She sounded indifferent.

“Senior, you must be joking. It got nothing from me,” Jiang Hao said. That deceitful beast and its lies had nothing to do with him.

However, Hong Yuye’s visit was somewhat unexpected.

He was running out of time. He had only returned to get the stone tablet because he needed to attend a gathering.

He had come back today primarily because the stone slab had reacted and needed to attend the gathering.

Now, with little time left, it seemed he would enter the gathering under Hong

Yuye’s gaze.

He wasn’t worried, but he was a bit uneasy.

Hong Yuye chuckled.

After a while, Jiang Hao brewed a pot of tea and discussed the matter of the gathering.

Hong Yuye remained silent as she sipped her tea.

“The Xuanyuan Clan visited you?”

“Yes, but not many. I haven’t seen any particularly special Xuanyuan powerful individuals.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“Do you know why they came?” Hong Yuye glanced at Jiang Hao.

“They want to rise up the ranks.”

“They came for the Grand Earth Sovereign. The Xuanyuan Clan is the most likely to produce the Grand Earth Sovereign. In the past, without their inheritance, they had no opportunity or qualification. Now, with the return of their ancient inheritance and the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Establishment Foundation, they have a chance.”

Jiang Hao was quite shocked to learn there were so many reasons.

“Do you know how the Xuanyuan Clan reclaimed their inheritance?” Hong Yuye sipped her tea.

“I don’t know.” Jiang Hao shook his head.

Hong Yuye’s hand suddenly paused on her teacup.

She looked meaningfully at the person opposite her and smiled. “Is that so?”

Jiang Hao remained silent.

The thoughts of the powerful were difficult for him to fathom.

After a while, Jiang Hao realized the time for the gathering was close. He sat on the balcony.

There was no need to conceal anything.

Hong Yuye wanted people to know that there was nowhere to hide.

In just a few breaths, Jiang Hao arrived in the public area.

He sat in his designated position.

He could only quickly review today’s preparations because he didn’t have much time to prepare at the last moment.

Fortunately, there wasn’t much to prepare. There shouldn’t be any unexpected events this time.

After greeting Senior Dan Yuan, the four of them sat cross-legged.

“Do you have any questions about cultivation?” Dan Yuan asked.

Jiang Hao was silent, and Gui was too.

Xing was still cultivating his avatar.

And Liu seemed to be in a less-than-optimal state.

They asked some cautious questions.

Dan Yuan answered each question meticulously.

Afterward, they asked about Heaven Lock.

All of them turned to look at Jiang Hao.

They knew that the topic was related to Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao had thought about this situation for a long time. He hesitated for a while before he said in a low voice, “The content of Heaven Lock cannot be viewed directly.”

The others were shocked.

They were all wondering what he meant.

Was it because someone had already viewed it?

Jiang Hao had already seen Heaven Lock.

Gui was indeed the indispensable member that everyone acknowledged. She was the first to say, “Friend Jiang has seen it.”

Jiang Hao did not deny it.

Heaven Lock was not something he could conceal. It belonged to the Heavenly Note Sect.

So, revealing a little about it wasn’t a big deal.

“Young friend, do you think that if a strong individual were to go to the Heavenly Note Sect, could they borrow Heaven Lock to take a look?” Dan Yuan asked softly.

Jiang Hao thought about it and nodded. “It’s possible.”

If it were him, he would definitely not lend it, but Elder Baizhi did not know the content of Heaven Lock. It was not impossible to let Dan Yuan borrow it for a while.

But he wondered if it would cause trouble because he had Heaven Lock and no one else.

“Young friend, is there anything you want?” Dan Yuan didn’t wait for next time.

“The specific location of the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan,” Jiang Hao said.

This was what he had thought of before. If it were in the past, he definitely wouldn’t have asked that.

Now that his impression was established, if he asked about it, they would only think there was a deeper reason for his question.

When Xing heard about the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan, he knew what Jiang

Hao wanted to do.

He thought this identity had been used a long time ago.

He didn’t think much about it.

Dan Yuan was just about to respond when Gui said, “Friend Jiang, are you busy lately? The Thousand Faces Treasure Fan was taken to the Heavenly Note Sect by someone from the Dark Sky Sect.”

“It’s said to be in Elder Duanmu Xiang’s hands, but it’s actually in Elder Xuanyuan Hu’s hands. They are trying to lure Smiling San Sheng into their trap.”

Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised. Gui was actually impressive. She knew so much.

“Do you have some free time, Gui?” Dan Yuan suddenly asked.

“Yes.” Gui nodded.

“Then, Friend Jing is unavailable, may I ask you for a small favor?” Dan Yuan asked. “Could you go to the Heavenly Note Sect and retrieve the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan? As for who to leave it with, let’s leave it with Friend Jing’s confidant, Jiang Hao. The reward can be stacked on top of the previous one, and we will soon be able to offer Snow God Pills.”

Gui was somewhat surprised and nodded in agreement.

Then, Dan Yuan looked at Jiang Hao and smiled. “Let’s use the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan as your reward. How about that?”

Jiang Hao was quite surprised, but to expose himself was indeed troublesome.

He hesitated but remained composed.

With utmost respect, he said, “Thank you, Senior.”

This was something he hadn’t expected. He didn’t think that Senior Dan Yuan would directly give the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan.

He had to face Gui, though.

He wondered if the courtyard’s formations could block Gui’s gaze.

“Gui, have you made any gains in the Imperial City recently?” Dan Yuan asked Gui.

The others also looked over.

This time it was about the Saint Bandits.

“I have.” Gui nodded.

“Can you tell us?” Dan Yuan nodded.

“I found Ji Xueji and learned some information about the Saint Bandits from her,” Gui said. “The Saint Bandits created Heaven Lock back then. They shook the world and intervened in the affairs of the heavens and all clans. No one could stop their path forward. Their goal was absolute.” “What was it?” Liu asked curiously. “The goal?”

He couldn’t imagine how they had shaken the world.

Jiang Hao was also very curious. He felt that the Saint Bandits must have had extraordinary ambitions.

Gui seemed to be waiting for people to ask for more information. “Great Unity of Heaven and Earth.”

Others might not understand, but Jiang Hao somewhat understood it. The Saint Bandits’ original idea was to eliminate the differences between the heavenly and earthly races and achieve unity.

Perhaps others didn’t, but Jiang Hao believed it.

Why would people of such great talent steal other people’s talents? How could they be despised by the heavens and earth?

However, what they had done didn’t seem to be approved of.

‘Where exactly did they go wrong?’ Jiang Hao didn’t know.

He agreed with this ideal of unity, but that didn’t mean he agreed with the Saint Bandits’ methods.

Perhaps as time passed, they forgot their original intentions.

“What does “the Unity of Heaven and Earth” specifically mean?” Xing was very curious.

Those four words carried considerable weight.

Gui just smiled and remained silent.

After being stared at for a while, she could only shrug and say, “I don’t know, Ji Xueji said she doesn’t know either.”

Then, everyone looked at Senior Dan Yuan.

“It should be related to talents and different races,” Dan Yuan said. “From some of Gui’s information, we can see that their plan involves all races within the mountains and seas. Perhaps “the Unity of Heaven and Earth” is about eradicating differences among the races.”

“Such bold ideals?” Liu was shocked.

They had never had a good impression of the Saint Bandits.

But they didn’t expect the other party to be this kind of person.

“Everything eventually returns to the source, but their path differs from ours. Admiration is in its place, but our interests are incompatible,” Xing said and looked at Gui.. “So what happened to the Saint Bandits in the end? Wasn’t it said that no one could stop them?”
