Jiang Hao was silent for a moment.

“It’s too late for anything else now. You should bear the responsibility for any accidents,” Gudu Jinxin said coldly.

Jiang Hao nodded but did not say anything.

Then, they started to move forward. They changed directions in the middle on Zuo Ming’s suggestion.

Jiang Hao allowed him to take the lead at the moment.

He did not notice anything amiss, not even the Fallen Immortal Clan’s spies.

As he walked ahead, he felt some changes in the surrounding space.

It was as if there were countless holes in the darkness from which many unknown threats could jump out.

Suddenly, he noticed something in front of him.

“Defend to the right!” Zuo Ming shouted. “There’s something there!”

Jiang Hao frowned. While the others were protecting the right side, he realized that the thing in front of him had long disappeared.

On the left, a pitch-black demonic beast with sharp claws pounced on Li Ertao.

Just as the demonic beast was about to bite off Li Ertao’s head, a blade flashed.

The demonic beast was beheaded. Its head dropped to the ground with a thud.

Jiang Hao used the first form of the Heavenly Blade, Moon Slaying.

The sudden change made everyone wary and nervous.

Power began to circulate.

Li Ertao let out a soft groan, as though he was trying hard to hold it in.

At that moment, he did not care about his arm. Instead, he endured the pain and protected Zuo Ming.

After confirming that there was no danger in the surroundings, Zuo Ming looked at Jiang Hao. “If you hadn’t changed the line, I wouldn’t have been affected. I could have avoided such danger to the team. You are responsible for this. You should explain yourself to Fellow Disciple Li.”

“Yes. If it wasn’t for you, we wouldn’t have been affected at all,” Gudu Jinxin said.

“I-I’m fine.” Li Ertao picked up his arm and attacked it back on.

The wounds on his arm were healing bit by bit. It would not take long for them to recover.

The others were a little surprised.

Although they knew that Li Ertao could heal heavy injuries, they were unaware that it could work so fast.

This place affected everything, and yet, the healing spell was so quick to take effect.

His healing ability was amazing.

Jiang Hao was also surprised.

“I’ve been affected too much today. I can’t continue,” Zuo Ming said seriously.

Then, they found a way out of the darkness.

Jiang Hao found that it was not difficult to find a way out.

However, he felt rather helpless that he could not stay longer to investigate.

The two people from the Divine Feather Sect were not very cooperative.

It seemed they just wanted to exercise control over all the others.

Today, he let them be.

He sensed the stone tablet vibrating. That must be the call for another gathering.

“We’ve consumed a lot of energy this time,” Zuo Ming said after returning to rest. “We need a lot of spirit stones to recover. After all, we’re doing this for everyone. I hope you all will contribute a little. When the mission is completed, and we receive the rewards, we’ll return the spirit stones in full. If we aren’t in the right state, there’ll be more danger.”

Then, he looked at Jiang Hao.

“I have a thousand with me.” Jiang Hao gave him a thousand spirit stones.

He took the lead. Although the others were not happy with the arrangement, they still offered as much as they could.

With a few thousand spirit stones in hand, Zuo Ming and Gudu Jinxin said that they could guarantee their safety the next time they went in.

At night, Jiang Hao sat cross-legged in a corner.

As expected, there was a gathering tonight.

He had already kept watch last night, so he did not need to keep watch today.

He could attend the gathering in peace.

At midnight, Jiang Hao entered the stone tablet. No one noticed him in the corner.

The other thought he was cultivating.

At the same time, Zuo Ming and Gudu Jinxin woke up from their cultivation.

They looked at each other. They exchanged smiles.

“That Jiang Hao seems to be too cautious. He can be controlled with just a few words. One thousand spirit stones today… two thousand tomorrow… We might get their valuables all for us. When they run out of spirit stones, we can leave. Only a fool would enter that cursed lake.” Zuo Ming sneered.

In their eyes, these people were just pawns they could use and exploit.

“That’s right. I thought that the people from the Heavenly Note Sect would be difficult to deal with. I didn’t expect them to be so soft. How did such people survive in a demonic sect for so long?”

“Looks like we might make quite a few spirit stones,” Gudu Jinxin said.

“It’s possible that he is rich,” Zuo Ming said with a smile. Then, he looked at Li Ertao in the distance.

“There’s something strange about that person. He healed so quickly in such a distorted place. He isn’t ordinary. He can surpass any healing spells or treasure. I suspect he has a divine treasure on him. Let’s go and try to get it.”

“Alright. If you get it first, you take it,” said Gudu Jinxin.

They felt that the team was under their control. It would not be a problem even if they killed him and stole the treasure.

It would be just as easy to make it seem like a demonic beast had devoured him in the darkness, especially when he was already injured.

With the Heavenly Eye, they could do anything. The two felt a little smug.

After a while, they appeared in front of Li Ertao.

“Fellow Disciple Li, how are you healing?”

When Li Ertao saw them coming over, he stood up and greeted them. “It’s going well.”

“Is that so?” Zuo Ming smiled. “Is your healing ability innate?”

“Yes. Master said I was born with it,” said Li Ertao truthfully. Then, he wiped two fruits and handed them to the two people. “Do you want some fruit?”

“No. I’m not eating that,” said Gudu Jinxin with disdain.

Li Ertao forced out a smile and then withdrew his hand.

Zuo Ming did not care about that. Instead, he asked, “By the way, can you recover from any kind of injury? Or do you need something to aid in your healing?”

“I don’t know.” Li Ertao shook his head.

“Then, can we give it a try? Perhaps I can help you find out the reason,” Zuo Ming said gently.

“Give it a try? How?”

“Well… I’d have to hurt you to see how you heal yourself.”

“No.” Li Ertao shook his head. “Master said that it shouldn’t be done that way. Ever!”

Zuo Ming nodded with a smile. He was not surprised.

Then, he looked at the fruit in Li Ertao’s hand. “Can I eat that?”

Li Ertao was surprised, but he was happy. He felt that Zuo Ming was similar to Jiang Hao.

He handed him the fruit.

Zuo Ming took a bite. Then, his face changed. He looked furious. “You poisoned me?!”

He did not give Li Ertao any time to respond. He slashed with his longsword.

Li Ertao’s arm, which had just healed, was severed again.

Gudu Jinxin also attacked.

The aura of the peak of the Golden Core Realm pressed down on him.

As a late-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator, Li Ertao had no strength to fight back.

His other arm was also cut off.

Jiang Hao arrived at the public area.

He did not see Senior Dan Yuan this time either.

It was a little surprising that he had been absent twice in a row. However, the gathering had been held so soon after the last one that Dan Yuan might not have had the time to finish whatever he was doing.

“I encountered something troublesome, so I asked Senior Dan Yuan to start a gathering.,” said Gui.

“Does it have something to do with the Human Emperor’s Palace?” Xing asked.

“Yes… and it’s related to you, Friend Jing,” said Gui as she looked at Jiang Hao. “I used a secret technique and successfully entered the dark area. Then, I made a major discovery.”

Gui paused, as if she was waiting for someone to ask her to go on.

“What did you find?” Liu asked.

“A dragon’s egg,” said Gui. “I found a dragon’s egg, and it’s alive. It seems like it’s going to hatch at any moment.”

Everyone was shocked.

‘Dragon’s egg?!’ Jiang Hao was also shocked. There was a dragon’s egg which had not hatched until now…

How was that possible?

It seemed that this dragon’s egg was extraordinary. It was no wonder it could not be snatched away.

“This dragon’s egg rejects me. I can’t leave the palace with it, but it doesn’t want to come with me either. Do you want me to try again?” Gui asked.

Everyone was surprised.

Gui was one of the most powerful people in the gathering.

“Who does this egg belong to?” Zhang asked.

Jiang was the one who had sent Gui on that mission.

“Friend Jing, do you want it?” asked Gui.
