Jiang Hao went out for a stroll and found that the rumors were spreading.
Some even started to think seriously about it.
Once rumors spread, they couldn’t be stopped.
No matter how much the truth is explained, those who doubt will continue to doubt it.
“You’re truly ignorant. Even though you can’t get close to the main gate of the Bright Moon Sect, you’re worried about what will happen after you enter it. If you’re afraid, you can just turn around and leave. Go far away from Star-Moon City.”
“But how do you know if it’s true or not?”
“Ridiculous! It’s obvious that someone can’t stand the success of the Bright Moon Sect and has spread these baseless rumors.”
“Why would someone be risking their lives to spread the information?” Jiang Hao wandered around various places and found many people debating whether the rumors were true.
“Fellow Disciple Jiang, we meet again,” said a surprised voice from behind.
Jiang Hao felt helpless as he turned to look. It was Wan Xiu and Si Cheng once again.
They seemed to be watching him.
Basic courtesy was still important, no matter what he felt. “Seniors, what a coincidence.”
Si Cheng laughed. “How about a drink?” Jiang Hao had no choice but to agree.
They went to the same loft as before.
The massive river was clear and still during the day. He saw an occasional boat pass by.
Even during the day, there were people around. The place still looked beautiful.
“Where do you study, my friend?” Wan Xiu asked curiously.
“Just a small place,” Jiang Hao said.
“Your father must be highly educated, right?” Wan Xiu asked again.
“No, he was just an ordinary scholar. Compared to you two, he is nothing,” Jiang Hao said truthfully.
These two seemed to like poetry and calligraphy, but it was useless to them.
According to them, it was just a way to be cultured.
Wan Xiu didn’t ask any further questions, and he looked at the people on the opposite shore. “I heard a lot of rumors lately. People say that the Bright Moon
Sect wants to steal people’s luck.”
“I heard about it too,” Jiang Hao said.
“What do you think, my friend?” Wan Xiu asked.
Jiang Hao looked at them and shook his head. “I’m not very knowledgeable on such matters. ”
“Do you feel like it’s true or false?” Si Cheng asked.
Jiang Hao always felt that these two were trying to persuade him to join them.
Because of Hong Yuye, they thought he was someone important.
If he didn’t say anything, they wouldn’t let him be.
“Seniors, there’s no need to test me. I’m just here out of curiosity and to explore. Of course, I’m also curious about Foundation Establishment.” Wan Xiu chuckled awkwardly. “Do you think it’s possible, my friend?”
Jiang Hao remained silent for a moment. “It’s possible.”
The two of them paused, then smiled knowingly.
“By the way, that young lady… is she your partner?” Si Cheng asked. He was a little drunk.
Jiang Hao almost spat out the wine.
“She’s my Senior Sister,” Jiang Hao said.
Wan Xiu and Si Cheng looked at each other and nodded with a smile. “I see.”
Jiang Hao felt like they might have misunderstood something.
But it didn’t matter as long as Hong Yuye didn’t find out.
In a little over ten days, the Dao Conference would begin.
It should be quite lively by then, and he could also see the power of various sects.
Most importantly, he might encounter The End of All Things. Maybe he could capture someone alive from there and interrogate them.
He didn’t expect to find the person behind the stone tablet, obviously. However, it would be great if he could find a way to contact them.
He also needed to be cautious of the Fallen Immortal Clan. They had special methods to pry into others’ secrets.
He wanted to avoid them if possible. If he did encounter them, he would try not to attract their attention.
“Friend, do you feel like reciting a poem?” asked Wan Xiu.
Jiang Hao was speechless.
He was curious if all high-level cultivators were like this.
Back at the inn, he waited for time to pass.
By now, he had sold everything he could. He now had 38,650 spirit stones.
He had also bought a lot of materials for making talismans.
Even though the things he sold were cheap, the materials he bought were cheaper.
It seemed that there was fierce competition here, and the cost was low.
Another ten days passed.
Jiang Hao realized that there were only three days left until the Dao Conference.
Hong Yuye still hadn’t come out of her room.
It had been quite a while.
It might be dangerous for him to go to the conference alone.
The Bright Moon Sect was an immortal sect, and the other sects that were attending weren’t weak.
He was at the middle stage of the Soul Ascension Realm. He was considered only decent, but he would be a match for any of the seniors if it came to a fight.
With Hong Yuye by his side, many things would be easier.
‘It was supposed to be two days, but she’s been locked in for over twenty days.’ Jiang Hao was becoming concerned.
He used his spiritual sense to check. There was an aura behind the door.
He hesitated. He didn’t know whether to go in. ‘I’ll wait for two more days.’
Jiang Hao could only sit and wait in the inn.
He listened to the rumors to see if there were any new developments.
“In my opinion, we have the right to know. But the bright Moon Sect hasn’t said a word… It makes us lose faith in them.”
“The Bright Moon Sect is an immortal sect, and we should trust them. These are just rumors.”
“Are we choosing to believe in the rumors more than the Bright Moon Sect?”
“But the Bright Moon Sect hasn’t said a word, and I’m worried. They should at least explain or clarify things.”
“What do you think, fellow disciples?”
“It makes sense. I’ve been waiting for the Bright Moon Sect to clarify things, but they have been very quiet.”
Jiang Hao turned to look at the young man who was speaking. He initially expressed disbelief in the rumors, but later expressed his concern that the
Bright Moon Sect hadn’t clarified anything. It certainly made the Bright Moon Sect look suspicious.
‘He appears to be in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. But… his cultivation is somewhat inscrutable to me.’
At this point, the other person seemed infuriated. “I won’t say anything more. I’m going to go and ask about this whole thing.”
Jiang Hao appraised him.
Outside Star-Moon City, some people had gathered in a cave.
“The rumors have spread far and wide. Even the Bright Moon Sect can’t withstand such rumors. With people’s doubts in their faith, succeeding in the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment will be extremely difficult.” Someone let out a laugh.
“That’s not enough. When the disciple who is about to start the Foundation Establishment appears at the Dao Conference, we’ll make the people voice their doubts. By then, will the Bright Moon Sect still be able to complete the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment?”
“That’s still not enough. The Earth Extreme Heart Devouring Pearl has already been sent. When the Earth Extreme Heart Devouring Pearl disrupts the great luck, a little kid about to start the Foundation Establishment won’t be able to bear it.”
“The Saint Bandits are also keeping an eye on that little kid. Even if the Bright
Moon Sect manages to protect the child, they won’t be able to succeed with the
Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. ”
Succeeding in the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment was extremely difficult as it was. Any disturbance could easily lead to failure.
“By the way, where’s Lu Quan? Why hasn’t he come yet?”
“He went to the city to spread rumors.”
“Why would he do that?”
“Forget it. Let’s go and make sure he doesn’t get us into any trouble.”
A few people agreed. Just as they were about to leave, a man with a bottle of wine in hand walked into the cave with a smile.
“Done so soon? Aren’t you going to talk about it more? After all, we only heard a little.”
The others were shocked. “Run!”
However, just as they tried to flee, the whole cave collapsed, and a figure appeared in the sky in a radiant light.
“Why run? We’re all friends here. Sit down and talk. I love making new friends..”
