Chapter 1269: Chapter 279: Li Hao’s Ingredients

Li Hao distinguished the direction, returning towards Qinghe Mo City together with the Ancient Demon Woman.

Along the way, aside from the pitch-black starry sky, there were scattered remnants everywhere, a mixture of Ancient Demons and the Human Race, especially as they neared the first line of defense, where the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty’s army had long retreated to the second line, leaving behind corpses and blood everywhere.

Li Hao had chased all the way here before, so he was not unfamiliar with this, his expression unchanged.

The Ancient Demon Woman, upon seeing the scene, also remained expressionless, as though she had seen it all before.

“Now that we’re talking, I don’t know how to address you?”

Walking amidst the mountains of corpses and Blood Sea, the Ancient Demon Woman turned her head, asking curiously, her lively demeanor contrasting with her usually icy personality, and the light-hearted tone at odds with the Purgatory-like surroundings.

Li Hao replied indifferently, “Before asking me, you should introduce yourself first.”

The nasty Human boy… Inwardly, the Ancient Demon Woman snorted coldly, but outwardly she maintained a smiling face, “It seems I was impolite. You can call me… Mi Xueyao.”

“Chong Er.”

Li Hao responded coldly.

Mi Xueyao raised an eyebrow, saying, “As far as I know, the Human Race doesn’t have the surname Chong, is that your real name?”

Mutual distrust… Li Hao inwardly sneered but ignored her.

The detestable boy, wait until I obtain an identity within the Human Race, see how I’ll handle you… Mi Xueyao watched Li Hao’s cold demeanor, secretly gritting her teeth, although she knew Li Hao blamed her for the previous Ancient Demon Commander’s pursuit, no one had ever dared treat her like this.

“Are you still angry about the previous incident? We’re all of the Human Race, aren’t we supposed to help each other in slaughtering the Ancient Demons?”

Mi Xueyao said with a hint of grievance.

“Why was that thing chasing you?”

Li Hao suddenly asked.

Mi Xueyao was stunned and replied without thinking, “Of course, it’s because I’m part of the Human Race, do the Ancient Demons need a reason to kill the Human Race?”

Li Hao rolled his eyes, unwilling to waste his breath further.

Seeing Li Hao’s attitude, a trace of doubt flickered in Mi Xueyao’s eyes, could it be this boy knows something? Impossible, unless he understands the Ancient Demon Clan’s language, but in the ten thousand years of war between the Ancient Demon Clan and the Human Race, they had long developed secret techniques to be used upon being captured and having their memories searched.

Once an Ancient Demon’s memory is touched, the Ancient Demon will immediately have their Primordial Spirit explode, self-destructing, and simultaneously trigger the secret technique, pulling the intruder into a reincarnation world crafted by the highest Great Emperor of the Ancient Demon Clan, undergoing terrifying torment.

The intruder’s memory would then be reverse-plundered.

After all, that shattered reincarnation holds many treasures in the hands of the Ancient Demon Clan.

Mi Xueyao slightly shook her head, dismissing this thought, assuming Li Hao just had a peculiar personality.

“You’re so powerful, able to contend with an Immortal Monarch Realm at the True Immortal Realm Third Level, surely you must be a top genius within your sect? Which sect or power do you belong to?”

Enduring Li Hao’s foul mood, Mi Xueyao asked curiously.

Li Hao turned a deaf ear, unwilling to respond.

Damned, damned, detestable boy… Mi Xueyao gritted her teeth inwardly, wishing she could strike Li Hao, but she held back.

She continued to ask other questions, but Li Hao showed no reaction. Seeing this, she simply stopped trying to please him. As long as she reached the Human Race’s camp, she’d find a way to sneak somewhere else, then come back to deal with this boy, secretly imprisoning him and putting him through some cruel torture…

With certain harsh punishments in mind, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled upwards.

They traveled silently, without further communication.

Along the way, encountering Ancient Demon Corpses, Li Hao collected them all into his Heaven and Earth Space.

In this war, most of the Immortal Army had no time to collect the Ancient Demons’ bodies.

Li Hao picked up scattered Ancient Demon Corpses along his return route, piecing together twenty or thirty of them.

Suddenly, he smacked his forehead, realizing he needed the Ancient Demon Corpses, why exhaust himself hunting them?

This is a battlefield, where corpses are abundant, one could find them everywhere!

Thinking this, Li Hao suddenly didn’t want to return, continuing the corpse collection at the first line of defense proved more efficient.

Though… it’s best to get this Ancient Demon beside him inside first.

Li Hao glanced at Mi Xueyao, continuing towards the second line of defense.

Mi Xueyao watched Li Hao’s actions with some surprise, thinking why didn’t this Human collect the corpses of his own kind, instead picking up Ancient Demons’ corpses… could he want to use them as merit?

Observing Li Hao’s odd behavior, she considered but chose not to ask, avoiding unnecessary trouble.

A long time passed.

Upon returning to the vicinity of the second line of defense, still at some distance, Li Hao saw a large number of Ancient Demon Army there, his face changed slightly as he restrained his aura, realizing this second line seemed to have fallen, completely taken by the Ancient Demons!

Mi Xueyao noticed as well, expressing no joy, instead her eyes turned cold.

Suddenly, she seemed to notice something, her face drastically changing.

“Not good.”

She pulled Li Hao to stop, simultaneously releasing Immortal Power to envelop him, concealing Li Hao’s aura.

Within the Immortal Power, she quietly emitted a trace of Ancient Demon’s aura, perfectly hiding them, preventing the Ancient Demons from detecting the scent of Human Race.

“What’s the matter?”

Li Hao also noticed the Ancient Demon Tide ahead, but nearby, there were camps fiercely battling, suggesting mixing in might allow a chance to return.

“It’s the Reincarnation Clan.”

Mi Xueyao’s face looked grim, saying, “Those two Ancient Demon Commanders who pursued us earlier, in the Ancient Demon Clan, have peculiar bloodlines, and the Reincarnation Clan is one of the seven major bloodlines of the Ancient Demons, far more terrifying than ordinary Ancient Demons!”

Li Hao paused, this was indeed the first time he’d heard this.

“The Ancient Demons you see, among the commanders, and those of king level, mostly come from the seven major bloodlines!”
