Chapter 520: The Ambitious Hu Hao

Chapter 520: Chapter 520: The Ambitious Hu Hao

After the young man named Huu Hao finished speaking, many people turned their gaze towards him. Being from the same Mercenary Group, they had heard a bit about Huu Hao’s past.

It was said that Huu Hao had once been humiliated by a family member from Starshine City and that the girl he had grown up with had also abandoned him, joining that family’s son instead.

The girl with wheat-colored skin, who seemed to exude a wild nature, Little Yi, paid no attention to Huu Hao’s words. At that moment, she saw the young man riding a white tiger had come to the other side of the creek. The tiger laid beside the creek, unconcerned about the bodies of the demon beasts in the stream, lowering its head to drink the blood-red water.

"You!" Little Yi shouted to the other side of the creek.

Shi Feng, sitting on the back of the white tiger, had already noticed the group of people ahead. Hearing the girl’s call, he slightly lifted his head, a puzzled expression on his face, and looked at the girl, asking, "What? Is there a problem?"

"Haven’t you seen? This place is full of demon beast corpses; they must have been attacked by some powerful monster! And there are several Seventh-stage Venerate Middle Stage demon beast corpses among them, all dead. Even if you have a Seventh-stage Venerable white tiger for protection, it’s still too dangerous to stay here.

You should come back to Starshine City with us instead of staying here," Little Yi kindly suggested to Shi Feng.

"A powerful monster attack?" Hearing the girl’s words, Shi Feng looked around at the densely packed, withered bodies of demon beasts covering the ground. In fact, the monster the girl was referring to was himself; all these demon beasts had died by his hand.

In truth, this was merely one of the territories he had slaughtered.

"Starshine City?" However, Shi Feng caught one piece of information from the girl’s words, and that was Starshine City.

Hearing Starshine City, Shi Feng remembered the Death Forbidden Land from a few months ago, the pair of beautiful mother and daughter. At the time of departure, the girl Chu Xin had told him they came from Starshine City, from the Chu Family.

"Is the city near this Demon Beast Mountain Forest Starshine City?" Shi Feng asked the girl.

"Yes! Exactly!" Little Yi nodded and replied, then said, "This Demon Beast Mountain Range lies right in the central region between Shennhui City and Starshine City."

"At that time, I promised her that if I came to Tianlan Empire, I would visit the Chu Family in Starshine City. Now that I’m passing by here, it’s the perfect opportunity to take a trip to Starshine City!" Shi Feng muttered to himself. Then, the white tiger beneath him leaped up, sprinting into the air, flying over the creek and landing on the riverbank where the group stood.

Shi Feng’s gaze once again fell on the girl’s face as he asked, "You come from Starshine City, is there a Chu Family in Starshine City?"

"Chu Family!"

"Chu Family!"

"Chu Family!"

When Shi Feng asked about the Chu Family, the people in the group all exclaimed in shock. They came from Starshine City, how could they not know of the Chu Family? That was the number one Great Force in Starshine City!

"You know someone from our Starshine City’s Chu Family?" The girl, upon hearing Shi Feng’s question, also asked in surprise.

"Hmm, there is some acquaintance," Shi Feng replied. It seems there is no mistake, it is indeed that Starshine City. These people are planning to return to Starshine City, and it would be just right for him to join them.

However, at that moment, Shi Feng heard someone among them suddenly let out a cold snort, followed by a voice dripping with sarcasm, "These scions hailing from major families naturally know other scions from major families! Humph, aren’t they all the same?"

The one who spoke these words was, of course, the youth named Huu Hao. Upon hearing Huu Hao’s words, many people were reminded of the person who once stole Huu Hao’s childhood sweetheart, who seemed to be closely related to the Chu Family of Starshine City.

When he thought that Shi Feng came from some elite family and had made the acquaintance of the Chu Family of Starshine City, he was instantly reminded of that past, those despicable lovers!

Shi Feng looked at the youth Huu Hao, who had spoken those sarcastic words, then turned away, no longer paying any attention to him.

At this time, the middle-aged man Wenn Sheng spoke, "All right, we should not stay here any longer, let’s move quickly. The beast that slaughtered these demon beasts might appear at any time, and by then, even if we wanted to flee, it would be too late."

Actually, they were unaware that the beast that had slain those demon beasts had already arrived, and was even among them. One wonders what expression they would have if they knew that Shi Feng was the fierce beast that had killed those demon beasts.

Upon hearing Wenn Sheng’s words, everyone quickly realized their predicament and no longer lingered in the area, cautiously retreating toward the outskirts of the mountain forest.

As they made their way out of the forest, these people were still very cautious, always on guard for any danger that might spring from within the woods. Only Shi Feng, seated upon a white tiger, followed behind them with an air of indifference, showing no awareness of potential perils.

The youth named Huu Hao glanced back at the unperturbed Shi Feng and let out another disdainful snort, saying,

"Nowadays, the Demon Beast Mountain Range is fraught with danger. Right upon our arrival, we sensed a sky-piercing murderous aura, and danger could befall us at any given moment. Yet this piece of trash here has no awareness whatsoever. Such a person coming to the Demon Beast Mountain Range—a day will come when he won’t even know how he died."

What he didn’t realize was that the crises of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, the soaring murderous aura, and those powerful demon beast corpses were caused by the very same ’piece of trash’ he was referring to.

"Hush, Huu Hao! Keep your voice down, will you? You wouldn’t want him to overhear," another young woman who had walked up to Huu Hao’s side, aside from the girl Little Yi, whispered a reminder to Huu Hao.

"Hah, afraid?" Huu Hao did not express gratitude upon hearing the woman’s reminder. Instead, he replied with sarcasm and contempt, "You might be afraid of these nobles from major families, but I, Huu Hao, am not! Hmph, one day I, Huu Hao, will stand proudly above the entire Starshine City. Everything that I’ve lost, I will reclaim it on my own merits, with my own hands!"

"Hehe, Huu Hao, are you saying that one day, you, Huu Hao, will surpass the Chu Family, defeat the Tai Family, and snatch back your stolen love?" Another young man walking beside Huu Hao, who had overheard his words, laughed scornfully.

To surpass the Chu Family, to defeat the Tai Family—If Huu Hao could actually accomplish that, it would be defying the heavens! But, seriously, could he, Huu Hao, ever pull it off?

The answer was clear to them; they thought Huu Hao was simply delusional.

Hearing those mocking words, Huu Hao once again let out a cold huff, his face showing a determined expression as he coldly said, "Hmph! Just you all wait and see! There will come a day when each one of you, with faces full of disbelief, will look up to me, Huu Hao! Those things that you dare not even dream of, I, Huu Hao, will make them a reality!"

"Heh, alright then. When that time comes, should we call you Huu Hao the Great Saint or Emperor Huu Hao? Haha, hahaha!"
