Chapter 1608 - 1503: Kill Mark

"Sect Leader, letting Qin Hao go in like this seems inappropriate; wouldn’t it set a bad example for the disciples?"

An Elder stood up to voice his objection: "If we violate sect rules and murder our comrades, it’s not a problem as long as we can redeem ourselves by making merits. If all disciples think this way, it will be detrimental to the sect’s development in the future!"

Clearly, within the Inner Sect, Kong Denghui was not without allies.

On the contrary, as the Vice Sect Leader, he still had many followers.

This Elder with a red face and big nose was one such supporter.

Lei Dingtian frowned, he didn’t expect to encounter opposition.

Li Tongtian shouted loudly: "Old drunkard, since when did you become part of Kong Denghui’s gang? Did he gift you a fine bottle of wine last time, and now you’re kneeling to him?"

"Don’t falsely accuse me!" The red-faced Elder’s face grew even redder. "I am just speaking based on the facts, and besides, who knows if Qin Hao can even make amends? Perhaps he can’t even beat a low-level disciple of the Wuji Sect."

"Heh." Upon hearing this, Li Tongtian scoffed.

How could someone who made it to the seventh level of Gale Prison be weak?

Moreover, Qin Hao was able to kill Ren Zhengfei, how could he not be capable?

"Qin Hao, show the Old Drunkard Elder your skills."

He merely said it casually, not expecting Qin Hao’s Void Storage Ring to flash, revealing a severed head in his hand—the unwillingly dead Refining Dragon Child.

"Now, what do you have to say?" Li Tongtian held up the head of Refining Dragon Child, tauntingly looking at the Elder.

"You!" The red face was trembling with anger.

He had actually intended just to make a statement, not genuinely stop Qin Hao, yet he hadn’t expected to be utterly refuted by Li Tongtian.

"Enough, no need to argue further. I said, even if Qin Hao makes merit, severe punishment is unavoidable. If no merits are made, immediate death penalty."

Lei Dingtian was fed up with the Inner Sect’s infighting, issuing a command, and said to Qin Hao, "You may enter now."

...

Elsewhere, the Wuji Sect people witnessed Kong Denghui leaving, all with confused expressions.

An Elder puzzledly asked: "Why did Kong Denghui leave?"

Daoist Shan Xu did not speak; through the barrier, his gaze fell on Qin Hao, filled with resentment and hatred.

"Uncle Master, is this the guy who killed Refining Dragon Child?" Cangkui softly asked.

"Yes..." Daoist Shan Xu squeezed out this word from his throat, obviously with extreme hatred for Qin Hao.

"This kid not only killed Refining Dragon Child but also caused Uncle Master to suffer a great loss; he must die!" Another Elder spoke in anger.

At this moment, the barrier opposite opened, and Lei Dingtian’s voice came through: "I want to send another disciple in, how about it?"

This statement, of course, Wuji Sect would not object.

They were precisely planning to find a way to kill Qin Hao, and now a good opportunity appeared, how could they miss it?

"I have no objections."

"Neither do I."

Immediately, the decision was made, Daoist Shan Xu coldly said: "Perform the spell."

He and Cangkui flew out, using Spiritual Qi to control the Heaven-Reaching Bowl.

On the opposite side, Huashan Sect’s Li Tongtian and Lei Dingtian also made their moves.

A mass of light sprang out from the Heaven-Reaching Bowl, landing above Qin Hao’s head.

And then, Qin Hao disappeared from the spot.

...

"Uncle Master, did you just place the death mark on this kid?"

Once Qin Hao disappeared, Cangkui quietly inquired.

"Indeed." A trace of coldness and smugness crossed Daoist Shan Xu’s face.

Upon hearing this, the other Elders all smiled knowingly.

"Haha! So that’s it, that kid is doomed!"

"Yes, the death mark can only be sensed by our sect’s disciples. With the mark on him, he’s like a firefly at night; all our disciples can locate him. How will he escape?"

"In that case, the kid is definitely doomed!"

...

...

Before Qin Hao was a crimson sky.

This small world had no sun, but red rays were everywhere.

"This small world seems not big, merely the size of a few cities."

Qin Hao glanced around, instinctively realized, soon revealing a greedy expression: "If one day I could have such a treasure, bringing it to store things as well as rear spirit beast servants, wouldn’t it be delightful?"

"Looks like if necessary, I should seize this treasure from old ghost Shan Xu; he dared to glare at me like that earlier!"

What Daoist Shan Xu didn’t know was that the first thing Qin Hao did upon entering the Heaven-Reaching Bowl was plot against him.

"No." The greedy emotion hadn’t lasted three seconds; suddenly, Qin Hao’s brow twitched violently.

This was the sign sensing danger.

He looked around and noticed, far away, there were columns of Qi shooting into the sky, in different directions, totaling nine.

"This is the location of the Nine-sided Brocade Banner?" Qin Hao came to a revelation.

Before entering this world, Lei Dingtian had specifically briefed him about the rules.

Reaching the endpoint and acquiring the most Brocade Banner meant victory for the sect.

"Since I’ve come, these banners certainly must all be mine. But, what’s with this sense of crisis?"

Qin Hao stroked his jaw in thought, momentarily startled, and suddenly sighted several figures rapidly approaching from afar.

"That... is Wuji Sect’s people?!"

Qin Hao’s eyes gradually narrowed.

He hadn’t expected Wuji Sect’s people to find him so soon.

The direction he was in was clearly the starting point; it’s impossible for them to be here without reason.

Therefore, there was only one reason.

—They came to kill him!

Judging from the fluctuations of those few figures, they were extremely powerful, at the prodigy-level in Huashan Sect.

Though Qin Hao had slain Ren Zhengfei, he wasn’t blindly arrogant.

He understood, under the encirclement of three, he had no capital to trade injuries.

To win this battle, he had to plan cautiously.

After observing the surroundings, Qin Hao’s eyes lit up, and he darted into a nearby dense forest.

...

Not far away.

Three figures rapidly sped across, each step several feet, showcasing the deep Spiritual Qi of the person.

Leading them was the notorious Blood Child, with a bloated figure and short limbs.

"Boss, Liu Qinglong and others went to grab the Brocade Banner, why are we chasing this prey?"

At this moment, a man in black tight clothes beside him asked.

While running, Blood Child saw Qin Hao escape into the dense forest, sneering, "That prey has the death mark; it’s a must-kill target for our sect. Liu Qinglong didn’t want to come, naturally, only I came!"

"But... capturing the Brocade Banner, killing Huashan Sect people yield the great reward. We’ve given all the big rewards to Liu Qinglong and Poisonous Spider, is that good?"

Another bald-headed disciple couldn’t help but speak.

"Hmph." Blood Child’s face turned grim, without replying.

The bald disciple’s voice gradually lowered: "Blood Child Senior, in fact, I think with your strength, you are not inferior to Poisonous Spider and who left..."
