Asura Emperor Venerable

Shi Hao returned to the inn, prepared for the possibility that the Qian Family might take action at any time.

He still had one Iron Soldier Talisman and four Godspeed Talismans, more than enough to deal with the Silver Spirit Immortal.

However, if the Qian Family were to mobilize the elder from the Taibai Sect, he would definitely have to hide in the Immortal Abode.

"Right, I still have one chance to borrow power," Shi Hao murmured. With his current combat power, if Yue Ying boosted his strength a little, he could definitely reach the combat power of a Golden Immortal without causing his body to explode afterward.

"Sorry, there's no power to lend," Yue Ying's voice rang out, cold and unfeeling.

"What do you mean there's no power to lend?" Shi Hao questioned, dismayed. You can't play like this, I even considered you my secret weapon.

"This is the Immortal Realm. If I lend you power, it will certainly alert the Immortal King," Yue Ying said. "Moreover, if an Immortal Venerable happens to have left his Divine Sense here, it would even alarm an entity of that level. Do you want to invite such trouble?"

Frustrated!

Shi Hao sighed. Given that, this Arrogant Spirit Tool was unreliable.

"What use are you then?" he couldn't help but retort.

"You'll know when you step into the realm of the Immortal King," Yue Ying maintained her high hands-off stance.

Damn, the Immortal King?

Shi Hao was astonished. Just what level of existence was Yue Ying?

Could it be that she was a tool refined by an Immortal Venerable?

Otherwise, would an Immortal Venerable be interested in a tool refined by an Immortal King?

He then went to Raw Stone Street, but as soon as he entered one shop, the shopkeeper immediately offered him a thousand Immortal Stones, politely requesting him to leave. If Shi Hao refused, the shopkeeper would announce a temporary closure.

In short, they absolutely couldn't let Shi Hao choose raw stones, otherwise, who else would bother playing? Who else would buy the raw stones?

Makes the rounds, Shi Hao encountered obstacles everywhere, even the Zhao Family's Raw Stone Shop didn't welcome him, politely but firmly refusing him.

Forget it, can't make a living in this city.

Shi Hao decided that in the future, he'd have to be low-key, never revealing the raw stones in public and never offering help again.

You see, now karma has come around.

Alas!

Just as Shi Hao was about to leave, someone came to visit him.

A young man, yet full of arrogance.

"I'm Zhao Shanyun," the young man introduced himself, his face lit up with pride as if his surname was something to be proud of, "from the Zhao Family!"

He emphasized.

No wonder he was so arrogant.

Shi Hao naturally didn't care for him, casually asking, "What do you want?"

What's with that attitude?

Zhao Shanyun showed a trace of dissatisfaction, but held it back and said, "I heard you've been threatened by the Qian Family? Don't be afraid, as long as you work for our Zhao Family, I guarantee that the Qian Family won't dare to harm a hair on your head!"

Isn't this just exploiting the situation?

If Shi Hao was afraid of trouble, wouldn't he have just agreed to the Qian Family's terms and been fine?

And besides, wasn't the root cause of the conflict with the Qian Family because of the Zhao Family in the first place?

Now, they come running to exploit the situation?

Smack!

Shi Hao raised his hand and delivered a resounding slap to Zhao Shanyun.

Zhao Shanyun was first taken aback, then enraged, dumbfounded and beyond belief.

He was a five-star Copper Armored Immortal, slapped by a two-star Copper Armored Immortal? And he hadn't even seen how the other had struck.

What a huge gap in strength?

But then he was furious.

He was a direct descendant of the Zhao Family, and he got hit, hit in the face!

"You see, you can't even protect yourself, yet you say the Qian Family won't harm a hair on me," Shi Hao shrugged, as if to say, I was just proving a point, didn't mean to actually hit you.

Zhao Shanyun was so infuriated, yet for a moment, he didn't know how to rebut.

Although the reasoning was absurd, it seemed to have a point.

After a while, he said, "I can't protect you, but the Zhao Family can!"

Smack, Shi Hao landed another slap.

Zhao Shanyun spun around several times, and when he stopped, he was still bewildered, saying, "Why did you hit me again?"

"You see, I've hit you twice now, where's your Zhao Family's experts?" Shi Hao questioned, his momentum overwhelming.

Zhao Shanyun was at a loss for words, indeed, where were the Zhao Family experts?

Hold on, that's not right!

"You haven't agreed to join my Zhao Family, how could the Zhao Family experts possibly intervene?" He realized.

"I see!" Shi Hao shook his head, "Forget it, go back; I, Master Sanshi, will not submit to any faction."

"You don't pay respect——Oh!" Zhao Shanyun was about to issue a threat, but suddenly realized he would be walking away having been slapped twice for nothing.

"You're going too far!" he shouted angrily.

Smack!

Shi Hao delivered another slap: "And you think exploiting the situation isn't excessive? I helped you out a lot, and this is how you repay me?"

Zhao Shanyun was dumbstruck by the slap, realizing Shi Hao was even more arrogant than him.

Except his arrogance came from the backing of the Zhao Family, whereas Shi Hao's power came from himself.

The more he threatened, the more it triggered Shi Hao's aversion, bringing him suffering.

So, forget it.

He decided to return and report Shi Hao's words to the family elders, adding fuel to the fire, determined to make Shi Hao pay the most severe price.

How dare he slap him!

"Little Stone, we should leave," Purple Gold Rat said.

Shi Hao nodded, now was definitely not the time to confront the Silver Spirit Immortal head-on, particularly when the opposition had the backing of a Golden Immortal.

He left straight for the teleportation arrays.

However, just as he stepped out of the inn, he saw Qian Heng.

The Silver Spirit Immortal looked at him coldly, as if he were already dead.

If he can't be used by me, then let him die.

Besides, Shi Hao still had the Blood Shadow Heavenly Jade on him, something even Golden Immortals would covet. The Qian Family naturally wouldn't miss out and had to strike early, lest other elders of the Taibai Sect interfere.

Shi Hao smiled slightly: "Old Qian, are you inviting me to dinner again?"

Dinner my ass!

Qian Heng had always looked down upon others, with his Silver Spirit Immortal cultivation, he could tower above any Copper Armored Immortal, yet Shi Hao's simple remark reminded him of the terror of being "dominated" by Shi Hao a few days ago.

To this day, he still had a strong psychological shadow.

"Die!" He couldn't hold back anymore, deciding to personally eliminate this mental devil.

"Haha, Brother Qian Heng, what is your cultivation, attacking a Copper Armored Immortal, don't you feel embarrassed for bullying the weak?" a voice suddenly said, with someone stepping in to block Qian Heng's attack.

Boom!

The shockwave spread out, even though both Immortals controlled their power individually, and the city was enhanced with formations by a Golden Immortal to absorb shockwaves, a nearby street's buildings were still obliterated.

No help, these buildings, being so ordinary, could barely withstand any released power and faced devastating destruction.

Luckily, there were formations; otherwise, the entire Xuanbai City might have been destroyed.
