Chapter 538: Heavenly King Hai Luo Is Locked in the Lawless Tower?

Jiang Hao felt somewhat strange as he watched Wan Yanfeng leave.

Yesterday, a group of insignificant disciples had come to ask questions. Today, it was a True Disciple.

This True Disciple was rather polite and addressed people with respect. In fact, if he hadn’t greeted them first, they would have had to address him as “Senior Brother.”

They wouldn’t dare to call him “Junior Brother.”

‘A human-like spirit beast with a fishtail… Is such a beast worthy of attention from a True Disciple? There must be more to this.’

The others were curious too. Besides, the True Disciple had said that he would give them each a Heaven Rejuvenating Pill.

Jiang Hao lowered his head. He would never fight the others for it.

There was no need to.

Even if it happened, he might not even ask for it. He didn’t want conflicts.

It was good for everyone that way.

As for not being able to help, no one would say anything about that.

There was more than one place other than the mountain gate. They couldn’t make conflicts and offend others.

However, they could vent everything on the weakest. Thankfully, Jiang Hao wasn’t the weakest here.

Later, Jiang Hao didn’t pay attention to the matters here and continued to cultivate with the knowledge from the nameless manual.

Time pa.s.sed quickly.

Another half a month had pa.s.sed. It was nearly September.

The people from the Thunder Fire Peak were still looking for that spirit beast, and it seemed they had found some clues.

Jiang Hao didn’t pay much attention to it. He only occasionally heard about it from the people of Thunder Fire Peak, including a few seniors.

Now, what concerned him more was the Sea Fog Cave and Senior Sister Luo Zhi.

There had been no progress with Senior Sister Luo Zhi’s matter. All manpower was drawn to the Sea Fog Cave.

Many matters were put on hold.

He had been out of the Sea Fog Cave for two months. It meant that the conflict there had gone on more the duration of that time.

‘Shouldn’t it be over by now?’

With the intervention of Gui and the entry of the Heavenly Note Sect, the Saint Bandits’ plan should have failed.

Yet, they had managed to hold on for so long.

The next day, Jiang Hao received news that the people from the Sea Fog Cave were rapidly retreating.

They captured some people alive, and they even found Senior Sister Yinsha.

They also found precious minerals and many secret techniques.

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. The Saint Bandits should have retreated. He was not in danger now.

But no one knew where they had retreated to.

Moreover, he still remembered that figure. Perhaps that was the most dangerous thing in the Sea Fog Cave.

However, the figure didn’t seem to care about the gains and losses of the moment.

With the Sea Fog Cave’s matter settled, it meant that the sect had some free hand on deck.

The Merit Hall would also recalculate the merits.

Three days later, the Merit Hall announced the new rankings, and Jiang Hao had dropped to third place.

‘It’s still quite high.’

But it was still fine, as long as he wasn’t first.

Returning to the mountain gate again, he overheard the seniors discussing the matter of the human-like spirit beast.

He didn’t partic.i.p.ate in the discussion. Now that the conflict in the Sea Fog Cave had ended, there would likely be progress in Senior Sister Luo Zhi’s matter.

The gathering might start as well.

It’s just that some subsequent conversations caught his attention.

“This human-like spirit beast is being valued so much. Do you think it might break through the mountain gate to get out? It’s easy if it’s just us, but the formation over there is not that easy to break through.” Nan Yushu said.

The four of them were in the Golden Core Realm, but they weren’t that weak.

“Speaking of which, what happened to that Heavenly King from a couple of months ago? Didn’t he fail to break through the mountain gate and was taken away?” Kong Hu asked.

‘Heavenly King?’

Jiang Hao was puzzled. “Senior Brother, which Heavenly King is that?”

“One of the Twelve Heavenly Kings, Hai Luo,” said Kong Hu.

Jiang Hao was speechless.

Jiang Hao recalled that King Hai Luo had disappeared suddenly. It was a.s.sumed that the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect and the End of All Things Sect might have caught him.

He thought Hai Luo might have gone to the Abyssal Sea, but he didn’t expect him to come to the Heavenly Note Sect again.

‘Why?,

If Mu Longyue found out about it, he didn’t know how he would feel. Eleven Heavenly Kings had joined forces to rescue King Hai Luo, only to have him return to his prison again.

Perhaps they would take him away again.

“It seems like he was sent to the Lawless Tower. But is the Heavenly King so weak? I heard that an elder could easily suppress him.” Nan Yushu was puzzled. “I heard some senior brothers say that the Heavenly Kings weren’t any less strong than the Sect Master. They might even be stronger than the Sect

Master.”

“Could he be a fake?” Xia Cun curiously asked.

Jiang Hao didn’t say anything.

Only he knew why King Hai Luo might have become weaker.

He had his cultivation realm absorbed by the Lawless Tower.

He was confused as to why Hai Luo would return to the Lawless Tower.

‘Or is it because of emotional distress that he wants to leave the position of Heavenly King?’

Jiang Hao knew that the person Hai Luo loved had betrayed him and disappeared. Her fate was still uncertain.

Perhaps he regretted it.

At noon, Jiang Hao, who was meditating, was suddenly startled.

He received a communication talisman.

Elder Baizhi asked him to come over.

At that point, others looked at him. They were unaware of the contents of the talisman.

“Seniors, I have to use up my rest time in advance,” Jiang Hao said apologetically.

“It’s okay. Urgent matters should be dealt with as soon as possible,” Nan Yushu said with a smile.

It was not a big deal anyway.

They knew that Jiang Hao was special, but it wasn’t clear whether he was really a spy.

If he was a spy, someone must be behind it.

“Thank you.”

After thanking them, Jiang Hao quickly left.

He only had an hour. Even if he could use up more of the time, it might not be seen favorably.

Although the seniors might not do anything bad to him, they would refuse to speak or interact with him in any way.

At the White Moon Lake, Senior Sister Zhou Chan stood guard at the gate.

“Senior Sister Zhou,” Jiang Hao politely said.

Zhou Chan was at the peak of the Golden Core Realm.

The first time he saw her, she was in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.

Her progress was quite fast.

“Junior Brother Jiang, it’s been so long since I last saw you. I heard you’ve already reached the Golden Core Realm,” said Zhou Chan with a smile.

“I was lucky,” Jiang Hao said calmly.

“Junior Brother Jiang, are you here to see Elder Baizhi?” Jiang Hao nodded.

Then, Zhou Chan led him ahead. “Please follow me.”

“Okay.” Jiang Hao followed her.

He remembered that the first time he came here, Senior Sister Zhou had led the way. At that time, they had gone to see Elder Qian Xu.

That was thirteen years ago.

“By the way, is there any update about Junior Sister Zhao?” Jiang Hao asked.

The beast hadn’t mentioned anything lately, and he wasn’t sure about the situation.

“Not yet.” Zhou Chan sighed sadly. “That place is quite special. Master said that perhaps misfortune might turn into a blessing. But it depends on whether she’s fortunate enough.”

Jiang Hao nodded. It seemed that the place was indeed extraordinary.

Several months had pa.s.sed, and there was still no news.

After they reached Elder Baizhi’s pavilion, Senior Sister Zhou left the way they had come.

Elder Baizhi handed him a white scroll.

She asked him to open and read it..
