Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In Madam Gong’s courtyard, Jiang Hao didn’t see Mi Lingyue and the old woman. They might have left already.
The woman had changed. She was elegantly dressed and looked very beautiful.
When she saw him approaching, her demeanor was different from before.
She didn’t show the same respect. She looked confused.
“It seems like you don’t recognize me anymore.” Jiang Hao pushed the door open and smiled.
In reality, her strength far exceeded his, and he should not be so disrespectful. However, the events from earlier had taught him not to appear weak, as it might affect their conversation.
Madam Gong sat in a chair. Her brows were furrowed. She genuinely couldn’t recognize the person in front of her.
“May I ask who you are?” she asked softly.
Jiang Hao sighed. “I’ll show you something. Perhaps it will help you remember.”
With that, he tossed a purple bead to her. “I’m returning this to its rightful owner.”
Madam Gong instinctively caught the object. Upon closer inspection, she saw the twisted figure within.
In that instant, she recalled the fear that had dominated her for centuries.
Her hands instinctively recoiled from the object, and she instinctively stepped back.
The dignified and elegant Madam Gong appeared disoriented.
“Oh? Don’t you want it back?” Jiang Hao smirked.
At that moment, Madam Gong finally realized who the person before her was. She stood up. “Senior, I have not given you a proper welcome. Please forgive me.”
“Please, don’t address me as a senior. I’m not that high in my cultivation realm,” Jiang Hao said.
He caught the pearl and asked, “If I were to unseal it, would the thing return to your body?”
Madam Gong’s face turned pale, and she trembled in fear. “Please forgive me, Senior.”
Jiang Hao decided to leave it at that, as the figure within the pearl started to struggle. It seemed to be yearning for its companion.
He put away the pearl and sat down with Hong Yuye. As for Madam Gong, he left her standing.
“I have a few questions to ask you,” Jiang Hao said.
“Please, Senior, go ahead,” Madam Gong said politely. She felt somewhat bitter
at this point because almost everyone who came to see her had questions.
It always depended on her mood to answer them. But today, she was the one standing and urging the other person to ask away.
The person appeared to be in Return to Void Realm. The thought of whether she could kill them crossed her mind.
Maybe it didn’t take a strong person to seal the thing that was inside her. Or…
the person might be lying that he did it.
Jiang Hao, though not a master of reading people’s minds, understood the frustration that strong individuals felt when they were being questioned by someone weaker than them. This could impact their interaction.
He turned to Hong Yuye. Before he could speak, she said, “September Spring.”
“Of course,” Jiang Hao said quickly.
If she was willing to help him, everything would be much easier.
He was clearly here to fulfill her mission, but it still seemed like he was asking for a favor.
Strong individuals truly didn’t follow logic.
Madam Gong was thinking about what to do when the next question caught her off guard.
“Madam Gong, have you ever considered how insignificant you are?” asked Jiang Hao calmly.
‘Insignificant?’
The question was quite odd, and she wasn’t sure how to answer it. She had faced challenges along her path, and even in the most desperate situations, she had always tried to save herself.
She didn’t really feel insignificant.
“Look to the sky.” A sudden voice resonated in her mind.
Instinctively, she raised her head to look at the sky.
At that moment, a tremendous presence gathered in the heavens.
The sun and the moon trembled. The stars shattered.
This vast and boundless aura brimmed with the power of destruction. It descended upon her.
Fear consumed her as her own strength felt as insignificant as dust in the face of this overwhelming power.
She heard a deafening roar!
The entire Seven-Day Village shook.
Mi Lingyue and the old woman, who had been about to leave, turned back instinctively.
In the sky above the Seven-Day Village, stars appeared, and all things converged as if the entire village was on the brink of destruction.
Even though they didn’t know why, the two dared not linger and hastened their steps.
Outside, the Island Master waited in anticipation. He felt an unparalleled power enveloping the entire Chaos Stone Island. The terrifying feeling made him shiver.
Next to him, Jing Fengyun trembled in fear.
Further away, the sea surged, and a storm approached.
Everyone looked around with a sense of dread.
The man who had given Jiang Hao two thousand spirit stones watched all of this unfold. He thought of Smiling San Sheng.
Inside the Seven-Day Village, Madam Gong experienced the most profound thing of all. Even before the aura reached her, she couldn’t endure it any longer.
She fell to the ground. She was overwhelmed by the powerful force.
“Please… Please forgive me,” she pleaded in a trembling voice.
Fear, dread, despair, and regret…
All sorts of emotions overwhelmed her.
“May I ask you a few questions now?” Jiang Hao asked politely. He was respectful toward her.
“I will tell you everything I know, Senior,” said Madam Gong in fear.
In the next moment, the aura vanished.
Madam Gong kept her head bowed and dared not raise it. This time, she finally understood the power it took to take the creature away from her.
Jiang Hao looked at Hong Yuye. He had just witnessed her aura that had almost destroyed the entire Seven-Day Village.
Was the commotion a bit too loud?
“Pour the tea,” Hong Yuye said.
Jiang Hao didn’t hesitate. He couldn’t help but wonder if such a massive aura was needed to intimidate Madam Gong.
He brushed the thoughts aside and asked his questions.
“How much do you know about Heavenly King Taomu Xiu as a member of The End of All Things?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Heavenly King Taomu?” Madam Gong was surprised by this question. She thought he would ask about some major secrets.
“Taomu Xiu became a Heavenly King after joining The End of All Things. Although he’s one of the members, he has his own ideals and doesn’t care about whether his actions align with the organization’s interests.”
“The reason he joined The End of All Things was that he was harassed by fellow villagers when he was an ordinary person. His wife and children died as a result. After he joined a sect, he was harassed by his fellow disciples, and his partner also died because of him.”
“When he joined overseas forces, he faced harassment again, and his beloved died for him. After that, his feelings changed dramatically, and he began to kill on a grand scale. He joined The End of All Things, and countless people died at his hands. He wanted to judge all the evil he suffered, and his verdict was just one thing: death.”
“Later, he successfully competed for the position of Heavenly King, and his killings continued. The sea domain under his jurisdiction turned red overnight, and he killed many members of The End of All Things as well. Heavenly King
Taomu is also known as the Judgment Heavenly King.”
“He cannot tolerate harassment and is a very radical person. However, he holds a significant position within The End of All Things and knows its secrets.” Jiang Hao sighed. He didn’t think he would have been able to withstand such tragedy either..
