Chapter 711: I’m Worth So Much

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In his thirties and with a scar on his face, he looked menacing.

Jiang Hao glanced at him briefly and then stopped paying attention to the person. He had no idea who this person was, but being stared at so intently was probably not a good sign.

This place was spacious, and there didn’t seem to be any specific rules here. Maybe it was possible for things to get physical.

Liu Xingchen hadn’t warned him about fighting with fellow sect members here.

If it wasn’t prohibited, there would surely be trouble.

In the sect, there were people who didn’t like him, especially because of his accomplishments.

If it was in the Cliff of Broken Hearts, no one would dare act.

Now, as fellow prisoners, there wasn’t anything keeping them back.

There were the people from the Heavenly Joy Pavilion. While the Pavilion Master had made it clear that he meant Jiang Hao no harm, others who wanted to avenge Yun Ruo might be here.

Over a decade had passed, but if someone still held a grudge, they might make a move.

Fortunately, the person just continued to watch him and showed no intention to make a move. It appeared that no one knew what was going on, and they were just observing each other.

In the corner, Jiang Hao sat cross-legged and used what he had learned from the nameless manual to observe the auras of everyone around him.

He wanted to see if there were any threats.

For a moment, he sensed countless auras. Some of them were paying attention to him. However, there was no hostility. It seemed they were just observing him as the newcomer.

After a while, Jiang Hao sensed the strongest aura, which was possibly at the late stage of the Return to Void Realm. ‘Someone this powerful was also captured?’

The person didn’t seem to pay attention to anyone else and was seemingly meditating. She was positioned in the innermost part of the room.

There were two others at the early stage of the Return to Void Realm. These two were different. They seemed to blend in with the crowd.

‘Return to Void Realm cultivators are unlikely to be mingling with the crowd.’

He opened his eyes and scanned the surroundings again. It was only then that he discovered that these two people had concealed their cultivation realms. One of them was pretending to be at the Foundation Establishment Realm, while the other pretended to be at the Golden Core Realm.

‘Undercover agents?’ Jiang Hao couldn’t be sure.

It didn’t matter as long as they weren’t paying attention to him.

He had already arranged for the Spirit Herb Garden to be handled by Cheng Chou.

The pressure from the sect had lessened, so the garden shouldn’t face any problems.

As for appeasing the people who suffered losses due to the destroyed spirit herbs, Cheng Chou would have to handle that himself.

If he couldn’t do it, he could always ask Senior Sister Miao Tinglian for help.

Senior Sister Miao Tinglian was a decent person who was willing to help the Spirit Herb Garden.

Everything was going well.

The only issue was that he had to abandon the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower again right after he had returned to the sect.

The more he got involved in other things, the more complicated it became.

He had only met Senior Brother Qian Chen once, and he had ended up here. Everything had happened because of the Blood Wish Path.

He thought that the matter would end with Senior Brother Qian Chen’s death, but he never expected there would be even more to deal with.

He sneakily glanced at Qi Yang. It seemed that he wasn’t paying attention to Jiang Hao either.

That was good. He was already drawing too much attention.

Qi Yang probably didn’t dare to approach him before, and now, it was even more difficult for him.

The night passed without any incident.

Everyone waited.

Three more days passed, but no one came to check on them.

The people in the room felt the pressure. The longer they stayed here, the heavier it became.

In the three days, Jiang Hao had appraised three people. The information he received was interesting:

[Li Shan: At the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. An inner sect disciple of the Heavenly Note Sect’s Flowing Waterfall Branch, who received five thousand spirit stones from Qiu Luo before entering the dungeon. He has been ordered to keep an eye on you and is ready to act when there’s an opportunity. He will get paid ten thousand spirit stones for crippling your limbs, fifty thousand spirit stones for crippling your cultivation, and a hundred thousand if he can kill you.]

[Ke Jian: At the early stage of the Return to Void Realm. An inner sect disciple of the Heavenly Note Sect’s Law Enforcement Hall. He is here to observe the people here and obtain information from those who know something. He is also here to ensure that Leng Wushuang can leave at any time. He is curious about you because Liu Xingchen pays too much attention to you.]

[Zhong Huaxuan: At the early stage of the Return to Void Realm. An inner sect disciple of the Heavenly Note Sect’s Law Enforcement Hall. He is here to observe the people around him and obtain information from those who know something. He is also here to ensure that Leng Wushuang can leave at any time.]

The first person, Li Shan, was the one Jiang Hao had sensed.

After appraising them, Jiang Hao understood that he had no personal grudges with Li Shan, but there were some conflicts of interest. As for this Qiu Luo, he had never heard of that name.

‘Isn’t he too generous?’ Jiang Hao couldn’t help but think. ‘Five thousand spirit stones? How long would it take to earn that amount?’

It would require running into Senior Brother Duan Guan and Senior Sister Leng Tian within a few months. Otherwise, it could take several months.

However, the two people behind him turned out to be disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall of the Heavenly Note Sect, and their primary goal seemed to ensure someone named Leng Wushuang was safe.

Perhaps she was the one sitting in a corner in the late stage of the Return to Void Realm.

‘What does it mean that this person can go out at any time? She was captured with everyone else. Or… is it that she can decide whether she wants to stay or leave?’ Jiang Hao thought.

She was likely the sect’s top disciple. But why would a person like her be associated with Senior Brother Qian Chen ?

Jiang Hao didn’t believe Senior Brother Qian Chen would involve someone of such a high status in the Blood Wish Path as that would interfere with his plans.

Becoming a top disciple wasn’t an ordinary feat.

For example, Manlong was one such figure. He intentionally allowed the tenth spot to be taken away.

If it weren’t for the fact that Bai Ye ultimately failed, he wouldn’t have been punished.

However, the duration of that punishment was ending soon. In a few years, he would likely regain his position as the tenth top disciple. All these years, the tenth spot had remained empty.

Liu Xingchen was qualified for the position, but he seemed unlikely to vie for it.

Three days passed, and still, no one from the Enforcement Hall came for them. No one interrogated them.

More days went by, and the pressure increased. Many people couldn’t take it anymore.

“What do they want to know? Why are they tormenting us like this?” “We have no relationship with Qian Chen. I only met him once!”

“I’d rather be in the Lawless Tower. What kind of place is this?”

Jiang Hao couldn’t help but chuckle. He couldn’t believe some people would actually choose the Lawless Tower.

Didn’t they know what kind of place it was? Even formidable figures like Zhuang Yuzhen and Heavenly King Hai Luo had no way of escaping.

They could only try to maintain their cultivation realm. If they couldn’t do that, they would end up in the mines. For the prisoners, there was no way to escape.

Amid the discontented murmurs, a sudden vibration filled the air.

Following that, the door to the room opened. However, no one stepped inside.

“Can we leave?” someone asked.

“It should be possible.”

“Would it count as desertion?”

“Clearly not. The Law Enforcement Hall has a purpose, and we just need to cooperate. The sooner it’s over, the sooner we can get out.”

Jiang Hao thought the same. What the Law Enforcement Hall intended to do to identify those related to Senior Brother Qian Chen remained unclear. Soon, most of the people started heading outside. Jiang Hao was left behind.

He figured he just needed to wait.

However, when most of the people were gone, the Return to Void Realm cultivator finally moved. An elegant lady in a white dress swished past them. Her long, back hair swayed down her back.

‘Leng Wushuang?

Some people seemed to have only noticed her now.

“Senior Sister Leng?!” someone exclaimed..
