Chapter 1375 - 1372: Mysterious Sect, Three Factions

Chu Hao put away the Great Desolate Fire Halberd and took out the Black Ancient Gold Knife.

This time, Chu Hao's power exploded to the extreme; it was a clash of forces.

Upon contact, Chu Hao immediately felt a devastating force that was hard to resist. His arm went numb, and blood flowed from the tiger's mouth.

So painful!!

Chu Hao felt sweetness in his throat, almost coughing up blood, but he held it back.

However, the middle-aged man was also shocked as the sharpness of the Black Ancient Gold Knife directly left a knife mark on his heavy ruler, the runes on the heavy ruler shattered.

"What!"

The middle-aged man was shocked; he knew too well the level of this heavy ruler, yet a knife left a crack?

Chu Hao's long knife kept slicing, fast and ruthless, leaving the middle-aged man holding the heavy ruler unable to block, only able to hold the heavy ruler in front.

"Clang clang!"

Sparks flew everywhere.

The middle-aged man found that knife marks continued to appear on the heavy ruler, and he couldn't see the runes clearly.

It could only be said that this knife was incredibly sharp.

"Not good." The middle-aged man blocked Chu Hao's strike, forcing him back, then turned and ran.

His entire power came from the heavy ruler; now that the runes on the heavy ruler were damaged, his power would certainly be greatly reduced.

At this point in the battle, how could Chu Hao let his opponent go?

He erupted with Shadow Concealing Step and pursued.

"Die!"

Chu Hao was full of killing intent; the Shadow Concealing Step was too fast; he caught up in an instant, holding the knife with both hands, and fiercely stabbed out.

This stab was too fast, Chu Hao used all his strength.

The middle-aged man hurriedly used the heavy ruler to block.

"Crack!"

In the middle-aged man's incredulous gaze, the heavy ruler was pierced by the knife?

"Puchi"

The stab directly pierced through the opponent's body.

"You!! This is a Heaven-level Yang Soldiers."

The middle-aged man vomited blood violently, too unwilling, and fell to the ground.

Chu Hao pulled out the knife, sneered coldly in his heart, originally wanting to leave but suddenly his Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils noticed a dim gray soul on the corpse.

The middle-aged man's soul?

Died unwillingly, was it going to turn into a Fierce Ghost?

No, it seemed not, the opponent's soul was hiding inside the corpse, seemingly intentionally concealing itself.

However, it was still discovered by Chu Hao.

He performed a simple Soul Extraction Technique, directly grabbing the opponent's soul out of the corpse.

The cluster of soul was weak, struggling desperately in Chu Hao's hand.

The opponent pleaded in panic, "Don't kill me, please don't kill me."

Chu Hao strangely asked, "Are you a ghost?"

The middle-aged man's soul hurriedly said, "I'm not a ghost, this is my soul, only those in the Great Advancement King Realm possess souls, different from ghosts."

At this moment, the toad came over and said, "It's a human soul, although different from a ghost, if a human soul stays in the Human World for too long, it will also turn into a ghost."

"This is the advantage of high cultivation; after death, as long as the human soul doesn't perish, it can live as a ghost, choose reincarnation, or become a true Ghost Cultivator," said the toad.

So that's how it is.

Once cultivation reaches a certain degree, it is called higher life, surpassing ordinary life by a lot.

Chu Hao scavenged everything from the corpse and left the place.

The middle-aged man's name was Ma Ruyun, now he was at the end of the road, his fate controlled by Chu Hao.

Chu Hao held Ma Ruyun and said lightly, "How did you know where I was?"

Ma Ruyun dared not lie, Chu Hao's mere thought could turn him into dust and ash, and honestly replied, "Someone is calculating your location, wherever you escape, you will be found."

So that's how it is.

That was dangerous.

Chu Hao had to find a way to hide his location.

Chu Hao: "System, is there anything recommended to avoid others' calculations?"

System: "Recommend Host to purchase Deception Talisman Jade, requires payment of four hundred thousand Pretentiousness Points."

"Exchange all Merit Points, then purchase."

"Ding... Host purchased the Deception Talisman Jade, consuming four hundred thousand Pretentiousness Points."

Carrying this talisman jade can avoid the calculations of Yin-Yang Diviners.

Chu Hao originally intended to kill Ma Ruyun but thought it better to keep him around to extract information, and asked, "When did the news about me having the Ancient Technique spread?"

Ma Ruyun's soul said, "Just two days ago."

Two days ago, which was when he separated from Su Yao.

Chu Hao asked, "You all said that old Diviner is really that divine?"

Ma Ruyun nodded and said, "He is indeed divine, many in the Sanctuary sought him for calculations, he once calculated the demise of a realm, and that realm indeed perished according to his calculated time."

Chu Hao thought about it and felt something was amiss.

If the old Diviner had calculated he could obtain the Ancient Technique, why didn't he say so earlier?

Why wait until after he separated from Su Yao?

Perhaps it wasn't the old Diviner who said it, but Su Yanran, simply because that woman wanted him dead, and no contact with Su Yao.

Probably, Chu Hao couldn't figure out why; all this was Su Yao's setup.

Chu Hao asked, "I ask you, do you know if a red flying boat came in recently?"

Ma Ruyun nodded slightly and said, "I know about the red flying boat you mentioned; anyone you ask knows; it's the vehicle of the Witch from Tongtian Island, Su Yanran."

Tongtian Island?

Chu Hao inquired about the origins of Tongtian Island.

Ma Ruyun, being experienced, knew many things; after all, reaching the King Realm is not simple, only Chu Hao is too abnormal.

"Tongtian Island is one of the three forces of the Mysterious Sect, which together founded the Shanhai Alliance."

"Tongtian Island, Luanxing Sea, Western Desert Temple; these three forces are not inferior to the so-called Sacred Land, and even exist for a more ancient, terrifying foundation."

"Rumor has it, these three forces were created by survivors from the dark times, ancient and powerful."

"As long as the three forces of the Mysterious Sect are willing, they can influence the entire Shanhai Realm's layout; even the Sacred Land needs them to call itself Sacred Land."

"One reason they are so formidable is controlling the crucial gate; anyone wishing to step into the King Realm must gain the Mysterious Sect's consent."

Chu Hao had heard that the Mysterious Sect controlled the King Realm gate of the Shanhai Realm; those from the Sacred Land who want to advance to the King Realm also needed their consent.

This is the Mysterious Sect, their presence enveloping the Shanhai Realm, everywhere with their spies, as the Shanhai Platform was created by the Mysterious Sect.

Chu Hao was amazed to find there were others stronger than the Sacred Land, yet the Sacred Land was already strong.

Of course, there are forces capable of contending with the Mysterious Sect, such as the ghosts.

For example, the strongest Ghost Emperor, known as the First Ghost Emperor, reigning supreme, establishing a Ghost Realm.

Also, there's the Shanhai Netherworld, mysterious and unfathomable, who've been at war with the Ghost Emperor for too long.

In comparison, Chu Hao seemed too insignificant; no wonder the Heavenly Bone Woman once said, "The Shanhai Realm is unfathomable unless you are strong enough."

Chu Hao was worried that now everyone knew he possessed the Ancient Technique, unaware of the kind of pursuers it would attract.

King Realm is manageable, what about Emperor Realm, Sanctuary?

Chu Hao dared not imagine.

"Alright, let's send you on your way."

Ma Ruyun was terrified, regretting ever seeking out Chu Hao.

With a pinch, Chu Hao made Ma Ruyun's soul scream in agony, turning to dust and ash directly.
