Chapter 827 The Temple!

Shi Hao stood at the edge of the sinkhole, his gaze sweeping over the immortal corpse below, still enveloped in light, and then sensing the surrounding aura for a moment.

After confirming that the remaining violent energy showed no signs of spreading further, he let out a soft breath, turned to look at Lin Dong and the others, and said, "There is no strange aura or ominous trace. The immortal corpse should be safe for now."

Lin Dong's eyes lit up: "Then let's..."

Shi Hao nodded: "Let's go down and take another look. Although we can't touch that immortal corpse, we might be able to utilize the power contained in those rain of light."

The group re-entered the sinkhole and followed the passage back to the stone chamber.

This time, they did not rush to approach the immortal corpse, but stopped in front of the stone chamber.

Shi Hao sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to sense the power contained in the rain of light emanating from around the immortal corpse.

The light, like fine rain, drifted slowly down from the sky. When it landed on Shi Hao, it was neither scorching nor stinging; instead, it brought a warm, gentle touch, as if he were enveloped by a warm spring.

He felt the three streams of immortal energy within his body become crystal clear under the influence of this power, like jade that had been washed, radiating an even purer light.

His bones, blood, and soul were all nourished by this rain of light, as if withered trees had come back to life and were rejuvenated.

"Ah, this feels so good..."

The Lunar Jade Rabbit also followed Shi Hao's example and sat down cross-legged, closing its eyes to feel the power. Its rabbit ears twitched, and its face was full of enjoyment.

Lin Dong also sat down cross-legged, carefully sensing the changes within his body: "The power within this rain of light... is even purer than those divine fruits. If I could cultivate here for a period of time, it would be an absolutely invaluable opportunity!"

Han Li did not sit down, but stood to the side, cautiously observing his surroundings.

His fingers gently traced the edge of the storage bag, where he had prepared array flags and talismans.

Although he also wanted to sit down and absorb the light rain, his cautious nature kept him on guard.

Luo Feng, Qian Renxue, and Qin Hao also dispersed and stood guard around the stone chamber.

This place is a melting pot of all sorts of people, and when they came down, they were followed by a group of other cultivators.

They dared not devote themselves entirely to cultivation.

However, just as Shi Hao and the others were immersed in the rain of light, a series of heavy footsteps suddenly came from above the sinkhole.

The footsteps were neither hurried nor slow, yet each step was exceptionally heavy, as if they were treading on everyone's heart.

Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly walked down from the edge of the sinkhole and appeared at the entrance of the passage.

He was a tall young man, dressed in dark red armor, carrying a jet-black halberd.

The other person's eyes held an arrogant air of looking down on everything, and his whole body exuded a suffocating killing intent, as if he were a god of death who had emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

His gaze swept over the people in the stone chamber, and a slight sneer appeared on his lips.

"All the treasures here belong to the Kingdom of Heaven."

"Everyone, disperse... or die."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the cultivators who had come down with Shi Hao and his group changed drastically.

Heavenly Kingdom is one of the top assassin organizations in the upper realm, and even the major ancient sects have to be wary of it.

This young man calls himself "the second-best assassin in Heaven," which means he holds an extremely high position in Heaven and possesses absolutely terrifying strength.

"The second-best assassin in Heaven... Blood Halberd?"

"Legend has it that he once assassinated three cult leaders in a single day. What would he do here?"

"Hurry up and get out of here! Offending the people of Heaven means you'll die without even knowing how!"

"That's right, treasures are good, but life is more important..."

The cultivators retreated one after another, dispersing like a tide, not daring to look back.

Soon, only Shi Hao and his group, along with a few stubborn cultivators who still wanted to take advantage of the chaos, remained in front of the stone chamber, making it seem exceptionally empty.

Blood Halberd watched the figures fleeing in panic, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Then, his gaze fell on Shi Hao and his group.

He saw that Shi Hao was still sitting cross-legged in front of the stone chamber, with his eyes closed, as if he hadn't heard him at all.

The people around him stood still, not even glancing at him, as if he didn't exist.

Upon seeing this, Blood Halberd's eyes immediately turned cold.

Just then, another figure slowly descended from above the sinkhole.

It was a large, silver-white cat, several times larger than an ordinary cat, with smooth, silky fur and eyes like two emerald gems.

It walked gracefully to Blood Halberd's side, then glanced up at the crowd in the stone chamber and said in a lazy and arrogant tone, "The Temple, an ally of Heaven, is also here for a share."

"The temple..."

Cao Yusheng's expression changed.

He had heard of this power; it was an ancient lineage that was said to be on par with the Heavenly Kingdom, and it had long since disappeared from the world. How could it have appeared here today?

"That cat... I recognize it! It's the pet of the ancient holy son of the temple. It's said that this isn't its first time entering the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, and its strength is at its peak, even some sect leaders are no match for it!"

Upon hearing this, the remaining people all gasped in shock.

If a pet is already this powerful, then what kind of terrifying being must its owner be?

Blood Halberd pointed his halberd at Shi Hao and said in an icy voice, "Are you deaf, or do you want to die?"

Shi Hao still did not open his eyes.

He simply raised his right hand slowly and gently clenched it towards the void.

"—Buzz!!!"

A golden light spread out from his palm, rippling outwards like waves.

The light contained a strange power that suppressed most of the killing intent emanating from Xueji.

Shi Hao slowly opened his eyes, calmly looking at the Blood Halberd, then glancing at the large silver cat. A slight smile appeared on his lips, revealing an innocent and harmless expression.

"Heaven? Temple?"

As he spoke, he stood up and dusted himself off: "I was just worried about not finding anyone to test my swords with. You've come at the perfect time."

"court death……"

Blood Halberd's face darkened, and without further ado, he thrust his halberd forward with a fierce thrust.

"--Bang!!!"

A blinding beam of blood-red light erupted from the halberd blade, carrying a fierce killing intent, and shot straight at Shi Hao's face.

Instead of retreating, Shi Hao advanced, raised his hand, and the Great Luo Sword Embryo appeared in his palm.

Instead of using the blade to parry, he directly gripped the edge with his hand and held the sword horizontally in front of him.

"--boom!!!"

The blood-red light struck the sword core, producing a piercing metallic clang and sparks flying, but the sword core managed to block it.

"Is this all the second-best assassin in Heaven is capable of?"

Shi Hao's voice carried an undeniable confidence.

After he finished speaking, he flashed forward and charged directly at the blood halberd.

Battle is imminent.
