Chapter 43, The Master of the Supreme Gate

  They ran into Qin Hao and it was as if they had been jinxed for eight lifetimes. Their strength wasn't great, but they had a lot of luck on their side. The trump cards in their hands were endless, and most importantly, these trump cards could easily wipe them out. This was also the greatest sorrow since they started cultivating.

  Qin Hao scolded them, and they had to bear it too.

  "Mom, this waste is so arrogant, we're all kneeling and he's standing alone, the elder Taishang is actually still flattering him." Yang Shidi was extremely unbalanced in his heart, he really regretted that time when he pushed Qin Hao down the cliff, not only did he not die, but he even became smarter.

  It's estimated that those superior elders are the ones who caused all this, and they must flay him alive. People care about their reputation, trees need bark, and for those who can become immortals, each of their faces is more important than anything else. Now, not only do they have to swallow their pride, but also endure others' scolding. It's imaginable how furious they are inside. If it were someone else, they would have been slapped into dust by now.

  "What do you want to do?" Finally, one of the Taishang elders couldn't hold back their anger and humiliated them in front of all the disciples and even the younger elders. They looked worse than dead, Qin Hao's move was truly ruthless, if he couldn't kill them, he would make them lose all face and wish they could die.

  "Little kid, don't think that just because you have the Thunder Spirit Symbol, we'll surrender to you. A warrior can be killed but not humiliated. At worst, one of us will die and the other will live." The Supreme Elder of Riyue Peak angrily said this, earlier he was scolded by Qin Hao in front of so many disciples, directly scolding his mother, even Buddha would get angry.

  "Yes, a gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. Don't think that we are afraid of you just because you have the support of others." Another elder also said.

  "Is that so? Urgent as the law........." Qin Hao stepped forward again, and the incantation to activate the symbol record was about to be recited. Suddenly, the few Taishang elders who were still full of energy just now were frightened and sweating profusely. The electric light almost triggered the great trend of thunder in the void, accompanied by a series of crackling sounds of electric light.

  At the critical moment, Qin Hao didn't say the last word, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they were also annoyed in their hearts. Qin Hao was obviously playing tricks on them.

  "Hao'er is really........." Mingyue Xiang didn't know what to say to Qin Hao, even if he was a junior disciple of the Daoist sect, no one dared to behave like this towards a Daoist cultivator. But Qin Hao insisted on walking into this forbidden zone, aren't you threatening me with mutual destruction? Then I'll fulfill your wish, Qin Hao and the others wouldn't dare to give up their own lives, they're all thousand-year-old old demons who know what it means to cherish life.

  "Little friend, put away the Thunder Spirit Symbol. Let's sit down and talk slowly. There's nothing in this world that can't be discussed. If you really use the Thunder Spirit Symbol, everyone will end up dying together. What will you gain from it? Moreover, you are one of the rare miracles in the world, able to cultivate the Panhuang Divine Veins. Perhaps you are the hope of the Panhuang clan. If you fall here and die with us, wouldn't that be a waste?" The Xuanmen Sect Master spoke up, putting aside all his pride, using reason to persuade and emotions to move.

  Qin Hao still didn't know what they were doing, slapping him in the face and then giving him a date to eat. If he was really Jing Xuan, he might have considered it, but he wasn't Jing Xuan. However, by making such a fuss, he wasn't really thinking of dying together with her, but rather coming up with a perfect plan. Always being spied on made his heart feel uncomfortable.

  "Alright, as long as you're willing to discover the Heavenly Dao Oath, don't lay a hand on me in the future, and everyone in the Mystic Gate must keep my secret. Otherwise, you'll never be able to ascend to the Human Dao for eternity. If you don't agree, let's die together!" Qin Hao proposed his conditions, as long as he had a chance to catch his breath, he had a great opportunity to enter the famous academy, and with his physique, it wasn't impossible for him to fight against them.

  "This..." All the Taishang elders suddenly hesitated, as no one in this world dared to go against the Heavenly Dao oath. Not only would the Heavenly Dao's thunder punishment befall them, but also everything promised in the oath would come true a hundred percent.

  Once the oath was sworn, they couldn't lay a hand on Qin Hao. Originally, they had other plans, thinking that an open attack wouldn't work and considering assassination instead. But now it seems that Qin Hao isn't as foolish as they thought, this is what's called "one effort for all eternity".

  "Hao'er is indeed clever. If he really makes a vow, then none of the Taishang elders can lay hands on him, but he can lay hands on them. In that case, perhaps no one in Xuanmen can control him anymore. With this, I can finally put my mind at ease and go to Tianxuan with peace of mind." Mingyue Xiang nodded, the big stone in her heart finally put down, her only concern in Xuanmen was Qin Hao.

  "What's wrong, won't you respond?" Qin Hao said coldly, looking at the expressions of the crowd, and suddenly recited that curse again: "Quick quick like law......"

  "Stop, stop..." The elders hurriedly stopped him, knowing that Qin Hao couldn't possibly say the last word. But their hearts were still tight with anxiety, making them take an oath was not difficult, it's just that they couldn't put down the things on Qin Hao's body, those were precious treasures after all.

  "We can't take action against you, but what if you take action against us? Unless Little Friend also makes a vow not to take action against us, we won't be at ease." Yunfeng's Taishang Elder was quite clever and noticed the inconsistency in the text.

  "Of course, you should make the vow first. If I were to make it first, I'm afraid you would immediately take action and kill me." Qin Hao sneered, playing a game of words with them, these people are still too tender.

  At that moment, the scene fell into a stalemate. If they had made an oath and Qin Hao was being unreasonable, then they would be at a loss for what to do. The feeling of being beaten passively wouldn't be pleasant.

  "What's wrong, unwilling?" Seeing the expressions on the faces of the several Supreme Elders, Qin Hao stepped forward again, apparently about to recite that urgent and stern order once more. He didn't have time to waste either.

  Xiao Meng's borrowed power won't last much longer, and if things continue like this, he'll definitely be exposed. This isn't some top-grade Lei Ling symbol, at most it's mid-grade, and it might even be low-grade. Although it can kill a cultivator who has achieved the Great Way, the effect is completely different. That's why he needs a Heavenly Dao oath to protect himself; otherwise, those Taishang elders will absolutely not show any mercy if they discover this.

  "This kid, actually made us all swear an oath, it's really infuriating. This way, everyone can't escape the restraints of heaven's law, if we go back on our words, we'll be struck by lightning! For people like us who aren't even proper cultivators, ordinary thunder and lightning can easily annihilate us." That Yang disciple was extremely resentful, but what could he do? Li Chen is dead, his father is dead, his grandfather the Supreme Elder is also dead. Everything is because of Qin Hao, whom he looked down on. Now this small fry can do what?"

  "Unexpectedly, even the elder Taishang didn't dare to kill him. Why don't I have such good fortune? Such a foolish waste of space has such an unexpected encounter, why don't I...?" Xiaoyu lay on the ground, feeling very resentful, but she dared not say this out loud, as Qin Hao could crush her with just one finger now.

  "No, no, no, that's not what we mean. It just doesn't seem fair to do it this way. What if the vows we make now become a burden for us later on? How will we handle it then?" One of the elder superiors hastily responded, as Qin Hao was now their little ancestor and they couldn't afford to offend him with the Lei Ling symbol in his possession.

  "Fair?" Qin Hao laughed, unexpectedly this senior elder was so extreme, even using the word "fair", coldly he said: "When you wanted to kill me, why didn't you say fair? You kept saying I'm not respectful to seniors, it's really strange. I haven't even mentioned that you're bullying the weak, now you're talking about fairness with me?"

  "A group of elder monks were left speechless, and the elder monk from Day Peak finally couldn't bear it anymore: 'What do you want to do?'"

  "I swear, I'll put away the Thunder Spirit Symbol. If not, we all die together!" Qin Hao sneered, his electric aura flashing, faintly outlining the hidden grandeur of thunder in the depths, threads of energy forming a web that made everyone's heart feel numb.

  The entire situation fell into a stalemate, and in the face of Lei Ling's overwhelming divine power, they were helpless. The situation was forcing them to submit, but Day Peak's Taishang Elder was extremely displeased in his heart. Finally, he got angry and could no longer hold back: "If we're going to die, then so be it. At worst, we'll all perish together."

  As soon as this was said, all the other Taishang elders were frightened and thought to themselves: "You old man, even if you want to die, don't drag us down with you!" The entire Xuanmen's elder's hearts were cursing, but they didn't even have the qualifications to persuade him.

  "Wang Bi, what's wrong with you?" The few people behind him hurried up to persuade him, and they were also annoyed in their hearts. In the end, they had to smile and say to Qin Hao: "Don't mind, little friend."

  "Hmph, what's the point of arguing with him? If I can die under the Lei Ling symbol, it would be worth it. He wouldn't dare to argue with us like this if he was willing to perish together with us." Wang Bi's old and frail face erupted like a volcano, clearly infuriated by Qin Hao.

  "Alright, since this senior elder is so brave, then let's die together." Qin Hao secretly urged the symbol record, and the electric lights in the void became more and more vigorous. Everyone's divine spirit shrank into their divine storage, all feeling a tremble. Only when it was truly used did this Wang Bi Senior Elder discover what the cost of being tough was.

  "Little friend..." The smiles on the faces of the various senior elders were uglier than crying, and in their hearts, they hated Wang Bi thoroughly.

  Just then, a loud voice came from outside Mingyue Peak: "Wait, little friend."

  This voice carried an irresistible majesty, second only to the thunder's might. The sound came from the main peak of the Mystic Gate, and everyone was shocked, including the Supreme Elders. Only the Master of the Mystic Gate seemed to know who had arrived, and finally let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

  At dawn, the moonlight finally faded, accompanied by a faint red glow in the east. A figure emerged from the Sun Peak, seemingly slow but with strides that spanned thousands of feet. With clouds underfoot and an ethereal aura, the figure had white hair and a wispy beard, exuding an otherworldly air. The temperament on his body harmonized with the pulse of heaven and earth, giving people a soft and natural feeling.

  "This is......" All the senior elders were shocked, they all knew this person, but some dared not to believe: "At the beginning of the closed door, the lifespan was approaching, unexpectedly he was still alive, looking at his temperament, it turned out to be.........."

  "Pay respects to the Supreme Master of Tai Shang Men." As the old man approached, everyone knelt down on the ground, including the Supreme Elder of Tai Shang, who was a true cultivator of the Human Way and also the Supreme Master of Xuan Men.
