Old Man Corpse Sea was a little puzzled by Jiang Hao’s behavior.
He noticed that everyone around him was acting differently.
It seemed this moment was important to everyone.
Jiang Hao did not seem to mind. He did not seem nervous at all.
Old Man Corpse Sea wanted to hear what he was going to say to the woman in the cell.
He saw Jiang Hao’s lips move but could not hear anything.
Immediately after, Yan Shang’s eyes narrowed, but she composed herself quickly. Then, she glared at Jiang Hao disdainfully.
“What do you mean?” she asked.
Jiang Hao took two steps back. He sighed helplessly.
“I won’t disturb you anymore, Senior,” he said and walked toward Old Man Corpse Sea.
He was not afraid that Yan Shang would complain to the people of the Lawless Tower. They wanted information on Feng Hua, and he knew Yan Shang’s weakness.
Besides, the seniors here had faith in him. They also knew that he was a candidate competing for the seat of the top disciple.
He would not have acted rashly if Feng Hua was close.
Also, she had brought up Xiao Li. She was not an ordinary cultivator. She was also a candidate for the seat of the top disciple like him. But he still needed to take some precautions.
He still had to return the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl to Xiao Li and warn Little Wang to stay in line.
Little Wang’s ability to target and devour primordial souls was not something to be taken lightly.
“You will regret this!” Yan Shang said.
She was terrifying even when she was trapped in a cell.
Jiang Hao ignored her.
Zhuang Yuzhen and the others looked at each other in confusion.
Yan Shang was still threatening Jiang Hao. Had he finally found his match?
Yan Shang did not seem to care about what Jiang Hao had said.
Everyone sighed, but they felt that it was impossible that Jiang Hao was not able to break someone.
Jiang Hao did not know what these people were thinking and did not care. He stood in front of Old Man Corpse Sea. “Senior, how have you been?”
“What do you want to know?” Old Man Corpse Sea asked.
“Senior, do you know anything about the North?” Jiang Hao asked.
“That depends on what you want to know.” Old Man Corpse Sea smiled.
Jiang Hao thought for a moment.
“I heard that there’s a place called the Ancient Sword Cliff in the Divine Corpse Sect. Do you happen to know anything about that place, Senior?”
“Hmm… What do you want to ask?” Old Man Corpse Sea narrowed his eyes.
“Do you know anything about the person who was found on that cliff who apparently asked what year it was?” Jiang Hao asked.
He wanted to know if that person was a dragon from the Ancient Sword Cliff.
Old Man Corpse Sea sat down. “Why are you asking me?”
“Senior, you are knowledgeable about many things,” said Jiang Hao.
“Really?” Old Man Corpse Sea chuckled. “I think you are trying to be too clever for your own good.”
“I wouldn’t dare.” Jiang Hao shook his head.
“Why should I answer you?” Old Man Corpse Sea’s eyes were filled with contempt. “You might have some tricks up your sleeves, but you don’t scare me. Why should I listen to you?”
Jiang Hao knew that Old Man Corpse Sea was not someone who could be manipulated.
He had been in the Corpse Sea and was an important figure from the Divine Corpse Sect.
If he cared about anything in this world, he would not be in the Corpse Sea.
Jiang Hao had nothing to threaten Old Man Corpse Sea with.
There was nothing worthy of catching his attention.
But everyone was curious about what would happen next.
“Senior, what do you want to know? If there is anything you need, I’ll do my best to help you,” said Jiang Hao.
“I’m not someone who can be defeated or caught,” said Old Man Corpse Sea. “I was brought in here but not because your sect was powerful enough to do it. I was injured by an expert when the person from your sect found me. If you can arrange something so that I can challenge that expert again, I’ll tell you what you want to know.”
Jiang Hao looked at the person in front of him and felt that he was deliberately making things difficult for him.
Gu Jin could crush Old Man Corpse Sea.
A single glance might shatter his soul.
It would be suicide to challenge him again. He did not want to fight such a terrifying being.
He had only set such a condition to put this Golden Core Realm cultivator in his place.
That was why he proposed something that would be impossible for such a cultivator to fulfill.
Jiang Hao sighed. “I’ll try my best.”
Then, he turned around and left.
It was easy to make Gu Jin agree to it, but it would be impossible to get Old Man Corpse Sea to Devil’s Den unless the Lawless Tower got involved.
He did not know how Old Man Corpse Sea would react if he could see Gu Jin today.
After Jiang Hao left, Mi Lingyue looked at Heavenly King Hai Luo.
“Heavenly King, what happened to your master today?”
“I, Heavenly King Hai Luo, have no master,” Heavenly King Hai Luo said coldly.
“Senior Zhuang, what do you think?” Mi Lingyue asked.
She was curious.
No matter how they looked at it, they realized that Jiang Hao had failed to scare Yan Shang.
The others usually got flustered and scared after Jiang Hao beckoned to them, but Yan Shang was still threatening him.
“There’s no rush. Let’s wait for a few days and see what happens,” Zhuang Yuzhen said.
The lantern bearer silently ate the peach.
This was the most delicious peach he had ever eaten.
As soon as he walked out of Lawless Tower, Jiang Hao saw Senior Sister Yinsha.
“It’s been too long, Junior Brother Jiang,” said Yinsha as she smiled wearily. “I heard you did something extraordinary at the Dark Lake.”
“Senior Sister, have you just come back from the outside?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.
“Yes. There have been a lot of things happening in the sect recently,” said Yinsha. “Are you coming out from visiting the fifth floor?”
“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.
“That old man… he is not ordinary. He knows many things, but he doesn’t want to cooperate. If you could get him to talk, that would be great.”
Old Man Corpse Sea had no weaknesses. It was almost impossible to make him speak. Perhaps he could try to appraise him.
“I’ll try,” Jiang Hao said.
Old Man Corpse Sea could not just leave the Lawless Tower. He did not know what would happen if he left the Lawless Tower.
‘Maybe I should ask Gu Jin first…’
After bidding farewell to Jiang Hao, Yinsha went into the tower.
After a while, she sat down to rest. Suddenly, she remembered something.
“I forgot to show the letter to Junior Brother Jiang…”
The letter was from Zhuang Dongyun and addressed to Hu Yuexian.
The letter did not have much to say, but it was likely that it might have some hidden signals.
That was why she had not sent it out yet. She had left it in the Lawless Tower.
So far, many people had checked the letter but found nothing.
Yinsha had been busy these few days, so she had neglected the matter.
Even an expert like Zhuang Dongyun was ignored for the moment.
Sect Master Baizhi had yet to give the order.
For the next few days, she had been paying attention to the Lawless Tower, especially the fifth floor.
When Jiang Hao entered, she observed him.
She wanted to see if there would be any changes with the prisoners.
The disfigured woman they had captured was different from the others.
She talked with Mi Lingyue and asked her what Jiang Hao had said to the woman.
Five days later, Mi Lingyue noticed a change.
It seemed that the captive in cell five was getting restless.
“King Hai Luo, it seems your master still has his talent,” she said.
She was excited.
Although she was afraid of Jiang Hao, she was still excited to see what happened after.
No one knew what would happen in the end.
