What about the discoveries on Jiang Hao’s side?
Baizhi thought about it. “Apart from advancing to the late stage of the Golden Core Realm, there is currently nothing unusual. Although some aspects are outstanding, everything is within expectations. Besides, we also investigated the people accusing him, but unfortunately, they were all baseless. Jiang Hao seems highly suspicious, but he is actually very clean. The reason he has connections with various undercover agents might be intentional. He wants to stay on the list of the Law Enforcement Hall, so he won’t be easily sent out of the sect.”
“Why do you think he doesn’t want to go out of the sect?” Hong Yuye looked at Baizhi.
“There is a possibility that he wants to stay in the sect to accomplish certain tasks. He must have his own purpose. Even if he doesn’t, the person behind him surely does. Every time, he manages to stay in the sect. It means someone behind him helps him,” said Baizhi.
“Do you think it’s because he is afraid to go outside?” Hong Yuye asked.
“It’s unlikely.” Baizhi thought for a moment. “Take the lantern-carrying disciple as an example. Since even the lantern-carrying disciple can be manipulated, it’s evident that the person behind him is powerful. Considering the people Jiang Hao has offended, there are probably few who can pose a danger to him. So, they must have some purpose in mind.”
“What do you think the purpose is?” Hong Yuye asked.
“There is a high possibility that it is related to the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower,” Baizhi said.
Hong Yuye nodded and said, “Continue the investigation.”
“Yes.” Baizhi pondered for a moment and added, “Jiang Hao has a pet. It is quite extraordinary. Its origin might also be questionable. Do you want to investigate?”
“Is it suspicious?” Hong Yuye asked.
“A bit.”
“Then investigate,” Hong Yuye said calmly.
Baizhi nodded. “In addition, it seems like Smiling San Sheng has appeared in the sect. Originally, there were some anomalies in Devil’s Den, but after Smiling San Sheng entered, the anomalies disappeared. So far, his whereabouts are unknown. Perhaps he is still inside the sect.”
“That is something you need to be concerned about.” Hong Yuye sipped her tea.
“The Great Thousand God Sect and the Heavenly Saint Sect came for the Holy Master’s divine soul, but so far, we don’t know where the soul is. It has no use for us, so we haven’t investigated it,” Baizhi said.
Hong Yuye nodded.
Baizhi sighed with relief. They had a shortage of manpower for a thorough investigation. Fortunately, the Sect Master also didn’t care about this.
After that, she reported on other situations, including numerous discoveries in the mines.
When the report was over, she mentioned the progress of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. Since the flower’s growth was great, Baizhi received another transparent box.
There was a pair of pants inside. The moment she received it, she knew who it was for.
It was clear that the Sect Master also wanted to win over Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao was indeed outstanding, whether in cultivation progress, personal conduct, or his ability for interrogation in the Lawless Tower.
Almost no faults could be found. Such a person being valued by someone powerful was only natural.
The Sect Master’s efforts to win him over were justified. She also didn’t want him to leave.
Judging by his behavior, he could guard the Spirit Herb Garden pretty well.
If he betrayed the sect, it would be quite troublesome.
After Baizhi left, Hong Yuye sat in the pavilion drinking tea. She was looking into the distance and was deep in thought.
Around early February, Jiang Hao handed over his patrol mission report to the Law Enforcement Hall.
The patrol mission was over.
He sighed wearily.
Finally, it was completed, and there wouldn’t be such tasks for the next few years.
He could peacefully improve his cultivation.
In a few more years, he would be able to advance to the late stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform. With the help of high-quality spirit herbs, he might be able to do just that.
After leaving the Law Enforcement Hall, Jiang Hao looked at Zheng Shijiu and others. “That’s it. It’s over.”
Zheng Shijiu thanked him. “Junior Brother Jiang, you’ve worked very hard.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang,” said Lin Mo, Lin Zhi, and Zhao Qinxue gratefully.
Without Jiang Hao, Zheng Shijiu would not have broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, let alone refine his cultivation.
Lin Mo and others were even more grateful. Without Jiang Hao, they might have been dead.
Lin Mo knew some people who didn’t like Jiang Hao, but after meeting him, he was sure that those people were wrong about him.
Regardless of whether Senior Brother Jiang cultivated the Blood Wish Path or not, he is far from ordinary.
His abilities, strength, and personality were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Jiang Hao returned the courtesy. “Thank you all and farewell.”
Jiang Hao then left on his flying sword. Zheng Shijiu also departed.
Back then, they had recruited Lin Zhi and the others into the sect. This time, they had gone on a mission together.
Perhaps this was the end of it. They might never meet again.
They could only hope that they would do better and grow further.
Zheng Shijiu learned a lot from Jiang Hao. He was indifferent to many things and would not get triggered so easily anymore.
Having one less enemy was good survival.
At the Cliff of Broken Hearts, Jiang Hao returned to find that the place was being rebuilt.
The Cliff of Broken Hearts had taken most of the brunt of the battle and lost a lot.
Jiang Hao sighed and returned to his courtyard.
As soon as he stepped in, he frowned. ‘Someone is here…’
Hong Yuye had given him the formation, and he had set it up. Only the spirit beast and Xiao Li were free to enter it. Others couldn’t get in.
Hong Yuye could enter too, since the formation was hers.
There had been no other aura in the formation until…
Jiang Hao activated the formation and tried to condense the aura. Soon, a black shadow appeared in the courtyard.
The shadow stood in front of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.
It didn’t approach or touch it. It just looked at it like that.
The shadow disappeared after a short time.
“That aura…” Jiang Hao felt that the shadow was similar to the lantern-carrying disciple from before.
“He came here so openly?”
He knew he was being watched by Elder Baizhi’s people. He wondered if they saw the person observing the flower in his courtyard.
“So, he found me not to talk about things, but he knew I had the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower…”
He was sure that the aura in his courtyard belonged to that person.
“Fortunately, he didn’t make a move. He didn’t even touch the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.”
If he had made a move, the commotion would have been huge.
But making a move on the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower…
Hong Yuye would have intervened even before the person could reach the flower.
Jiang Hao cleared the remnants of the aura. Right then, Liu Xingchen arrived.
This time, he brought two people with him.
Jiang Hao was puzzled. He didn’t think he had done anything.
“Junior Brother Jiang, you are indeed outstanding,” Liu Xingchen said in admiration. “I heard that the sect has been trying to find a powerful individual all this time, and you managed to find them. That’s quite an achievement.”
Jiang Hao was speechless.
