Chapter 793

Hearing Li Hao's words, before the Tiangong Supreme could respond, Xue Jian Xin and Ming Master Yue, who had arrived, couldn't help but take a step forward, and Ming Master Yue scolded angrily:

"Shut up!"

Li Hao was stunned, turned his head to look, and saw that the girl who was cold as frost earlier was now full of anger.

"What kind of person is my master? He holds up heaven and earth, the end of immortals and gods. How can you question him?"

Ming Master Yue said angrily, her autumn-water-like beautiful eyes full of anger.

If it were anyone else, having been influenced since childhood in the True World, their awe of the Immortal Emperor would be deep in their bones, and they would naturally not have any questions. Even if the Immortal Emperor said the sun in this world was black and the moon was purple, no one would question it, only be curious.

Li Hao didn't know this girl, but he also knew she was a personal disciple of the Supreme. Seeing her so angry, he couldn't help but frown, and a trace of inexplicable anger surged in his heart.

"I'm not questioning, I just feel there might be a misunderstanding, so I'm asking. Why are you so angry?"

Li Hao looked coldly and said: "Your master is an Immortal Emperor, supreme. Is that one not an Immortal Emperor? Do you allow yourself to bully him?"

Hearing Li Hao's words, Ming Master Yue's eyes were cold, and she said: "This matter is already known to the Southern Region, with ironclad evidence!"

"That's your business. I'm new here, I don't know."

Li Hao said with a cold face, not retreating in the slightest.

Although he had never met that master and only received his legacy, in the Imperial Hall, he had witnessed everything, including Old Man Wang, the Divine God of the True Venerable Tower, and the Imperial Hall Soul Luoli who stood in the Imperial Hall with a mournful look. Li Hao didn't believe that the other party was someone who could retreat.

Since he retreated, why did he fall?

In the distant starry sky, a figure was flying rapidly. He looked at this scene reflected in the starry sky, somewhat lost.

"Retreating? How is it possible? Who is spreading rumors, who is slandering?!"

"Heavenly Emperor, you are a close friend of the adult, how can you allow someone to slander?"

He muttered to himself, full of shock, hard to believe.

Slandering an Immortal Emperor, and a meritorious Immortal Emperor at that, this kind of thing would actually happen.

At this moment, above the clouds, Xue Jian Xin beside Ming Master Yue said with a dark face:

"Since you don't know, you should go and understand. That is your master, right? How can you be so unconcerned about your own master's affairs?"

Hearing his words, many people who were slow to react were also in an uproar and exclaimed at this moment.

Li Hao was indeed a disciple of the Immortal Emperor, but he didn't expect that he would be a disciple of that Immortal Emperor who became a taboo.

Regarding the name of that Immortal Emperor, it had already become a taboo seven or eight thousand years ago, and it was forbidden to talk about it.

"He is actually a disciple of that Immortal Emperor."

"No wonder he is so monstrous, but even as a disciple of the Immortal Emperor, he is a bit too monstrous."

"It's a pity, he is actually a disciple of a sinful immortal. I don't know how the Supreme will deal with him."

"That matter is too long ago. Such a genius, it would be a pity to execute him. With Ancient Demons lurking, our True World lacks geniuses. Give him a thousand years, and he will definitely be a great general who slays demons!"

Throughout the Southern Region, countless people were discussing this matter intensely.

"I said, I'm new to the True World. Even if I want to understand, I need time."

Li Hao saw that his identity had been exposed, so there was no need to hide it anymore. After all, the Tiangong Supreme had already pointed it out earlier.

"That's right, I am a disciple of the Lord Tianyang Immortal Emperor. The immortal arts I displayed earlier are the legacy he left behind."

Li Hao raised his head, looking around the surroundings, but his heart sank. He saw the Chu Emperor, the Empress Yuan Zun Empress, and other imperial emperors of the various dynasties, all with dark expressions, their eyes revealing complexity, as if pitying, and as if sympathizing.

This kind of gaze made him feel a sense of foreboding in his heart, but now, even if he covered it up, he couldn't hide it from the eyes of the Tiangong Supreme before him.

If the other party wanted to make things difficult for him, no amount of rhetoric would be of any use, and he also believed that the other party absolutely had a hundred ways to pry his mouth open.

Since that was the case, his heart was calm.

"As far as I know, my master has already fallen, having fallen in the Ancient Demon Battle of that year, and even the legacy left behind is extremely simple!"

Li Hao raised his head, looking around the four directions. Although he didn't know the truth of that year, nor did he know whether that master really retreated, he looked directly into his heart. He didn't believe that master had done such a thing. Moreover, he fell into a desperate situation, and it was the legacy left by the other party that indirectly saved him.

"I won't be laughed at by everyone for saying it, but the reason I came to the True World is purely because I'm too poor!"

Li Hao's voice shook the sky. With a wave of his hand, he took out three immortal stone IOUs and displayed them to everyone, saying:

"This is the legacy I received, the immortal stones left to me by my master are three IOUs, not a single immortal stone!"

"And in the Lord Tianyang Pseudo-World where I lived, there were no legends of immortals and gods, not even True Immortal legacies. Immortals and gods were all extinct, having fallen in that great battle of the year, and not even the most ordinary True Immortals were left behind!"

"Although I only have a hundred years of soul life, although ten thousand years have passed since that great battle, I am not qualified to discuss or comment on that battle at all, but everything I know, I believe my master did not retreat. There must be a misunderstanding!"

His voice was extremely loud and firm, carrying a firm belief that could not be moved, reflected out, and echoing through the Southern Region.

Seeing the three IOUs held high in the youth's hand, everyone on the scene had such cultivation that they could see a mosquito like a fight from a thousand miles away, and they all saw the seals and contents on the IOUs clearly.

And many of the survivors of that year, looking at the strange yet familiar seals, immediately recalled long-lost memories. That chamber of commerce that spread throughout the Southern Region and was famous in various immortal dynasties, employing many strong people to guard it, had all disappeared in the long river of time.

It was just unexpected that they could still see the seals of those three major chambers of commerce today.

"Is this true or false? There are actually no immortal stones, just IOUs?"

"The legacy left by a dignified Immortal Emperor is actually poor to this extent?"

"How is it possible? These IOUs must be fake. Which Immortal Emperor would leave IOUs in his hands, and who would dare to owe an Immortal Emperor immortal stones?"

"That seal is absolutely authentic. The seal of the three major chambers of commerce was built by the Great Dao and cannot be faked. Otherwise, how could those three major chambers of commerce have spread throughout the Southern Region in those years?"

"That's right, their seals cannot be faked, unless an Immortal Emperor makes a move, but how could an Immortal Emperor be so undignified!"

Countless people were discussing, somewhat shocked, not expecting that Li Hao, as a disciple of an Immortal Emperor, would be poor to this extent.

In their view, a disciple of an Immortal Emperor had countless halos, and cultivation resources were piled up like mountains, countless, so how could he not even have a single immortal stone?

"How could it be?"

Ming Master Yue, who had anger on her face earlier, was also somewhat surprised looking at the IOUs in Li Hao's hand at this moment.

Xue Jian Xin frowned tightly, staring at the youth's face, trying to judge whether the other party was lying.

And in the Yan Chu territory, those figures full of blood rage, looking at the scene reflected in the sky at this moment, were all struck by lightning, standing in place.

Soon, some had moist eyes, some clenched their chests tightly, feeling as if their chests were burning and tearing, painful to the point of being unable to breathe.

They couldn't imagine what kind of extent that adult had fought to, to make his own legacy so shabby!

In the starry sky, Wang Shanhe, who was rushing on his way, had a trace of sorrow on his old face. Only he knew what that adult had fought to in that battle, and what he had done!

In the Asking Heart Floating City.

Old Man Han, who was fishing by the sea of clouds on the hillside, watched this scene reflected in the clouds quietly.

There was no surprise on his face, appearing extremely calm, as if he had expected this scene long ago.

"Silly boy..."

He muttered in a low voice, whispering to himself: "The True World is sinister, being sold and not knowing it, this can also be considered a tribulation in your life."

Amidst the many whispers, the voice of the Tiangong Supreme sounded at this moment. He spoke slowly:

"The events of that year, no one is willing to believe, but it is a fact."

"There were many witnesses that year, and I have been investigating this matter for ten thousand years, just hoping there was another hidden reason, but unfortunately..."

He shook his head slightly, sighed lightly, and said: "Under the joint efforts of the two Ancient Demon Emperors, he chose to protect himself, which is understandable. After all, cultivation is not easy. As for your IOUs, including the immortal stones you mentioned, that is another matter. The two have no direct connection. Perhaps he was too heavily injured and used all the immortal stones for recuperation."

His voice was very light, but every word was like a spring, falling into everyone's heart.

Hearing his words, everyone suddenly came back to their senses.

Many elders in major clans were born in the turbulent post-war era and had heard of that shocking trial of that year.

That trial also implicated the fall of many major clans, including the Chaos Clan, which was once a race under the Lord Tianyang Immortal Emperor. That Chaos Ancestor Witch fell in a more distant battle, a battle of broken worlds that few even among the older generation had heard of, entrusting the geniuses and lifeblood of his clan to the Lord Tianyang Immortal Emperor.

And the Ancient Demon Battle ended, the Lord Tianyang Immortal Emperor fell and disappeared, and the Chaos Clan also declined because of this.

In addition, there were other connected major clans, which no one had heard of today.

That once glorious and prosperous Fusu Qin Xianchao and Lord Tianyang Imperial City had long become history.

"That's right, just relying on three IOUs cannot explain anything."

"Injured in the great battle, retreating, I heard that my great-grandfather witnessed the other party turning his back and retreating, leaving the battlefield."

"This explains it. He must have been injured and exhausted all the immortal stones himself. It makes sense that someone who could turn his back on the Southern Region and abandon the common people could not even leave immortal stones in his legacy."

In the blink of an eye, everyone looked at Li Hao again, their eyes different, some pitying, some disgusted.

Li Hao was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party would overturn everything he said in just a few words.

If he hadn't come from the Lord Tianyang Pseudo-World, he would have believed the other party's words.

It was just that his inner intuition told him that that master absolutely had not betrayed the Southern Region.

Li Hao turned his head and looked at the Chu Emperor and other imperial emperors of the ancient immortal dynasties.

The seven ancient immortal dynasties were all immortal dynasties that had existed ten thousand years ago. The war didn't destroy them, and they had inherited their legacy.

"Imperial Emperors, you should have been there in that battle."

Li Hao asked.

Hearing this, the Chu Emperor, the Empress Yuan Zun Empress, the Emperor Tianzhao Emperor, and others all had their eyes shift slightly, but soon calmed down.

The Emperor Tianzhao Emperor raised his eyebrows slightly and said indifferently: "Little guy, we were indeed there in that battle. Although our cultivation was not enough, we all did our part. It is true that countless people witnessed the Lord Tianyang Immortal Emperor leaving the battlefield and abandoning the Southern Region."

Li Hao was stunned.

He swept his gaze toward the Chu Emperor and others, but saw that their expressions were extremely calm, without words, but there was no doubt that they seemed to think so too.

But, how is it possible?

"Could it be that he had something else to do, so he left temporarily?"

Li Hao couldn't help but ask.

The Red Emperor in a bright red imperial robe said slowly: "We naturally considered this kind of thing. If there wasn't ironclad evidence, no one would dare to let an Immortal Emperor be wronged. But the fact is, after he left, the defense line was quickly broken, the Southern Region suffered heavy losses, and he had no news since then. Until the war was almost over, there was some news of him, but it was already unimportant."

Saying the last sentence, she looked deeply at Li Hao, and their eyes met.

Li Hao was stunned. This period of time was too long ago, and he was completely blurred about it. Wanting to investigate the truth was almost impossible.

And wanting to overturn their current rhetoric was also impossible to start with. Everything seemed to be true.

But... he couldn't believe it in his heart.

"Are you his personal disciple?"

At this moment, the Tiangong Supreme said.

Li Hao was somewhat lost, many thoughts floating, and shook his head: "No."

Hearing this, many people were stunned, not expecting that with Li Hao's talent, he was not even a personal disciple.

Xue Jian Xin and Ming Master Yue both raised their eyebrows slightly, feeling uncomfortable inside, but then felt a sense of rejection. Although they didn't feel this youth was stronger than them, purely from talent, he was qualified to become a personal disciple.

The standard for accepting disciples of that sinful immortal was actually higher than their master's, which made them feel disgusted.

"Although I don't know how much legacy you have received and whether you have been too deeply influenced, considering your hard cultivation, I can exempt you from the death penalty."

The Tiangong Supreme said lightly.

Li Hao was stunned, looking up at him, and soon, he understood his situation.

If the Lord Tianyang Immortal Emperor bore the crime of betraying the Southern Region, then in the Southern Region, he was equivalent to the descendant of a traitor, and being executed was indisputable.

"Why don't you thank Master."

Ming Master Yue said with a cold face.

Li Hao was silent, but there was a thought in his heart: if there was a chance, once he mastered the time origin to the tenth level, he would personally cross the long river of time to see what happened in that battle, so as to clear the name for that master!

"But the death penalty can be exempted. From today on, you must abolish those immortal arts."

The Tiangong Supreme said calmly: "Considering your excellent talent and comprehension, I can grant you a chance to become a disciple. If you can pass the test, I can accept you as a personal disciple."

These words were like a thunderclap on flat ground, and countless people were stunned.

After a brief silence, there was an uproar, and countless people looked at Li Hao with excitement and envy.

No one expected that the Supreme would not pursue Li Hao, but instead cherish his talent and want to accept him into his sect.

Xue Jian Xin and Ming Master Yue were also stunned, their eyes shifting slightly, flashing a trace of complexity and rejection, but they also knew that their master's will could not be changed by anyone.
