Chapter 1325 - 31: Miss Artifact Spirit Killer

Wang Anye was quite accustomed to such matters.

When going out to handle business, shouldn’t everything proceed smoothly? There’s no need for any bumps along the way.

His expression remained calm and steady as he looked at Wang Zongchang and said, "Second Grandpa, now that we’ve located the Blood Venerable’s relic, should we go in and take a look, or notify Great Grandpa and have him come to handle it?"

Wang Zongchang was about to say "let’s find Fourth Uncle to handle this together," considering Fourth Uncle’s stable nature and thorough thinking; having him around would make me feel more at ease.

But after a moment’s thought, this was still a matter between him and Wang Anye.

Based on his experience, when working with Wang Anye, it’s best to follow his pace and listen to him, rather than interfere.

With this thought in mind, he coughed pretentiously and said, "Anye, you’re an adult now, and one of the heirs of the family’s direct lineage. You can make the decision yourself in this matter."

"In that case, I’ll make the decision myself." Wang Anye pondered slightly and said, "First, we need to inform Great Grandpa of the current situation. Second, we can investigate the entrance to gather some intelligence for Great Grandpa. But everyone needs to stay safe; the Blood Venerable was not ordinary, and his relics are likely not mundane either."

"Alright, we’ll do as you say."

Wang Zongchang nodded decisively and began organizing manpower on the spot.

This time, the relic exploration required quality over quantity, with Old Yao and Jiang Qingxue sure to descend during the Divine Power Realm, followed by him, Wang Anye, Wang Lilong, and Wang Anxin, along with five large wolves accompanying them.

As for the others, they should wait outside for support. The conditions inside the relics are unknown, and those with too weak a strength would only add to the chaos if they descend.

Soon, everyone was fully prepared.

Wang Anye even handed out a bunch of protective items to everyone.

Due to a widely known reason, the Wang Family’s treasure vault never lacked such items.

However, the protective items that Anye distributed were generally of high quality, notably including Life Tree Leaves that greatly increased injury recovery speed. These were often given to him by his family whenever he went out, though he rarely used them, unintentionally accumulating a large stash.

Under Wang Anye’s lead, everyone quickly followed the underwater passage created by the Ancestor Dragon and descended to the relic’s entrance.

Before their eyes lay a huge hall.

This hall was made of a material resembling neither gold nor jade, with an extremely spacious interior; the walls were densely packed with arrays, engravings, and unknown intricate patterns, indicating the painstaking effort in its construction.

Yet, time is most heartless.

Even with the precious materials used in this hall, unavoidable mottled marks appeared due to the erosion by endless time, imparting an epic sense of antiquity and grandeur at first glance.

However, what caught everyone’s attention at the moment was not the hall itself, but the dense, neatly-packed blood cocoons almost filling the hall like silk cocoons.

The surface of the blood cocoons was covered with purplish-red blood vessels connected to the upper part of the hall; the thick vessels twisted and entangled, appearing sinister and terrifying.

As the blood cocoons slightly wriggled, the purplish-red blood vessels rhythmically expanded and contracted, like living entities. Through the blood-stained cocoon coverings, one could almost hear the powerful heartbeat sounds.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom~!"

A fierce and bloody atmosphere spread, permeating the entire hall, lurking everywhere and pervasive.

"This..."

Such an eerie and terrifying aura made everyone’s scalp tingle.

Even for those present, whose weakest were at the Celestial Human Realm, their hearts couldn’t help but race with involuntary tension.

The number of blood cocoons here was overwhelmingly large~

Moreover, a significant portion among them emitted extraordinarily potent auras, creating a strong oppressive feeling, far from being ordinary Blood Nest warriors.

Fortunately, they had two Divine Power Realm cultivators accompanying them this time, providing everyone with substantial confidence.

"Everyone, don’t be nervous." Wang Anye calmly stated, "This is the entrance; if there’s danger, we can always retreat."

The Ancestor Dragon might be restrained by an oath not to come in, but outside he can provide timely support.

As his words faded.

The hall ceiling flickered with a few instances of blood-red light, as if something was being activated, followed by a cold, emotionless female voice.

"Beep! This is the glorious Blood Dawn Domain! Detecting several humans entering the Saint Hall’s defense system’s monitoring range! Information retrieval in progress... No registration information found, confirmed as intruders!"

"Warning! Warning! All intruders must immediately exit the Saint Hall range, or we have the authority to use any means to expel or suppress them."

Indeed, there was an artifact spirit present.

But it was to be expected; even a Blood Nest sub-base had an artifact spirit, why wouldn’t the Blood Venerable’s lair be managed by one?

For a moment, apart from Old Yao and Jiang Qingxue who were unfamiliar with the situation, everyone’s eyes turned to Wang Anye.

Especially Wang Zongchang, his gaze full of anticipation.

In his eyes, Wang Anye was a master of handling artifact spirit ladies. Whenever Anye took charge, there would be no trouble with any artifact spirit lady.
