Chapter 597: Chapter 597 The Heaven’s Path Alliance Makes Another Move

Shi Hao decided to stay at Heavenly Palace Academy for a while before heading to Ling Tian Academy.

He was someone who saw things through. The Heaven’s Path Alliance had deceived him, oppressed him, and even wanted to kill him, so how could he possibly leave before he had destroyed them?

"Fighting with Shi Ze did allow me to vent, but it also exposed my strength," murmured Shi Hao, "Now, if Heaven’s Path Alliance wants to make a move against me again, what level of power will they deploy?"

Initially, they sent Chang Yichun from the Supplementing Divine Temple, thinking they had a sure win. However, although Shi Hao "died," Chang Yichun also vanished without a trace.

Eight months later, Shi Hao returned, but Chang Yichun was still nowhere to be seen.

Heaven’s Path Alliance must be utterly perplexed, giving rise to countless suspicions.

But however capable they were at guessing, they would never believe that Chang Yichun had been killed by Shi Hao.

"So next, will they send high-level members of the Founding King Court to kill me, or someone from the Supplementing Divine Temple?"

The Heaven’s Path Alliance was formidable, indeed a first-class power within the academy, but they only had two more members from the Supplementing Divine Temple. Would they dare to deploy them so readily?

After all, it’s the Elemental Cave—a great place for silencing people, but also filled with danger that could easily cause their own downfall.

——Look at the current number of students in the academy. It has decreased by at least thirty percent from the beginning, and this is under the premise that new students are constantly joining. If we were to count the students who have died, the number would be even higher.

"Therefore, it’s highly likely that the Heaven’s Path Alliance will send high-level members of the Founding King Court to kill me next."

"Heh heh, we shall see who turns out to be the prey and who the hunter," he chuckled to himself.

Shi Hao put the matters regarding the Heaven’s Path Alliance aside for the time being, as he had more important things to worry about.

Soul Force!

After reaching the ten phases, his Soul Force no longer had the leading edge but was once again on par with his realm, so if he wanted to rapidly elevate his cultivation, this had become a bottleneck.

Moreover, attempting to break through a major realm required a massive amount of energy for support. He must also prepare well for this. Otherwise, he could end up in the middle of trying to ascend to the Founding King Court with no energy supply, forced to consume his own Life Origin, which would be a grievous loss.

Such an ascension to the Founding King Court would be inherently deficient, and its combat power would definitely be inferior to a normally promoted Founding King Court.

Of course, even if somewhat lacking, Shi Hao could still sweep through the ranks of the Founding King Court, but his aspiration was not to surpass ordinary people. It was Shi Zhong!

"The Elemental Cave is a place I must visit, but I wonder if there are other ancient relics that have been made accessible, where I can seek out some treasure medicines to enhance my Soul Force."

Shi Hao submitted an application to the academy to re-enter the Elemental Cave.

This was once again quickly approved, and Shi Hao immediately took action, entering the Elemental Cave.

"This time, I deliberately slowed down by two days, giving plenty of time for the Heaven’s Path Alliance to prepare. I hope they don’t disappoint me."

Murmured Shi Hao, walking through this bizarre underground world.

Before long, he noticed someone following him. However, once his domain was deployed, no one could conceal themselves within ten zhang of him.

It’s a pity that without reaching the greater realm, the range of his domain couldn’t expand and remained within a ten-zhang distance.

The Heaven’s Path Alliance had finally arrived.

Shi Hao smiled; quite a number of them had come this time.

Good, if I take care of the Heaven’s Path Alliance’s Founding King Court now, next time I can eliminate those remaining two from the Supplementing Divine Temple and then leave Heavenly Palace Academy to bring calamity to Ling Tian Academy.

He pretended to be unaware, but his domain was monitoring every movement within a ten-zhang radius.

In all, there were... seven individuals, all high-level members of the Founding King Court.

Excellent, it appears that the Heaven’s Path Alliance had truly deployed all their Founding King Court’s main forces.

"Shi Hao!" a voice called out, and Wu Siyuan strode forward. He was the Ninth King, now unreservedly flaunting his formidable aura.

Shi Hao remained calm and indifferent, turning to look at the other, "What do you want?"

"To kill you!" Wu Siyuan stated coldly, then waited for Shi Hao to panic, to flee in a clumsy and embarrassed manner.

If so, the companions surrounding Shi Hao would seize the opportunity to strike, taking his life while he was in a state of panic and confusion.

Indeed!

Shi Hao really panicked, and immediately took off running.

That was to be expected, even the strongest Self-Observation, no matter if they were geniuses like Shi Ze, could only defeat the First King and the Second King at most. As for Shi Hao, at his very best, he could perhaps defeat the Third and Fourth Kings.

That was still incredibly astonishing, however.

But the Founding King Court lying in ambush all around, at the very least, consisted of the Sixth King.

You are definitely going to die!

"Die!" With a roar filled with rage, Zhu Hanming charged out, his face full of fury.

He was the Sixth King, yet he had been publicly defeated by Shi Hao, which had become his enormous humiliation, contrasting Shi Hao’s monstrous example.

Therefore, when he saw Shi Hao running in his direction, he was naturally overjoyed.

He could finally have his revenge.

Boom!

He crossed his palms and struck towards Shi Hao’s chest.

Humph, previously, you relied on that strange white rabbit to defeat me, but now, in such a rush, you definitely won’t be able to release the white rabbit again. I want to see what you’ll use to block this strike of mine.

Die!

Shi Hao smiled broadly, he was not at all afraid of the Ninth King, and naturally couldn’t be scared off; his actions were completely intentional, all part of his plan to trap others.

And Zhu Hanming... Shi Hao had intentionally run in this direction.

The Sixth King, hmm, he should be able to be killed in an instant.

Shi Hao swung his fist, wrapped by the Net of Rules, boosting its destructive force to an unimaginable level.

Bang!

One punch later, Zhu Hanming’s palms couldn’t block it at all, Shi Hao blasted him backwards, crack, crack, crack, the sound of bones breaking one after another, under Zhu Hanming’s incredulous gaze, the fist along with the palms drove straight into Zhu Hanming’s chest.

Sputter, Zhu Hanming kept vomiting blood, stumbling and faltering underfoot, he hadn’t taken many steps before he collapsed with a crash.

Dead.

Wu Siyuan was dumbfounded, how could this be?

It should have been Shi Hao who made a mistake under pressure and was easily slain, but how had the reality been completely inverted?

Shi Hao grinned slightly, "Now there are only eight left."

These words made Wu Siyuan’s heart shake, and he blurted out, "You know how many of us there are!"

My god!

He thought he had dug a pit for Shi Hao, luring him out to startle the snake, hoping to cause him great distraction and panic, taking the chance to deliver a fatal blow. He hadn’t expected that Shi Hao had already figured out their plan, turning the tables on them and instantly killing one of their number.

Could it be that there was a traitor within the Heaven’s Path Alliance, who had passed the information to Shi Hao?

At that moment, Jing Yanghua, Song Jiande, and others also stepped out, each with a grave expression on their faces. With Shi Hao’s maneuver, they had suddenly lost a companion, who among them could still smile?

Originally, they had thought this hunt to be like an eagle catching a chick, but now?

Who really was the prey?

"Shi Hao, today your death is inevitable!" Jing Yanghua spoke, "The person you killed was the weakest among us! Now that you are surrounded by us, there is absolutely no way you can escape!"

"Before you die, I want to ask you a question."

"Have you ever seen Chang Yichun?"
