Chapter 611  The People Around Smiling San Sheng

Heavenly River Island was an extremely prosperous island in the Milky Way Sea.

On the eastern side of this island stood a tall building.

It was called the Heavenly Tower.

Many messages from the sea could be transmitted from here.

At that moment, a young man walked into the backyard. He had a restrained aura, and his cultivation realm was not apparent, but his eyes were full of vitality.

After a while, he arrived in front of a room.

He bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Tao, I pay my respects."

Creak!

The door automatically opened.

Inside the room, a middle-aged man sat cross-legged, with a rather robust physique.

He didn't look like a scholar at all.

"Zhu Shen, it's been a long time." Mr. Tao's voice was deep and warm.

"Mr. Tao, you've been in seclusion for quite some time, and I didn't dare to disturb you," Zhu Shen said with a respectful bow.

"Is there any news?" Mr. Tao got up and walked to the table to pour some tea.

"I received information about a person from the ship, and it felt rather unusual," Zhu Shen said.

"Who is it?" Mr. Tao gestured for the person in front of him to sit down.

Zhu Shen sat down. "Smiling San Sheng."

"Smiling San Sheng?" Mr. Tao paused. "When did he appear?"

"Earlier this month… on the coast," Zhu Shen said.

It was now approaching the end of the month, which meant that he had been in the region for about half a month.

Mr. Tao didn't seem too concerned about this but asked more about Smiling San Sheng.

Zhu Shen explained everything. "At first, the informant investigated as soon as he received the information. They bought their tickets from the Blood Dragon Sect, and they managed to get the tickets after some confrontation. Afterward, he appeared on the ship and acted very arrogant. Not long ago, he used a single move to kill eight people from the Great Thousand God Sect. Among them, there was one in the late stage, three in the middle stage, and two in the early stage of the Return to Void Realm. There were also two others in the Soul Ascension Realm. He used a sword technique that could only be described as all-encompassing. All of this is relatively normal. Except for his exceptionally powerful combat ability, nothing else is particularly outstanding. The issue is that everyone believed he was severely wounded and close to death, yet seven days later, he has already recovered to his peak."

"Perhaps he had some sort of healing divine medicine?" Mr. Tao asked.

"There is indeed such a possibility, but the informant still finds it strange. He intentionally attracted everyone's attention in the beginning as if knew he was extraordinary from the very beginning," said Zhu Shen.

"What did the informant sense that was so strange?" Mr. Tao asked.

"It seems Smiling San Sheng seems to like helping the weak, or he may feel some goodwill toward struggling people. But his personality is… strange. It might be necessary to try to make contact with him. Furthermore, when getting close to him, one will have an inexplicable palpitation without any apparent reason," Zhu Shen said.

Mr. Tao lowered his head and remained silent for a while. "Is Smiling San Sheng traveling alone?"

"That is strange as well," Zhu Shen said. "The informant mentioned that Smiling San Sheng is traveling with another person, and it was specifically stated that there are two people. However, he doesn't mention the other person at all as if he's forgotten all about them. Maybe he didn't even realize it."

Mr. Tao sipped his tea in silence.

"What is Smiling San Sheng's purpose for this trip?" he asked.

"I don't know." Zhu Shen shook his head and thought for a moment. "Most of the people on the ship are heading to Chaos Stone Island for the True Dragon's blood. At least, the forces behind them are."

Mr. Tao smiled. "Where has Tian Chen been lately?"

"He's been on a mission outside, but he should be heading to Chaos Stone Island in a few days," Zhu Shen said.

But he couldn't understand the connection between the two.

Mr. Tao chuckled. "Tell those who are observing not to offend Smiling San Sheng. Don't stop him no matter what he does. Something might happen on Chaos Stone Island, so let him protect himself as much as possible."

"Understood." Zhu Shen didn't know what Mr. Tao meant, but he didn't ask any further questions.

"Is it still impossible to summon the Ancestral Dragon's Heart?" Mr. Tao asked.

"Someone has invoked the Ancestral Dragon's Heart, but it still cannot be truly summoned. They're all waiting for the trade on Chaos Stone Island," Zhu Shen said.

"Whether the Dragon Blood is genuine is still debatable, and others won't just wait for the answer on Chaos Stone Island. They'll come up with other methods. They might even search for the ruins of the True Dragon Clan. That involves too many complications. We can just observe from afar," Mr. Tao said.

Zhu Shen nodded and hesitated for a moment. "Mr. Tao, be careful. Other gentlemen in the building have realized that you have chosen the wrong path, and they are looking for opportunities to target you. Once the situation becomes clear, you might face many problems. If you can't overpower those who provoke you, it will greatly affect you. Do you need to secretly collect information in this regard?"

Mr. Tao looked at Zhu Shen with a meaningful smile. "Yes. Let's start collecting that."

...

There was a small island where the surroundings were quite ordinary, but the place carried a unique charm.

Jiang Hao followed Hong Yuye and walked along the path.

"Senior, how do you find the scenery here?" Jiang Hao asked softly.

There weren't many people here. Although cultivators gathered here, they only stayed briefly. Occasionally, some news would leak out, but it took time to ask about it.

On the way, people mentioned dragon blood.

He surmised that many people on the ship had come for the Ancestral Dragon's Heart.

At the very least, the forces behind them had.

As for Mi Lingyue, she was not like them. She had come to report and find a way to escape from the Great Thousand God Sect.

Is it so difficult to leave the sect as an undercover agent?'

He couldn't say for sure.

Jiang Hao didn't dare to think too much about it during the gathering. However, now that he was following Hong Yuye, he had to be cautious. If he got distracted and was discovered, it could easily lead to disaster.

"This is a cage," Hong Yuye suddenly said.

"Cage?" Jiang Hao was surprised.

"Underneath… There should be something imprisoned here," Hong Yuye said and lowered her head.

Jiang Hao was astonished. He tried to find some clues in the surroundings.

But he found nothing.

Was it because he hadn't studied the nameless manual enough?

At that moment, Hong Yuye spoke.

"Sometimes, you don't necessarily have to look down. You need to learn to look up."

"Look up?" Jiang Hao looked up.

The bright sky showed no signs of change.

The blue sky and white clouds were no different from the usual

But after watching for a long time, the white clouds seemed to change subtly as if other auras were gathering and dispersing there.

However, this gathering and dispersing were common when spiritual energy was condensed. It was not strange.

"What could be imprisoned here?" he asked instinctively.

"Overseas is vast, and the ocean floor is beyond the sight of the cultivation world," Hong Yuye said.

She didn't say much, but Jiang Hao remembered this place. It was Nine Falling Island.

The two walked along the path and admired the scenery.

"Xiao Li hasn't gone out of the sect for a long time," said Hong Yuye suddenly.

Jiang Hao felt nervous. He was unsure of Hong Yuye's intentions.

"Occasionally, I ask Cheng Chou to take her out to pay respects to her parents," said Jiang Hao.

Hong Yuye stopped and looked at the person beside her. "Don't you take her out of the sect sometimes?"

"I've attracted a lot of attention, and it's dangerous for Xiao Li to follow me," Jiang Hao said.

"You're Smiling San Sheng, aren't you? Do you need to be so cautious?" Hong Yuye smiled.

Jiang Hao was stunned. "That's only a disguise for outsiders."

Hong Yuye looked at him calmly. In the end, she didn't say anything more. She continued walking forward.

Jiang Hao followed but planted a ring in a hidden place.

They would soon enter Chaos Stone Island, and he needed to be prepared.

In the afternoon, Jiang Hao and Hong Yuye returned to the large ship.

Before long, the ship set sail again.

This time, when they docked, there were more people on the ship, but their mood was low.

After all, they had witnessed Smiling San Sheng murdering someone as soon as he came out of his room. No one was happy about that.
