Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 174: Ancient Relic

Chapter 174 -174: Ancient Relic

Bai Fei was extremely arrogant, so even in such a situation, he still wanted to assert his presence.

Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, do not underestimate the poor when they are young.

But why did you make a move?

Bai Fei quickly retreated, his greatest strength being his movement technique. He once defeated Yue Junxian, leaving him in a disarray with his skill.

However, in front of Shi Hao’s Cloud Piercing Step, this was insufficient.

Not only could he not shake Shi Hao off, but the distance between them was also rapidly closing.

They were within three zhang now.

Shi Hao threw a punch, bang, just one strike, and Bai Fei’s body stopped, his eyes bulging, with blood and tears seeping out.

His internal organs were shattered, and he could hardly cling to life.

Shi Hao looked at him coldly. This boy was untamable and full of a murderous instinct. Even if he had started to run, Shi Hao would not have let him go.

—Like the other disciples of the Kuangsha Sect with mediocre talent who were unlikely to amount to anything, even if given a chance to live, they would only hide their names and scrape by, not daring to let anyone discover their identities.

But Bai Fei was different.

If this boy was not eliminated, he would undoubtedly pose a threat to the White Cloud Sect or the innocent people of the world in the future. So, how could Shi Hao possibly show mercy?

He certainly did not have the bad habit of fostering enemies.

Bang, Bai Fei fell to the ground with a loud thud, his face marked with intense regret.

If he had known earlier, why would he have provoked Shi Hao?

“I should be going now,” Xia Mengyin said, but her hand holding the Snow Spirit Cat showed no intention of letting go, her action of taking advantage quite obvious.

Shi Hao smiled and said, “They have dug up an ancient relic. Are you interested in taking a look?”

Xia Mengyin originally dismissed the idea, but thinking of the Ninefold Mountain, she changed her mind, “Alright.”

They went to the Kuangsha Sect and found the ancient script that Fu Yang and others had unearthed. It was very old and written in an incomprehensible script.

Xia Mengyin glanced at it and said, “This is the script of the Poyi Tribe, and this is not a martial arts Cultivation Technique, but a Prayer Scripture they used in their heavenly sacrifices.”

Uh.

Shi Hao now wished Fu Yang and the others could hear this firsthand. It would certainly make them so angry they’d vomit blood.

A bunch of Other Shore Realm powerhouses working together to decipher, only to find out it’s a Prayer Scripture, is simply a huge joke.

“Then let’s go check out the ancient relic,” Shi Hao suggested again.

Xia Mengyin thought for a moment and agreed once more. Although the Prayer Scripture wasn’t valuable, it proved to be an ancient object, and it was known that long ago, this was not the Cursed Land.

There definitely must be people from the Kuangsha Sect who didn’t have the chance to flee. Call them over to ask, and it would be easy to find out the location of the relic.

In fact, the location of the relic was not a secret, but the guard forces there were very strong, and excavations were still underway, far from finished.

The two set out, and as for the big yellow dog and the Snow Spirit Cat, they were left behind for now. With their strength and craftiness, there should be no safety concerns.

A day later, they arrived at the location.

It was still by the seaside, revealing a huge excavation site.

Huh?

Shi Hao and Xia Mengyin found that the place was eerily silent.

One should know, even though the Kuangsha Sect was done for, given the distance was too great, and nobody would specifically come to notify them, by all rights this place should still be buzzing with activity.

Why was there not a soul in sight?

“Strange!” Shi Hao almost thought they had the wrong place.

But the excavation traces here were fresh, definitely not an ancient site that had been abandoned for a long time.

What’s going on?

Xia Mengyin also became somewhat curious; she moved lightly on her feet, taking the lead.

Shi Hao followed, reassured by the presence of an Almighty from the Founding King Court.

They entered the excavation site, which was about three Zhang lower than the flat ground, and with the sky already dark, it felt gloomy and damp.

Moreover, the area was too open, as if there were only the two of them. Even a slightly heavier footstep would echo, causing a chilling feeling inside one’s heart.

Shi Hao did not believe in ghosts or gods and was thus fearless in his heart, whereas Xia Mengyin, on the other hand, showed a slight tension.

After all, she was a woman.

There really wasn’t much to see at this excavation site; it used to be a residential area, but for some reason, the entire place had sunk below ground level.

All the items from the houses had already been moved out; now you could only see empty houses here, so it was quite easy to quickly sweep through the area. There wasn’t much worth studying.

However, when they reached the end of the excavation site, they discovered a passage.

Oh?

Shi Hao and Xia Mengyin looked at each other, could it be… had the workers run off to the other end of the passage?

“Let’s go.”

This time, it was Shi Hao who took the lead.

Young people are often fearless due to their ignorance.

He strode forward, and boom, a ball of fire ignited about three Zhang in front of him, advancing as he did. It seemed as if an invisible hand was holding it up.

—Using the Fire Element and Soul Power for illumination was a no-frills affair.

Thanks to that, the passage was now brightly lit.

“Oh!”

Shi Hao suddenly stopped in his tracks, and Xia Mengyin, a step behind him, had her view blocked; thus, she stepped aside to look ahead.

Under the blazing firelight, it was clear that there was a corpse lying in front of them.

But this wasn’t your ordinary dead body; this corpse seemed to have had a great shock before death, its face twisted in horror. Also, its body was shriveled, as though it was a mummified cadaver that had been dead for countless years.

“Could the missing workers have been frightened by this mummified corpse?” Shi Hao speculated.

Xia Mengyin shook her head, “A mummified corpse could only scare ordinary people. With the Other Shore Realm experts stationed here, how could they possibly be afraid?”

But having found an ancient mummified corpse, were they simply going to leave it lying here?

“Let’s go,” urged Xia Mengyin, though she said this, her feet did not move.

Wasn’t this clearly a way to make Shi Hao lead the way?

Shi Hao was surprised, “Are you scared?”

Seriously, if you know, must you say it out loud?

Xia Mengyin wished she could kick him but retorted firmly, “Impossible!”

Obviously scared, can’t you see your face has gone white?

However, this time Shi Hao was wise enough not to argue further, as it didn’t matter in the end.

Shi Hao stepped forward, and Xia Mengyin hurriedly followed, almost in lockstep.

Earlier outside, there was a distance of at least three Zhang between them, but now it was reduced to barely one Zhang.

Heh, still claim not to be scared!

After all, she was a woman, and even from the Founding King Court, such instincts couldn’t readily be changed.

Shi Hao didn’t bother pointing it out, for after all, he was a man, a gentleman, and there was no need to nitpick with a woman.

They hadn’t walked far when another twisted-faced mummified corpse appeared in front of them.

“Oh!”

This time, Shi Hao showed a surprised expression and pointed at the object in the corpse’s hand, “Look.”

It was a shovel for excavation.
