“By the way, there’s something I need to tell you, Senior Brother Jiang. During the recent trip outside, I heard a lot of people talking about the Blood Wish Path.” Cheng Chou hesitated for a moment.
“What is it?” Jiang Hao asked.
“They said you are practicing the Blood Wish Path, and there was an incident related to it in an area outside. It happened in the last few months. Many people believe that you are attempting to break through to the Golden Core Realm using the Blood Wish Path. If it were just the people within the sect, it wouldn’t be a big deal. But the problem is that the Blackheaven Sect, the Sunset Immortal Sect, and other sects have received news about you practicing the Blood Wish Path. Now, in their eyes, you are a bloodthirsty demon who has committed an unforgivable sin. They might start a crusade against you,” Cheng Chou said.
Jiang Hao lowered his head. “When did this incident happen?”
“It was around the end of April, near the location of the sects,” Cheng Chou said.
‘End of April.’
Jiang Hao remembered that he was still within the sect at that time. He left in early May.
But who would care about that? The demonic sect didn’t care if it was him or not. They just believed it to be true.
The immortal sects wouldn’t have anyone to vouch for or against him either. So, there was nothing more to be said.
Once something happened, and if someone popped up who matched the description, it was a done deal.
‘Were there any good people left in the Heavenly Note Sect?’ Jiang Hao smiled self-deprecatingly. He was indeed no saint, but there were certain things he hadn’t done.
“Do you think you might need to explain things, Senior Brother Jiang?” Cheng Chou asked.
“Explain?” Jiang Hao shook his head and chuckled. “No need to worry about them. It’s their business how they feel.”
Explanation would be of no use. Since these people had already made up their minds, there was no changing it.
Everyone had to pay the price for their actions.
Whether it was him or them, they had to take responsibility for their deeds and their words.
Furthermore, an explanation could never dispel their suspicions.
He was, after all, a disciple of a demonic sect. There was no need for him to defend himself.
They wouldn’t dare to barge into the sect, and it didn’t matter how they tried to attack from outside.
“There’s one more thing,” Cheng Chou said. “Senior Brother Jiang, did you go to the Sea Fog Cave before? It seems that something has happened there, and they want you to confirm something.”
‘The Sea Fog Cave had problems?’ This surprised Jiang Hao.
The next day, he talked with the people from the Law Enforcement Hall and then followed a senior brother who had reached the Golden Core Realm to the Sea Fog Cave. On the way, they also found several juniors who had previously visited the cave:
Ji Bian from the Law Enforcement Hall.
Wu Shi from the Thunder Fire Peak.
Qiao Xiu from the Hundred Bones Forest.
All of them were surprised to see Jiang Hao and wondered why he had returned.
Soon, they arrived at the Sea Fog Cave. Normally, the poisonous mist would have extended much further, but when they arrived at the stone tablet, there was no trace of the sea fog.
“Now, let’s confirm it again. Is this where you all stopped last time?” The senior brother at the Golden Core Realm looked at everyone.
‘The sea fog retreated?’ This was unexpected for Jiang Hao.
However, he thought it was unlikely that the people from the Thunder Fire Peak had come here and dispelled it. The Thunder Fire Peak disciples would not have brought them here if that were the case.
“Senior Brother Jiang, what happened here?” Ji Bian asked. They clearly remembered that there was poisonous fog in this area.
“In recent times, probably within the last month, I don’t know why, but the sea fog suddenly receded. We’re not sure where it has gone for now,” the senior at the Golden Core Realm said.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao was surprised. ‘Within the last month?’
Could it be the influence of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment?
He was concerned. Usually, anything that could be influenced by the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment was not ordinary. The Sea Fog Cave was not safe.
“Should we go inside and check?” Qiao Xiu suddenly asked.
Jiang Hao silently took a step back and intended to leave this place.
After all, it was not a sect mission, and he was not obliged to take any risks, especially since he had seen a figure here before.
The Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl had been affected by the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, and now, even the poisonous fog here had been affected.
Although the two couldn’t be equated, they were somewhat similar.
Ordinary poisonous fog wouldn’t be so greatly affected. The Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment needed to maintain balance, so it couldn’t suppress everything.
“What do you think, Junior Brother Jiang?” the Golden Core Realm senior asked.
“I think it’s better to leave it to the seniors who are more suitable to investigate this matter,” Jiang Hao respectfully said.
“In that case, let’s go back.” The senior at the Golden Core Realm also didn’t want to take any risks.
Before leaving, Jiang Hao looked at the stone tablet. The only text left on it now were the three characters, “Heavenly Note Sect.”
The sentence in the language of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe had disappeared. Jiang Hao didn’t speak and began to retreat. He knew that there was probably some powerful creature here, but it couldn’t be left at will.
The Heavenly Note Sect had too many mysteries.
The mining site, Devil’s Den, and now, the Sea Fog Cave.
The Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl was found in Devil’s Den. Other treasures might be in the mines. But he wasn’t certain. So far, only the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl was in his hands, and he could confirm the existence of some sinister creature inside.
As he returned to the Spirit Herb Garden, Jiang Hao planned to find an opportunity to go to the Lawless Tower and ask the seniors there about the situation in the Sea Fog Cave.
They had been there for quite some time, so they should have made some discoveries.
In the evening, he arrived at the Lawless Tower and inquired with the guard at the gate.
“The Sea Fog Cave?” The senior in the black robe frowned slightly. “The situation is not good.”
This surprised Jiang Hao. If the people of the Lawless Tower felt that the situation was bad, then it must be very bad.
Soon, he got his answer.
“Disappeared?!” Jiang Hao exclaimed.
“Yes, Senior Sister Yinsha led a group inside, but afterward, she disappeared. Although we are still trying to find her, there has been no news for several months,” said the senior brother in the black robe.
Jiang Hao had met her before. She was one of the few people he had interacted with the most.
“But they should not be in immediate danger, at least for now,” the senior brother in the black robe said.
Jiang Hao nodded.
He really didn’t want anything to happen to the senior sister because she was the one he was most familiar with.
If she were to remain in the Lawless Tower, it would provide some assurance for his future visits.
Moreover, her status and position were not low, and she was easy to communicate with. Such people were not easy to come by.
He arrived in front of Zhuang Yuzhen. He couldn’t think of any way he could be of any help to him.
“Senior, you are still in the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm!” Jiang Hao was surprised to see that Zhuang Yuzhen was the same.
Even after being here for so long, Zhuang Yuzhen could maintain his cultivation. It was truly remarkable.
“He can stay here because of my silver tongue. Otherwise, he would have been gone long ago,” said Hai Luo, the Heavenly King, with a sneer.
“You brat! You flatter yourself too much.” Zhuang Yuzhen chuckled.
Jiang Hao looked at Heavenly King Hao Luo in puzzlement.
The value that Hai Luo provided should have been long gone. The people from overseas who had been captured had been released after their kin had paid their ransom.
So, why was Heavenly King Hai Luo still here?
“Did no one pay your ransom?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Ransom? What a joke! Do you think I can’t leave willingly? I’m just bored and playing around. I’m not stuck here!” Hai Luo sneered.
“Let me ask you a question. How much do you know about the Heavenly Spirit Tribe?” Jiang Hao suddenly asked because he remembered the writing in the
Sea Fog Cave, especially that one sentence..
