Jiang Hao saw a golden light flash as soon as he opened the scroll.

Immediately after that, a tremendous pressure descended.

It was familiar.

In an instant, he closed the scroll. He was afraid to look at it.

In that split second, the Hong Meng Heart Sutra was almost set in motion.

He suspected that Elder Baizhi was intentionally testing him.

Fortunately, he had good control over his emotions and didn’t panic too much.

“Elder Baizhi, what is this?”

“It’s Heaven Lock,” Baizhi said calmly. “Are you familiar with the language of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe?”

“I do know some of it.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“Then, try to study that scroll and translate whatever is written.”

“I…” Jiang Hao hesitated. “The sect probably has many people who are quite knowledgeable about the language of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.” He wanted to decline. He understood the importance of Heaven Lock more than anyone.

If it became known that he had this thing, he would be in danger.

Even the immortal sects would try to target him.

It was even scarier than the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.

They wouldn’t dare to mess with the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, or the immortal sect would step in. The misfortune was a natural disaster.

But Heaven Lock was a man-made catastrophe. Even if someone else understood the original text of the scroll, they wouldn’t spare him.

He would be like the living embodiment of Heaven Lock.

How could the cultivation world let him live if that happened?

He couldn’t accept this thing.

“I know that.” Baizhi nodded.

She knew that many people understood the language of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe. But not all could comprehend what was in the scroll.

Others didn’t have what Jiang Hao had.

It wasn’t about the cultivation realm or talent.

Jiang Hao had discovered the Heaven Lock technique, and he had comprehended some of it. He was exceptional.

“Why did you choose me for this, Elder Baizhi?” Jiang Hao asked cautiously.

“Do you have any problem with it?” Baizhi asked in return.

Jiang Hao lowered his head respectfully. “I’m afraid I may not be up to the task.”

Baizhi frowned slightly. She was a bit surprised.

Logically, this should have been what Jiang Hao wanted. If the person behind him wanted the scroll, why wasn’t Jiang Hao accepting it?

Could it be that the person behind him wasn’t interested in Heaven Lock?

Regardless, she had to carry out the task that the Sect Master had assigned.

“Completing this task will only bring benefits to you,” Baizhi said.

Jiang Hao felt that Elder Bazhi was trying to entice him with promises of benefits, but this was too dangerous for him.

If he didn’t handle it properly, it could offend Elder Baizhi.

Either way, Heaven Lock was something he dared not translate.

Once it was revealed, the Heavenly Note Sect would be finished.

“But… I am even unable to see the contents. How will I translate it?”

“Go to the Lawless Tower. It can suppress the peculiarity of Heaven Lock, which will allow you to see the contents,” Baizhi said.

Jiang Hao fell silent.

He didn’t know how to refuse her.

“Is there anything else?” Baizhi asked.

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly and shook his head.

He felt that Elder Baizhi was setting him up with this task. Most likely, she didn’t know the content of the scroll.

If she knew, she would never allow another person to read it.

“There’s another task I need you to do,” Baizhi said. “The Heavenly King is in the Lawless Tower, and he wants to see you. There is another person on the fifth floor. Go and get to know them. Perhaps in the future, the Lawless Tower might ask for your help.”

Jiang Hao walked out of the White Moon Lake, and he was still puzzled.

Who else had appeared in the Lawless Tower?

As for the suspected help from him, it was probably something to do with interrogation.

Every interrogation had brought nothing but trouble for him, especially with Gu Qing of the Fallen Immortal Clan.

The same was true for Dan Qingzi later, but he had put a stop to that.

Mi Lingyue and King Hai Luo hadn’t caused him any trouble, but Hai Luo’s sudden reappearance was troublesome.

Jiang Hao was also curious why Hai Luo had chosen to come back.

‘Could it be that his cultivation isn’t enough, and he can’t continue to be the Heavenly King overseas? But if that’s the case, how did he gain his people’s respect?’

Jiang Hao shook his head in confusion.

After that, he headed to the Lawless Tower. There was still some time, so he needed to assess the situation and then return to guard the mountain gate.

Shortly after Jiang Hao left, Baizhi called for Yinsha.

“Elder Baizhi,” said Yinsha respectfully.

At that moment, Yinsha was dressed in a black robe, and there were no visible injuries on her body.

Baizhi was observing her very carefully.

“You’ve been in the Sea Fog Cave for so long. Did you encounter anything?” Baizhi asked.

“Nothing in particular,” Yinsha said. Baizhi looked at her. “Go to the Lawless Tower and stay there.”

“Understood.” Yinsha nodded.

Baizhi frowned as she watched Yinsha leave.

“What is it that Yinsha can’t talk about?”

She could clearly sense that Yinsha knew something, but she couldn’t speak about it.

Yinsha’s method was impressive. She had let Baizhi know that there was something she knew but couldn’t talk about.

“What could it be? Is it the wrong time or the wrong way of asking?”

Even she couldn’t delve into the depths of the Sea Fog Cave. Now that the Saint Bandits had retreated, they didn’t intend to continue exploring.

It didn’t benefit the sect.

They could only wait for the sect to recuperate.

After numerous twists and turns, the sect was exhausted.

On the fifth floor of the Lawless Tower, King Hai Luo was as noisy as ever.

“It’s been two months, and he hasn’t come yet? It seems he’s afraid to come. But I’m generous. Go and call him in front of me…”

“You little bastard!” Zhuang Yuzhen sneered.

King Hai Luo hesitated for a moment, then chuckled. “Old scum, why aren’t you Imeeling in greeting? When that Foundation Establishment fellow arrives, he’ll have to kneel and call me “Grandpa” in front of everyone.”

“Your master is at Golden Core Realm now,” said Zhuang Yuzhen.

“No, that’s your master!” said Hai Luo. “I, the great king, used to think I could restrain myself to get along with you lot. But unfortunately, restraint only brought disdain. Now, I’m revealing everything. No one has the ability to make this great lord bow and speak.”

“Idiot,” said a disdainful voice from the side.

King Hai Luo turned and saw a woman in a silver-white dress. She looked cold and beautiful.

“You b*tch!”

“Say that to me again.”

“B*tch. Smelly b*tch! I said it twice. Do you know why? Because I listen to no one, including Jiang Hao.”

At that moment, Jiang Hao entered the area and heard those words.

He was speechless.

The majestic King Luo was making a fool of himself.

When Jiang Hao’s footsteps echoed on the floor, King Hai Luo retreated to his

Then, he looked at the newcomer.

Jiang Hao was speechless..
