“The poison fog in the Misty Fog Cave suddenly retreated, and there are unknown dangers inside. Our people have disappeared after entering that cave. However, there’s one piece of information from overseas that is worth noting,” said Baizhi and paused.”
“The original message stated that in a special place beneath the sea, there appeared the shadows of the Heavenly Note Sect disciples. We suspect it’s related to the Sea Fog Cave. We’ve sent people to investigate overseas, and we’ve also started paying attention to the Sea Fog Cave. No one has entered it again for the time being.”
“As for the news from The End of All Things organization, they seem to be searching for the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl and have made some progress. Although they were stopped by those overseas, it’s already too late. They are planning to send people out for exploration soon. We haven’t found Azure Mountain’s contact yet, so it’s going to take some time,” said Baizhi.
“Continue the investigation,” Hong Yuye said.
Baizhi nodded in agreement.
“The Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is a success. Seize this opportunity, and you might make further progress,” said Hong Yuye.
Baizhi was momentarily stunned, but she lowered her head and expressed her gratitude. “Thank you, Sect Master.”
“After you find out more, come back and find me. You may leave now,” Hong Yuye said.
Baizhi left. Although she didn’t understand the extent of the impact of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, if the Sect Master said there was hope, then there might be hope, after all.
However, the most urgent matter at hand was to manage all the affairs properly, both regarding the Sea Fog Cave and the surrounding sects.
Half a month later, in early December, Jiang Hao was still working in the Spirit Herb Garden.
Lately, things had been relatively calm within the sect, but there was significant commotion outside.
It was rumored that many members of various sects were planning to hunt him down. Most of them were Foundation Establishment Realm and Golden Core Realm cultivators.
Even some seniors from other sects seemed to be involved. They were challenging the Heavenly Note Sect.
“Why would they mobilize such a force just to deal with someone in the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm?” That was Jiang Hao’s first reaction.
It was impossible to find him unless they knew there was a treasure on him.
Otherwise, the cultivators from other sects weren’t fools. While it was acceptable for Golden Core Realm and Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators to take action, it didn’t make sense for seniors to get involved,
These powerful cultivators had ulterior motives, and Jiang Hao felt that someone behind the scenes was orchestrating everything.
The other sects were undoubtedly aware of this, but they would act if it aligned with their interests. They certainly wouldn’t miss the opportunity, especially because many members of the Heavenly Note Sect had gone to the Bright Moon Sect, and they had recently clashed with overseas powers and the Heavenly Saint Sect.
In just ten years, the Heavenly Note Sect had clashed with Azure Mountain, the Heavenly Saint Sect, the overseas powers, and the Devil’s Den. Then, a group of people went to the Bright Moon Sect. Currently, the Heavenly Note Sect was short of time.
In the evening, Jiang Hao left the Spirit Herb Garden and visited the Task Hall of the Law Enforcement Hall.
“Junior Brother, you’re here again?” The senior at the counter sounded surprised to see him.
“Are there any missions available?” Jiang Hao asked.
In the end, he accepted a mission to find a fellow sect disciple, which would cost him 1,500 spirit stones if he failed.
For him, that was quite a lot. After the incarnation of the Immortal Peach Tree, he had less than a thousand spirit stones left.
Before leaving, he used the Heaven Secrets Hidden Talisman to conceal himself. The effect would last for three days.
After three days, he had to return. This time, he followed the two fellow disciples who were going to find Yin Wei.
He wasn’t sure about Yin Wei’s strength, so he could only observe them. If Yin Wei was too powerful, he would retreat immediately and wait for the sect’s response.
This time, he left a ring outside as a precaution. If there was not much commotion, he would retrieve the ring afterward to prevent it from being discovered by others.
“Let’s go. We don’t have much time left. I didn’t expect the sect’s mission to delay us,” said Bao Cheng impatiently.
“We should have enough time. Just move quickly,” said Huo Lai earnestly.
The two of them departed from the sect’s residence and flew on their swords. They headed away from the sect. However, neither of them noticed that a figure was following them all the way.
They traveled for an entire night before finally arriving at a stronghold in the early hours of the morning
This stronghold had recently been established and was guarded by many people. The weakest of them was at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Before entering, Bao Cheng and Huo Lai put on their masks that could block prying eyes.
Once they passed the guards, they headed straight for the central location. Jiang Hao sneaked in from the side and went unnoticed.
‘There’s a formation, but it’s not strong.’ Although Jiang Hao didn’t know much about the formations, he could sense their power.
Inside, he found several people. Each of them was wearing masks. Occasionally, he could overhear their conversations.
“I went to a relatively remote city earlier. I went there to absorb all the fresh blood to help me advance to the Golden Core Realm. Unfortunately, I encountered people from the Blackheaven Sect on the way. I nearly got caught. Before leaving, I taunted them. I told them that they should go to the Heavenly Note Sect to find me if they had the guts. I told them that I’m Jiang Hao, and I
won’t change my name or hide my identity.”
“They were furious. They said, “I’ll kill you one day, Jiang Hao!” By the way, who is this Jiang Hao? Is he famous in the Heavenly Note Sect?” said a middle-aged man as he laughed heartily. “I killed an entire family in front of a child in the village. Then, I told him that I was Jiang Hao from the Cliff of
Broken Hearts. Now, whenever that child hears the name, he screams in terror.”
The two men laughed.
However, they didn’t notice that the Heavenly Cauldron enveloped them in a
split second.
Suddenly, a blade pierced through the young man’s chest, and blood dripped from the tip of the blade.
Immediately afterward, a cold voice followed. “Is it still funny?”
The young man was shocked, and he released his inner power in an attempt to counterattack.
But moonlight flashed in his eyes, and a long blade cut across his neck.
In a state of terror, the young man felt his vision blurring.
“Is it no longer funny?” asked the cold voice.
In his state of fear, the young man lost consciousness. He would never know who had killed him or how it had happened.
On the other side, the middle-aged man looked back and saw someone holding a long blade in the night. The figure resembled a ruthless butcher.
“Fellow Disciple…”
Suddenly, the aura of a Golden Core Realm emanated, followed by the aura of a Primordial Spirit Realm. “Friend?”
“Senior! Senior, I didn’t know that you were here. Please forgive me,” the middle-aged man said in fear. “I’m willing to serve you as a slave.”
“A slave?” said the cold, indifferent voice in amusement. “Which slave would dare to impersonate their master so casually?”
‘Impersonate their master?’ The middle-aged man realized something at that moment and was filled with shock and terror.
Moonlight appeared.
The figure had already appeared behind the middle-aged man.
In an instant, he felt his consciousness fading.
Finally, he collapsed..
