Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 773: The Real Culprit

However, there was still the limitation that one had to be able to afford and use a special helmet.

With that, it would eliminate ninety-nine percent of people.

This thing indeed costs a fortune to maintain.

Moreover, this person was very familiar with Gu Shantong, knowing exactly when he would hold a feast in the tavern.

This further screening reduced the number to just seven people.

—A few collateral descendants of the Gu family and friends of Gu Shantong.

Shi Hao sneaked into the Gu family and directly took action to capture them.

Overnight, all seven were captured, knocked unconscious and thrown into the Immortal Abode.

Then, he went outside the city to interrogate them one by one.

Under the Seven Apertures Heart-Locking Technique, no one could last more than ten breaths, spilling all their secrets.

Indeed, Xiao Bai was one of them, with his real name being Tao Gang.

"Tao Gang?" Purple Gold Rat frowned on the side, "That’s a terribly sleazy name."

Shi Hao gave it a glare, can you be serious for once?

Besides, it’s not like he dug into your bottom.

"Why did you do this?" Shi Hao asked indifferently.

Tao Gang clenched his teeth, trying to endure, but he couldn’t hold on and said, "Gu Shantong murdered my fiancée, I want revenge!"

Shi Hao was surprised, "He committed such a heinous act, and you still befriended him?"

"I did it to get close to him, to wait for the right moment for revenge!" Tao Gang said, "Now, I’ve succeeded!"

Shi Hao scoffed, "Do you think you are very noble?"

"Indeed, I masterminded the death of Gu Shantong, a member of the eight-star power!" Tao Gang said proudly.

Shi Hao shook his head, "You are not only a coward but also a sinister hypocrite. You didn’t dare to confront Gu Shantong directly, but instead, you schemed against people. If I were just from the Founding King Court, wouldn’t I have been killed by you?"

"Using others to take the lead while hiding and reaping the benefits yourself, so you are a sinister little man, a coward."

"I am not." Tao Gang still wanted to defend himself, but his tone was extremely weak.

"Where is the Return Origin Fruit?" Shi Hao did not bother to argue with him. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Tao Gang gritted his teeth and wouldn’t speak; he knew it was his lifeline.

But when Shi Hao applied the Seven Apertures Heart-Locking Technique again, he couldn’t hold on any longer and immediately said, "I saw it in the Gu Family. Initially, Gu Shantong bragged and took us on a trip to the Gu Family’s Treasure Repository. I have the best memory and never forget anything I’ve laid my eyes on."

So, after going around in circles, he had to return to the Gu Family.

However, there was an Almighty residing in Saintly Position at the Gu Family, thus, this time, his father had to take action.

Shi Hao slapped Tao Gang to death and then went back to request Shi Feng’s assistance.

Concerned about his daughter-in-law’s life, Shi Feng naturally had to act immediately.

He arrived at the Gu Family, releasing a powerful aura that enveloped the entire Gu Family.

"Which fellow Daoist has arrived? Please forgive this old man for not welcoming you from afar." In the Gu Family, an aura similarly soared to the sky, clashing with Shi Feng’s aura.

Shi Feng’s intention was to lure the tiger away from the mountain. He calmly said, "Come out and fight me. If you win, I will turn around and leave, otherwise, I will dismantle your Gu Family."

The Almighty from the Gu Family, also in Saintly Position, naturally became furious upon hearing this.

With his great-grandsons’ corpses still warm and a mysterious powerful opponent challenging them, what sins had the Gu Family committed?

"Then let us fight." He soared into the sky. If they fought here, the residual power from the battle of those in the Saintly Position would flatten the Gu Family.

Shi Feng followed, and from within the Gu Family, two other silhouettes rose to the sky to watch the battle.

These were two Great Sacrificial Heaven powerhouses.

Good, all the powerhouses had left.

Shi Hao strode forth, entering the Gu Family.

"Who goes there!"

"How dare you intrude into the Gu Family!"

"Seeking death!"

Shi Hao faced resistance, but without a Great Sacrificial Heaven fighter stationed there, who could stop him?

He walked all the way as if strolling through a leisurely courtyard, easily reaching the Gu Family’s Treasure Repository.

There were heavily armed guards there, but what use were they in front of Shi Hao?

Shi Hao stood in front of the treasury and struck it, but the treasury was protected by a Formation. To break through, it would take at least half a day.

"Xiao Hei, it’s your turn."

"I am the Heavenly Emperor!" the Purple Gold Rat emphasized, and whoosh, like air, it directly passed through the Formation and entered the treasury.

It began moving things out at an astonishing speed.

Since it had acted, naturally, it would not take only the Return Origin Fruit. It was moving everything it saw, practically emptying the Gu Family’s repository.

Shi Hao was unapologetic, considering this as his reward for ridding the people of a menace.

In no time at all, the Purple Gold Rat had emptied the Treasure Repository.

"Let’s go."

Shi Hao and the Purple Gold Rat left, and soon after, Shi Feng returned too.

——The ancestor of the Gu Family had already reached the peak of Ascending to Saint Position, while Shi Feng had just stepped into this realm. However, with his astonishing martial arts talent, he managed not to lose to the Gu Family’s elder, fought to a draw, and then casually left.

Now, the old ancestor of the Gu Family must know that he had been tricked and was furious.

The two men and a mouse took stock of their loot, all somewhat astonished.

The Gu Family was truly wealthy!

Not only did they have the Cultivation Resources needed by Shi Hao and the Purple Gold Rat, but even Shi Feng found items useful to him.

They divided the spoils and then each began cultivating.

Of the seven types of Great Medicine, two had been obtained. Auxiliary medicines were easier to acquire, and as long as one was willing to spend money, they could be purchased at a drug store.

So, Shi Hao waited for Xiao Bai’s news and began to close himself off to refine the benefits he had received.

But he and the Purple Gold Rat were oddities, refining resources at an alarmingly fast rate. In just three days, they had refined all the resources, leaving only those not suited for them.

It was almost the latter stages near the Supplementing Divine Temple.

Shi Hao revealed a smile, indeed, without unexpected fortune one cannot become rich, nor can a horse fatten on wild grass alone, but why labor in cultivation when robbery was so much easier?

However, such opportunities were rare after all.

Usually, major powers wouldn’t use a Treasure Repository, but would directly store everything in a Spatial Spirit Tool carried by powerful individuals, which was truly safe and also saved manpower and material resources.

Two days later, Shi Hao received another piece of good news.

The third type of Great Medicine had been found.

At Xuanhe Star, a martial contest was about to be held, and the reward for first place was this Great Medicine—the Golden Underworld Vine.

However, what made Shi Hao frown was that the competition was limited to participants from the Founding King Court.

Wasn’t this making things difficult for him?

"Young Master Shi, we will fight for you," both Xiao Hei and Yue Feifei said.

Shi Hao thought it over and agreed. Xiao Hei was a Sword Body, and Yue Feifei possessed the Nine Serenities Frozen Physique, both exceptionally unique constitutions.

Well, if they could not win the crown, then he would just have to turn to robbery once more.

This was a lifesaving measure, and Shi Hao naturally would not be rigid about it.

They set off.

He first went to meet with Xiao Hei and Yue Feifei, took them into the Immortal Abode, and then began traversing the Universe.

In this way, they could save money and protect Xiao Hei and them from the stress of teleportation, significantly saving time.

Four days later, they arrived at Xuanhe Star.
