<h4>Chapter 854: Chapter 856: Unspeakable Secrets</h4>
Chu Ge raised his hand, effortlessly moving all the branches aside.
Feeling a bit annoyed, Chu Ge said, "What exactly is this ck Widow up to? Why ce these branches here?"
Jian Chunqiu shook his head slightly, remaining silent, also finding the situation somewhat strange.
After a moment, he seemed to realize something and suddenly pped his hands, "Not good!"
Chu Ge looked at him suspiciously, puzzled, asking, "What’s wrong?"
"These branches ced here seem useless, but if we move them, we inadvertently use True Qi, which then triggers a mechanism here."
This is the actual purpose of cing these branches here.
Chu Ge widened his eyes at Jian Chunqiu. If what he said is true, then hasn’t he just triggered the mechanism?
But since he triggered the mechanism, why haven’t they noticed any changes around them yet?
While Chu Ge was contemting, he suddenly felt changes in the surroundings; the flow of air was gradually speeding up.
He even faintly heard a familiar sound.
Chu Ge focused his gaze ahead, "Looks like the mechanism refers to these bats."
Just as he spoke, numerous ck bats flew out rapidly from the cave, directly towards Chu Ge and Jian Chunqiu without any hesitation.
Jian Chunqiu and Chu Ge quickly reacted, each dodging to avoid the bats’ attack.
Now, it was just the two of them, in a ce within a hundred miles without any households, so Chu Ge didn’t have to worry about anything.
He directly used energy in his palm, knocking the bats to the ground.
But there were too many bats; after defeating one batch, another emerged, like an endless pit.
"Uncle Jian, this can’t go on; we can’t stay here fighting these bats forever."
Jian Chunqiu agreed with Chu Ge, even starting to suspect that ck Widow enticing them here might have other schemes.
However, Jian Chunqiu was overthinking it.
Because the ck Widow was standing midway up the mountain, her alluring figure seated there, eyes with gentle ripples.
"Tsk tsk, no matter how skilled or powerful a martial artist is, they still can’t withstand these bats’ attacks."
A person in a ck robe chuckled as he approached, ttering, "Sect Hierarch is right. Although these bats’ attack power isn’t as strong as humans’, their sheer numbers mean even one bite is enough to bring someone down."
The ck Widow scoffed contemptuously, "Of course, I know that. Do I need you to tell me?"
The person, recognizing the situation, retreated a step, realizing his ttery had fallen t.
"Alright, add more ingredients to them; these bats are merely appetizers."
The ck Widow instructed.
"Yes."
After that person left, someone in a kimono stepped forward and asked, "ck Widow, what exactly are you trying to do? Is it simply to toy with them?"
Their aim wasn’t just to toy; their goal was to take Chu Ge’s life!
The ck Widow sneered, casting a nce at them, faintly speaking, "Why are you in such a hurry? The best part is yet toe. These two are Ancient Martial Arts masters. Wouldn’t you want to convert all the power within them to yourself?"
The person paused, puzzled, asking, "What do you mean by that?"
What does it mean to convert their power to yours?
The ck Widow chuckled softly, "In this world, there’s a martial art called the Star Shifting Technique, which can absorb a person’s True Qi and martial arts into oneself."
A sh of light crossed the person’s eyes, "You mean to absorb their martial arts?"
The ck Widow nodded, noting that even without considering Chu Ge’s martial arts, Jian Chunqiu’s martial arts alone were enough to make her prominent in the world of martial arts.
Jian Chunqiu was a Divine Communication Mirror, his martial arts unfathomable, making her covet for a long time.
Meanwhile, below the mountain, Jian Chunqiu and Chu Ge noticed that though the bats were gradually decreasing, new problems were emerging: numerous snakes suddenly appeared, seemingly guided, crawling towards them.
Chu Ge quickly reacted, setting up a barrier around them to keep the bats and snakes out.
Chu Ge nced at Jian Chunqiu, puzzled, asking, "Uncle Jian, this doesn’t seem like ck Widow’s style, does it?"
Jian Chunqiu gently shook his head, suspicion flickering in his heart regarding what ck Widow had been doing these past years in retreat; he couldn’t ascertain. Now partnering with those Shadow Killers, honestly, he was confused about her intentions.
"Regardless of that, we must leave here quickly; dragging this out is useless."
Chu Ge nodded, fully aware of this.
"The ck Widow is surely watching us from somewhere; we must remain cautious."
"Yes."
Chu Ge looked around, finally spotting the ck Widow on the mountainside, pointing, saying, "Uncle Jian, there."
Following his direction, Jian Chunqiu looked and sneered, "Seems she has quite the confidence."
Finished speaking, Jian Chunqiu retracted Chu Ge’s protective shield, simultaneously killing all the surrounding snakes and bats.
The speed was so fast that even Chu Ge couldn’t react.
When Chu Ge managed to react, Jian Chunqiu was already airborne.

Feelingpelled, Chu Ge couldn’t help but sigh; this is the difference between the Innate Grandmaster and Divine Communication Mirror.
Indeed, the gap between him and Jian Chunqiu was still vast.
But now wasn’t the time for him to ponder more. Shaking his head reluctantly, Chu Ge swiftly rose to the sky,
Facing their approach, the ck Widow didn’t find anything wrong, chuckling softly, saying to Jian Chunqiu, "Old friend, we meet again."
Jian Chunqiu sneered softly, "ck Widow, seems these years not only have your martial arts improved, but so has your yful nature."
To think she would use bats and Poison Snakes to trap them.
The ck Widowughed charmingly, murmuring, "Old friend, your imagination is abundant; who said those pets below are for entertainment?"
"What do you mean?"
Chu Ge looked at her suspiciously; he knew there must be some hidden secret.
