Chapter 605: The Demoness Teases Him

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jianz Hao thought for a moment but could not come up with an answer.

Hong Yuye hadn’t mentioned any punishment before.

Most frequently mentioned was taking something from him, but it seemed not to be this kind of punishment after the offense.

“Speak. Didn’t you say my every word is etched in your heart?” asked Hong Yuye with a smile.

Jiang Hao bowed his head in silence.

He didn’t know how to answer and could only respond with silence.

At that moment, Hong Yuye suddenly said, “Come here.”

Jiang Hao reluctantly stepped forward. His back was already soaked with cold sweat.

He wasn’t very afraid of the punishment itself. What he feared was the unknown. He was unable to predict what Hong Yuye would do.

That’s what made it terrifying.

When he walked in front of Hong Yuye, Jiang Hao saw her raise her index finger. It pointed directly at his forehead.

At that moment, he felt as though he already knew his fate.

He mentally prepared himself.

This was better than him having to lie.

A cool sensation appeared on his forehead. Jiang Hao even prepared himself to be sent flying backward.

He clenched his teeth and tightened his lower back.

His cultivation realm had no effect here under Hong Yuye, so he didn’t need to activate his cultivation realm.

At that moment, his body tilted backward.

“What are you doing?” Hong Yuye asked.

Her finger had already retracted.

Jiang Hao looked forward and saw the woman in front of him.

She looked amused as if she was watching some sort of joke.

Jiang Hao was speechless.

He hadn’t been flung backward yet.

“Is the gathering over?” Hong Yuye retracted her hand.

“Yes. It’s already over.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“Tell me what happened,” Hong Yuye said.

Jiang Hao began from the very beginning.

Hong Yuye wasn’t interested in Senior Dan Yuan’s mission at all. It was the later part about Burning Immortal that caught her attention. “Do you know about Burning Immortal, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Do you want him dead?” Hong Yuye asked back.

“Xing is quite helpful for us,” Jiang Hao said.

He was a member of the Bright Moon Sect, and most of the information from the eastern region came from him. Without him, the information of the Clear Sky School and the Bright Moon Sect would be completely cut off.

Naturally, he couldn’t be allowed to die.

“Then, make sure he doesn’t get too close to Burning Immortal. It is important to make sure Burning Immortal Formation doesn’t accumulate too much power,” said Hong Yuye and paused. “If he tries many times, it might be too late.”

Jiang Hao was surprised. ‘Too late?’

Hong Yuye didn’t say anything further.

It seemed that the more he came into contact with the Burning Immortal Formation, the more power would be injected into the formation.

Over time, it could be activated. By then, it would be irreversible.

Jiang Hao could only hope that Xing wasn’t a reckless person.

Hong Yuye wasn’t interested in what happened afterward.

However, she did ask about the Human Emperor.

“The Xuanyuan Sword…” Hong Yuye said calmly. “But the Xuanyuan Sword is not in the eastern region.”

“Then, where is it?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Do you want it?” she asked instead.

“I don’t.” Jiang Hao shook his head. “Such a sword naturally has its owner. I don’t need it and can’t afford to wield it.”

“Why not? You’re young. You’re at the early stage of Golden Core Realm at the age of thirty-three. You’re already quite remarkable,” Hong Yuye said.

Jiang Hao lowered his head and thought for a moment. “If you wish to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. I’m not aiming for that.”

If you wish to wear the crown, you must bear its weight?” Hong Yuye said.

After that, she didn’t say much.

“According to a legend, the southern part is the homeland of the Human Emperor. He fell in his homeland, and the sword he carried with him fell into oblivion along with him.”

‘The southern part?’ For a moment, Jiang Hao understood the helplessness of Gui. Why did it always have to be the southern region?

Was it really a land of talented individuals, or a land of trials and tribulations?

After he finished telling her the matters of the gathering, Jiang Hao began to discuss the issue of the ship.

“I’ve noticed that many people have similar objectives, and conflicts will be there whether they are apparent or hidden. Someone is using me and intends to use me to kill. There will likely be more trouble later. If it disturbs your peace, Senior, I hope you can understand. I might use the character of Smiling San Sheng and might end up saying things that might offend you. However, this identity is very beneficial for us. I can use it to learn more information.”

“Smiling San Sheng?” Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao nodded.

He would not provoke any of these people if it were up to him.

He would quietly wait to land at Chaos Stone Island.

On the other side of the ship, seven or eight people sat at a table, with a middle-aged man as their leader.

He looked middle-aged but had white hair.

“I have already driven Heavenly King Ku’er’s people out of the ship. This time, Smiling San Sheng has helped us a lot. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do.” Bai Ying smiled.

He was looking for an opportunity to deal with Huo Zheng and the others.

On the deck, he deliberately asked about Smiling San Sheng’s female companion and incited Huo Zheng to ask further.

Then, he started a conflict, and Smiling San Sheng took action.

He had expelled Huo Zheng and the others from the ship entirely.

“We still need to dock twice more, and they may board the ship again,” said a

woman.

“No problem. It’s not easy for them to board from the back. Besides, with Smiling San Sheng here, we can use the same trick again,” said Bai Ying. “That person is reckless. It just so happens that he’s useful for us. While he’s avenging himself, he clears obstacles for us. It’s like killing two birds with one stone. He probably knows he should thank us. Otherwise, with his cultivation, it’s impossible for him to sweep everyone on this ship.”

“What if he finds out?” someone suddenly asked.

“Find out?” Bai Ying shook his head. “With his strength, he probably won’t. Even if he does, there is no problem. Would he want to be our enemy? In the early stage of the Return to Void Realm, he’s not a threat to us. By then, he can only take a loss and continue to be our tool. Why bother fighting us to the death?”

“Then what about the person behind this ship?” the woman asked.

“What does it have to do with us?” Bai Ying narrowed his eyes. “The one who acted was Smiling San Sheng of The End of All Things. What does it have to do with our Great Thousand God Sect?”

Everyone nodded. In this way, Smiling San Sheng was indeed a lucky star for them.

“There’s a problem. How do we provoke a conflict between Smiling San Sheng and the others?” a young man asked.

“Smiling San Sheng seems to be interested in those two ordinary people. Perhaps we can use that to provoke him,” said the woman.

“That might work but not for long. The key is his partner. That woman seems important to him. The effect of ordinary people is limited; the key lies in his female companion. This woman seems exceptionally important to him. Just spread some rumors saying that she is carrying a valuable treasure or that she herself is an extraordinary cultivation vessel. That will tempt people to investigate,” said Bai Ying.

He smiled as if everything was within his control.

Others agreed as well. This way, there would be fewer people competing with them.

Their mission could be accomplished more smoothly in this way..
