Kameda Hachiro lay on the ground, while Kameda Shichirou's head had just landed beside him.
His eyes were wide open in death!
Kameda Hachiro's face was filled with fear, and he quickly turned his head away, not daring to look.
Xu Hao retracted his aura and said indifferently, "Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"
When Kameda Hachiro heard Xu Hao's words, he realized instantly that he might still have a chance to live!
He hurriedly crawled to Xu Hao's feet, his heart filled with joy as he said, "Lord Hao, can I still live?"
Xu Hao nodded slightly, "If you want to live, eat this Elixir Pill."
As he spoke, he took out a black, fingertip-sized elixir pill and said, "This is the Ten Thousand Insects Devouring Heart Pill. It melts as soon as it enters the mouth. After you eat it, with just a thought, I can make you unable to live or die."
Kameda Hachiro's face struggled. If he agreed, he would be handing his life over to Xu Hao, but if he refused, Xu Hao would surely kill him right then.
After weighing his options, he took the elixir pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
Just as Xu Hao had said, it melted as soon as it entered his mouth, not even giving him a chance to hold it under his tongue.
He sighed softly in his heart. A bad life was better than a good death; after all, he did not end up dying a violent death like Shichirou. He looked up at Xu Hao and said, "Lord Hao, from now on, you are my master. What do you need me to do?"
Xu Hao said indifferently, "Stand here and don't move. Wait for me to retrieve something, then you go out first. Tell the Kameda family that Kameda Shichirou and the others were killed by me while trying to save you. You fought me off, causing me severe injuries, and I fled. We didn't get the items, as someone from Fusang Country named Li snatched them away unexpectedly."
"Yes! I will absolutely obey the master's orders!" Although Kameda Hachiro did not understand why Xu Hao wanted to frame the Li Family of Fusang Country, and there were too many people with the surname Li in Fusang Country, these were no longer his concerns. All he needed to do was follow Xu Hao's orders and survive.
Leaving Kameda Hachiro behind, Xu Hao walked with Anna toward the interior of the cave.
This place was much more spacious compared to the outside of the cave. Inside, there were stone tables, stone chairs, and a stone bed, looking like someone had lived here for a long time.
Xu Hao said, "It seems this place was indeed where Gui Guzi once lived. I just don't know if there are any books left here." This chapter's true source is My Virtual Library Empire (*).
Anna stood still, not daring to move. Although the place should be safe theoretically, accidents could still happen, and one must be cautious at all times.
Xu Hao looked around but did not find the Immortal Bone. He wondered aloud, "It shouldn't be . There must be something here; otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted so much attention from various powers."
Anna said, "Brother, could it be hidden somewhere? Although I don't know what you are talking about, I think, since it's so valuable, it must have been well preserved by its original owner."
Xu Hao smiled and said, "Anna, you are right. Let me look around."
His eyes slightly heated up, and his gaze changed, allowing him to see the faint floating light on many objects!
Soon, he found a Jade Box under the stone bed!
He also found traps and then activated them. The stone bed slowly rose, and he quickly took out the Jade Box.
He did not know what kind of jade it was. Holding it in his hands, it was extremely cold, as cold as a tomb. Xu Hao opened the Jade Box and saw a short section of bone emitting a dark glow.
The moment the Immortal Bone was exposed to the air, it seemed as if there was a powerful attraction on Xu Hao, causing it to fly up and enter Xu Hao's left hand.
Although Xu Hao did not know exactly what this thing was or what it meant, he knew that these things usually had their unique miraculous effects.
The Immortal Bone he obtained had the ability to devour, specifically evil energy.
However, Xu Hao knew that the Cultivation Technique he practiced tended toward the more virile, and absorbing too much evil energy was definitely not good, so he restrained its devouring power.
He didn't know what other uses this bone might have?
Soon, the Immortal Bone completely fused with Xu Hao's left hand.
Xu Hao slightly stimulated the Immortal Bone and saw his left hand immediately flicker with a faint dark glow, resembling a black hole that one could easily sink into.
Xu Hao's heart stirred, and he handed the Ancient Sword to Anna, saying, "Anna, chop my left hand with force."
Anna was still shocked by the change in Xu Hao's left hand, and hearing what Xu Hao said, she immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, are you trying to harm yourself?"
"What are you thinking, silly girl? Just chop when I tell you to," Xu Hao gave her a knock on the head and laughed.
"But if I chop off your hand, what then?" Anna still dared not do it.
Xu Hao shook his head slightly and called out to Kameda Hachiro outside, "Come in, pick up your long sword, and chop my left hand!"
"Master! Your subordinate dares not! Your subordinate dares not!"
Kameda Hachiro hurriedly pleaded for mercy, fearing that Xu Hao might be looking for an excuse to kill him. What would he do then!
