Chapter 519
C519 – The System’s Upgrade Was Successful but He Was Kicked for No Reason
Time had stretched on interminably, and Jiang Hao was beginning to think he’d be forever trapped in the nascent Underworld. Then, out of nowhere, a mechanical, synthesized voice broke the silence.
”Ding! System upgrade successful!”
Before Jiang Hao could even revel in the announcement, darkness enveloped him. When he next opened his eyes, he found himself at the base of the Great Desolate Mountain. The entire ordeal seemed like nothing more than an extraordinary dream.
Confused, Jiang Hao struggled to make sense of what had just happened. Suddenly, voices pierced the quiet.
He was quickly encircled by four figures. An old Daoist with a flowing beard demanded,
“What are you?”
“Have you acquired the treasure that channels the Yin Qi here?”
A young man with a long sword and an icy demeanor chimed in,
“Give up the treasure, and your life will be spared.”
Meanwhile, a middle-aged man in a distinctive uniform, all smiles, introduced himself,
“Young friend, I’m the team leader of Dragon Group’s sixth squad. I have a few questions for you. Your cooperation is appreciated!”
A beautiful woman with a seductive gaze fixed on Jiang Hao cooed reassuringly,
“Little brother, don’t be scared. Come to sister, and I’ll keep you safe.”
But the middle-aged man in uniform interjected with a friendly warning,
“Comrade, don’t let her charm deceive you!”
His words instantly infuriated the woman, who shot back at him,
“Yang Zijian, don’t think for a second that I’m afraid to take action!”
……
After observing for what felt like an eternity, Jiang Hao pieced it all together.
These four were just like him, drawn here by the immense, tumultuous Yin Qi.
Yet, they had failed to locate its source—the newly formed Gates of Hell.
They mistook it for some celestial treasure.@@novelbin@@
The Yin Qi within the Great Desolate Mountain was overwhelmingly thick, and they dared not linger, so they had retreated.
But their reluctance to leave without the prize kept them waiting at the mountain’s base, hoping for the Yin Qi to disperse or for the treasure to reveal itself.
In the end, as Jiang Hao was ejected from the Underworld, he landed here, and with his arrival, the Yin Qi that once roiled the heavens and earth finally settled.
Moreover, the convergence of sinister energy within the Great Desolate Mountain had abruptly ceased.
It was precisely at that moment that Jiang Hao’s unexpected arrival caught their attention.
Consequently, they assumed he had come into possession of a treasure from the Great Desolate Mountain—a treasure capable of amassing such vast amounts of Yin Qi.
These four individuals were not only acquainted with each other but also had a deep understanding of one another, which led to a significant mutual wariness.
This was the reason for the current standoff.
However, Jiang Hao was feeling particularly exasperated and had no interest in engaging in their games.
His primary concern was the possibility of being expelled. Without his intervention, he feared the Reincarnation Disk of Six Tao might collapse, potentially triggering the downfall of the entire Underworld.
If that were to happen, he would bear an enormous guilt!
Yet, at that very moment, the four of them had the audacity to block his path, incessantly provoking him.
Jiang Hao’s anger surged.
With a cold glance, he issued a stern command.
“Get out of my way, all of you!”
His words instantly cast a shadow over the other four men’s expressions.
Who did they think they were? No one had ever dared to address them with such disdain.
And now, a mere captive dared to be so insolent.
The Daoist priest’s face was overcast as he declared with utmost seriousness,
“Young acolyte, simply relinquish the demonic item, and this humble Daoist will grant you passage. I shall not hinder you one step further!”
The sword-bearing youth fixed his icy gaze on Jiang Hao and said with a chilling tone,
“Insect! You’re oblivious to the peril you’re in!”
