Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 858: Meddling in Others’ Business

Shi Hao lightly pressed his hand, and instantly, everyone realized they seemed to be under a Freezing Spell, unable to move an inch.

They were appalled; this young man was too terrifying, how strong was he?

Shi Hao smiled slightly, "Please give me some face, everyone!"

He released the restriction.

"Leave!" The attacking group hurriedly fled in disarray, the disparity in power was too great, leaving them without the courage to fight.

"Thank you, benefactor, for your assistance!" The two elders quickly bowed to Shi Hao, showing great respect and gratitude.

However, the young man seemed a bit disgruntled, Shi Hao clearly had the ability to detain those perpetrators, why not fully perform the good deed?

But he wasn’t too foolish; knowing he had no right to question Shi Hao, he reluctantly suppressed such dissatisfaction.

Shi Hao raised his hand, gesturing for the two elders to stand up.

"Benefactor, please help us once more!" An elder suddenly knelt down again, "Our Young Master is the direct descendant of the Chi Family in Qingzhou, and the only bloodline! If the benefactor helps the Young Master reclaim the position of City Lord, we will surely repay you handsomely!"

Shi Hao showed little interest, but since it’s all about experiencing life, he asked, "Explain in detail."

"Yes."

The two elders exchanged glances, both deeply moved.

This Qingzhou is a city under the rule of the Wild Cloud Kingdom, managed by the Chi Family for generations because their ancestor once fought alongside the founding King of the Kingdom, later inheriting the position of City Lord of Qingzhou as a reward.

However, in recent decades, the Chi Family not only dwindled in numbers but also found it hard to produce talent.

Finally, the Chi’s Vice General suddenly betrayed them, slaughtering the entire family, with only Chi Tianfeng escaping death due to being away at the time. Afterward, two loyal servants escorted him away, but they were chased down by the Vice General’s men, resulting in a bloody battle.

Now, these two loyal servants want Shi Hao to intervene, help Chi Tianfeng reclaim Qingzhou and kill the traitor.

After all, Chi Tianfeng is truly the Young Master; as long as he appears in public, he should be able to reclaim command of the army.

After listening, Shi Hao couldn’t help but shake his head.

"Do you really think, why would Vice General Guan revolt?" He asked, "Everything here belongs to the Wild Cloud Kingdom, what can Vice General Guan gain by exterminating the Chi Family, can he replace them?"

This question left the two old servants stunned, what does it mean, they couldn’t comprehend it for a moment.

"Fools!" The Purple Gold Rat spoke out, pointing fingers, "It’s certainly your Emperor who wants Qingzhou back, that’s why Vice General Guan acted! Whether it’s true or not, you’ll just have to observe the next reaction from the Royal Family."

"Vice General Guan will surely claim that the Chi Family was wiped out by bandits, and the Royal Family will perfunctorily send someone to investigate, then validate Vice General Guan’s claim before rewarding him with the position of City Lord, and the matter will be settled."

"But from now on, the succession of the Qingzhou City Lord would no longer be hereditary but appointed by the Royal Family."

Upon hearing this, the two elders were shocked.

Could it really be that dark?

But they indeed couldn’t understand why Vice General Guan would rebel, unless he wanted to take to the hills as a bandit; otherwise, it made no sense.

Now, everything makes sense.

There’s involvement from the Emperor’s supreme powers.

——If the Emperor wants to forcibly reclaim the hereditary rights of the Chi Family, it’s tantamount to being unfilial to the ancestors and disheartening to the masses, for treating initial contributors this way.

So, instead, just wipe them out, preserving honor while getting things done.

What a clever tactic!

The two old servants trembled with fear; in this way, does the Chi Family still have any hope for revenge or resurgence?

What’s next? Just wait.

Shi Hao planned to assess Chi Tianfeng’s character, and if he was suitable, he wouldn’t mind accepting him as a register disciple. With his guidance, the other’s cultivation would progress at an astonishing speed, soon reaching Self-Observation and Founding King Court, thus being able to avenge the Chi Family.

Of course, the Kingdom’s ruler’s strength should have reached the Great Sacrificial Heaven, but he’d have to wait a few more years for an opportunity.

Meanwhile, Shi Hao is also about to break through to the Fifth Sacrifice.

Three days later, he began his seclusion.

Actually, breaking through to the Great Sacrificial Heaven is a passive process; it depends entirely on your accumulation. If the accumulation is enough, a sacrificial offering could move the heavens, allowing the Power of Heaven and Earth to temper, thereby completing the breakthrough; otherwise, it fails, taking away all comprehension, as if returning to the beginning of the Fourth Sacrifice, needing to start anew.

Shi Hao was confident in himself; his comprehension was sufficient.

He ascended the sacrificial platform and began offering sacrifices.

When his martial arts insights were completely relinquished, the feedback from Heaven and Earth immediately came pouring in.

Boom, another completely new transformation.

Pop, pop, pop, Shi Hao’s body kept sending out explosive sounds, bones, internal organs, and flesh, all undergoing comprehensive evolution.

After another ten days, the tempering of the Power of Heaven and Earth was complete, Shi Hao stepped into the Fifth Sacrifice.

Shi Hao sensed his power, his soul lightly touched, and rules wrapped around his hand like fine threads, invisible to outsiders.

Sufficient to rival Ascending to Saint Position or even suppress it.

Shi Hao went over to check on Chi Tianfeng and the others, finding them all dumbfounded, displaying a look of utter despair.

——Indeed, everything happened as the Purple Gold Rat had said, Vice General Guan issued an announcement claiming the Chi Family was wiped out by bandits, and reported to the Imperial Court, requesting troops for bandit suppression.

The Wild Cloud Kingdom also dispatched an envoy to investigate the case, reaching the same conclusion as Vice General Guan.

Because the city couldn’t be without a lord for a day, Vice General Guan temporarily assumed the position of City Lord.

It’s a conspiracy, an outright conspiracy.

Even if Chi Tianfeng was just fifteen years old, he clearly saw that the Chi Family was a scapegoat, and the real murderer was not Vice General Guan but the current Emperor.

What to do?

Who can oppose the Emperor?

This hatred cannot be avenged.

Moreover, from now on, Chi Tianfeng would have to conceal his identity and cannot claim to be a member of the Chi Family; otherwise, he’ll be silenced.

How desperate is that?

Shi Hao simply laughed and said, "Want revenge? It’s simple. I’ll teach you martial arts, and once you cultivate to the Great Sacrificial Heaven, you can seek the Emperor for retribution yourself."

These words nearly made the two old servants sit down in shock.

It’s against the tide, utterly against the tide.

Chi Tianfeng’s eyes lit up, looking at Shi Hao, "You can make me stronger than the current Emperor?"

"Easy." Shi Hao smiled.

"Good, then I’ll be your disciple." Chi Tianfeng was about to kneel.

Shi Hao extended his hand and lifted him up, "Whether you want to be my disciple lies with you, but whether I accept you depends on me. So, if you want to be my disciple, you need to prove your qualifications first."

"Good, whatever test comes my way, I’ll definitely pass it!" Chi Tianfeng appeared confident.

"Then don’t cry afterward." Shi Hao tapped his head.
