1441 These People Are Too Devious
After entering the underground area, he sensed his surroundings for a mont before locking onto Tian Xun's location.
As Nie Jin and the others threw the beast carcasses into the River of Deathly Silence, Tian Xun's condition beca much better than before.
It was not as easy to lock onto the target.
Fortunately, it only took a little more ti, and the impact was not that huge.
This ti, he used Gu Jin's identity.
"You've finally co. I've been looking for you for a long ti," Tian Xun said.
"Why were you looking for ?" Jiang Hao asked with a smile. "Is it to throw more demonic beasts into the river? I rember they've been doing that continuously."
"Demonic beasts are inferior to humans. At one point, I sensed that soone fell into the river—humans make the best supplents," Tian Xun said.
Jiang Hao shook his head. "That's a bit difficult. This place isn't a lawless area. It's not easy to kill soone and throw them in."
"I want to ask you sothing," said Tian Xun.
"Is it about the challenge?" Jiang Hao asked.
The only thing that would interest Tian Xun was Smiling San Sheng.
"Do you know him?" Tian Xun looked at Jiang Hao. "It was because of him that you ca to ask about the Heavenly Blade, right? It was no wonder you looked puzzled back then. Smiling San Sheng holds no fear toward the Master of the East Heavenly Pole."
"Is that really so strange?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Strange? It's more than strange. In my era, only one person dared to rise above and had no such fear," Tian Xun said.
"Who was it?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Do you still rember what I told you before?" Tian Xun asked.
"About what?" Jiang Hao had no idea.
"If the Eastern Sky exists, why need the Sky of Despair?" Tian Xun lowered his head and sighed.
Jiang Hao seed to grasp sothing and asked. "Is that sohow related to the Heavenly Extre Emperor?"
"Rumor had it that there was soone else who could have fought ," Tian Xun said. "It's said that the Heavenly Extre Emperor had a disciple who had supposedly mastered the seventh form but suddenly disappeared as though he had never existed. I don't know the exact details, but in that era, no disciple of the Heavenly Extre Emperor ever made a na for themselves,"
Jiang Hao was a little surprised. After a while, he asked, "If the Heavenly Extre Emperor was so powerful, how did he die?"
Logically, soone like that would not die unless their ti had co.
But if the Master of the East Heavenly Pole was still alive, how was it that the Heavenly Extre Emperor was dead?
"I don't know…" Tian Xun shook his head.
He was not entirely the Master of the East Heavenly Pole. He was only a shadow of his forr self. So, he did not rember much of that era.
Jiang Hao did not ask anything further.
What happened in those eras did not have much of an impact on him.
He was just curious about the experts in different eras.
"What kind of person is he?" Tian Xun asked.
"Smiling San Sheng?" Jiang Hao asked. "Senior, do you know about the Twelve Heavenly Kings?"
Tian Xun shook his head. "No."
"Then, I'll keep it simple. Smiling San Sheng is known as the greatest of all ti," said Jiang Hao. "He's called the number one in history."
"Number one in history? How dare he? What has he done to claim that title?" Tian Xun asked with so disdain.
What kind of person dared to claim the title of being the number one through the ages?
"What has he done?" Jiang Hao smiled and said, "How about leading the Twelve Heavenly Kings and the Twelve Seas to ascend to immortality?"
"Impressive, but does that alone justify the title of the greatest of all ti?" Tian Xun did not seem convinced.
The other party did not know about the Twelve Heavenly Kings, so he could not explain it clearly.
After hesitating, Jiang Hao added, "How about reaching the late stage of the True Immortal Realm within five years of ascending to immortality?"
Tian Xun was a little surprised.
"Is that too slow?" Jiang Hao asked. "Or does that not justify the title of the greatest of all ti? If not, then there's nothing more."
Tian Xun looked at the person before him and did not speak for a mont.
Reaching the late stage of True Immortal Realm in five years?
"Senior, how much of a chance do you think Smiling San Sheng has in winning?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Twenty percent…" said Tian Xun after a thought. "Although he's fearless, there's still a significant gap in strength and experience. But I'm curious… What was that thing he took out?"
"That's a question for you, Senior. After all, you are the Master of the East Heavenly Pole. What could tempt you?" Jiang Hao asked.
However, Tian Xun could not think of an answer. There was nothing that could tempt him.
Jiang Hao then asked about the River of Deathly Silence.
He needed to know if the River of Deathly Silence would disappear after Smiling San Sheng's challenge.
Tian Xun's answer was simple.
The East Heavenly Pole had appeared in this place and would disappear from here. It had nothing to do with the River of Deathly Silence unless sothing unexpected happened.
"What if soone took the East Heavenly Pole away?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Take away the East Heavenly Pole?" Tian Xun laughed. "Even the Heavenly Extre Emperor didn't dare to be so arrogant. Even if powerful experts like him exist in today's era, defeating is all they can hope for. There's no way they can take the East Heavenly Pole away."
Jiang Hao thought for a mont. Would the Immortals try force, or sothing else?
"What if the East Heavenly Pole is willing to leave?" he asked after so hesitation.
"I don't know." Tian Xun shook his head. "If the East Pole went willingly, it would an the entire sky would leave. Whether the River of Deathly Silence will be withdrawn depends on how clear-headed the Master of the East Heavenly Pole is."
Jiang Hao nodded.
It seed that their team would have to wait until after Smiling San Sheng's challenge to deal with the river.
If the river simply vanished, there would be no need for further observation.
They talked for a while more. Tian Xun mostly asked about the current affairs of the world outside and about Smiling San Sheng.
He wanted to et this expert.
He hoped that Jiang Hao could help him.
Jiang Hao shook his head and told him that it was beyond his ability.
After a while, Jiang Hao left.
Tian Xun knew a lot of things, but there were also significant gaps in his knowledge.
The Heavenly Extre Emperor might not have been human, but he cared for all beings under heaven.
Jiang Hao wondered who was stronger between him and the Human Emperor.
So eras always produced remarkable figures.
Gu Jin was one of them. Unfortunately, he had never fully grown before getting trapped in the cage of his own making.
He still could not escape.
Jiang Hao did not visit the Blood Pool often. He feared Gu Jin's evil side would erge.
He would be in danger if that happened.
At that mont, Jiang Hao woke up in front of the wooden house.
He had learned enough and could focus on cultivation.
The next day, Cheng Chou ca running.
"Senior Brother, there are many rumors circulating in the sect."
That was normal. Jiang Hao wondered why he looked so panicked.
Cheng Chou imdiately said, "The rumors say that you were the one who killed the Soul Ascension Realm cultivators, and you are the one who's hiding your cultivation realm. They also say that you are at the Soul Ascension Realm and not soone to be ssed with. Since those people insulted you, they naturally ended up dead, especially when this area is technically outside the sect."
Jiang Hao was at a loss for words.
How did this happen?
How had he suddenly beco a Soul Ascension Realm expert without doing anything?
In an instant, he understood the reason.
The powerful figure lurking in the shadows had driven those three to paranoia, and they were constantly looking for ways to deal with the situation.
The three of them, with guilty consciences, sat together and naturally pushed him, who had done nothing, into the spotlight.
This tactic…
It was even dirtier than him.
It was even dirtier than his own.
Teaming up with these people definitely had its downsides.
It was easy for him to beco the center of attention.
After all, those three would do whatever it took to make him stand out so that they remained invisible.
