He shook his head slightly and turned to rush toward the Imperial Palace in the Imperial City. Was it time to deal with that guy, the true mastermind?
By the time Li Hao hurried back to the Imperial Palace, he discovered that the presence was indeed still there, lurking in the darkness. If not for his extremely nuanced sensitivity to the natural world, he wouldn’t have been able to detect this presence at all.
But now, it was as if the presence were standing on top of him.
“Haotian General…”
On the plaza, Emperor Yu and the others, upon seeing Li Hao returning, became somewhat agitated.
The transition of the scene earlier had been too rapid, unbelievably fast, starting from Li Hao’s slaying of the stunning woman, followed by a series of counter-kills, and eventually chasing the young man in yellow and white clothing out of the Imperial Palace, forcing him to flee in disarray.
Singlehandedly, he had defeated six Dao Law Realm foes and had slain them.
It was truly inconceivable!
What was most frightening was that Li Hao seemed to remain in the Grand Tao of Peace Realm, and it was unknown if he had made a breakthrough during the battle, but they did not sense the aura of the Tao Comprehension Realm from him.
It was terrifying, simply beyond comprehension and imagination!
Li Muxiu clenched his fists in excitement, rushing forward and saying, “Hao Er, are you alright?”
“Old Master, don’t come any closer.”
But Li Hao said in a low voice.
Li Muxiu was taken aback, his expression changing slightly, thinking that Li Hao was concerned about the Li Family’s matters. However, he quickly noticed a solemn intensity in Li Hao’s eyes, gazing toward a certain place.
His expression changed subtly, and he likewise stared intently in the same direction.
At the same time, Holy Son Xu Yuan, who had been using Divine Skills to conceal himself in the hidden reaches of space, saw his expression change drastically.
How could this be?
A trace of shock flashed in his eyes. Was his magical concealment still detectable? Discover exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
He had followed the young man in yellow and white clothing and the other six here, having the Demon Sheep Venerable elder clear the path before them, while he followed in hiding. Such a battle strategy, especially to pilfer the Incense Fire, naturally required him to be present.
But he had previously observed those two from the Demon Race. Worried that they too might come here, he let the youth in yellow and white and the others confront them and probe their strengths since it was he who had invited them, and they had agreed to it.
However, instead of the Demon Race showing up, it was Li Hao who appeared.
Entering the Imperial Palace alone, he altered the tide of battle. From Li Hao’s arrival to this moment, the situation rapidly collapsed, leaving him somewhat dumbfounded.
He dared not move rashly. His Divine Skills currently cloaked a small region of space. If he left, his presence would surely be exposed, and should Li Hao then decide to hunt him down, it would be troublesome.
Although he was very confident that he could overcome any one of the previous six individually, he couldn’t handle all six of them together.
Moreover, he realized Li Hao seemed capable of sensing traces of the Returning Ruins Extreme Realm. Although unsure of how Li Hao managed to detect such traces, the feat was utterly unbelievable.
If he were to battle Li Hao, his opponent could use the Returning Ruin Instantaneous Movement to dodge him, but he would be tracked down by Li Hao and have no chance of victory.
He had initially planned to wait here quietly for Li Hao’s return and then for Li Hao to depart again. Even if it took ten days or half a month, Li Hao would have to leave eventually, and he could afford to wait.
But unexpectedly, as soon as Li Hao returned, he had already sensed his presence.
Or perhaps, Li Hao had detected him long ago and had deliberately left him till the end.
Whoosh!
Holy Son Xu Yuan suddenly made his move, utilizing the Returning Ruin Instantaneous Movement to relocate his attack.
Li Hao caught onto the trace and his expression instantly changed—the attack was heading towards Emperor Yu.
Swiftly, he teleported to intercept it and immediately saw Holy Son Xu Yuan rapidly teleporting away into the distance.
Li Hao hadn’t expected the Returning Ruin Instantaneous Movement to directly transfer attacks, allowing his own blows to be instantly delivered at any time.
It was somewhat terrifying!
However, fortunately, he possessed the Ultimate Immortal Transformation; otherwise, this youth’s difficulty level would have far surpassed that of the six men just now.
