Chapter 719 The Cultivator City Within the Ancient Immortal Ruins!

Everyone was stunned when they saw Shi Hao.

No one expected that Shi Hao would be so meticulous in his work.

They all thought the battle was over.

Unexpectedly, Shi Hao wanted to erase everything left behind by that strange creature before he would stop.

"Brother Shi Hao, aren't you being a bit too cautious?"

Lin Dong walked over and couldn't help but say.

"Better safe than sorry. That thing is formed by the rules, who knows if it will rise from the ashes? If we're going to kill it, we should kill it cleanly and leave no future trouble."

Shi Hao sheathed his broken sword and replied as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Han Li nodded affirmatively: "Brother Shi Hao is right. Having traveled the cultivation world for many years, I know the principle that if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze. Those enemies who seem to be dead will often give you a fatal blow when you are most relaxed. It is truly rare that Brother Shi Hao can think of this."

Lin Dong glanced at Shi Hao, then at Han Li, and his lips twitched slightly: "Third Brother, are you two... starting to appreciate each other?"

Han Li smiled faintly: "I was merely stating the facts..."

At this moment, Luo Feng also walked over. He looked at Shi Hao and asked, "Shi Hao, what exactly was that strange creature? Why did it look exactly like you? And why was its strength comparable to yours?"

Shi Hao shrugged and said, "It's nothing, as long as I can overcome myself."

"Conquer yourself?"

Lin Dong was taken aback: "It's that simple?"

Shi Hao nodded: "Yes, it's that simple."

Qingyi said thoughtfully, "Shi Hao is right. That creature is his shadow, a reflection of himself. He defeated his shadow, which is to defeat himself. And for each of us, our greatest enemy is often not others, but ourselves."

Feng Wu nodded in agreement: "The inner demons are the most troublesome on the path of cultivation. Shi Hao's ability to overcome his own shadow shows that his Dao heart is already firm enough..."

Shi Hao smiled but didn't say anything more.

At this moment, the Taiyin Jade Rabbit also hopped and skipped over.

"Shi Hao, you were amazing just now! That villain looked exactly like you, I thought you had lost, but you killed him with a single sword strike!"

Cao Yusheng followed behind the Taiyin Jade Rabbit and patted its head: "Little rabbit, weren't you just hiding behind me in fear? How did you see Shi Hao kill that strange creature with one sword?"

The Moon Jade Rabbit blushed and glared at him: "Nonsense, I was... I was shielding you from the wind!"

Cao Yusheng laughed heartily, but didn't expose him.

The atmosphere at the scene immediately lightened considerably thanks to the lively interaction between the Lunar Jade Rabbit and Cao Yusheng.

Just as Shi Hao was about to say something, he suddenly frowned and took out a jade slip from his bosom.

This jade slip was given to him by Lan Yichen before he left; it is a treasure specifically used to transmit messages.

Even if the two are hundreds of thousands of miles apart, they can still use this jade slip to send messages back.

"It's Lan Yichen."

Shi Hao probed the jade slip with his divine sense, and after a moment he raised his head, a strange light flashing in his eyes: "He said he found a precious medicine in a place called Bright City, and told us to hurry over there."

“Bright City?” Qingyi frowned slightly. “I feel like I’ve heard this name somewhere before.”

Feng Wu continued, "It is said that Bright City is an ancient city within the Immortal Ancient Ruins. Every time the Fairy Maiden's Secret Realm opens, cultivators go there. It is a large stronghold city..."

Luo Feng pondered, "Although Lan Yichen handed over the soul blood, people's hearts are unpredictable. Could he be deliberately leading us into a trap?"

Han Li wholeheartedly agreed with Luo Feng's point of view and nodded in agreement, saying, "Sixth Brother is right. This person tried to steal our precious medicine before. Although we were forced to submit, we may not be truly convinced. What if he sets up an ambush in Bright City? Wouldn't we be walking into a trap?"

Shi Hao said, "Lan Yichen's soul blood is in your hands, so he wouldn't dare to act recklessly. Moreover, if he really wanted to harm us, he wouldn't use such a despicable method. Bright City is so big, he could easily lead us to other dangerous places. I think it's most likely true that he found the precious medicine."

“However, your concerns are not unfounded. It’s always good to be cautious in these matters. So I think we should go to Guangming Village first, but once we get there, we shouldn’t go into the city yet. We should observe the situation outside first. If there are no problems, then we can go in.”

Han Li immediately agreed, saying, "I agree with this idea. Let's confirm our safety first before heading to Bright City."

Luo Feng nodded: "Then it's settled."

Lin Dong couldn't wait any longer and urged, "Now that it's decided, what are we waiting for? Let's go..."

"Okay, let me first confirm the location of Bright Village..."

Shi Hao checked the details in the message from Lan Yichen, then pointed southeast: "Bright City is over there, about two days' journey from us. Everyone, speed up and try to get there as soon as possible."

Everyone nodded, and then transformed into streaks of light, flying towards the southeast.

With Lan Yichen's guiding jade slip, Shi Hao and his group arrived at the City of Light without any problems.

Lan Yichen was already waiting outside the city.

When he saw Shi Hao and his entourage arrive in the city, he quickly went out to greet them.

"Where is the precious medicine?"

Shi Hao didn't stand on ceremony with Lan Yichen and went straight to the point after meeting him, asking him about the precious medicine.

Lan Yichen said softly, "This Bright City is a stronghold owned by ancient freaks and the descendants of various races. The various races also made an agreement here that they would not fight fiercely in the city. Therefore, every time the Immortal Ancient City opens, Bright Village will be crowded with people. Today, it has long since become a market for cultivators to trade..."

Han Li's eyes lit up when he heard that the city had many markets: "If this is a market for cultivators, then I'd really like to take a stroll through the city..."

Luo Feng chimed in, "I haven't gone shopping in ages, Third Brother, how about we go together?"

Everyone's opinion was the same.

Qingyi, Qian Renxue, and the others also wanted to check out the stalls in the city.

Shi Hao waved his hand generously: "You guys go ahead and explore, I'm going to take care of the precious medicine... I'll let you know in the group chat when it's all done..."

Han Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Shi Hao, now that you have this precious medicine, please don't eat it indiscriminately. Save some for alchemy..."

Shi Hao knew what Han Li was worried about, and he scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, saying, "That was an accident just now. I won't mess with those precious medicines again this time..."

All those precious herbs were painstakingly picked by everyone, but he ended up eating them all by himself, so he always felt very guilty towards everyone.

Upon hearing Han Li's words, Shi Hao felt utterly ashamed.
