Jiang Hao was not worried about Gui’s questions.

He had asked and received answers already.

After a pause, he spoke in a low voice.

“The path taken by the royal family and the Saint Bandits are opposite unless the royal family abandons their own identity.”

Gui looked at Senior Dan Yuan.

Xing and Liu were also the same. They weren’t very familiar with this.

“That’s true. The details are complicated. They can cooperate on other matters, but the royal family would never steal others’ talents through the Saint

Bandits.” Dan Yuan nodded.

“Then, why are they cooperating?” Gui was quite puzzled.

Dan Yuan looked at Jiang Hao and smiled. “Friend Jing, do you have the answer to that?”

“Coincidentally, I overheard it,” Jiang Hao said respectfully, “but the information is from the Saint Bandits’ side.”

This surprised Gui. She thought this matter must have attracted Jing’s attention.

“It’s for the sake of the royal family’s fortune and the land’s blessing,” said Jiang Hao in a deep voice.

The statement surprised everyone.

“Jing’s information is quite important. Once it’s confirmed, I will inform you,” Dan Yuan said with a smile.

Jiang Hao understood that he might get a reward for this.

He just didn’t know what to ask about. Perhaps he could push a bit more regarding the task given by Hong Yuye. That was to find Feng Hua.

“But how exactly do the Saint Bandits steal the royal family’s fortune? I’ve seen that formation, and it doesn’t have that capability,” Gui said curiously.

“Shangguan Hengyu,” said Jiang Hao.

“Shangguan Hengyu?” Liu was puzzled. “Is there something special about this person?”

‘Don’t ask me. I don’t know.’ Jiang Hao lowered his head.

“I’ve heard about this person in the Imperial City. That family has a high status,” Gui said.

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

It was good that someone had answered.

The topic ended quickly. The matter with Saint Bandits was put aside for now.

Dan Yuan didn’t give out new tasks this time either.

Some were happy, but some were worried.

Jiang Hao felt that it was good because it reduced the possibility of his identity getting exposed. Gui, in turn, felt that obtaining the Snow God Pill was becoming more and more difficult.

Next was the normal trading process.

“Friend Jing, I found the person that you mentioned, but he has escaped to another place again. Should I send another letter?”

“Considering the valuable information you provided earlier, this time, I can include this letter with the previous rewards,” Liu said to Jiang Hao.

However, Jiang Hao shook his head.

For now, that was enough. Chi Tian was obviously shaken.

Moreover, letting him escape would give him some peace of mind, and he would collect information to ensure his safety this time.

Having been found once, he could be located again. Chi Tian was not stupid. He would certainly prepare for this.

Moreover, Liu seemed to already know where Chi Tian had escaped to, which made it even more convenient.

Chi Tian had no escape.

“The curse is successful, but the effect may not be that good. I will curse a few

more times in the future to try to improve the effect,” Gui said.

Jiang Hao nodded.

Based on what he had learned before, Gui’s curses required a large amount of spirit stones.

Just thinking about it was painful.

“There have been sightings of tentacles again in the place under the sea, and they are becoming more frequent. The disciples of the Heavenly Note Sect and people from overseas are still exploring deeper into the Sea Fog Cave. So far, they have only found two types of creatures. The Sea Patrol Spirit Beasts, which can guide and search for missing people, and the Sea Monster Thieves with exceptional theft abilities,” Liu said to Senior Dan Yuan.

This was his task.

“The Sea Fog Cave is the location where the preparation to seize the royal family’s fortune is going on. There is an altar inside.”

Everyone was quite surprised at that.

The distance between the Heavenly Note Sect and the Imperial City was not small. The farther away the places, the greater the cost.

What made them willing to expend so much effort for this? Dan Yuan lowered his head and thought about it.

“Gui, are you in the Imperial City?”

“Yes.”

“I have a task. The reward will be a method to transfer the entire curse from a body. Are you interested?”

Gui was overjoyed.

She looked at Senior Dan Yuan and asked, “What task is it?”

“Prevent the Saint Bandits from seizing the royal family’s fortune. To do that, you only need to find the relevant altar and use a special method to destroy it. Once successful, the task will be considered complete, and you will receive the reward,” said Dan Yuan and smiled.

“What’s the special method?” Gui asked.

“Since they want to seize the fortune, let’s give them a curse. However, during this time, you need to protect your own body. Can you handle this?” Dan Yuan said with a smile.

Gui nodded.

For a moment, she felt she had gained a lot.

As a member of the royal family, she would naturally not allow the Saint Bandits to succeed, and the curse had been bothering her for a while. She hadn’t found a way to deal with it entirely.

Now that everything was resolved, and she had even found the right person, all that was left was to take action.

After discussing the task, they moved on to discuss other matters.

“Do you still remember Disciple Shang An? I heard that he intended to go out, but unfortunately, his master refused. He can’t go out until he breaks through to the Immortal Ascension Platform,” Xing said. “I also heard that he can break through to the Immortal Ascension Platform anytime now, but he just won’t take that step. Moreover, once he reaches it, he retreats immediately, which has infuriated his master.”

Jiang Hao wasn’t surprised. In the corpse Realm, Shang An had the ability to advance beyond the Soul Ascension Realm.

It’s just that at that time, he had followed the Path of Forgetfulness.

Now that he had joined the Clear Sky School, he probably wouldn’t have to go through the Path of Forgetfulness anymore.

He wouldn’t take that step because it probably had something to do with the Charm Goddess.

Jiang Hao truly didn’t understand that kind of affection.

He only felt like cutting her down whenever he looked at the Charm Goddess.

Perhaps he would never have romance in his life. If he did…

In Jiang Hao’s mind, a breathtakingly beautiful face appeared. The poison in his body only made him think of her. Other women were nothing to him.

“Has he broken through then?” Gui asked.

Shang An was an extraordinary genius. He was already at the Soul Ascension Realm for years now.

According to their speculations, even the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment Realm would take longer to reach the Soul Ascension Realm.

Both were extraordinary people.

In usual cases, cultivators who could reach the Soul Ascension Realm would take several hundred to even over a thousand years to do it.

“No. He mentioned he’ll go on a journey for a few years and upon returning, he’ll follow his master’s command,” Xing said.

“Going out?”

Jiang Hao wondered whether the Corpse Realm was about to open again.

Otherwise, why would Shang An leave?

However, there was no sign of the Corpse Realm opening any time soon. If it did, people from the Divine Corpse Sect would have already arrived.

“Lately, there is some unrest overseas. Leaving aside the matters related to the sea depth, it seems The End of All Things is about to begin their sacrifices again. Last time, it was for the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl. What could it be this time?” Liu felt helpless.

It seemed to greatly affect him.

Meanwhile, Jiang Hao lowered his head and thought that they probably were still looking for the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.

He needed to be careful. He didn’t want suspicious powers entering his dreams again.

On the other hand, he could take advantage of that and find the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl.

After chatting for a while longer, the gathering ended, and they left the forum. Just as he opened his eyes, he found a figure in red and white sitting in front of him and drinking tea.

Jiang Hao was speechless.

It was Hong Yuye..
