Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 268 - Demon Lord

Chapter 268 -268: Demon Lord?
Shi Hao and his group came to a camp by the huge pit.
This was part of the territory of the Zhenwu Sect.
There were many such camps, naturally belonging to other forces, sparsely distributed around this huge pit.
Because nothing had been uncovered yet, and there were no conflicts of interest, everyone was at peace, but should something valuable be found, it certainly wouldn’t be as harmonious as it was now.
“Let’s start work as soon as possible,” Xiao Bo waved his hand.
The Zhenwu Sect occupied a large area, now this was their exclusive territory where they could dig freely.
Everyone nodded, gripping the shovels in their hands, eager to start.
They rushed to claim spot, and began to dig.
Of course, powerhouses like Xiao Bo and Luo Haodian from Self-Observation wouldn’t personally engage in the digging; they stood at the edge of the pit, hands behind their backs, waiting for a discovery before they would act.
“Eh, our Sect Master is so young?” Shi Hao glanced at Xiao Bo, unable to suppress his curiosity.
An Yuemei also took a look and said, “It is said that the Sect Master practiced a Secret Technique, which allowed him to rejuvenate and become full of energy.”
“Pfft!” Su Manman immediately laughed, covering her mouth with her delicate hand, giving off a look of disdain.
An Yuemei immediately displayed displeasure, she was actually very proud, and only restrained herself in front of Shi Hao, but why were you mocking me?
“What did you see?” Shi Hao asked.
He knew that Su Manman came from a superpower and definitely had exceptional insights.
Su Manman scoffed and then said, “This Sect Master has been bewitched!”
Bewitched?
Shi Hao, An Yuemei, and Cao Feiyan looked at each other, since martial artists don’t readily believe in spirits and demons, let alone being bewitched.
Su Manman didn’t explain further, but simply pursed her lips toward Chen Ling: “She has bewitched him, and if you don’t leave soon, you’ll be getting a new Sect Master in less than half a year.”
“Why do you say that?” Shi Hao pursued.
Su Manman glanced at him and said, “Shameless!”
Eh, when did I become shameless?
Shi Hao looked at Xiao Bo, then at Chen Ling. According to An Yuemei, this woman was someone Xiao Bo had met while excavating this ancient city, falling in love at first sight, and quickly becoming intimate.
Could it be that this woman possessed some Secret Technique that could bewitch people’s hearts?
As he stared at Chen Ling, she seemed to feel his gaze and looked back at Shi Hao.
For a moment, Shi Hao felt as if he was being thoroughly seen through from the inside out.
Chen Ling showed a hint of surprise; there was actually someone so good-looking in this world!
Interesting.
Shi Hao didn’t look at the future Sect Master’s wife anymore. After all, he was soon to be a passerby; whether the Zhenwu Sect’s Sect Master lived or died was none of his business.
If Xiao Bo indeed died because of Chen Ling, it was the other’s own choice.
They continued to dig.
The soil here was not compact, and for martial artists like Shi Hao, digging was trivially easy, with surprisingly fast progress. However, the problem was that what lay before them was a massive city!
Although they had uncovered several rooms in just one day, compared to the entire city, it was insignificant.

At night, they did not continue to work overtime but went back to the tents to rest.
Since sleep was essential, working through the night made no sense since excavating an ancient city was clearly a long-term project.
Therefore, no one would work through the night—unless something was discovered during the day that they did not want others to find out about, only then would they act secretly at night.
Shi Hao had gotten up in the middle of the night, taking out the Spirit Exploration Compass as he moved above the ancient city.
This device could detect special fluctuations within a radius of three miles, including but not limited to Spiritual Artifacts and Spiritual Objects. Therefore, with this tool, Shi Hao could generally determine whether there were treasures underground.
In fact, he was not interested in Cultivation Techniques or Martial Techniques. His memory itself was a super treasure; why would he need so many Cultivation Techniques or Martial Techniques?
Unless it was ones like the Sky-Flipping Seal or the Nine Lotus Sky-Sealing Technique, which even Yuan Chengmie, if resurrected, might covet.
He moved quickly, darting along his path.
Those unaware would never think that he was actually treasure hunting. They would only assume that he was a young man with vivid spirit, unable to stay asleep, needing to expend his excessive energy.
“Young man, what are you running for?” a voice suddenly asked, unbearably coquettish.
At the thought, Shi Hao immediately hid the Spirit Exploration Compass and then turned to look behind him.
A woman in a thin, light gauze dress stood there. Although it was not completely revealing, the night breeze caused the fabric to cling tightly to her body, perfectly outlining her exquisite figure.
Hot and sexy enough to make anyone’s heart race. Coupled with her bewitchingly beautiful face, she could easily turn anyone beastly in an instant.
Chen Ling.
However, Shi Hao was completely unmoved.
In his eyes, such pretentious women were particularly ugly.
After all, compared to the absolute beauty of Su Manman, she truly had no commendable qualities.
“It’s none of your business,” he said indifferently.
Chen Ling was slightly startled; she had actually been rejected, and by a man!
How could that be?
Her Myriad Demons Enchanting Technique had already reached the fifth level. On this continent, there should be no one who could resist her charm. How could this be?
“Young man, do you feel the long night is hard to endure by yourself?” she adjusted her mentality, fully unleashing her seductive charms. “What a coincidence, I also feel empty and lonely. How about… we sit and talk for a long while, chat about life?”
She gave him a flirty glance, almost outright saying let’s sleep together.
“No time, no interest,” Shi Hao turned and left.
He just walked away?
Chen Ling stood there stunned, watching Shi Hao’s back, completely unable to accept it.
How could that be?
The Myriad Demons Enchanting Technique was a remarkable Secret Technique; once mastered, all men under the heavens should fall under its spell, yet now, she had encountered an exception!
Hiss!
She suddenly had a thought—could this be the reincarnation of the Demon Lord?
In the past, the Heavenly Demon Path had almost been invincible until it was suddenly struck a severe blow, leading to its rapid disintegration. The Demon Lord leading the Heavenly Demon Path had also met with a great catastrophe.
However, it was said that the Demon Lord had mastered the art of the Soul Seed leaving the body, an Undead skill.
Thus, among the former followers of the Heavenly Demon Path, a legend persisted that one day, the Demon Lord would return and, at that time, no one could stop the Heavenly Demon Path.
One characteristic of the Demon Lord was his immunity to all Demonic Techniques.
This young man’s cultivation was so weak; logically, he couldn’t resist her Charming Skill, so there was only one explanation left.
She couldn’t help feeling excited. If she could assist the Demon Lord in his resurgence, what great honor, what great achievement would that be?
