Chapter 922: The Master’s Mercy....
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the fifth floor of the Lawless Tower, Mu Longyu was still trying to persuade the Heavenly King Hai Luo.
“I feel like throwing up every time I see your face now,” said King Hai Luo coldly.
“You better be sensible, Hai Luo, or I’ll take action,” Mu Longyu said icily.
“Go ahead and kill me then. You’ve experienced less than me. If you had the same experiences as me, I could defeat you with my little finger.”
“What Hai Luo means is that he’s not your opponent right now, but if he was, and you were at the same level as him, he could defeat you,” said Mi Lingyue.
Bang!
Man Gu banged on the cell wall.
“Come out!” Man Gu roared. He was filled with hate and resentment.
He couldn’t understand, but he didn’t want to think about it now. He wanted to ask that person what he had done.
But that person simply didn’t appear.
They were doing it on purpose. They were torturing him on purpose…
“Don’t struggle. Hai Luo’s Master usually visits after a few days once that is done. As long as he doesn’t appear, you can feel relieved. It means he wouldn’t do anything. If, later, you don’t behave properly, then that’s another matter,” said Mi Lingyue.
“Do you mean that Jiang Mao won’t immediately tell the sect what he might have found on us?” asked the lantern bearer.
“Yes. King Hai Lui’s Master is separate from the Lawless Tower. The Lawless Tower won’t make him do anything he doesn’t want to. They have mutual understanding,” said Mi Lingyue.
“Junior Brother Jiang is even more extraordinary than I thought,” said the lantern bearer.
“He has someone behind him,” Bing Qing said in a low voice.
Mi Lingyue didn’t say anything anymore. They didn’t know if someone was behind Jiang Hao.
Even if there was someone, what could they do?
They didn’t know who the person behind Jiang Hao was, but it was evident that someone was supporting him.
It also meant that they couldn’t offend Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao remained the Master of the fifth floor.
Was he a puppet? What if he wasn’t?
“Come out!” Man Gu roared again. His voice was hoarse.
But he kept yelling.
No one knew why he was so agitated.
“Who are you calling?” a black-robed woman asked.
She held a box in her hands and looked down at Man Gu.
At first, Man Gu was so arrogant, but he was like a poor dog at the moment. He barked and begged.
Whatever method Jiang Hao used was terrifying.
“I want to see him. Please let me meet that Golden Core Realm cultivator. Otherwise, I won’t say anything. I won’t tell you anything unless I see him. Let him come here, and we can discuss everything,” Man Gu said.
“Junior Brother Jiang is busy, but he sent you something. He said that when you see it, you might not feel so agitated,” said the black-robed woman.
When he saw the box, Man Gu instinctively stepped back.
He was fearful.
The crowd sighed. They seemed to see their own past.
Back then, Jiang Hao had beckoned to them.
Whenever he did that, they got extremely worried.
But there was nothing they could do.
“I… I want to see him. I don’t want to see the box.” Man Gu stared at the woman in the black robe pleadingly.
“I’m just here to deliver something. It’s useless to tell me this. Junior Brother Jiang said he was busy. Whether you open this or not is up to you,” said the black-robed woman.
No matter how Man Gu shouted, it was useless.
Everyone looked at Man Gu.
Everyone was curious about what was inside the box and wanted to know how Man Gu would react after seeing it.
“Fellow friend, don’t be afraid. Hai Luo’s Master won’t do something very extreme. Otherwise, do you think King Hai Luo would dare to speak so loudly here?” said Zhuang Yuzhen.
“Old bastard, do you think I’m like you? I don’t fear that Golden Core Realm cultivator,” said Hai Luo.
Mi Lingyue also said, “Friend Man Gu, just take a look.”
It was sent by Jiang Hao, so even Mu Longyu wouldn’t dare to check.
Man Gu stared at the box and hesitated. He finally picked up the box.
His hands trembled.
His breath became ragged. He knew he would see something terrifying.
He couldn’t figure out what it could be.
Crack!
The box was opened. He saw a few strands of braided hair.
When he saw it, Man Gu froze.
He knelt weakly on the ground.
Man Gu’s eyes were wet with tears, and he started weeping.
He cried loudly as though releasing years of repressed sorrows.
Others didn’t understand what had happened at all, but they realized Jiang Hao was still the Master of the fifth floor.
His status and position never shook.
“I’ll talk. I’ll tell you everything,” said Man Gu as he choked with tears. “What do you want to know? I’ll tell you everything. Everything!”
The lantern bearer listened in disbelief. He felt that the fifth floor of the Lawless Tower was controlled by an invisible hand.
Everyone seemed to appear in the palm of that hand.
There was no escape.
Yinsha and the black-robed woman were shocked.
But no one knew what had happened.
Man Gu’s interrogation had come to an end.
At the Cliff of Broken Hearts, Jiang Hao found out the news of the Lawless Tower.
Man Gu had confessed.
He didn’t care anymore.
He couldn’t go and find Feng Hua anyway. He would let the people of the sect do it.
If Feng Hua were caught one day, she would also be kept on the fifth floor.
Then, he could try to get information from her.
As for her avatar in the Sunset Immortal Sect, he hadn’t paid attention to it for a long time.
He could check it when he had time.
Three days later, people from the Heavenly Saint Sect arrived.
Their arrival would definitely lead to something big, and Jiang Hao didn’t want any conflict with them.
On that day, Bi Zhu also reached.
She requested to see Jiang Hao.
He welcomed her in his courtyard.
“Hello, Junior Brother Jiang. It’s been so long since we met you,” said Bi Zhu.
“Greetings, Senior Sister,” said Jiang Hao.
Bi Zhu smiled.
“I’m here for something.”
Jiang Hao understood. She was here for the Sage’s Pages.
If she didn’t take them, the words on them would disappear soon.
After collecting the things, Bi Zhu said, “There’s something I need to tell you, Junior Brother. Old Man Corpse Sea has reached the Hidden Cloud Prefecture. He is very strong. He might come to the Heavenly Note Sect. So, be careful…”
After all, a slight danger could make the pearls explode.
She was only eighteen and didn’t want to die because of someone else’s negligence.
Jiang Hao sighed inwardly. It seemed that Old Man Corpse Sea had made up his mind.
He wondered if that would bring about a big change.
