Chapter 1537 - Beat Down

When Jin Family’s elder said this, the originally lively scene immediately became much more quiet. They all turned around.

This place seemed to have become a bit stiff, because this really did ruin the atmosphere considerably. Jin Family’s people actually dared to make this type of demand at this time.

Of course, there were some people who believed that this was perhaps reasonable, because the rotten wooden chest was related to too much, for the public’s sake, Shi Hao needed to hand it over for the various clans’ elders to research.

However, most of them sensed the Jin Family’s elder did this on purpose, doing this with the intention of oppressing Huang.

It was because the disturbance Shi Hao produced was a bit too great, making the foreign side lead great armies to surround Heavenly Beast Forest, to the extent where it even resulted in a great battle between supreme beings. Meanwhile, the ‘perpetrator’ came back safely, so all attention was concentrated on him right now.

Previously, almost ninety percent of people believed that Shi Hao was going to die outside the pass, destined to die an untimely death. However now, it was a completely different matter.

Forget about everything else, just Shi Hao’s vigor alone, the bravery to overturn Desolate border left Imperial Pass in shock, he really was stunning.

Let alone the fact that he successfully brought the wooden chest back!

Even the other side was dead set on obtaining this thing. Now that he seized it, bringing it back to Imperial Pass, this was a huge matter, as well as a tremendous contribution.

Regardless of what happened, Shi Hao had to be granted a reward. He moved unstoppably through Desolate Border, drawing sighs of admiration from all clans.

Jin Family’s people coming out at this time was clearly to suppress his ‘brilliance’, delivering a targeted blow. To be more precise, they wanted to weaken his limelight, suppress his fame.

This brought about the dissatisfaction of some people, for example, the Heavenly Horned Ant, Cao Yusheng, and Chang Gongyan, all of their expressions changing.

Qing Yi spoke up, saying, “Shi Hao brought back such an important wooden chest, his contributions so great, it could even be said to be an extraordinary achievement, no matter what you think of it, it needs to be respected. Meanwhile, you hold this type of attitude, presenting this type of appearance, are you not scared of drawing cold looks from the masses?”

These words were calm, but their weight wasn’t light, making the expression of Jin Family’s elder immediately change.

“Well spoken! Huang risked life and limb, slaughtering left and right outside Desolate Border, bringing back a supreme treasure, yet you are so cold, what are you trying to say?” Cao Yusheng also questioned fiercely.

There were some people who were upset, complaining about injustice.

There weren’t only youngsters here, some older generation figures from various clans were also startled, rushing over, wishing to learn more about the situation.

When they saw this, many of them revealed strange expressions.

Of course, there were naturally some who were partial to Jin Family, the followers and families that had close relationships with them.

“Senior Jin doesn’t have any bad intentions, it is you who is too sensitive, overthinking things.” Someone said.

“Cough!” An old woman even more so coughed, saying, “You should just hand over the wooden chest. We will ask the higher ups to research it.”

Those affiliated with Jin Family spoke up one after another. Even though they admitted Shi Hao made contributions, they still demanded the wooden chest, moreover pressuring him to do so.

Their attitudes were clearly the same, which was matching the tone of the Jin Family elder who spoke out before, wishing to suppress Shi Hao’s brilliance no matter what.

Chang Gongyan spoke up, speaking seriously, “If everyone here was like you all, who would even be willing to risk their lives? Huang clearly returned with achievements, yet you all treat him like a sinner, this cold, putting on such airs. Who gave you all this authority?”

“Youngster, you are overthinking. We do not have selfish intentions, just that things are pressing, needing to invite various experts to study this wooden chest’s secrets together.”

The Jin Family elder who spoke up first spoke again. His name was Jin Yi, a great cultivator who had already reached the Self Release Realm for some time.

At this level, he could naturally overlook the masses. At the very least, he was definitely a great expert in Imperial Pass.

“You still have the nerve to say you have no selfish motives, can’t you just be a bit more modest? Ordering people around like this, aren’t you all just jealous of Huang? You want to beat him down, it really is angering me to death. Utterly shameless!” The Lunar Jade Rabbit was even more direct. Even though she was extremely tender and pure looking, silver hair soft, large eyes bright, she wasn’t docile at all, crying out with wa wa sounds.

“Heng, I admit that Huang has established quite the merit this time. “Jin Yi released a cold snort, speaking like this. Then, he looked at the group of youngsters coldly and said, “However, the trouble he has provoked isn’t small!”

“No sense of shame, you clearly want to suppress Shi Hao, what trouble not small, why don’t you point it out, tell us a bit!” The Lunar Jade Rabbit flipped out.

No one expected this little girl’s words to be this fierce, actually clashing head-on with a great cultivator, moreover, her words not showing any restraint.

Shi Hao didn’t say anything, just watching. It was because he had confidence, wishing to see what Jin Family really wanted to do.

“Senior, speaking like this really is a bit lacking in fairness. Just what kind of trouble has Shi Hao provoked?” Qing Yi still remained calm, asking like this.

“You all know, for the sake of him, what kind of price Senior Meng Tianzheng paid, returning seriously injured. For the sake of a trifling Void Dao Realm cultivator, a supreme being almost died, is this kind of trouble not great?” Jin Yi said with a loud voice.

When they heard these words, a few people became indignant, feeling like he was purposely nitpicking.

The Heavenly Horned Ant was the first to erupt, berating, “Did your Jin Family’s supreme being come to Imperial Pass, leave the city? They never thought of providing rescue, right? Now, you all are putting on this type of righteous appearance, even having the nerve to speak nonsense about supreme beings in danger!”

“Senior Meng has a master and disciple relationships with Huang, he went out of the city to rescue Huang, successfully returning, Huang even brought back the wooden chest that made the other side go crazy! This is originally an extremely joyous situation that is worth celebrating, yet you all are looking for bones in an egg, looking for trouble when there isn’t any, what are your intentions?” Cao Yusheng also shouted.

“Is there something wrong with your eyes?” The Lunar Jade Rabbit was the one most daring to speak out, directly berating, “The other side sent out a massive army all for this chest, even many supreme beings sent out, this alone enough to prove just how major this affair was. Meanwhile, our Imperial Pass should have went to fight a decisive battle, dispatch out elites to seize back this wooden chest. In the end, Senior Meng, out of fear that our clans might suffer losses that were too severe, left the pass alone, taking the risk, fighting against supreme beings alone. This is originally a glorious story, why does it seem completely sour coming out of your mouth? Your Jin Clan’s Jin Taijun not leaving the pass is one thing, yet you still berate others, what is the meaning of this?!”

The little rabbit screamed with wa wa sounds. Forget about the youngsters revealing cold expressions, even the older generation figures of other clans frowned, their expressions not that good when looking at Jin Yi.

“Heh heh, the young will always be hot-blooded. Precisely, this is a good thing.” Wang Family’s people walked out, an elder speaking. He tried to dissolve the situation for Jin Yi, saying, “Brother Jin was just a bit anxious, his words couldn’t help but become a bit heavy. The main thing is that he was worried for Senior Meng’s safety. The loss of a supreme being is too great, they are the greatest force protecting my Imperial Pass after all.”

When Wang Family spoke like this, just how many people would believe them? It was because many people knew how much they loathed Shi Hao and Meng Tianzheng.

“Right, Brother Jin had good intentions, for the sake of a healthy environment, he was worried for Senior Meng’s condition, which is why his words were a bit heavier.” One of Jin Family’s followers parroted, speaking like this.

Meanwhile, in Jin Family’s direct line of descent, there was a middle-aged man whose eyes were like lightning, also speaking. He looked towards Shi Hao, saying, “Youngster, you really are calm. The people here really are starting to develop some misunderstandings. If you explained yourself a bit earlier, it wouldn’t have ended like this. Could it be that you feel that your contributions aren’t small, becoming overconfident, now feeling our words are beneath you?”

When he heard these words, Shi Hao no longer remained silent. He gave Jin Family a cold look, saying, “Shameless, is there a need for me to explain myself to you all? All of you really think of yourselves as infallible!”

“You really are arrogant. Do you think that just because you established great merit, you dare look down on us like this?!” The middle-aged man Jin Kun shouted.

He was also a great cultivator at the Self Release Realm.

From the side, Jin Yi’s face immediately fell, saying, “Youngster, no matter where you are, no matter what kind of great achievements you have, your seniors are still to be respected.”

It was clear that these two were both super experts, as well as the two most powerful people from Jin Family, so they somewhat targeted Shi Hao.

Shi Hao seriously suspected that the family who attacked him in Heavenly Beast Forest might be Jin Family. He had reason to suspect this.

It was because Jin Family treated him so terribly as soon as he came back, making him develop many associations.

“The worth of a person is something one understands themselves. If one doesn’t want any face themselves, would others leave them any?” Shi Hao said with an ice-cold voice.

Everyone was shocked, even Cao Yusheng and the others never expected Shi Hao to be this powerful. This was but a Self Release Realm great cultivator he was facing, yet he didn’t lower his head at all!

At the same time, a few people flew over, all of them youngsters, carrying news.

“Things don’t seem too good!” Cao Yusheng walked up. He tugged at Shi Hao’s sleeves, secretly transmitting sound, saying, “The soul lamp outside Senior Meng Tianzheng’s giant palace where he is secluded has dimmed considerably! I believe the reason why Jin Family dares act out is precisely because of this!”

Shi Hao’s mind fell. The so-called soul lamp indicated Great Elder’s current condition.

However, soon afterwards, he calmed down again. It was because before leaving, Great Elder had clearly told him that he was fine, on the contrary, trying to carry out a transformation!

Jin Family’s great cultivators had been opposed by Shi Hao. not given any face, making many people from this clan reveal cold intent and anger. At this time, Jin Zhan spoke.

“Huang, you’ve crossed the line. Do you know who you were talking to just now?” Jin Zhan’s presence was powerful, pupils shining, incredibly intimidating.

Shi Hao turned around, looking towards this genius from Jin Family who was known to have the best talents, someone no one could match. He coldly responded, looking at him and saying, “Do you know who you are talking to?!”
