Jiang Hao stood where he was without saying a word.
Hong Yuye continued to polish the peach in her hand. After a while, she finally said, “The dragon pearl on Xiao Li’s body is related to her.”
“How?” Jiang Hao asked.
Even though he had appraised it, he was still unclear about it. All he knew was that it was Xiao Li’s dragon pearl.
“The aura is similar, but it’s not innate. It’s a result of acquired influence,” Hong Yuye explained as she placed the peach on the table and took another one to start wiping. “That dragon pearl must have been with Xiao Li since her birth.
It protects her and provides her with some power.” “Was it left for her by her family?” Jiang Hao asked.
Hong Yuye nodded.
After some thought, Jiang Hao asked, “The dragon pearl is a crucial item, right?
Can a dragon leave its dragon pearl?”
“They can, but it has an effect. Normally, a dragon won’t give its own dragon pearl to a kid,” Hong Yuye said.
“They won’t? That’s surprising. So, it’s likely that Xiao Li came here to escape,” Jiang Hao said.
Jiang Hao wanted to ask for more details, but Hong Yuye fell silent. With no other choice, he began to talk about the gathering. There had been two gatherings so far, so he needed to report from the first one. The first gathering discussed the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl. Jiang Hao was waiting for Hong Yuye to ask, but she didn’t.
“Go on,” Hong Yuye said.
“Senior, the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl is nearby, and it’s an extremely
valuable item,” Jiang Hao said.
Hong Yuye stared at Jiang Hao. “Are you suggesting that I should retrieve it?”
“It would be beneficial, so we shouldn’t miss this opportunity,” Jiang Hao said in a low voice.
Things like that would eventually be taken away. If it came into contact with The End of All Things, they might erupt on the spot. It was better to seal it in advance.
Only Hong Yuye was capable of doing it. If the immortal sect came for it, they might destroy the demonic sect in passing.
“When you saw the Xuanyuan Sword, did you ever consider asking me to come over?” Hong Yuye asked.
Jiang Hao was taken aback. He realized that he hadn’t thought about it before. Perhaps Hong Yuye was not the type of person to be swayed by such things.
Jiang Hao thought of himself as young and full of energy, and Hong Yuye was different.
However, they both had similarities. Neither showed off and shouldered their responsibilities.
Thus, it was difficult to consider such matters when encountering divine objects.
Another reason was that divine objects did not affect him.
“You never thought of me when you saw the divine object? Do you only think of me when you see unlucky objects tainted by misfortune?” Hong Yuye smiled mockingly.
Jiang Hao thought for a moment. “Senior, your cultivation reaches the heavens. Even if dangerous items remain in your hands, they will become divine objects. When that time comes, wherever you go, no one would dare to defy you.”
Hong Yuye chuckled.
Jiang Hao had expected this and kept praising her.
He told her about the Xuanyuan Sword, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe’s Techniques, the Astronomical Academy’s search for their senior, the events related to Shang An, and so on.
Hong Yuye remained uninterested in all of them.
Then, he talked about the second gathering.
He had completed the mission of finding people for Gui and Liu and informed them about the rewards. Hong Yuye still showed no interest in it.
She just wiped the peaches.
“Senior, I am done,” Jiang Hao said.
“Did Shang An come to find you?” Hong Yuye asked.
“I’m not sure.” Jiang Hao shook his head.
“Didn’t you seal the one he loves in the Corpse Realm? Will he come for revenge?” Hong Yuye placed the second peach on the table.
“He might not,” Jiang Hao said.
Indeed, Shang An didn’t seem like the type to seek revenge.
“What about you?” Hong Yuye asked absentmindedly. “If someone seals your beloved, will you seek revenge?”
“I don’t have a beloved,” Jiang Hao said.
“But what if you did?” Hong Yuye asked.
“Then, I won’t allow her to be sealed,” Jiang Hao said firmly.
“What if your cultivation realm can’t prevent it from happening?” Hong Yuye asked.
“Then, I won’t have a partner in the first place,” Jiang Hao said with determination.
Hong Yuye looked at him without saying another word.
Late at night, a slight chill spread through the air.
“What’s your cultivation realm?” Hong Yuye asked.
“Middle of the Golden Core Realm,” said Jiang Hao.
Hong Yuye raised her head and looked at the moon in the sky. She then turned to him.
“Come here.”
Jiang Hao stepped forward with some concern.
At that moment, Hong Yuye stood up right in front of Jiang Hao.
She reached out and placed her hand on his chest.
“Remember, next time… take care of my flower,” she said.
As her words fell, he was unable to move, and the world before his eyes seemed to warp.
A colossal hand that covered the sky and the earth approached from a distance. It crossed mountains and seas and caused the entire area to tremble.
And he was the target of this massive hand.
If he got closer, he would be obliterated.
Before he could react, the palm struck him.
Boom!
Jiang Hao felt disoriented. It took some time for him to recover.
Only then did he realize that he had crashed into a wall. It didn’t hurt much, but it was enough to give him a scare.
‘I’ll leave the beast in the courtyard next time.’
This way, he wouldn’t have to worry about the flower.
By this time, Hong Yuye had already left. Jiang Hao also wanted to rest.
As he passed by the table and chairs, he noticed a peach on top of it.
He remembered that Hong Yuye had wiped two peaches clean.
He picked up the peach and took a bite. It was exceptionally sweet.
The more the tree went through incarnation, the tastier the peaches became.
Many people had gathered at the Law Enforcement Hall.
They were in Foundation Establishment Realm, Golden Core Realm, Primordial Spirit Realm, Soul Ascension Realm, and even Return to Void Realm. Many were present.
Moreover, some even stronger individuals stood in the shadows.
At the very top, a middle-aged man with a stern face and a deep voice said, “During this period, many things have happened in our sect, with the most serious being the matter of Qian Chen. We must resolve this matter before the Peak Master returns. Find all the individuals related to Qian Chen who were involved and bring them to the Law Enforcement Hall. If they’re missing, use the Heavenly Essence Soul Modeling Mirror to find them. If they’ve been captured, bring them here. If they’ve sought refuge elsewhere, retrieve them at all costs. Regardless of their cultivation realm, no one should be exempt. Even if they’ve gone to the ends of the earth, dig them out. This matter is of utmost importance, not only to the Law Enforcement Hall but also to the twelve branches of the sect. The disciples from all twelve branches will cooperate with you. Investigate and ensure that anyone involved in this matter faces punishment from the sect. As for how you do it, it’s up to you. I only care about results.”
Everyone nodded.
Then, they dispersed to begin their investigations.
Among them, there was a person holding a list with a frown on his face.
“Jiang Hao of the Cliff of Broken Hearts?” said a person beside him as he read the list and sighed.
“Use the secret technique to find Senior Brother Liu.”
“But Senior Brother Liu said not to contact him for a while. He said he’s going into seclusion,” said a woman.
“Senior Liu informed me that if there were any important matters related to Jiang Hao at the Law Enforcement Hall, he wanted to be notified by using the secret technique. Don’t worry too much about it and just send him a message,” said the man.
“Alright.”
After a while, a trembling figure emerged from the Blood Pool.
A pair of eyes opened in the darkness..
