Green Mountain Village.

“The Immortal Elder has spoken. So, how could we not listen to you?” said a middle-aged man.

At this moment, the courtyard was in a chaotic state. Everyone had injuries.

Even the middle-aged man speaking had his teeth knocked out. He was fearful. He had come close to death.

“It’s not about listening to me,” Zhou Chan said helplessly. “I didn’t expect my Junior Brother to attach such importance to Junior Brother Lin Zhi. He actually dispatched his pet spirit beast, who is even more formidable than me.”

The middle-aged man thought of something. “Wasn’t Lin Zhi allowed to stay in the sect because of those two young disciples?” he asked fearfully.

Zhou Chan glanced at him. “No. It was the Master of the branch who personally permitted him to stay. He isn’t someone we can meet.”

The middle-aged man was scared out of his wits. He had tried to dig up the graves belonging to such a person.

The middle-aged man knelt before Zhou Chan. “Thank you, Immortal Elder, for saving my life once again.”

Zhou Chan was also surprised that Jiang Hao’s spirit beast was here. She had heard that this family was planning to dig up Lin Zhi’s parents’ grave, so she had arrived to persuade them to leave it alone.

She hadn’t expected the spirit beast to arrive ahead of her and severely injure everyone.

Zhou Chan left. She wanted to see how Lin Zhi was doing.

After some time, Zhou Chan arrived at Lin Zhi’s house.

She saw an old woman cleaning the courtyard.

“Hello,” Zhou Chan said in greeting as she walked in. “Is this Lin Zhi’s house?” “Yes, and you are?” Granny Lin squinted her eyes as she looked at the visitor.

She was hunched and her complexion was tan. Her movements were stiff.

Zhou Chan was surprised to see her. She had never seen a person that old.

“I’m his Senior Sister. I wanted to see how he’s doing,” Zhou Chan said as she took out some pastries and handed them over. “This is for you. They are delicious. Are you Granny Lin?”

“Immortal Elder?” Granny Lin was astonished. She almost knelt in respect.

Zhou Chan immediately helped her up. “Please don’t do that.”

After helping her up, Zhou Chan talked with her about Lin Zhi’s household.

The more Zhou Chan listened, the more astonished she was. It was her first time hearing about Lin Zhi’s mother. It was also the first time she learned about his mother’s illness. She was waiting for her son to join a sect before she breathed her last.

“She must have felt relieved, right? I think she was still regretful. She didn’t get to witness her son becoming immortal,” Zhou Chan said.

“Yes… I remember that when she gave me food, she looked at peace. It was like she had finally let go of everything,” said Granny Lin. “In fact, I come here to keep the place clean occasionally. It’s not just because the food she gave me helped me through the tough winter, but also because she gave me an egg.”

“An egg?” Zhou Chan was puzzled.

“Yes.” Granny Lin smiled. “It was the first time I tasted an egg.”

Zhou Chan was moved. “Are eggs that rare here?”

“They’re not, but eggs are expensive.” Granny Lin laughed. ‘We raise chickens only to save them. No one can afford to eat eggs here.”

Zhou Chan stood up. A faint glow seemed to emanate from her.

Finally, she took a deep breath and sat down again. Looking at Granny Lin before her, she no longer felt pity toward her. Instead, she felt admiration and respect toward the old woman and the people in this village.

“Granny, why don’t you tell me about your experiences? I need to wait for

Junior Brother Lin Zhi anyway,” said Zhou Chan.

The Heavenly Note Sect.

Cliff of Broken Hearts.

After several days, Jiang Hao received a message.

The treasure had been extracted.

Gu Qing handed over the treasure without saying anything.

Jiang Hao could foresee her fate. Her cultivation would decline, and she would be sent to the mine to work.

‘Xing already knows she’s here. They should be sending someone. We just don’t know when. ‘

It wasn’t just Xing. Heavenly King Mu Longyue would soon be sending someone to get back Mi Lingyue too.

The message sent by the Lawless Tower didn’t mention Mi Lingyue, so he had to go and check it out himself.

For now, he wouldn’t bother with the matter too much.

He had cleaned his Nine Heavens Battle Armor and the wrist guards and put them on.

He decided not to deal with the stone tablet anymore.

He still had the Primordial Heavenly Blade and the rings. ‘It seems it’s time to make some arrangements with the spirit beast.’ The spirit beast sometimes triggered golden bubbles.

As long as he could get two of those, he could receive a treasure. It all depended on when the peach tree would bear another golden bubble.

‘The spiritual energy has returned to the level it was when I returned.’ Jiang Hao was surprised.

He couldn’t understand what Bai Ye was trying to do.

‘Maybe I should go and take a look tonight or tomorrow night.’

utnerwse, ne would Keep reeling uneasy.

When he left the courtyard, he met Han Ming.

By now, he was no longer the naive youth of the past. He was twenty-six.

“Senior Brother Jiang, I’m here to challenge you again,” Han Ming said seriously as he looked at Jiang Hao.

His aura was as sharp as a sword.

After several rounds of training, he had already surpassed his peers. Now, as long as he could surpass Jiang Hao, he could continue to strive for the next stage.

Jiang Hao smiled. “Junior Brother Han, you are truly talented. Your aura alone tells me that you’re extraordinary.” The sparring began.

Jiang Hao launched five sword strikes.

Han Ming’s sword swung down.

The saber was already at Han Ming’s neck.

“Junior Brother Han, do you admit defeat?” Jiang Hao retrieved his saber.

Han Ming gritted his teeth, picked up his sword, and asked, “Senior Brother

Jiang, are you really in the Foundation Establishment Realm?”

“I went to the Corpse Realm and got lucky,” Jiang Hao said. His cultivation was only slightly above Han Ming’s.

After that, Han Ming snorted coldly and left. “Senior Brother, you’ve been stuck in the Spirit Herb Garden for too long. Sooner or later, I’ll surpass you.” Jiang Hao didn’t say anything. He appraised Han Ming.

[Han Ming: True Disciple of the Heavenly Note Sect’s Cliff of Broken Hearts. Exceptionally gifted. In the late Foundation Establishment Realm. He is favored by the spirits of mountains and rivers and has the inheritance of a mighty figure. After killing enemies and tempering himself in mountains and rivers, his ability to move mountains and seas is taking shape. He’s unwilling to be defeated by you. He wants to defeat you after his advancement.]

‘He is indeed exceptional. It is no wonder people say he has the making of a top disciple.’

Among his peers, no one could surpass Han Ming. He was diligent, hardworking, and never admitted defeat.

He was always willing to fight whenever the Heavenly Note Sect needed him. Every time, he achieved considerable merits.

He just liked to show off.

That night, Jiang Hao stood before the Hundred Bones Forest.

He tried to sense Bai Ye’s location.

Sure enough, Bai Ye was still inside.

However, when he sensed Bai Ye’s cultivation, Jiang Hao was somewhat stunned.
