Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 165 - : Cursed Land

Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Cursed Land

Shi Hao was truly undistracted and harbored no ulterior motives, wholeheartedly helping the woman by promoting circulation and unlocking her acupoints.

What he hoped for most now was to quickly heal the woman and have her leave, lest she affects his martial arts dedication.

The tigress was indeed quite impressive.

In just under an hour, Shi Hao withdrew his hands.

The woman’s starry eyes were still hazy with allure, exuding the charm of spring waters, and she could not regain her composure for a long time.

After a good while, she finally asked, “What is your name?”

After all, Shi Hao was her benefactor.

“Shi Hao.”

Seeing that Shi Hao stopped after only mentioning his name, the woman couldn’t help but feel astonished, aren’t you going to ask my name?

Do I have absolutely no charm in your eyes?

If Shi Hao had actually been playing hard to get, her intelligence and experience would certainly have allowed her to see through it at a glance, but from the previous healing experience, she was sure that Shi Hao was not that type of person!

What a dull man!

She had no choice but to introduce herself, “My surname is Xia, and my name is Mengyin.”

If it were in her world, upon hearing her name, the other party would certainly be shocked beyond belief.

Shi Hao just uttered an “Oh,” and then with a thought, he asked, “Did you come from across the sea?”

“Indeed.” Xia Mengyin nodded in confirmation without hesitation.

“How long does it take to cross the sea to the Other Shore?” Shi Hao asked full of curiosity.

“Do you want to leave?” Xia Mengyin asked back instead.

Shi Hao nodded. If he stayed here, reaching enlightenment or taking one step beyond on this shore would make him undoubtedly invincible in the world, but that was not his pursuit.

Climbing the path of martial arts was itself a great pleasure.

But if he remained here, although he wasn’t lacking in Cultivation Techniques, he had no experience in breaking through; moving beyond the Other Shore, he could only grope his way blindly. If he took even a slight detour, it could not only waste time but might even lead to deviation and death.

Moreover, he guessed that Lin Yuyue and the fatty had likely gone to the Other Shore; thus, his origins were also likely to be uncovered there.

So, he was definitely going to leave.

Xia Mengyin thought for a moment, then drew a circle on the ground with her hand: “Our world is called Yunding Star, vast beyond measure, comprised of four continents, separated by the sea.”

She drew four smaller circles within the larger one to represent the four continents.

Shi Hao nodded, “So which continent are we on?”

Xia Mengyin glanced at him and then randomly marked a spot where the sea was represented, “We are here.”

“What!” Shi Hao was shocked, “Are we just an island?”

“Correct.” Xia Mengyin affirmed, “Compared to the four continents, this is merely a slightly larger island!”

Shi Hao found it unbelievable; he had personally traversed the vastness of the land, and if this was to be considered just an island, how incredibly huge were the four continents mentioned by Xia Mengyin?

“This island is also known as the Cursed Land,” Xia Mengyin added another piece of information.

“The Cursed Land?” Shi Hao frowned, this did not sound like a good place at all.

Xia Mengyin, however, did not directly explain, but instead asked, “Here, how many people possess a Spirit Root?”

“In terms of ratio, maybe one in a million,” Shi Hao considered and then replied.

Xia Mengyin smiled, suddenly blooming like thousands of flowers simultaneously blossoming, stunningly beautiful, “But on these four continents, nearly one in every hundred people possesses a Spirit Root.”

This!

Shi Hao was truly shocked, one in every hundred people possessing a Spirit Root was an alarmingly high ratio.

No wonder this place was called the Cursed Land.

But why?

“It’s impossible for things to suddenly become like this without any reason.”

Shi Hao wanted to say more, but his expression suddenly turned stern.

“Someone’s coming after us!”

Without giving Xia Mengyin a chance to speak, he scooped her up and bolted.

Xia Mengyin immediately felt both embarrassed and angry. How dare this man carry her without even asking permission?

Pah!

Even if he did ask, it wouldn’t be okay. Considering her pure and untainted reputation, if people from her continent found out, perhaps billions from the Great Sects’ disciples of cultivation would join hands to reduce this guy to dust, right?

Hey, why am I even worried about him?

The big yellow dog, however, was incredibly slick, not waiting for Shi Hao’s command and already slipping away first, taking a different route and thus making itself even safer.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, four figures were rapidly closing in from behind.

All four were powerful beings from the Other Shore, astonishingly none from the Kuangsha Sect, but instead elders who had defected from the White Cloud Sect, Leihuo Sect, and the like.

Shi Hao recognized one of them, Xie Zheng, the Ninth Elder.

“Shi Hao, won’t you surrender and kneel!” Xie Zheng shouted commandingly.

Shi Hao laughed heartily, “Old fogey, you seem quite proud to be someone else’s lapdog. I really don’t know how you have the face to keep living!”

“Impudent child!” Xie Zheng, incensed, his whiskers bristling.

Xia Mengyin couldn’t help but smile. She hadn’t expected Shi Hao to have this side to him.

It seemed that the young man wasn’t dull, but rather he hadn’t devoted any thought to romance, or to put it another way, he had yet to realize the existence of something called love.

Indeed, it could be quite… Pah, pah, pah, what am I even thinking about?

So what if he’s a bit good-looking? Is that enough to disrupt my cultivation repeatedly?

However, she had to admit that this young man was the most handsome she had ever seen. Next to him, those elegant disciples from the Great Sect just couldn’t compare, not by a long shot.

Pah, why am I still thinking such random thoughts?

She looked back at the four pursuers from the Other Shore and couldn’t hide a trace of worry.

If she could take action, she would be able to cut down the four with a single thought, but she was unable to fight now, and Shi Hao was just in the Soul Nurturing phase, how could he resolve this crisis?

As she looked back, it allowed Xie Zheng and the others to see her clearly.

Even though they were accustomed to beauty, they too were stunned in this instance.

How could there be such a peerlessly beautiful woman?

Her beauty was so otherworldly that even these old hands, who had played with countless women, felt like young boys experiencing their first love, their hearts racing uncontrollably with a strong desire to possess her.

For this beauty, they would even dare to assassinate Fu Yang!

Suddenly, like chickens injected with adrenaline, they became excited.

We must catch Shi Hao and secure this woman!

They hastened their chase.

What to do?

Xia Mengyin resolutely decided that if these four really caught up to them, she would take action regardless of the consequences.

With her reputation of purity, how could she fall into the hands of these men?

Hum, right then, she saw a light emerge behind Shi Hao’s head, so intense it was even more dazzling than the sun. Even though it wasn’t directed at her, in such darkness the brilliance made her involuntarily close her eyes.

“Ah!” Xie Zheng and the others screamed in agony.

Even if they were prepared, the speed of the light was too fast. How could they dodge it?

Their eyes were almost blinded!
