Chapter 1654 - Taking Post
Zhao Hai blankly stared at the garbage-filled Ignored Valley in front of him. He didn’t know what to say.
Back in the Hundred Treasures Realm, he was tasked to clean up garbage. He didn’t expect to do the same in the Black Tiger Gang.
As he thought of this, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but remember what Zhang Feng told him. After calling Zhao Hai over, Zhang Feng explained the arrangements made for him. Actually, after hearing Zhang Feng and Zhang Hao’s explanation, Zhao Hai didn’t think much of it since he didn’t know what kind of place the Ignored Valley was.
As soon as he heard from Zhang Feng what the Ignored Valley was, Zhao Hai stared. He discovered how important his ability was for someone like Zhang Feng.
Zhang Hai also knew the reason Zhang Hao chose this position for him. This was a place where nobody would see him. Before long, people would forget that he existed. Then in this place, Zhao Hai can slowly turn the waste materials into useful ones that Zhang Feng could use to win over other people.
Naturally, Zhang Feng knew that he couldn’t treat Zhao Hai unfairly. He would give Zhao Hai everything he needs. Zhang Feng would also take care of any cultivation methods that Zhao Hai required. He would also ensure that what was given to Zhao Hai was the best that the Black Tiger Gang could offer.
Zhao Hai knew that it was now useless to oppose Zhang Feng’s arrangement. Although Zhang Feng has the same aura as the Kong Jian Buddhist, Zhao Hai could feel that he was much more powerful. And it seems like Zhang Feng took his token out in order to make Zhang Hao arrange this post for him. This explained how influential Zhang Feng was in the Black Tiger Gang. If Zhao Hai fell out with Zhang Feng at this time, he would definitely experience hardships.
Most importantly, if Zhao Hai did something unfavorable in this place, the repercussions would reach the Hundred Treasures Realm. Also, it would be better for Zhao Hai if nobody paid any attention to him. The waters of the Great World of Cultivation were very deep. Zhao Hai would need time to observe it. Only after that would he make any plans on how to go forward.
Also, Zhang Feng showed Zhao Hai how much he was valued. Not only did Zhang Feng build a special transmission formation in the Ignored Valley, he also gave Zhao Hai some manuals. Although these manuals wouldn’t be useful for him, Zhao Hai still knew that they were high-quality as soon as he read them.
After Zhang Hao led Zhao Hai to Elder Hu, he was immediately kicked to the Ignored Valley. The old watchman already went home for retirement, so Zhao Hai saw nobody when he arrived.
Originally, Zhang Hao wanted to follow Zhao Hai to the Ignored Valley, but this caused Elder Hu to have suspicions. Therefore, Zhao Hai entered the transmission formation on his own. But at the same time, Zhao Hai left a silver needle in Zhang Hao’s body.
After Zhao Hai went to the Ignored Valley, Zhang Hao went to Elder Hu. Elder Hu politely asked Zhang Hao to sit down before he said, “Junior Brother, how is my arrangement?”
Zhang Hao looked at Elder Hu and knew what the old man wanted to hear. Zhang Hao smiled faintly and said, “I’m satisfied, Elder Hu. Rest assured, this Zhang Hao will not deceive you. Tomorrow, during the outer sect selection, let your grandson come. First Senior Brother ensured that he would enter the Black Tiger Gang as an outer disciple. Moreover, he will be looked after.”
Hearing Zhang Hao, Elder Hu’s face couldn’t help but light up with happiness. He quickly replied, “Thank you Junior Brother. Please express my gratitude to First Senior Brother as well. Brother, how do you want to deal with Zhao Hai? Do you want me to make things harder for him?”
Zhang Hao’s expression changed when he heard Elder Hu. He was aware of Zhao Hai’s value in Zhang Feng’s eyes. If Elder Hu touched Zhao Hai, the consequences might be unimaginable.
Therefore, Zhang Hao quickly said, “No good. Absolutely not. Elder Hu, remember to not do anything to Zhao Hai. Don’t even interact with him. Otherwise, things wouldn’t be great for you.”
Elder Hu looked confused at Zhang Hao. He didn’t know why Zhang Hao reacted so strongly. Seeing Elder Hu, Zhang Hao knew that the other party was suspicious. But he needed to make the matter clear to Elder Hu, otherwise things would become troublesome.
He took a deep breath before beckoning Elder Hu closer. Elder Hu stared for a moment, but he went closer to Zhang Hao. Then Zhang Hao said, “Elder Hu, First Senior Brother already gave word that he will take care of your grandson. He might even receive him as a disciple in the future. And since we aren’t strangers to each other, I’ll make it clear to you. You absolutely cannot touch Zhao Hai. What I said to you before is just a pretext. In fact, First Senior Brother values Zhao Hai very strongly. He wants Zhao Hai to become an outer disciple as soon as possible so that other people wouldn’t snatch him first. He placed Zhao Hai in the Ignored Valley so that he would be out of people’s eyes. First Senior Brother values Zhao Hai more than you and me. If you offend Zhao Hai, then First Senior Brother will not let you off. First Senior Brother regards this matter very importantly. Don’t tell anybody about this, even your closest family and friends.”
Elder Hu spent his entire lifetime in the Black Tiger Gang, so he has seen all kings of matters. Moreover, he has a clear understanding of the gang’s internal structure. So he knew that Zhang Feng had a grudge with the top then Core Disciples. He also knew why Zhang Feng collected talents and sent them to places like the Ignored Valley.
Thinking of this, Elder Hu couldn’t help but wipe a sweat. Fortunately, he clarified this matter. If he did something that shouldn’t be done, then he wouldn’t even know how he died.
Elder Hu hastily replied, “Junior Brother, rest assured, this Old Man knows what to do. I certainly wouldn’t make a mess of First Senior Brother’s matters. But Junior Brother, what you said about First Senior Brother accepting my little Sun as a disciple, is that true?”
Zhang Hao looked at Elder Hu and smiled as he said, “Elder Hu, let me tell you this. Your grandson’s future will have a lot to do with Zhao Hai. First Senior Brother has a reason why he sent Zhao Hai to that place. As for the reason, there’s no need to ask and there’s no need to know. You also don’t have to please Zhao Hai. As long as First Senior Brother’s task is done well and as long as your grandson’s talent isn’t bad, then First Senior Brother will accept him as a disciple. He would even assign him a post that’s better than yours. Do you understand?”
Hearing Zhang Hao, Elder Hu understood. He replied, “I understand. Junior Brother, don’t worry. This Old Man will manage this matter well.” Zhang Hao nodded. He gave Elder Hu a salute before leaving.
Seeing Zhang Hao leave, Elder Hu let out a long breath. Then he felt curious about Zhao Hai. He wanted to know what kind of person he is and why Zhang Feng attached great importance to him.
He had seen Zhao Hai, but he looked ordinary. So he didn’t understand why Zhang Feng valued him this much.
Although he was curious, Elder Hu didn’t even think of seeing Zhao Hai. He learned after spending a lifetime inside the sect that curiosity could kill a person. Whether Zhao Hai offended Zhang Feng or he was being valued, it was not his business. As long as he completes the task, that is enough.

Zhao Hai cleaned his residence in the Ignored Valley before returning to the Space. Before entering the transmission formation, Zhao Hai left behind a silver needle in Elder Hu’s place. It must be known that the Ignored Valley was very far from the Black Tiger Gang. With his surveillance centered in the Handyman Hall, he would understand the sect bit by bit.
Zhao Hai was very careful because he knew that the sect had a lot of Experts. Moreover, these experts had Faith Power. Although they don’t have as much as Zhao Hai, it was enough for them to detect the silver needles.
Zhao Hai now felt the impact of Faith Power. To him, it made things more troublesome. He can monitor Zhang Feng and Zhang Hao because these people weren’t wary of him. If it were other people, it wouldn’t be as easy.
Zhang Feng was a Nascent Soul Immortal Expert. He’s very strong and the amount of Faith Power he had was quite a lot. It was already hard for Zhao Hai to observe him. It was good that he had Zhang Feng’s trust, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to do it.
Zhang Hao, on the other hand, was just at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Moreover, he wasn’t an Inner Disciple, which meant that he didn’t have Faith Power. This made observing him much easier.
Only a few people in the Black Tiger Gang’s outer sect had faith power, only the Elders had it. This made it easier for Zhao Hai to observe the outer sect.
As for the Inner Sect, it would be much more troublesome. Inner Disciples had Faith Power which allowed them to detect the silver needles.
However, Zhao Hai wasn’t too worried. There were a lot of outer sect disciples in the Black Tiger Gang. Not to mention the amount of Serving Disciples. Monitoring all of them would take some time.
