Chapter 1110: The Last Meal Is Taken Away (2)
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Hao packed the things and left.
“Is he taking back the last meal?” Mi Lingyue whispered.
“Who else hasn’t he beckoned at yet?” Zhuang Yuzhen asked.
Everyone looked at the lantern bearer.
“Well, I’ll answer whatever he asks. I don’t need to resist. Why get on his bad side without reason?” The lantern bearer smiled.
“A wise man understands the situation he is in.” Zhuang Yuzhen sighed.
If he had understood it back then, he would not have suffered like this.
Old Man Corpse Sea lowered his head.
The fact that Jiang Hao uttered those words meant that he had a connection with that powerful expert from the Blood Pool.
That was terrifying.
Everyone on this floor had guessed that Jiang Hao had someone powerful backing him up.
However, no one knew who it was for sure, nor did they know how terrifying the other party might be.
They did not want to find out.
Old Man Corpse Sea did not care at first, but Jiang Hao knew too much.
The more he thought about it, the more terrified he felt.
…
The next day, Jiang Hao visited the Lawless Tower again. This time, he was not there to look for anyone specifically.
Instead, he was here to appraise the letter.
[Zhuang Dongyun’s Letter: Zhuang Dongyun’s letter to Hu Yuexin. The letter mentions that a friend has discovered a treasure that could be used to create an immortal. She has her eyes set on the Lawless Tower. If the letter is shown to Hai Luo, he could find something.]
Jiang Hao was a little surprised to see the divine ability’s feedback.
Heavenly King Hai Luo really knew a lot about the ways of the Great Thousand God Sect.
A Heavenly King was indeed a Heavenly King even if he was infatuated with a woman and did unreasonable things.
Without hesitation, Jiang Hao found Senior Sister Yinsha.
“Did you discover anything, Junior Brother Jiang?” Yinsha asked curiously.
Jiang Hao thought for a moment. “Senior Sister, about the letter… I think you should ask King Hai Luo. He knows a lot about how the Great Thousand God Sect works.”
Yinsha nodded.
Heavenly King Hai Luo was indeed extraordinary.
Unfortunately, it was time to send him away.
However, it was troublesome to release him just yet.
He had to wait for the right opportunity.
Jiang Hao also mentioned that something was strange in the mine.
Yinsha nodded. “Be careful, Junior Brother.”
He was a little surprised. The Lawless Tower must have noticed something as well.
He needed to be very cautious. After all, he had to guard himself against both sides.
Back at the mine, Jiang Hao sat by the window and looked outside.
He could not see the mine from here, but he still stared in that direction.
If there was a deathly aura there, he would be able to sense it immediately.
“I wonder when they’ll make a move.”
Jiang Hao closed the window and took out the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron.
He began to place the Mountain Sea Seal on it.
He had already laid out the first layer. All he had to do was wait.
He waited for Mu Longyu to arrive.
After that, the other Heavenly King would take Hai Luo away.
They had to become immortals. It was another problem to convince Hai Luo to cooperate with the other Heavenly Kings.
He needed to see if the people at the gathering could help.
…
In the night, the breeze blew, and the stars shone. The mountain peak became hazy and mysterious in the night.
Two figures were walking in the air.
It was Mu Longyu who had come to the South. Behind him was an old man.
“Are you not going to try again, Heavenly King?” asked the old man.
“A failure is a failure. It’s not that hard to accept,” said Mu Longyu.
He looked calm and indifferent as though someone else had failed and not him.
“But why did it fail? We did everything to prepare,” said the old man.
Mu Longyu smiled. “Don’t think too much about it. Failure is normal. We haven’t been the only Heavenly Kings. None of the Heavenly Kings have ever been able to succeed. It’s bound to be difficult. Think of it like a test. There might be hope yet.”
As he spoke, Mu Longyu looked in the direction of the Heavenly Note Sect.
“Is there someone in that place who can help?” asked the old man.
“I met a strange person there. Although his cultivation realm was not high, the things he knew far exceeded my imagination. We don’t have any beef against each other. Perhaps we can get some information from him,” said Mu Longyu.
The old man was surprised, but he did not ask further.
If the Heavenly King felt that such a person could help, then he probably could.
It seemed the identity of such a person was a secret.
He was worried that something unexpected might happen again.
This matter was related to becoming an immortal, so he could not be careless.
“Is Madam alright?” asked the old man.
She had left for a long time.
“She’s fine, but there is still no progress. I hope we figure out something in time. The Great Thousand God Sect is big and has some powerful people. We need to be on our guard,” said Mu Longyu. “I heard that the Great Thousand God Sect has also come to the South. They might be planning their next step. I’m just not sure what they are planning to do.”
“Heavenly King Hai Luo might know,” the old man said.
Mu Longyu nodded.
The mere mention of Hai Luo gave him a headache.
They knew that without all twelve of them together, they might not succeed. Yet, Hai Luo still refused to get involved.
The price of failure was high. Hai Luo only caused trouble for them.
“By the way, has the other matter been settled?” Mu Longyu asked.
“It has already been arranged, but I don’t know if it’s going smoothly.” The old man hesitated slightly.
“Is that really necessary?”
Some time ago, the Heavenly King met a young man outside. His talent was shocking.
The Heavenly King had secretly adopted the young man as his son and given him the name, Mu Yin.
After a few months, he secretly sent this foster son to the South and had him go undercover in the Heavenly Note Sect.
He felt that it was a pity that such a young man did not have great opportunities. His future was limitless.
It was not worth it to spend his life as a spy.
“What he did is extremely important for the future. We just have to wait for the right moment,” said Mu Longyu.
…
At the end of June, Jiang Hao found a crack in the wall after digging for a while.
Death aura surged from the crack.
Jiang Hao did not dare to get close to it and quickly retreated.
At the same time, Jiang Hao sensed a spiritual fluctuation from Wei Yanhua’s side. It was probably to inform the others of the discovery.
This death aura was extremely dense. If Jiang Hao had not dragged the surrounding miners away, they might have died here.
Fortunately, the overflowing death aura was not fatal yet.
‘I wonder what’s inside. The death aura is terrifying…’ Jiang Hao was shocked.
If his guess was correct, the people of the Great Thousand God Sect would try to make a move tonight.
He did not know what would happen then.
The team leader reported the discovery to the higher-ups immediately and continued to mine elsewhere.
In the evening, Jiang Hao finished digging and returned to the appraisal building.
When he passed by, people lowered their heads and greeted him.
His status here was of importance.
He met Senior Brother Wei Lie, and he told Jiang Hao about Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi was beaten up by Bing Qing.
Every day, he was covered in dirt and bruises.
Recently, she had become even more eager. She often said she met her friend.
Jiang Hao was a little surprised. The spirit beast must have gone to visit Lin Zhi and met Bing Qing.
Fortunately, nothing bad had happened.
He did not care.
When he arrived at his desk, there were more than ten treasures on the table.
Jiang Hao moved the things to the window and looked outside while wiping the treasures.
He cleaned them and recorded the details in the notebook.
When he was done cleaning the fifth treasure, the moon was high in the night sky.
Mist appeared along with the moonlight. It affected vision and perception.
‘Death aura… Looks like they’re going to make a move…’
The death aura was thicker than before.
Jiang Hao saw someone heading toward the mine.
It was useless. He could not do anything to stop it.
No one would be able to stop them unless Elder Baizhi appeared.
Hu Yuexin was too strong.
Suddenly, he felt a figure materialize behind him.
His hand paused on the treasure.
Immediately after, he smelled a familiar fragrance. He relaxed and continued cleaning the treasure.
Since she did not speak, he pretended not to notice her presence.
After all, there was no aura to detect.
However, he quickly stopped and placed the magic treasure on the table.
Hong Yuye did not speak, so he did not turn around to look at her.
“Are you ignoring me?” asked a cold voice.
Jiang Hao pretended to be startled. He stood up and bowed respectfully. “Of course not, Senior. Your cultivation is extraordinary. I couldn’t even sense you.”
“Haha…” Hong Yuye chuckled.
