Chapter 1149: Scared Off Instantly!
Xu Hao slightly shook his head and said, "Never heard of it, what kind of sect is this?"
The man seemed a bit angry but also mocked, "I thought that Young Xu, being so young yet possessing such strength, would naturally have unparalleled insight. But I didn't expect you didn't even know about our Xuanwu Sect and the other Four Divine Beasts Sects, which is quite regrettable."
"Are the Four Divine Beasts Sects really formidable? Why should I know about them?" Xu Hao said indifferently.
Liu Ruyan also increasingly felt that these two people indeed had an inexplicable sense of superiority.
"The Four Divine Beasts Sect is an ancient sect that has existed from time immemorial. No one knows when exactly they began, but no one questions their strength. Today's Four Divine Beasts Sect is just a small branch passed down from those days.
The true Four Divine Beasts Sects have long disappeared, but even so, the strength of our Four Divine Beasts Sect shouldn't be underestimated. This Liuguang Villa is merely a place where our Villa Master occasionally comes to rest," the man explained.
"Interesting, every sect tends to put gold on their own faces, and it seems you're no different with your Four Divine Beasts Sect. From the way you two treat me, you always seem to look down on me with an air of superiority, as if I must follow your orders, and if not, it's considered disobedience. Isn't that right?" Xu Hao said with a cold smile.
Their attitude made him extremely displeased. This was not an attitude for conversation but rather one of issuing orders from superior to subordinate.
How could Xu Hao agree to their demands?
The man's face turned a bit unsightly, and he said coldly, "Young Master Xu, why speak so unpleasantly? We're just here to make a deal."
"Then where's your sincerity?" Xu Hao said with a cold smile.
"We've already shown enough sincerity. You can go out and ask; with a Xuanwu Undying Bone that isn't much to most, you can exchange it for our sect leader's three full-force interventions. Anyone would know what to choose!" the man said confidently.
"Heh, that's just what you think. With me, his three intervention opportunities aren't worth mentioning," Xu Hao said coldly.
The man said, "Young Master Xu, do you think that with your growing strength, the Xuanwu Undying Bone in your hands can exert even greater power?"
"So what if it is?" Xu Hao said indifferently.
Honestly speaking, the full efforts of a master at the Great Perfection of Peak Late Stage Grandmaster level are indeed precious, but Xu Hao values his strength more.
He's certain that in the future, he can surpass one summit after another, standing at the pinnacle of the world's mighty. By then, even a slight disparity in strength could have a significant impact.
Therefore, he absolutely won't exchange this Xuanwu Undying Bone.
"That's simply impossible!"
The man said coldly, "Everyone knows that half-step Martial Honor is the current limit for powerhouses; no one can cross the mountain peak of Martial Honor. And even if you're at a half-step Martial Honor level, the Xuanwu Undying Bone can't exert much power, far from two Great Perfection Peak Late Stage Grandmaster level masters joining forces.
Besides, Young Master Xu, you have to understand that you're making enemies everywhere now. When those enemies suppress you, you can't possibly withstand them. With our Xuanwu Sect's intervention, we can shield you from any sect power's attack..."
Xu Hao interrupted him, calmly saying, "What if the Mengzi Family attacks me?"
"You... you actually provoked the Mengzi Family! Old Six, let's go! Xu Hao is crazy, daring to provoke the Mengzi Family. This is seeking death! If the Mengzi Family strikes, they will have rightful reasons. If they act, it will be a thunderous strike and they won't stop until they achieve their goal!"
When the man heard Xu Hao had provoked the Mengzi Family, his face instantly turned extremely ugly, as if he had encountered something unbelievable, frightening him immensely. He pulled another person and started running outside.
Xu Hao chuckled lightly, "What? Are you scared now? Weren't you so formidable just now? Didn't you say your Xuanwu Sect could withstand any sect force's attack? Why did you turn into this when you heard about the Mengzi Family?"
Liu Ruyan also found it amusing. These people initially showed an arrogant attitude of disregarding everyone, but when they heard Xu Hao provoked the Mengzi Family, they immediately panicked like mice seeing a cat, fleeing quickly.
But Old Six quickly asked, "Xu Hao, how did you manage to provoke them? That's the Mengzi Family! One of the strongest known families on the Huaya Continent."
Xu Hao immediately caught the "known" in Old Six's words and said, "You mean there are forces on the Huaya Continent stronger than the Mengzi Family?"
