Asura Emperor Venerable
Chapter 580: The Real Support

Chapter 580: Chapter 580: The Real Support

Bei Yan, Heaven’s Path Alliance Hierarch, a once-in-a-generation talent of the Bei Family, a master of the Supplementing Divine Temple, ranked seventeenth at the top of the Founding King Court, demonstrating just how monstrous his capabilities were.

He wasn’t tall, only of average height, but the aura he emitted was overwhelming, inspiring people to willingly follow him.

"Bei Yan, aren’t you convinced?" Weng Nanqing looked over, her gaze intense and challenging.

Bei Yan just smiled, "Is Fairy Weng representing herself, or does she come on behalf of the Falling Flower Alliance?"

The question was astute.

If Weng Nanqing had come only in a personal capacity, then it was a minor matter, but if she represented the status of the hierarch of the Falling Flower Alliance, then the situation was serious.

It implied that two major first-class forces within the academy were on the brink of a direct confrontation, an event with unimaginable consequences.

Thus, with a single sentence, Bei Yan struck at the heart of the matter.

Weng Nanqing smiled lightly, "It’s just about protecting someone, no need to mobilize the Falling Flower Alliance."

"Fairy Weng is quite confident," Bei Yan said with a smile. "But if it’s just you alone, I can easily stop you, so how will you protect this young man?"

Weng Nanqing scoffed, "You think you can stop me?"

Bei Yan didn’t get angry, simply replying, "Then why not give it a try!"

Weng Nanqing drew her sword, which glowed a deep, bloody red and exuded an indescribable aura of murder.

Bei Yan was surprised, "The Netherworld Blood Sword? I didn’t expect the Weng Family would let you inherit the Netherworld Blood Sword so soon."

This was a seven-star Spiritual Artifact, coveted by Great Sacrificial Heaven powerhouses.

If not for Weng Nanqing’s formidable background, which Supplementing Divine Temple would dare to flaunt a seven-star Spiritual Artifact so openly?

The leap from Supplementing Divine Temple to Great Sacrificial Heaven was astonishing, just as it was for Spiritual Artifacts.

Primarily because seven-star Precious Metals were exceedingly rare, most Great Sacrificial Heaven powerhouses had to fight empty-handed. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to use weapons, but seven-star ones were not available to them, and the power they could funnel into a six-star... would easily shatter it.

Thus, if not for fear of retaliation from the Weng Family, any Supplementing Divine Temple carrying a seven-star Spiritual Artifact around would have long been looted.

Weng Nanqing was already strong enough, and with the aid of a seven-star Spiritual Artifact, she indeed had the qualifications to declare that she could protect Shi Hao with her own power.

"Good to know," Weng Nanqing stated indifferently.

Bei Yan, however, smiled and said, "Unfortunately, that still doesn’t scare me."

With a thought, an ancient bell suddenly appeared, hovering above his head, as if engulfing and exhaling clouds, with vapor billowing around it.

"The Ancient Cloud Bell!" Weng Nanqing’s expression changed involuntarily. She recognized the bell as the Bei Family’s treasured Treasure Instrument.

Of course, this was but a replica. The true Ancient Cloud Bell was a Nine Stars Spiritual Artifact that had been passed down for countless years. Each generation of the Bei Family’s powerhouses would lavish their lifelong efforts on nurturing it, and during the process of transforming into the Dao, they would even spill their heart’s blood over it.

After generation upon generation, the power of the Ancient Cloud Bell naturally grew, and it was a renowned entity on the South Wood Continent.

This replica, though far from as mighty as the real thing, was still of seven-star caliber and fully qualified to contend with the Netherworld Blood Sword.

To be honest, even though Bei Yan had brought out the Ancient Cloud Bell, Weng Nanqing wasn’t necessarily afraid, but she also could no longer claim any advantage. Once the fight broke out, she definitely wouldn’t be able to look after Shi Hao anymore.

Overconfident!

She thought to herself. She had assumed that with the Netherworld Blood Sword, she alone could suppress the Heaven’s Path Alliance, but she didn’t expect Bei Yan to also possess such a powerful instrument.

"Fairy Weng, do you still have such confidence now?" Bei Yan spoke calmly.

Even though there wasn’t a trace of arrogance in his voice, Weng Nanqing found it incredibly irritating.

"Heh, what if you add me to the equation?" Another clear voice rang out, and a tall figure strode over confidently.

Luo He, Hierarch of North Silver Alliance.

Bei Yan’s expression couldn’t help but change slightly.

Although the North Silver Alliance was also a first-rate power, in Bei Yan’s view, the only thing worth mentioning about North Silver Alliance was Luo He. One could say that it was Luo He who, with his own strength, propped up the North Silver Alliance, allowing it to enter the ranks of the first-rate powers.

Now, Luo He actually wanted to get involved in this messy situation?

He found it unbelievable. Shi Hao was clearly a person from the Eastern Fire Continent, so why would Luo He want to protect him?

Weng Nanqing also couldn’t help but glance at Luo He. Why would this guy suddenly show up? When had Shi Hao gotten involved with the people from the Northern Silver Continent?

Shi Hao naturally didn’t understand either and was filled with a trace of confusion.

This was his first time meeting the Hierarch of the North Silver Alliance. Why would the other party come out in support and take his side?

Luo He simply smiled at him, not offering an explanation, but signaling friendliness.

Shi Hao nodded as well, accepting the friendliness from the other party.

"No wonder you dare to be so arrogant!" Bei Yan turned his gaze back to Shi Hao, "So, this is your reliance!"

Shi Hao smiled faintly, "Wrong, this is not my reliance. These two are merely my friends who disapprove of the arrogant and overbearing behavior of your Heaven’s Path Alliance. That’s why they nobly stepped in."

"Oh? Then what is your real reliance?" Bei Yan asked, knowing that since the Hierarchs of both alliances had stood up for Shi Hao, it was clear that today he could not make a move against Shi Hao.

Even within the Heavenly Palace Academy, no one dared touch Shi Hao—unless someone had the courage to wage war against both alliances at the same time.

So, Bei Yan simply started a war of words with Shi Hao.

He wanted to suppress Shi Hao’s momentum, making him admit that he was able to walk out from the Heaven’s Path Alliance only because of Weng Nanqing and Luo He’s protection.

Otherwise, this time, the Heaven’s Path Alliance would truly suffer a major defeat.

Shi Hao laughed, "My family name is Shi, first name Hao."

What kind of reliance was that? Everyone in the Heavenly Palace Academy knew his name was Shi Hao.

"My father is Shi Feng!" Shi Hao finally dropped a bombshell, instantly causing everyone’s minds to explode, "Yes, the very Shi Feng who swept through his peers over twenty years ago!"

This revelation shocked Bei Yan to the point where his scalp went numb.

The more of a genius one was, the more likely they had heard of the name Shi Feng.

Many even idolized Shi Feng and saw him as a goal to surpass. However, Shi Feng had suddenly disappeared without a trace twenty years ago, leaving everyone puzzled about what had happened to this peerless genius of the Shi Family.

Unexpectedly, a thunderous piece of news had now exploded.

—Shi Hao was actually the son of Shi Feng!

How could this be, wasn’t this guy a native of the Eastern Fire Continent?

But on second thought, with Shi Hao’s exceptional talent, apart from the equally monstrous Shi Feng, who else could have produced such an impressively brilliant son?

Could Bei Yan afford to provoke Shi Feng?

Not at all!

And what was even more terrifying was that behind Shi Feng there was the Stone Clan, and the Stone Clan’s venerable ancestor was a Sky Ladder Almighty!

It was known that the establishment of the Heaven’s Path Alliance was for some slightly weaker powers to be able to have a say in front of top-tier powers, which led to the formation of the alliance. Despite its numerous members and arguably immense strength, there had never been a Sky Ladder Almighty in the alliance.

Therefore, the Stone Clan was certainly not a power that the Heaven’s Path Alliance could afford to offend.

Shi Hao’s reliance was indeed solid!
