Asura Emperor Venerable

Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Sending Heads Thousands of Miles Away

The disciple from the White Cloud Sect was named Han Tao.

He did not disguise his identity but directly sought an audience under the name “Disciple Han Tao of the White Cloud Sect.”

Shi Hao thought for a moment and then had someone invite him in.

“I have seen the Patriot Duke,” Han Tao greeted Shi Hao with a cupped-hand salute, but his face bore an air of arrogance, clearly not holding Shi Hao in high regard.

It was understandable, after all, the White Cloud Sect boasted of masters from the Other Shore realm, and a mere Martial Venerable, just a step into Soul Nurturing, was hardly enough to inspire awe in him.

“Speak, what is it you want?” Shi Hao asked directly, having no patience for idle chatter.

Han Tao smiled, “Since the Patriot Duke is so straightforward, I’ll get straight to the point as well.”

But he paused for a moment, “I have been sent by the sect to investigate the disappearance of Liu Yixiao.”

Having said that, he looked at Shi Hao as if expecting him to understand.@@novelbin@@

Shi Hao sighed, “Don’t play tricks in front of me!”

This arrogant fool!

Han Tao restrained himself, then said, “I have already found out clearly, Liu Yixiao died by your hand, and even many descendants of the Eleventh Elder died by your hand as well.”

Hm?

Snap—Shi Hao’s hand moved, and in a swift slap,

Han Tao was just a Primary Level Martial Sect, having only broken through seven extremes, how could he possibly dodge?

A crisp sound resonated, reverberating around the beams.

Han Tao was stunned, touching his cheek, his expression one of disbelief.

He had actually been slapped?

A disciple of the great White Cloud Sect, actually slapped in this mundane land?

He was truly dazed by the blow.

Then, he burst into rage, shouting, “You’ve got some nerve, daring to slap me?”

Shi Hao revealed a hint of murderous intent, “Waste any more of my time, and I will kill you!”

Han Tao shivered inwardly, thinking of Liu Yixiao’s fate, his anger receded as fast as a tide.

He suppressed his impulse and said, “Just wait until I report your actions back to the sect, you won’t escape death! Unless, you hand over the Secret Treasure you obtained, and share it with me!”

This time, he didn’t dare to hesitate or speak in half-truths.

Seeing Shi Hao’s astonished look, he hastily added, “Don’t say that it was entirely your own effort that got you to such heights, I don’t believe it! You must have received the legacy of some unrivaled master, which is why you have advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching your current level in just over a year.”

Shi Hao laughed, “Then you don’t think, I should just kill you right now, to keep you quiet?”

Han Tao also laughed, “I’m not that stupid! Although I came here alone, I have already written all the information in a secret letter. If I don’t return within two hours, the cage holding the carrier pigeon will open automatically. At most half a month from now, the sect will know everything about your actions!”

“So, if I share that so-called legacy with you, you won’t send out this secret letter?” Shi Hao continued along his line of reasoning.

“Exactly,” Han Tao nodded, “Such a unique legacy, I believe even the experts in the sect would covet it, so since I have it, I’ll be in the same boat as you, only helping you hide it.”

He was quite certain, believing that Shi Hao would definitely compromise.

What could be more important than one’s own life?

“Let me remind you, the White Cloud Sect not only has nearly a hundred Soul Nurturing experts, but also several masters from the Other Shore Realm!” Han Tao arrogantly stated, “Just any one of them could blow you to smithereens!”

Shi Hao curiously said, “Cultivation requires a Spirit Root, do you think you’re that lucky? If you don’t have a Spirit Root, even if you had an unrivaled legacy, it would be like an eunuch visiting a brothel.”

Nima, is that how you make a comparison?

You’re the eunuch!

Extremely displeased in his heart, Han Tao, first because Shi Hao was stronger than him, and second because he indeed needed something, could only try his best to persuade Shi Hao.

He snorted, “So, you just happen to be so lucky to have a Spirit Root? Therefore, I believe there must be a way to bypass the step of having a Spirit Root!”

Shi Hao smiled, “You are quite clever.”

Han Tao felt proud inside and said, “I believe you are also a smart person and will make the right choice.”

Shi Hao shook his head, “Unfortunately, I am not someone who yields to threats.”

What!

Han Tao was taken aback and hastily said, “Don’t be rash! I’ve already told you, if you kill me, your actions will be known by the powerful members of the sect, and you will definitely not survive!”

Shi Hao smiled and asked, “Is there a portrait of me in your secret letter?”

“No,” Han Tao shook his head instinctively.

“Then, if I just change my name, how will the White Cloud Sect find me?” Shi Hao said.

You idiot!

You are already at Martial Venerable level, who doesn’t know of your existence in this world?

Change name and identity?

Can you really change it?

“You don’t need to worry about that,” Shi Hao laughed, “Also, thank you for coming all this way to deliver a head.”

“No!” Han Tao finally realized that Shi Hao was not joking and quickly turned to run.

Bang!

Shi Hao did not chase; he just threw a punch in the air, sending out a Dark Force with a force of a million pounds, immediately blowing Han Tao apart.

“Threatening me was your biggest mistake.”

Shi Hao will never accept threats!

“However, I won’t be staying in Hua Yuan Nation long; it’s time to change my identity and infiltrate the White Cloud Sect.”

He still had some time before reaching the Peak, just enough time to blend into the White Cloud Sect.

He wanted to know how to go from Breaking the Extreme to Soul Nurturing.

For that, only the White Cloud Sect would suffice.

What would happen to the people from the Martial Venerate Mansion after he left?

Shi Hao had brought them out; he couldn’t just throw them into the fire, could he?

“It’s unexpected that people from the White Cloud Sect came so quickly; now, there’s no choice but to let Wu Shibai and the others return. They can follow Chu Fei for a while, and as long as I’m alive for one more day, Chu Fei will have to think about maintaining Wu Shibai and the others.”

“Hmm, let the Fatty go along as well.”

“This time, I will go to the White Cloud Sect alone.”

Shi Hao had originally planned to expand his influence in the Imperial Capital to unravel the mystery of his origin, but now, with probably only half a month’s time left, it was too late.

The next day, Shi Hao began to lay out his plans.

The Fatty wasn’t stubborn, and knew he had to accompany Shi Hao, understanding that Shi Hao’s journey to the White Cloud Sect would be dangerous. One more person would surely be a burden to Shi Hao.

So, he nodded, “Stone, don’t worry, I will investigate your origins.”

Originally, Shi Hao was picked up in Mengyang City, so there was a high chance his biological parents might be from the Sea King Territory. Going to seek refuge with Chu Fei was thus perfect.

Although Wu Shibai and the others didn’t understand why they had to leave as soon as they arrived, since it was Shi Hao who said it, and his brother was accompanying them, they naturally didn’t suspect anything.

After just two days, they set off.

Just then, a foreign diplomatic delegation suddenly arrived.
