“And what is the fish person’s secret?” asked Hong Yuye casually.

She stood by the lake and sprinkled fish food in the water. Her gaze was fixed on the fishes.

“We don’t know what the secret is yet, but it’s possibly related to Heavenly King Bu Dong’s hurried return,” said Baizhi. “This secret seems to be closely related to overseas affairs. For now, I don’t intend to get involved with it. Our main focus is on finding Feng Hua’s main body. Additionally, we need to deal with the Blackheaven Sect’s provocations.”

The Sect Master remained silent.

“Shall we intervene with Hai Ming approaching Jiang Hao?” asked Baizhi.

“No need to intervene for now. Continue with your investigation on Feng Hua’s matter,” said Hong Yuye.

“The arrival of the Blackheaven Sect is likely due to the Xuanyuan Clan. It is said that their clan has received an inheritance and is now rapidly rising. They probably want to use us as a whetstone,” said Baizhi.

Hong Yuye walked toward the pavilion. Baizhi followed behind.

“The Xuanyuan Clan aspires to produce a Grand Earth Sovereign,” Hong Yuye said softly.

“A Grand Earth Sovereign?” Baizhi was a bit puzzled.

Hong Yuye entered the pavilion and sat down. “With the inheritance they’ve obtained, they indeed have the qualifications.”

“Should we disrupt their plans?” Baizhi asked.

Hong Yuye glanced at Baizhi, who lowered her head in fear. “Maybe cooperate with them for now,” said Hong Yuye. “But what if they do produce a Grand Earth Sovereign?”

Hong Yuye chuckled. “What of it?”

Those few words sent shivers down Baizhi’s spine.

Indeed, the Sect Master was the Sect Master. She was so different from her.

Baizhi calmed herself and reported on other matters.

“Heavenly King Hai Luo has become quite obedient lately and is even cooperating with us. I don’t know what method Jiang Hao used to make him so compliant. Currently, we know that the Great Thousand God Sect is monitoring the four regions and overseas. They seem to have deeper secrets.”

Baizhi stole a glance at the person before her. Hong Yuye sipped her tea.

“We have made no progress regarding the Heaven Lock Technique, but we’ve made a new discovery related to Jiang Hao.”

“What is it?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Yinsha has been acting strangely since her return. We found out from

Nangong Yue that Yinsha met Jiang Hao. She was told to pass a message to him from someone from the depths of the Sea Fog Cave,” said Baizhi.

Hong Yuye’s eyes flickered with interest. “What was the message?

Baizhi shook her head. “We don’t know. When we asked Yinsha again, she couldn’t speak. It seems to be a method from the depths of the Sea Fog Cave. She can only utter the message to the relevant person. I haven’t asked Jiang Hao about it yet.”

“Do as you see fit,” Hong Yuye said.

Baizhi didn’t understand what the Sect Master wanted her to do. But if the Sect Master told her to do whatever she wanted, she had the freedom to do it.

For now, she would postpone this matter. She didn’t know if it would affect the Heaven Lock translation or attract the attention of the figure in the depths of the cave.

Judging from all aspects, she couldn’t match the figure in the depths of the Sea

Fog Cave. She needed to be cautious.

In the following days, Jiang Hao guarded the mountain gate. When he left, he always felt someone was watching him, but no one made a move.

Just a couple of days later, he sensed that someone was about to attack him. The signs were obvious.

It was obvious to the point that it didn’t seem like an assassination attempt at all.

It was as if the person was afraid that he wouldn’t notice it.

At the same time, he was startled when he saw a figure in the distance walking toward him. The person exuded a formidable aura.

It was Hai Ming.

“Young friend, are you heading back already?” Hai Ming asked.

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly. “Thank you, Senior.”

The person who intended to attack him had long since fled. Jiang Hao knew that the hidden person had been just putting on a show. It was probably someone from the Blackheaven Sect.

“No problem. I was just passing by,” Hai Ming said. “I happened to be heading to the Cliff of Broken Hearts. Shall we go together?”

“Sure.” Jiang Hao nodded.

On the way, Hai Ming chatted with him. He mostly talked about the increasing number of people from the Blackheaven Sect, especially the stronger ones. Some of them were from the Law Enforcement Hall of the Blackheaven Sect, who were fierce in their methods and skillful in concealment and killing.

After listening for a long time, Jiang Hao finally understood that Hai Ming was warning him that it was currently very dangerous and would become even more dangerous for him in the future.

But he pretended not to understand his insinuations.

When they arrived at the Cliff of Broken Hearts, Jiang Hao bid farewell to Hai Ming.

The latter seemed indifferent.

‘I wonder how long he’ll put this up.’ Jiang Hao sighed inwardly.

In theory, he couldn’t endure this for too long. After all, if the secret wasn’t discovered in time, he might lag behind.

A little while later, Jiang Hao returned to his residence and glanced at the spirit beast lying next to the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. He felt that something was wrong.

‘Does the spirit beast look different?’

On a closer look, its face was swollen, and it was unconscious.

Jiang Hao knew that Hong Yuye was here.

He looked around but didn’t find anyone. However, he noticed a red figure in the sky from the corner of his eye.

When he looked up, he saw a woman sitting on the balcony. She was bathed in moonlight and appeared ethereal, like a celestial being.

The woman lowered her head to look at him.

That glance was like a gentle breeze that brushed over his face.

He felt his mind blur as though her beauty had blinded him. Soon, he lowered his head and addressed her as “Senior.”

He felt his heart flutter. He almost lost his composure.

“Your beast seems quite unruly. Is it following your lead?” Hong Yuye asked..
