"Xiao Shi, your gaze is a bit hurtful!" the Purple Gold Rat pointed out. Shi Hao shrugged his shoulders, "Is it?" "Yes," the Purple Gold Rat said with certainty. Shi Hao laughed, "Alright, alright, as long as we can screw Zhu Ke over." The Purple Gold Rat began calculating, "Hope this guy has brought plenty of treasures, otherwise, I’ll be taking a loss this time!" Setting up a formation that only explodes once is somewhat simpler and requires fewer materials, but it’s still nearly at the Bright Jade level, so it can’t be truly cheap. "Time to find the main target," Shi Hao said with a smile. The Purple Gold Rat was also eager, curious about how Shi Hao would trick Zhu Ke. Shi Hao first disguised himself as another person while mimicking the aura of a Golden Immortal. "I am now Gongsun Wu," he announced. This was a disciple of cultivation from another Jade Immortal-level Great Sect, one of Zhu Ke’s few friends, and since Gongsun Wu was quite a famous person, it wasn’t difficult to obtain his memory images, giving Shi Hao room to operate. He looked in the mirror, appearing very satisfied. "Let’s go," Shi Hao said. "Be careful not to get exposed; screwing someone over shouldn’t involve killing yourself first," the Purple Gold Rat waved its paw. "Haha, I won’t die that easily," Shi Hao said with a laugh. He arrived at the entrance of the Daming Sect’s mountain gate, where he was immediately stopped by someone. "Oh, it’s Lord Gongsun!" After seeing Shi Hao’s appearance, the two guards showed respect and awe. They, of course, recognized Gongsun Wu, a disciple of a majestic Jade Immortal power, possessing a very noble identity. Shi Hao nodded arrogantly, "I have urgent business to discuss with Zhu Ke, quickly inform him." "Yes." The two guards dared not delay and rushed to report. Due to the sudden rise of the Nine Clouds Sect, a war could break out at any moment, thus a master like Zhu Ke couldn’t leave, needing to be ready at all times. So, Zhu Ke soon came out. "Brother Gongsun!" he laughed, full of enthusiasm. Shi Hao nodded, "Brother Zhu, I have something important to tell you." "Alright, follow me." Zhu Ke didn’t put on any airs, as both were disciples of cultivation from the Jade Immortal-level sects. When they reached Zhu Ke’s courtyard, Zhu Ke dismissed the maids and servants before smiling at Shi Hao, "Now, Brother Gongsun can speak freely." "I have discovered a Secret Treasure," Shi Hao said directly, "However, I can’t take it alone and need your help." "What kind of Secret Treasure?" Zhu Ke queried instead of immediately agreeing. Shi Hao smiled, "A Golden Immortal Treasury, according to my estimation, there’s at least one Golden Level Immortal Elixir inside." Zhu Ke instantly showed an expression of interest, as a Golden Level Immortal Elixir is absolutely priceless. Moreover, that’s just one of the gains, there are others too. "Is it far?" he asked again. He couldn’t leave too far since the sect might summon him at any moment to start the war against the Nine Clouds Sect. He couldn’t let others sleep soundly beside his bed, right? So, if it was too far, he could only abandon it, or persuade Gongsun Wu to reschedule. Shi Hao gave a faint smile, "Coincidentally, this Immortal Treasury is still under the jurisdiction of the Daming Sect!" This immediately made Zhu Ke interested. But he was also puzzled, "Under the jurisdiction of the Daming Sect, there’s actually such an Immortal Treasury?" Logically speaking, even if there were one, the discoverer should be someone from the Daming Sect, not an outsider like Gongsun Wu. He considered himself wise, so he naturally had doubts. Shi Hao smiled, "It was coincidental; I originally planned to take Brother Zhu to another ancient relic, but happened to discover this Immortal Treasury. So, are you coming or not, just say the word." Seeing Shi Hao so straightforward, Zhu Ke had no suspicions and laughed heartily, "Such a good thing, since Brother Gongsun has told me about it, how could I not go?" The two set off for the "Secret Treasure" location. Shi Hao deliberately used the excuse of conserving energy to suggest a slower pace, naturally not exposing that he was only a Copper Armored Immortal. Zhu Ke had no doubts because Shi Hao made sense, and wasn’t Shi Hao unable to handle it alone and thus sought his help? A day later, they arrived at the location. It was a mountain, and Shi Hao skillfully led Zhu Ke deeper inside; soon, they entered a canyon. Then, they found a cave there. "The entrance to the Immortal Treasury is at the bottom of the cave," Shi Hao said. Zhu Ke had been carefully inspecting along the way. The cave had existed for a long time, but its entrance was previously filled and only recently opened. This aligned with Shi Hao’s story of inadvertently discovering this Immortal Treasury. —— Even though Gongsun Wu was his friend, he was still cautious and would not let his guard down. He followed closely behind Shi Hao, in case there were any traps or restrictions; Shi Hao would be the first to be affected. In short, he wanted the Immortal Treasury, but if there were dangers, Gongsun Wu should take them head-on. Shi Hao sneered in his heart, opening the Little Star Universe to communicate with the Purple Gold Rat. "When I count to three, you activate the formation." "Xiao Shi, are you sure you can escape?" the Purple Gold Rat asked, "Don’t end up losing your life too." "Relax, it’s just killing a Golden Immortal; it’s not worth the risk for me," Shi Hao said calmly. "Alright then," the Purple Gold Rat nodded. "Two." ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩 At the count of three, Shi Hao’s figure flickered, and he entered the Immortal Abode. Zhu Ke was stunned; where is the person? How did he just disappear? Then, a sense of unease suddenly surged up, this isn’t good, there’s a trap! In an instant, he couldn’t bother retreating the way he came; he directly leaped upward, his formidable power surging, enhanced by Immortal Rules, akin to an Immortal Artifact at this moment, indestructible. He broke through the cave walls, soaring upwards. However, the formation was activated, and destructive energy gushed out, encompassing the entire cave area. This was a single powerful strike, but its explosive force was indescribably terrifying. The mountain crumbled and rivers shifted. From afar, an entire mountain range had disappeared, and the nearby ground had drastically sunken a large piece. This was an indescribably strong strike beneath a Jade Immortal, was it not terrifying? Whoosh, Shi Hao flew out driving the Immortal Abode, it can shrink as small as a mustard seed, easily slipping through stone crevices, and as for the terrifying shockwave? Sorry, it’s crafted by an Immortal King, capable of withstanding even Jade Immortal’s attacks, let alone this explosion which hadn’t even reached the Jade Immortal level. Shi Hao emerged from the Immortal Abode, and the Purple Gold Rat flew over from a distance. "Eh, why did you come from so far away?" he asked, puzzled. "Nonsense, I’m not a brute like you, of course, I must protect my life well," the Purple Gold Rat said grumpily. At this moment, the rocks burst open, and a figure shot out. Damn, even that didn’t kill him?
