Chapter 722 Shi Hao: If they dare to rob us, then we'll rob them back!

When the members of the Patching Heaven Sect saw Shi Hao walk in from outside the shattered palace door, their faces turned deathly pale.

They might not know Lan Yichen and Qin Hao.

However, Shi Hao once slaughtered many in the Immortal Ancient Ruins, even killing Di Chong, the successor of the Immortal Palace.

It's impossible for them not to recognize each other.

"It's...it's wasteland!"

One of the women exclaimed in surprise, her eyes filled with panic.

The man in the lead also changed his expression drastically, and even the long sword in his hand unconsciously dropped.

"go!"

He made a quick decision and turned to lead his men to escape the place.

"stop."

Shi Hao teleported and appeared directly in front of them: "I heard everything you said when I was breaking the formation outside. You wanted to kill my people and steal my precious medicine, and now you want to leave?"

The leading man, trying to remain calm, quickly clasped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Shi Hao, this is all a misunderstanding... We didn't know that Luo Dao was one of your people. We apologize for any offense we may have caused..."

Shi Hao said calmly, "Misunderstanding? When you were about to kill him, you didn't say it was a misunderstanding..."

The man was speechless for a moment after hearing Shi Hao's words.

Finally, a female cultivator beside him stepped forward and hurriedly explained, "Fellow Daoist Shi Hao, we are willing to compensate you... Just tell us what you need."

"Compensation? That's not out of the question..."

Shi Hao gestured with his fingers over their bodies a few times, then smiled and said, "Then leave everything you have on you, and get out of here..."

"what?"

A young cultivator's eyes widened instantly: "You want all of our things? That's impossible!"

Shi Hao looked at him coldly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes: "Leave no possessions, or keep your lives... The choice is yours."

The members of the Patching Heaven Sect looked at each other, their faces filled with resentment and anger.

They've worked so hard to explore the ancient ruins of the immortals for so long, and finally managed to accumulate some possessions. How could they just hand them over like that?

The leading man gritted his teeth and secretly gave his junior brother a wink. The junior brother understood immediately, quietly slipped his hand into his sleeve, and then swiftly produced a tiny flying needle.

"—Whoosh!!!"

The flying needles were as thin as cow hair, almost invisible to the naked eye, yet incredibly fast, reaching Shi Hao in the blink of an eye.

"Hmph, courting death!"

Shi Hao's lips curled up slightly.

With a flick of his wrist, the broken sword was drawn.

In an instant, a golden sword aura flew out from the broken sword, swelled in the wind, and instantly transformed into a sword beam a thousand feet long, sweeping out horizontally.

The opponent's flying needle was like a speck of dust in front of his sword light, and was directly shredded.

Then, the sword light, still possessing great momentum, slashed towards the young man who had launched the sneak attack at an extremely fast speed.

"--No!!!"

The young man screamed and tried to dodge, but he was locked onto by the sword's edge and couldn't move at all.

"--puff!"

The sword light swept across him, slicing his body in two.

Blood gushed out, and the primordial spirit was completely annihilated!

The entire arena fell into a deathly silence. The remaining members of the Heaven-Mending Sect were all deathly pale, as if they had collapsed.

They never expected that Shi Hao was not only incredibly strong, but also acted without hesitation.

They kill without hesitation, without any fuss.

This isn't a cultivator, it's a demon!

"Who else wants to try?"

Shi Hao sheathed his broken sword and turned his gaze back to the group from the Patching Heaven Sect.

Perhaps it was because Shi Hao's sword strike was too shocking.

The female cultivator who had spoken earlier finally couldn't withstand the pressure and was the first to take out everything from her cave.

Seeing this, the others followed suit, taking out their treasures one by one and piling them on the ground in front of Shi Hao.

Elixirs, magical artifacts, cultivation techniques, pills... everything is available.

Shi Hao glanced at the things on the ground, then casually waved his hand at the few disciples of the Heaven-Mending Sect: "Get lost."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Patching Heaven Sect felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They turned and ran away without daring to look back.

Qin Hao frowned as he watched the people leave: "Brother, why did you let them go? They know there are Eight Treasures Qilin here. If the news gets out, we'll definitely be targeted by even more people."

Luo Dao nodded in agreement, his face full of worry. "Fellow Daoist Qin Hao is right. The people of the Heaven-Mending Sect are vindictive. They have suffered such a great loss, they will definitely not let it go. If they spread the news of the Eight Treasures Qilin, the cultivators in Bright City will probably flock here. At that time, we will be in big trouble."

Lan Yichen chimed in, "Yes, Fellow Daoist Shi Hao, you were too merciful just now. If it were me, none of these people would have gotten away. I would have killed them to silence them and ended it all."

Shi Hao looked at them and suddenly laughed: "You're right, letting them go will indeed cause trouble, but... that's the trouble I want."

Qin Hao was taken aback: "Brother, what do you mean by that?"

Shi Hao did not answer Qin Hao's question immediately. Instead, he slowly picked up the things on the ground before turning around and facing them, saying, "Think carefully... how many cultivators are there in Bright City? And how many of them have precious medicines and magical artifacts?"

Qin Hao was completely bewildered and did not understand the meaning of Shi Hao's words at all.

Luo Dao and Lan Yichen also had thoughtful expressions.

Seeing this, Shi Hao could only continue, "Let me put it this way: we're here to find precious medicines, but if we go looking for them one by one now, it won't be very efficient. But if they spread the news about the Eight Treasures Qilin, and everyone knows there are sacred medicines here, what will they do?"

Lan Yichen's eyes lit up: "They'll come and steal it!"

Shi Hao nodded and said, "That's right. They will come to rob us, but once they come, they'll be on our territory. In this ancient palace, we have isolation barriers to rely on, and we have the advantage of the terrain. If one of them comes, we'll fight one; if two come, we'll fight two. If we win, everything on their bodies will be ours. Isn't that much faster than us painstakingly searching for precious medicines everywhere?"

After listening to Shi Hao's explanation, Qin Hao suddenly understood.

He looked at Shi Hao with admiration and said, "Brother, so that's what you were planning, to let them come to us and then rob them... That's a brilliant move!"

Luo Dao also looked incredulous: "Fellow Daoist Shi Hao's move... is truly far more ingenious than killing someone to silence them."

Lan Yichen said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get ready quickly. Once the people from the Heaven-Mending Sect spread the news, the cultivators in Bright City will definitely flock here. We'll be very busy then."

Shi Hao nodded and turned to look at the restrictions inside the hall.

The runes on those barriers were still flashing, isolating the ancient temple from the outside world.

He said thoughtfully, "These restrictions cannot be fully opened or closed. There must be an opening so that they can come in, but once they are in, they cannot get out."

Lan Yichen asked, "Fellow Daoist Shi Hao, do you also have knowledge of restrictions?"

Shi Hao shook his head: "I don't understand restrictions, but I have people around me who do..."
