Chapter 3718: Meeting Hou Qingbai again
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
Everyone had a mindset of blind obedience. When everyone saw that Ling Han was staying here and not leaving, they all thought that there was some kind of treasure here, or that he had found some clue about the inheritance of the Saint, so they all began to search outside the canyon.
But no matter how hard they tried, they did not discover anything.
In truth, there was indeed nothing here.
After a while, this team finally left reluctantly.
When night fell, Princess Bixiao returned with Sixth Baby. Not far away, the army of corpses on the ancient battlefield stood up again.
Ling Han released a battle cry, and charged in.
Princess Bixiao’s mouth was slightly agape. ‘This is what you want to verify?’
She didn’t even have the energy to complain anymore. If Ling Han walked out now, she would definitely touch his forehead. Had he developed a high fever, that even his brain was muddled?
Speechless, she was really speechless.
Ling Han didn’t use any external power, and he simply continued to battle with his fists. Peng, peng, peng! His battle prowess was astounding, and each punch sent at least a dozen skeleton soldiers flying. Bones rained down.
A long night passed, and the army of corpses collapsed at the same time.
A smile appeared on Ling Han’s face. He had guessed correctly, because he could feel that the power of heaven and earth had given him another stamp.
Could this be related to obtaining the inheritance of the Saint?
Throughout these countless years, there must have been a great many prodigies that had come here, and there was no shortage of supremely talented people among them. Perhaps, they may not be as freakish as Ling Han, but there were definitely seeds that could become Saints.
Why hadn’t any of them obtained the inheritance of the Saint?
This signified that this wasn’t simply a matter of natural talent. Rather, it signified that they did not match the criteria of choice of the Ancient Sun Saint. Thus Ling Han thought that merely having high natural talent was useless. Perhaps, it would be the same for any Great Emperor who entered when he was young. He would still have to return in disappointment.
This “stamp” was very possibly a key point.
“Can we leave now?” Princess Bixiao asked in irritation. She was about to go
crazy from being angered by Ling Han.
Ling Han shook his head, “Let’s wait a few more days.”
Still waiting?
A muscle twitched in Princess Bixiao’s cheek, “You can’t be saying that you want to continue battling there at night, right?
“You’re really smart,” Ling Han said with a smile.
Princess Bixiao instantly felt like she was about to go crazy. ‘Are you a battle maniac? Are you complaining that you didn’t fight enough yesterday?’
Even if she was driven mad, she could not possibly leave Ling Han alone. To her, the inheritance of a Saint did not seem to be all that important. As long as she’had such a person by her side, even if she was angered half to death, she would still have sweet feelings for him.
After an entire day, another seven teams walked out of the ancient battlefield
and entered into the canyon.
Seeing that Ling Han and the others were actually spacing out in the valley,
they all showed expressions of disdain.
How foolish. They had come early, yet did not hurry up and continue onwards. Instead, they were just sitting here and wasting time? They were as stupid as could be.
Ling Han only smiled slightly. There were at least several million people who had entered this space before them, even if not ten million, so why hadn’t any of them succeeded?
Thus, time was not the most important factor, and it would be useless even if
they were faster.
When night fell, Ling Han rushed into the ancient battlefield and continued the
battle.
A night passed, and Ling Han received another stamp.
“Are you still not leaving today?” Princess Bixiao asked weakly.
“Tsk, not only are you intelligent now, you even know how to read minds,”
Ling Han said with a smile.
Princess Bixiao merely rolled her eyes at him, not wanting to speak at all.
These few days were the peak period for passing through the ancient battlefield. Every day, there would be a considerable number of teams passing through, and at most, there would be seventeen in a single day.
It was probably because they had thought of a way to gather the people that had entered this place at such a late time that they had begun to barge into the ancient battlefield.
There was no shortage of teams that had invited Ling Han to join them, but
Ling Han politely refused all of them.
He had already battled here for four days. Every time he battled until the morning of the second day, an additional mark would appear on his wrist, invisible to the naked eye. Furthermore, every mark overlapped on the same spot.
There were already five marks, was that still not enough?
It would only take three days to pass through the ancient battlefield. Even if they walked slowly, four days would be enough to pass. Going by that calculation, they would just have to battle for three nights. Ling Han had already battled for five nights, but it was still the same.
Could it be that his thought process was incorrect, and this mark would be endlessly superimposed like this?
This thought only flashed through Ling Han’s mind for a moment, before he tossed it out of his mind.
Even if that was the case, he would still stick to his initial idea to the end. On the path of cultivation, there would be times when he would not turn back even if he had hit a wall.
From the fifth day onwards, there were fewer and fewer teams passing through the ancient battlefield, dropping to two to three in a day.
On the eighth day, Ling Han encountered a team.
This wasn’t strange. What was strange was the fact that Hou Qingbai was in the team.
Now that enemies had met, both sides were naturally furious.
When Hou Qingbai saw Ling Han, he immediately sneered, and said, “Whoever kills this person for me, I’ll give him 5000 Dao Stones!
All of a sudden, the bounty had increased fivefold. That was because he wanted to personally see Ling Han die in front of him.
However, no one accepted this mission.
The members of their team were all heirs of great sects and noble clans. Though 5000 Dao Stones was tempting to them, they were also people who cared about their pride. No one could afford to lose face like this when they had to obey the commands of others.
When Hou Qingbai saw this, he gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll throw in another Cloudy Smoke Celestial Stone!”
This time, everyone looked interested.
The Cloudy Smoke Celestial Stone was a Two Star material, and not only that, it was also a Spiritual Power Spirit Tool.
Because there were too few ingredients for Spiritual Power, its value was much higher than ingredients of the same level. Furthermore, there was practically no lack of buyers but no one willing to sell.
Hou Qingbai was willing to take out the Cloudy Smoke Celestial Stone; it seemed like he really hated Ling Han to the core.
Under heavy rewards, there would definitely be brave men. The temptation of a Spiritual Power Spirit Tool was really too great.
“I’ll go!”
“1’11 go!”
“Let me doit!”
Immediately, five people scrambled out, then attacked Ling Han together.
So what if he was a Formation Master? He was only a native from a backward place, so they would kill him!
Ling Han moved, only dodging and not attacking.
His reaction was in line with everyone’s understanding oh, with five prodigies working together, how could it be that Ling Han still had the strength to counter? Of course, he could only dodge.
“Since we’ve made our move, let’s hurry up and get rid of him,” a man in white said coldly.
“All right!”
There were a total of 12 people in this team, and immediately, another three charged towards Ling Han, while the other four charged towards Princess Bixiao and Sixth Baby.
“Ling Han, if you continue to flee, these two beauties, one big and one small, will suffer,” the white-robed man said. He held a sword in his hand, his expression filled with killing intent.
“Brother Hai, I took a fancy to this beauty,” Hou Qingbai hurriedly said. He only wanted Ling Han to die, but he hadn’t played with Princess Bixiao yet. Even if he wanted to kill her, it would have to wait until he was bored of playing with her.
“Shut up! Wasting everyone’s precious time for the sake of you, yet your mind is filled with women? Are you a stud pig?!” the white-robed man chided. If it weren’t for the fact that Hou Qingbai had given him a large number of Dao Stones to join this team, he would have definitely thrown him out at this moment.
