Chapter 257: Wu Hao Takes Action, Sect Leader Wen Falls

"This brat, I thought he had some tricks up his sleeve. I didn't expect him to actually know I was here. Forget it, he is my Great-Grandfather's Great-grandson after all, and this Sect Leader Wen is bullying him a bit too much."

Wu Li had not guessed wrong; Wu Hao was indeed watching this scene from the shadows.

After hearing Wu Li's words, he sighed helplessly and ultimately chose to take action.

Sect Leader Wen did not choose to stop because of Wu Li's words; he still chose to attack. In his view, as long as he could capture Wu Li and avenge his son, he could accept any price.

After all, Saint Child Wen Tianren was his only heir, and having reached the Peak by the age of one million, he could, barring any accidents, Cultivate to the same Realm as himself: Immortal Emperor Late Stage.

At that time, the Myriad Thunder Sect would have two Immortal Emperor Middle Stage experts, and its status in the Upper Realm would reach a new high. But now, this dream had been shattered by Wu Li, so how could he not be furious?

Soon, Sect Leader Wen's power was about to fall upon Wu Li, and the expression on Wu Li's face finally carried a hint of nervousness. In fact, he was betting that his Great-Grandfather was paying attention to things here. If his Great-Grandfather hadn't been paying attention, he would likely be dead for real.

Fortunately, at this life-and-death moment, Wu Hao finally appeared.

The next second, Wu Hao appeared directly in front of Sect Leader Wen. Before Sect Leader Wen could react, he saw Wu Hao land a palm strike lightly.

"Scram! How can you be allowed to bully my descendant?"

Before Sect Leader Wen could react, he was directly struck heavily injured by Wu Hao's palm. With a face full of shock, he looked at Wu Hao, trying to find a match for such a powerful expert in his mind.

But he could not find one no matter what. After all, even in the entire Upper Realm, it would be hard for even the Five Great Holy Lords to find an expert capable of injuring him so easily.

"Senior, your descendant laid hands on my offspring, and I was only asking for an explanation. Isn't your conduct a bit too overbearing? How is this any different from a Cultivator of the Demonic Path?"

Sect Leader Wen said with an extremely ugly expression, trying to pin the label of a Demonic Path Cultivator on Wu Hao.

But Wu Hao completely ignored Sect Leader Wen's words, turned around to look at Wu Li, snorted coldly, and said.

"Didn't I tell you to keep a low profile? Do you call this a low profile?"

If it weren't for him, Wu Li would likely have perished this time. Moreover, he had provoked an Immortal Emperor Late Stage while only being at the Golden Immortal Early Stage. If he were a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, an Immortal King, or even reached the Immortal Emperor Realm, wouldn't he be unable to handle it himself?

Hearing his Great-Grandfather's words, Wu Li scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said.

"Hehe, Great-Grandfather, didn't others provoke me first? Besides, that was something I obtained first. He came to my door and insisted on attacking me; I was merely defending myself."

Nangong Wan, who was on the side, finally felt her hanging heart settle after seeing Wu Hao appear. But for some reason, she always felt that the Wu Hao in front of her seemed to be able to see through her completely.

But one had to know that even in the records of the entire Upper Realm, there was no mention of the Eye of Fortune. If Wu Hao knew the origin of her eyes, would he take action against her?

Thinking of this, Nangong Wan felt a sense of trepidation in her heart, but Wu Hao clearly had no intention of paying attention to Nangong Wan. In his view, Nangong Wan was just average. Relying on the Eye of Fortune to boost Luck to speed up, the effect of Luck in the later stages was small; what one mainly relied on was the Cultivator themself.

After seeing his Great-Grandfather backing him up, Wu Li suddenly felt he could be bold again and snorted coldly at Sect Leader Wen.

"Hey, I'm telling you, I had no intention of killing your son. It was just that your son kept being aggressive. I tried to reason with him, and he was even the one who attacked first. How can you blame me for this?"

At this moment, Sect Leader Wen's expression was extremely ugly, but hindered by the presence of Wu Hao, he couldn't say much and could only grit his teeth and say.

"You are right. It was indeed my son who brought you trouble. I apologize on behalf of my son here. Let this matter end here."

Sect Leader Wen stood up, apologized to Wu Li, and then spoke to Wu Hao, saying in an extremely humble tone.

"Senior, this matter was me taking action without clarifying the situation. I apologize. I am willing to offer you compensation for this matter. I ask that Senior can raise your hand high and spare me."

Sect Leader Wen knew that if he did not handle today's matter well, his fate, along with that of the entire Myriad Thunder Sect, would likely not end well.

Although he did not know exactly what Realm Wu Hao was in, judging from the fact that Wu Hao could easily injure him, Wu Hao's Realm was likely at least Immortal Emperor Peak. One had to know that there was not even a single Immortal Emperor Peak in the current Upper Realm.

If Wu Hao were to fly into a rage, the Five Great Holy Lands would probably not dare to stand up and speak for him.

Hearing this, Wu Hao snorted coldly and said.

"Not clarifying the situation? I think even if you had clarified the situation, you would still have chosen to attack."

Although Sect Leader Wen thought he had hidden the hatred deep in his eyes very well, it was nowhere to hide in front of Wu Hao. If such a person was not completely wiped out, he would likely hide in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to jump out and stab him in the back.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Wu Hao had no intention of letting Sect Leader Wen live. Even the Myriad Thunder Sect behind him, in Wu Hao's view, was no different from being destroyed.

Upon hearing Wu Hao's words, Sect Leader Wen's expression was extremely shocked, and he hurriedly said.

"Senior, how could that be? It is well known that my Myriad Thunder Sect is a very reasonable power. If it were truly the Myriad Thunder Sect's fault, then I would absolutely not pursue it."

"Hmph, since you dared to lay hands on my descendant, you should be prepared to be killed. Be on your way!"

Wu Hao snorted coldly. Sect Leader Wen immediately felt something was wrong, but in front of Wu Hao, how could he have any power to fight back? In just an instant, he saw Wu Hao's palm enlarge infinitely in front of him, and then his consciousness completely sank into nothingness.

Watching Wu Hao slay an Immortal Emperor Late Stage expert so cleanly and neatly, Wu Li and Nangong Wan, who were standing behind him, were both incomparably shocked. Of course, Nangong Wan's shock was much greater than Wu Li's.

Wu Li had known from the beginning that his Great-Grandfather's strength was greater than an Immortal Emperor Late Stage, so it was not unacceptable now.

But Nangong Wan had believed from the beginning that Wu Hao should be an Immortal Emperor Late Stage, after all, there was not a single Immortal Emperor Peak in the current Upper Realm.

But judging from the current situation, Wu Hao seemed to be more than just an Immortal Emperor Late Stage; he was likely an Immortal Emperor Peak.

If Wu Hao was truly an Immortal Emperor Peak, then wouldn't that mean the current Upper Realm was capable of giving birth to Immortal Emperor Peak experts?
