Chapter 549: Chapter 549: Spirit Suppression

Shi Hao was furious.

Although the others were not clear about the specifics, they knew that many important figures were shocked by the strength of Shi Hao’s bloodline.

That was enough.

Shi Hao was temporarily residing in the Frost Spirit Court within the Imperial Palace, which was originally quiet and deserted. However, as soon as the news spread, the number of people visiting him became endless.

——Shi Hao’s future remained uncertain, but gaining the appreciation of so many important figures and making their acquaintance could never be wrong.

Yet, not everyone thought that way.

Another person rushed over, appearing to be only in his mid-twenties, his face filled with arrogance.

Bang!

He pushed open the gate and entered without announcement.

As Shi Hao was drinking tea in the courtyard, contemplating the events that might unfold, he frowned upon hearing the sound of the gate being forcefully kicked open and looked towards the entrance.

This time, he had been low-key enough, so why was someone still looking for trouble with him?

"Are you Shi Hao?" The young man barged in as if he owned the place and said, "I am Shi Caiyuan, and my grandfather is the vice president of the Privy Council!"

Anyone who starts by declaring their identity like that usually belongs to the group of spoiled heirs who need to use their background to intimidate others.

Shi Hao remained unmoved, merely gazing indifferently at the other.

"I heard your ancestral blood is rich and has caught the attention of several big shots," continued Shi Caiyuan, scrutinizing Shi Hao. "Apart from your passable appearance, I really can’t see what’s so special about you."

"How about this, I happen to need a lackey by my side, you can follow me from now on."

He looked down at Shi Hao, as if he were bestowing a favor.

Shi Hao couldn’t even bother to get angry. With a thought, he activated his star nebula Dharma appearance, and instantly, mist enveloped Shi Caiyuan.

Huh, what’s going on?

Shi Caiyuan, lacking in knowledge, initially thought the mist was a natural phenomenon.

But how could there be fog suddenly when the sun was shining brightly?

He immediately sensed something was amiss. The fog was so thick he couldn’t see his hand in front of his face.

However, he was suddenly confronted with a skull appearing right before him.

Mommy!

Shi Caiyuan, already somewhat panicky, was terrified at the sight of the skull and immediately turned tail and fled in complete disarray.

Shi Hao smiled and withdrew his star nebula Dharma appearance; the skull, naturally, was just a simulation created by his Soul Force, more than enough to scare such a spoiled brat.

"Ahh!" Shi Caiyuan fled out the door, his screams trailing behind him.

Shi Hao didn’t take it to heart and continued to savor his tea.

He was waiting, waiting for Shi Dang to find out about his birth parents, but at the same time, he was ready to make a run for it.

Should his parents have offended some powerful person and been pursued for it, that person, upon learning of his return, would certainly wish to nip the threat in the bud.

An hour passed.

Bang!

The door let out a loud noise, having been kicked off its hinges.

Shi Hao sighed; the latch had already been broken by the previous kick and had never been locked, just closed. Was there really a need to kick it so violently?

To make such a fuss with a door, the intruder’s magnanimity and tolerance were quite limited.

"Whoever you are, come out here right now, how dare you bully my nephew!" shouted an irate voice.

A woman?

Shi Hao looked over and saw a girl in her early twenties; beside her stood Shi Caiyuan, the one who had previously been scared away.

Huh, Shi Caiyuan is this girl’s nephew?

He sensed very clearly that this woman was indeed around twenty years old, and not just maintaining her youth with elixirs.

Indeed, she must be of a higher generation.

Moreover, although this woman was younger, her cultivation had actually surpassed Shi Caiyuan’s, reaching the Other Shore Realm.

As he turned his head, the woman also clearly saw his face and couldn’t help but freeze.

How could there be such a handsome man?

But she was accustomed to being domineering. How could she tolerate her nephew being bullied by others?

Thus, she immediately became aggressive again, "You actually dare to play tricks and scare my nephew! Come over here and apologize to him right now!"

Sure enough, from the action of kicking the door, one could tell she was an unreasonable person.

Shi Hao, not wishing to say more, released his Nebula Dharma appearance once again, and in a brief instant, the woman and Shi Caiyuan were seen fleeing in disarray.

From this point on, it was like stirring a hornet’s nest, with troubles coming one after another.

Soon, another person came running over.

This time, it was a man in his thirties, of a burly stature, clad in Battle Armor. His heavy footsteps could be heard from afar before he even arrived.

"Uncle, it’s him!" Shi Caiyuan pointed at Shi Hao and said.

"Brother, teach him a lesson!" the previous woman also pointed at Shi Hao.

The Battle Armor-clad man, however, stared at Shi Hao and after a while frowned, "You are already at the Self-Observation realm, is it fun to bully these two of lower realms?"

What!

Shi Caiyuan and the woman, upon hearing this, were both furious beyond measure.

How shameless to bully others by taking advantage of a higher realm.

Shi Hao couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity, what kind of logic was this?

Oh, you come to my door to show off, and I just scare you away, and this is called bullying the weak?

Know that if it were anywhere else, a lower realm Martial Artist daring to be so presumptuous in front of a powerful one would simply be seeking death.

He was already being merciful.

Did they think because he hadn’t gone on a killing spree, he was easy to bully?

"Scram!" he said, not in the mood for idle talk, and directly scolded.

"Hmph, you think just because your bloodline is strong, you can act above the law?" the Battle Armor man coldly said, with strong dissatisfaction evident in his tone.

Shi Hao sighed, then simply beckoned with his finger, "Stop the gibberish, let’s have a fight instead!"

The Battle Armor man sneered, "I am Shi Hua, Commander of the Third Battalion of the Imperial Guards, the Self-Observation Nine Phases. Are you sure you want to disgrace yourself? In consideration that you also share the Shi surname, if you kneel down and beg for mercy sincerely, I might not find it impossible to forgive you."

He knew Shi Hao’s bloodline was very powerful, causing several significant figures to be alarmed; therefore, unless it was unavoidable, he did not wish to clash with Shi Hao.

Boom!

Shi Hao released his own aura, instantly like a vast ocean, raging mightily.

Shi Hua, affected by the impact of his aura, couldn’t help but turn pale.

Too terrifying, was this the horror of a strong bloodline, to be almost forced to kneel just by an aura?

Otherwise, he did not believe any peer could make his fighting spirit plummet to rock bottom with mere presence.

"Aaaah!" he roared, as the power within his body completely burst forth, turning into flames around him, burning fiercely.

After all, he was one of the Commanders of the Imperial Guards; if there weren’t anything extraordinary about him, how could he hold such a position?

Shi Hao fixed his gaze on him, pushing his spirit oppression to the extreme.

Bang!

Shi Hua couldn’t withstand it and instantly fell to his knees.

His armor was truly heavy; as he knelt, the ground trembled, and even his knees felt sore.

But Shi Hua was utterly unaware of this, looking at Shi Hao with shocked eyes. To be brought to his knees with just a spiritual pressure, this young man was too terrifying!
