Chapter 26 - The Saint King appears

"Silvo." Hearing Shi Hu's words, most of the cultivators in the city, who were still immobilized by the terrifying aura, couldn't help but take a deep breath, at the same time thinking: 'Brother, you are truly ferocious. You even dare to speak those words to the ancestor who has reached the cultivation level of the Saint King.

"Very good, very good." He Xianglin couldn't help feeling furious when he heard Shi Hu's words. How long had it been since he had been treated like this?

In this eastern region, except for the two holy lands, who doesn't treat him with extreme respect? Even the masters of the three supersects give him three courtesy points.

Now, a little half-step Saint King dared to defy his orders in front of the entire dynasty.

If he didn't kill Shi Hu now, wouldn't he be showing the world that he and even the entire Bihai Dynasty are easy to intimidate? Even a mere half-step Saint King can come to the capital of the Bihai Dynasty, cause a ruckus and get away with it?

Don't say a half-step Saint King; even a true Saint King who dares to come and make a fuss in the capital will only have one way to die!

Normally, He Xianglan doesn't get involved in the affairs of the dynasty, but the battle between Shi Hu and Lu Fangran really caused quite a stir.

He planned to just observe, after all it wasn't a life and death situation for the dynasty. Besides, it's common sense that ancestral-level figures only appear at times of crisis that could threaten to destroy the entire dynasty.

However, when he realized that Shi Hu really did intend to kill Lu Fangran publicly inside the dynasty capital, he couldn't stand by.

After all, Shi Hu was practically slapping the Bihai dynasty in the face. If the commander of the imperial guard died in front of everyone and inside the imperial capital, how would the Bihai dynasty have the courage to say that it was one of the top ten forces in the eastern region?

And the only person who could really suppress him at that moment was him, He Xianglan, the ancestor of the Bihai dynasty.

But who would have thought that, by coming forward and ordering Shi Hu to stop, Shi Hu wouldn't mind his warning and even managed to resist his aura, killing Lu Fangran in front of him.

After killing Lu Fangran, Shi Hu even dared to speak those bold words, saying that even he would dare to kill.

How can someone who has been at the top of the eastern region for thousands of years accept being reprimanded in public for what he considers a simple ant?

No longer able to contain his murderous intent towards Shi Hu, a sacred manifestation covering the entire capital appeared, taking the form of a crown ablaze with three stars.

Saint King of Three Stars!

Seeing the aura of a Three-Star Saint King exuded by the old man in front of him, even the arrogant Shi Hu couldn't help but take a few steps back.

If he didn't have to protect Murong Haojun who was in his hand, Shi Hu was confident that he could withstand a few moves from He Xianglan.

But at that moment, if they really fought, Shi Hu wouldn't be able to guarantee Murong Haojun's safety, which was unacceptable to him. 

After all, in his mind, the mission Song Yang had given him was to save Murong Haojun, and that was more important than anything, even his own life.

With this in mind, Shi Hu smiled and said to the old man, a little bent over, who was holding a cane in front of him: 'Goodbye, another day I'll fulfill my promise to kill you haha.

"Um, do you think you can escape?" He Xianglan snorted coldly and slammed his cane into the void, sealing the space around him.

In front of him, how could a mere half-step Saint King escape? Now that he has sealed the space, unless such a person has a talisman that breaks the void or their cultivation is superior to his, it is impossible to escape.

But how could Shi Hu have a void-breaking talisman?

This is a talisman that only a Quasi-Emperor can create. Even in the entire Bihai dynasty, there is only one that is closely guarded in the royal treasury, left by the founding emperor who obtained it on an adventure in a secret kingdom.

But in the next second, his confident expression froze slightly when he saw Shi Hu and Murong Haojun start to turn into shadows and disappear in front of him.

He Xianglan reacted quickly and attacked with the sacred law of flame, but when the attack finally reached the place where the two had originally been, they had already disappeared.

"How is this possible?" He Xianglan appeared at the spot where they originally stood and was a little surprised. How could a half-step Saint King escape in front of him, even with the space sealed?

Even if Shi Hu had used a void-breaking talisman, there would be a residual aura from the talisman. However, Shi Hu simply disappeared and even with his knowledge, he couldn't understand how it had happened.

Instantly, his divine consciousness covered thousands of kilometers, but he still couldn't find any trace of the two of them.

"Damn it" He Xianglan cursed before disappearing from the scene and heading towards the palace.

He wanted to ask the current emperor who this person was and what force he was part of to dare to act so arrogantly inside the dynastic capital.

Because the method Shi Hu used to escape made him a little afraid; after all, everyone fears the unknown.

Unlike Lu Fangran, he had no idea that a force called Shura Palace had emerged on the continent in the last month.

On the other side, thousands of kilometers away, where the eye can only see countless beautiful mountains, a shadow began to appear followed by a terrifying aura.

That shadow was Shi Hu and Murong Haojun!

And the way Shi Hu just escaped at that moment was by using the Shadow Demon's innate ability: Shadow Transformation!
