Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Baizhi accepted the ssage and read it.
Her eyes narrowed. She then passed the ssage to the woman in the black robe.
The black-robed woman was surprised. “Dealing with a spy?
Baizhi nodded. “What kind of spy would warrant the use of the Inner-Heart Platform?”
“I’ll find out more about this,” said the black-robed woman, and left.
Baizhi sat quietly in the courtyard. Her hair swayed gently in the breeze.
After a while, the black-robed woman returned. “I’ve found out the details.” Baizhi looked at her. “So, what’s the situation?”
“A mber of the Law Enforcent Hall suspects an inner sect disciple. They used the Heavenly Essence Soul Modeling Mirror to see what the person has been up to. However, they couldn’t see anything in the reflection. It seems the suspect might have a treasure that blocks the effect of the mirror, or they might be in an imnsely high cultivation realm. They tried to gather more information but didn’t get much. The Law Enforcent Hall concluded that the person might really be a spy from so other place. Since the person is likely to have a valuable treasure, they need to restrict their movents, so they want to use the Inner-Heart Platform.”
Baizhi chuckled. “It is no wonder they rushed to report it. They are worried this person might be too powerful and can’t imagine what they must be capable of. They can’t afford to bear the consequences if the person ends up doing sothing. ”
It all boiled down to one fact: the opponent might be exceptionally strong. The black-robed woman nodded. “What do you suggest, Elder Baizhi?”
“Who discovered this person?” Baizhi asked.
“The Law Enforcent Hall’s Liu Xingchen.”
Baizhi nodded. “Let them pick the ti of action. You can follow them.”
The black-robed woman nodded.
Baizhi watched her leave.
Finding traitors and spies hadn’t been going well lately. She needed to catch a strong spy to find out more about why they were targeting the sect.
It would be best if the person actually was a spy. If not, they could still question the suspect about the treasure.
The person might really be powerful if they were able to block the effect of the mirror.
Catching them could still yield so clues.
Even if they were exceptionally powerful, there might still be room for negotiation.
However, that was unlikely. Otherwise, the Law Enforcent Hall wouldn’t be this desperate.
After dealing with the spirit herbs, Jiang Hao went to find the senior who had allowed him to plant his spirit herbs. He inford him of the ruined herbs.
The senior looked puzzled but didn’t ask anything further.
Clearly, so rumors might have spread about the garden.
Jiang Hao didn’t mind. Right now, he needed to protect himself.
He didn’t know when Gu Qing would make her move. He had no idea about Liu Xingchen’s progress in the investigation.
The only solution was to find ways to avoid danger.
As he left the Spirit Herb Garden, he heard a voice call for him from behind.
“Senior Brother Jiang, wait!”
Jiang Hao turned. His heart sank when he saw Gu Qing running toward him.
He wanted to flee. If she attacked him here, he would definitely die.
The gap in their strengths was too vast. He couldn’t fight back even if he wanted to.
He reined in his fear and squeezed out a smile. “Junior Sister Gu, is there sothing you need?”
“Senior Brother Jiang, you are leaving?” Gu Qing asked.
“Yes. I’m going to the outer sect for a while, then I’ll return to cultivate.”
“I’ll also get back to work, but I have sothing I need to ask you, Senior Brother Jiang. Will you be free tonight? I’ll find you after I’m done here. I can’t ask you here because… it’s a little personal.” Gu Qing lowered her head and blushed.
Jiang Hao smiled. “Sure. I’ll wait for you tonight then.”
Gu Qing happily jumped up and smiled. “Then, Senior Brother, please wait for tonight.”
Jiang Hao nodded and watched as Gu Qing returned to the Spirit Herb Garden.
Jiang Hao turned and left. His face darkened.
He arrived at the outer sect area.
“Master, why are you here?” asked the spirit beast.
At the sa ti, the beast gestured to Xiao Li to be quiet.
“Senior Brother Jiang…” Xiao Li looked nervous.
Jiang Hao knew at a glance that they must have been up to sothing shady again.
He glared at them and instructed the spirit beast to not leave Xiao Li’s side tonight.
The spirit beast looked disappointed. It was probably thinking about the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.
Now that Xiao Li and the spirit beast were out of the way, he went to visit Cheng Chou. He asked him about the progress and told him not to return to the Spirit Herb Garden for a while.
After that, he headed straight for the Lawless Tower.
Tonight, he intended to stay there.
As soon as Jiang Hao arrived at the fifth floor, he heard the voice of the Heavenly King.
“You little b*tch, how dare you shout at ? A re early-stage Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator! You are about to drop into the Golden Core Realm. In a few days, you’ll be demoted to the fourth floor.”
Jiang Hao walked in.
The ones who had been quarreling turned their attention to him.
When Hai Luo saw Jiang Hao, he beca quieter.
“Was I speaking too loudly just now? I admit I got a bit carried away. It’s okay as long as it’s quiet now, right?”
Jiang Hao was speechless.
Mi Lingyue, on the other hand, was puzzled.
“Foundation Establishnt kid, what did you say to him? How did you make the headstrong Heavenly King submit like this? Why don’t you tell , and I’ll exchange a thing or two with you? I can give you techniques, spells, and so alchemy, forging, or talisman-making thods. I can tell you all about it.”
Jiang Hao was surprised. He didn’t expect her to know about alchemy, forging, and talisman-making.
“Do you know about formations?” he asked curiously.
“I only know a little bit about formations.” Mi Lingyue shook her head.
‘Just a little?’
Jiang Hao thought about it and decided not to embarrass himself.
After that, he sat in front of Zhuang Yuzhen and asked him about so matters related to the Corpse Realm.
He inford Zhuang Yuzhen that the Heavenly Note Sect hadn’t found the previous spy for a whole year now. Since the person hadn’t shown up, there was a possibility that they might just give up.
Zhuang Yuzhen felt relieved.
Jiang Hao had expected him to beco as arrogant as the Heavenly King, but he just continued to answer his questions.
He gradually gained a clearer understanding of so doubts he had about the Corpse Realm, such as the rules and laws regarding its opening. There wasn’t a fixed cycle. It depended on when the seeds reacted.
When he had first arrived, the seeds had already responded. After he planted them, it opened the Corpse Realm.
It had been sixteen years since it opened last, and eight years since the one before that.
“By the way, is the Mountain Sea Sword Sect also a Northern Sect?” Jiang Hao rembered the jade pendant he had obtained from Zhuge Zheng.
In the evening, Gu Qing left the Spirit Herb Garden and bid farewell to the others working there. She then headed to Jiang Hao’s place.
She didn’t feel anything strange. She had walked this way many tis before.
‘He should be happy to see . I wonder what he likes about . Is he attracted to my appearance, my physique, or my storage treasure?’
She Iw that Jiang Hao wasn’t affected by her charms. She felt that the last option was the most likely.
Even so…
“He probably doesn’t know he is going to die tonight. So of the spirit herbs in the Spirit Herb Garden might be facing issues. I can’t keep him around anymore..”
