Velsky's voice was extrely low, only Xu Hao could hear it.
Xu Hao looked up at him. Xu Hao was well aware of Velsky's true identity; he was a powerful mber of the Werewolf Clan. When he transford, he could beco a half-human, half-wolf, significantly boosting his strength and combat power.
However, Kada Saburo was no easy opponent either. Even if he couldn't win, he could still manage to escape.
But, it was clear that Velsky had murderous intent towards Kada Saburo.
Of course, Xu Hao also wanted to get rid of Kada Saburo. He and the Kada family had been at odds for a long ti, but the Kada family had been quiet recently, and Xu Hao hadn't had ti to deal with them, so it was postponed.
But now, there was a golden opportunity to eliminate a strong figure of the Kada family, and Xu Hao certainly wouldn't miss it. However, he still had a sense of caution towards Velsky.
Moreover, the fact that Kada Saburo could cultivate to this level ant he wasn't a fool. His previous remarks were either a bluff to make others cautious, or he truly had great confidence in seizing the artifact.
Xu Hao thought for a mont and whispered, "Of course, but killing him will also bring trouble. We must kill all these Kada family mbers."
"That's only natural. Additionally, to show our sincerity, I'll tell you a secret: the Kada family might not be the only ones who ca this ti. There might be more powerful figures hiding outside, but perhaps they arrived too early for to detect," Velsky whispered.
Seeing that Velsky revealed so secrets, Xu Hao chose to trust him and said, "No problem."
Xu Hao was well aware that even though it seed like he had made an agreent with Velsky, in this place, everyone except himself was an enemy!
To seize the artifact, it ant offending everyone present. If not killing, they must at least be intimidated.
Perhaps Velsky would be the first to take action against him later.
"Click! Rumble——!"
With a loud bang, the large door inside the Temple was suddenly opened.
This door didn't require a key; the natives could open it themselves.
What appeared in front of everyone was a long staircase passage leading straight underground, with gusts of cold wind emanating from within.
Florando laughed and said, "Everyone, inside there are traps. Xu Hao, Velsky, Hai wood, and Kada Saburo, how about we take turns being the vanguard?"
None of them had any objections.
These natives had guarded this place for years; they could even open this door, but they dared not step onto the staircase anymore.
This staircase had long been called the Death Staircase; over the centuries, many locals had tried to traverse it, but without exception, they all failed.
Seeing that he was placed second and Kada Saburo last, Xu Hao's eyes flickered with a subtle light, as if he sensed sothing, but he remained silent.
Walking at the end, Prince Mitford said, "Everyone, over the years, many mbers of our Inca Royal Family have perished in this passage. We couldn't even retrieve their bodies. The Sun Temple is full of dangers, so please be careful when entering."
Everyone knew full well, was Prince Mitford really that kind-hearted? Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet
He probably hoped that after everyone fought over the prize, they'd all perish, and he'd get the final result himself.
But, being a wise man, he knew so things couldn't be forced. The matters within the Sun Temple were of great consequence, beyond their protection, so he played along to maintain relations.
"Alright, I'll go first."
Florando took the lead to be the first vanguard, leading everyone downward.
They had just descended about a dozen steps when countless sharp swords shot out from both sides!
When Prince Mitford and the others saw this scene, they imdiately retreated. These swords alone were enough to give them a hard ti.
Florando, however, remained unfazed. With a wave of his hand, a powerful Energy Force emanated from it, knocking the swords askew. To experts of their level, these swords were laughably child's play.
Seeing Florando so easily and casually disarm the first crisis, Prince Mitford and the others were filled with awe. Is this the power of a peerless expert?
These swords, enough to kill an ordinary person countless tis over, seed to have no effect against such powerful individuals. Their gazes at Florando and the others were filled with fear.
Florando chuckled lightly and said, "If all the traps outside are of this sort, I'm truly disappointed. I heard the Inca Empire, before its mysterious destruction, was extrely powerful, filled with experts. As a re small country, it conquered vast lands nearby, covering half of present-day South izhou."
