Eternal Heavenly Emperor

"Indomitable spirit!" Fu Xue murmured.

"Who is she?" Chu Hao asked casually.

"Huo Jiang's lackey, with some murky relationships," Fu Xue said disdainfully.

Chu Hao suddenly realized that when he had had conflicts with Huo Jiang, the latter was too young and thus merely arrogant and overbearing. However, as he aged, debauchery became Huo Jiang's pursuit.

With the full support of a War Emperor ancestor, Huo Jiang, the spoiled second-generation, naturally acted as a local tyrant. Consequently, the sect was naturally not short of women who fawned over power. This woman was one of them.

"Yo, having a secret rendezvous with some wild man here!" The woman, twisting her slender waist and with a face full of scorn, said, "I thought you were some pure jade-like lady, but turns out you're also a flirt. In this broad daylight and open air, with one man and five women, not only are you engaging in wild combat, but there are also so many fighting over a single stick. Don't you find that shameful?"

This remark enraged Su Wanyue and the other ladies, only Yun Cai widened her eyes, completely missing the underlying insinuations. In her view, wild combat seemed quite fun, but even together they were no match for Chu Hao, which was annoying.

"Gu Yufen, haven't you said enough?" Fu Xue coldly said, having advanced to a War General, her shout and glare still carried immense authority, causing the woman to stop in her tracks.

But the woman, named Gu Yufen, instantly snapped back to her usual self, holding up her orchid fingers, coquettishly said, "Yo, touched a nerve, did I? Angry because I spoke the truth? Dare to do it yet afraid of being talked about, really playing the saint but acting the slut, don't know the meaning of 'shame'."

Slap!

Fu Xue was a Female Tyrannosaurus, and though now reduced to doing menial tasks, her temper surged uncontrollably and she instantly slapped Gu Yufen, spinning her around seven or eight times on the spot.

She held her face, disbelieving, and said, "You... you dare to hit me?"

"So what if I did?" Fu Xue snorted, if not for Huo Jiang wearing a defense treasure, in her rage, she would even dare to kill him.

"Just you wait, I'm going to tell Young Master Huo, and you'll see!" Gu Yufen, merely a beginner Warrior, could not contend with Fu Xue. Dropping a parting shot, she immediately turned and left.

Fu Xue suddenly revealed a murderous intent, but still held back and said, "Chu Hao, you guys quick, leave now, it'll be troublesome when Huo Jiang arrives." She had wanted to kill Gu Yufen to protect Chu Hao's secret, but firstly, Gu Yufen hadn't recognized Chu Hao, and secondly, she merely detested Gu Yufen, not to the extent of wishing her dead.

Chu Hao smiled and said, "No worries, let her call Huo Jiang over; it would save me some trouble."

First, kill Huo Jiang, then War Emperor Kong Ming would surely jump out directly; he'd give that old dog a beating and kill him, mission accomplished. By then, with four War Emperors from Spiritual Spring Sect restoring order and his support, with his current renowned reputation, who would dare harm the Spiritual Spring Sect?

Fu Xue was in panic, if Huo Jiang encountered Chu Hao, things would escalate greatly. She regretted not killing Gu Yufen on the spot earlier.

Whoo!

At that moment, a horn sounded, reverberating across the entire mountain.

Chu Hao and Yun Cai, both former disciples of the Spiritual Spring Sect, immediately reacted—outsiders had intruded the gate, and were so powerful that the gate-keeping disciples had to sound the horn, signaling everyone to come out and face the enemy.

"Snowy Plains Sect!" Fu Xue immediately said, "Now every few months, they come to challenge us, getting more and more arrogant! But this time, it's just right. Chu Hao, you guys can take this chance to leave."

Chu Hao, however, smiled and said, "Let's go see what's happening; I want to see just how arrogant Snowy Plains Sect is and how weak Spiritual Spring Sect has become now."

Fu Xue rolled her eyes. You're a wanted person by Spiritual Spring Sect, and here you are, still in the mood to watch the fun, she thought, not knowing what to say about him.

Su Wanyue and the other ladies showed no concern, pulling Fu Xue along, and they all headed toward the base of the mountain.

They were not the first to arrive at the base of the mountain; by now, five or six hundred disciples of Spiritual Spring Sect had gathered at the gate, facing just ten invaders. However, the leader was a War Emperor whom Chu Hao had never seen before.

Behind him were nine young men, each prominent and extraordinary, none weaker than the original Yue Feng. The strongest among them had already stepped into the War King tier, radiating a formidable aura.

Chu Hao scanned them and frowned, saying, "Can't Spiritual Spring Sect produce a single decent young expert now?"

Originally, apart from Yue Feng, there were also Duan Jing, Bao Wen, and other young talents, but now, the strongest he saw was merely a Warrior, far inferior to Snowy Plains Sect, while Huo Jiang, Han Zongxin, and others simply turned into turtles hiding their heads.

"Sigh, with Huo Jiang messing around like that, who would want to stay in the sect and be suppressed? They all left early," Fu Xue shook her head, they were far enough away, and with everyone's attention on the people from Snowy Plains Sect, they had not been noticed.

Chu Hao also sighed. War Emperor Kong Ming was getting more senile with age, sacrificing the Spiritual Spring Sect for his only descendant. What face would he have to meet his ancestors after his death?

"Fellow brothers and sisters of Spiritual Spring Sect, is there anyone willing to come out for a friendly bout?" a disciple from the original Snow sect started taunting.

"Hehe, we come here every few months, and we've never met a decent opponent. It's really disappointing."

"Is this worthy of being called an Emperor-level power of Cang State? Better to close the gates and stop practicing martial arts. Go farm instead."

"Hahaha, truly a bunch of garbage; I can beat everyone here with just one hand."

Their voices became increasingly unpleasant, without any restraint.

Everyone knew that War Emperor Kong Ming's days were numbered, so he used all means possible to prolong his life, just to support Huo Jiang. Thus, as long as Huo Jiang wasn't threatened, War Emperor Kong Ming would never intervene.

The reason why Spirit Spring Sect hadn't been flattened was because Huo Jiang was still enamored with the power it offered him, and the War Emperor from Snowy Plains Sect didn't want to engage in a mutually destructive fight with War Emperor Kong Ming. Therefore, they only sent people to challenge them, and as long as Spirit Spring Sect couldn't recruit new disciples, this power would eventually fade away.

The disciples of Spirit Spring Sect were trembling with anger, but what could they do when their sect was turned into a place filled with chaos by Huo Jiang, who chased away talented disciples, persecuted some, and the rest left angrily.

An Emperor-level power, yet nearly lacking in young talents at the tiers of War General and War King, was frankly laughable!

It's well-known that martial arts are rapidly recovering nowadays. Among the younger generation, not to mention War Kings, there are many War Venerates. And it's said that the Alien Race has even produced young War Emperors, which is frightening.

Compared to them, Spirit Spring Sect truly feels hopeless.

"If Senior Brother Chu were still here, would you dare to come and provoke us?" a disciple from Spirit Spring Sect couldn't help saying.

"Senior Brother Chu? Could it be Chu Hao?" The disciples from Snowy Plains Sect laughed loudly, "How come we heard that Chu Hao was driven away by your own people? Haha, it's said that Chu Hao is now the top individual of the Human Race in War God Academy, tsk tsk tsk, I really don't know what kind of eyes you have, to actually drive away a rare genius."

"To speak from this point, Spirit Spring Sect is impressive indeed, to actually reject such a disciple."

"Admire! Admire!"

The disciples from Snowy Plains Sect were giggling, seemingly praising Chu Hao, but in reality, they were rubbing salt in the wounds of Spirit Spring Sect.

This caused many disciples of Spirit Spring Sect to be at a loss for words, feeling immense heartache, as a peerless genius was driven away, and the culprit still rampaged within their sect, truly disheartening.

"These words aren't wrong at all," Gu Qingcheng nodded, "Let's just leave. What's there to care about such a crappy sect? Hao, you are now the head of the He Family, and could easily dispatch a squad of War Emperors. Why bother with such a minor sect?"

Although Su Wanyue didn't speak, she also showed a look of agreement, thinking of the unfair treatment Chu Hao received here, she couldn't wait to erase it single-handedly.

Chu Hao smiled and said, "The things I'm owed, of course, I have to reclaim. But not everyone here is evil; there are many who have helped me. You shouldn't consider everyone here as bad just because of a few scoundrels."

"Hmph!" Gu Qingcheng pouted, still very upset.

"Trash of Spirit Spring Sect, are you going to remain so pathetic?" the people from Snowy Plains Sect continued to provoke.

"Nonsense, let me take you on!" Finally, someone with hot blood rushed out. A Third Tier Warrior in Spirit Spring Sect was considered not bad, but in front of these people from Snowy Plains Sect, he was inadequate.

"Haha, to deal with you, I only need one finger," said the Young Man in Blue.

"Ah!" The young Warrior from Spirit Spring Sect rushed forward, but indeed, with just a flick of his finger, the opponent inflicted severe injuries on him, making him retreat while continuously spitting blood.

"Any other trash want to suffer?" the Young Man in Blue laughed wildly, "This is what happens when you are trash from Spirit Spring Sect. You have no future here; you'll just keep getting slapped in the face! Even if you leave, you can't hold your head high because the sect you come from is garbage!"

Some disciples from Spirit Spring Sect were furious, others displayed looks of disappointment. Indeed, Spirit Spring Sect was deeply troubled; staying here meant carefully not offending Huo Jiang and his cronies, and if they ran away, they would be despised by other sects. What was the point of staying in such a sect?

Brave individuals kept stepping forward, challenging the Young Man in Blue, but each one was defeated with a single finger, shaking the spirits of many.

The people from Snowy Plains Sect all showed cold smiles, knowing that after today, many more disciples from Spirit Spring Sect would quietly leave the sect.

Spirit Spring Sect wasn't without older experts, but could they intervene under these circumstances? Even if they did intervene, the opponent had a War Emperor at hand! And the four War Emperors of Spirit Spring Sect had long been frustrated into inaction.

Would the legacy of Spirit Spring Sect, accumulated over thousands of years, really decay just like this?

Chu Hao smiled faintly and said to the ladies, "It's time for this hero to make a splendid entrance. First, to drive out the Snowspring Sect, then to blast away Huo Jiang, hang out old man Kong Ming, and finish perfectly!"

"Go ahead!" Su Wanyue, Gu Qingcheng, and Yun Cai all said, while Fu Xue was so anxious that she was hopping.

Chu Hao walked with large strides, appearing slow, but within a few steps, he had approached and said, "Don't talk too big, let me see how impressive Snowy Plains Sect really is." (To be continued.
