Chapter 1023: Chapter 1023

Zhang Xiaohao opened his eyes, finished his cultivation, jumped out of bed after a night of training.

With the help of the three blood essence fruits, the depleted Qi and blood strength had recovered by eighty percent.

The realm of the mid-stage Void Transformation Realm had completely stabilized, and the Shennong True Qi in his body was three times as much as before, even more.

Even the Soul Power had fully recovered.

A sharp light flashed in Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes, and it took a good while before it retracted.

Feeling his own state, Zhang Xiaohao nodded with satisfaction.

"Finally, almost everything has recovered," Zhang Xiaohao said.

He jumped out of bed, slipped on his slippers, and walked outside.

Mr. Cheng was sitting on the sofa, watching the torrential rain outside.

"Sigh! This rain is so heavy! It comes as it wishes, with no warning at all," Mr. Cheng said with a sigh.

"Yeah! Judging by this sign, it might take a while before this rain stops," Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Xiaohao, it’s Sunday today, how come you’re up so early?" Mr. Cheng asked with a smile.

"Grandpa, aren’t you up early too?" Zhang Xiaohao replied with a smile.

"Haha!" Mr. Cheng laughed heartily.

"Xiaohao, why don’t you accompany me for a game of chess?" Mr. Cheng suggested.

"How could I refuse the invitation of a senior?" Zhang Xiaohao said.

He then sat down opposite Zhang Xiaohao.

Mr. Cheng took out a Go board from under the coffee table, picked up the white stones, and started playing.

Zhang Xiaohao smiled and picked up the black stones, and started playing as well.

Compared to playing in the park with the elder surnamed Yang, Zhang Xiaohao’s technique this time was much gentler.

Different opponents, different techniques for Zhang Xiaohao.

Half an hour passed by in a flash.

"Hahaha..." Mr. Cheng laughed aloud and stood up from the sofa.

"I’ve gotten old and can’t refuse to lose!"

As they spoke, Mr. Cheng went into his room.

"Hehe!" Zhang Xiaohao smiled calmly.

The Go board was completely filled with no gaps, and to outsiders, it seemed like a draw.

But according to their rules, the side with the white stones that went first had already lost, since the white stones made the first move.

Zhang Xiaohao stood up from the sofa, just as he was about to walk outside.

"Ding ding ding..." That specially made phone suddenly rang at this moment.

"Who would call me so early in the morning?" Zhang Xiaohao wondered puzzledly in his mind.

He took out his phone, it showed a video call, oh, it’s from Master Old Ghost.

He answered the call.

In the video, appeared a palace as dark as ink, and even across thousands of miles, Zhang Xiaohao could feel the bloodthirsty and cold overwhelming aura from the palace on the other side.

Master Old Ghost sat on the ground with a solemn expression.

"You brat, what are you doing? Why are you answering the phone only now?" Master Old Ghost said displeased.

"Hehe! I just played a game of chess with Grandpa Cheng. By the way, Old Ghost, where are you now? Why do I feel something’s strange over there?" Zhang Xiaohao asked curiously.

"What do you know? This is the tomb where the Ancient True Demon fell! I’m here looking for something, but I’ve encountered some trouble!" Master Old Ghost said.

"Do you need me to come over?" Zhang Xiaohao asked seriously.

"No need! You’re too weak; your cultivation isn’t even enough to fill the gaps between the Puppet’s teeth here!" Master Old Ghost said irritably.

"Can you handle it?" Zhang Xiaohao asked again.

"Just a small trouble! I, Old Ghost, am not worried. The reason I called you is to notify you of something; you need to pay attention!" Master Old Ghost said.

"Master, what is it?" Zhang Xiaohao asked earnestly.

"It’s about the Dragon Slayer Blade you have!" Master Old Ghost said.

"Hmm? What is it, Master?" Zhang Xiaohao asked puzzledly.

"I’ve heard that the Little Bald Donkeys from the Great Brightness Temple seem to be heading to Nanhua City to use the Dragon Slayer Blade on you as part of a scheme! Supposedly, many ancient monsters who have been hidden for centuries have also received news and are preparing to head to Nanhua City to seize the Dragon Slayer Blade and find the secret hidden within!" Master Old Ghost said solemnly.

"Master, the Dragon Slayer Blade is with me; logically speaking, they shouldn’t know about it! Otherwise, those damn bald donkeys would’ve come to kill me already," Zhang Xiaohao said seriously. Orıginal content can be found at 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙

"I ask you, where did you get the Dragon Slayer Blade?" Master Old Ghost asked.

"At the entrance to the Tianyin Sect’s holy land!" Zhang Xiaohao replied.

As soon as he said this, Zhang Xiaohao immediately realized.

"Master, are you saying those damn bald donkeys are planning to move against the Tianyin Sect?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Yes! There’s a high possibility. Only by prying open their mouths might we find the Dragon Slayer Blade! Those Little Bald Donkeys have been holding back for so long, they must’ve gone mad by now! It’s said they’re coming out in full force, leaving only a small part behind to guard their lair!" Master Old Ghost said.

"Hmph! They’re courting death!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a murderous aura.

"Don’t be impulsive! These people coming are not ordinary; Heaven and Earth Great Power of the Cycle Palace Realm can only be considered trivial! A ruler of the Luotian Realm might have some say, and there’s even a Tiaoist Origin Realm elder among them! Xiaohao, remember no matter what happens, you must endure until I come over! A week at the earliest, ten days to half a month at the most, I’ll definitely be there before the end of the month!" Master Old Ghost said earnestly.

"Hmm!" Zhang Xiaohao nodded heavily.

"Alright, time is tight, I should get going as well! Take care of yourself," Master Old Ghost said.

After finishing, he directly hung up the video call.

Putting away the phone, Zhang Xiaohao’s expression turned serious.

If it were Heaven and Earth Great Power of the Cycle Palace Realm, he wouldn’t take them seriously, but a ruler of the Luotian Realm, even if he used all his means, would leave him no choice but to flee.

If it were a Martial Ancestor of the Tiaoist Origin Realm, the opponent could decide one’s life or death with just a thought.

"Great Brightness Temple, you damned bald donkeys, since you’re eager to court death, this time I will uproot you and eradicate every last one of you!" Zhang Xiaohao thought with killing intent.

He glanced at the pouring rain outside and walked out with large strides.

The time left for him was really not much; he had to strengthen himself to the best of his ability before the end of the month.

Rumble rumble rumble...

In the sky, streaks of silver-white thunder roared, black gales rose, and violent raindrops madly poured down from the night sky onto the ground.

Even though it was daytime, it was almost indistinguishable from night.

Zhang Xiaohao stood indifferently in the courtyard, closing his eyes, carefully recalling the introduction of the Snow God Body cultivation.
