“Forget it.” Shi Hao whispered, shaking his head.

His current identity was really too sensitive, and once exposed, he would have no place to hide in the world.

Suddenly, Shi Hao noticed that the people around the young girl were no ordinary protectors.

Had it not been for his Dual Pupils, he would never have detected those seemingly unrelated individuals.

With this in mind, he became even more cautious.

“Some people’s cultivation levels are truly high.” Shi Hao whispered.

Even with his Dual Pupils, he could not discern the depths, only feeling that those few individuals were as profound as the starry sky.

“Looking for death, can’t you watch where you’re going?” someone scolded.

It was an elephant-headed person with a tall human-like body, a long golden nose, and two snow-white tusks sharp as blades.

“Scram!” Shi Hao glared.

This City of Sin was indeed not peaceful, clearly, this fellow deliberately bumped into him, trying to swindle.

“You want to leave after bumping into me?

Without handing over twenty Spiritual Medicines or a treasure, don’t think about it.” The elephant-headed person said, his golden nose coiling towards Shi Hao’s arm.

This was an offspring of the Yellow Gold Giant Elephant and the human race, inheriting the strengths of both races, with astonishing Divine Power, far surpassing ordinary breeds.

But as soon as the golden trunk wrapped around Shi Hao, he grabbed it and swung it around, smashing it to the ground with a thunderous noise.

The crowd gasped.

As a Venerable One, this member of the human race had stunning arm strength, flipping over the Golden Elephant-headed man with a single arm, truly extraordinary!

Shi Hao was quick and nimble, swiftly plundering the Venerable One clean because this was all according to the rules of the Scarlet Plains where many evildoers resided, and was commonplace.

Ahead, the young girl looked back, surprised, and then continued on her way.

Shi Hao wandered on, intentionally and unintentionally getting closer to the young girl ahead, wanting to understand the situation—what was actually going on and why she was here.

The girl had a good figure and a fair appearance, but compared to her true beauty, it was a far cry.

Thinking back to the scenes of the past, Shi Hao’s thoughts seemed to return to the Lower Realm, to the years gone by.

He walked at an unhurried pace and as he brushed past her, Shi Hao felt several auras unintentionally sweep over him, at least of the True God level!

Ordinary people might not notice, but Shi Hao’s Divine Sense was sharp.

He had cultivated several matchless precious techniques and was already capable of Spirit Communication in this regard.

“Yun Xi.” Shi Hao silently recited the name in his heart.

In the past, he and the purple-dressed young girl had a fierce battle in the Hundred Shattered Mountains, rolling on the ground, wrestling, and in the end, even biting the other’s translucent ear, their memories super “deep”.

For a long time, Yun Xi almost hated him to death.

She was ethereal and beautiful, the Goddess in the hearts of the young generation from various Primordial Divine Mountains.

Everyone respected her, except for a bratty kid who would snarl and bare fangs at her whenever he saw her, biting her more than once.

“Now her identity is extraordinary.” Shi Hao thought to himself.

Such traveling with protection by Divine Spirits, and all of them strong individuals, made people feel that times have changed too fast.

Let alone someone from his past in the Lower Realm, even an enemy would stir waves in his heart, as it was indeed a different world now, and meeting a creature from the Lower Realm was too difficult.

Shi Hao and Yun Xi had a very poor relationship in earlier years, antagonistic towards each other, but later on, their relationship changed and gradually improved.

Before Yun Xi was about to leave the Lower Realm, she had traveled with Shi Hao, even being brought to Stone Village, which changed their adversarial standpoint, making the villagers once mistake her as Shi Hao’s wife-to-be.

Especially, when Shi Hao and Second Baldy went to Heavenly God Mountain to assist in repairing the Primordial Transmission Array that could leave the Lower Realm, there was an incident.

Second Baldy took the initiative, wanting Shi Hao to have a marital alliance with the Celestials Clan, exchanging tokens, only to unexpectedly find that when Shi Hao bit Yun Xi’s white earlobe years ago, he had already taken that meaningful “pendant”.

Although the situation was somewhat awkward at the time, the Celestials Clan didn’t have the nerve to demand the “pendant” back.

“Could she, in a sense, be considered my wife?” Shi Hao thought to himself with a weird chuckle, finding the reunion peculiar.

Yet, they couldn’t meet, only exchanging glances in silence; his identity was too sensitive.

He didn’t know if the so-called rapport from the Lower Realm was still dependable.

In the complicated higher realms, he dared not take risks.

If the Celestials Clan turned their backs on him without sympathy, he would face great peril.

“How is Second Baldy doing now?” Shi Hao really wanted to know the current status of Kong Qiuji, who followed the Celestials Clan into the higher realms years ago.

He didn’t look back, simply walking away, passing by the purple-dressed young girl Yun Xi unrecognised.

“Gentlemen, there may be big trouble brewing on the Scarlet Plains soon.

My White Wolf Mercenary Corps is recruiting tough hands.

Who wants to join, the pay is generous.”
In this ancient city, numerous people were recruiting mercenaries.

Clearly, the atmosphere over the entire Scarlet Plains was tense, with all the major mercenary groups in motion, hoping to strengthen their own forces.

Shi Hao only rested in the city for one night, and the next day he intended to continue on his way.

Although he knew that an old acquaintance was here, he did not want to meet and could only miss the opportunity.

At the city gates, there were some trade caravans, Loose Cultivators, and quite a few mercenary groups, all about to set off, crossing the Scarlet Plains.

“Young man, do you want mercenary protection?

Hire us, you need only a few Spiritual Medicines.” Someone approached him at the city gate, cozying up to him; this was an old mercenary.

“No need.” Shi Hao shook his head.

“I tell you, young man, you’re brave and skilled.

Everyone says that the sky is about to fall, yet you dare to travel alone?” The old mercenary showed a look of surprise.

“What does ‘the sky is about to fall’ mean?” Shi Hao asked.

“A great battle is coming to the Scarlet Plains, a Celestial God has emerged, and it will be world-shaking.” The old mercenary spoke in hushed and mysterious tones, yet he didn’t understand the specific details.

“`
Shi Hao stood outside the city gates, shocked to find that, just as the old mercenary had said, something felt off.

The mercenary groups were getting plenty of business, and it was rare to see anyone traveling alone.

Moreover, many mercenary groups had banded together to escort a group of people and huddle for warmth.

Not wanting to be a maverick, Shi Hao eventually joined the old mercenary’s squad.

It was a small group called Hurricane with only a dozen members, led by a Divine Fire Realm master.

Shi Hao clicked his tongue in amazement.

The creatures that thrived on the Scarlet Plains were truly extraordinary; even small mercenary groups had Divine Spirits to lead them.

Of course, they did not just take on Shi Hao’s task—there were hundreds of people under their protection.

This, already, was merely a small mercenary group, enough to show a glimpse of the bigger picture.

As expected, several large mercenary groups started their journey, forming a grand and lengthy procession.

Shi Hao’s small group—the Hurricane—trailed behind the large contingents, benefiting from the presence of the larger groups, providing a reassuring atmosphere.

To his surprise, Shi Hao found that Yun Xi was also among those protected by the Hurricane Mercenary Group.

“Why would she choose such a weak team?” Shi Hao wondered, observing with his Dual Pupils.

He was moved to discover that mysterious powerhouses guarding Yun Xi were nearby, some even hidden amongst the larger mercenary groups ahead.

“This is fishy.” His heart skipped a beat; the other party seemed to be deliberately splitting the team, hiding their tracks—were they trying to evade something?

Ɲονǥᴑ.сο

After setting off, Shi Hao was surprised to find that one after another, mercenary groups left the city, and together with those they were protecting, there were tens of thousands of people.

“Damn it, I have urgent matters in Heavenly Province, but now the Scarlet Plains are sealed off.

Teleporters cannot be used, and even flight is severely affected,” complained someone along the way.

“Better save your breath.

Big things are about to happen; it’s good enough if you don’t lose your life here.

We really shouldn’t have traveled during this period,” someone else regretted.

Along the way, there were creatures from various races—members of the Feather Tribe, Flood Dragons, silver spirit vines, massive mammoths, and a large number of the human race.

“What exactly is going on with the rumored upheaval?”
“Who knows, just be careful on the road.

It’s said that this battlefield is about to be stained with blood—there’s a Celestial God descending.”
On the road, people discussed these matters with a degree of tension, but there was no outright panic—it all seemed like unreliable rumors.

Suddenly, a Silver War Spear appeared in the sky, massively large like a mountain range, piercing the heavens and earth, awe-inspiring and carrying an overwhelming force that suppressed everything below.

This aura was terrifying, making every inch of the void tremble, and all the creatures in the world quivered; tens of thousands of people nearly collapsed to the ground.

Boom!

The Silver War Spear, thousands of feet tall, slammed into the earth, releasing an incomparably majestic force, its silver light shining up to the nine heavens.

“Ah…”
People immediately screamed, the air filled with cries of horror.

The earth shattered like it was merely paper, unable to withstand a single blow.

A large mercenary group, protecting more than two thousand people, was annihilated in an instant.

The spear’s blade pierced the ground, and the interwoven silver light obliterated everyone there.

It was a horrifying scene—blood splattered, creatures of all races burst one after another, and in the blink of an eye, more than two thousand beings turned into a bloody mess.

From a distance, Shi Hao saw it all clearly, shocked to his core, taking in a cold breath.

How powerful was this person, who without making an appearance, could annihilate thousands of strong beings with a single weapon?

That Silver War Spear towered into the sky, wrapped in clouds, exuding such a frightening aura that most creatures trembled in suppression.

“Celestial God!”
“The Celestial God has appeared!”
Someone cried out in terror, utterly disregarding life.

“Who are you, and why do you kill without cause, blocking our way?” someone spoke up.

There were extremely frightening experts present, after all—tens of thousands of people.

“The upheaval begins; those hiding in the dark, come forth.

I have come for you,” a cold voice rang out.

Soundlessly, a middle-aged man dressed in a silver battle robe appeared, standing atop the giant spear, looking down coldly and indifferently at those below.

“We have nothing to do with this; we are not the ones you seek,” spoke some leaders of the mercenary groups.

“Pfft!”
The Celestial God in the silver battle gear, awe-inspiring and full of murderous intent, pointed a finger, and with a ‘pfft’ sound, a powerful mercenary group leader exploded and met an untimely death.

So domineering, not allowing for any rebuttal.

“I will find them myself; no need for your explanations,” he said coldly.

Shi Hao’s heart tightened as he noticed Yun Xi unconsciously clenching her fists, her eyes showing a hint of nervousness, which she quickly relaxed, but there was definitely an issue.

He felt that he had become entangled in a major trouble—the so-called upheaval was most likely related to her and her companions!

And at this moment, he was not far from Yun Xi, almost certain to be implicated.
