The gate opened. Chu Feng hurriedly stepped inside.
Countless treasures lay within, most of them weapons.
Many of the weapons radiated extremely powerful auras.
They were half-completed Venerable armaments, half-completed Venerable armaments of exceptional quality.
Originally, Chu Feng had thought the half-completed Venerable armaments in his Cosmos Sack were already numerous.
Only after seeing the ones before him did he realise that what he had considered top-grade half-completed Venerable armaments were nothing more than a joke.
So half-completed Venerable armaments could actually reach an entirely different level of craftsmanship.
And right now, such flawlessly crafted half-completed Venerable armaments were simply innumerable.
Beyond that, there were also weapons whose auras far surpassed those of half-completed Venerable armaments.
Those were Venerable armaments. They had to be Venerable armaments. Only Venerable armaments, which could only be wielded by Martial Venerable realm experts, could emit such domineering auras.
Chu Feng had heard how precious Venerable armaments were, and the ones here were undoubtedly even more extraordinary.
At this moment, Chu Feng was utterly thrilled.
Most of these treasures were priceless.
Excited though he was, Chu Feng did not immediately reach out.
This place was far too strange.
Although the Long Clan patriarch and the others had not had time to explain what exactly this Ancient Soldier Burial Tomb was before that bizarre hurricane blew them away, the fear on their faces the moment they recognised the origin of this place told Chu Feng that the Ancient Soldier Burial Tomb was definitely not simple.
Yet after carefully observing his surroundings, Chu Feng could not detect anything unusual.
The supreme treasures were right in front of him, dazzling and plentiful, and there were no barriers or mechanisms anywhere in sight.
“Could I really have stumbled upon incredible fortune?”
Chu Feng still harboured doubts, but as the saying goes, fortune favours the bold.
When he could not tell whether danger truly existed, Chu Feng’s nature would never let him meekly choose the safe option.
So he made his move.
He reached out and a tremendous suction force enveloped the treasures before him.
Yet after the suction covered them, the treasures did not budge in the slightest, as if his suction had no effect at all.
Still, Chu Feng could clearly feel that his suction had indeed grasped those treasures.
“I’ll try. At worst, I’ll die.”
Chu Feng gritted his teeth and began walking forward.
He gave up on taking them from a distance and decided to take them with his own hands.
Chu Feng was not greedy. He first approached a long sword.
This sword was very special. It appeared to be made of wood, yet it was a half-completed Venerable armament of astonishing quality.
Any random half-completed Venerable armament here completely outclassed those he carried.
But this sword that looked like it was carved from wood was arguably the most outstanding among all the half-completed Venerable armaments here.
Do not judge it by its shabby, broken-wood appearance, as if it were a child’s toy.
In reality, it was the king among the half-completed Venerable armaments in this place.
“What a fine weapon.”
The moment Chu Feng grasped this seemingly tattered wooden sword, he felt a powerful ancient aura surge into his body.
That was the sword’s aura, as though it was telling Chu Feng just how extraordinary it was.
However, when Chu Feng tried to lift the sword, he discovered he could not move it at all.
The sword lay plainly among the many weapons, yet Chu Feng could not shift it in the slightest. Forget lifting it, he could not even budge it half a millimetre.
“Eeek, eeek, eeek…”
Suddenly, a terrifying shriek like that of a fierce ghost rang out behind Chu Feng.
The moment the sound reached him, chills ran down his spine. When he turned to look, every hair on his body stood on end.
Behind him, just outside the gate, a figure had appeared.
It was a woman with an excellent figure but wearing very little.
Yet her appearance was horrifying: skin deathly pale, eyes blood-red.
She looked exactly like a corpse, and yet right now she was staring straight at him.
Most importantly, she simply stood there. Chu Feng could not sense her cultivation, fine, but he could not sense any aura from her at all.
It was as though she did not exist.
“If you want these treasures, there is a price to pay.”
Before Chu Feng could speak, the eerie woman opened her mouth.
Swish!
As her words fell, she waved her wide sleeve, and immediately a gigantic formation gate materialised behind her.
The formation gate was like a window. Through it, everything inside could be clearly seen.
Chu Feng could see that within the formation gate lay a blood-red space.
Inside that blood-red space were several figures: Long Xiaoxiao, the Long Clan patriarch, and everyone who had previously been blown away by the hurricane. They were all there.
Only now, every one of them wore expressions of agony.
Because all of them were chained by black shackles around their throats and hung in mid-air.
It is worth mentioning that not only were the people swept away by the hurricane present.
There was one extra person.
That person was the disciple of Granny Wish God, the domineering old man.
But that old man was also chained by the neck with black shackles, suspended in the air, struggling in pain.
“Carefully count the number of these people.”
“Then count the number of treasures in this place.”
The eerie woman said to Chu Feng.
“There is no need to count. The numbers are the same.”
“Senior, what exactly do you intend?”
Chu Feng asked in a heavy voice.
Chu Feng’s powers of observation were sharp. Before entering this place, he already knew how many people had travelled with him.
And after seeing the treasures here, with just one glance he also knew their exact number.
Originally he had not paid it any mind.
Normally, the number of treasures here exceeded the number of people accompanying him by one.
But now, inside that blood-coloured space, there was one additional person: the disciple of Granny Wish God.
With the appearance of Granny Wish God’s disciple, the number of people now matched the number of treasures perfectly.
This made Chu Feng realise that something bad was probably about to happen.
Swish!
Suddenly the woman raised her arm, and a black long blade flew towards Chu Feng.
Hum!
Chu Feng did not catch it. Instead he used martial power to fix the black blade in place before him.
“Senior, what exactly do you mean by this?”
Chu Feng asked again.
“Very simple. Kill one person, and you may take one treasure from here.”
“Rest assured, you only need to stab this blade towards the people inside the formation gate. Whoever you aim at will die.”
“They will not even see that it was you. They will not know how they died. No one will blame you.”
“If you are ruthless enough to kill everyone here, then all the treasures in this place will be yours.”
“Oh, right. Her, him, him, him…”
At this point the woman pointed at Long Xiaoxiao, Long Xiaoxiao’s parents, Long Shengbu, Elder Gongsun, and others.
“These few people are somewhat special to you. So if you want to take the Venerable armaments here, you must… kill them.”
“Otherwise, no matter whom you kill, you will never be able to take the Venerable armaments.”
The woman stared at Chu Feng. Although she wore a smile, those eyes flickering with red light made Chu Feng feel deeply uneasy.
