Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hao knew that Hai Ming was here to find him.

He just didn’t quite understand why Hai Ming was so interested.

He decided to appraise Hai Ming.

Once he got closer, he chose to assess the situation.

The first time could be ignored, but the second time indicated that he was being watched, especially when he had killed someone from the Blackheaven Sect.

No one was willing to approach him.

No one was sure how far the wrath of the Blackheaven Sect would extend.

If this person approached him, he had an ulterior motive.

[Hai Ming: One of the spiritual avatars of Feng Hua of the Great Thousand God Sect. He is at the early stage of the Return to Void Realm and has infiltrated the Heavenly Note Sect to find someone to cooperate with and to find the reason for Dan Qingzi’s death. He has been paying close attention to you recently and hopes to obtain the secrets of the fish people from you. He thought that he could take advantage of the situation by putting you in danger, but your ruthlessness, decisiveness, and strength far exceeded his expectations. Now, he wants to change his mind and play the emotional card with you. He hopes to collaborate with you in the future.]

Looking at the divine feedback, Jiang Hao furrowed his brows.

‘He thought of taking advantage of the situation and putting me in danger?’

Jiang Hao didn’t quite understand.

What had Hai Ming done to put him in danger?

The only thing he could think of was the person who killed Murong Jing. But he wasn’t sure.

Regardless, the other party had changed their mind, so there was no need to worry about him trying to ruin Jiang Hao’s life.

“Elder.” Jiang Hao bowed respectfully.

“Young friend, you just came out of the Law Enforcement Hall. It seems there’s no trouble,” Hai Ming said with a smile.

“Yes. I was wrongfully accused, and the Law Enforcement Hall promised to investigate and clear things up,” Jiang Hao said.

He didn’t mention that the Law Enforcement Hall didn’t dare to detain him longer because of his great merits.

Perhaps this newly joined elder didn’t understand the situation in the Heavenly

Note Sect.

Having high merits carried a lot of privileges in the sect. Even the powerful Law Enforcement Hall couldn’t detain him easily.

“Young friend, did you get in trouble with the people of the Blackheaven Sect?” Hai Ming asked.

“No.” Jiang Hao shook his head.

“It’s alright. I don’t really like them either. They are so narrow-minded,” Hai Ming said with a smile. ‘You’ve offended them, and I imagine you’ll face retaliation. Luckily, I can escort you back for now. No matter how powerful they are, they wouldn’t dare to take action.”

Jiang Hao pretended to be surprised. “I wouldn’t dare trouble an elder for this.”

“No problem.” Hai Ming waved his hand with a smile. “It’s just a small favor. I admire anyone daring enough to act against the Blackheaven Sect. You don’t need to worry about it.”

Jiang Hao declined multiple times, but in the end, he had to agree.

So, Hai Ming escorted him back to the mountain gate.

He didn’t go all the way.

This way, there wouldn’t be any misunderstandings. Jiang Hao also breathed a sigh of relief.

As Hai Ming had said, he was just escorting him.

On the surface, it seemed that the other party was indeed sincere.

However, Jiang Hao knew that this was just the beginning of his next plan, and there would be much more to come.

The others gazed at Jiang Hao as he returned.

They had assumed Jiang Hao would definitely lose, and even in defeat, he would have gained some glory.

But they never expected that Jiang Hao, who was clearly about to lose, would counterattack. He fought his way through.

He easily turned the table.

This level of strength far surpassed those at the same level.

“Seeing Junior Brother’s skill with a blade truly widened my horizons,” Xia Cun said.

He sounded reluctant, but his praise was genuine.

Indeed, it had truly widened his horizons.

Those strikes were remarkable.

Kong Hu and others also chimed in.

They had a whole new understanding of Jiang Hao’s decisiveness and strength.

However, they had once doubted whether Blood Wish Path could be this powerful.

If Blood Wish Path was this powerful, who wouldn’t cultivate it?

Was he the only one who had taken the correct path of the Blood Wish Path?

Regarding the praise from his seniors, Jiang Hao could only say that it was just luck.

But he sensed that these three were more enthusiastic than before.

It was because of his strength.

This had both positive and negative effects.

The positive was that some people would respect him, but the negative was that some would want to suppress him.

Fortunately, he was currently guarding the mountain gate, so those who wanted to suppress him wouldn’t act so recklessly.

As time passed, fewer people cared about him.

In the following days, many people from the Blackheaven Sect arrived.

Moreover, they were very strong. They were strong to the point where Jiang Hao couldn’t see through their cultivation realm.

These people weren’t supposed to come now. Their early arrival was mostly due to the recent incidents.

As these people entered the mountain gate, most of them looked at him.

Some were sizing him up, while others had ill intentions.

some 100Kea at mm witn a muraerous Intent.

Jiang Hao knew that it would be difficult to reconcile with the Blackheaven Sect.

With the Blackheaven Sect people entering, there was finally a resolution regarding Murong Jing’s murder.

After an in-depth investigation by the Law Enforcement Hall, traces were found leading to overseas.

It could be said that people from overseas took revenge on the Blackheaven Sect due to their previous resentment.

As for the other female immortal who was killed, the Law Enforcement Hall also conducted an investigation and ultimately found out that it was the work of the Saint Bandits.

Because the Saint Bandits’ plan was disrupted by the Heavenly Note Sect, they had now come to sabotage the communication between the Blackheaven Sect and the Heavenly Note Sect.

On that day, the higher-ups of the Heavenly Note Sect expressed their anger.

They said they were at odds with overseas and the Saint Bandits. They promised to kill them if they encountered them.

They sought revenge for their fellow cultivators in the Blackheaven Sect.

Jiang Hao couldn’t help but admire the Heavenly Note Sect.

When the Heavenly King Bu Dong was there, they claimed to be at odds with the Blackheaven Sect. And now, shortly after they left, they declared themselves at odds with both the Blackheaven Sect and overseas.

As for the Saint Bandits, they were just thrown into the mix.

After all, they were indeed at odds.

This was just the general situation, and other matters needed to be addressed.

For example, his situation with Senior Brother Bai Yi.

For the stability of the two sects, some people would have to be sacrificed. And he was bound to be one of them.

He just didn’t know how the sect would handle it.

He thought it wouldn’t be too severe. If they were to punish him, making him work in the mines would be a great option.

In the afternoon, Liu Xingchen met him with two people.

“Junior Brother Jiang, we need your cooperation with something.” “Senior Brother Liu, please tell me what I can do,” Jiang Hao said politely.

“We need to visit your house. Would that be convenient now?” Liu Xingchen asked.

Jiang Hao looked at the three people.

“Junior Brother Jiang, if you have something to attend to, please go ahead. We’ll be fine here for a while,” said Nan Yushu.

Jiang Hao nodded and thanked them.

He then followed Liu Xingchen and left.

“How do you think the Law Enforcement Hall will handle this?” asked Nan Yushu curiously as she watched them leave.

Xia Cun and Kong Hu looked at Nan Yushu but didn’t say anything.

They felt like this person was doing it on purpose.

A member of the Law Enforcement Hall was asking how her branch’s disciple would handle the situation with Jiang Hao.

When it finally dawned on him, Nan Yushu smiled awkwardly.

“I don’t have accurate information, but I’ve heard that Junior Brother Jiang is going to be punished. Otherwise, it would be hard to justify things to the Blackheaven Sect. No matter what, the higher-ups don’t want to cause trouble with the Blackheaven Sect.”

Kong Hu and Xia Cun also understood. At this moment, the sect needed stability, and it wasn’t necessary to antagonize the Blackheaven Sect..
