Divine Hint: Reporting An Escaped Convict From The Start

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As Li Hao finished speaking, for a while, no one stood up. Li Hao’s formidable strength acted as a considerable deterrent to the prodigies in attendance.

Finally, after a while, someone stepped forward.

Moreover, it was not just a single individual. There were seven or eight figures in total, each radiating an air of self-assuredness.

Among them were Ye Lang, Han Liu, Lin Ping, Shui Ling’er, Yue Linglong, and several others, all of whom were at the Golden Immortal realm, either as direct disciples or core disciples.

Notably, Lin Ping had reached the third-grade of the Golden Immortal realm.

A total of eight figures and eight powerful prodigies stood up again.

Though they had suffered defeats earlier in the arena, their unwillingness to concede was strong. With an additional spot available, they could not afford to pass it up.

Despite Li Hao’s remarkable display of power and his victory over Wex Dao, they believed that, collectively, they could overwhelm him.

Then, they would have another opportunity to vie for the last remaining spot.

As if they had reached a consensus, they rose together.

“Have you finally decided to step up? It’s you guys, isn’t it? Anyone else?” Li Hao’s expression remained largely unchanged.

“Just us, Martial Uncle. There’s no one else.” Lin Ping said to Li Hao among them and asked again.

“Martial Uncle, you mentioned earlier that you wanted us to attack together. Are you certain?” Lin Ping emphasized that this was not their initiative to gang up on him.

However, if they could not defeat the other party even if they attacked together, it would be useless no matter how many people there were.

If the eight of them joined forces, they would probably be able to fight even Golden Immortals above the fifth-grade. No matter how strong Li Hao was, he was definitely not their match.

“Hehe… Let’s attack together to avoid trouble,” Li Hao responded indifferently, showing no signs of concern.

“He wants to fight eight of them alone?”

“The eight of them are all famous prodigies of our Sky Travel Sect.”

“Even if he’s also a third-grade Golden Immortal, he might struggle against these eight.”

Immediately, shocked voices kept coming from the mouths of these surrounding disciples.

“What shameless boasting! Do you really think you’re invincible?”

Even on the high platform, Zhao Tianlei of Benlei Peak could not refrain from commenting upon hearing Li Hao’s words. He was not particularly interested in Li Hao; he was more bothered by the fact that this newcomer had defeated Wex Dao from his own peak, making him look bad.

“Junior Li Hao isn’t the most astute. While I believe he might succeed in one-on-one combat, if these eight join forces, his confidence may be somewhat misplaced,” commented the Peak Master of Jade Maiden Peak, Xiao Yuruo, voicing her thoughts.

“I’m more confident in junior! Master Zhao Feng, do you want to make a bet?”

At this moment, MO Tianxing, who was at the head of the table, spoke. He was quite confident in Li Hao.

“Bet?”

Zhao Tianlei was stunned by MO Tianxing’s words.

“So be it! How do we bet?”

Zhao Tianlei went all out and asked.

“Let’s bet on the outcome of Junior’s battle against them. If Junior loses, I’ll concede a high-grade immortal artifact to you,” MO Tianxing stated unequivocally.

High-grade immortal artifact?

Zhao Tianlei was also shocked by MO Tianxing’s words.

One had to know that none of these peak masters had any. Moreover, MO Tianxing only had a few high-grade immortal artifacts.

Zhao Tianlei was tempted and jealous.

And he wasn’t alone; Xiao Yuruo and the other peak masters were similarly astounded when they heard MO Tianxing’s proposition.

“High-grade Dharma artifact? Is the bet so big?”

Although temptation tugged at Zhao Tianlei, he remained composed. He was determined to win the wager. Moreover, if he was to participate, he needed to put up an appropriate wager.

“What if he wins?” asked Zhao Tianlei again. Although the possibility was extremely low, it was not impossible.

MO Tianxing promptly replied, “If Junior Li emerges victorious, you must surrender your Thunderclap Flowing Cloud Shuttle.”

“What?”

Hearing this, Zhao Tianlei’s expression changed.

The Thunderclap Flowing Cloud Shuttle was one of the only two medium-grade immortal artifacts in his possession. Moreover, it was his lifeline. Although it did not enhance his combat capabilities, it enabled him to traverse a thousand miles in a second after activation—far faster than many escape techniques—and offered robust defensive capabilities. “Why? Are you hesitant to accept the bet?”

MO Tianxing’s smile persisted, unsettling Zhao Tianlei further.

Trading a medium-grade immortal artifact for a high-grade one presented Zhao Tianlei with a remarkable opportunity. The acquisition of a high-grade immortal artifact would bolster his combat potential significantly. As the saying goes, you have to spend money to make money.

“Very well! We shall proceed with the wager!”

“In that case, Martial Uncle, we’ll offend you.”

“Let’s attack together!”

On the opposite side, Lin Ping and his comrades addressed Li Hao.

The next moment, the group ascended the fighting platform.

Boom boom boom boom boom… 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝓸𝒎

Their collective release of potent cultivation auras reverberated, causing ripples throughout the surrounding space.

“Joining forces is our only option if you wish to stand a chance,” Li Hao reiterated in a low, proud voice.

BOOM!

Upon hearing this, Lin Ping and the others launched their assault without hesitation.

Lin Ping wielded a spear, a low-grade immortal artifact, radiating a faint aura of penetrative power as he lunged toward Li Hao with the grace of a dragon.

This battle permitted the use of weaponry, and thus, Lin Ping’s employment of the spear was not in violation of any rules.

Ye Lang, too, brandished a longsword, also a low-grade immortal artifact. His Sword Heart gleamed brilliantly, and he had already attained the state of unity with the sword. Swinging his sword, he unleashed a razor-sharp sword aura upon Li Hao.

Simultaneously, the remaining six prodigies initiated their own assaults against Li Hao.

Han Liu enveloped his vicinity with the essence of water. Having mastered the True Intent of Water, he extended his hand to craft a formidable water-based palm technique that surged toward Li Hao.

Shui Ling’er and Yue Linglong also used powerful Dao techniques as they turned around and headed for Li Hao…

The scene was spectacular and shocking.

The few of them were all famous prodigies in the sect. Under their joint attack, countless people felt their hearts skip a beat..
