Two hours was just right, but it was a bit rushed.
There wasn’t enough time to go into detail or thoroughly examine things.
Sitting at the mountain gate, Jiang Hao recalled the events from before.
He was curious about the woman in white.
That elusive feeling tugged at his thoughts.
Box Novel.comIt wasn’t about the woman herself, but the aura that extended from her.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t figure out what was going on.
However, he had asked around about her.
The woman’s name was Nangong Yue. She was a member of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe and a member of the Saint Bandits.
After the appearance of the Heaven Lock, she was captured by the sect.
‘Heaven Lock…
Jiang Hao had thought about whether that feeling was similar to what he had felt when he saw Heaven Lock for the first time, but he couldn’t be certain.
He could sense anything familiar. He needed to read the original text to find out.
But the original text could only be viewed in the Lawless Tower. He would have to wait for that.
Although the Heavenly King was boasting, he had a weakness. He needed to understand that.
Apart from that, there were two more questions in his mind. The Heavenly King seemed to genuinely know the secret of The End of All Things.
The only problem was that he didn’t know what kind of secret it was. The sect wasn’t asking about it, and he wouldn’t speak up first.
“Junior Brother Jiang, pay attention this time,” said a man as he walked by.
He was carrying a box with a spirit beast inside.
Jiang Hao nodded. This senior brother had been going out with the spirit beast frequently.
Occasionally, he would greet people on the way.
Jiang Hao didn’t think much of it. In the following days, he saw this senior coming and going many times.
They didn’t exchange greetings, and no one asked any questions.
It seemed like they were too lazy to bother with that.
There were many people like that. They couldn’t bother with everyone.
Jiang Hao was puzzled. He felt that he might have guessed wrong.
The people from the Thunder Fire Peak were intensifying their efforts in their search.
After all, they were within the sect, so they couldn’t go too far.
Fortunately, there weren’t many people managing the mountain gate. As long as they didn’t clash with the gatekeepers, things usually went smoothly.
This was why the Thunder Fire Peak frequently sent people over.
Even if they were given ten times the courage, they wouldn’t dare to search people coming in and out of the mountain gate.
If they encountered someone with a high cultivation realm, it would be a tough nut to crack.
In mid-September, in the Ice Moon Valley, a man cautiously observed his surroundings and moved step by step into the depths of the forest.
He passed through the jungle and traversed the small paths. He finally arrived at a lakeside.
This place was remote and unknown to many. He had discovered it by chance.
He looked around to make sure no one was there. Then, he gently crouched down and tapped the surface of the lake rhythmically.
Shortly after, there was a disturbance in the water, and ripples appeared on the lake’s surface.
A figure emerged from the depths of the water.
It looked like a young girl.
It had delicate features, with fish scales adorning its face.
Its watery eyes looked at the man and smiled.
“Master.”
Looking at the young girl, the man said gently, “I have arranged everything. If you can get out, you’ll have your freedom. I will send you back to the sea.” “Master, will you be in trouble?” asked the young fish girl with some concern.
“No. They won’t dare to kill me,” said the man confidently.
Then, he took out a box that was used to hold spirit beasts.
“I’ll have to trouble you a bit.”
The young girl nodded and leaped into the box.
The man watched as the creature, with a human upper body and a fishtail, left the lake and entered the box.
He let out a sigh of relief. He then closed the box and proceeded to transport it like he usually did.
The man’s name was Wu Yong. After entering the sect, he lived his days cautiously.
Saving this fish person was an unexpected turn of events. The creature had done him a favor, even though the creature was unaware of it. But he remembered it.
Taking a creature out of the sect wasn’t easy, especially when there were people from the outside involved.
After a long preparation, he had finally found a way.
He could have taken it slower, but with the involvement of a True Disciple, he knew he had to act.
He wasn’t a courageous person and always lived very cautiously, but he had to take a risk now.
If he was discovered, he would surely die.
He walked out with the fish person.
He didn’t know the secret of the fish person and didn’t intend to ask.
On the way, he didn’t walk in a hurry. However, he avoided those conducting routine searches.
Those people also didn’t dare to search anyone recklessly. They only stopped suspicious individuals.
Everything went smoothly, and Wu Yong arrived at the mountain gate.
There was more than one place to exit the sect, but this was the easiest way.
The security here was very lax.
When they arrived, three of the four people were awake.
Contrary to his expectations, the two strongest individuals were cultivating.
He didn’t say anything and left with his cargo.
He had gone out many times without any issues, and this time was no exception.
Soon, he passed the first person without any problems.
Then, he passed the second person without any issues. Then, the third and the fourth.
There was no problem at all.
However, just as he breathed a sigh of relief, a voice suddenly stopped him from behind.
“Wait a moment.” Xia Cun yawned. “Junior Brother, please let us inspect the spirit beast.”
Wu Yong’s heart skipped a beat, and he grabbed his storage treasure. He had two options. One was to escape quickly, and the other was to find a way to bribe the guard to keep it a secret.
He didn’t hesitate. “Junior Brother Xia, if you want to inspect, you are welcome to do so, of course.”
He walked over to him with the box calmly.
“Why are you checking it today?” Nan Yushu asked curiously.
“Seems like there’s a problem with my cultivation, so I’m just passing the time,” Xia Cun said.
Jiang Hao looked at him and stood up. “Senior Brother, let me handle this.” “Then, I’ll trouble you, Junior Brother.” Xia Cun smiled.
Jiang Hao felt that he should take over since he was the one with the lowest cultivation here.
The spirit beast inside seemed nervous as well.
Jiang Hao walked to the side of the box.
“Junior Brother Jiang.” Wu Yong smiled.
Jiang Hao could feel that Wu Yong was extremely anxious right at that moment.
When his hand got close to the box, his nervousness intensified.
Creak!
Jiang Hao opened the box. Inside the box, there was a creature that looked like a young girl.
It had fish scales on its body, and the lower part of its body was in the form of a fishtail.
‘Humanoid spirit beast with a fishtail.’
At that moment, the young spirit beast covered its mouth in fear. Its eyes pleaded for him to let it go. Jiang Hao was reminded of Xiao Li and how she had looked when she lost her loved ones.
“Inspection done. We found some clues outside. That person might be leaving in the next few days. If you encounter some seniors and juniors, remember to be polite.”
Wu Yong’s heart sank.
Jiang Hao glanced at the Thunder Fire Peak’s people. Finally, under Wu Yong’s nervous and frightened gaze, Jiang Hao closed the box. “Sorry for the hold-up, Senior Brother. Take care.” He didn’t want to involve himself in this kind of trouble..
