Perfect World

Chapter 1548 - Best Situation

No one would have expected the black war chariot’s Emperor Clan supreme being to have such a high evaluation towards Shi Hao, indirectly promising like this.

He could become a King Clan on his own, even surpass this, not having to bow down when meeting Emperor Clans, on equal footing, just how great of a status was this?

One had to know that in history, only the Gu Clan and the Fallen Blood Phoenix who had heaven-defying strength, powerful existences who could change the battle situation would be treated with such great respect.

“Shi brat, why aren’t you saying anything?” The Lunar Jade Rabbit asked. She was indignant, bitterly disappointed for Shi Hao’s sake.

The Heavenly Horned Ant, if not for having a great grudge against the other side, having the grudge of his father and siblings’ deaths, he really would advise Shi Hao to just say screw it and go to the other side. It was because Jin Taijun’s words really made one seethe with anger, feel absolutely indignant.

Shi Hao established such great contributions, yet as soon as he came back, he was going to be handed over as a bargaining chip, just how tragic of a thing was this?

Almost anyone else would be opposed to this. This was being coerced, more than one could bear.

There were many people who had previously spoken up to protect Shi Hao. It was not only the youngsters, there were also older generation figures who had always fought with the other side.

This was especially true for the great cultivators who had bathed in blood and flames, fought hundreds of battles, they even more so felt anger for Shi Hao, expressing the unfairness. They hated the foreign creatures, fighting year-round against them, all of them unyielding.

Only, Jin Taijun was too strong. She was a supreme being, moreover found a path of peace for Imperial Pass, this made many people feel a bit helpless.

“You have a clear conscience, what needs to be done has already been done. Just make your decision on your own!” Qing Yi said. She looked extremely beautiful, white clothes purer than snow, face delicate, exquisite and elegant, but right now, her words were’t soft, not gentle like usual.

These words left many people shaken, especially those great cultivator, for example, the middle-aged expert who was seated on the Heaven Swallowing Beast, the great cultivator who sat on a giant Silver Hou, as well as some of the great leaders of different clans. They all looked over, in the end, quite a few of them nodded.

From a certain meaning, this was a type of human nature and popular will.

The powerful great cultivators, those who were normally pro-war, always fighting a cruel battle with the other side, were all partial towards Shi Hao, expressing the unfairness for him.

Just imagine, to have brought back such extraordinary contribution, yet in the end, he suffered such unfair treatment, how could it not make the hearts of everyone go cold?

Of course, there were some who had different attitudes, for example, extremely nervous, and extremely dissatisfied as they stared at Shi Hao. These were the clans who previously hoped to end the blood war a bit earlier, exchange for a period of peace.

Imperial Pass’ numbers were too great, the clans too many, there were naturally creatures of all different types. There were those who supported Shi Hao, and those who opposed him as well.

This was especially the case where there were some families who never got along with him, even standing against him, for example, Wang Family, Jin Family, and their followers, naturally wishing to just throw Shi Hao to the other side sooner.

“Jin Taijun is of noble character and unquestionable integrity, worthy of being a virtuous great sovereign. We feel endless admiration and respect towards you. For the sake of protecting Imperial Pass, for the sake of protecting the various clans, you didn’t hesitate to do this. Even if it brings a bit of criticism, you still didn’t hesitate, worthy of being a supreme being.”

Du Family’s people spoke out. They weren’t a long life family, but they could definitely be considered a top level influential family of the Nine Heavens above, second only to the limited long life families.

“Indeed, Jin Taijun is virtuous and of good moral standing. She has previously stated that if it was her own descendants the other side asked for, even if it was the most dazzling direct inheritor like Jin Zhan, she still wouldn’t hesitate to send him out. This is the attitude and consideration of the most powerful!” Someone else praised, a great commander from the Pixiu Clan.

A few people spoke out one after the other. After a few people supported Shi Hao, now, more people upheld Jin Taijun.

“Brother Jin Zhan is quite excellent too, when asked just now, even if he knew he was going to die, he still didn’t hesitate to agree, what kind of boldness is this? He is worthy of being a heaven warping figure of the younger generation!” Another person said like this.

Of course, this was a Jin Family follower, because others really couldn’t say this out loud. It was because Jin Zhan’s situation was just a front, not truly having to make a life and death choice.

Then, these people didn’t forget to give Shi Hao a look, intentionally reminding him, having him express his opinion. It was because many people were watching.

“Shut your goddamn mouth!” The Heavenly Horned Ant flipped out. He really was angered badly, screaming coldly at Jin Family, “Since you all are of noble character and unquestionable integrity, if Shi Hao leaves the pass in a bit, then Jin Zhan should just follow him! Real action is far greater than this kind of fake boasting!”

A group of people looked over, the faces of Jin Family’s people naturally ugly.

“Brother Shi, no matter what kind of decision you make, I will support you!” Cao Yusheng said seriously, declaring his position here.

At this point, the young and vigorous younger generation were all furious, a bit unwilling. If they really were to hand Huang over, then how humiliating of a thing is this?

Not only were they furious, even Imperial Pass itself was going to be shamed. In the eyes of the pro-war faction, peace was never compromised, but rather obtained through fighting.

This type of wronging was even worse than giving up one’s territory in return for scriptures, was there that much of a difference?

“Dao friend Jin, doing things like this isn’t too good.” Another unmatched being spoke up, expressing his objection.

Jin Taijun gave everyone a look, and then looked towards Shi Hao, saying, “Little friend, you have remained silent this whole time, not saying anything. I wish to hear your opinion.”

Everyone looked over, staring at Shi Hao.

“You are simply mocking and forcing others!” The Lunar Jade Rabbit said.

Many people nodded inwardly, because previously, Jin Taijun said that if it was Jin Zhan who was chosen, she wouldn’t hesitate to send him out of the city, now, she asked Shi Hao like this, what was the intention? This was clearly forcing him into agreeing!

“Huang, what about it? Just come to my side? We will treat you with the courtesy you deserve!” Outside, someone roared with laughter.

“You all are trying to drive a wedge between us!” On the city wall, someone released a loud shout, feeling like the other side’s creatures harbored unfathomable motives. They were purposely ruining the relationship between some clans in Imperial Pass.

Shi Hao retracted his gaze from the horizon. His thoughts returned, his somewhat lonesome figure stood up perfectly straight, fully recollecting himself. The light in his eyes was like lightning.

He spoke up and said, “I never expected that after fighting a great life and death battle with the other side, as soon as I return to Imperial Pass, I would have to meet them again.”

“This type of result is a bit outside of my expectations, in Imperial Pass, I became a bargaining chip, while if I leave the pass, I might very well become a guest, perhaps even establish a clan of my own with extraordinary status.” Shi Hao said in self-mockery.

These words made many people feel their faces become red hot. What Huang said was the truth, but this was clearly a great type of ridicule.

This was a matchless youngster with tremendous contributions, yet when he returned to Imperial Pass, he didn’t obtain the treatment he deserved when he returned, it was instead the enemy who admired him. This really was a type of irony.

“Battles in Desolate Border are always cruel and ruthless, who knows how many of the ancient people have died from the past to now. If one wishes for peace, there is always a price that needs to be paid. Youngster, you are quite excellent, the people of later generations will remember you.” Jin Taijun spoke.

Was this passing judgment on him, already deciding to have him leave the pass? Everyone’s bodies trembled.

“I want to ask senior, is what Jin Taijun said true? If enough time is bought, can powerful reinforcements really be obtained, thus ensuring the safety of Imperial Pass?” Shi Hao asked an unmatched being.

That unmatched being frowned. He looked towards JIn Taijun, wishing for her to give a clear reply.

“There is proof, didn’t I tell you all? It is trustworthy!” Jin Taijun looked towards those unmatched beings, and then looked towards Shi Hao, saying, “You still haven’t reached this level, there are some things that aren’t easy to explain to you.”

“Is that so?” Shi Hao said with a sigh. “If this really can change the situation, I will leave the pass alone, meet my death in the foreign side, it won’t be a pity. This can be done!”

Then, his eyes flourished with radiance, saying, “I just fear that this is a death in vain, one that brings extremely terrible consequences.”

“Huang, are you scared?” An old woman next to Jin Taijun berated.

“Shut your fucking mouth! When I was fighting a bloody battle in Desolate Border, you were still living like a princess inside the city! If I was scared, would I have fought with no thought of personal safety to bring back the wooden chest?” Shi Hao’s voice was cold, glaring coldly at her.

The old woman’s cultivation realm was extremely high, strength exceptionally powerful, but when she was glared at by Shi Hao, a chill ran through her body, she felt a strong urge to back up.

Even she herself was shocked. Why was she so scared of a youngster’s gaze? Was this the so-called righteousness reigned supreme, might rushing into the heavens, all sides would be in awe?

“Old woman, shut your damn mouth! If you dare speak anymore nonsense, we will feed you to fucking pigs!” The Heavenly Horned Ant screamed out. The others also spoke up.

The old woman wanted to stare out, intimidate them, but she felt a bit lacking in confidence.

Moreover, right at this time, an unmatched being looked over with a cold expression, his eyes deep and chilly. “If you dare speak randomly again, I will immediately kill you, no matter whose servant you are!”

Jin Taijun moved her hand, having the people at her side all close their mouths. They didn’t dare speak any more.

“Does this mean that you are willing to leave the pass?” Jin Taijun looked towards Shi Hao, asking.

“If I leave the pass, giving up my life, but by doing this, I can exchange for all of Imperial Pass’ peace, the ultimate situation can be revised, then I’ll pursue justice without any second thoughts.” When Shi Hao spoke up to here, he paused for a moment, and then continued, “However, if after five hundred years, no one comes to provide aid, when that day comes, how terrifying will the situation be, at the same time, how cold will the hearts of the masses be? At that time, I fear that Imperial Pass will be discredited, a great disaster falling onto this place.”

Shi Hao spoke this possibility with as calm of a tone as he could.

“You can relax. That type of thing won’t happy, the creatures of that side will definitely appear!” Jin Taijun’s eyes were deep, calmly speaking like this.

“Then fine, I will leave the pass.” Shi Hao nodded.

At this time, Du Family’s people spoke up, praising Shi Hao, saying that he was righteous, that this was a great contribution.

There were people from the Pixiu Clan who also nodded, expressing that Shi Hao was an upstanding person.

There were a few other families whose faces all carried smiles, looking like they were sending off Shi Hao. To exchange for peace with the sacrificee of a single person, this seemed quite worth it in their eyes.

Shi Hao remained silent, because these peoples’ smiles were too fake, making him feel nauseous. There were some people who didn’t even hold back, clearly no kindness involved.

For example, Jin Family’s people and their followers, all of them withholding hostility.

Shi Hao said softly to himself, “I finally understand why there are some restricted regions in the Nine Heavens above who don’t come out of the restricted region. If I don’t die after heading to the other side, what kind of identity will I return with when I come back?”

“You... what are you trying to say?” A follower from Jin Family asked.

“I was thinking, if I don’t die after leaving today, when I step foot in the Nine Heavens again, I wonder what kind of attitude I would have when I face this place?” Shi Hao was a bit lonesome, his eyes deep. “I recalled Desolate Border’s Seven Kings, truly lamentable.”

He released a light sigh, and then said, “If I return again, the best situation perhaps might only be to form a restricted region of my own, protect those I should protect!”
