CHAPTER 711 A MASKED ELDER

What an invincible being. This man’s a monster!

Xu Wendong and Xu Shuai gulped in terror. They had expected Yin Jun to slay Chen Hao and the rest

with his unique skill. Instead, he was turned to a bloody pulp with a single punch!

Sh*t! This could be the end of the Xu Family!

Xu Wendong fell to his knees with a thud at once. Being an experienced veteran in the martial arts

world, of course he knew the consequences awaiting him and his son!

“Please spare our lives, sir!” he pleaded while dragging Xu Shuai to his knees. “Quick, Shuai! Kneel

down to him and plead for mercy!”

These people aren’t to be messed with!

“Very well.” Chen Hao gave them a thin smile.

“Thank you… Thank you for sparing our lives, sir!” said Xu Wendong with snot and tears all over his

face.

“Don’t get me wrong—I’m not sparing you. I have given you the chance but unfortunately, you have

decided to let it go. I have sworn that anyone who tries to kill me will receive retribution by having their

whole families killed. I’m bound to keep my word as a cultivator, so you and your family are going to die

as I promised!” said Chen Hao icily.

“What?” Xu Wendong instantly slumped to the ground, breaking out in a cold sweat. How he wished he

had never messed with this angel of death, out of all people!

What happened next was simple, for getting rid of these men was as easy as pie for Chen Hao.

He sealed the Celestial War God’s tomb with a formation back when he found his resting place as he

still had many unsolved questions at the time. Now that most of the mysteries were solved, he came a

huge step closer to discovering the secret behind the League of the Sun.

Moreover, the Stone of Fate was now in his hands. According to Ziyan, the Stone would have shown

him more clues if it weren’t for his Foundation being destroyed.

Nevertheless, now he must hurry to the Celestial War God’s tomb.

The Stone of Fate must have been trying to tell him something by repeatedly showing him the tomb

and the Chen Family.

Worrying that the tomb might be in danger, they hurried there, wasting no time.

“I found this place and sealed it back when Mo Canglong was trying to kill me in this sandy valley. Had

he not chased me into the Palace of Sands, I wouldn’t have found where the Celestial War God is,”

explained Chen Hao to his Uncle and the rest when they soon arrived at the tomb.

However, as they came near the cave, Chen Hao’s brows twitched; the cave which he had sealed with

a giant rock had been broken into, leaving a mess behind.

“Oh no!” His heart skipped a beat as he dashed into the cave immediately.

His Uncle exchanged looks with Luo Ziyan, who quickly leaped into the cave to Chen Hao’s side, her

feelings exceptionally complicated at the moment.

Chen Hao stood frozen while staring at the chaos inside the cave. The giant python that once lived for

more than ten thousand years was now nothing left but a long python corpse; its head was being

penetrated, which appeared to be the cause that killed it in one blow. As for the longevity coffin in the

cave, it was nowhere to be seen.

“The Celestial War God’s remains are stolen!”

Dignified as she was, Luo Ziyan’s eyes reddened with tears too.

She had waited for more than ten thousand years to reunite with the Celestial War God, yet now she

couldn’t even see him for one last time, despite having been through so many obstacles; it was all

because of the cruel thief.

It was indeed the last farewell because, according to Ziyan, the Celestial War God’s soul had vanished

completely over 20 years ago when Chen Hao was born, leaving behind only his remains.

But now, even his remains were gone.

“Who’s behind this? This place is well hidden, plus I’ve sealed this place with the formation from the

Dragon Blood Jade!” Chen Hao clenched his fists.

“I’ve checked from the outside. Your formation wasn't being destroyed by force. Instead, it was undone

effortlessly by someone who seems to know this place very well, since he killed the giant python easily

after he entered the cave,” said a grim-faced Chen Pingan as he reentered the cave and walked toward

Chen Hao, who was visibly upset.

Chen Hao could not forgive himself; the Celestial War God had indirectly saved his life, whereas Ziyan

had helped him a lot during his journey, yet he failed to reunite them as promised and he even lost the

Celestial War God’s remains instead!

Glistening teardrops trickled down Luo Ziyan’s face and fell onto the giant python’s dead body at her

feet, while Chen Hao stood silent next to her, blaming himself.

The teardrops fell onto the python’s body with a clear dripping sound.

Just then, something strange happened; the giant python’s dead body began radiating green rays of

light, which soon condensed into a glowing mass.

Luo Ziyan lifted her head in curiosity, followed by Chen Hao.

Buzz…

The green glowing mass started producing some strange sounds. Then, it actually spoke!

“You’re back!” Its voice sounded awkward and fuzzy, but one could still make out the words it was

saying.

“Are you the giant python?!” Chen Hao stared at the glowing mass in surprise. It looked very similar to

the soul of the Great Ancestor of the Gu Family, whom he saw at the Gu Family the other day.

“Yes, it’s me. Sorry for having to meet you in such a manner. I’ve been struggling to hold onto my soul Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

from dissipating after I died, until I managed to piece them together with the bit of spiritual power that

I’ve gotten just now,” replied the giant python sluggishly.

“What happened here? Don’t worry. Since you’re able to piece your soul together, I’ll hurry to find a

vessel that fits you and use my Heaven Abstruse Skills to help you reborn!” said Chen Hao.

He honestly pitied the giant python, who was made into a tomb guardian and was trapped for more

than ten thousand years ever since it was little.

Now that it had accomplished its mission, Chen Hao had planned to acquire a piece of virgin forest for

it to spend the rest of its life in freedom.

Although it was a beast, Chen Hao treated it as a respectable elder ever since it helped him in the tomb

the other day.

“It’s too late, Chen Hao. It’s been over 20 days since I forced my soul together and used up all my soul

energy while waiting for you. I’m now nothing left but a tiny fragment of my consciousness, which will

vanish completely from this world as soon as I finish my words.” The giant python let out a sigh of

despair; Chen Hao could clearly feel its desire and hopes for the outside world, as well as its sorrowful

emotions at the moment.

“No, you won’t! I’ll save you with all my means!” said Chen Hao hastily.

“I was slain by a masked elder, who stole the Celestial War God’s remains to get something from it.

Beware of him if you come across him, because he’s wicked and powerful, and he knows you very

well!” said the giant python weakly.

“A masked elder?”

Chen Hao exchanged glances immediately with Luo Ziyan…
