Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 756: Offering Treasures

What!

Jin Dongli’s eyeballs nearly popped out of his head. "To save your own skin, you actually sold me out?"

Yes, I indeed have faults, but are you completely innocent?

"Young Master Shi, spare my life! Young Master Shi, spare my life!" Jin Dongli had no ground to refute because it was indeed he who had first offended Shi Hao, and even sought help from the He Family. How could he shift this blame?

"Big brother, let me take care of these two," Han Dong came over.

He couldn’t take on the strong enemies for Shi Hao, but such trivial matters did not require Shi Hao’s personal attention, lest Shi Hao’s hands be soiled.

Shi Hao was indifferent and turned to enter the house.

"Young Master Shi! Young Master Shi!" Behind him, the uncle and nephew of the Jin family continued to shout, vainly hoping Shi Hao would speak up to spare them.

Han Dong unsheathed his blade, and with a "pu pu" sound, decapitated the pair of uncle and nephew.

As for the aftermath, naturally, Shi Hao need not worry; Xiao Hei, Han Dong, and the others would handle everything properly.

However, the fall of a Great Sacrificial Heaven powerhouse, what kind of uproar would that cause?

The powers within the city were all on high alert, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Was this a sign of changing times?

But if even the Great Sacrificial Heaven powerhouses were not their match, what could they do despite their worries and fears?

Dare they come over to inquire?

On the contrary, the He Family was delighted.

Because He Heng had made connections with Shi Hao.

Through He Heng’s account, they had learned that Shi Hao was the renowned Asura of the Great Void Realm, and such an exceptional genius, would he be content to dominate in this small city?

That’s a joke.

Moreover, from the cause and effect narrated by He Heng, it was clear that the Jin Family was deliberately causing trouble.

Look, Shi Hao just wanted to sell a Formation, and Jin Dongli insulted him first. After being lightly punished—light, considering Shi Hao’s status as the number one in the Supplementing Divine Temple—Jin Dongli refused to let it go and went to instigate He Heng against Shi Hao.

Luckily, luckily, He Heng recognized Shi Hao. Otherwise, by now, the He Family would probably have followed in the footsteps of the Zhang Family.

Just think, it’s frightening. A Seven-Star power almost fell apart just like that.

"Prepare a hundred thousand Spirit Stones and purchase that Formation," the He Family Patriarch immediately decided.

To him, the true value of the Three Kings’ Tai Ah Formation in Spirit Stones was not important; what mattered was to build a good relationship with Shi Hao.

In the future, once Shi Hao reached the Absolute Summit, with this connection, which power wouldn’t treat the He Family with respect?

"Yes," He Heng quickly nodded.

"No, I will go with you," after some thought, the He Family Patriarch decided to show sincerity and personally make the trip.

He led the team himself, carrying a large amount of Spirit Stones, and went to Shi Hao’s villa.

"Greetings, Lord Asura!" He Heng immediately said respectfully.

The He Family Patriarch also bowed, saying, "I’ve seen Young Master Shi!"

Despite Shi Hao’s youth, he was the first in the Supplementing Divine Temple, and to kill them, just one punch was all he needed.

Therefore, his attitude was naturally very respectful.

Shi Hao smiled and said, "No need to be so polite, you are now my clients, and in this world, the client is paramount."

The head of the He Family kept saying he didn’t dare, joking. The other party was a superb demon who could knock down the Supplementing Divine Temple with a single punch.

Eventually, Shi Hao refused the He Family head’s offer to purchase the Formation for one hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

He was selling the Formation legitimately, not like some thuggish ruffian who bullied and tyrannized the market.

Besides, was his face only worth fifty thousand Spirit Stones?

This left the He Family head feeling somewhat regretful. If Shi Hao had accepted an additional fifty thousand Spirit Stones, the relationship between them would have been very close.

Even so, he felt satisfied.

—While other forces could only tremble, the He Family had managed to build a connection with Shi Hao, who else could compare?

However, the He Family head obviously only heard about Shi Hao’s awesomeness from He Heng, but he didn’t know that Shi Hao had seriously offended an Almighty of the Heaven Building Ladder. If the news leaked out, there was no need for Venerable Shuanghua to make a move, as there would be enough people wanting to suck up to the Almighty, ready to wipe out the He Family.

Therefore, the He Family head also tried his best to build a good relationship with Shi Hao; he warmly invited Shi Hao to visit the He Family.

Since Xiao Hei and the others had already found some clues about the seven Great Medicines in the Great Void Realm, Shi Hao planned to stay in the area for a while. Having nothing better to do, he agreed to go for a visit.

"Young Master Shi, the new head of the Zhang Family seeks an audience," reported a servant of the He Family to Shi Hao, not long after he settled down.

Shi Hao was surprised: The new head of the Zhang Family had made a special trip to the He Family to see him?

He looked towards the He Family head, guessing this matter must be related to him.

The He Family head quickly said, "Indeed, the new head of the Zhang Family mentioned this to me, but I never agreed. This was his own initiative."

This was naturally to clear up the relationship; if Shi Hao bore a grudge, wouldn’t that make all the previous efforts go to waste?

Shi Hao gave a faint smile and said, "Since he’s here, let him come over. I want to see what tricks he’s planning to play."

It wasn’t long before the head of the Zhang Family arrived.

He had indeed just taken over the family, and these past few days must have been tremendously hectic, judging by the unhidden signs of fatigue.

"I’ve come to pay my respects to Young Master Shi," greeted the new head of the Zhang Family to Shi Hao with a salute.

Although they were both from the Supplementing Divine Temple, his respect was immense, as if Shi Hao were a powerhouse of the Great Sacrificial Heaven.

Shi Hao waved his hand and said, "Don’t waste my time. Speak your piece."

"Yes," nodded the head of the Zhang Family. He took out an object wrapped in cloth and handed it over to Shi Hao, "The Zhang Family has offended Young Master Shi, and Zhong Kong is extremely troubled and unable to rest. He has brought a treasure as an offering, hoping for Young Master Shi’s forgiveness. Inside is a map, along with a key that can unlock an ancient relic."

"However, please be cautious, Young Master Shi. This relic is suspected to be left behind by an ancient powerhouse, and it’s incredibly dangerous."

Shi Hao took the object and unfolded it to look. Indeed, inside was a key and a map, both of which exuded an ancient aura.

"I’ve received the items. You may go," he said.

"Yes," the head of the Zhang Family replied, his demeanor submissive. Although Shi Hao had made no promises, he left without any complaints.

However, once he was outside the He Family’s residence, the head of the Zhang Family’s expression turned grim.

"That really is an ancient relic. My Zhang Family rose to prominence from that very place after acquiring a Cultivation Technique. We went from a small clan to where we are today."

"Nevertheless, it is full of dangers. Over the generations, our clan’s powerhouses have ventured there, and even with the guidance of our ancestors, the toll has been heavy with many injuries and deaths."

"The young man has no guidance. If he becomes entranced by the treasures within the ancient relic and attempts to seize them, he will have only one path: death."

"You killed a powerhouse of our Zhang Family from the Great Sacrificial Heaven, causing our family to plummet from its peak. This enmity, I must avenge!"

—Although it wasn’t Shi Hao who killed the patriarch of the Zhang Family, they naturally blamed it on Shi Hao.

"I will follow behind you. If you are gravely injured but not dead, I will deliver a final blow to end you!"

"And if you happen to unlock more treasures, they will serve as a dowry for me!"
