Chapter 680 What? Huang is Shi Hao?
Chapter 680 What? Huang is Shi Hao?
After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he instantly teleported to the front of the stone tablet.
His appearance was silent and ghostly; the surrounding cult leaders didn't even have time to react.
At that moment, a cult leader also stepped forward, wanting to check on the situation of his junior.
The other person was tall and imposing, with a dignified face, and dressed in a brocade Taoist robe, clearly also the head of a sect.
He was taken aback when he saw Xiao Yan suddenly appear in front of him. Then, his brows furrowed slightly, and he shouted sternly, "Where did this brat come from? This stone tablet is only for sect leaders. How dare you, a nobody, come and join the fun? Get out of here!"
Xiao Yan glanced back at him, a hint of mockery in his eyes, but said nothing.
Seeing that Xiao Yan was advancing instead of retreating, the sect leader's face darkened, and he was about to make a move.
However, just as he raised his hand, another cult leader next to him grabbed it.
"Fellow Daoist, do not act rashly!"
The cult leader who had grabbed him cautiously transmitted his voice, "You can't afford to offend this person; he's a friend of that evil star, Zhu Chen!"
"Zhu Chen?"
Upon hearing this, the cult leader's pupils contracted, his hand froze in mid-air, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.
He had naturally heard of Zhu Chen's great reputation.
That ruthless man who could take down a sect leader with a single punch outside Tianyuan City, and whom even Qin Changsheng had to give some face to.
How could he possibly mess with the other party's friends?
"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist."
The sect leader broke out in a cold sweat, quickly withdrew his hand, cupped his hands to Xiao Yan, and then slunk away, not even bothering to check on his junior's condition.
Xiao Yan smiled and ignored the two men.
He turned around, and with a rapid flick of his right hand, wrote two characters on the stone tablet.
—Han Li!
"—Buzz!!!"
The stone tablet trembled and emitted a dazzling golden light.
next second.
On the surface of the monument, a clear image slowly emerged.
The scene depicts a stone staircase area shrouded in a hazy mist.
Han Li was hiding at the corner of a steep stone staircase, his body pressed tightly against the stone wall, draped in a nearly transparent gauze robe.
That was his Spirit Concealment Veil, which could block divine sense from probing.
The scene shows Han Li cautiously peeking out with half his head, observing his surroundings.
His eyes were full of caution, he held several escape talismans in his hand, several array flags were stuck in his waist, and several celestial demon puppets were squatting at his feet, as if he was ready to run away at any time.
Meanwhile.
Not far from Han Li, several cultivators were engaged in a fierce battle.
Those individuals were all highly skilled; their attacks were accompanied by booming spells that caused the heavens and earth to tremble, spiritual energy to surge, and chaos to ensue.
Han Li waited quietly on the edge of this chaos, motionless, looking like a rabbit lurking in the grass.
"Look, what is that Han Li doing?"
"He was actually hiding in the corner, not moving at all?"
"Hahaha... This guy is such a coward! He's inside the Immortal Ancient Ruins, and he's just hiding by the stone steps watching others fight?"
"With this kind of courage, you dare to participate in the Genius Battle? You're simply wasting your spot!"
"Look at him, he's like a rat, always hiding and running. Is he really a cultivator?"
"He brought so many puppets and array flags, yet he didn't even have the courage to go up and fight."
"Even if such a person enters the Immortal Ancient Ruins, he won't have any good fortune. It's better to eliminate him early and save yourself the trouble."
The cult leaders in front of the stone tablet burst into laughter upon seeing Han Li's appearance.
They all pointed at Han Li in the picture, their eyes full of disdain. Xiao Yan wanted to retort, but when he turned to look at Han Li's sleazy appearance in the picture, he couldn't help but twitch his lips a few times, and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"It's so embarrassing."
Xiao Yan shook his head and muttered under his breath, "Third brother, you are a cultivator at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and you have so many magical artifacts on you. Can't you be a little more assertive this time?"
Sun Wukong squatted beside the stone tablet, looking at Han Li in the picture, his face full of confusion: "What is this guy doing? If you're going to fight, just fight, why are you hiding?"
Yang Qi coughed lightly twice and explained slowly, "Everyone has their own way of surviving. This Fellow Daoist Han is cautious and takes things one step at a time, which is perhaps why he has survived to this day..."
Zhu Chen stood at the back of the crowd without saying a word.
He knows Han Li too well.
This guy never fights a battle unprepared.
Especially in a place like the Immortal Ancient Ruins, which is fraught with danger, he cannot act recklessly like Lin Dong.
He would rather hide in the shadows and wait for the right opportunity than rashly step forward.
This is Han Li, a man whose very nature is "cautious".
"Alright, let's find someone else to watch it..."
Unable to bear watching Han Li's scene any longer, Yang Qi stepped forward and wrote another name on the stone tablet.
—Shi Hao!
"—Buzz!"
The stone tablet trembled again.
Screen switch.
The sight that appeared this time made everyone gasp in shock.
In the scene, Shi Hao is seen fighting against more than a dozen cultivators.
Those cultivators all exuded powerful auras, clearly indicating that they were core disciples of their respective sects.
Two of them possessed an aura far surpassing that of the others.
"Look, isn't that Jian Wuxin, the young master of Sword Valley?"
"And there's also the young master of Fire Cloud Cave, Fire Cloud Evil Child!"
"These two are both prodigies of ancient times! Although they can't compare to Ning Chuan, a six-time champion, they are definitely top-tier experts among the younger generation!"
"That lower realm sinner is being attacked by so many people at once? He's doomed!"
"What a waste of such a promising talent!"
"Mount Bulao is going to suffer heavy losses this time!"
"You can't say that. This Shi Hao is the brother of that evil star Zhu Chen. His methods are beyond our comprehension. Moreover, he obtained the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique in the Tianyuan Secret Realm last time..."
"Wait, wasn't it Huang who obtained the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique?"
"Huang is Shi Hao, don't you know that?"
"What? Huang is Shi Hao?"
A murmur of discussion immediately arose in the room.
Some people were gloating, while others felt sorry for Qin Changsheng.
But most people were excited!
They were all eager to see how long this lower realm sinner, Shi Hao, the brother of the fiend Zhu Chen, could withstand the siege of so many experts.
In fact, it's not just those cult leaders at this moment.
Xiao Yan and Sun Wukong were also eager to know whether Shi Hao could withstand the siege of so many young supreme beings.
Especially Sun Wukong, who was a new member who had just joined the chat group and didn't have a concrete idea of the strength of many people in the group.
The fact that Shi Hao was besieged by so many young geniuses this time was a good opportunity for him to observe just how strong the 'veterans' in this group really were.
