Chapter 1407 - 1404: Hai Mingyue

Chu Hao discovered some coffins, made from Yangyuan Stone, and quickly moved out the corpses inside.

Altogether, there were four coffins, all made of Yangyuan Stone; how much must that weigh? At least twenty thousand pounds. One man and one toad divided them up.

In the center of the palace was the last coffin, the most luxurious of all. It should have been the father of the Cloud Sea Saint.

The toad opened the coffin, ready to bring out the father of the Cloud Sea Saint, but found there was nothing inside!

The toad was instantly dumbfounded and said, "Where's the body?"

Where has the Cloud Sea Saint's father gone?

Chu Hao was also very puzzled.

Suddenly, urgent footsteps sounded from the rear of the palace.

Chu Hao and the toad immediately asked, "Who?"

Could there be someone in this ancient tomb?

Without a word, they chased after.

Very quickly, Chu Hao and the toad found a figure ahead, not some evil spirit but indeed a person.

The toad was surprised and said, "Someone actually got to the ancient tomb before us. Just how hated is the Cloud Sea Saint."

"Don't run."

Chu Hao used the Shadow Concealing Step to catch up, and kicked that person in the back, knocking them into the wall with a painful howl.

The toad walked over nonchalantly and said, "Who are you."

The person was in pain, and only then did they realize, though this guy wasn't a Fierce Ghost, there was a heavy corpse aura about them.

That person raised their head and finally revealed their face, to be some eighty-year-old man, covered with corpse spots, dressed in funeral clothes of the dead.

The toad was horrified and said, "No way!"

Chu Hao also felt it was unbelievable. Could this person be the one who walked out of the coffin, the father of the Cloud Sea Saint?

Gasping for air, how many years has it been, and they still came back from the dead?

Chu Hao took out the Great Desolate Fire Halberd and coldly said, "Speak, who exactly are you?"

The man finally spoke, with bitterness, "You've broken into my house, yet ask me who I am, is there no justice."

Chu Hao was horrified and said, "You're Cloud Sea's father?"

The man painfully said, "I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise my son finds out, you won't get away with it. My son is the Yin Yang Saint."

Chu Hao stepped on his chest and said, "Still dare to threaten me."

The toad said weirdly, "How many years has it been, and you are still alive, what's going on, speak! Otherwise, I'll fry you tonight."

The father of the Cloud Sea Saint wasn't afraid of Chu Hao, but he feared the toad; this demon might really eat him.

"I'll speak, I'll speak, don't kill me, it took me so much effort to wake up."

Turns out, this ancient tomb was indeed strange. Back when the Cloud Sea Saint chose this place to build the Cloud Sea Pavilion, there was a reason.

He wanted his deceased parents to be resurrected.

Underneath this ancient tomb, a naturally formed cave is there, containing a type of yin-yang energy that can restore fragmented spirits, allowing the dead to revive.

However, it just takes a relatively long time.

When the Cloud Sea Saint discovered it, he was delighted and constructed the tomb here, burying his parents.

So that's what happened.

Chu Hao looked at the toad and said, "Do you know what's below?"

The toad thought for a moment and said, "Not clear, the human world has many oddities; I'm not a Divine Deity, going down to see isn't it quick?"

The father of the Cloud Sea Saint hastily said, "You can't go down, there's a monster below that constantly wants to escape, back then my son used countless means to seal it."

Chu Hao was even more interested; this might be related to his special task.

Chu Hao said, "Lead the way, or I'll burn you."

The old man wanted to cry, he was once a powerful figure, but having just been revived recently, his past strength was gone, or how could he let Chu Hao be so insolent?

They went deeper all the way, passing through the main hall, there was a pool of water emitting a dim glow.

The old man said, "This is below."

Chu Hao said, "I'll go down and take a look."

He plunged into the water, diving downwards.

Swimming for about three hundred meters, he saw a stone gate; the dim glow was coming from inside.

Chu Hao approached the stone gate.

"Bang!"

The stone gate was fiercely struck by something inside, but it didn't break open. The ancient sealing, rune patterns on it flickered, blocking the monster inside.

Chu Hao said, "Who's inside?"

No answer came.

Chu Hao asked again, "Hai Mingyue?"

The monster seemed startled, violently hitting the stone gate, as if responding.

Chu Hao hesitated, should he let it out? Is whatever inside really Hai Mingyue?

This time, a weak voice came out saying, "Who are you?"

The voice was pleasantly musical, and Chu Hao exclaimed, "Are you Hai Mingyue?"

"Yes."

Chu Hao quickly asked, "How can I release you?"

A semi-transparent ghost seeped out from the crack in the stone gate, and at first glance, Chu Hao thought this woman was extraordinarily beautiful.

With long, purple curled hair like a mermaid princess of the sea, she wore a purple chiffon dress which outlined a captivating alluring silhouette, both pure and charming, her perfect face took everyone's breath away.

This was a peerless ghost.

Chu Hao was surprised and said, "You're Hai Mingyue?"

Hai Mingyue gently nodded and said, "Yes."

Without any nonsense, Chu Hao said, "How do I rescue you?"

Hai Mingyue, with her purple-blue gemstone eyes looking at Chu Hao, softly said, "If you rescue me, it will be born."

Chu Hao said, "What exactly is it?"

Hai Mingyue said, "The ocean's nightmare, Emperor Lu."

Chu Hao had never heard of what Emperor Lu was, is there such a Shanhai Beast?

Chu Hao said, "What is its strength?"

Hai Mingyue said, "Sanctuary, during its peak it surpassed Sanctuary."

Holy crap!!

How can he rescue? This is entirely a deadly mission.

Chu Hao, "System, show yourself."

System, "The task accepted by the host, no matter what happens, the system is not responsible."

Chu Hao's head hurt and said, "Really no way?"

Hai Mingyue said, "There is, unless you can find, someone with strength in Pinnacle Holy Realm or above, kill it the moment it appears."

Hearing her say that, Chu Hao felt it was a shame, the old corpse wasn't here.

Is Brother Hao really going to be downgraded?

Chu Hao said, "System, think of something, it's your given task."

System, "Read the task prompt carefully, foolish host."

Indeed, there was a prompt, like this.

Prompt: (This task tests the host's pretentiousness reaction ability, stronger when met with strength, even stronger when met with weakness.)

Chu Hao said, "Give me a hint, system."

System, "Pay one million Pretentiousness Points, the system will provide a hint."

Chu Hao, "Damn it, aren't you ripping me off?"

System, "There's no free meal in the world."

Forget it, anyway, this task is given, after completion, he can still obtain ten million Merit Points, which can be converted to a million Pretentiousness Points.

Chu Hao said, "Alright, give me the hint."

"Ding... Host paid one million Pretentiousness Points, system provides the task hint."
