Zhu Shen descended from the sky and positioned himself at the highest point of the deck. He looked down at everyone below.

“Senior, may I ask what brings you here?” Li asked respectfully.

“It’s a minor matter. Don’t worry about it, my friend,” Zhu Shen said politely.

At that moment, he looked at everyone on the deck. Something seemed to activate in his hand as if he was searching for something.

Mi Lingyue was extremely surprised. “The first disciple of the Sixth Master of the Heavenly Tower… Why would someone this powerful come here?”

“Madam, be careful,” said her maid. They were worried. Such a person was beyond their ability to confront.

“Don’t worry. The others are fine. People from the Heavenly Tower, on the other hand, won’t dare to harm me,” Mi Lingyue said.

She couldn’t help but wonder. If it weren’t for something significant, Zhu Shen wouldn’t be here. He had even ventured into the fog and intercepted a large ship.

“Our people should have received the message, and they’ll be coming soon,” one of the maids said.

“There are more people who are afraid of us than we are of them, especially the people of Heavenly King Bu Dong. They even have the blood of True Dragon.” Mi Lingyue chuckled.

However, she also knew that everyone here had sent for reinforcements. The people should be waiting just outside the fog and would arrive soon. But to Mi Lingyue’s surprise, Zhu Shen walked straight up to Jing Fengyun.

Why was he doing this?

Even Jing Fengyun was bewildered. Why would such a distinguished senior approach him?

His cultivation problem had been resolved, and he had left Chaos Stone Island.

However, he hadn’t expected to encounter someone of this stature right after leaving.

“Young friend, are you free? Would you be willing to join me for a chat?” Zhu Shen asked politely.

Did Jing Fengyun dare to say no?

Jing Fengyun was led away by Zhu Shen.

“I apologize for any trouble we’ve caused. Please go about your business.” A loud voice resounded on the ship.

Then, the ship belonging to Zhu Shen retreated.

Others were somewhat surprised. They heaved a sigh of relief, especially those related to Heavenly King Bu Dong.

However, safety was only temporary, and danger could return at any time.

On Zhu Shen’s ship, Jing Fengyun watched the people around him in a daze.

“S-senior, what do you want me to do?”

Before Zhu Shen could say anything, the old woman said, “Mr. Zhu, aren’t you going too far?”

“Too tar?” Zhu Shen chuckled. “It I’ve gone too tar, someone will undoubtedly hold me accountable, but there’s no need to worry about that now.”

“Don’t think you can do as you please just because Mr. Liu favors you. What you’ve done today will surely be punished by the Heavenly Tower,” the old woman said loudly.

Zhu Shen ignored her and turned to Jing Fengyun. “Young friend, can I see your storage treasure?”

Jing Fengyun didn’t dare to hesitate and immediately handed over his belongings.

“Don’t give it to him! You have someone backing you. What are you afraid he will do? Put it away!” the old woman shouted.

Jing Fengyun was baffled. ‘Someone backing me?’

This was Mr. Zhu, who could speak in front of the Heavenly Kings. He didn’t even count. He had never even seen a Heavenly King’s face before, much less speak to them.

Zhu Shen took the storage treasure and pulled out a jade scroll containing only three pieces of jade slips. Seeing this, the old woman was excited and terrified. Zhu Shen breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally intercepted Madam Gong’s token.

Mr. Tao’s prediction was right.

“Who do you work for?” he asked.

Jing Fengyun knew what Zhu Shen was looking for.

The jade scroll had been given to him by the old woman as a trade deal. She asked him to take it out of the island. He hadn’t expected to run into someone of Zhu Shen’s caliber immediately after leaving.

“The person behind him isn’t someone you can provoke. Go and ask your people if Chaos Stone Island has encountered a force that made it tremble. Jing Fengyun was working for that person. If you ask your people, they will tell you everything,” said the old woman.

Zhu Shen looked toward a man in the corner. He was the one who had given Jiang Hao two thousand spirit stones.

Jing Fengyun did tasks for Smiling San Sheng on Chaos Stone Island, and

Smiling San Sheng entered the Seven-Day Village. He met Madam Gong there.

We saw a terrifying force that shook the whole island. It might have been Smiling San Sheng trying to intimidate Madam Gong. Mr. Zhu, you should be careful in handling this,” the man said truthfully.

Zhu Shen nodded. “In that case, I’ll take him to Mr. Tao. Since I’ve crossed paths with Smiling San Sheng, I believe Mr. Tao has as well. This should help clarify the situation.”

Then, Zhu Shen looked at the others. “The rest of you should return.”

They nodded.

Zhu Shen disappeared into the sea with Jing Fengyun.

Jing Fengyun realized that nobody cared about his opinion. Not that he had any particular opinion to offer.

These people said whatever they wanted, and they knew best. After all, their status was much higher than his.

More importantly, he seemed to have unknowingly found a backer.

All of this was because he had done a job for Smiling San Sheng…

‘Is he really Smiling San Sheng and not an imposter? What have I done…’

Jing Fengyun was filled with remorse. He had had a way out, but he had carelessly lost it.

Jiang Hao opened his eyes and touched the wall lightly.

At once, he saw the three people. Shangguan Qingsu and the two men.

They also noticed him.

He appraised her.

[Shangguan Qingsu: An Elder of the Great Thousand God Sect and at the early stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform. She’s afflicted by the Curse of a

Hundred Nights, and when she exerts her full power, the curse will spread throughout her entire body within five breaths. It is enough to take her life. Under ordinary circumstances, she’ll be tormented every three months with excruciating pain. It’s difficult to suppress, and the next torment is in three months. Currently, the curse is suppressed by the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, and she’s temporarily free from the curse’s effects. At this moment, she’s prepared to capture you and find the reason for relief from the curse at any cost. Otherwise, she will transfer the curse to you and make you experience unbearable suffering.]

Jiang Hao sighed.

He planned to leave with the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl. “Senior, feel the pain a bit more. I’ll be waiting for you.”

Jiang Hao’s voice reached Shangguan Qingsu and the others, and he disappeared in an instant using the golden ring.

At this moment, agonizing howls filled the air.

Meanwhile, Jiang Hao stood in Hong Yuye’s room. He saw her drinking tea. He sat down as well.

“Is it over? Will they come up?” Hong Yuye asked.

Jiang Hao nodded. “Judging by their condition, they should.”

Hong Yuye lifted her teacup. “Have you thought about what price you’re willing to pay?

He couldn’t afford another September Spring. He’d already spent his spirit stones on the beast and the Immortal Peach Tree. He only had a little over a hundred thousand spirit stones left.

“Still not sure?” Hong Yuye’s cold eyes flickered.

“I will brew you a pot of September Spring, Senior, ” Jiang Hao quickly said.

Hong Yuye smiled. “When there’s no urgency, you can’t afford it. When needed, you can buy it multiple times? It seems you’re becoming more and more bold around me.”

Jiang Hao was surprised. “Senior, please don’t misunderstand. Please allow me to explain. ”

“Explain then. I’m listening,” she said with a smile.

Jiang Hao was speechless..
