Chapter 647: Chapter 647: Openly Sheltering

The Great Sacrificial Heaven powerhouse made his move, and everything was over.

Crack!

Just then, with a crisp snap, the hand that Lin Si extended was forcibly shattered by someone.

“Who?” Lin Si was shocked. The person who made the move hadn’t even shown their face yet easily dispersed his attack, their strength was at least a notch above his.

“You’re just from the Royal Court, yet you’re from the Great Sacrificial Heaven, do you feel good about making a move?” A majestic voice sounded, then a man with an overwhelming aura appeared, like a round of the sun, instantly stealing everyone’s limelight.

“Palace, Palace Master!” Lin Si had never imagined it, staring dumbfounded at the man.

Du Bian, the Palace Master of Dao King Palace, a powerhouse of the Heaven Connecting Road.

Hiss!

How could such a prominent figure have been alerted?

Du Bian snorted and said, “Tell me, why are you targeting this young man?”

“Re, return to Palace Master, this child forcefully entered our Dao King Palace, it’s clearly a provocation!” Lin Si hurriedly said, holding the moral high ground in this matter, so he was not afraid of the academy’s interrogation.

“Oh?” Du Bian scoffed, “He is a disciple of my Dao King Palace, how can there be talk of forcefully entering?”

What?

Lin Si was stunned, wait a minute, when did Shi Hao become a disciple of Dao King Palace?

Clearly, this kid was rejected by all the Study Palaces.

“Palace Master, when was he taken into the Dao King Palace?” he asked dumbfounded.

Du Bian glared at him and retorted, “Do I need to report to you who I recruit?”

What?

Lin Si was again taken aback, you recruited him?

You, a distinguished Palace Master of the Heaven Connecting Road, just a step away from reaching the Absolute Summit, what status do you hold?

Such a trivial matter, do you need to handle it personally?

But, can’t Du Bian do that?

Of course, he can.

He, a mere practitioner of the Great Sacrificial Heaven, what right has he to criticize?

Damn!

That means, Shi Hao has long been a disciple of the Dao King Palace, so the claim that he didn’t follow the rules and came to provoke is nonexistent.

His battle with Shan Ying and others had become a sparring session among fellow disciples of the Study Palace, regardless of who lost or won, it wouldn’t impact the reputation of the Dao King Palace, and since Shi Hao didn’t cripple or kill anyone, he, as a teacher, naturally had no reason to punish him either.

Wrong!

He immediately said, “Palace Master, this boy is clearly from the Founding King Court, yet he attacked Self-Observation by forcibly breaking his fingers, this act is too vile, please enlighten us, Palace Master!”

Du Bei looked at Liu Shen indifferently and said, “Did your fingers break?”

When did you become blind, can’t you see it’s obvious?

Liu Shen first said in his heart, then immediately showed a look of fear.

A powerhouse of the Heaven Connecting Road, covering up the truth so blatantly, what extent of favoritism is this?

If he dared speak a single incorrect word, that would equate to making an enemy of a powerhouse of the Heaven Connecting Road.

Dammit, he was just a mere Self-Observation.

“I’m speaking to you!” Du Bei asked sternly, booming with the aura of the Heaven Connecting Road, snap, making Lin Si unable to bear it, his knees buckling as he knelt firmly.

The problem is, nobody else knelt, only he knelt down, how obvious was this targeted act?

Seeing this, Liu Shen naturally lost all his thoughts and hurriedly shook his head, “Return to Palace Master, my fingers are not broken, they are very fine, very fine.”

Lin Si heard this, and his face immediately flushed with anger.

This was completely distorting the truth, who couldn’t see clearly that Liu Shen’s two fingers were about to fall off?

Even if you are a Palace Master, you can’t be so autocratic.

Shi Hao smiled faintly, “Who instructed you to injure Han Dong?”

Liu Shen’s heart trembled, and he hesitated even more.

Should he spill the truth?

Shi Hao’s momentum was too strong, even Du Bei was backing him up.

“Liu Shen, you should watch your words!” Lin Si couldn’t help but speak.

Slap!

Du Bei made a move, directly sending Lin Si flying away.

He coldly said, “Say another useless word, and I will send you to the Elemental Cave. If you don’t obtain one hundred Elemental Cores of the Great Sacrificial Heaven level, don’t bother coming back!”

Lin Si hit the ground, continuous vomiting blood, yet he dared not utter half a word.

Are you kidding? To kill a hundred same-level Elemental Creatures, would he even survive?

The next time in the Elemental Cave, he would be lucky to kill five same-level Elemental Creatures, and that was already risking his life.

Seeing this, Liu Shen’s internal balance tipped, and he said, “It was brother Lin Chenkai.”

Lin Chenkai?

Shi Hao suddenly remembered; this person had appeared in the Purple Green Secret Realm, apparently a disciple of cultivation from Mysterious Frost Valley.

Huh?

Lin Si, Lin Chenkai, haha, they must be from the same family.

No wonder Lin Si

Shi Hao glanced at Lin Si, no wonder this guy was jumping around so much; it turned out this matter also involved his cousin from the Kong Family.

“Why would Lin Chenkai target me?” he asked again.

After hesitating a while, Liu Shen finally said, “Brother Lin Chenkai has quite a fondness for Sister Xia Mengyin, so…”

The rest went without saying, Lin Chenkai wanted to use this incident to ruin Shi Hao, even to get him kicked out of the academy.

Shi Hao was astonished. He and Xia Mengyin had met in the Cursed Land and had little interaction in the Purple Green Secret Realm. Had Lin Chenkai really investigated this?

Clearly, this man must pay incredibly close attention to Xia Mengyin, otherwise, why would he specifically investigate?

Shi Hao patted Liu Shen on the shoulder and said, “Later, go apologize to Han Dong, and make it sincere, understand?”

“Understand! Understand! Understand!” Liu Shen hurriedly nodded; he really shouldn’t have been greedy. Now, he had thoroughly offended Shi Hao and would even struggle to get by in Dao King Palace.

Shi Hao looked again at Lin Si but did not speak.

If Lin Chenkai had Liu Shen take action, this person must have been involved in instigating it.

Therefore, he would not let either of them go.

Lin Si saw the expression on Shi Hao’s face and sneered internally.

Thinking of taking revenge on Lin Chenkai?

What a joke, Lin Chenkai was the top master of Fist King Palace, who had already ignited the Incense Flame, just a step away from advancing into the Great Sacrificial Heaven.

You seeking him now, haha, is simply bringing disgrace upon yourself.

As for himself, a proud Great Sacrificial Heaven, he could suppress Shi Hao with a flick of his finger.

Unfortunately, now that Du Bian was backing Shi Hao, he couldn’t openly oppress him anymore.

There would still be opportunities, be it the opening of any ancient relic or trials in the Elemental Cave, the moment he encountered Shi Hao, he could entirely eliminate him, ending all future troubles.

Shi Hao nodded to Du Bian and returned to the entrance of Dao King Palace.

At this time, the battles between Weng Nanqing, Xia Mengyin and Pei Ziyuan, Yang Qingchen had also ended, with no clear winner.

“Shi Hao!” Seeing Shi Hao come out, Weng Nanqing and Xia Mengyin both greeted him.

Shi Hao nodded and said to Xia Mengyin, “Thank you.”

Weng Nanqing was his wife; no need for formalities, but Xia Mengyin’s intervention was a personal favor.

Weng Nanqing also knew this and couldn’t help feeling triumphant, casting a provoking glance at Xia Mengyin.
