Chapter 1014: Chapter 1014: The Fire Silkworm Caught
What?
Venerable Huochan was momentarily stunned, thinking he had misheard.
Someone directly called his title and ordered him to roll out and meet them?
Hiss, are you sure your intelligence is normal?
His expression turned sinister, and he said, "Go, kill that madman!"
"Yes, my lord!"
It’s not Shi Hao, so why should he fear?
Bang!
Moments later, a figure was sent flying inside, limbs spread out, lying motionless on the ground.
Wasn’t this the disciple who just went out on orders?
Venerable Huochan was taken aback, and everyone else in the room was also stunned.
What’s happening?
"Master, let me go," said a white-haired old man who stood up. He appeared older than Venerable Huochan but was his thirty-second disciple, and among the living disciples, he was ranked first.
—Those senior brothers and sisters above him couldn’t withstand the passage of time and had died of old age.
He possessed cultivation at the level of the Heaven Connecting Road, and among Huochan’s disciples, he was the only one at this level, deeply trusted and highly regarded by Venerable Huochan.
Venerable Huochan nodded. With this disciple taking action, the problem was sure to be resolved.
Bang!
However, within an instant, another person was sent flying back in, lying on the ground, limbs spread out, full of white hair — wasn’t this the same elder who had just gone out?
This!
Everyone in the room felt a chill; how long had it been, and yet the white-haired elder was defeated?
This was a strong cultivator of the Heaven Connecting Road, and in the great achievement realm.
This implied... the opponent must be at the Heaven Building Ladder level.
Hiss!
Venerable Huochan pressed his hand down and said, "This Venerable will go take a look."
As long as it isn’t Shi Hao, he isn’t afraid; apart from this person, he hadn’t heard of anyone else at the Heaven Building Ladder level being able to defeat others at the same level — except for the special cases in the Dark Empire.
He went out, followed closely by other disciples.
As an almighty at the Heaven Building Ladder level, even though on the run, Venerable Huochan wouldn’t wrong himself. He bought a massive estate and ascended into the air, looking down on all beings.
Standing at the gate were twenty-three people in total.
My goodness!
Venerable Huochan nearly fell from the sky because these individuals were all at the Heaven Building Ladder level, and some even at the Absolute Summit!
How could this be possible?
Too young, too young, he had never heard of so many young Absolute Summits in the Mortal Realm. Such geniuses were rare in the world, let alone appearing in batches.
Right, the Immortal Realm!
He "suddenly understood" that only the Immortal Realm could cultivate so many young geniuses.
Why would people from the Immortal Realm seek him out?
Could it be to cultivate him?
Venerable Huochan’s heart raced; by his own strength, it was challenging to reach the Absolute Summit, and without reaching that summit, he couldn’t ascend to the Immortal Realm. This lifetime would only afford him five thousand years of lifespan; he’d die at the end.
But if he could live forever, of course, he wouldn’t want to die.
He didn’t know why the bigwigs from the Immortal Realm were looking for him, but he believed it was a good thing.
Thinking so, he immediately descended and said, "I am here, where is your esteemed master?"
In front of beings from the Immortal Realm, he dare not act presumptuous. Moreover, the twenty-three on the opposite side were all at the Absolute Summit level, much stronger than him, and he had no qualifications to put on airs.
Anmin and the others exchanged glances, all understanding that Venerable Huochan had misunderstood.
However, it didn’t matter; they might as well give him a scare.
"Follow us," Anmin and the others turned around and headed towards the starry sky.
Although their demeanor was quite arrogant, Venerable Huochan didn’t mind at all.
The Immortal Realm people, it’s normal for them to be a bit arrogant.
He followed the group into the starry sky, where he saw someone standing with their back to him.
Eh, why does this seem slightly familiar?
Venerable Huochan muttered inwardly, but immediately brushed off this thought; forget it, he should be overthinking.
"My lord, Huochan has been brought," Anmin and the others paid respects to Shi Hao, half-kneeling.
Venerable Huochan was full of emotions; as expected of someone from the Immortal Realm, esteemed Absolute Summit individuals even had to kneel.
Yet, he naturally still had some pride and only bowed, saying, "This old man, Huochan—"
He once again lowered his status, not even using ’this old man,’ but referring to himself as ’old’, but just as he began to speak, the person turned around, and upon seeing the familiar face, Venerable Huochan’s hair stood on end.
Shi Hao, it really was Shi Hao!
"Surprised, aren’t you, that it’s actually me!" Shi Hao said with a smile.
Pretentious, indeed pretentious!
The Purple Gold Rat was at the side, furiously complaining, saying I’m vain. You deliberately turned your body just to act pretentious now?
Hypocritical yet upright, shameless villain!
Venerable Huochan stared blankly at Shi Hao, full of disbelief.
Why?
How could it be Shi Hao?
To command over twenty Heaven Building Ladder individuals, and even Absolute Summit abilities, no one in the Mortal Realm should have such power.
Under any circumstances, he never thought it would be Shi Hao.
After a moment of shock, Venerable Huochan immediately turned around, pushing his speed to the limit, fleeing for his life.
Fight?
Even if Shi Hao wasn’t as strong as rumored, just the twenty-three Absolute Summit abilities, each could kill him with one punch.
Isn’t staying idle courting death?
Seeing him flee, Anmin and the others didn’t make a move.
Good, the opportunity is here.
Venerable Huochan was overjoyed; if Anmin intercepted, he couldn’t have possibly broken through the encirclement, but after breaking through, even the Absolute Summit could hardly catch up with him.
That’s why it’s said that it’s hard to kill someone at the Heaven Building Ladder level, and this isn’t just boasting.
However, just after a few steps, he was immensely shocked to find Shi Hao standing before him again.
It wasn’t that the opponent ran ahead of him, for Anmin and others remained fixed in their positions; somehow, he unknowingly ran back himself.
What kind of technique was this?
Venerable Huochan was amazed but also filled with fear, for the ability to control him without him noticing was terrifying!
"Isn’t this too distant, running away as soon as you see me?" Shi Hao asked with a smile.
Venerable Huochan cursed inwardly but maintained a calm facade, saying, "Asura, this Venerable thinks I’ve done nothing to offend you, but rather, it’s you who infiltrated this Venerable’s grounds and stole this Venerable’s treasures!"
"So why do you act so aggressively?"
Shi Hao shook his head, "You once attacked my father, nearly succeeding, so do you think I should let you go unpunished?"
What?
Venerable Huochan didn’t know what to say; he almost killed Asura’s father?
But he couldn’t even remember who that person was!
Isn’t this unjust?
He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I’ll admit this Venerable was in the wrong. After all, your father is unharmed. If this Venerable offers a solemn apology, can we let this matter rest?"
Shi Hao shook his head, "Family is my reverse scale, so no one should touch it. I have to set an example to let everyone know, this is an absolute taboo!"
As he spoke, he reached out toward Venerable Huochan.
