Shi Hao was at leisure, wandering through mountains and waters without hurry, but it only took him twenty-one days to arrive outside of the Imperial Capital of Changming Country.
His physique was incredibly strong, and though he traveled on foot, his speed was faster than a swift horse.
——If he had traveled day and night without stopping, it would have probably taken only around thirteen or fourteen days.
The Imperial Capital lay quietly in the distance, grand and imposing.
"Young man, stop right there." From the dense woods ahead, an old man around sixty years old suddenly stepped out.
Shi Hao showed a puzzled expression, "Do we know each other?"
"No, we do not." The old man laughed and shook his head, "But I have been entrusted by someone to wait for you here."
"Oh, waiting for me to do what?" asked Shi Hao.
"To take your life." The old man's tone suddenly turned cold.
Shi Hao's expression did not change, "Who commissioned you?"
