm.
Gao Songwei of the Gao Family, Zhou Zongye of the Literary Academy, Hou Jiyuan of the Inner Guards, Gan Zilin of the Lord of the State’s mansion, Princess Chang…
Guo Taiping recognized several entities in the Divine Power realm at a glance. Among them were Gao Songwei and Zhou Zongye, both of whom were in the Mana realm.
His complexion turned pale at once.
His third uncle was only at the second level of the Golden Body. How could he contend with two entities in the Mana realm?
At this moment, he was somewhat regretful. He should have reported this to the ancestor earlier.
It wasn’t that the Guo Family didn’t have entities in the Mana realm. It was just that he had harbored some selfish desires, wanting to monopolize the Sword of the Human Emperor, so he only brought his closest third uncle along.
Who knew that the Gao Family and the Literary Academy would disregard Martial Arts and directly sent out the powerful entities in the Mana realm?
Guo Taiping had considered that the treasure map might be leaked, but he had not expected it to be so thoroughly leaked. These dozen-odd Divine Power entities almost all hailed from different forces.
By this time, he began to sense that something was amiss.
Logically speaking, anyone who got a treasure map would definitely think of monopolizing it. Why would they announce it widely and let so many people know about it?
Just as he was thinking about this, the entrance to the Secret Realm suddenly closed on its own and disappeared.
“How can this be?”
This unexpected change greatly surprised Guo Taiping. He had not instructed the entrance to close.
The methods to open and close the entrance to the Secret Realm were all recorded on that treasure map.
Just at this moment, a layer of black light appeared in the sky, enveloping the entire Duke’s mansion.
“Hahaha…”
A man in a black robe appeared, laughing wildly. “With a little bit of trickery from me, I eliminated seventeen Divine Power entities, fifteen Golden Bodies, and two Mana… Hahaha…”
The Red Venerate Sect!
The Mana realm!
For a moment, Guo Taiping felt as though he had fallen into an ice cave.
By now, how could he not understand that he had been tricked?
The so-called treasure of the Xia Dynasty, the Secret Realm hiding the Sword of the Human Emperor, they were all false. All of this was a scheme by the Red Venerate Sect, aimed at trapping and killing the Divine Power entities of the major forces.
His third uncle was likely in great danger this time.
In the sky, the man in the black robe said, “I am called Red Sun. Today, I have come to take your miserable lives.”
In front of him, a ball of crimson flame condensed, and a terrifying high temperature began to spread.
It was the “Red Flame Divine Skill”, one of the signature techniques of the Red Venerate Sect.
The man in the black robe was a powerful entity in the Mana realm. A full strike from him could reduce the entire Duke’s mansion to a flat ground.
Guo Taiping could feel the destructive power of the crimson flame, and a sense of despair rose in his heart.
He finally understood that the Red Venerate Sect had laid such a large trap, not only to kill a few Divine Power entities but also to wipe out all the high officials and nobles of the court.
Today was the 60th birthday of the Duke. Almost all the high officials were here, including the Empress and Princess Chang. If these people were all to die here, the Great Zhou government would likely collapse.
With the Red Venerate sect launching a rebellion in various places, the world would immediately be plunged into chaos.
Guo Taiping was extremely unwilling, “Could it be… I am going to die here today?”
Suddenly, two figures silently appeared behind the man in the black robe.
One of them held an ancient bronze candle holder, with only a short white candle left on it. A green flame was lit at the wick of the candle.
An eerie green light appeared on the man named Red Sun and immobilized him on the spot.
The other person held a spindle and stabbed it at the black light curtain.
