Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Young Master Shi!

"Who is that guy?" Su Manman turned her head to look at Jia Xin and then asked Shi Hao.

"Oh, just a nobody, don’t mind him," Shi Hao replied casually.

Su Manman nodded and indeed paid no further attention.

The two of them wandered aimlessly, not in a hurry on their journey, stopping for several days at places they found enjoyable, which delighted Su Manman immensely. She laughed heartily all day long.

Watching her, Shi Hao imagined the lovely face hidden beneath her ordinary appearance and likewise became cheerful.

Being with Su Manman was relaxing and always kept him in high spirits.

Seeing this, Su Manman’s lips curled into a small and satisfied smirk.

Hehe, nailed it!

After many more days of travel, Shi Hao hadn’t neglected his cultivation; he had stolen quite a few Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Fruits from the altar in Gulang City. The medicines needed to be processed, but the fruits could be absorbed directly using the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture.

Indeed, much of their potency had been lost, but they still greatly benefited Shi Hao’s cultivation, bringing him ever closer to the Peak’s tenth step.

It seemed that soon he would be able to attempt a breakthrough to the Other Shore.

Finally, they arrived at the Purple Star Sect.

This was a five-star power, one of the strongest existences on the Eastern Fire Continent, with few forces that could rival the Purple Star Sect.

In front of Shi Hao and his companions stretched a majestic range of mountains, covered in lush vegetation that appeared like swathes of green fabric.

The Purple Star Sect was nestled within these mountains.

Jia Xin was surprised; he hadn’t expected Shi Hao to actually come to the Purple Star Sect.

Are you not afraid of being exposed in public? Such a slap in the face would be very painful.

However, Xiao Hei is now a disciple under key cultivation by the Purple Star Sect, and meeting him won’t be easy. So, this guy must know this, which is why he dares to come here without worry of being exposed, right?

Hehe, you’ve miscalculated, because I am here!

Shi Hao continued walking and soon they reached the mountain gate of the Purple Star Sect.

What they faced was actually a mountain path, but at its beginning stood a huge Stone Gate, by which eight young men were stationed, monitoring the comings and goings of the crowd.

As Shi Hao, his companion, and dog passed by, they were immediately stopped.

"Who are you?"

Shi Hao smiled faintly, "Xiao Hei is a friend of mine, and I came specially to see him."

When he had left Sanyuan City, he had sent Xiao Hei straight to the Purple Star Sect, believing that Xiao Hei’s talent in the Sword Dao would surely be highly valued by them. This way, it would be much easier for him to investigate the grudges between Luo Qing’er and Lin Yuyue.

Otherwise, if a stranger bluntly went to inquire, it would surely arouse suspicion.

"Friends?" Those disciples all looked at Shi Hao with full skepticism.

Xiao Hei is now a treasure of the Purple Star Sect, known to be an "ancient Sword Body," naturally suited for the Sword Dao with limitless prospects for the future.

Therefore, there would surely be many who’d come out claiming kinship; just in the past few days, four pairs had come to claim him as their son and seven others as their long-lost brother.

All fakes, of course.

They looked at Shi Hao with doubt; was this guy a swindler?

With such good looks, maybe not.

"Hehe, why don’t you tell the truth?" Jia Xin walked over and said to the eight disciples guarding the gate, "He says Xiao Hei is his little brother!"

The eight disciples were first stunned and then burst into collective laughter.

What a huge joke!

There have been those who claimed to be fathers and brothers, but claiming a little brother was new.

Where does he get his courage from?

"Kid, you actually dare say our Heaven’s Proud Son is your little brother; where does your courage come from?" One of them said with a laugh, inciting more laughter from the others as if Shi Hao were an idiot.

"Get lost before we lose our temper!"

Shi Hao just smiled, "Whether I’m spouting nonsense or not, wouldn’t everything be clear if Xiao Hei came out to identify me?"

Jia Xin inhaled sharply; was this guy serious?

If things escalated, even if he were a Saber Dao genius, he might still be beaten to death!

The Purple Star Sect is not a place to be taken lightly. How could you be so presumptuous?

The eight disciples were also annoyed, their expressions turning unpleasant.

"Kid, we didn’t want to stoop to your level, but don’t push it too far!" one of them said, frowning.

Shi Hao sighed, "I’ve been very polite too, just asking you to go and report that Shi Hao has arrived. Is that so difficult?"

The eight disciples looked at each other, and finally, someone said, "Then I shall tentatively go and report it."

"Good." All seven others nodded in agreement.

If Shi Hao really knew Xiao Hei, then they definitely did not want to offend Xiao Hei. But if Shi Hao was lying, then there would be no harm in dealing with him later.

However, if they ended up making a trip in vain and wasted their time and saliva, they definitely wouldn’t be polite to Shi Hao.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Jia Xin stopped talking and stood to one side to wait.

Before long, someone was seen flying over from the mountainside.

Xiao Hei!

He was very fast, appearing in front of Shi Hao in just a few blinks of an eye, and without a word, he drew his sword and stabbed at him.

He still used the Bamboo Sword.

But wrapped in his Sword Qi, the bamboo sword’s lethality was in no way inferior to that of a sharp blade.

Everyone saw this and sneered.

Sure enough, this guy was here to make trouble. Otherwise, why would Xiao Hei attack as soon as he arrived?

The seven disciples were all furious, staring at Shi Hao. If Xiao Hei did not kill Shi Hao, they would surely go up and give him a thrashing.

Shi Hao smiled faintly, Xiao Hei was still the same old Xiao Hei.

He reached out and grabbed for the Bamboo Sword.

Seeing this, all the disciples sneered.

You dare to try to catch Xiao Hei’s sword with your bare hands?

Don’t you know Xiao Hei has a Sword Body, and anything in the world can be a sword to him? This is somewhat similar to the third realm of the Sword Dao.

Snap!

Shi Hao’s hand flicked, and the Bamboo Sword fell into his grasp.

What!

Seeing this, everyone was stunned.

What’s going on? How is this possible!

Xiao Hei simply abandoned the sword, and with a buzz, a Saber Intent capable of cutting through anything slashed towards Shi Hao.

The second realm of the Sword Dao, with a sword in one’s heart, can extinguish the soul.

Shi Hao laughed, completely unafraid, and wielded his own Saber Intent to slash back at his opponent.

Both had cultivated their respective Saber Intent and Sword Intent and could injure an enemy from outside the body; what mattered now was whose Saber or Sword Intent was fiercer and whose Soul Power was stronger.

Snap!

The two Intents clashed, and the Sword Intent instantly dissipated.

However, this was a confrontation at the soul level, invisible to others; they only saw Xiao Hei suddenly stop in his tracks.

"Audacious madman!" The seven people at the mountain gate immediately shouted, and other disciples coming in and out nearby gathered around, all glaring at Shi Hao with hostility.

Dare to provoke the Purple Star Sect?

Have you grown hair on your courage?

"Young Master Shi!"

At this moment, Xiao Hei made a move that surprised everyone.

He knelt on one knee and respectfully saluted Shi Hao.

Spurt!

Suddenly, many people spat out in shock, while the rest were dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.

Fuck!
