Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 792 Call More People

This is a small piece of metal.

Although only the size of a thumb, it is an incomparably precious Nine Stars material. With too little to forge a weapon directly, when melted into an Eight Stars weapon, it can greatly enhance its quality.

Shi Hao was about to put away this metal when he paused slightly and looked around.

According to his experience, someone should be coming over at this time, yelling loudly for him to put down the Precious Metal in his hands.

Huh, there’s actually no one?

Shi Hao couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed, then he proceeded to store the Precious Metal away.

"Little Stone, are you suffering from persecution complex?" The Purple Gold Rat by his side commented, "You’re not used to nobody coming out to mess with you?"

Shi Hao laughed heartily, "Indeed, that’s the case."

Well, it’s good that no one came out to disturb him, although it was a bit disappointing.

He continued his search and unexpectedly discovered that there were quite a few pieces of Precious Metal like this in the palace.

These were probably not intentionally concealed by the Ancient Dynastic Court of the past but served to strengthen the palace. Over time, certain arrangements in the palace had failed, leaving these Precious Metals as mere decorations.

Two pieces, three pieces, four pieces—when Shi Hao picked up the fifth piece, he finally encountered a minor incident.

"Put down the Precious Metal in your hands!" a voice rang out, full of arrogance.

Shi Hao was not startled but delighted; damn, after such a long time, he finally ran into a fool who didn’t know any better.

He looked over; the other party was a young man who appeared to be about twenty-four or twenty-five but had already reached the Founding King Court. For someone his age, this was indeed quite impressive.

Unfortunately, what was the Founding King Court compared to Shi Hao’s standards now?

"Just you?" Shi Hao sighed, showing great disappointment.

That look on your face!

Zuo Tao was almost about to explode with anger. Seeing him approach, not only did Shi Hao not show any fear, but he even looked pleasantly surprised. Also, what did that remark mean? Were you looking down on me?

Do you even know who I am?

He snorted, "Which sect are you from? Don’t you even recognize Zuo Tao?"

"Should I know you?" Shi Hao laughed, then turned to the Purple Gold Rat and said, "Listen to that familiar tone, a classic rich second generation, truly something to look forward to."

The Purple Gold Rat rolled its eyes wildly; Shi Hao actually had such twisted tastes.

Zuo Tao trembled with anger: "You really have a lot of guts, mocking me too!"

He paused for a moment, expecting a response from Shi Hao, perhaps an inquiry about his identity.

There should be someone to set up the punchline, right?

Seeing that the other party had stopped for a good while, Shi Hao finally realized and hurriedly laughed, "My apologies, my apologies, I haven’t gotten into the rhythm yet! Am I supposed to ask about your background now?"

Damn it, with him messing about, any sense of might had vanished completely.

Zuo Tao’s chest heaved twice before he said, "I am a disciple of Sanying Hall!"

"Is that all?" Shi Hao was disappointed, "Not a disciple of cultivation, or the Sect Master’s illegitimate child or something?"

Zuo Tao felt like jumping up, do you think just anyone can become a disciple of cultivation?

Sanying Hall was a Ten Stars force. To become a disciple of cultivation of that sect, how outstanding must one be?

Take their current disciple of cultivation, Lin Ziguang for example, who not only reached Great Sacrificial Heaven before the age of fifty but had also completed three sacrifices, and with combat power comparable to four sacrifices, was unimaginably powerful.

And the Sect Master’s illegitimate child? You really dare to say it. Even if there was such a person, it could only be an open secret, not something to be discussed openly, could it?

"Since you know I am a disciple from Sanying Hall, why haven’t you put down the Precious Metal!" he shouted.

Shi Hao shrugged: "No."

No?

Zuo Tao bared his teeth, in this place, once he announced his identity, who wouldn’t comply submissively?

Even though, all major ten-star forces had agreed that one could freely fight for possession within the ancient relic, even there, didn’t everyone still give some face to the disciples of the Great Sects?

After all, you see each other up and down the road.

Therefore, Zuo Tao was accustomed to having his way, but he had hit a snag with Shi Hao, which he found unbelievable.

"Fine! Fine!" he said through gritted teeth, then turned and left.

He wasn’t foolish, Shi Hao’s aura was unfathomably deep, definitely at the Supplementing Divine Temple level; if he were to start a fight with him, wouldn’t that be courting death?

This was an ancient relic, after all. If he were killed without anyone witnessing, and the strong couldn’t enter to trace the clues, he might just die here in vain.

It was time to bring reinforcements, with the lure of Nine Stars Precious Metal, he believed many powerful brothers and sisters of his sect would be willing to act.

"Not stopping him?" the Purple Gold Rat asked.

Shi Hao smiled, "No need, the current situation is too quiet anyway. Causing a bit of commotion would be good. And... to get the Soul Crystal, one must first draw out the Restless Soul."

The production of Soul Crystals required Restless Souls to possess living humans, and then by killing them, there was a chance they would appear.

So, Shi Hao needed to create a major disturbance to draw out the Restless Souls, giving them an opportunity, which could then allow him to acquire Soul Crystals.

He wouldn’t actively harm innocent people, but if they were possessed by Restless Souls, he would kill without mercy or hesitation.

The four acted as if nothing had happened and continued forward, but it wasn’t long before Zuo Tao had returned with someone else.

"Kid, let’s see you be arrogant now!" Zuo Tao said, "This is my Senior Brother Cheng who has already lit the Incense Flame. I ask you, are you scared or not?"

Both were instances of lighting the Incense Flame, but disciples of the Great Sects and those of an ordinary Supplementing Divine Temple were utterly different.

The brother surnamed Cheng was Cheng Bai, a Direct Disciple of an elder of Sanying Hall who had Ascended to Saint Position, so naturally, his strength was formidable.

Shi Hao sighed and said, "I was hoping you would bring someone powerful, but this is just a scallion?"

Cheng Bai was startled. What, I’m a scallion?

"Hmph, where did this ignorant brat come from, utterly nonsensical." He made his move directly, striking out with a palm towards Shi Hao.

He was completely different from Zuo Tao. Zuo Tao had reservations, but Cheng Bai had no need for them at all. As one who had lit the Incense Flame and was a disciple of a ten-star Great Sect, how could someone of the ordinary level of the Supplementing Divine Temple be his match?

Shi Hao flicked his finger, bang, and Cheng Bai was blasted away like a cannonball.

He smiled and said to the dumbstruck Zuo Tao, "What are you standing around for, hurry up and bring more troops!"

Only then did Zuo Tao come to his senses, not even bothering with Cheng Bai, he hastily turned and ran.

Shi Hao did not strike Cheng Bai again, but strode away instead.

Restless Souls, come out quickly, he needed to stir the waters.

Soon after, Zuo Tao brought more people over.

This time there were quite a few, over a dozen, and not just from the Supplementing Divine Temple, but also from the Great Sacrificial Heaven.

Last time, he had only brought Cheng Bai because he didn’t want too many people sharing the Nine Stars Precious Metal. But since Cheng Bai was flicked away by Shi Hao, his life or death uncertain, Zuo Tao no longer dared to be greedy.

"Kid, halt!"
