CHAPTER 601: CHAPTER 600: COME OUT AND TALK IF THERE’S AN ISSUE

As these words were spoken, the Half-Step Emperor was also very anxious.

He was afraid that Sunset Three Laughs would make a move.

However, Sunset Three Laughs remained as still as an old monk in meditation, utterly motionless, not even blinking an eye.

This caused the people inside the inn to become more daring.

All eyes were now on Lin Hao.

"Do you dare to step outside?!" The Half-Step Emperor glared at Lin Hao, urging him through gritted teeth.

"Is there a problem?"

Lin Hao finally turned his head and gave him a glance.

The Half-Step Emperor was stunned and then burst into laughter.

This Earthling is really good at pretending!

Anyone should know that this is a threat on his life, yet he seriously asked if there is a problem.

Of course, there is a problem!

"Do you dare to come out!" The Half-Step Emperor sneered menacingly.

"Get lost!"

Lin Hao certainly knew what this Emperor meant. But, you want me to go out, and I should just go? Moreover, it’s dinner time, why should I go out?

But this one word "get lost", exploded like a thunderclap in the inn.

Everyone looked at Lin Hao in disbelief, even the silent Sunset Three Laughs, who had been as stoic as a post, showed a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

In everyone’s view, Lin Hao was merely a low-level Martial Practitioner; his cultivation was seen as the most novice existence in this plane.

And this person, after all, is a Half-Step Emperor, and you tell him to get lost just like that?

Perhaps if Sunset Three Laughs weren’t present there, this Half-Step Emperor would have already cut him down!

Now, the Half-Step Emperor’s face had turned dark, glaring viciously at Lin Hao, with an urge to devour him.

But, Sunset Three Laughs is also here, and he seems to be here for a meal.

If he killed Lin Hao here and blood splattered, ruining Sunset Three Laughs’ mood, what if Sunset Three Laughs got upset? Wouldn’t that mean his own death as a Half-Step Emperor?

For a moment, the Half-Step Emperor stood next to the table, neither advancing nor retreating, his face beet-red, utterly unable to recover his dignity.

"The dishes are here!"

Fortunately, at this moment, the waiter brought a basket of dishes, all made from the unique animals of the Bitter Realm, roasted meats, all of which were placed in front of Sunset Three Laughs.

Sunset Three Laughs finally moved, enjoying his meal as if he hadn’t eaten in a long time.

The Half-Step Emperor watched, terrified and secretly relieved.

Fortunately, he didn’t act just now. If he had killed Lin Hao, it might have ruined Sunset Three Laughs appetite. If Sunset Three Laughs had gotten upset and killed him, wouldn’t that have been a great injustice?

But now, his embarrassment, walking up there and being scolded by Lin Hao. If he didn’t react and just withdrew, wouldn’t that be very disgraceful?

Losing face in front of so many people would be worse than killing a Martial Artist.

But if he doesn’t retreat, should he go up and kill Lin Hao?

To kill in front of Sunset Three Laughs while he is eating, and to have blood splatter on his food, would Sunset Three Laughs kill Lin Hao again, or kill him?

But neither killing Lin Hao nor retreating, just standing there watching Lin Hao eat, what is the meaning of that? Wouldn’t that be even more disgraceful?

Trapped in a dilemma, roasting on a fire.

This Half-Step Emperor was regretting why he hadn’t kept his composure and rushed up earlier, while many others were relieved that they had kept their composure and hadn’t stepped forward.

"What are you standing there for? Couldn’t find a seat?"

Just then, the waiter, dressed as a man, either intentionally or unintentionally, after serving Sunset Three Laughs, passed by the Half-Step Emperor, glaring at him and, without caring that his cultivation was much higher than hers, bluntly asked.

The Half-Step Emperor wasn’t even angry; rather, he wanted to thank the waiter, almost moved to tears, immediately turned around, took the opportunity to descent the slope, and headed back to his own seat.

```

The inn quieted down again, as if everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts.

Lin Hao finished his meal soon after, fully satiated, and wiped his mouth.

He glanced at Sunset Three Laughs, who was still eating across from him, but Lin Hao said nothing.

This person was somewhat strange, possessing the peak Emperor Cultivation, but he seemed no less powerful than the old men behind the Gu Country Palace.

Sunset Three Laughs did not look at Lin Hao, and after Lin Hao finished eating, he stood up, turned around, and walked towards the man who was almost a Great Emperor.

"Did you say you were looking for me? Let’s go outside and talk."

After saying this, Lin Hao turned and walked out.

At this, all the eyes in the inn swiftly turned to him, even Sunset Three Laughs couldn’t help but glance over.

Everyone had thought Lin Hao had chickened out earlier, using Sunset Three Laugh’s reputation to avoid the confrontation with the almost Great Emperor.

But now, it was not the case.

Earlier, Lin Hao simply wanted to eat and ignored the almost Great Emperor, but now, after his meal, he was actually seeking him out!

Everyone was stunned and then felt something was off.

Which person from Earth on this Upper Realm Plane would dare to be so boldly reckless? Anyone daring to do so in front of them must not be an ordinary character!

This was going to be interesting!

Everyone’s breathing quickened.

But the almost Great Emperor hadn’t thought that much.

He only felt that the disrespect he suffered earlier, he needed to return it all to Lin Hao!

Not only to return it, but to exact it back doubly, he wanted Lin Hao to die terribly!

With this thought, the almost Great Emperor snorted angrily, grabbed his sword, and followed Lin Hao outside.

"Hey, what are you doing? The sandstorm is coming early, it’s dangerous outside!"

The waiter came out from the back hall and saw Lin Hao and the almost Great Emperor heading out, and immediately yelled out.

"Oh, someone wanted to talk to me outside, I’ll be back soon."

The waiter was nice enough, Lin Hao smiled slightly and reassured him.

The waiter looked at Lin Hao strangely, a peculiar glint flashed through his eyes.

Outside the inn, the sun was setting, leaving only a bit of twilight.

The air was filled with a strange scent.

Just stepping out of the inn, Lin Hao felt a difference in this part of the world.

Different from when he had arrived.

The air was filled with restlessness, antiquity, and killing intent!

The wind was starting.

No, it was killing intent!

In the distance, the killing intent formed winds, wave after wave blowing towards him.

Lin Hao instinctively looked up to see, in the far distance, black sandstorms blotting out the sky, merging into one, rolling towards him.

Although still far away, just one look was enough to feel its oppressive, destructive power.

The sandstorm had arrived!

This was the Bitter Realm Storm, legend says it existed before the Bitter Realm was born, everlasting through the ages.

meters from the inn, Lin Hao stopped.

The sandstorm howled, the killing intent sharp.

In less than ten minutes, the storm would sweep across the land.

He stopped, turned back, and looked at the almost Great Emperor standing at the inn’s entrance, stunned by the distant sandstorm, "Hey, didn’t you want to talk to me? Come here, what did you want to talk about?"
