Chapter 1364 – Framed

In the central treasury, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng did not immediately retreat upon seeing the peak Rank Eight silver tiger. This was because Zhao Feng could see through the little thieving cat that the two Yao God groups were still fighting. Thus, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng were ready to charge into the treasury, kill the silver tiger, and take what they could before leaving.

But just when the two of them were about to attack the peak Rank Eight tiger, they noticed that the silver tiger exuded a Soul Intent far greater than its cultivation would indicate.

“Not good! This silver tiger is the clone of that Yao God leader!” Zhao Feng finally saw what was going on with his God’s Spiritual Eye.

At the same time, the little thieving cat told Zhao Feng of what was happening on the battlefield.

“Let’s go! The two Yao God groups are coming over!” Zhao Feng suddenly grimaced.

As the two fell back, the peak Rank Eight silver tiger immediately pursued to stop them. Naturally, this was the will of the silver tiger leader.

Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng working together could kill this silver tiger with little difficulty, but since both large Yao God groups were coming toward them, they could not remain for even one extra second.

After leaving the Giant God Race treasury, the two of them spotted a vast horde of tiger and python Yao Gods approaching them. Their leaders were clearly a massive tiger covered in strange dark silver patterns and a massive silver-green python. Both of them were at the peak of Rank Nine.

If they were ordinary peak Rank Nine Yao Gods, someone of Xin Wuheng’s strength wouldn’t have even paid them a second glance. However, the Yao Gods of this place were skilled in Time Intent. In a one-on-one duel, even Xin Wuheng would find them troublesome. Moreover, they also had a vast number of Yao God subordinates, all of them formidable in their own right.

“You two thieves, you actually dare to plunder my treasury!?” the silver tiger bellowed as it approached with surging momentum.

“It was you two who incited discord between our groups?” the python asked with a cold and sinister voice.

“Run!” Zhao Feng yelled.

They originally believed that, with their speed and reaction time, they could escape before the two Yao God groups arrived. Alas, the peak Rank Nine silver tiger had left a clone in the central treasury. It still wasn’t a match for them, but because the peak Rank Nine Yao God was controlling it, that silver tiger was more powerful than usual.

“Stop!” The clone suddenly self-detonated, transforming into a dark-silver destructive storm that attempted to force Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng back into the treasury.

Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng worked together, using defensive arts to block this self-detonation.

Brrrooom!

They just barely managed to escape the treasury when the vast horde of Yao Gods began to rumble toward them.

Even someone as composed as Zhao Feng felt his heart rapidly thump at this sight.

“We can’t escape!” Xin Wuheng’s expression dimmed.

They were suppressed by this place’s Time Intent, which halved their speed, but these Yao Gods were native and not suppressed in any way. On the contrary, their Time Intent allowed them to move with incredible speed.

It seemed like this horde of Yao Gods would soon reach Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng. The combined power of the two Yao God groups was enough to instantly crush the pair.

“Zhao Feng, do you have any way out of this?” Xin Wuheng asked.

Up until now, Zhao Feng had always been able to put on a surprising performance. If even Zhao Feng didn’t have a solution, Xin Wuheng could only use the power of the Ancient God Seal to leave this place with Zhao Feng.

But the Ancient God Seal could only be used to open a path every one million years. If they left like this, they would need to wait for another one million years before being able to enter again.

They still hadn’t gotten much from the Giant God Race treasury – certainly not enough to allow the Giant God Race to swiftly rise. One million years was also far too long, and far too many events could take place in that time.

…

“What’s going on up ahead?” a peak Rank Eight Ancient God of Ancient Soul Hall asked in surprise.

According to the tool held by Ancient God Jailsea, the Ancient God Seal was up ahead. However, he sensed that there was something strange going on up ahead, and the air was pervaded with a bloody odor.

“That’s… a Yao God group!” Ancient God Jailsea had a stronger Divine Sense and a further sensory range, so he was the first to realize the situation.

“Could it be that Xin Wuheng’s group has been surrounded by these Yao Gods?” Ancient God Jailsea speculated. According to the crystal sphere, the Ancient God Seal was not very far from this Yao God group.

“Then what’s our best course of action?” the other member of his team asked.

“Observe the situation and watch for any changes!” Ancient God Jailsea ordered.

They had also experienced the power of this place’s Yao Gods. Not even a half-step God Lord like him had any confidence of winning against so many Yao Gods.

Ancient God Jailsea sensed the Yao God group because he was a half-step God Lord, but the Yao God group were native creatures and not suppressed in any way. Moreover, they were all extremely old and possessed powerful wills, so they all sensed the team of three from Ancient Soul Hall behind them.

The two Yao God groups were only one hundred thousand li from Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng when they suddenly stopped.

“Humans?” The silver tiger’s eyes were extremely dark and gloomy.

“Why are so many humans appearing here?” The silver-green python was also rather shocked.

Across from the Yao God group, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng noticed the strangeness among the Yao Gods.

“There’s someone else here?” Zhao Feng’s expression darkened.

When Xin Wuheng opened the path with the Ancient God Seal, only their group of five entered, but based on what the two Yao God groups were saying, there were other humans nearby.

“It’s not Ancient God Resplendence or any of the others,” Xin Wuheng said after a brief exchange of messages.

This was even odder. Could there have always been humans in this dimension? However, regardless of what the truth was, escaping was most important.

Suddenly, Zhao Feng’s eyes brightened, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face. “Captain and the others have arrived. The valuables in the treasury will soon be ours for the taking!”

Xin Wuheng was stunned at first, but then he began to speechlessly laugh. Whoever those nearby humans were, Zhao Feng managed to frame them with just a few words.

“What? Captain…?” The silver tiger suddenly grimaced. It hadn’t expected for these humans to have comrades.

In pursuing Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng, they truly had gotten far away from the treasury. If they continued to pursue, the three people behind them might take this chance to enter the treasury. Moreover, the strongest in that trio was a half-step God Lord of formidable power. The peak Rank Nine silver tiger was no match for this person in a duel.

“Let’s go!” Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng began to fly away, traveling neither too fast nor too slow.

Meanwhile, the silver tiger group was in a dilemma. If they continued to pursue, the three people behind them would get into the treasury.

“Give me a hand and you’ll have my deepest gratitude!” the silver tiger spoke to the silver-green python.

“Okay.” The python immediately agreed.

The war between the two groups this time had resulted in many casualties, and all of this had been incited by humans, leaving them absolutely furious and with a burning hatred toward humans.

“You guys, pursue those two!” the silver tiger immediately ordered. It then proceeded toward the rear with the silver-green python and most of the Yao Gods.

The remaining four silver tigers consisted of one Rank Nine, two peak Rank Eights, and one Rank Eight. These four Yao God swiftly lunged at Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng.

“Nice!” Xin Wuheng couldn’t help but shout. Compared to the previous crisis, these four silver tigers weren’t anything at all.

“The nearby unknown humans are actually so powerful that it requires both of the Yao God leaders to go back?” Zhao Feng was slightly alarmed.

He just made an attempt to see what would happen, and it was naturally wonderful that it worked out, but Zhao Feng didn’t expect this level of success. Those mysterious humans managed to draw away almost ninety percent of the Yao Gods.

On the other end:

“Ancient God Jailsea, something’s wrong!” the peak Rank Eight Ancient God suddenly said.

“Something really is strange!” Ancient God Jailsea had an extremely grim expression.

The three of them had done nothing at all, so why was the group of Yao Gods approaching them with such a fierce momentum? From the looks of it, it was as if they had formed some undying grudge with these Yao Gods.

“Ancient God Jailsea, we need to get out of here!” the Rank Nine Ancient God immediately called out in alarm.

“Slow down!” Ancient God Jailsea barked.

They missed out on the black mountain earlier precisely so they could intercept Xin Wuheng and obtain the Ancient God Seal. If they fled now, they would have completely wasted their opportunity.

“Good Sirs, we hold no grudge against you!” Ancient God Jailsea yelled.

“Hmph, no grudge? You’re rather carefree about it!” The silver-green python coldly sneered.

“Bullshit! Devious humans, die!” The dark silver tiger, unable to restrain its rage, shot toward Ancient God Jailsea in a bolt of silver light.

The silver-green python was right behind it. The two of them needed to work together to deal with this half-step God Lord.

“These idiotic Yao Gods! They must have been fooled by Xin Wuheng!” Ancient God Jailsea realized what happened. At this point, in the face of so many terrifying Yao Gods, he could only flee.

“You’ve definitely misunderstood something. The three of us have come to capture those two youths that you were after!” Ancient God Jailsea waved his hands, unleashing dark halos of energy that attacked the two peak Rank Nine Yao Gods.

“You must die, and they will die as well!” the silver tiger roared.

They left four Yao Gods back there, enough to tear Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng to pieces. Thus, the most important task at hand was killing these three people and venting their rage.

…

Awoooo!

The four Yao Gods howled as they lunged forward.

“Let me try!” Xin Wuheng shouted as he stepped forward, his bloodline energy madly surging.

Boom!

A moment later, a divine white light erupted into the sky, and Xin Wuheng instantly became a massive giant.

Upon activating his bloodline, Xin Wuheng’s defenses and power both received massive boosts. He stood before the four Yao Gods like a steel wall.

Zhao Feng stood in the rear, disrupting the four Yao Gods with eye-bloodline techniques and soul attacks.

Of course, the two did not fight to the death, but rather fought while retreating..

“Lord Wuheng, we’re here!” A little while later, Ancient God Resplendence’s group appeared.

The little thieving cat had come with them.

“They had more comrades?” The Rank Nine Ancient God was furious.

Although the two enemies had unusual strength, they had numbers on their side, and victory was only a matter of time. But now, three more Ancient Gods had appeared, along with a bizarre cat. With the entry of these new combatants, the four silver tigers were instantly on the back foot.

“Don’t fight with them! Escaping is more important!” Xin Wuheng called out.

Although they had the upper hand, the silver tiger Yao Gods were completely capable of calling for reinforcements.

The group worked together in a fighting retreat and were able to smoothly break away from the silver tiger Yao Gods.

After flying for more than half a day, they escaped into the ground to take a momentary rest.

“Lord Wuheng, how did the operation go?” Ancient God Cheng Yun excitedly asked.

This was the treasury built by the Giant God Race. It should have contained enough resources and treasures to support the Giant God Race in a rapid ascension.
