Chapter 327

Chapter 327 – Ancient Palace

The Wasteland Heavenly Lord declared war against Shi Yi! This shook the entire capital!

The news was extremely shocking, but it could not be considered too sudden either . It was because everyone knew that these two supreme youths would inevitably fight . It was unavoidable .

There were grudges between the two that would not easily dissipate .

These things were too shocking . One of them was originally a natural born supreme being, but his bone was gouged out and his body left to wither to death . He was originally supposed to have disappeared like the wind, but a decade later, he reappeared and furthermore rose into greatness . It was just like a miracle .

Moreover, for Shi Yi, everyone was even more familiar with the circumstances . After understanding the secrets that had been kept for so many years, everyone’s thoughts were shaken . Not only was he dual-pupiled, he even had a supreme being bone . It was clear that he would reach an unfathomable level .

Would Shi Hao even be able to put up a fight? Everyone was doubtful .

After all, Shi Yi had entered the ancient sacred courtyard and no knew when he would be able to come out . Even though everyone had speculated that he had already left, they still had not seen any activity themselves .

Shi Yi, do you dare to fight?!

Unfortunately, no one was there to accept his challenge, because the dual-pupiled individual never appeared and no one knew where he was . The Martial Imperial Manor’s people’s expressions were ugly, and some of them clenched their fists .

“There will be a day when Yi’er returns and gives him a good beating!” There were some who were furious and full of reconciliation .

“I believe that Yi’er will be the one unrivalled under the heavens . His cultivation will definitely surpass the ancients and dazzle this era!”

The Martial Imperial Manor’s people muttered among themselves . Most of the people who remained were experts from Shi Yi’s bloodline . In life, there were times when it was difficult to turn back once a decision was made .

The days passed one after another just like that . Shi Hao waited half a month, but still did not receive any news . He sighed, because he could only leave now .

I am ready to fight at any time whenever you return! This was the sentence that Shi Hao left behind before going on his way .

While he had decided to leave, Stone Country was extremely unsettled . In particular, there was a lot of hidden activity around the capital, with extremely powerful cultivators entering and exiting .

There was even someone who invited an assassin to risk it all!

During that battle, Shi Hao killed two supreme experts . However, after everyone considered everything, it definitely wasn’t through his own strength, as he was relying on some trump cards . However, it definitely couldn’t have unrestricted uses, so there were many powerful forces that wanted to test him out .

A noble king this young made many people unsettled!

Together with the Rain Clan, Tuoba Family, Archaic Divine Mountains and others that bore hostility against him, a great disturbance was inevitable . A slaughter was going to occur .

Unfortunately, these people were disappointed . Shi Hao left soundlessly, and not even the Thunder Clan saw him off, nor did Lord Huntian see him leave . He had quietly left a long time ago .

The streets around Stone Country were immediately packed with figures in search of him, but they still did not find him in the end .

Shi Hao left . His departure went unnoticed, with no one knowing where he went . As for what the Human Emperor bestowed upon him, and the cultivation resources he would obtain in the future, it didn’t stop him in the slightest . He still left on a long journey .

This kind of result made many people speechless . He completely distanced himself from the precarious situation and left all these people’s plans go up into thin air .

…

It was a vast palace, and there were rare stones set all about that flowed with the fluctuations of divine force . It was just like a stellar sky, drawing more interest the longer one gazed at it .

Suddenly, a bizarre fluctuation appeared, and an enormous ancient beast skin streaked across the air . It suddenly emerged and suspended itself within the great hall .

Shi Hao was sitting on top . His eyes were opened wide as he revealed an expression of amazement before this ancient palace .

He jumped off the beast skin in an agile manner and stood within the palace hall . He raised his head and looked around at what was like a sea of stars .

“This must be an important location of the Fire Nation,” Shi Hao said to himself .

This time, he received help from Huo’Ling’er . After receiving the coordinates, he directly traveled across the void to reach this place .

In fear of his daughter suffering from any unusual events, her father carved a few coordinates on the Void Beast skin . Without the need for one to do anything themselves other than activate it, it would directly proceed towards the pre-established destination .

During his departure, Huo Ling’er personally activated it and sent Shi Hao directly here .

As for Huo Ling’er, because she still had some things to take care of, so she temporarily didn’t leave Stone Country’s capital . In really, it was mostly because she didn’t want people to find out that Shi Hao entered Fire Nation .

At this moment, the ten heavenly passage Shi Hao possessed were definitely the focus of everyone’s attention . All the major powers were paying close attention to him, and neither Shi Hao or Huo Ling’er wanted others to know about this . Naturally, the old servants that assisted Huo Ling’er wouldn’t leak out information .

No one was able to discover any traces when he left .

This ancient palace within the Fire Nation was extremely peaceful . It was extremely spacious, and only the sounds of his own footsteps could be heard .

He finally walked out into the great wastelands, and a huge desert stretched out before him . Other than this vast ancient palace, there were no other constructs .

“You are from that imperial manor, right? Why did you come so late? The others have already entered . ” Suddenly, an elder appeared . There wasn’t much expression on his face, but his tone clearly sounded discontent .

Shi Hao was shocked . Was there some kind of misunderstanding?

Not far away, a young man appeared . Fiery red armor covered his body, and fiery light surrounded him . He seemed exceptionally powerful .

“I am not a descendant of the Fire Nation,” Shi Hao explained .

When the elder heard this, he frowned and shot him a look . “You aren’t my clan’s child, but it seems like your aptitude isn’t bad . Otherwise, how could you receive this kind of opportunity?”

The young man had fair white skin . While standing within the fiery light, he asked, “Who sent you here?”

“Princess Huo Ling’er . ” Shi Hao replied truthfully .

“Turns out it was that sister of mine!” When the young man spoke this sentence, Shi Hao felt a wave of fiery heat . The flames around the young man’s body became a bit more exuberant .

“Hurry up and go inside . Since the princess sent you, don’t make her disappointed . If you encounter someone from outside the region, it is better to avoid conflicts if possible to preserve your life . ”

Shi Hao was stumped for words . He felt like the misunderstanding might have gotten worse .

“Imperial younger sister has always been doted on by my father the emperor, so who knows if the people she brings in are reliable . I just hope that you aren’t a total mess and do something stupid . ” That young man sneered . Two streaks of fiery light shot out from his pupils as he watched Shi Hao intently . There was a hint of ridicule and cold intent .

Shi Hao was extremely calm . After experiencing so much, he naturally wouldn’t be flustered by these words . He could feel that this young man was extremely jealous of his sister and did not have any good intentions .

Multicolored lights flashed, and symbols lit up within the great palace .

“Ling’er sister’s person? So young, and not that special . Don’t get killed by some youngsters from outside this region as soon as you enter and disgrace my Fire Nation’s reputation . ”

“You look quite delicate and pretty . I just fear that you won’t be able to handle all the tossing and turning inside, heh!”

It was evident that these were two princesses . The competition between them seemed quite fierce, so they weren’t that friendly .

“Alright, you can go inside,” the elder said .

Shi Hao frowned but didn’t reply in the end . Regardless of whether Huo Ling’er had any ulterior motives, she did help him before, so he was going inside to take a look and lend her a hand .

“Brother Sixteen, don’t you want to go inside and show off your talents?” A young lady asked .

“Of course I’m going . I’m just waiting for my person to arrive,” the young man replied .

“Hehe, our people haven’t arrived either and aren’t in a rush to enter . ” The two girls laughed while talking .

Shi Hao didn’t say anything and had long turned around to head into the depths of the desert . His figure turned into a small speck and disappeared from the horizon .

“He just directly entered like that without taking any detours? Is he really ridiculously shocking or just stupid? Is he trying to die?” A cold grin appeared on the corner of the young man in scarlet armor .

“Who knows, he might actually be an expert who can force his way in . ” A young lady smiled and spoke .

“What a joke!” The scarlet-clothed young man shook his head .

Suddenly, a fiery radiance erupted and a large sun appeared . It was crimson like blood, but also so dazzling that it was difficult to look at .

“Third grandfather!” The three imperial children immediately greeted him with respect .

“Did a young man just enter?” An aged voice sounded from within the great sun .

“Yes . The one who entered just now was the one chosen by Huo Ling’er . ”

“I’ve obtained some news . There might be some kind of misunderstanding…” The sound transmitted from within the great sun was vague and ambiguous . If one didn’t listen carefully, they wouldn’t have heard clearly .

“Third grandfather, what’s wrong?” The three of them asked .

“There might be some unforeseen events inside, and some disturbances might arise . I fear that there will be excessive casualties . ” The elder within the great sun spoke softly, and a type of intense energy fluctuated outwards .

“No matter how powerful the people outside this region are, they still won’t dare to be too excessive, right?” The young man in scarlet clothes frowned as he spoke .

“What I fear is that many of those from outside this region are the ones that will die . ” The elder spoke softly before turning around and leaving . The large resplendent sun floated and took to the skies . A weak voice transmitted over . “This is still fine, needs to be a bit more powerful and fierce anyway . ”

“What did third grandfather mean?” The people that were left behind were confused . Even the elder that guarded this area couldn’t completely understand the situation .

“When the rest of our group arrives, let’s also enter . Even though there is some danger, and the people from outside this region are powerful, this also implies that this will be a great opportunity . ” One of the imperial princesses spoke .

The desert was extremely grand and massive . Shi Hao felt like something wasn’t right as soon as he travelled roughly ten li . The earth beneath his feet was getting hotter and hotter, making the soles of his feet burn a bit .

When Shi Hao left the capital, a crack in the void appeared in the Heaven Mending Pavilion ruins . Strands of primordial energy swirled about, as if someone was forcefully trying to tear apart space to come out .

However, as the mist drifted about, the area became peaceful again . Buth then, another part of space split open a bit .

This area was unsteady, and these splits would open up from time to time . It was almost as if a door was going to open up at any time that connected to that ancient small world .

“It seems like we still have to wait a few days . Yi’er is finally about to appear . ”

If it was Shi Hao that was here, he definitely would have been astonished, because there was an enormous golden spider within these ruins . His aura was terrifying, like that of an ancient fossil as he quietly rested here .

Rumor has it that the ancestor of the Demonic Spirit Lake was a golden spider that ultimately turned into a deity!

This was obviously not that deity, because they had declined too much as the years went by . This was the master of the Demonic Spirit Lake, and also Shi Ziteng’s ancestral teacher who he paid his respects to several years ago . He was protecting the entrance for Shi Yi’s sake .

It had always stayed here during this period of time . Even when he received news that the Black Eyed Demonic Spider supreme expert was killed, he did not leave and still protected this place .

A dual-pupiled individual with a supreme being bone even made the Demonic Spirit Lake’s master lower his superiority . It did not want someone to take advantage of Shi Yi when he came out .
