Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Upon learning about his task, Jiang Hao proceeded toward the prison cells.
Yin Zichen didn’t feel hopeless about his situation. His faith lay in finding the Heart of Five Elements. That was his last resort.
Once he lost that, he would lose all hope. It was impossible to make him surrender one of the Heart of Five Elements.
He drew closer to the prison, but he couldn’t bring himself to speak.
Yin Zichen, with disheveled hair, sat in the cell.
The arrival of Mu Longyu and Mi Lingyue attracted everyone’s attention.
Surprisingly, Zhang Yang was still present.
“Fellow disciple, you’ve finally come. I’ve been waiting for you for so long,” said Zhang Yang when he saw Jiang Hao.
“Senior, haven’t you returned to your sect yet?” asked Jiang Hao.
If the Sunset Immortal Sect came to redeem their member, there shouldn’t be any problem. Maybe they had chosen not to come get him.
Zhang Yang had quite a reputation, so the Sunset Immortal Sect wouldn’t just ignore him.
Moreover, despite its flaws, an immortal sect was still an immortal sect, and there were righteous people among them. There was nothing wrong with rescuing Zhang Yang.
“He refuses to leave until he sees you. He’s determined to stay here. Nobody in the tower can convince him otherwise,” said Nangong Yue.
At this point, Mu Longyu and Mi Lingyue also turned their attention to Jiang Hao.
They were speaking quietly with Hai Luo and didn’t expect Jiang Hao to be there as well.
In fact, Mu Longyu had heard that Jiang Hao held a high status on the fifth floor. But no matter how much he had heard about him, he couldn’t fully believe that this person could be so remarkable.
As for Zhang Yang, he had heard some things about him as well. He was known as a figure of pure virtue and a beacon of righteousness.
Jiang Hao sighed inwardly. Indeed, he felt sorry for this person. Everyone around watched quietly. They were curious to see what would happen.
After all, Zhang Yang was determined to stay, and no amount of persuasion would change his mind. Although they didn’t understand why, Jiang Hao had to compromise and make a promise.
Jiang Hao wasn’t concerned about that. He drew closer to Zhang Yang and whispered softly, “Senior, if you don’t return now, your cave might be occupied by your fellow sect members, and your place of seclusion…”
“Stop! Stop!” Before Jiang Hao could finish speaking, Zhang Yang shouted, “Help! Help! I want to leave. I want to leave. Get me out quickly.”
Now, Zhang Yang couldn’t wait to leave. He didn’t want to stay here for even a moment longer.
The people around him were taken aback.
Mu Longyu was shocked. Just a few words and the most stubborn disciple was ready to leave…
‘How did he do it?’
The prisoners’ shouts and screams couldn’t be heard outside. So, Jiang Hao went to find Senior Sister Yinsha for the old man.
She listened in confusion. She had asked for his help with Yin Zichen, not Zhang Yang.
Before Zhang Yang left, he glared at Jiang Hao as if to say, “You better not deceive me.”
“Don’t worry, Senior, ” said Jiang Hao. “Have a safe trip.”
It was only then that Zhang Yang felt relaxed enough to leave.
Senior Sister Yinsha was very curious about how Jiang Hao had managed to achieve this, but after cooperating for so long, she naturally wouldn’t ask him about it.
This wasn’t something that she could ask. If she did, he might not be willing to help her in the future.
They operated with mutual understanding and trust.
Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. He was concerned that Senior Sister Yinsha might ask him about it, but she didn’t.
While he could initially rely on luck and coincidence, he couldn’t do so now. He indeed had some extraordinary abilities, but he couldn’t tell anyone about it.
Thankfully, nobody asked any further questions. Everyone preferred to maintain things as they were at the present.
After that, Jiang Hao turned and walked to the other prison cell. This time, everyone looked at him differently.
Yin Zichen and Wu Yang were surprised. They had seen Zhang Yang’s stubbornness. This person had changed his mind so quickly. Even King Hai Luo was wary of this person.
“I’m sorry if that disturbed you, Senior,” Jiang Hao said to Mu Longyu.
“Not at all.” Mu Longyu shook his head.
Mi Lingyue glanced at Hai Luo. “Heavenly King Hai Luo, aren’t you even going to greet your fellow king?”
Hai Luo scoffed. “If not for this cell door protecting you, you wouldn’t be laughing at me. You two think you can scold me?”
“Hai Luo, you weren’t like this before.” Mu Longyu frowned slightly.
“I’ve had enough,” Mi Lingyue said. “Let him come over here. Then, Hai Luo will be more forthcoming.”
“If you could understand everything about me, I wouldn’t be a king here,” said Hai Luo. “Guess what I discovered in the Great Thousand God Sect and The End of All Things?”
Mi Lingyue asked, “What did you find?”
Jiang Hao paid no attention to the dispute and approached Yin Zichen.
He was thinking about how to make the other party speak up.
Yin Zichen instinctively tensed up when he saw Jiang Hao approach.
Before, he had wanted Jiang Hao to visit him, but now, he was nervous. He had found out something. Jiang Hao only visited this place under the orders of the Lawless Tower. If the tower didn’t instruct it, he wouldn’t bother.
“Little Friend, did you come to see me?” Yin Zichen asked.
Wu Yang noticed that Yin Zichen was nervous. Only those who had secrets seemed nervous when Jiang Hao approached them. It meant Yin Zichen had something to hide.
Hai Luo and the others watched.
Mi Lingyue pulled Mu Longyu along to watch the show.
This was the most interesting and crucial moment, especially since it tested the will of the powerful.
Would Yin Zichen falter, or would he remain composed?
Mu Longyu frowned but remained silent.
“Senior, are you from the Mountain Sea Sword Sect?” Jiang Hao asked.
He was unsure how to broach the topic.
“Yes. I guess you are here to ask me where the stolen thing is?” Yin Zichen chuckled. “I don’t have it. I didn’t steal it. Even if you hand me over to them, it won’t matter because I don’t know.”
“Ah, I see.” Jiang Hao lowered his head. “Would you tell me if you knew, Senior?”
Yin Zichen looked skeptical. “Of course, I would. Do you think I’m willingly waiting for death here?”
Jiang Hao looked at him in silence for a long time.
Finally, he reached out and made a gesture.
Yin Zichen was stunned, and others also became tense. The atmosphere changed instantly.
When Jiang Hao beckoned a prisoner, it was over for them.
Mu Longyu felt uneasy. He could sense that everyone was nervous, including Mi Lingyue. She gripped his arm tightly.
“What do you want to say to me?” Yin Zichen pretended to be calm.
“I just want to tell you a fact, Senior,” Jiang Hao said in surprise. “You’re the first person who is actually willing to listen to me.”
Then, he leaned closer and whispered, “Beneath the Chaos Stone Island, in the
Sunset Sword Tomb..
