Chapter 674: Zhan Tian Clan
This sudden voice caused the atmosphere of swords drawn and bows bent on the Sacred Land to shatter instantly like accumulated ice.
Feng Feng Bo Ping, the Sword Master, and the others' bodies shook, and they turned their heads abruptly to look at Li Hao.
When they saw Li Hao's figure, they were instantly stunned. It was like a light-year of time; that appearance was like an illusion. They only felt as if all sounds had disappeared, and their brains were buzzing.
On the other side, the three True Immortals were shocked and stared at Li Hao.
When they saw Li Hao's appearance clearly, they were all slightly stunned. It was exactly the face of the fleshly body they wanted to snatch.
But at this time, the aura emitted from the other party was that of the True Immortal Realm. Although it was only the First Level of the True Immortal Realm, he had already crossed that step.
At the same time, they noticed the old man beside Li Hao, who looked as simple as an old farmer, but what made them heart-palpitating was that they couldn't sense the other party's cultivation, and they even faintly felt a terrifying danger warning.
"You didn't die?"
The silver-armored neon-robed youth's expression changed slightly. They came here to recruit disciples and had explored this world at the very first moment. They had even quietly caught some Hearing Dao Realm cultivators and a half-sage within the Sacred Land, searching their souls and stealing their memories, so they were quite familiar with the situation in this world.
Therefore, they also knew that the owner of this fleshly body had already had his Primordial Spirit extinguished in the forbidden area here, long dead beyond dead.
They had also explored that forbidden area, but they felt danger warnings containing Immortal Dao laws before they even got close, so they stopped.
It made True Immortals feel danger, let alone Sage-level ones. But now, the other party was standing before their eyes, alive and well.
"That is... a Hunyuan Divine Blood fleshly body?"
The middle-aged True Immortal's eyes flickered with gloomy light. He saw through Li Hao's fleshly body, and his expression changed instantly.
"Agree to what?"
Li Hao ignored the three people's reactions, his eyes cold, repeating it once more, staring at the cold-looking woman in the colorful dress.
Feeling Li Hao's sharp, knife-like gaze, the cold-looking woman's expression changed, somewhat shocked and angry. Only at the First Level of the True Immortal Realm, yet he had such momentum?
At the same time, Li Hao's questioning also caused a fire to rise in her heart.
"Since you have returned, then let this matter be. We will take our leave!"
Before the cold-looking woman could speak, the middle-aged True Immortal suddenly spoke.
As he spoke, he bowed slightly and then was about to take the two people beside him and leave.
This reaction of his caused the cold-looking woman and the silver-armored neon-robed youth to be shocked in their hearts.
"Did I let you go?"
Li Hao's eyes turned cold, his words like nails, accompanied by the immortal dao pressure he continuously emitted, causing the middle-aged True Immortal's footsteps to pause.
"It was just a misunderstanding. Your Excellency, don't push too hard, right?"
The middle-aged True Immortal frowned, but his eyes looked at the old man beside Li Hao.
What he was truly worried about was this old man whose depth he couldn't see.
Li Hao did not reply to the other party, only looking at Feng Feng Bo Ping, the Sword Master, and the others.
At this time, Feng Feng Bo Ping and the others had all come back to their senses. Lin Qingying and the others on the ground had also recovered their mobility. The moment Li Hao appeared, he blocked the pressure of the three True Immortals, allowing everyone on the entire Sacred Mountain to feel a sense of relief.
"Haotian!"
In an instant, everyone was excited.
That familiar figure, that familiar face, had already been engraved in the depths of their memories.
Swoosh.
Feng Feng Bo Ping appeared in front of Li Hao like an instant teleportation, punched Li Hao on the shoulder, and then hugged him fiercely, as if only in this way could he feel that everything was not an illusion, but real.
"You didn't die. I knew you little brat wouldn't die!"
This old man made a sound like crying and joy.
Mi Tian Sage also followed over. Seeing Feng Feng Bo Ping like this, a trace of desolation flashed in his eyes.
In the other party, he seemed to see a shadow he hadn't been able to reach back then.
Such sincere emotion—if he could have done this back then, perhaps there wouldn't have been so many years of estrangement.
Although they had cleared up their past grievances, how could broken mirrors be reunited? They could never return to the past.
Feeling the temperature of Old Feng, Li Hao felt his blood instantly surge. From walking out of that Divine General Mansion, all the way to Tianmen Pass, to the land of the Heavens now, from the Buddhist holy land to the present—this journey had been too long, too long.
Feng Feng Bo Ping, but because he was there, the wind and waves had never been calm.
Li Hao had a difficult-to-describe feeling in his heart. Shame, guilt, joy, being moved, and so on.
He patted the other party's shoulder lightly, the coldness like a sharp sword in his eyes having long since disappeared, pulling out a relaxed smile, saying:
"Knowing I wouldn't die, why cry so sadly?"
"Bastard, who's crying? Old man, I just got sand from you in my eyes."
Feng Feng Bo Ping punched Li Hao's chest hard, but with Li Hao's physique, it was as soft as cotton.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."
The Sword Master's eyes rarely revealed surprise and excitement, but he was relatively restrained. It was just that Li Hao noticed the hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.
Even in the moment of a life-and-death battle, the other party's hand would be as steady as his sword, but at this moment, it was trembling slightly.
Li Hao's eyes were complicated. He suddenly felt that he was carrying a lot, bearing a lot.
"Wait for me to settle their affairs first, then we'll catch up properly."
Li Hao took a deep breath and said to everyone, then raised his head, his eyes becoming cold again. He just noticed the wound on Mi Tian Sage's body, which showed no signs of healing, with immortal power gathered there, preventing it from healing.
Clearly, this was the handiwork of the three True Immortals before him.
Hearing Li Hao's words, the middle-aged True Immortal's expression changed, and the cold-looking woman's brows also furrowed, feeling anger in her heart. But the deacon's reaction beside her made her realize that the situation was somewhat wrong, and she was just suppressing it for now.
"A small misunderstanding. Your friend isn't hurt either. These one hundred Immortal Stones will be our apology."
The middle-aged True Immortal took a small cloth bag from his bosom and threw it toward Li Hao.
Li Hao didn't move at all, not catching it, and the small cloth bag fell in an arc.
The middle-aged True Immortal's eyes were slightly cold, and he said in a low voice: "We are from the Xuanzhan Sect. I am the deacon of the Xuanzhan Sect, Zuo Chunqiu."
He revealed his name, which also meant this was his final concession. Li Hao's eyes didn't change, only saying coldly: "A deacon of a sect, yet only at the True Immortal Realm. It seems your sect is nothing more than that."
Zuo Chunqiu said with a gloomy face: "This tone is a bit too big, right? My Xuanzhan Sect is in the Southern Domain of the True Realm and is also considered a Fourth-Grade sect. Our Sect Master is an Immortal Lord Realm powerhouse. A difference of one realm, killing a True Immortal is like pinching an ant!"
Li Hao turned to look at Old Wang and asked: "Is that so?"
Old Wang seemed to understand Li Hao's thoughts and nodded very seriously:
"Hmm, I've pinched Immortal Lords before; it really is like pinching ants!"
Zuo Chunqiu and the three were stunned, looking at Old Wang. This tone?
Li Hao nodded slightly, and then didn't say more. He suddenly erupted, immortal power surging, and the Taowu Immortal Sword appeared in his palm.
Kill!
Li Hao's killing intent was transmitted to the Taowu Immortal Sword. The Taowu sword spirit understood Li Hao's killing intent and didn't hesitate, instantly blooming with dazzling sword light, shooting out from Li Hao's hand like an instant teleportation.
"You really dare to make a move?!"
"This isn't a True Treasure level weapon?"
The three were all shocked. They didn't expect Li Hao to suddenly erupt with killing intent and directly attack them. At the same time, the pressure suddenly emitted by this Immortal Sword made them feel heart-trembling. That was definitely not a True Treasure that a True Immortal Realm cultivator could control.
In a glance/p>
"Run!"
Zuo Chunqiu reacted the fastest, instantly sacrificing two talismans, then flipping out two Immortal Weapons—one reflecting like a mirror, one spinning like a teapot.
While sacrificing the Immortal Weapons, he shouted to run, but suddenly pushed his palm toward the silver-armored neon-robed youth, while simultaneously pulling the cold-looking woman to retreat.
The silver-armored neon-robed youth was caught off guard and pushed out. As they brushed past each other, seeing the decisiveness and ruthlessness in the other party's eyes, he instantly understood, his eyes revealing horror and anger, roaring wildly as his silver armor bloomed with ten thousand silver lights.
The cold-looking woman also didn't seem to expect Zuo Chunqiu to do this, but in the short moment she was dragged to retreat, she seemed to understand, the astonishment in her eyes disappearing, and she quickly sacrificed her Immortal Treasure to flee with Zuo Chunqiu.
Previously, she still had anger toward Li Hao and the intention to fight, but Zuo Chunqiu's performance and the words of the old farmer-like old man immediately made her realize the situation was wrong.
All of this took a long time to say, but it actually happened in the instant Li Hao made his move.
Bang!
The ten thousand silver lights erupted by the silver-armored neon-robed youth hadn't reached their peak before they were suddenly cut off at the waist and disappeared.
The Taowu Immortal Sword pierced through his True Immortal body, tearing his body and Primordial Spirit apart together, unable to heal, his life aura rapidly disappearing.
At the same time, the Taowu Immortal Sword pierced through his body and chased after Zuo Chunqiu and the cold-looking woman like electric light.
The silver-armored neon-robed youth's eruption didn't buy them any time.
"This is an Immortal Weapon, a weapon that only those in the Immortal Lord Realm can control!"
Zuo Chunqiu's pupils contracted. At this moment, he had already recognized the grade of Li Hao's sword, but it was somewhat late.
Despair appeared in his eyes. He roared, suddenly pushing the cold-looking woman beside him to the front, shouting loudly:
"She is a descendant of the Zhan Tian Clan. If she dies here, your entire Heavens will suffer..."
Before he could finish speaking, the Taowu Immortal Sword flashed slightly, passing the cold-looking woman's throat, then circled around like electric light, cutting off Zuo Chunqiu's neck, and his words came to an abrupt end.
The Immortal Dao domain laws on Taowu completely disintegrated Zuo Chunqiu's own Immortal Dao power, suppressing his divine blood regeneration, making it impossible to reconnect.
"You..."
Horror appeared in Zuo Chunqiu's eyes. As his head was about to fall, he hurriedly held it. He didn't die on the spot, but having his head cut off together with his Primordial Spirit and fleshly body, he had already lost seventy percent of his combat power.
"Don't kill me, I'll compensate, ten thousand, no, one hundred thousand Immortal Stones, I..."
Before he could finish, the Taowu Immortal Sword, under Li Hao's instruction, pierced through his head directly, even crushing his fleshly body.
From the silver-armored neon-robed youth being cut at the waist to Zuo Chunqiu being crushed, it took no more than a single breath of time.
In an instant, only the cold-looking woman remained on the spot, standing blankly.
The Sacred Land became silent.
Everyone looked at this scene in shock.
Just excited about Li Hao's return, they had all forgotten the existence of these three True Immortals for a moment, but with Li Hao's eruption, they all became nervous again. After all, although Li Hao had also reached the True Immortal Realm, the other party was ultimately from the True Realm, and there were three of them, one of whom was a powerhouse among True Immortals!
It was just that, before they could worry, the battle had actually ended in an instant.
The three True Immortals who had just exerted pressure on the entire Sacred Land were cut down under Li Hao's sword in an instant, without even a chance to escape.
After five years of separation, the youth returned again, not only becoming a True Immortal, but seemingly just like in the past, becoming invincible in the same realm!
Everyone was somewhat dazed.
At this time, the most confused was the cold-looking woman. She never expected Zuo Chunqiu to be killed instantly.
The other party had used her as a shield before dying. She hadn't even had time to be angry and hate, and the other party had turned into dust.
Looking at the youth with cold and calm eyes before her, she felt her body trembling uncontrollably. She never expected that in this pseudo-world where Sage-level was top-tier, she would have the possibility of perishing.
"I, I am of the Zhan Tian Clan. If you kill me, your entire Heavens will have trouble. The powerhouses of my clan will definitely come to crusade. I can forget about today's matter, I can swear with an Immortal Seal!"
The cold-looking woman reacted, suppressing her trembling voice and speaking quickly.
She was worried that the other party was extremely reckless and would just kill her too.
Li Hao didn't expect Taowu to be so powerful either, not even needing him to make a move. He only provided the immortal power Taowu needed, and it easily killed the other party.
"Zhan Tian Clan?"
Li Hao looked at Old Wang beside him. If it were only himself, he would be too lazy to listen and would have killed her directly, but now bearing the Heavens, he had to consider the Heavens.
Old Wang's eyes had a bit of aftertaste, and he said lightly: "Ten thousand years ago, the Zhan Tian Clan followed under the command of the Huang Zhan Immortal Emperor and was famous for being brave and good at fighting. Its clansmen were born with battle bodies and battle hearts, cultivating extremely fast, especially the battle body. They could stimulate it when reaching the Hearing Dao Realm, capable of briefly entering a berserk state, increasing combat power several times to ten times."
He paused, his gaze falling on the cold-looking woman, like an elder looking at a little girl, but his eyes had no temperature, saying:
"But the Huang Zhan Immortal Emperor also fell back then. The Zhan Tian Clan... is just a follower. Even if she is a blood descendant of the Huang Zhan Immortal Emperor, she is not as good as your current status."
His voice was very light, but it exploded like ten thousand thunders in the cold-looking woman's ears.
She stared blankly at this old farmer-like old man, only feeling her heart beating wildly. The other party had revealed the ancient secrets of their Zhan Tian Clan in just a few words, and it was ten thousand years ago—at that time, even her grandfather hadn't been born yet.
"If I kill her, is there any way for the Zhan Tian Clan to know?"
Li Hao asked.
Old Wang nodded, then smiled lightly: "The Zhan Tian Clan has a shared Primordial Spirit Secret Realm. In that secret realm, their Primordial Spirits have brands. If they perish, the brand will disappear, but it will retain the last memory before death before disappearing. Therefore, killing a Zhan Tian Clan member rashly will be traced. But this secret realm is not without ways to cover it up, for example..."
He raised his hand slightly, and the sky suddenly darkened, but this darkness emerged from behind him, and then surrounded the cold-looking woman.
"In my Immortal Kingdom, her secret realm is useless, unless it is an existence of the same realm."
Old Wang said with a smile.
The cold-looking woman's expression was dull. The words of begging she wanted to say were already stuck in her throat.
Condensing an Immortal Kingdom... This is an Immortal King Overlord!
