Chapter 862: Voidstone
Tang Hao’s expression changed drastically.
He thought that Elder Zhong only found out about him killing the East Peak Mountain disciples. He did not expect the elder to find out about his other identity as well.
How did that guy know?
More importantly, did anyone other than Elder Zhong know? If East Peak Mountain already knew, then he could only leave and never come back.
He did not show the shock on his face. Instead, he chuckled, “You’re such a joker, Elder Zhong. How could I possibly be Ballsy Bro?
“Wasn’t the identity of Ballsy Bro exposed long ago?”
Zhong Tai sneered and said, “Previously, I thought that Ballsy Bro was Liu Heihu, just like what other people thought.
“However, after some investigation, I found that many clues did not add up. For example, Liu Heihu was quite bold in the past, but his behavior was not on the same level as Ballsy Bro.
“Also, from my investigation, I found that there was a burglary in a place far away from Nanping Town that night, and it was suspected that Liu Heihu did the job. If it were really him, it would be impossible for him to be here and steal the qi core of the alpha tyrannosaur.
“That was one of the many suspicions I had. When I put everything together, I can conclude that Liu Heihu isn’t Ballsy Bro. He was set up.
“After figuring that out, I wondered who else could Ballsy Bro be.
“I listed many potential candidates. After investigating them one by one, you’re the only one left.
“Not only are you a genius in medicine making, but you also have a high cultivation base. That’s why you are bold enough to pull off so many stunts. Since the last time we met, I realized that you’re not as ordinary as you seem.
“I investigated you again. The more I investigated, the more suspicious you became. During the investigation, I also found some new leads in the Guan Sheng murder case, which led me to identify you as the murderer.
“What I didn’t understand was how you did it. That’s why I tested you earlier, and I didn’t expect that I’d find the answer so easily.”
Hearing that, Tang Hao was secretly shocked. He did not expect that old guy to be so smart.
“There’s no point in denying it. Both of us are smart people. You don’t have to lie!” Zhong Tai said coldly.
Tang Hao did not make a sound.
“Don’t worry. other than me, no one else knows.” Zhong Tai said again.
“Oh?”
Tang Hao raised his brows and revealed a surprised expression.
“Guan Sheng and those brats brought it upon themselves. I don’t really care about your grudge with East Peak Mountain. I’m only an elder, and I don’t get too much attention.”
When he heard that, Tang Hao somewhat understood.
“You want the things in the treasure vault?”
“That’s right! As expected of a smart person. I only want half!” Zhong Tai said.
“Half? Aren’t you asking a little too much?”
“Is that a lot? What do you think will happen if I expose you now?”
“A quarter!”
“That’s not enough!”
“A third!”
“Half! There’s no room for negotiation!”
Tang Hao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, “OK!” As he said that, he took out a bag of holding.
“It’s in there?” Zhong Tai was doubtful.
“Of course!”
“Well, throw it over. I’ll take a look first!”
Tang Hao nodded and tossed the bag, which drew an arc in the air and fell into Elder Zhong’s palm.
At the moment Elder Zhong grabbed the bag of holding, Tang Hao had his move.
With a wave of his hand, more than ten jade swords shot out.
“Hmph! I knew that you were going to do that, kid!” Zhong Tai grunted angrily and sent out several beams of white light, which fought fiercely with the jade swords.
He took the opportunity to steal a glance into the bag, and his expression instantly darkened. “Kid, I’ve given you a chance but you squandered it. If that’s the case, you can’t blame me for what’s going to happen to you!”
As he said that, his qi aura surged and he increased the ferocity of his attacks.
He was confident that he could defeat the kid. He could sense that the kid was in the latter period, but he was in the peak. He had the absolute advantage in terms of cultivation.
Moreover, no matter how talented the kid was, the kid would not have more battle experience than him.
However, his surprise grew as the fight continued. The kid’s defense was impenetrable. He couldn’t take him down.
“Not bad, kid!”
He grunted coldly, took out a mirror, and activated it.
Tang Hao waved his hand, and another wave of jade swords flew out, for a total of thirty-six swords. They were arranged into a formation and shot forward together.
“That… that Is…”
Zhong Tai was utterly shocked.
He fired a light beam and retreated hastily.
‘What sword formation is that? It’s so powerful!’
He had been careless. He had not expected this kid to be so strong!
He wanted to get away, but before he could do so, the violent sword qi tore through the light and rushed toward him.
He tried to block it, but he spat out blood and fell backward.
“How dare you, kid! Do you think that I didn’t come prepared? Once I die, your identity will be exposed,” he roared.
Tang Hao remained impassive as he continued to blast.
Zhong Tai continued to vomit blood before finally collapsing.
Tang Hao rushed forward and struck out with his palm, knocking him unconscious. Then, he carried him and ran into the valley.
In the valley, he opened the passage and arrived at the underground palace.
If that guy died over there, his life indicator would shatter, and East Peak Mountain would be suspicious. It would be better to bring him to Earth. That way, he could do whatever he wanted to that guy.
“Yo, kid, you’re back! Eh? Who’s that guy?”
Tian Xuanzi floated over.
“Do you have a way to check his memories?” Tang Hao asked.
“That’s easy!”
“Check and see if he told anyone else about my identity.”
Following that, Tang Hao explained the situation to him.
“Alright!”
Tian Xuanzi nodded and went into Elder Zhong’s head.
Tang Hao crouched down and searched through Elder Zhong’s belongings.
“Damn! He’s so poor!”
That guy only had several ten thousand crystals on him, and he did not have any special Artifacts. He was considered poor for an Elder.
“Eh? What’s this?”
Suddenly, Tang Hao’s eyes fell on a purple crystal that had an extraordinary aura. He looked at it carefully and saw that it was filled with glittering sand.
At first glance, it looked like a nebula.
After a while, Tian Xuanzi came out of Elder Zhong’s head and looked at Tang Hao with a strange expression.
“What?”
“You’re too bold! You want to steal something from a Golden Core freak? Do you have a death wish?”
“But I turned out fine, right?”
Tian Xuanzi glared at him and did not say anything else. “Don’t worry, he didn’t tell anyone.”
Tang Hao immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
“Do you know what’s is?” He picked up the crystal and showed it to Tian Xuanzi.
Tian Xuanzi took it and looked at it carefully. He frowned and said, “I’ve never seen it before, but it does seem familiar…
“What could it be?
“Let me think…”
After pondering for a long time, Tian Xuanzi said, “Right, this is a Voidstone!”
