Chapter 1250 - 1247: Prepare the Tombstone

Everyone was taken aback.

Qin Wushuang angrily said, "What do you mean by that?"

Chu Hao said indifferently, "I'm not killing him today; I'll keep this dog's life alive, not out of respect for you. Anyone wants to cause me trouble, they're welcome to try."

Someone among the Purple Guard angrily responded, "You're too arrogant."

"I'm naturally arrogant, what can you do about it?" Chu Hao replied, arms crossed.

"Ding... Arrogant pretentiousness, gaining seventy thousand Pretentiousness Points."

Everyone was speechless. They had seen arrogance before, but never this extreme. Truly lawless, and with shameless bravado.

Qin Wushuang's face was expressionless, but inside he was very displeased.

Chu Hao looked down at Jiang Haoyue and said, "Your brother can find trouble with me anytime, but you'd better prepare his tombstone."

Jiang Haoyue was sweating from pain but said nothing.

Having said this, Chu Hao turned and left.

This guy is too crazy; even Jiang Haotian doesn't scare him.

"Are you okay?" someone came up to inquire about Jiang Haoyue.

Jiang Haoyue was sweating coldly from the pain. His leg was broken and could be treated, but it would leave lasting side effects.

Why did Zhang Han dare to do such a thing when his brother was a notable figure among the Purple Guard?

Soon, discussions in the Purple Guard center around Chu Hao.

"It's the first time we have a newcomer being so arrogant."

"His name is Zhang Han. I heard during the Blue-Robed evaluation, he joined the Purple Guard with outstanding results."

"Heh heh… just arrived and already so arrogant. Let's see what happens later on. Jiang Haotian is not to be trifled with, having broken his brother's leg in public."

"In any case, there will be good drama to watch."

...

North Burial Mountain.

Regarding Jiang Haoyue's matters, Chu Hao didn't care at all. After arriving at North Burial Mountain, he felt an eerie atmosphere.

It seemed countless eyes were watching him.

"Gah gah!" A strange laughter sounded, and an Evil Ghost of Asura level emerged from below the Earth Veins, its terrifying Ghost Qi certainly reaching the Asura Heavenly Rank Level.

It's a Heavenly Evil Ghost of the Middle Vehicle Realm, perfectly fitting.

The Evil Ghost sneered, extending a pale hand toward Chu Hao's throat.

When Chu Hao was about to strike, he suddenly found he couldn't move, and he was shocked.

It appeared the Evil Ghost grabbed his throat, and he instantly felt suffocated.

What was going on?

Suddenly, Chu Hao saw Ghost Eyes in the Evil Ghost's eyes, which affected him.

Chu Hao's pupils emitted a golden flame, the Golden Eye Fire ignited on the Evil Ghost, which unleashed a miserable scream and released its grip.

"Buzz!"

Endless Sword sliced forth; the Evil Ghost was immediately pierced by the sword's shadows, uttering cries before disappearing.

Unexpectedly, the System did not provide a notification of Experience Points gained.

"Gah gah!" That strange laughter appeared again.

"Is it an illusion?"

Chu Hao was not nervous; years of training made him calmly handle minor matters.

Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils began to flow with golden flames, which ignited the surrounding area, burning the entire scene as if it were a painting consumed by fire.

The Evil Ghost ahead, now exposed in the woods, was observing him.

As expected, it's a Ghost Illusion Technique.

"A very high-level evil spirit illusion."

Chu Hao looked at the Evil Ghost, and countless Endless Swords shot out, but when recognized, the spirit turned to flee, quite clever.

However, Endless Sword was too fast, pinning it to the tree trunk, causing it to utter a harrowing scream.

As Chu Hao approached, looking through Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils, he discovered the Evil Ghost was merely Asura Heavenly Rank of the Lesser Vehicle Realm.

Chu Hao mumbled, "Are all ghosts in Shanhai Realm this strong?"

In the Ghost Illusion Technique just now, the opponent's strength was in the Heavenly Middle Vehicle Realm.

He reached out, and Endless Sword shredded the Evil Ghost.

"Ding... Killed a Heavenly Lesser Vehicle Realm Evil Ghost, gained 100,000 Experience Points."

"Ding... Acquired a drop of Yu Ling Tree Cultivation Liquid."

"Crap! Only 100,000? Why is it getting less?"

The Experience Points are too few.

However, Chu Hao liked this place; it's a perfect area for farming Experience Points, breaking a drop of Cultivation Liquid just now.

As he traveled along, almost without searching, Evil Ghosts would come looking for him, harboring intense hatred toward the living.

Thus, Chu Hao continued deeper, encountering various Fierce Ghosts.

Truthfully, Chu Hao also had misgivings; ghosts can be good or bad, why in Shanhai Realm are there so many Fierce Ghosts.

Moreover, this intense hatred Fierce Ghosts harbored toward the living seemed abnormal.

He grabbed a Fierce Ghost to inquire the reason.

Chu Hao asked, "Does seeing a living person evoke your hatred? You were also living before you died, right?"

The subdued Fierce Ghost spat venomously, "The Yin-Yang Practitioners and Underworld deserve to die; for survival, you treat us as disposable, and we need to rise up and overthrow your rule."

"Tell me, why do they deserve to die?"

The Fierce Ghost grimly laughed, "Don't think you can get anything from me."

With that said, the Fierce Ghost chose self-destruction.

Chu Hao hurriedly retreated; the immense Soul Force explosion shook his soul.

Just what did people in the Shanhai Realm do, to evoke such intense hatred among ghosts, even willing to self-destruct to kill?

At this moment, a pleasant voice came from nearby, saying, "Most Fierce Ghosts in Shanhai Realm have been brainwashed by Ghost Gods. Talking to them is useless."

Chu Hao turned and saw Su Yao, wearing a face veil, together with Xin Yun, having witnessed his questioning of Fierce Ghost.

Chu Hao asked, "Brainwashing! Are the Ghost Gods really that powerful, to brainwash all the world's ghosts?"

Xin Yun replied, "It's not really brainwashing; it's a baptism of rules, and once a ghost has died, they undergo a baptism of the laws of Ghost Gods, influencing them with extreme hatred toward living people in the Yang Realm and Netherworld Officers. It's all a conspiracy by the Ghost Gods."

Chu Hao said, "Are you really sure about this?"

Xin Yun asked with doubt, "Why do you find it so strange? This is recorded in historical texts. Don't tell me you haven't read Shanhai Realm's chronicles."

The Yin-Yang Practitioners in Shanhai Realm start reading chronicles since they learn to read, which is why everyone in Shanhai Realm is aware of this.

Xin Yun laughed, "Are you really from Shanhai Realm?"

Chu Hao shrugged and said, "I never view things from a unilateral perspective; doing so would only lower my intelligence."

Xin Yun said indignantly, "Are you implying we have no intelligence?"

Chu Hao replied, "I didn't say that, you did."

Su Yao intervened, "Xin Yun, let's go."

Xin Yun huffed, "You newcomer, you're really too crazy. Be careful not to capsize in the gutter."

As the two were about to leave, Chu Hao asked, "Can I ask, how many Fierce Ghosts are there in North Burial Mountain?"

Su Yao turned around, her eyes clear, and said, "Countless, in the depths of North Burial Mountain's Earth Veins, there are endless Ghost Caves, from which Fierce Ghosts climb out."

Ghost Caves?

Chu Hao was delighted. It indeed seemed to be a promising place.

Su Yao said, "It's getting dark; I advise you not to stay in North Burial Mountain at night. In its depths, Asura Ghost Kings appear; as we hunt them, they hunt us as well."

Ah! That's gonna be tricky; encountering a Ghost Emperor level would spell trouble.

The two soon left.

As it was getting dark, Chu Hao also felt it was unsafe to stay in North Burial Mountain, and he left shortly afterward.
