Chapter 395 - 395 Meeting with Emperor Xin
395 Meeting with Emperor Xin
The Seven Demons of Mt. Mei had one peak-stage Heaven Immortal and six peak-stage Earth Immortals.
Even Di Xin was dumbfounded when he heard the news.
At Great Shang, in the great hall of Zhaoge Palace…
“What’s the background of this Zhao Hao? It’s said that not even a Golden Immortal can handle Yuan Hong. How could he be captured just like that!?”
Emperor Xin, who was sitting at the top, looked at the ministers below with suspicion.
“Your Majesty, I’ve already sent a secret agent to Penglai. I believe that we’ll receive news in no time.”
As the head of the special agents, Fei Zhong immediately expressed his stance.
“Your Majesty, I’ve met Zhao Hao, the General of Jiepai Pass. He helped me kill the River God of Wei River and captured Yuan Hong of the Seven Demons of Mt. Mei. Why don’t we invite him into the court and reward him?” Wen Zhong said to Di Xin in a clear voice.
Emperor Xin’s brows were tightly furrowed.
As he continued to develop the human race, he made many arrangements.
The entire world had already changed beyond recognition.
Although Zhao Hao was from his camp, he was too strong. If he didn’t meet him, even he himself was not at ease.
“Alright, pass on my orders. The General of Jiepai Pass, Zhao Hao, is to come.”
At Jiepai Pass, in the military chief’s residence…
After Zhao Hao returned, he sent all his subordinates out.
He was alone, silently drinking wine and waiting for Yuan Hong to wake up.
Although Yuan Hong had been severely injured by the two Sea-Pacifying Pearls, he had a strong physical body cultivated by the Eight-Nine Mysteries.
Yuan Hong’s external injuries had basically healed.
The remaining internal injuries would also recover in no time.
“It’s indeed a good cultivation method. I heard that if you cultivate the Eight-Nine Mysteries to the 9th transformation, your body can be comparable to that of a peak-stage Heaven Golden Immortal of Origin. I wonder if it’s true,” Zhao Hao said enviously as he looked at Yuan Hong’s body that was brimming with vitality.
Soon, Yuan Hong woke up.
Yuan Hong’s body was very strong, and ordinary ropes wouldn’t be able to tie him up, so Zhao Hao decided not to tie him up.
Yuan Hong, who had just woken up, could not help but rub his head.
The blow from the Sea-Pacifying Pearl had really given Yuan Hong a lot of pain.
“You’re awake? Then don’t lie down, get up,” Zhao Hao said very calmly.
Yuan Hong was stunned when he heard this. He then realized that he was not in Mt. Mei, but in a hall.
When he saw Zhao Hao drinking at the seat of honor, only then did Yuan Hong recall those memories. He was furious and was about to hit Zhao Hao.
However, in the next moment, a pearl stopped right in front of Yuan Hong’s eyes, less than a centimeter away from his head.
“Calm down. If I attack again, I can’t guarantee that you’ll wake up,” Zhao Hao said gloomily.
Immediately, Yuan Hong stopped moving forward and looked around before speaking to Zhao Hao.
“You killed six of my brothers and brought me here. What is your purpose?”
After all, Yuan Hong and the six demons had been together for hundreds of years. It would be a lie if he said that he didn’t want to take revenge.
However, the situation was better than the person. If he couldn’t beat Zhao Hao, there was nothing he could do.
“I see that you are a straightforward monkey, so I will cut to the chase. You have two choices now. One, hand over the Eight-Nine Mysteries and follow me to Zhaoge, becoming the Conferred God of the Shang dynasty. We will be colleagues from now on. Two, I will bring your corpse to Zhaoge and add another merit to my name.”
Zhao Hao didn’t want to waste any time and told Yuan Hong his purpose directly.
Yuan Hong’s eyes were filled with anger, but the next moment, 36 bean-sized pearls appeared around Yuan Hong.
Yuan Hong was very familiar with these pearls.
Back then, he had almost been killed by just two pearls.
And now, 36 pearls were floating around Yuan Hong.
Beads of cold sweat dripped from Yuan Hong’s forehead as he looked at Zhao Hao’s cold eyes.
Yuan Hong had no doubt that if he refused, he would be beaten into a sieve in the next moment.
“Okay, I choose the first option.”
Yuan Hong was still very tactful. Compared to death, nothing else was more important.
Soon, Zhao Hao had the cultivation method of the Eight-Nine Mysteries in his hands. Although there was no way to prove the authenticity of the cultivation method, this difficulty was not a problem for Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao didn’t start cultivating immediately. Instead, he took Yuan Hong and flew toward the capital.
Di Xin’s verbal order had already been sent over.
He wanted to meet the talented transmigrator, General Zhao.
…
Soon, Zhao Hao arrived at the capital with Yuan Hong.
During this time, Yuan Hong did not have any thoughts of running away.
The main reason was that Zhao Hao’s deterrence was too great.
Plus, they were in Great Shang’s territory, so thinking about it, it wasn’t that hard to accept becoming the first Conferred God of Great Shang.
Zhao Hao brought Yuan Hong to the palace and took out his token.
Soon, a large number of guards appeared.
Fei Zhong, who was wearing a black robe, carefully sized up Zhao Hao for a long time before he spoke. “General Zhao, I’m Fei Zhong, the Great Physician.”
Zhao Hao was also confused by Fei Zhong’s appearance and wondered who this mysterious black-robed man was.
When he heard Fei Zhong’s name, Zhao Hao was also stunned.
How did the great swindler who left his name in history end up like this?
Zhao Hao still didn’t know that Fei Zhong had become the top secret agent in the entire world. The aura on Fei Zhong’s body was already very strange to Zhao Hao.
“Doctor Fei is too polite.”
Zhao Hao still gave him face and returned the bow.
Then, under Fei Zhong’s lead, Zhao Hao and Yuan Hong entered the palace.
In the main hall…
Emperor Xin’s eyes were fixed on Zhao Hao, who was clad in armor.
As for Yuan Hong, who was standing beside Zhao Hao, Emperor Xin did not even put him in his eyes.
The entire hall fell into a strange silence.
Finally, just as the atmosphere gradually became strange, one of the officials stood out and pointed at Zhao Hao as he roared, “How dare you, Zhao Hao!? How can you be so rude in front of the emperor? Hurry up and kneel down.”
Killing intent flashed in Zhao Hao’s eyes. He had been in this world for so long, yet no one had ever dared to make him kneel.
There was once a statue of him, but it cracked before he could finish kneeling.
“I wonder how I should address you, sir?” Zhao Hao asked calmly.
“I am Doctor Shang, you imbecile!”
