Asura Emperor Venerable

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Does the Real Culprit Appear?

Shi Hao’s gaze swept over, his voice indifferent, “Feel aggrieved? Feel humiliated?”

The members of the Murong Family did not respond, but their expressions clearly nodded in agreement.

After all, they were one of the top noble families in County Town, equal only to the Chu Family and two other great families. How formidable and domineering were they?

Yet now, having had so many of their own killed by a young man, they had to request politely that he leave. Wasn’t this a tremendous shame and humiliation?

But what could they do when the young man was from the Martial Sect?

They couldn’t defeat him now, and even less so in the future, so they didn’t even dare to harbor thoughts of revenge.

Wasn’t this an even greater humiliation?

Shi Hao shook his head, “But do you think I’m going to let this go?”

What, you’re still not willing to let it go!

The members of the Murong Family showed their fury at once, to hell with it, and perish together with you then.

Shi Hao ignored them, continuing, “The mastermind behind the kidnapping must die! Those who injured the fatty must die! Moreover, the fatty shouldn’t have been hurt for nothing, you must compensate.”

Damn it all!

The members of the Murong Family were about to pass out from anger. Oh, so your man got hurt and needs compensation, what about them?

How many of their people had died?

“What, not convinced?” Shi Hao smiled faintly, “This is what you deserve! If you hadn’t provoked me, would I have bothered with you?”

At this… the people from the Murong Family were rendered speechless.

Indeed, who made them kidnap Liu Mang first?

However, some people knew “the truth,” such as Murong Qing, who couldn’t help but stand up and say, “It was you who killed my brother first!”

What, this man is the murderer who killed Murong Hai?

All at once, the people from the Murong Family became angry again, you committed murder first, what’s wrong with us targeting you afterward?

Shi Hao chuckled sarcastically, “Murong Hai, that kind of trash, was worth me losing sleep over to sneak up on him in the middle of the night?”

At this, the members of the Murong Family were once again at a loss for words.

Indeed, look how domineering Shi Hao is, storming into their mansion blatantly and killing on a whim.

Would such a person sneak around to kill in the middle of the night?

Challenged by his retort, Murong Qing was suddenly stunned, unable to respond.

Previously, although Shi Hao had expressed the same, their impression of him had still been that of a “mid-level martial master,” and certainly, Shi Hao wouldn’t dare confront the Murong Family head-on. The theory of a stealthy murder was plausible.

But now… there was no reason for Shi Hao to go through such a roundabout way.

It must be a misunderstanding.

The murderer was not Shi Hao.

Now, the members of the Murong Family were regretting so hard their guts turned green; because of a misunderstanding, they had lost so many of their clan members, suffered such great humiliation, and had offended an extremely likely future Martial Venerable.

Oh heavens, how could they bear such a burden.

“Hurry up. If you don’t give me a satisfactory answer, I’ll start killing again,” Shi Hao said coolly.

He didn’t have time to waste with these people.

Seeming to exhale deeply, Murong Yufan said, “I was the one who ordered the kidnapping. I will give you an answer. Also, whoever carried out the execution just now, step forward and take your own life. Do not drag down the family! In addition, let’s compensate this gentleman with a hundred thousand Silver, shall we?”

Shi Hao looked towards the fatty, as he was the actual victim.

Fatty nodded, “Enough.”

His face full of shock, only now did he realize that Shi Hao had thoroughly overwhelmed the Murong Family, making them all bow their heads.

Fucking awesome!

He certainly knew how powerful the Murong Family was, yet his little friend had suppressed them with his own strength, which made his scalp tingle with excitement.

“Fine,” Shi Hao nodded, “The principal culprit has been punished, and with that, this matter is considered settled.”

Murong Yufan revealed a hint of reluctance, but then suddenly struck out with his palm, slap, hitting his own forehead. The force of an advanced martial master erupted, instantly crushing his head.

“Family head!” Every member of the Murong Family couldn’t help but cry out in shock, their faces showing both sorrow and anger.

Their family head being forced into suicide was an indelible disgrace.

They secretly vowed that if a genius emerged from their clan, they would devote the entire clan’s resources to cultivating them, so that one day they could take their revenge on Shi Hao.

The person who had tortured the fatty also clenched his teeth and stood up, drew his sword across his neck, slap, and fell to the ground, blood spattering five paces.

What added to the Murong Family’s humiliation was that, despite the two suicides, they still had to present a silver note worth a hundred thousand taels, handing it over to the fatty.

After this blow, the Murong Family not only suffered a significant loss of strength but also completely lost face. For a long time to come, they would need to act low-key to recover their Vital Energy and accumulate strength to make a comeback.

Shi Hao kept his promise and left with the fatty.

On the way, the fatty naturally learned of the whole affair and could not help but proclaim his innocence.

“Don’t let me find out who the murderer is, or this young master will definitely beat him until he calls me grandpa!” the fatty howled.

Slap, a small stone flew over, hitting the fatty precisely on the knee, causing his leg to buckle immediately, and he knelt down on one leg.

“Hmph!”

Shi Hao instantly soared into the air, darting toward the origin of the stone. Bursting forth with the power of over eighty thousand pounds, his speed was astonishing, and not even several meters tall walls could stop him. With a powerful leap, he jumped right over them.

He saw a figure in the distance, swiftly vaulting away.

Such a coincidence—it was just as the fatty was cursing the real culprit that he was struck by a flying stone and forced to kneel, leading Shi Hao to suspect this person was the murderer.

He had no feud with this real culprit and didn’t care that they had killed Murong Hai—although it had led to a misunderstanding, it was an issue within the Murong Family and unrelated to the real culprit.

But the fact that the real culprit had attacked the fatty made it his business. @@novelbin@@

He pursued, but the figure always managed to maintain a constant distance from Shi Hao, never getting too far to be lost, nor close enough to be caught.

Shi Hao could see clearly now, the person was shrouded in loose-fitting black clothes, obviously intended to conceal their figure. But the brisk running inevitably caused a gust of wind.

That made the clothes stick close to the body, and the figure underneath was still not completely concealed.

It was a woman!

Shi Hao could be sure because her chest was distinctly prominent, and it was unusually high and large.

The woman, as if sensing Shi Hao’s gaze, suddenly accelerated. In a few moments, she had vanished without a trace.

Such incredible speed!

Shi Hao stopped in his tracks, deep in thought.

This woman, she must be the real culprit.

But why would she appear here?

Was it because she knew the fatty had been kidnapped and felt guilty for implicating them, so she came to rescue him, only to find that he had already been saved, thus she did not reveal herself? Instead, hearing the fatty’s complaints, she couldn’t help but strike out.

Interesting.

She even deliberately tested her speed against him. If he hadn’t been caught staring at her chest, she would probably have continued.

What was she doing, toying with him?

Had she nothing better to do?

Shi Hao reasoned that this woman likely bore them no ill-will, but he was not one to be played and remain indifferent. So the next time they met, he would definitely “retaliate.”

The problem was, this woman was truly extraordinary, as could be deduced from her speed alone. With such skill, why did she need to strike in secret in the middle of the night to kill Murong Hai?

Could it be that she could not afford to have her identity exposed?
