Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1429: Chapter 342: Reaching the Summit (7K)_3

In that moment, the young girl had already caught up, and then gratefully said, "Thank you!"

As she spoke, her movement technique changed, surpassing Li Hao, and then catching up to a young man ahead, drawing close to him.

But just before reaching Forget Heart Hall, her hair suddenly shot out like black vines, entangling the young man’s waist, then fiercely pulling back, swapping places, and using the momentum to leap into Forget Heart Hall.

The young man was pulled back, feeling furious, and rushed into Forget Heart Hall, shouting angrily, "Do you have a death wish?"

At this moment, the green-skirted girl’s face no longer showed any pitiful expression; instead, she crossed her arms over her chest and sneered, "There’s no rule against it. It’s your fault for not being on guard."

"Is that so? Let’s see just how skilled you really are!"

The young man, infuriated, unleashed his Dao Domain, ready to fight her.

But at this time, the voice of the Immortal Guard Commander emerged from inside Forget Heart Hall: "Duels are forbidden on Wenda Mountain."

The young man looked up into the void, suppressing his anger, and said, "Then what about what she just did?"

"She didn’t harm you, so it doesn’t count."

The Immortal Guard Commander shook his head, but his gaze fell on Li Hao and the others who had arrived later at Forget Heart Hall, and he calmly said:

"She was just the last to be in the top thousand, the others have lost their qualification to advance, unless you have the ability to reach the pinnacle."

Hearing this, the young man froze, as if doused in cold water, feeling all his blood run cold.

Li Hao was somewhat surprised, but his gaze swept toward the green-skirted girl.

The green-skirted girl, now wide-eyed, felt both terrified and overjoyed, patting her own chest.

Then, noticing Li Hao’s gaze, she slightly raised her chin and gave Li Hao a sweet smile:

"Little brother, sorry, but I really needed this opportunity. You are still young and talented, you’ll have plenty of chances in the future."

The address had changed... Li Hao couldn’t help but feel like laughing, yet he wasn’t angry, only finding it amusing.

Seeing that Li Hao hadn’t gotten angry, the green-skirted girl was somewhat surprised. If Li Hao hadn’t paused and waited earlier, that last spot would have either been the young man’s or Li Hao’s, and she would surely have missed this chance.

Even if she used that method to surpass Li Hao, she couldn’t use the same trick on another person, as the next person would surely be on guard.

"Is what you said about your entire clan true?"

Li Hao asked.

The green-skirted girl was slightly stunned, not expecting Li Hao to care about this instead of despairing over his elimination.

"It’s none of your business."

Her expression tightened slightly, unwilling to talk about it.

Seeing this, Li Hao nodded and didn’t press further, only saying, "If it’s true, then congratulations; if it’s false, then I hope it’s true."

Seeing Li Hao’s calm demeanor, the green-skirted girl’s face changed slightly, staring at Li Hao, she said:

"Do you want to take revenge on me?"

"Revenge?"

Li Hao shook his head and laughed, "Not at all, not at all."

Seeing Li Hao’s nonchalant manner, the green-skirted girl felt a strange pressure in her chest, as if she didn’t even exist in his sight, so much so that he wouldn’t even get angry with her.

Amid her silence, the young man beside her let out a furious roar, "She’s the last one, so I’m out?!"

"This, this is unfair!"

He couldn’t help but shout angrily.

The Immortal Guard Commander glanced at him coldly, saying, "If you’re less skilled, be quiet; you’re not a baby in a cradle needing coddling."

"But, but she broke the rules first, it was clearly me first!"

The young man, eyes red, gritted his teeth, glaring venomously at the green-skirted girl.

Seeing his gaze, the green-skirted girl felt a chill in her heart but then felt a sense of relief, feeling this was more normal behavior.

Contrarily, the guy with the shortest soul life beside her was overly calm, making her unable to see through him.

"Immature."

The Immortal Guard Commander shook his head slightly, ignoring him, instead looking at the several dozen others who subsequently rushed to Forget Heart Hall and said, "You’ve already lost your chance, but if you want to advance, you’ll have to reach the top."

The several dozen people looked at each other, their faces somewhat grim.

Reach the top? They had no confidence, given that they had already fallen behind others sprinting here.

"Haotian."

At this moment, Gu Yan, Yue Xi, and others arrived at Li Hao’s side, their expressions complex and a bit grim.

Nobody expected Li Hao to lose his spot, just by a little.

"Is this the extent of your abilities?"

Yinjing City looked at Li Hao with disdain and sneered, "Ranking ninth on the Tao Fire list, don’t you have great abilities in the True Immortal Realm? Yet you fell behind others, it’s simply laughable!"

Even Meng Huaiyue looked at Li Hao with confusion and disappointment.

Li Hao glanced at Yinjing City and didn’t respond.

Seeing Li Hao ignoring him, Yinjing City felt a sense of anger, but Li Hao’s glance seemed to carry some deterrence, and he faintly sensed that further taunting would provoke action from him. Hence, he just snorted coldly, wore a mocking smile, but didn’t continue to insult him.

"Haotian, you were just a bit short."

Yue Xi anxiously looked at Li Hao, her gaze turning to the green-skirted girl, gritting her teeth, she said, "Using such despicable tricks, exploiting my junior brother’s compassion is really disgraceful!"

"All’s fair in war, that’s the lesson he needed."

The green-skirted girl raised an eyebrow but sneered.

Gu Yan coldly glanced at the green-skirted girl, saying, "I hope you don’t encounter me in the battles ahead."

"Ha, so what if I encounter you, do you think you can win against me?"

The green-skirted girl sneered, "If it weren’t for the delay on the way, do you really think I’d arrive so late?"
