Chapter 1549 - The Green Hills Under the Heavens are All the Same
The best situation, was for him to create a restricted region of his own, protect those he ought to protect.
With Shi Hao’s lonesome expression and calm words, everyone felt a wave of sadness. A young man with tremendous contributions was forced to this step.
A few great cultivators couldn’t help but want to stand out, stop all of this.
However, Jin Taijun looked over coldly. The aura of a supreme being was unmatched, as if a giant dragon looked down on ants, the difference too great!
“Huang, what is the intention of this? Please give us an explanation!” Not far out, a follower of Jin Family asked like this.
This was a great leader, someone who had entered the Self Release Realm for many years, extremely powerful. Currently he sat on a giant Nine-Headed Snake’s body, looking in this direction.
In reality, this was what many from Jin Family wanted to hear, because they felt like Huang’s words were a bit ear-piercing, making them feel extremely uncomfortable.
“What is your intention? Form a restricted area of your own? Even if you had the ability to come back, you wouldn’t join the future battle, is that it?” Someone asked loudly.
“Are you harboring negative feelings, feeling like you were wronged, hating Imperial Pass?” Someone spoke even more directly.
Those under Jin, as well as Wang’s troops’ expressions were all unkind, at the same time, they felt incomparable restraining fear. If that day truly came, would Huang brandish a butcher’s knife in their direction?
Many people were shivering inwardly, because Huang’s talent was something everyone could see with their own eyes. He was so powerful now, if he was given time to grow up, it really was hard to say how far he would grow.
“Do you all have the right to berate Shi Hao like this?” Qing YI spoke up. The other youngsters, like the Heavenly Horned Ant, were all extremely angry, all of them lashing out.
“Hah!” Shi Hao released a light laugh, his eyes carrying disdain, even more so a type of helplessness. “If I had selfish intentions, I wouldn’t have fought a bloody battle against the other side, risked my life fighting outside in Desolate Pass, even more so wouldn’t agree to throw my life away here, head towards the other side.”
“Then… what is your intention?” Du Family’s people asked.
“You clearly spoke to yourself like that just now.” Pixiu Clan also had experts who spoke out.
“When I enter the other side, if I am lucky enough to not die, do you think they would feel at ease? There will definitely be blood oaths and other methods involving great karma. I will definitely not be able to assist you all in the future.” Shi Hao said, extremely bleak, because he wasn’t sighing for that type of conclusion, but rather becoming more and more cold from being questioned.
Everyone became stupefied, not knowing what was good to say. At the same time, they felt extremely embarrassed. This undoubtedly made them look like petty people being jealous of those with noble character.
“Don’t leave the pass!” At this time, the Heavenly Horned Ant, Cao Yusheng, Chang Gongyan and the others surrounded him, stopping Shi Hao, not letting him go.
It was because once he left, it was impossible to predict what will happen, impossible to foresee.
Even though they were angry just now, feeling like Shi Hao might as well directly leave, in the end, no one wished for Shi Hao to go far away. If there was a choice, who would be willing to leave their own people?
At the same time, they even more so worried for Shi Hao’s safety. Even though the status of the supreme being in that black war chariot was high, how could they completely trust his words?
Shi Hao killed too many enemies in Desolate Border, killing thousands alone, meanwhile, the number of great cultivators exceeded a hundred. Just how shocking of battle accomplishments were these?
It could be said that once he went to that side, there would be enemies everywhere, the number of creatures and clans who bore grudges against him scalp-numbingly great. In this type of vile environment, would he be able to survive?
Perhaps he might be mercilessly killed by some great figure as soon as he heads over.
“You all have to take care of yourselves!” Shi Hao patted Chang Gongyan, Lunar Jade Rabbit, and others’ shoulders. He only had these words for them, unable to say anything else.
Once he left, it would be for many years, his future unknown, perhaps this might even be a parting by death, never to see each other again. Even if they could meet again, the blue sea might have already become mulberry fields.
No one was willing to see this scene, even Shi Yi who originally opposed him walked forward, looking at Shi Hao and saying, “Doing things like this, is it worth it?”
Shi Hao didn’t reply to this question, instead saying to him. “With both of us being from Stone Clan, you will definitely become very strong, so please properly take care of the so-called Sinner’s Blood Descendants.”
“What Sinner’s Blood Descendants? I understand, this is threatening and forcing!” Cao Yusheng released a low roar.
Qing Yi walked up. She looked into Shi Hao’s eyes, in the end, gently embraced him, doing her best to calm down. In the end, her voice was still shaking. “Take… care of yourself!”
“Senior, can this matter not be changed?” There was a great cultivator who spoke, seated on a Heaven Devouring Beast, eyes glaring angrily like that of a tiger’s. Even the powerful leaders felt disgusted with this, wishing to stop this.
“Dao friend Jin, if things continue like this, it will not end well.” An unmatched being also spoke, looking towards Jin Taijun.
“I only have one question. If we can exchange for five hundred years of peace, and we can obtain powerful reinforcements, changing the fate of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, would you all still be unwilling?” This was Jin Taijun’s reply.
“You are sure that there is no mistake?” Shi Hao asked.
“I am sure!” Jin Taijun replied. Normally, with her status, she wouldn’t pay any attention to the words of the younger generation. However, it was different today.
“Fine, I am going to the other side!” Shi Hao nodded, extremely straightforward.
“I cannot take this anymore, I am leaving Imperial Pass and inviting someone over!” Cao Yusheng screamed out, the first to jump off the city wall, unable to endure this result.
“We agree to hand over Huang!” Right at this time, Jin Taijun transmitted sound out from the city, communicating with the one in the black war chariot.
Things were already like this, it could be considered to be decided.
“Haha… good!” A reply sounded from below.
On the city wall, many people’s expressions were ugly, the pro-war faction clenching their fists one after another, feeling greatly humiliated. It would be difficult for them to forget about today’s matter their entire lives.
As for Jin Family and their followers, as well as those who wished to stop the great battle, exchange for peace, they all revealed looks of joy, feeling endlessly inspired.
“We aren’t cold-blooded people either. Give Huang some time, let him settle some of his own problems before he leaves.” A voice sounded from below the city.
“Do you need this time?” The people by Jin Taijun’s side asked, looking towards Shi Hao.
“I do!” Shi Hao coldly replied.
“Little friend, what cherished desires do you have? We will do our best to satisfy them.” An unmatched being walked up. He was originally dignified, but right now, he was extremely ashamed.
However, there was nothing he could do. If they fought a bloody battle to the end, then Imperial Pass might be destroyed. Meanwhile, now, there was hope, able to ensure the safety of all clans.
“In the future, I will wipe away this humiliation through blood, even if I have to die while fighting outside Desolate Border.” Another unmatched being spoke. He also asked Shi Hao if he had anything he wanted.
“I want to absolve Stone Clan of their sin in Imperial Pass.” Shi Hao said.
“Fine, I promise you. From today on, the sin left behind by Stone Clan’s ancestors are gone!” An unmatched being promised.
“This… goes against the past decree.” Someone from Du Family said quietly.
“Hold your tongue!” An unmatched being shouted, coldly looking at him, making the great leader of Du Family almost fall weak onto the ground.
“I can promise that Stone Clan’s sins will be removed.” The master of the Five Spirits War Chariot, as well as Qi Hong’s master said.
Jin Taijun didn’t oppose this. When she saw that the others were like this, she also nodded.
“There is no need, my accomplishments are already enough. Through my battles this time outside Desolate Border, I believe it is already enough to absolve them of their crimes.” Shi Hao said.
He wanted to go and tally up his accomplishments, use them to remove Stone Clan’s sins.
These words left everyone moved, their expressions all changing, feeling ashamed, and also shocked, their emotions complex.
Even now, Huang still rejected their help, using his own merit to remove Stone Clan’s past blood and sins.
This matter was quickly arranged. Shi Hao produced the merit tile once more. The pure white bone tile was extremely brilliant. Back then, when it was examined, it released heaven reaching radiance, auspicious brilliance rising streak after streak, representing Huang’s accomplishments!
Even if they already made mental preparations, everyone was still shocked. This was just a youngster, just how many foreign enemies did he kill to have such great achievements?
The light rays were too many, auspicious light too rich, creating a great expanse. A group of elders began to count once more, every one of them stirred up, their emotions complex.
This type of heaven warping genius, someone who established such great merit, was being forced to his death, sent to the other side. Quite a few people felt pity and regret.
There were even some people who were resentful, feeling like Huang’s departure was a type of great loss for Imperial Pass!
Now, Stone Clan only had a thousand or so people, moreover, their cultivations all not high. Shi Hao’s contributions this time were enough to exchange for their freedom, they no longer had great sins weighing down on them.
“Gift the rest of these contributions to other sinner’s blood families similar to Stone Clan.” This was what Shi Hao wished for. At the same time, he looked towards the unmatched beings, saying, “Please do your best to reduce their so-called sins.”
In the end, he released a light sigh, asking them like this.
“That is fine. Do you have any other wishes?”
“I wish for my parents, loved ones, friends, and others to all live well.” Shi Hao turned around, walking towards the city gates alone. There was an altar that could send him out of the city there.
His figure was extremely lonesome, his rear figure bleak, giving off an extremely cold and dismal feeling, as well as a feeling of great sadness.
“Since that’s the case, then just go.” Jin Taijun said.
“Little friend, you… do you have any other desires?” An unmatched figure walked up, carrying a heart of guilt, still wishing to do some more for him.
“I am someone of this side. I hope that after I die, my bones can return, be buried in this world.” Shi Hao said.
These words made a few emotional youngsters feel a great sadness. It was because this time, everything pointed towards disaster for Huang, there were just too many people in the other side who hated him.
Moreover, the black-colored war chariot’s supreme being didn’t promise that he would definitely live.
“If something happens to me, I hope someone can take my corpse, bring it back to the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, bury it in this place.” Shi Hao said.
Right now, regardless of whether it was Chang Gongyan, Heavenly Horned Ant, Lunar Jade Rabbit, or the others who were close to Shi Hao, Great Xu Tuo, Lan Xian, Wei Family’s Four Phoenixes, Tuogu Yulong, and the others, they all released a light sigh, feeling sorrow.
There were some, like Qing Yi and others, who felt extremely bad.
Even some great cultivators, as well as some leaders, became silent, opening their mouths, feeling dejected. They felt a type powerlessness towards this scene, their hearts moved.
This type of youngster was going to meet his death just like this. It was too much of a pity, too regretful.
“Who is willing to follow Huang? I believe with the other side’s warlike and straightforward disposition, they won’t trouble the followers. If something happens to Huang… bring him back!”
An unmatched being said. The so-called something happening, was naturally Shi Hao dying in the other side.
Who was willing to take back Shi Hao’s corpse, bring him back?
After a short moment of silence, there were actually many people who shouted out, actually wishing to go with him.
Shi Hao was a bit surprised, feeling touched. He turned around, thought for a bit, and then a mysterious faint smile appeared at the corners of lips, actually pointing to someone who never spoke up.
“Are you willing to come with me?” The one he pointed at was Jin Zhan. In that instant, all of Jin Family’s faces changed.
A few people immediately wanted to berate out, because Jin Zhan was this clan’s most outstanding genius in recent years. They naturally weren’t willing to let him go.
However, when the words reached their mouths, they then swallowed them back down, because it really was hard for them to say anything. Previously Jin Taijun had already spoken that if needed, she could send Jin Family’s own to the foreign side to be killed.
Jin Zhan gave Jin Taijun a look. She didn’t say anything.
“Huang, don’t you think this is too much? If the foreign side is cold-blooded, killing Jin Zhan too, wouldn’t we be throwing away a heaven warping genius for nothing? This is a loss of Imperial Pass’ forces!” Someone from Jin Family finally couldn’t hold themselves back, speaking up like this.
“Haha…” Shi Hao laughed loudly. He looked towards Jin Family’s people, and then at JIn Taijun and Jin Zhan, in the end saying, “Forget it, I was just randomly mentioning it, how could I have the heart to trouble Jin Family who is known to have noble character and unquestionable integrity? I am going, one person heading out is enough!”
He laughed loudly, turning around to go, extremely free and at ease, taking steps out.
“Little friend, we can satisfy your cherished desires, have someone accompany you, and then in the future… bring you back!” An unmatched being said.
“There is no need. When a man heads out, where can’t he make his home? Wherever he dies, wherever he is buried, the green hills are all the same under the heavens!” Shi Hao said with a loud voice, not even turning around.
At this moment, an emotion that was difficult to describe began to spread between everyone. Many people were moved, unable to say what kind of emotion they were feeling.
This world immediately became quiet, no one able to say anything.
Many people felt disappointed and frustrated, at a loss, as well as an extremely bitter and sad feeling. They felt regret for Shi Hao, feeling sadness for him.
As for the great cultivators, even though they were quiet, they clearly could not calm down inside, all of them clenching their fists tightly.
Only Jin Family’s faces were ashen. The words Shi Hao spoke just now were too ear-piercing for them.
Shi Hao stepped on that altar. He was alone, extremely lonesome, but he no longer turned around, not speaking anymore. His back faced everyone, preparing to leave the pass!
Walking straight into roaring winds and frigid rain like this, will he be able to return?
“Shi Hao, what will happen to you in the future? Will you appear again? If you are still alive, would you be restricted by the other side through a blood oath, no longer recognize us?” Qing Yi’s voice was shaking a bit, asking like this.
As for the little rabbit, Heavenly Horned Ant, and the others, they were all already screaming, wishing to leave the pass.
“If I live, I believe in the end, no one can restrict me. There will be a day when no karma can bind me, but I fear that at that time, my heart would have already turned cold, no longer burning like now.”
This was Shi Hao’s reply. He no longer turned around, his head not looking back.
The altar began to shine. His figure became indistinct.
