Chapter 704: I Admit I Lost My Temper

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The situation at the Lawless Tower wasn’t something Jiang Hao needed to concern himself with.

However, based on what Gui and Liu had mentioned earlier, it was possible that Yin Zichen might be at the Lawless Tower.

Jiang Hao needed to confirm this to complete both Liu and Gui’s tasks. This would mean he would have three rewards in total.

But the matter with the Hundred Bones Forest needed immediate attention.

“An undercover agent among the ordinary people?” Jiang Hao was quite surprised when he heard Cheng Chou’s report.

He had inspected all the ordinary people, so there shouldn’t be an undercover agent among them.

However, there was a major problem. These ordinary people were just that ordinary.

If any cultivator found them, it could be disastrous. Even as a cultivator, he had to be extremely cautious to survive.

“Yes. The person seemed… strange. In the morning, he told me he wanted to go home for a visit. I suggested waiting for you to return to ask for permission. But in the afternoon, he destroyed many spirit herbs,” Cheng Chou said.

Jiang Hao fell silent for a moment. “What about the others? Were they harmed?”

“No, not a single one. It was strange because that person seemed to be intentionally finding places where no one was around to destroy the spirit herbs. His body then exploded…” Cheng Chou was puzzled.

“Do you have any information about that person?”

‘Yes.”

“After the sect is done with the battle, go and visit his home.”

“Understood.”

Cheng Chou didn’t know what his senior brother was planning, but whatever it was, he would do it.

“I’ll go to the Hundred Bones Forest and also visit the people from other branches tomorrow,” Jiang Hao said.

Cheng Chou breathed a sigh of relief.

With Jiang Hao here, it seemed like any problem could be solved effortlessly.

With a third of the workforce reduced, it was a concern. But if Jiang Hao was

“Is there any problem with your cultivation?” Jiang Hao asked.

Cheng Chou mentioned some minor issues, and Jiang Hao spent some time addressing them before tending to the spirit herbs.

In the afternoon, Jiang Hao arrived at the Lawless Tower. There were the usual guards there.

‘It seems that the fight outside hasn’t affected this place. I wonder if he just returned or has been here all along.’ Jiang Hao looked at the senior brother who always guarded this place.

With the sect’s situation improving and his own return, others might also come back.

It wasn’t the right time to ask about that.

He made his way to the fifth floor.

On the fifth level, Heavenly King Hai Luo chuckled. “Who can ‘make’ me do things? I’ll teach people when I want to. Do you think the people of the Lawless

Tower can force me to do anything at all?”

“What about your master?” Nangong Yue asked.

“My master?” Heavenly King Hai Luo burst into laughter. “My master? What a joke! I am at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm. What can a Golden Core Realm cultivator do to me? Even if I am a prisoner, a Golden Core Realm cultivator would have to kneel before me. My master, you say? Are you serious? A glance from me and he would…”

Zhuang Yuzhen coughed twice.

“Old scum, why are you coughing?” Heavenly King Hai Luo asked. “Don’t you believe me? You can bring someone here, and I’ll make him kneel…”

When Heavenly King Hai Luo looked toward the door, he froze on the spot.

A man was standing in front of his cell. He looked as calm and humble as ever.

It was Jiang Hao, who had just arrived on the fifth floor.

“Heavenly King Hai Luo, I see that you are as majestic as ever,” said Jiang Hao.

Heavenly King Hai Luo slowly retracted his hand and smiled awkwardly. “Did you hear all that?” he asked.

“I did.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“How much did you hear?” Hai Luo asked.

Jiang Hao thought for a moment. “Everything that you said after you began with ‘My master?”‘

“Hahaha!” Heavenly King Hai Luo burst into a hearty laughter. He showed neither fear nor worry.

He was only now aware that the man they feared was standing before them.

On the other hand, Wu Yang noticed that this was the person they had been wary of all along. However, Heavenly King Hai Luo still maintained his kingly demeanor.

A king was always a king, no matter how he looked at it. But this Golden Core Realm cultivator didn’t seem all that special.

When he was about to ask further, there was a loud bang. He turned to see that Heavenly King Hai Luo was kneeling on the ground. “I admit I lost my temper just now. My voice was a bit loud. I can still be quiet.”

Jiang Hao was speechless. How did it come to this?

There wasn’t really anything he could threaten Heavenly King Hai Luo with. He hadn’t even seen Miao Anxian when he went to the Abyssal Sea. If Heavenly King Hai Luo had given up on Miao Anxian, Jiang Hao wouldn’t have had any leverage over him.

After greeting Zhuang Yuzhen, Jiang Hao turned his attention to the two new prisoners in adjacent cells.

Both of them were at the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. Besides Heavenly King Hai Luo, they were the strongest on this floor.

“Weren’t you in the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm?” Jiang Hao asked King Hai Luo.

“He just advanced,” Zhuang Yuzhen said.

“He agreed to help the disciples of the heavenly Note Sect, which allowed him to advance,” Nangong Yue said.

Jiang Hao nodded. It was the right choice. The Heavenly King was sensible, or else he wouldn’t have maintained his position as the most powerful cultivator on this floor.

Jiang Hao was even more curious about the two new prisoners. However, he didn’t know how to talk to them yet.

“I am Wu Yang,” Wu Yang said.

Jiang Hao was surprised that he had spoken.

“Yin Zichen,” Yin Zichen said.

Jiang Hao nodded and introduced himself. Knowing the names of these two was enough. They were indeed the people he was looking for.

‘But it’s quite a coincidence that they’re here together. I wonder if Gui and Liu will read too much into it.’ Jiang Hao sighed.

He had wanted to complete some tasks but doing it this way did seem peculiar.

He also didn’t understand why the Heavenly Note Sect was so diligent in capturing people from overseas.

Among the five here, three of them were from overseas. As for the other two, he had practically delivered them to the Lawless Tower.

“I heard about you,” Yin Zichen said.

Jiang Hao was puzzled.

“Heavenly King Hai Luo and the others mentioned you. They all seem quite afraid. I was curious about what they are so afraid of,” Yin Zichen said. “To find out, I thought I’d experience it myself and see what great abilities you possess that would make a desperate man like me fear you.”

Jiang Hao found that strange. It seemed like everyone who came here felt that way. But Senior Sister Yinsha hadn’t asked for his help, so he didn’t need to get involved in this matter.

“You must be joking, Senior. I’m just an ordinary inner sect disciple with no extraordinary abilities.”

“Is that so? Then why don’t you become my disciple? I can teach you about divine abilities. In case you didn’t know, I was born in the Heavenly Spirit Tribe and have knowledge of the Heaven Bestowing Technique, Six Earth Attribute Techniques, and Nine Sages Techniques. Moreover, I have expertise in the way of the sword. I can teach you all of that,” Yin Zichen said as he looked at Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao felt a bit odd. This person was very forthcoming. He wanted to appraise him first..
