Chapter 350: Interrogating Gu Qing

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hao hesitated after receiving the communication talisman.

He had no way to deal with Gu Qing.

The only thing that made her fearful was probably the Bright Moon Sect.

He wondered which sect among the Bright Moon Sect or the Heavenly Sound Sect would be safer…

Using a sect to threaten prisoners from a demonic sect was willingly inviting trouble.

Going to the Bright Moon Sect might be dangerous, but it couldn’t possibly be scarier than the Lawless Tower.

The demonic sect didn’t flinch when it came to murder.

‘If the Bright Moon Sect won’t work, what else could I threaten her with?’ He couldn’t think of anything.

Jiang Hao decided to first go to the Spirit Herb Garden to handle the spirit herbs, and then to the marketplace to sell some spirit herbs and talismans. Then he might head to the Lawless Tower in the evening.

After all, Elder Baizhi hadn’t given him a deadline.

Jiang Hao felt strange that the spirit herbs in the courtyard had leaked out almost completely.

To this day, he still couldn’t figure out why.

At the Spirit Herb Garden, Jiang Hao saw someone delivering spirit herbs again.

The one arranging the spirit herbs was Lan Qian.

Senior Ning Xuan was also present.

Had the Hundred Bones Forest started making trouble again?

“Junior Brother Jiang, we leave the follow-up to you. If the Spirit Herb Garden has any issues, you can inform me,” said Ning Xuan.

“Understood.” Jiang Hao nodded.

After that, Ning Xuan mentioned the Outer Sect’s Spirit Herb Garden and told Jiang Hao to take care.

She told him he could always find her if he had any issues.

Jiang Hao nodded and thanked her.

Ning Xuan then left.

Jiang Hao couldn’t help but sigh helplessly.

Without Cheng Chou, there was no one to take care of the Outer Sect’s Spirit Herb Garden.

It seemed like he had to go out for a stroll today.

But the present Fairy Ning Xuan was already in the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. She was very powerful in all aspects.

She must have gained considerable opportunities at the Corpse Realm.

“Junior Brother Jiang,” said Lan Qian. “As usual, if there’s anything that needs to be changed, you can inform me. We’ll handle it as quickly as possible.” “Okay. Then, I’ll trouble you, Senior Sister Lan,” said Jiang Hao politely.

“No worries. It’s us always troubling you,” said Lan Qian.

After that, Jiang Hao looked at Bai Ye’s spirit herbs. They weren’t particularly significant. They were just ordinary.

‘What technique did he use this time?’

He might not find what Bai Ye must have used even after using appraisal on them.

He would try it anyway in a few days.

Jiang Hao was still suspicious.

Why was Bai Ye still focusing on this?

He would go back in a month or two.

After collecting the bubbles, he began to tend to the spirit herbs.

At noon, he went to the Outer Sect’s Spirit Herb Garden. The progress of the Cliff of Broken Heart’s spirit field was still the same as before.

No one had come from White Moon Lake, so they ranked in ninth place.

Jiang Hao then went to the marketplace.

He took along some relatively common spirit herbs and talismans to sell.

He also inquired about the rewards for the upcoming competition.

There were techniques, spirit swords, protective treasures, and powerful storage magic treasures.

In addition to these, there were also Heavenly Rejuvenation Pills and special materials.

Jiang Hao realized that the quality of the rewards wasn’t as high as the last time. However, it was more abundant.

There was nothing he wanted.

The techniques were good, but there was no need to strive for the top place for those.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

This way, he didn’t need to worry about missing out on anything good or having to go to the Bright Moon Sect.

However, the competition was more intense than ever. This time, the rewards consisted of three tiers.

On-site treasures, subsequent resources, and an opportunity to participate in the Bright Moon Sect’s Dao Conference put massive stress on everyone.

People might be willing to go all out.

Jiang Hao sold some talismans and spirit herbs.

He received five hundred spirit stones for the spirit herbs.

Selling spirit herbs was indeed more profitable than anything else.

Unfortunately, it took several years or even decades to cultivate them well. If they weren’t allowed to mature properly, it was useless. They wouldn’t sell well.

In the evening, Jiang Hao headed to the Lawless Tower.

The woman in the black robe explained his task briefly.

“Do you want me to interrogate her? Or should I have her voluntarily hand over the treasure?” Jiang Hao was puzzled.

It was normal for Zhuang Yuzhen to ask for Jiang Hao because of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. It was also natural for Hai Luo to seek him out because he had connections with The End of All Things, and Jiang Hao had leverage against him.

However, Mi Lingyue didn’t ask for him because he had nothing on her, and she needed nothing from him. Gu Qing would be the same. He wouldn’t be looking for Jiang Hao. There was no connection between them.

“Junior Brother Jiang, do you feel that you have an innate talent for interrogation?” asked the woman in the black robe.

Jiang Hao was at a loss.

‘Was that it?’

He realized that he had done well when it came to Zhuang Yuzhen and Hai Luo. He had performed too well for his own good.

That was the reason why Elder Baizhi wanted him to try again.

But when it came to Gu Qing, he really had no leverage.

At the Lawless Tower, Jiang Hao walked to the cage on the fifth floor.

Today, even Hai Luo was unusually quiet.

Mi Lingyue, who had said she might be demoted to the fourth floor, was still here. Her cultivation realm was unstable. If it weren’t for her strong resistance, she would have dropped further.

But even if she resisted, she would eventually give in.

Among these powerful individuals, only Zhuang Yuzhen was able to withstand the absorption of the Lawless Tower and remain at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Although part of the reason was that the interrogator didn’t push him too much, his strength was still formidable.

As for Heavenly King Hai Luo, he was able to remain in the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm entirely.

Jiang Hao looked at the three individuals before finally heading to the cage with the injured woman.

She lowered her head. Her hair was disheveled, and she was lacking her previous pompous attitude. It was taking her immense effort to fight against the Lawless Tower.

Her cultivation was the same as Hai Luo’s.

It seemed that her fall in strength wasn’t too rapid. It might be because of the treasure she had.

Bang!

Mi Lingyue knocked on the cage wall. “Heavenly King, your master is here.”

“My master?!” Hai Luo looked at Mi Lingyue coldly. “I’ve ruled over the Milky Way Sea Realm for hundreds of years. Who dares to call themselves my master? Why would I need to bow to anyone? There isn’t anyone in this world who can make me lower my voice…” Jiang Hao walked up to him.

Hai Luo sneered when he saw him.

He hated Jiang Hao. He sat back down. “I admit that I was just a tad bit too loud just now.”

“Hahaha! Mi Lingyue laughed. “This is hilarious!”

Jiang Hao didn’t say anything. Now, he was more worried that Hai Luo’s lover might have been sent to another place without anyone knowing.

It was better to avoid conflicts.

Hai Luo wouldn’t fear anything, and that would complicate matters.

As for Mi Lingyue, there was no need to pay any attention to her.

Zhuang Yuzhen wasn’t as stubborn as before.

Jiang Hao arrived in front of Gu Qing’s cage.

She looked surprised to see him. ‘Why would a mere Foundation Establishment

Realm cultivator be sent here?’

Moreover, it was the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator she had planned to kill before..
