Chapter 413

Feng Lu was full of smiles, leading the way as if a kind middle-aged person was receiving an honored guest.

And his guest was a small giant crystal-armored man who was over two meters taller than him.

He was extremely curious about what was inside the crystal armor, but he dared not show his curiosity at all.

In his eyes, this senior must be a powerful cultivator, how could he dare to observe? And how could he dare to ask about the actions of a powerful cultivator?

"If only I could also break through to the same level..." At this thought, Feng Lu clenched his fists, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes. The sect clearly obtained the Red Spring Refining Elixir, why... why didn't they give him any? He had been serving the sect for so many years, working hard, but when it came to benefits, they didn't even think about me...

Su Hao arrived in front of a cave entrance, discontentedly saying, "Why is your door only three meters high? Do you look down on me?"

Feng Lu's scalp felt like it was about to explode upon hearing this, and he quickly said, "Senior, it's a misunderstanding! I never imagined that there would be such a tall and majestic person in the world like you. It's my fault! Let me widen the door for you."

"No need!" Su Hao's golden armor surged under his feet, instantly corroding his cave and destroying the array structures inside, then widening the door.

Feng Lu obviously understood what had happened, a pained expression flashed across his face, but he couldn't say a word, still had to lead the way forward: "Senior, please come in!"

Soon Su Hao saw neatly stacked materials, smiled, and his golden armor covered all the materials, transferring them into his storage space, then the golden armor receded, creating the illusion that it had devoured all the materials.

This scene dumbfounded Feng Lu!

"This, this, this..." He stammered for a long time, unable to say a word.

Su Hao turned around and looked at him, "What's wrong, don't you like it?"

Feng Lu immediately shook his head and waved his hand, "No, no, no! Senior likes it, I am honored."

Su Hao walked out towards the door, saying as he walked, "Then let's leave it at that, perhaps we'll meet again someday!"

After speaking, Su Hao leaped into the air and flew into the distance, the "Forty-Eight Heavenly Oscillation Formation" surrounding him disappeared, and the light screen vanished.

It wasn't until Su Hao turned into a small dot that Feng Lu's tense spirit relaxed: "Phew~ Senior only seeks wealth, didn't intend to kill me! I was prepared to self-destruct..."

He looked at his empty cave, feeling a pang in his heart, and thought about his waist full of treasures, which were now gone, even his proud masterpiece, the short sword, was broken!

A century's accumulation gone in an instant!

"I must report this to the sect as soon as possible! After all, this is a loss I suffered for guarding the sect's stronghold. The sect must compensate me! It would be great if they could give me some Red Spring Refining Elixir!"

With that thought, he turned and left!

"Eek!!??" Feng Lu turned around and immediately saw a tall crystal-armored man behind him, he couldn't help but jump in fright, his whole body's hair standing on end.

"Sen... Senior, why have you returned?" And, when did this self-proclaimed Jia Wei, an Unity Realm cultivator, appear behind him? He didn't even realize, truly terrifying.

Su Hao did this intentionally, deliberately breaking the opponent's psychological defenses, letting them understand that as long as they behaved obediently, he wouldn't kill them, thus dispelling their thoughts of suicide.

If he comes straight out with his intentions, the other party will probably self-destruct!

Su Hao pretended to remember something and casually asked, "By the way, I heard that your Triple Phoenix Pavilion recently obtained some refining spirit liquid. If you don't mind, could you take me to see it?"

Feng Lu's face stiffened as he looked up at the imposing crystal-armored man in front of him, forcing out a smile and saying, "Senior, you must be joking. Where would we have refining spirit liquid? It's just rumors spread by others. They want to smear our Triple Phoenix Pavilion!"

Su Hao's tone suddenly turned cold, "Oh? Am I supposed to believe what you say? Are you trying to deceive me, or are you unwilling to take me there?"

Feng Lu cursed inwardly: How can I take him there when my life is at stake? If the sect leader finds out, I'm done for!

His face twisted in turmoil, his once valiant expression almost unrecognizable: "Senior, I truly don't know if the Triple Phoenix Pavilion has Red Spring Refining Elixir. I definitely don't have it. If we do, I would have given it to you earlier. As for not wanting to take you there, that's even more out of the question, because I truly don't know where it is!"

Su Hao said, "In that case, you should take me to someone in your sect who knows."

Feng Lu instinctively shook his head, "That's impossible. How could I betray my fellow sect members? If I take you there like this, I won't be able to stay in the sect anymore! Even if you kill me, I won't take you there!"

A green light flashed on the long knife in Su Hao's hand as he coldly said, "Then you can die!"

What does it mean to act without hesitation? This is it!

Feng Lu's eyes bulged as he quickly released a bunch of protective spells in front of him.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The shield shattered, and just as the blade was about to split him in half, Feng Lu's neck veins bulged, and he roared, "Senior, wait! I'll take you there!"

Then the crystal-made long knife stopped steadily in front of him.

Feng Lu was completely bewildered: "What did I just say? What am I supposed to do? Am I... betraying the sect?"

Su Hao sheathed the long knife and said lightly, "That's right, I like to speak and act straightforwardly. I can't stand beating around the bush or repeating myself. If it is, it is. If it isn't, it isn't. Why waste so many words? Besides, you just need to take me there, you don't need to show yourself. What are you worried about?"

Feng Lu's eyes lit up, "Senior, are you serious?"

Su Hao: "Hm?"

Feng Lu immediately realized and hurriedly said, "Yes, I understand. Actions should be straightforward, and words should be said only once. I'll learn from you, Senior."

Su Hao turned and walked out, "Let's go!"

Feng Lu: "I'll lead the way for you, Senior!"

Feng Lu thought to himself, "You were the one who started it, so don't blame me for being unjust! Besides, I won't get my hands on the Red Spring Refining Elixir anyway, so it's better to give it to Senior in exchange for my life. Moreover..."

Feng Lu glanced at the tall figure beside him, "Moreover, even if I don't take him, he will find out eventually! If I'm alive, I can continue to serve the sect."

And so, Su Hao's first guide was born!

The willpower of a Nascent Soul cultivator is indeed firm, as evidenced by the self-destruction of Yuan Ze and Feng Dan. But it doesn't mean that firm will cannot be undermined. As long as you find the weak points of human nature and target them, you can still achieve it!

Of course, there are those who are unyielding, and dealing with them is very simple, just one slash will do.

Just like earlier, if Feng Lu hadn't compromised, Su Hao was truly intending to slash him with one stroke, leave him for Yashan to preserve as a specimen, and then go find someone else!

Not everyone is unwilling to see reason, right? Even within the same species, different individuals inherently possess diversity to adapt to various environmental changes.

The ideal of "all humanity with unwavering and uncompromising will" does not exist. If faced with a hostile environment of "non-compliance equals death", wouldn't that lead to extinction?

Reality is that even when humans encounter an environment where "non-compliance equals death", many individuals still manage to survive in the end!

It's the same principle as "survival of the fittest". How can a powerful species resist various unknown disasters over long periods of time? Isn't it through "diversity"?

No matter what happens, there will always be individuals who can survive, right?

So, based on Su Hao's understanding of humanity, he harbors no doubt about whether he can find his target.

"As long as I possess unparalleled power and use the right methods, I can get whatever I want in human society!"

This is the truth Su Hao gradually realized through numerous experiences!

"Power" and "method" are both indispensable.

Fortunately, Su Hao not only possesses power but also has a basic grasp of how to wield it. Therefore, he will inevitably achieve success and everything will go smoothly.

"Senior, ahead is another stronghold of the Triple Phoenix Pavilion. There is an Elder of Nascent Soul Realm stationed there, named Yuan Shan. He is an absolute confidant of the sect leader and will surely know the whereabouts of the Red Spring Refining Elixir. However, this person has a somewhat irritable temper..."

While Feng Lu outwardly considers Su Hao's welfare, inwardly he thinks: "Elder Yuan Shan, we have old grievances. This time, bringing Senior here, I can't be blamed. Blame yourself for humiliating me in the past..."

At such times, seeking revenge under the guise of circumstances is quite reasonable!

Su Hao interrupted, "No need to worry, just wait here for a moment."

With that, Su Hao suddenly disappeared on the spot.

Feng Lu's pupils contracted sharply. Every time he saw Su Hao come and go freely, he was greatly shocked: "Could it be that this is the legendary ability to shrink space? Who exactly is Senior Jia Wei!"

So now the question arises: "Should I escape, or should I not?"
