Asura Emperor Venerable

Chapter 95: Chapter 95: At a Loss for Words

“Audacious!” The remaining ministers were all simultaneously angry, shocked, and alarmed, as they pointed at Shi Hao.

Shi Hao smiled faintly, “Whoever points fingers at me again, this will be their fate.”

He paused for a moment, then asked, “Anyone else?”

Instantly, all the ministers dared not speak again.

This was a Martial Venerable, an existence capable of suppressing the destiny of a nation, and to these ordinary ministers, they knew that in Hua Yuan Nation there was only one Martial Venerable, and that was Shi Hao.

So, who could stop him?

None!

“Shi Hao, don’t be impulsive,” Chu Dingtian calmed down as well, trying to appease Shi Hao, “If you have any grievances, you can tell me, and I will do my best to satisfy them.”

“I only have one request,” Shi Hao smiled.

“Please speak,” Chu Dingtian said, feigning a generous demeanor.

“I’ll borrow the head on your neck for a moment,” Shi Hao said.

This!

Chu Dingtian’s face changed immediately, displaying displeasure, “Shi Hao, you’ve gone too far!”

“I’ve gone too far?” Shi Hao shook his head, “The Chu Family wants to kill me, and you say I’ve gone too far?”

What?

Chu Dingtian was taken aback, how did Shi Hao know?

Who leaked the secret?

Were there Shi Hao’s informants in the Imperial Palace?

Otherwise, how could he have possibly known that the Chu Family harbored murderous intentions towards him?

“Hehe, Patriot Duke, don’t be misled by rumors!” Chu Dingtian laughed, “You are the stabilizing pin of the sea in our Hua Yuan Nation; how could I possibly wish to kill you?”

How utterly shameless, to deceive even now?

Shi Hao smiled faintly, “Are you saying that you had no idea about the three members of the Chu Family coming to kill me?”

Chu Dingtian’s heart trembled, who had leaked the secret?

Moreover, the existence of the three Chu Tie was extremely secretive, known to few, and among those in the know, none seemed likely to reveal secrets to Shi Hao… he simply could not think of a single one.

So, how did Shi Hao come to know?

“Patriot Duke, why would you have such misunderstanding?” Chu Dingtian still wanted to argue and took the chance to probe Shi Hao, hoping to uncover the identity of the informant.

Shi Hao shook his head, “So it was a misunderstanding, was it?”

“Of course, a misunderstanding,” Chu Dingtian hurried to agree.

“Alas!” Shi Hao spread his hands, “Then I am really sorry; I thought those three Chu Ties came to kill me, so I got rid of them all.”

What? What!

Chu Dingtian felt the world go dark before his eyes, and nearly fainted.

Those were three Martial Venerables, and one of them was even a third-step Soul Nurturing, how could you possibly have killed them?

Is this guy just spouting nonsense?

But the three Martial Venerables had been gone for so long, even if they had encountered no resistance, they should have returned by now, right? Why, when such a big commotion happened in the Imperial Palace, did none of them rush back?

Did Shi Hao really dispatch them?

But how could that be possible?

For a moment, even Chu Dingtian, a man skilled in speech, found himself at a loss for words and completely unsure of what to say.

“Lost for words?” Shi Hao asked.

Chu Dingtian was covered in cold sweat; he truly didn’t know how to respond.

“Since you have nothing to say, then I shall send you on your way. You can go ask the three Chu Ties for clarity yourself.” Shi Hao stepped forward, moving toward Chu Dingtian again.

“Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!” Chu Dingtian shouted loudly, but those several ministers acted as though they heard nothing.

In their minds, a Martial Venerable was the most powerful existence under heaven, and the Hua Yuan Nation had only one such presence. So, how dare they stop Shi Hao from killing someone now?

Chu Dingtian, not willing to wait for death, swiftly leaped up, attempting to flee the palace.

With a single step, Shi Hao had already intercepted Chu Dingtian. He possessed the strength of over a million pounds, far surpassing Chu Dingtian both in explosive force and endurance.

“You, do you realize that my Chu Family is descended from the Fifth Elder of the White Cloud Sect!” Facing Shi Hao, Chu Dingtian had no chance of winning and could only use the White Cloud Sect to pressure him.

Shi Hao shook his head, “Do you think if threats were effective against me, Chu Tie and the others would have died? Would the Shi Family have been destroyed by me?”

Chu Dingtian was immediately at a loss for words, his mind racing for a way out, but he couldn’t think of any.

In the face of absolute power, all schemes seem pale and powerless.

“Start on your journey.” Shi Hao didn’t give Chu Dingtian another chance to speak. A punch thundered out, and Chu Dingtian lay on the ground, utterly devoid of life.

Several ministers watched, trembling with fear.

The Emperor, the ruler of a nation, yet he was killed as easily as slaughtering a chicken.

Such is the power of a Martial Venerable!

Overwhelming mere mortals, above the law.

Shi Hao did not continue his killing spree. Turning around, he left.

He returned to the Martial Venerate Mansion, took the big yellow dog with him, and then set off for the White Cloud Sect.

On this trip to the White Cloud Sect, he might collect the necessary ingredients to refine the Spirit Awakening Elixir and fulfill his promise.

He always kept his word.

The big yellow dog had no choice but to follow Shi Hao, resigned to its fate.

A man and his dog set off. Shi Hao first rented a horse-drawn carriage and traveled for more than ten days in a leisurely fashion. As the population thinned and the road grew increasingly desolate, the carriage driver dared not go further.

Ahead was a lawless area where bandits roamed freely. The driver, not knowing Shi Hao’s identity, feared that Shi Hao might be a bandit leading him into danger.

—Although this young man is too good-looking to look like a thief.

Shi Hao didn’t insist. After paying the driver, he let him leave and continued on foot with the big yellow dog.

The White Cloud Sect was located at the intersection of Hua Yuan Nation, Tong’an Country, and Changming Country. It wasn’t clear if it was because of the border or if the White Cloud Sect deliberately maintained its mystery, but there were no soldiers from any of the three countries here, making it a paradise for bandits and brigands.

As a result, there were no residents here, and one could walk for dozens of miles without encountering a single household.

Shi Hao hunted daily for meat to roast. Although he had brought spices, eating the same thing every day inevitably grew tiresome.

Not only was he tired of it, but even the big yellow dog had grown picky with its food. It even had complaints about eating roasted meat, constantly glaring at Shi Hao as if to say, Are you only offering this to your master?

“Sigh, let’s hurry to the White Cloud Sect; otherwise, I’m really going to be sick of eating meat.”

Shi Hao complained.

He practiced his cultivation a bit before continuing the journey with the big yellow dog.

“Robbery!” Not long into their trip, a sudden whoosh from the bushes, and a group of about fifteen or sixteen people burst out, each wielding a knife and looking ferocious.

Bandits?

Shi Hao couldn’t help but show a delighted expression, turning to the big yellow dog, “Big Yellow, we finally don’t have to eat roasted meat anymore!”

He was genuinely excited, looking at the bandits with a soft gaze.

What’s going on?

The bandits were baffled, having never seen someone so calm when being robbed.

No, no, no, this wasn’t calm, but joy!

Are you some kind of freak?

“Pretty boy, if you don’t want to die, hand over all your money!” one of the bandits immediately barked.

Shi Hao chuckled, rolling up his sleeves and walking towards the bandits.
