Chapter 37 - Shi Hu becomes a Saint King

Hearing He Kaishen's question, He Xianglan sighed slightly: "I'll observe first."

Although He Xianglan was furious earlier that Shi Hu wouldn't give him face, Shura Palace is very mysterious and He Xianglan wouldn't want to become an enemy without knowing its specific strength.

Besides, the Bihai Dynasty and Shura Palace don't have a very strong enmity. Should He Xianglan decide not to pursue the case of Murong Haojun's rescue, the Shura Palace and the Bihai Dynasty would have no complaints.

After all, except for He Kaishen in front of them, only he knows that it was Shura Palace that broke into the Palace to rescue Murong Haojun. To the world, it was decreed that it was the Blood Demon Sect that did the rescuing. 

After all, if he revealed that it was the Shura Palace, it would be a reason for the Shura Palace to ally with the Blood Demon Sect against the Bihai Dynasty.

Of course, although He Xianglan is only observing initially, if he discovers that Shura Palace's strength isn't very strong and has the opportunity to annihilate it completely, he wouldn't hesitate.

Comparing the Shura Palace with the Heavenly Sword Sect, which is located in the Bihai Dynasty, He Xianglan would certainly support the Heavenly Sword Sect if he had to choose a side to act on.

3 days later...

Inside the Shura Palace, a terrifying aura along with a sacred vision, exuding the law of darkness in the shape of a crown, appeared and spread everywhere.

Murong Qing'er, who was tending to her wounded father in a room, couldn't help but look at the vision in the distance and be shocked by what her father said:

"That's a Vision of Advancement for the Sacred King!"

"The one who saved me has become a Saint King," Murong Haojun spoke in shock. He knew well the vision of a Saint King and realized instantly that the aura was the same as the one that saved him.

Saint King, even in the entire Bihai Dynasty, there is only one, the Ancestor of the Royal Family.

Now, in Shura Palace, a Saint King has appeared and as far as he knows, from his daughter, this Saint King is only a subordinate of the Palace Master.

Murong Qing'er, who heard her father's words, couldn't help but think in her heart: 'Shi Hu has reached the Saint King'

'With Song Yang's miraculous methods, no, Master, could he save my father?' Murong Qing'er thought, her face flushing.

'Even if he could, why would he help? After all, why would he give a high-grade sacred medicine to just a servant like me?' Murong Qing'er flashed a self-deprecating smile.

Her father has already told her that, in order to recover his cultivation, he needs a high-grade holy elixir, something that only a Great Saint can get!

On the other side, Shi Hu, who had just broken through and released his aura, which could be seen for thousands of kilometers within the small world of Shura Palace, removed his aura and bowed respectfully to Song Yang, who appeared in front of him:

"I've seen the Palace Master."

"Well, well, Shi Hu, you haven't let me down," Song Yang smiled and praised Shi Hu after confirming that he had reached and stabilized the Saint King realm.

"All thanks to the Palace Master," Shi Hu replied humbly.

Shi Hu wasn't exaggerating. If it hadn't been for the Demonic Origin Pill given to him by Song Yang, it would probably have taken him a decade to finally reach the level of Saint King.

Song Yang laughed lightly at the answer and showed a serious expression: "With your current strength, do you have enough confidence to destroy the Heavenly Sword Sect?"

"I can easily destroy a small Heavenly Sword Sect," Shi Hu replied with a confident expression on his face.

Shi Hu knows the Heavenly Sword Sect well, after all, he accompanied Song Yang to kill Chu Xuanzhe. When he was inside Tianjian City, he used his divine sense and estimated the total strength of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Previously, Song Yang's strength was very low and Shi Hu needed to protect him. But if he were alone, Shi Hu believes that he would have a 50% chance of destroying the sect when he was only a half-step Saint King.

This is because Shi Hu feels that the Heavenly Sword Sect is somewhat mysterious and seems to be hiding some secrets that have caused him a sense of crisis. 

If it were any other second-rate sect, Shi Hu would be sure that he could easily destroy it before it reached the Saint King.

Now that he has finally reached the Saint King, Shi Hu no longer puts a small sect like the Heavenly Sword in his eyes.

"Since you're so confident, I'll give you a mission," Song Yang smiled when he saw Shi Hu's confidence and said: "Completely destroy the Heavenly Sword Sect."

"I want the whole eastern region to know that my Shura Palace is not easy to intimidate!"

"I'll obey the order," Shi Hu replied respectfully before turning into a shadow and finally disappearing.

Looking at Shi Hu's figure turn into a shadow and disappear, Song Yang smiled: "I'll soon be able to open some legendary mystery boxes again."

After finishing speaking, Song Yang thought: 'After the Heavenly Sword Sect was destroyed, it seems it's time for the eighth prince to reappear, haha.'

Some time later, on the outskirts of the Heavenly Sword Sect, countless powerful auras were watching with interest what was about to happen.

The so-called war between Shura Palace and the Heavenly Sword Sect is a major event. It can be said that the number of saints gathered just to observe over the last hundred years is only surpassed by the last competition of geniuses in the eastern region.

In a certain place, watching everything, was a young man accompanied by an old man. If Song Yang had been there, he would have recognized this young man as Ouyang Ling, his cousin.

What's more, Song Yang would have been quite surprised, after all, this cousin was said to have died five years ago...

"Young Master, why are you paying so much attention to a small Shura Palace?" asked the old man with a certain disdain at the mention of the so-called Shura Palace.
