Chapter 1382 - 1379: Tremendous Upheaval

Fang Mu wanted to please Chu Hao, as his life was in the hands of others, and he quickly said, "Probably not, these people are key targets for cultivation and have life-protecting treasures. They might escape or may not have entered."

Chu Hao stroked his chin.

He scavenged the battlefield, discarding anything useless found by the treasure-searching bead and storing valuable things in the System Space.

This time, amidst countless corpses, he surprisingly managed to scrape together over fifty thousand jin of Yangyuan.

Chu Hao was also shocked.

How could there be so much?

The people here were all incredibly wealthy.

Chu Hao understood that the earth veins in this place are all mines, and anyone capable could extract Yangyuan.

Those who pursued him were all capable individuals.

Moreover, the three Yin Yang Emperor Realm practitioners and the Asura Ghost Emperor who died mysteriously were also wealthy.

Aside from the fifty thousand jin of Yangyuan Stone, there were some treasures, though not many were intact, as most were damaged by lightning in the formations.

Anyway, the trash was useless to him; anything that survived this disaster was certainly a treasure.

After scavenging, Chu Hao left.

...

Outside, the news spread.

The entire Secret Realm was shocked with waves of excitement,

Chu Hao singlehandedly led everyone into a trap, causing the loss of three Emperor Realm, over thirty Peak King Realm, and countless King Realm and Heavenly Master Realm practitioners.

And the King Realm practitioners were especially numerous, what a huge loss!

As the news spread, aside from disbelief, there were gasps of astonishment.

Almost everyone couldn't believe it; Chu Hao had tricked everyone. Among the many who chased him, not only were they all counterattacked, but countless died.

"Did this guy really dare to do this?" an incredulous Yin-Yang Practitioner said.

Someone muttered, "What's there to be afraid of? If that many people were chasing me, I'd also dare to do it, though it's a matter of capability."

"Indeed, Chu Hao was forced to the edge, and he's fighting back against everyone."

"Using this Secret Realm formation was quite ingenious, but anyone with some knowledge of formations should find it not hard to discover, right?"

Someone explained with fear, having experienced it firsthand: "You're underestimating Chu Hao; this guy played a trick of enticing appearances, and fooled everyone into it. If it weren't for our slow speed, we'd have gone in and wouldn't have come back."

"Now those big forces are the ones with the headaches; they've lost so many people."

The Fire Nation, Beiming Holy Land, and Su Family each lost an Emperor Realm practitioner.

The Fire Nation and Beiming Holy Land can withstand it, but not the Su Family; they don't have the extensive influence to shake the Shanhai Realm.

Losing an Emperor Realm is nearly a fatal blow to the Su Family.

People in the Su Family panicked, and losing an Emperor Realm would greatly lower their status in Tianqiong Province; they might even drop to a second-tier family or become a third-tier family.

The Su Family regretted deeply, never imagining that killing a Sin Abyss person at Heavenly Master Realm would be so difficult.

Had they known, they wouldn't have provoked Chu Hao.

Further about the Fire Nation, losing an Emperor Realm hurt deeply.

About a hundred King Realm practitioners died, including fifteen Peak King Realm practitioners; the Fire Nation lost the most King Realm practitioners.

The most significant part is that the newly appointed Young Country Lord was captured by Chu Hao.

This time, the Fire Nation lost face, and the damage was enormous.

In the Fire Nation camp, a middle-aged woman was furious, saying, "Useless, all of you are useless!"

She was Fang Mu's mother, and she almost collapsed after her son was captured.

Had she known, she wouldn't have let Fang Mu go to find Chu Hao to save the Fire Nation's face.

Fang Mu's mother angrily said, "Find him, send everyone to search, make sure to find him, don't let my son get hurt."

The subordinates nodded repeatedly.

They wondered internally; it was because your son was useless. Nangong Li got trapped too, but your son is quite arrogant, thinking himself capable of going to his death.

However, these generals from the Fire Nation dared not speak.

"What to do?" the middle-aged woman cried.

The Grand Chancellor, Fang Mu's father, said, "Stop the noise; the loss is huge, and it has alerted the Country Lord. Now, finding the Ancient Technique is the priority."

The middle-aged woman hurriedly said, "What about our son?"

The Grand Chancellor also had a headache, saying, "Isn't he still alive? As long as we find Chu Hao, we might be able to redeem him."

A general arrived and said, "Reporting to the Grand Chancellor! Saint Fang Yun has arrived."

Fang Yun!

The Grand Chancellor and his wife quickly went outside to welcome him.

A young man appeared ahead, seemingly in his thirties, far younger than the fifty-year-old Grand Chancellor.

Yet, upon seeing Fang Yun, the Grand Chancellor excitedly said, "Greetings, Ancestor."

Fang Yun, Fang Mu's ancestor, was a Yin Yang Saint of the Fire Nation.

Their son could be saved, Fang Mu's mother thought excitedly.

If Chu Hao were present, he would surely recognize who this Saint Fang Yun was—the Yin Yang Saint of the Fire Nation who had been taught a harsh lesson by Old Corpse during the contest for the Ancient Technique on the third layer.

At that time, Saint Fang Yun was heavily injured and fled back.

However, he was extremely unwilling to accept it.

His injuries were severe, even causing his Sanctuary cultivation to fall; if he returned like this, his status in the Fire Nation would definitely not be as before.

Thus, the Ancient Technique was his only hope.

With his injuries not yet fully healed, Saint Fang Yun returned to the Secret Realm.

Saint Fang Yun had a grim expression and said, "Besides Chu Hao, have you seen a strange corpse?"

Fang Yun was most wary of Old Corpse; if Old Corpse were still there, he couldn't target Chu Hao. If Old Corpse were absent, dealing with Chu Hao would be easy.

The Grand Chancellor hurriedly said, "Ancestor, I haven't seen it."

Fang Yun coldly said, "Investigate, report the results to me, and I'll take action myself."

The Grand Chancellor quickly said, "Yes."

Fang Mu's mother said, "Ancestor, please save my child."

Saint Fang Yun nodded slightly, since Fang Mu was indeed his descendant.

...

Jiuhua Glory Holy Land also had countless people coming.

Many Purple Guards arrived, and everyone was looking for their opportunities.

Liao Yusheng, Zhang Jian, and Du Peng were almost dumbfounded after hearing about Chu Hao's deeds.

"Chu Hao is incredible! No wonder he's my brother," Zhang Jian said excitedly.

Du Peng quickly covered his mouth, saying, "Keep your voice down; many died, and quite a few from Jiuhua. We're still in the Holy Land, don't seek trouble."

Zhang Jian nodded.

Liao Yusheng said, "I hope this time, Chu Hao can escape alive."

Du Peng said helplessly, "It's difficult. After what happened, many wait at the entrance, ready to kill him once he appears."

The three sighed, originally hoping Chu Hao would return to Jiuhua, but now it seems impossible.

On a mountain, Xiao Bai dealt with a Corpse Chief; he murmured, "Chu Hao, you must survive and return to Yanhuang World with me."

Xiao Bai wished to help but couldn't do much; this time, the enemies Chu Hao faced were unprecedentedly formidable.

Indeed, Chu Hao's actions had angered many powers in Tianqiong Province.
