CHAPTER 620: CHAPTER 619: HOLD ON

Now, Lin Hao was certain that Suan San Sheng had this scheme in mind from the very beginning.

To have him set fire to the storeroom, create chaos, and then distract these guards, Great Emperors, while he himself sneaked off to steal something.

To pay such a price and even use a storage ring’s worth of red oil, the item Suan San Sheng wanted to steal must not be anything ordinary.

Even if it was a win-win situation, Lin Hao still felt pissed off inside.

He immediately let out a long howl, waved the Divine Cauldron in his hand, fending off several palm winds and sword qi, and swiftly retreated.

"Boom boom boom!"

The attacks from over a dozen Great Emperors all hit the passageway, causing a section of the corridor to collapse, with bricks and stones falling and the ground sinking in.

"Terrifying, is this really an Earthling from the Sky-breaking Realm?"

"Even if he’s holding a Divine Artifact, how can an Earthling with such low cultivation block the attacks of so many Great Emperors and still escape unscathed?"

A dozen Great Emperors watched Lin Hao dodge their attacks, each with an ugly look and utterly shocked expressions.

"How does this guy’s methods seem somewhat familiar?"

One of the Great Emperors pondered for a long time, then suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Lin Hao! He’s the leader of the Earthlings from Gu Country, who once barged into the Gu Country Palace with another overweight Great Emperor, not only slaying tens of thousands of elite soldiers but also escaping unscathed in the end!"

"That’s right, according to the news from Gu Country, the Earthling leader Lin Hao, despite not having high cultivation, wields a cauldron!"

"He actually came here alone? Is he seeking death, or is he too confident?!"

The more the Great Emperors talked, the more shocked they became, and the more scared they felt.

Since he is the distinguished leader of the Earthling race, he must be extraordinary.

Furthermore, this man not only snuck into the Gu Country Palace at night but also led to the demise of Gu Country in a short period of time, making the Seven Countries Alliance Army dare not confront him!

Such a person is definitely not a fool and would not be blindly confident.

Then, the only reason is that even if this Thousand Needle Country now has tens of thousands of Great Emperors, he has no fear and can come and go as he pleases!

"Not good, he seems to have headed to the hidden storeroom!"

After a moment of shock, one of the Great Emperors suddenly exclaimed, a terribly ugly look on his face.

"Damn it! This is outrageous! Do they really think my Thousand Needle Auction House is made of mud?" Suddenly, a dozen Great Emperors felt a surge of anger rising from their feet.

Even if you’re powerful, even if you think you’re invincible, to bully people like this, to look down on people so much, even a clay Buddha has a temper!

"Go! Call for the Auction House President! If we catch Lin Hao today, my Thousand Needle Auction House will surely dominate the entire Plane from now on!"

"It will surely be a great achievement, and the Divine World will confer rewards!"

The Great Emperors looked at each other, excited.

Meanwhile, Lin Hao dodged the attacks and followed after Suan San Sheng.

Suan San Sheng snuck alone into the deepest part of the warehouse, in front of a stone wall, sneakily doing something suspicious.

The wall was very smooth, clearly made from one whole rock.

But Suan San Sheng groped around there, and after touching something, the smooth stone wall creaked, flashed with light, and strangely a hole appeared.

"Suan San Sheng!"

At that moment, Lin Hao stepped forward and suddenly appeared behind Suan San Sheng.

"Holy shit!!"

Suan San Sheng yelled in surprise, glanced back at Lin Hao, wiped the sweat from his forehead, then his expression changed as he looked behind Lin Hao.

"Are you alone?"

Suan San Sheng looked astounded and confused: "You, shouldn’t you be leading your people out?"

```

"Why would I go out if you don’t?" Lin Hao sneered.

"If you don’t go out, how can I?" Suan Sansheng stamped his foot.

"If you go out, I’ll go out." Lin Hao stepped forward and took a glance at the cave.

```

```

This stone cave, artificially excavated, is rife with traps, emanating a chilly, murderous aura without the need for a closer look.

"You! Ugh, stop playing tongue twisters with me. Is this fun for you? You go save your people, I’ll dive into my tunnel. Hurry up and run!"

```

```

Suan Sansheng kept anxiously glancing towards the passageways behind Lin Hao, mumbling under his breath about miscalculations.

With a cold laugh, Lin Hao peeked into the stone cave.

```

```

This stone cave, located at the deepest part of the Thousand Needle Auction House’s warehouse, was so concealed that it surely held many treasures.

Suan Sansheng must have come for these treasures, and now that Lin Hao had encountered it, he wasn’t going to miss the opportunity.

```

```

"Go in then. What are you waiting for? You’ll be surrounded soon. It won’t be so easy to get in and then out." Lin Hao said with a smile.

"Heh! Is it easy to get out now?" Suan Sansheng was furiously angry. "You stand guard here, I’m going in."

```

```

"Do you really think that’s a good idea?" Lin Hao approached the entrance, and at first glance, he spotted several hidden weapons just a step inside.

"I’ll give you half of the things!" Suan Sansheng, having no other choice, clenched his jaw and held up five fingers.

```

```

"Deal. But I’m going in."

Having said that, Lin Hao covered himself with the Divine Cauldron and strode boldly into the stone cave.

"Hey!" Suan Sansheng wanted to say something, but seeing Lin Hao already entering the cave, he ultimately held back.

```

```

Then, whooshing sounds of Sky-breaking could be heard.

Inside the passageway, a barrage of hidden weapons was unleashed, all aimed at Lin Hao.

However, all these hidden weapons were blocked by the Divine Cauldron, unable to leave a single mark on it.

```

```

The sounds of the hidden weapons gradually thinned out and eventually ceased.

Lin Hao turned around and looked at Suan Sansheng, "Come on, aren’t you going to take a look inside? If you don’t come, I’m taking everything."

```

```

"You... you... you!" Suan Sansheng was so angry he was almost smoking from the nostrils.

Just as he wanted to retort, suddenly, figures flickered in the passageway.

```

```

"Who goes there? Who dares to trespass in the heart of Thousand Needle?!"

"Come out now, and you’ll have an easier death!"

"Otherwise, you will wish for death!"

```

```

A surge of energy swept through, and a dozen figures suddenly appeared, the Great Emperors finally caught up, each one looking murderously at Suan Sansheng and Lin Hao.

```

```

"Eh, aren’t you going to put out the fire? If the fire starts spreading, it will burn all the auction items outside, that would be no small loss," said Suan Sansheng, unfazed by the appearance of the dozen Great Emperors, not in the least bit scared, still speaking with a grin.

```

```

The Great Emperors paused, frowning slightly.

Their eyes filled with surprise as they looked at Suan Sansheng, realizing he was no simple man.

```

```

"All the auction items outside have been plundered by that Earth man, what’s there to save!" One of the Great Emperors, furious, beard bristling, glared at Lin Hao.

And Suan Sansheng was also startled, looking back at Lin Hao in disbelief: "Is what he said true? You looted everything outside and you still want to share with me? You’re too greedy!"

```

```

"It’s you who wanted to share with me, not the other way around. Get it straight," Lin Hao replied with a laugh, then immediately headed deeper into the cave. "Hold them off, I’m going in!"

```

```

"What? No way!" Suan Sansheng was shocked and immediately squeezed into the cave as well.

At the same time, the Great Emperors were infuriated, ten dignified Great Emperors being ignored as if they were nothing.

```

```

"Court death!"

With an angry roar, one of the Great Emperors could no longer hold back and lunged directly at Suan Sansheng.

```
