The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

Xuan Sect Leader and the others could kill off all these Gu Insects, but it would not be so easy.

At this moment, Zuo Yanming shouted loudly, "Xu Hao, do you think it ends so easily? Those toxins cannot be burned away by your flames. When they spread to those below grandmaster level, it will be your death sentence!"

"Ha, mere toxins," Xu Hao smirked.

He reached out and grabbed, and an invisible hand gathered all the surrounding toxins together, then devoured them with the Immortal Bone.

These toxins, stored within the Immortal Bone, might serve a crucial purpose at certain times.

"Devouring Undying Bone! I must kill you and seize the Immortal Bone!"

Zuo Yanming shouted hoarsely, his eyes nearly popping out upon seeing the Immortal Bone, as it was extremely beneficial to those who cultivated Gu. They could store a large amount of toxins within it and nourish their Gu Insects at any moment.

Thus, he was extremely envious of Xu Hao's Immortal Bone.

Xu Hao smiled lightly and said, "You think too much if you want to take what's mine. Let's go."

At this moment, Xu Hao seemed more fit to lead than the Xuan Sect Leader. Many Xuanmen disciples followed him obediently, although the Fifth Elder was full of resentment, it was not worth mentioning at such a moment.

In the mountain forests surrounding the Gushen Sect, there were no roads, but for these people, it was no difficult task.

However, they had to be on constant alert for traps that could appear anywhere.

Although Xu Hao walked cautiously, he still fell into several traps, causing all disciples below the grandmaster level to be injured, and the eight Grandmaster Level Experts to expend a lot of their Qi Force.

The people of Gushen Sect were not good at direct combat, but setting traps was their specialty.

After painstakingly dismantling yet another trap, the group was just one kilometer away from Zhou Shuran and the others, and they could vaguely see them.

The Fifth Elder finally couldn't hold back and said, "Sect Leader, we've depleted at least a third of our Qi Forces, and if we keep going, I'm afraid by the time we join up with the Great Elder and the others, our Qi will be nearly gone. After all, within this kilometer, there's bound to be more dangers. So, I think we should rest first."

The Xuan Sect Leader gazed at Xu Hao and asked, "Young Master Xu, what do you think?"

Xu Hao replied coolly, "My Qi Force is abundant and I'm not afraid of consuming it. If anyone wants to play it safe, they can rest here, no one's stopping you. But I won't stand by and watch those trapped get killed. When we have rescued them and are retreating, I can stay behind to cover the retreat, but at that time, I will need your sect's Emperor Qin to assist."

Xu Hao showed no emotion, but he felt somewhat disdainful towards this Fifth Elder.

Their mission was a rescue, not a frontal fight, so speed was paramount. As long as they rescued Zhou Shuran and the others in time and retreated quickly, using Emperor Qin to cover, it would be foolproof.

The Fifth Elder, hearing Xu Hao's words, immediately retorted angrily, "I wondered why you were so eager for the rescue, it turns out you're coveting our Sect's Treasure, the Emperor Qin!"

Xu Hao looked at the Fifth Elder like he was an idiot and spoke lightly, "If it weren't for the Huadu Zhou Family working under me and Zhou Shuran being an old acquaintance, do you think I would help you?"

The Fifth Elder snorted coldly, "Don't you understand that if the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact? The Gushen Sect can't infiltrate Tiannan because of our Xuanmen's guard. If our Xuanmen falls, Tiannan would immediately become Gushen Sect's possession, and you people would be the first they kill!"

Xu Hao laughed and said, "You think I'm afraid of them? The Gushen Sect boasts about killing me and taking my treasures, yet do you think they dare? Don't be silly! At most, they'd only dare to detain me, but they wouldn't kill me, otherwise, their Sect Entrance would surely be breached!"

Hearing Xu Hao's words, Xuanmen disciples were skeptical.

Many people had doubts, but some felt Xu Hao was speaking the truth, including the Xuan Sect Leader.

She always believed Xu Hao must be from a massive power, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to possess so much confidential information.

"Your Emperor Qin is indeed valuable, but I wouldn't sacrifice my lifelong reputation for a mere treasure. I'll go save them now. Those willing can follow me, or else stay here and recuperate."

Having said this, Xu Hao headed alone to where Zhou Shuran and the others were, knowing they could hardly hold on any longer.
