Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

In fact, Qingyi Tianjiao still had some trump cards up his sleeve, but facing so many Nascent Soul Realm black-armored puppets and a seemingly formidable Xu Hao, he wasn't entirely confident.

Furthermore, since he didn't see any benefits, he felt it was a waste to use his precious trump card here, so he chose to give up and leave directly.

After he left, only Xu Hao and a large group of black-armored puppets exuding a murderous aura remained in this spacious area.

Roughly estimated, there are at least a hundred black-armored puppets. Even if Xu Hao was not affected by the magic-suppressing array and his physical body was comparable to a body cultivator in the Integration Realm, he would still be no match for them.

"clang!!"

Xu Hao took out an ancient-looking yellow bell and covered himself with it to protect himself from the black-armored puppet's attacks.

This Yellow Bell is a damaged sacred weapon, with only one-tenth of its power remaining; otherwise, even Xu Hao, who is at the Dharma Aspect Realm, would not be able to activate it.

Although it was damaged, it was still made of holy gold and remained hard, so it could withstand the attack for a while.

Among those thirty-odd young prodigies, many must have similar magical treasures, but unfortunately they can't mobilize their true essence, so even if they took them out, they couldn't use them.

If Xu Hao hadn't had no grudges against them, and if he hadn't wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble, he could have even taken action to keep most of them alive.

However, that would cause a lot of trouble, and it was with this in mind that Xu Hao refrained from taking action.

However, it was indeed unavoidable that they offended that last prodigy in blue.

"Clang clang clang!!"

Huang Zhong blocked all of the black-armored puppets' attacks, but Xu Hao's attacks landed squarely on them, forcefully repelling them and clearing a path for them.

And so, Xu Hao, carrying the yellow bell, arrived at the center of the main hall.

He reached out and grabbed, and a large, dark hand appeared above the box, directly grabbing the seemingly ordinary box.

Seeing that there were no other unusual changes, Xu Hao breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the box, and opened it directly.

There weren't many things in the box, just three items: a jade talisman, a storage ring, and a jade slip.

Xu Hao first opened the jade slip to take a look, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"I can refine and control these puppets with this jade talisman. I never expected this to be such a huge unexpected gain!!"

Xu Hao had brought similar puppets back to the Tianyuan Realm before, and they even sold for a considerable price at an auction.

What was sold back then was only at the Dharma Aspect Realm; if those at the Integration Realm were still being sold, the price would naturally be even higher.

Even if we don't sell it, keeping it for the Xu family members would be very useful.

After all, this is a puppet at the Integration Realm, which can do whatever it wants in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Without hesitation, Xu Hao immediately refined the jade talisman according to the method described in the jade slip. At this point, all the puppets were under his control.

"stop!"

Xu Hao raised his hand and pointed, and the menacing black-armored puppets around him all stopped moving as if they had lost their power.

With a wave of his hand, Xu Hao stored them all into the storage ring.

This storage ring contains the method for crafting puppets, related inheritances, some spirit stones and martial arts techniques, as well as materials for crafting puppets. Among them, the most precious item is a Saint Realm puppet wearing golden armor!

Although the golden-armored puppet is at the True Saint Realm, it is weaker than most True Saint Realm experts because it has some problems in using the laws.

However, below the True Saint Realm, 99% of cultivators are no match for it.

Only a few exceptionally talented individuals with extraordinary physical abilities could possibly defeat this golden-armored puppet at the ninth level of the Integration Realm.

"This is a really good thing!!"

Xu Hao was overjoyed.

This is arguably what he needs most right now, since his Dharma Aspect Realm cultivation is really not enough in this place. If he were to be surrounded by several Integration Realm prodigies, he would need to use up a lot of his trump cards to escape.

How can we compete with others for rare and precious resources and opportunities in this way?

Xu Hao immediately refined and bound the golden-armored puppet to his own, and pointed to the four side halls on both sides of the main hall.

"Demolish these four side halls."

The golden-armored puppet raised its hand and delivered four punches, shattering the four side halls, leaving them empty.

Moreover, with the destruction of these four side halls, the trapping array and the magic-suppressing array in this space all collapsed.

Xu Hao was greatly disappointed.

"It seems that the purpose of these four side halls is merely to assist the formation, and they are not as useful as the pavilions."

Xu Hao was worried that the geniuses who had left earlier might return and lurk nearby, so he dared not linger and had the golden-armored puppet carry him underground.

They didn't return to the ground until they were thousands of miles away from here.

With the help of the golden-armored puppet, Xu Hao was invincible in the small world during the following period.

Although the young prodigies who are still active in the small world are all at the Integration Realm.

However, the Golden Armored Puppet possesses strength comparable to a True Saint Realm expert. As long as it's not a monstrous talent at the ninth level of the Integration Realm with an extremely strong physique, Xu Hao can rampage around with the Golden Armored Puppet.

Even if he were to encounter a monster of that caliber, Xu Hao could safely evacuate under the protection of the golden-armored puppet.

Even with such a powerful helper, Xu Hao, who was apprenticed to Xu Chu, remained low-key and steady.

He always went treasure hunting alone. Only after encountering difficulties and assessing the surrounding situation would he take out the golden-armored puppet to clear the area.

Simply put, it's about pretending to be weak to take advantage of others.

This move made Xu Hao incredibly wealthy, and in just over a year, he broke through to the sixth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Not long after his breakthrough, Xu Hao encountered an acquaintance on his treasure hunt – the same Qingyi prodigy he had met in the puppet ruins.

The other party was also surprised to suddenly encounter Xu Hao, and their face lit up with joy.

"You're still alive, kid. In that case, let's settle our score."

The azure-clad prodigy stood with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering in the wind. He displayed his strength as a fourth-level cultivator of the Integration Realm, and his powerful aura swept towards Xu Hao like a tidal wave.

Xu Hao was forced to retreat repeatedly by the powerful pressure. The gap between his cultivation level and that of his opponent was too great. Even if he activated his Holy Body state and used a secret technique to forcibly increase his cultivation level, he still could not match him.

The proud young man in green lowered his eyes and looked down at Xu Hao, his gaze filled with indifference.

"Kneel down and beg me now, and I might let you die a little more easily."

Xu Hao grinned. With such a large gap in cultivation levels, there was no need to deliberately seek out torture. So he simply raised his hand, and a tall figure appeared in front of him, clad in golden armor, holding a golden sword, exuding a murderous aura.

As soon as the golden-armored puppet appeared, the green-robed prodigy was slightly taken aback and immediately sensed something was wrong.

This murderous aura, this imposing presence, is clearly not from someone at the Integration Realm.

"This! How is this possible?!"

The prodigy in blue recognized the puppet; it was the same as the black-armored puppets he had encountered in the ruins before, only much stronger.

He just couldn't figure out where the puppet was back then, why it was on Xu Hao now, and how he was controlling it.

Unlike the other person, Xu Hao didn't like to talk a lot of useless nonsense; he simply said one sentence in a plain and simple way.

"kill him."

Upon hearing this, the green-robed prodigy was startled. Filled with doubt and fear, he took out a token and tried to leave.

Unfortunately, the gap between his strength and the golden-armored puppet was too great. With just one strike, the green-robed prodigy was cut in two before he could even activate his token to teleport away.

He never imagined that he would die in this way.

Xu Hao collected the body, turned and left, without saying or making any unnecessary movements, concise and efficient.

He did similar things quite often during this period, and each time he was the one who was passive.

Once he had accumulated enough spoils, Xu Hao would find a safe place, go through the double-door back to the Xu family, and then take stock of his spoils.

Keep what's useful, sell what's useless at Wanbaoge, and give the really useful stuff to Xu Qingzhou separately.

Those prodigies were all incredibly wealthy, so during this time, Xu Hao accumulated a great deal of wealth and resources, and the Xu family also made a considerable profit.

They're just waiting for the next big auction at Wanbaoge to make another fortune.

Even if Xu Hao doesn't make it into the top ten or get a spot in the ancient battlefield after this trip to the small world ends, it's still not a complete loss.
