If the thousand-year cold pond had a spirit, it would surely be menting its fate!

  After enduring millennia of ge, it had never entered someone so adept at pying tricks, leaving those demons in the dust!

  Wang Shihan y half-reed on the ground, her beautiful eyes filled with hatred.

  If looks could kill, Lin Hao would have been riddled with holes.

  For the sake of the Great Dao, she had severed emotions and cut ties, never having close tact with a man.

  This oime, it ended up being an intimate enter.

  She was furious, wishing she could tear the man to pieces.

  But her injuries hadn't healed, and she was too weak to even stand, let alone kill someone.

  Lin Hao circuted his cultivation teique through a small cycle, transf the turbulent spiritual energy he absorbed into his own.

  After cultivating with the woman, he finally broke through the barrier and reached the peak of Foundatioablishment!

  He opened his eyes, g the woman, then stood up and tossed her some clothes.

  "Put on your clothes. We were just a fleeting enter, o keep me in your thoughts."

  When she caught the clothes, Wang Shihan thought he still had some sce, but upon hearing the tter part of his sentence, her anger surged.

  "Who would keep you in mind..."

  Before she could finish, her expression froze, and she shook the clothes.

  A low-grade spirit stone rolled out from them.

  "Lin Hao, what do you mean by this?"

  Lin Hao tidied his hair, slung the goose-yellow sword sheath over his back, and said calmly, "What do you think?"

  "You..."

  Wang Shihan ched the spirit stone in her hand, her brow furrowed with endless fury.

  "Do you take me for a high-css brothel woman? How dare you insult me like this!"

  "Think what you want, but I did pay, so it's not for nothing..."

  Before he could finish, Lin Hao jumped onto his flying sword, turned into a streak of light, and disappeared into the sky.

  "Too much!" Wang Shihan was furious, her delicate arm bursting with strength, crushing the spirit stone.

  The reason Lin Hao left in such a hurry was not only because it was uo linger, fearing an ambush by the woman's panions, but also because he wao find a quiet pce to retreat for a few days.

  He o stabilize his cultivation at the peak of Foundatioablishment and refine his mastery of teiques.

  But his luck was terrible; if he wasn't ambushed, he would enter a great demon.

  A giant ape, as rge as a small mountain, suddenly leaped out, r and attag him.

  Damn it!

  The rger the Mountaihe stro is.

  This ape was eighteeers tall and three meters wide, its strength likely parable to the peak of Foundatioablishment!

  The Demon 's territory was indeed perilous at every step; one careless move and you'd fall into their trap!

  Time to run!

  Lin Hao wasn't afraid he couldn't defeat the great ape, but the Demon 's vitality was robust, and eliminating it would e at a great cost.

  With that time, he'd rather go rob those who were hunting him.

  ...

  Wang Shihan was extremely frustrated.

  She had been having a streak of bad luck tely; not only was her long-guarded purity taken, but the news had also spread.

  Now, whenever she met someohey would ask about it, though in a ed tone, yet... she still found it very annoying.

  Just like now, the so-called Anti-Lin Alliahese male cultivators could curse Lin Hao all they wanted, but they had t her into it.

  "Fellow disciples, the vile demon Lin Hao, practig demonic arts and walking the Demon Path, has insulted Fairy Shihan, which is a grave viotion of sect taboos. What should we do?"

  "Extermihe demon!"

  "Extermihe demon!"

  "Extermihe demon!"

  The crowd was fervent, and the male cultivators present were extremely indignant, viewing Wang Shihan as a pure fairy.

  But now that the fairy had been insulted, how could they not be angry!

  Seeing the crowd's rea, a trace of ruthlessness fshed in Wang Ben's eyes. He was ranked eenth in the inner sepetition, but Lin Hao had ambushed him when he was exhausted from sying demons, stealing the demon cores he had painstakingly collected.

  He already had a score to settle with Lin Hao, and now this sdrel had insulted the fairy he had admired for years.

  Old grudges and new hatreds, he wished he could grind Lin Hao's boo dust!

  Many couldn't stand Lin Hao's as, and under Wang Ben's deliberate anization, nearly four to five hundred people gathered, creating an imposing momentum!

  But Wang Ben felt it wasn't enough. Not to mention that sdrel's strength had increased again, just his master was like a mountain, pressing on everyone's hearts, making it hard to breathe!

  They shouted to kill, but when it came to openly killing Lin Hao, no one dared to act.

  Great Bamboo Peak was notorious for proteg its own.

  If Lin Hao died in this wilderness, the one o Bamboo Peak would likely e with a sword, and none of the family elders present could protect the perpetrator.

  So, they needed someoh a strong background!

  Wang Ben was shrewd; he sent someoo invite Ning Qingxue and Lu Buping.

  These two, one was the Sect Leader's favored disciple, the other was the disciple of the Grand Elder, her feared the Great Bamboo Peak lineage.

  If they could get these two to join, sying Lin Hao would be a piece of cake.

  Half a day ter.

  A person arrived on a flying sword.

  Seeing only one person ing, Wang Ben was displeased and said coldly, "Junior Brother Liu, didn't I ask you to invite Senior Brother Lu? Where is he?"

  Junior Brother Liu wore a bitter expression and sighed, "Senior Brother Lu said he has y with Lin Hao and doesn't want to get involved."

  y? Wang Ben frowned slightly. Lin Hao had insulted a fellow disciple, clearly vioti rules. As a sect disciple, he should kill this sdrel to uphold the sect's reputation!

  Yet he spoke of y?

  It seemed the Grand Elder's lineage was a bit biased!

  Of course, Wang Ben only dared to think these thoughts; he wouldn't dare offend the top inner sect disciple, let alohe Grand Elder.

  "Well, Junior Brother Liu, you've worked hard. Go rest and recover; we'll wait for news from Junior Sister Guo."

  Actually, he didn't hold much hope anymore.

  Ning Qingxue was focused on the sword path and didn't herself with worldly matters.

  If Lu Buping didn't want to e, she probably wouldher.

  Another half-hour passed, and Junior Sister Guo arrived alone.

  Wang Ben's face was uaihe top two of the inner sepetition not willing to e?

  What should he do!

  They had the o capture and kill Lin Hao, but expining it to Master Feng was the problem.

  If Lu Buping and Ning Qingxue didn't participate, it would be really difficult.

  Wang Ben couldn't help but feel like retreating.

  "Senior Brother Wang, good news, Senior Sister Ning is willing to lead the team to elimihe demon Lin!" Junior Sister Guo said to Wang Ben as soon as she arrive
