Chapter 405: The First Lucky One

Chapter 405: The First Lucky One

"It has been a full half-month, so why hasn't anyone come yet?"

Inside the Heavenly Emperor Sect, Wu Hao felt as if he were about to mold. By all accounts, he hadn't placed the Heavenly Emperor Sect in a very remote location; it was simply set in a deep, old forest within a Small World inside a Great World under the Profound Thunder Domain, just over five hundred kilometers away from the nearest human city.

But Wu Hao seemed to have forgotten that for him, five hundred kilometers was an area he could reach in a single thought. However, for the people in this Small World, unless they were beings who had stepped into the Nascent Soul Stage or higher, they wouldn't come to a deep, old forest for no reason to look for some Immortal predestined opportunity.

"Forget it, I'll just let nature take its course."

Wu Hao sighed helplessly and stopped thinking about it. However, because his Divine Sense was not active, Wu Hao currently did not know what was happening outside.

Meanwhile, not far from the Heavenly Emperor Sect, a young man was riding a horse toward the direction of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, with several attendants following behind him.

"Young Master, is there really an Immortal in this deep, old forest?"

Behind the young man, an attendant asked cautiously.

The young man shook his head and said with a serious expression.

"I believe in the existence of Immortals, but I am not sure if I can find one. After all, everything depends on predestined affinity. If there is no affinity, even if an Immortal were standing right in front of me, I wouldn't be able to recognize them."

"But Your Majesty gave you three years, Young Master. If you cannot find an Immortal within three years, you will have to go back and inherit the throne."

The attendant said hesitantly.

"Enough, do not mention this again. There are still two and a half years left; that is enough time. You do not need to follow by my side; I am enough on my own. Do you not trust this Young Master's martial arts?"

The young man said confidently.

Seeing this, the attendant sighed. Just as he was about to say something, he sensed something, his expression changed drastically, and he had just shouted, "Your Highness, watch out!" before he was killed by an arrow shot rapidly from the distance.

The young man's expression also changed, and he shouted.

"Everyone, take cover!"

In an instant, everyone at the scene quickly dismounted and sought cover, but the speed of the arrows was too fast, and soon the scene suffered heavy losses.

The Young Master, who was clearly the leader, found cover and hid, observing the situation around him. He couldn't help but grip the sword at his waist tightly, his expression looking incredibly ugly. Watching his dead attendants, his heart was filled with immense anger; they were all his trusted aides, and they had died protecting him because he wanted to seek Immortals and ask about the Dao.

"Young Master, what should we do now?"

The remaining attendants asked by the Young Master's side with angry expressions.

The Young Master took a deep breath, revealing killing intent.

"Find them, kill them, and avenge those who died!"

After speaking, the remaining five people began to carefully observe the opponent's position. The turn of events had come too quickly; they hadn't had time to react just now, knowing only that the arrows were shot from the south, but not their specific location.

"Young Master, I will act as bait, and you go find the enemy's position."

At this moment, an attendant standing beside the Young Master spoke, his tone filled with determination. Before the Young Master could react, he charged out and was directly pierced by three arrows shot from the distance.

"Three arrows, at least three people, shot from that bush about one hundred meters away from us."

The Young Master's expression was grim, but fortunately, the attendant's sacrifice was meaningful, as it had revealed the enemy's position to them.

Soon, the Young Master led the three remaining living attendants and quickly approached the enemy's position, but on the way, two more attendants were pierced by arrows and died on the spot.

Seeing this scene, the Young Master's eyes turned red, and his inner anger grew even greater. He rushed to the front of the bush, drew his long sword, and charged in.

The moment he charged in, three arrows came flying toward him. The Young Master dodged with a sidestep, then swung his sword down, directly decapitating one archer.

The situation was exactly as he had expected; there were only three archers. However, when he saw the clothing on the archers, his expression turned ugly because he recognized it as the uniform of the Divine Archer Battalion from their opposing Imperial Dynasty.

Just at this moment, the other two archers reacted, quickly drawing arrows and nocking their bows. Two arrows descended; the Young Master only blocked one, and the other arrow was not blocked, hitting him directly in the abdomen.

"Young Master, watch out!"

Just then, the remaining attendant had arrived. Seeing this scene, his eyes turned red, and he roared as he charged toward the two archers, but before he could get close, the archers reacted, and two arrows were fired, killing him instantly.

However, the Young Master had also reacted. Enduring the pain, he pulled out the arrow, quickly closed the distance, and slit the throats of the two archers. With this, this sudden crisis was finally resolved.

"Cough, cough, cough. The Wanfeng Dynasty actually dares to make a move against me? Could it be that they want to start a war?"

Zhang Tianhao's expression was incredibly ugly. As the Crown Prince of the Tianling Dynasty, if he were killed by people from the Wanfeng Dynasty, the Tianling Dynasty would surely go to war with the Wanfeng Dynasty because of it.

But now, Zhang Tianhao did not have time to think so much. He had been struck by an arrow, and if he did not treat the wound, all that awaited him was death from excessive blood loss.

However, along the way, Zhang Tianhao had not seen any villages, and his supplies were all on the horses. The horses had been frightened and had all run away, and now they could no longer be found.

"Am I destined to die in this wilderness?"

Feeling the significant blood loss, Zhang Tianhao's expression had already turned somewhat pale. Just as he looked up, Zhang Tianhao saw an extremely magnificent palace on a large mountain not far away.

"What place is that? Forget it, I can't worry about so much now. The worst-case scenario is just death."

Zhang Tianhao endured the pain and the dizziness caused by blood loss and finally arrived in front of the Heavenly Emperor Sect. After seeing the large bell beside the Heavenly Emperor Sect, Zhang Tianhao only had time to take out his sword and strike the large bell once, before he fainted.

Meanwhile, in a courtyard far from the Heavenly Emperor Sect, Wu Hao, who had been dozing off, suddenly opened his eyes. With a movement of his body, he vanished from his original spot, and by the time he appeared, he was already at the entrance of the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

"No way, a Disciple finally came after so much effort, so why does he look like he's about to die?"

At first glance, Wu Hao saw Zhang Tianhao lying beside the Disciple-Acceptance Bell. Seeing that Zhang Tianhao was still bleeding continuously, how could Wu Hao not know what had happened?

With just one glance, Wu Hao saw through Zhang Tianhao in front of him completely (referring to his background).

The Disciple-Acceptance Bell left in front of the Heavenly Emperor Sect also had a significant origin; it was specially crafted by Wu Hao. Unless it was someone with a predestined affinity with him, no matter what, they could not make the Disciple-Acceptance Bell sound.

Since Zhang Tianhao was able to make the Disciple-Acceptance Bell sound, he possessed the qualifications to become his Disciple.

Thinking of this, Wu Hao sighed, and then, in a single thought, the power of the Dao of Healing acted upon Zhang Tianhao's body.
