The Backstabber Gets Backstabbed, a Terrifying Scheme
The leader of the War God Clan was extremely pleased with himself.
He believed he had succeeded.
But the next moment...
A sudden change occurred.
"Chen Ning," pierced through the chest by a short blade, shattered instantly.
This scene.
It came too suddenly.
This caused everyone present to be taken aback.
Something's fishy!
Soon, Konghen, the War God Clan who had ambushed Chen Ning, felt a chill Kong Hen down his spine. Before he could even turn around, a wisp of demonic energy pierced his heart.
"You... you... this is impossible..."
Life is rapidly fading away in the Kong Hen.
His face was deathly pale.
He was already on his deathbed.
Not just him.
The leader of the War God Clan was also filled with shock. "How is this possible?"
Ji Hongyi, Nalan Yao, and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
Even they were kept in the dark.
This shows how unexpected Chen Ning's move was.
Behind the Kong Hen, Chen Ning revealed a smile and said, "The sixth one is the number six in the saying, 'People are always number six!'"
Actually.
Although Chen Ning did not notice the approach of the Kong Hen, he had already sensed something unusual.
These people appeared to be there to kill him, but once they made their move, they were all focused on fighting Nalan Yao, Old Man Yang, and the others; not one of them risked their life to kill him.
They weren't even distracted.
This is clearly strange.
Therefore, Chen Ning silently activated the power of the Great Dao of Time. Although it appeared that Chen Ning was still standing in this place, in fact, Chen Ning had summoned a Shadow of Chaos to stand in his original position in his place.
The Kong Hen.
Rather, it refers to the eight people who are publicly known.
Soon.
The attackers died with regret, leaving Kong Hen.
Chen Ning then instructed Bai Ziyu and the others, "Leave no one alive!"
"Okay!"
Bai Ziyu smiled, and the others' attacks became even more intense.
The Old Man Yang's Purgatory Fire reduced his remaining opponent to ashes.
Xue Rang picked up the War God Clan and slammed him back and forth. Soon after, the man was shaken to death by the immense force.
Nalan Yao also let out a charming laugh, the silver bell in her hand jingling, the ripples of sound sweeping across the area, and the leader of the War God Clan was Annihilation by the attack she unleashed.
At this point.
All eight members of the War God Clan, plus the attacker Kong Hen, perished.
Three days later.
When the Saint Venerable Qitian returned to his residence in the City of Light.
A figure rushed in to report, "My lord, the War God Clan ambushed Chen Ning and his group three days ago, but were all annihilated..."
"Oh?"
The Saint Venerable Qitian smiled slightly and said, "It's even more efficient than I expected."
"My lord, was this also within your expectations?"
The person who reported this seemed somewhat puzzled.
The Saint Venerable Qitian slowly spoke, "Did you think I sent the clan leader away just so that the War God Clan could kill that brat from the Grand One God Clan? Of course, it would be best if he could kill him, but even if he can't, there are ways in this game that can't be won."
"If the War God Clan can't kill Chen Ning, then the conflict will escalate, forcing the Clan Chief and Heavenly Venerable Zhu to make a choice!" The subordinate realized this at that moment.
"Hmm, you're quite clever. That little fellow from the Grand One God Clan is so amazing; it would be difficult for those few Saint King from the War God Clan to kill him. I originally thought he would escape, and I was even planning to help this little fellow secretly eliminate the War God Clan. I didn't expect him to kill them instead; it was quite unexpected."
The Saint Venerable Qitian was in a good mood and laughed, "If that girl Ji Hongyi is determined to marry that boy, it will be a difficult situation. The clan leader's attitude is still ambiguous, and he may be considering canceling the marriage alliance with the War God Clan."
Upon hearing this, the subordinate couldn't help but clap his hands in praise:
"But now, a War God Clan has died in the City of Light. Even if the Goddess is determined to marry him, the clan leader won't approve. If the Goddess marries him, it will be tantamount to completely offending the War God Clan! You're forcing the clan leader to make a decision!"
The subordinate was greatly shocked, feeling that the Saint Venerable Qitian truly had great foresight.
It turns out that from the very beginning, the Saint Venerable had been using those members of the War God Clan as pawns.
"My lord, therefore, in your plan, the key is for Chen Ning to survive."
"Not entirely, but since he's still alive, our people can hand him over to the War God Clan as a favor."
The Saint Venerable Qitian sighed, "Since the goddess is marrying into the War God Clan, I will ensure that Heavenly Venerable Zhu doesn't gain any benefit this time. We will also take on the favor from the War God Clan."
"Whether Chen Ning lives or dies, it's all beneficial to you, sir. You've won this round by leaps and bounds!"
The subordinate was now completely in awe and admiration.
In a dense bamboo forest.
Chen Ning and his group had been waiting for a while.
At this moment.
Heavenly Venerable Zhu walked over from a distance. He had an air of refinement about him and looked like a middle-aged man, but he was actually over a thousand years old.
"Master!"
Upon seeing this person, Ji Hongyi slightly bowed.
Chen Ning and the others also bowed in greeting.
The person before them was one of the two people with the highest status below the Light God Clan Leader.
He is also one of the three Saint Venerable of the Light God Clan.
An existence that rivals the Saint Venerable Qitian.
He is an absolute big shot in the entire Vast Land.
After all.
The most powerful beings at the Saint Venerable Realm are often those who rule over a region of the God Clan.
Only giants like the Eight Great God Clans have three Saint Venerable presiding over them.
At this moment, the important figure turned his gaze to Chen Ning.
