Chapter 557: Chapter 557 The Truth About One’s Background

"Should I be asking who you are?" Shi Hao said.

The black-clad, masked person looked at him coldly and said, "What you should be asking is, whose son are you!"

"Oh, you know?" Shi Hao smiled.

This was a warrior from the Supplementing Divine Temple, but unless they had cultivated a domain, they wouldn’t be able to break through his domain perception silently and without a trace.

Seeing Shi Hao’s insouciant appearance, obvious disappointment and disgust showed in the eyes of the masked person, who shook their head: "Your father was a hero all his life, how could he have sired a son like you?"

"I’m sorry to have disappointed you," Shi Hao said, already preparing to use the power of Yue Ying, as this person was very likely to be aware of his background, and he was determined to capture them.

The black-clad, masked person grew even more dissatisfied; how could Shi Hao still appear so nonchalant at this time?

It was regrettable to know that Shi Hao had returned, and that he, with bloodline power, surpassed the two old ancestors and became the first of the Shi Family, which was once an exhilarating thought.

"Hmph, let me teach you a lesson on behalf of your father first!" The person suddenly lashed out, reaching for Shi Hao.

A thought zipped through Shi Hao’s mind; could this person be a friend of his birth father?

Therefore, he did not use the power of Yue Ying and, with a single thought, entered the Immortal Abode.

Huh?

The black-clad, masked person missed his grab and revealed an expression of utter shock.

In front of him, and under the cover of his Divine Sense, how could one from Self-Observation mysteriously vanish?

How is this possible?

He could confirm with absolute certainty that there were no Teleportation Arrays in this place. So, had Shi Hao used an Instant Teleportation Talisman?

He quickly left the house and extended his Divine Sense to check for Shi Hao’s presence within a hundred yards around—he knew the range of an Instant Teleportation Talisman was very limited.

"Senior, are you looking for me?" Shi Hao’s voice suddenly came from inside the house.

The black-clad, masked person immediately felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Shi Hao had returned!

My goodness, he hadn’t noticed again.

What peculiar ability did this youngster command?

However, this turn of events actually brought him relief, because Shi Hao’s earlier ease was not due to ignorance of danger, but because he had full confidence.

With this change in perception, his disappointment and disgust towards Shi Hao turned back into admiration.

Truly the son of that man!

He walked back into the house and saw Shi Hao sitting in the same spot, looking completely at ease.

Such spirit, strong!

His appreciation for Shi Hao grew, and he said, "A tiger father does not have a canine son; you have not disappointed me!"

What do I care whether you’re disappointed or not?

Shi Hao just smiled: "Senior knows about my background?"

The black-clad, masked person nodded and said, "Your father is Shi Feng, and your mother is Zhu Yulan. About twenty years ago, a great calamity occurred, leading to a complete turn of events."

"Is that really so?"

Shi Hao’s heart was tumultuous with countless thoughts, and then he said, "I would ask the senior to tell me the whole truth about this matter."

The black-clad, masked figure nodded, then said, "This isn’t the place to talk. Follow me."

Shi Hao didn’t hesitate, nodding directly, "Okay!"

He had the Immortal Abode and could also borrow Yue Ying’s power once, fearing nothing from the Supplementing Divine Temple.

Of course, had it been the Great Sacrificial Heaven, Shi Hao would have been extremely cautious. With the power of the Great Sacrificial Heaven, it could easily deceive his domain awareness and restrain or even kill him before he could react.

The black-clad, masked figure turned and left, with Shi Hao following.

The other party obviously intended to test Shi Hao, moving at a speed almost reaching that of an ordinary Royal Court.

But upon glancing back at Shi Hao, he was incredibly surprised.

Shi Hao kept up effortlessly, as if strolling leisurely in his own courtyard.

The black-clad, masked figure silently nodded, feeling more reassured in his heart.

Soon, the two had left the city and arrived in a dense forest.

The black-clad, masked figure first removed the black cloth covering his face and said, "My name is Shi Ming, I am your father’s distant cousin. I have been cultivating with your father since childhood, but for me, Shi Feng was more like a mentor. Without his guidance, I probably wouldn’t have been able to reach the Supplementing Divine Temple."

Shi Hao pondered for a moment, then said, "Senior, why are you so certain that I am Senior Shi Feng’s son?"

"You two share too many similarities in appearance," Shi Ming said. "Of course, you resemble your mother a bit more. But the key is, twenty-some years ago, stranded on the Eastern Fire Continent, adding these together convinced me that you are Shi Feng’s son!"

"Another thing—" Shi Ming paused, "I remember that child having a birthmark on the sole of his left foot, with nine red moles forming a lotus shape."

Hearing this, Shi Hao was almost ninety percent convinced.

He did have such nine moles on the sole of his foot, and he had never told this to anyone.

"Please, senior, tell me more about the specifics," he requested sincerely.

"Call me Uncle Ming," Shi Ming said, his face bearing a pleased smile.

"Uncle Ming," Shi Hao agreed amiably.

Shi Ming nodded and began to speak, "Your father was a true genius. Any martial art or secret technique would be mastered by him instantly. By the age of twenty-three, he had already reached the Supplementing Divine Temple, a feat comparable to that of our two ancestors."

"At thirty-one, Shi Feng stepped into the Great Sacrificial Heaven, only slightly behind Gu Shiyun, the greatest prodigy of all times."

"From the Great Sacrificial Heaven onward, advancement couldn’t just rely on hard cultivation, so Shi Feng began to travel the world, hoping to ascend the Heaven Building Ladder quickly, to take on the ancestral responsibility, bear the Stone Clan’s banner, and shine brightly for another five thousand years!"

"However, during his travels, he accidentally encountered your mother. They fell in love quickly, and soon you were conceived."

"So, your parents returned to Stone Country immediately and you were born."

"Everything seemed perfect, but about ten days after your birth, a sudden catastrophe occurred!"

"Your mother died inexplicably, and your father thought he was betrayed by the Shi Family. For your safety, he fled Stone Country with you. After settling you safely, he returned to avenge your mother’s death."

"This resulted in our ancestors personally taking action, capturing your father and imprisoning him in the Abyssal Cave to reflect on his actions."

"Originally, your father, having killed many clansmen, should have faced death. It was only the ancestors’ reluctance that led to his confinement in the Abyssal Cave, imprisoned but not killed."

Shi Hao listened without interrupting until Shi Ming had finished speaking. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "If my mother did indeed die at the hands of the Shi Family, then no matter who was responsible, they must pay with blood for blood!"

It had been a long time since the Asura God of Killing aspect had shown, but now the murderous intent was thoroughly ignited, and he felt the urge to kill.
