Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 267 - Gulang City

Chapter 267: Chapter 267 Gulang City

Chapter 267 -267 Gulang City

“You!” Jian Chen and his three companions couldn’t stand it anymore.

Did they think they were invisible?

Especially since this was An Yuemei.

Although Hong Taihe had never explicitly said it, they all knew that the disciple of cultivation favored An Yuemei and, once the two of them became a couple, even if An Yuemei became the Holy Maiden of the Zhenwu Sect, she couldn’t possibly threaten Hong Taihe’s position.

They would be a couple.

But now, Shi Hao had suddenly appeared midway.

In order to protect Hong Taihe’s interests, they had to resolve this issue.

“Shi Hao, the disciple of cultivation wants to take you as his Follower, and if you continue to spurn the Lord’s kindness,” Meng Li said coldly, “then we won’t be polite.”

An Yuemei immediately turned around, “Just you few dare to threaten Master Shi?”

Who was Shi Hao?

Even four-star Pill Masters must respectfully address him as Master, let alone you few who are merely from the Other Shore Realm shouting at him?

Moreover, Shi Hao had also refined the Seven-Transforming Pill for her and saved her master!

“Scram!” she said icily.

Jian Chen and his three companions were shocked and angry. They hadn’t expected An Yuemei to stand up for Shi Hao. But the problem was, this was An Yuemei. She was only slightly inferior to Hong Taihe, or perhaps even on the same level. How could they provoke her?

However, Shi Hao simply waved his hand, “Don’t interfere.”

An Yuemei was surprised. Although she knew Shi Hao was extraordinary, he was after all only in the soul-nurturing realm. How could he possibly be a match for four from the Other Shore, and moreover, four of them?

But since Shi Hao had spoken, she couldn’t well stop it.

No matter, with her covering the rear, was there really any fear that Shi Hao would be injured?

Jian Chen and the other three all saw that trace of concern in An Yuemei’s eyes, and each of them inwardly cursed, “Cursed couple.”

Shi Hao glanced at the four, beckoning with his finger, “Come on, all of you together.”

Meng Li and his three mates exchanged looks, yet none spoke out to contradict him.

Their strength was even, so if Shi Hao could overpower Jian Chen, he naturally could defeat the other three among them.

Thus, one-on-one, they stood no chance.

But four against one was different, for they had practiced a combined attack technique that could at least double their combat power.

Wouldn’t this ensure a victory?

You’re asking for it.

The four of them silently stepped out, surrounding Shi Hao.

“Kill!”

Four of them struck at once, launching their attacks toward Shi Hao.

Shi Hao smiled, his right foot stamping the ground, and in an instant, the area within two meters of his vicinity was covered in blazing white lightning.

—His limit was five meters in radius, but since these four had already charged within two meters, why waste Soul Power?

“Ah!” Jian Chen and the others all screamed, then tumbled to the ground, their bodies still twitching uncontrollably, resembling fits of epilepsy.

An Yuemei was astonished, her eyes wide.

It was unbelievable. When had Shi Hao’s strength become so formidable?

Shi Hao laughed, the might of the Heavenly Thunder was this terrifying. Once he had the upper hand in strength, no matter the number of people, he could instantly break through their defense and cause huge destruction.

Without such power, why would only the Heavenly Thunder be a method of heavenly punishment? And once one possessed the Thunder Spirit Root, didn’t it grant invincibility at the same level?

It was this domineering.

“Scram!” He delivered four kicks, kicking Jian Chen and the other three out of the courtyard.

——Originally, he had the intent to kill, but now that an ancient relic had suddenly opened, it had changed his mind.

If he killed someone, how could he go with the people of the Zhenwu Sect to the ancient relic?

Outside the door, Jian Chen and three others moaned and groaned for a long time before they slowly got up.

All of their faces were flushed with shame and annoyance.

The four of them together hadn’t even been able to take a single move from Shi Hao.

“Thunder Spirit Root, it’s terrifying indeed!”

“This man must be removed quickly, or else one day he might even threaten the disciple of cultivation!”

“But, none of us are his match!”

“Let’s ask an elder to take action!”

“Right, the Second Elder must hold a grudge against him and is coveting that peerless inheritance. He will certainly find an opportunity to make a move.”

All four nodded in agreement. Now, the issue was how to create an opportunity for the Second Elder to make a move?

…

An Yuemei and Shi Hao chatted about old times for a while, then she smiled and took her leave.

She wasn’t in a hurry, after all, Shi Hao was now at Zhenwu Sect, and there would naturally be plenty of opportunities in the future.

She even felt a hint of sweetness, thinking that Shi Hao must have come for her.

Just two days later, Xiao Bo summoned all the elders and disciples within the sect and held a major meeting.

In this meeting, he primarily spoke about Gulang City.

This was once the royal capital of an ancient dynasty, the Gulang Country, which was a five-star power in the old days but inexplicably fell overnight—the royal capital mysteriously disappeared, and all its masters were wiped out.

Afterward, many powers began searching for this ancient royal capital.

Five-star power, if one could obtain their legacy, the future might also hold the potential to become a five-star power.

However, as times change and years pass, the difficulty of locating Gulang City is like reaching for the heavens.

Therefore, Zhenwu Sect cooperated with other powers, shared information, and finally deduced the approximate location of this ancient royal capital.

Xiao Bo left previously to confirm the location of the ancient royal capital and personally oversee the excavation.

Finally, the ancient royal capital was uncovered under the daylight.

But, being buried underground for so many years, with the size of a royal capital, how much effort would it take to fully excavate it?

Thus, upon his return, Xiao Bo needed to mobilize more manpower to develop this ancient city.

Of course, it wasn’t just the Zhenwu Sect, many other powers also went back to their sects to gather more manpower to come over.

Everyone must hurry, as Gulang City was now unclaimed territory, and all major powers could excavate it. Therefore, the first to arrive and start digging would definitely have an advantage.

After the mobilization meeting, aside from a few who stayed behind to keep watch, the majority of disciples headed out on the road to Gulang City.

As a Follower of Cao Feiyan, Shi Hao naturally went with her, and not long after they were on the road, An Yuemei joined them. The two women, both outstanding beauties, made countless men jealous.

This was really drawing too much hatred.

Was it just because they were more attractive?

Hong Taihe also noticed this and couldn’t help but smirk coldly. Although he didn’t regard An Yuemei as forbidden fruit, Shi Hao’s repeated refusals of his “kind gestures” naturally displeased him to the extreme.

But now that they had left the sect, he naturally had countless opportunities to make a move.

As for that so-called inheritance of the powerful, he was somewhat interested in it.

As they traveled, twelve days later, they arrived at a vast wasteland, and after half a day more of travel, they saw a massive pit in front of them, seemingly bottomless.

Standing on the edge of the giant pit, one could clearly see that inside the pit… was a city.

However, this city was only partially excavated, revealing just some of the roofs of tall buildings.
