“He is that wild child; it’s surprising he’s ended up like this after all these years wandering and learning from anyone he could.”
“God, the cruel child of the Void Realm, his name is Shi Hao, from the Martial King’s Mansion. It’s truly unexpected to have such a tragic past.”
The imperial capital was in turmoil, an uproar everywhere. People were stunned; the news was like a meteor crashing into the ocean, stirring up a tremendous wave.
“What are you talking about? Do you want to insult the Martial King’s Mansion?” Shi Zhonghe shouted, unable to accept it. If this were confirmed, it would be a huge scandal.
His voice was loud and reverberated through the sky, heard from all directions. The matter from years ago involved too many aspects, which had been treated as taboo and sealed away. Now that it was exposed, the damage was immense.
“Since it’s already done, do you even have the courage to admit it? I despise you deeply,” Shi Hao taunted.
“Young man, don’t speak so recklessly. Regardless of whether you are the grandson of Old Fifteen or not, you shouldn’t speak with such a lack of conscience.”
Another person spoke, their eyes flashing, sensing that the situation was getting worse.
This matter was so shocking; who is telling the truth?
At this moment, not only the people on the main streets but even some in seclusion within the noble mansions were disturbed because the news was too horrifying.
The title of ‘Born Supreme’ was incredibly startling. When linked with ancient records, people couldn’t help but tremble.
If true, how favored the heavens must have been towards the Martial King’s Mansion, not only having one with the twin pupils but also a Born Supreme. It was a shock to the heart.
The entire imperial capital was in a noisy uproar, no longer peaceful. A young man breaking years of silence with such a secret was like a comet striking the earth, causing a massive upheaval.
“Shameless,” Shi Hao said lightly to them, but it was like a slap to their faces, making their expressions turn pale and flushed.
Can this be covered up? Shi Hao sneered, hoping they would say more, so the truth could be fully exposed and the outside world could see clearly.
Shi Ziting sighed, immensely frustrated and losing his composure. He hadn’t anticipated being so passive today; just a casual remark from this nephew created such a storm.
Could it be concealed? He asked himself. Clearly not. Not to mention the outside world, within the Martial King’s Mansion alone there were two major factions. Once those people stood in front of Shi Hao and spoke up, nothing could be hidden.
Falling into this situation now was practically unsolvable. Shi Ziting’s gaze was cold; they were trapped in a quagmire today, with no way to “clear things up.”
“Continue speaking, reveal how I have slandered you all,” Shi Hao said calmly, watching them with a composed demeanor.
At this point, Shi Zhonghe and the others were also filled with anxiety. They could not cover it up; the matter could not be concealed. What else could they do? They sighed in their hearts, having rushed to defend themselves, only to fall into a disadvantage.
The situation was extremely unfavorable to them. Anything they said was wrong, and not speaking was equivalent to admitting guilt. It felt like being roasted over a fire, stifling and uncomfortable.
“You’re young, yet you’re so ruthless,” a middle-aged man sighed, though he spoke in a low voice, not reaching the outside world.
“It seems you feel no remorse at all. You haven’t cared about the past events and now blame me. This is truly high-minded,” Shi Hao mocked.
“We are all from the Martial King’s Mansion, and you are also a descendant of the Shi clan. Even if our people wronged you, it shouldn’t be to the extent of driving us to extinction. With things being this way today, how will our clan stand in the imperial capital?” an elder spoke.
“Yier, we were wrong back then, but what happened has happened. Discussing the past won’t solve the problem. Now we should work together to make our lineage flourish,” a middle-aged man also spoke, standing beside Shi Ziting, offering such words.
These words were only heard within the mansion; they dared not speak loudly.
Now, there was no way but to stabilize Shi Hao, to prevent him from dwelling on the past and possibly salvage some face for the Martial King’s Mansion in the imperial capital.
“Weren’t you just aggressive, denying everything and accusing me of speaking with a lack of conscience, insulting the Martial King’s Mansion? How come you’ve changed your stance so quickly?” Shi Hao asked.
“This…” A group of people was both shocked and angry, their faces turning red. This slap to the face made them feel incredibly uncomfortable, with their hearts burning.
At this moment, an elder approached, white-haired and unsteady on his feet. It was Shi Yuan, who had been incapacitated by the Great Demon God. He stared at Shi Hao, his heart full of complex emotions.
The child from back then had survived. It was truly a miracle.
He sighed softly and said, “Your aunt has been executed. The past events are irreparable, but Hao’er, you are still the pride of our clan. Upon your return, you can inherit the Martial King’s title.”
“I was not in the clan back then, but I was very angry when I learned of it,” Shi Ziting finally spoke, breaking his silence. “The events of those days were heartbreaking, but some people have finally been punished. Child, the clan owes you an apology, but do not hold a grudge. Everything is for the strength of the Martial King’s Mansion.”
He spoke firmly, his voice not loud but sufficient to reach every street and alley. This was astonishing.
How Shi Yi’s mother died back then had always been a mystery, with many versions. Now Shi Ziting spoke, revealing that she was executed. Was this justice over kin? It was shocking.
“Hao’er, some people in the clan were extreme in their actions and words, but they only wanted to see our clan prosper and meant no major malice. We don’t ask for your forgiveness, but we hope you hold no deep grudge. Return to the clan,” Shi Ziting said earnestly.
Shi Hao was surprised. This uncle truly had the qualities of a hero. He had never acted out of line, and when he spoke, it seemed to be with the family’s overall interests in mind.
“My aunt dug out my Supreme Bone. Initially, she wasn’t punished within the clan; it was only after my father returned that she was killed. Why was my father expelled back then? The Rain Clan was involved, secretly pursuing us to the Western Frontier. And why was my grandfather blocked from inquiring about the past events and had to fight a major battle?” Shi Hao spoke softly, yet it reached the outside world.
This caused an uproar. Shi Ziting’s faction admitted the past, and this child exposed many secrets.
“No wonder he wanted to tear down the Rain King’s Mansion. There were so many hidden details.”
The outside world was truly chaotic. The scandal exposed in the Martial King’s Mansion was shocking. A child with a Born Supreme Bone had lost his sacred bone, which was rather tragic.
But people soon realized that the focus of this event was the wild child, the ruthless young man, who was now also a young supreme.
He had opened the Ten Great Caves and swept across the Void Realm, demonstrating a dominant stance with no rivals in his realm.
“Heavens, we almost overlooked it. After losing the Supreme Bone, he not only survived but has become so formidable. It’s too astonishing.”
“If he hadn’t lost that bone, how powerful would he be?”
When this question arose, everyone was unsettled, shocked, and found it incredible.
At the same time, many people lamented how this young man, who was originally on the brink of death, had grown and achieved this level.
“Hao’er, why have you come to the mansion?” Shi Yuan couldn’t help but ask.
As both sides exposed more and more, the problem couldn’t be solved and instead made the outside world stir, revealing the truth of the past.
“I’ve come here to proclaim to the world that I’m still alive. I hope my father and grandfather receive this news and no longer worry.”
“Father, Mother, where are you? I’m still living in this world.”
“Grandfather, don’t be disheartened. Your Hao’er is not dead. Even without that bone, I can still traverse the world.”
Shi Hao roared, announcing to the world, hoping this shocking event would spread far and wide, informing his parents and grandfather that he was alive and well, a young supreme.
No matter what, no matter how people will judge him in the future, today, the name Shi Hao was destined to be the center of attention, the protagonist in the imperial capital.
By now, people finally understood the background of the cruel child and knew his origins. He was a young man who had risen after losing his Supreme Bone, which was truly shocking.
“Hao’er, what exactly do you want?” Eventually, Shi Ziting laid it all out. The calm and serene expression on his face vanished, replaced by a hint of coldness.
He harbored a killing intent, though it was well restrained. He had nearly made a move in the Qinglin Garden for the Demon Spider, and now facing this situation, he was almost unable to contain himself.
However, he still refrained from revealing his anger in public.
Shi Hao smiled and said, “Uncle, may I ask for a sparring match?”
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Martial King’s Mansion changed their expressions. A sparring match was essentially a call for a confrontation or a challenge.
“Hao’er, we are family. How can we come to blows?” Shi Ziting said calmly, his face showing no emotion.
However, when he saw Shi Hao’s half-smiling, half-serious expression, his heart tightened. This young man had seen through his thoughts.
“Uncle, let’s have a fight. Life and death are fated. Fulfill your wish,” Shi Hao said.
“This child…” Shi Ziting shook his head, appearing to sigh.
“Hao’er, you’ve gone too far. Regardless, he is still your uncle. If you feel wronged, you can discuss it with us, but attacking like this is inappropriate,” Shi Zhonghe spoke up.
“If you want me to discuss reason, then fine. All of you should be punished according to clan rules. Do you agree?” Shi Hao said without mercy, his voice loud and reprimanding.
Shi Zhonghe’s face darkened immediately. “Since that’s the case, I’ll accompany you for a fight first.”
He did not let Shi Ziting make the first move, having heard that this young man was quite extraordinary. He wanted to assess the situation himself first.
However, when he saw Shi Hao’s body flicker with dark light and merge with the Indestructible Golden Body, he immediately sensed trouble and ordered, “Activate the grand formation.”
“I’d like to see who dares,” the old allies of the Great Demon God spoke, their gazes cold as they swept over the others.
Shi Zhonghe sighed, no longer speaking. He waved his hand to summon a formation, made of beast bones, which densely covered the space and surrounded Shi Hao.
Shi Hao’s sleeve waved, and a stone box appeared, clanging as it opened. In an instant, eight flying swords, each only palm-sized and translucent with different colors, shot out and slashed forward.
“Eight Fiends Sword Array.” People gasped.
The sword energy surged, swiftly slicing the beast bones into powder, breaking through the opponent’s grand formation, and shattering all the talisman bones.
Shi Zhonghe took another action, deploying other treasures to attack Shi Hao, initiating a fierce battle.
Unfortunately, this was no ordinary young man. Unified with the Indestructible Golden Body, Shi Hao was like a noble. He summoned the Sky-Splitting Bowl, which emitted auspicious light and quickly trapped Shi Zhonghe inside.
“Should I feed you to the spiders or kill you?”
The small bowl appeared in Shi Hao’s hand, and Shi Zhonghe screamed inside it. Rays of light appeared at the bowl’s opening, swirling around.
“Don’t!” Shi Zhonghe, fearful, did not wish to die.
“Then I’ll spare your life. Watch quietly as the one who took your Supreme Bone battles the divine beings in your heart,” Shi Hao said.
The bowl’s opening shimmered with divine light as several divine rays struck Shi Zhonghe, causing his aura to dissipate, his abdomen’s runes to fade, and his cultivation to be destroyed.
The small bowl turned and threw him out, causing him to fall to the ground.
Just like that, an elder from the Shi clan was dealt with.
“Uncle, let’s have a fight,” Shi Hao said.
“If that’s the case, then I’ll spar with you and see just how strong you, this young supreme, are compared to your brother,” Shi Ziting said, stepping forward.
