Jiang Hao was confused about how Gu Qing had managed to pass on the message to the Fallen Immortal Clan.
She had been at the Lawless Tower all along and was later taken away by Xu Bai. She didn’t have any contact with others. At most, he had gone there for a visit.
Suddenly, it dawned on Jiang Hao. ‘The mines?’
The mining site was the most unregulated place and the easiest place to pass on information.
Gu Qing had a grudge against him, so she would undoubtedly use various methods to spread unfavorable news about him.
‘I should have followed her to the mining site on her first day there.’ Jiang Hao sighed.
He had nothing more to say.
Unfortunately, there wouldn’t be another chance.
He could only deal with the current situation for now.
However, the outcome he had imagined had not yet come to pass.
“I have a question,” Gui said. “According to Xing, there will always be people spying on the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl. If everyone knows that the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl is in Jiang Hao’s hands in the Heavenly Note Sect, what will we do? It would be impossible for the whole Heavenly Note Sect to defend it, let alone a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.” She had asked a good question, and Jiang Hao was pleased. That was the exact question he needed the answer to.
If no one brought it up, he would have had to bring it up himself.
Now that Gui had asked it, he was pleased.
Xing hesitated for a moment. “Can I take it away when the time comes?” he asked Jiang Hao.
“Of course.” Jiang Hao agreed without hesitation.
He had planned for the Bright Moon Sect to take it away anyhow.
However, since the person spying on him had been caught and no news had leaked, he didn’t need to rush.
Furthermore, he now had a guarantee of safety.
All eyes turned to Dan Yuan.
“Then, it’s settled.” Dan Yuan nodded.
Jiang Hao understood that no one was willing to take responsibility for the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.
Because of him, he could control the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl. After all, he had prevented an eruption before.
For the time being, no one else would get involved.
A slight misstep could lead to destruction.
The matter of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl was too huge for everyone to remain calm.
They felt that Jing was always quiet, but when he did speak, it was a big deal.
“Speaking of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, I’ve noticed that some overseas individuals have retreated. Both the Blackheaven Sect and the Immortal Sunset Sect have taken action. After all, once the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl is found, the danger lies in the southern region, and they obviously won’t allow that,” Gui said.
Then, she looked at Jiang Hao.
She couldnt have imagined that such a pearl could be handled by such a reserved person.
And now, it was in the hands of a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.
Was this a show of high regard?
No matter how she looked at it, she didn’t consider Jiang Hao special.
After all, she had interacted with him for a while, and he always acted cautiously.
‘Was it because of that?’
She realized that Jiang Hao wasn’t very reckless and ambitious. He was a very calm and stable person.
She should have tried to get him on their side back then. But it was too late now.
Jing handing the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl to him spoke volumes.
“The matter of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl will certainly continue for some time. Those people won’t give up so easily. With the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl in hand, there are far too many people it can intimidate,” Liu said. “Didn’t I mention a group of people suddenly appearing overseas before? These people seem to be plotting something, and the surrounding seas have suddenly quietened down. Now, some Heavenly Kings are planning to investigate the matter.”
Jiang Hao felt that quite a few strange things were happening overseas.
First, there was a strange phenomenon on the seabed, and now, there was more strangeness on the small islands.
But they hadn’t brought about any significant impact, and he didn’t know why.
After that, Jiang Hao remained silent and listened to their discussion about the recent events.
Gui asked the most questions, so Jiang Hao could also learn a lot.
For instance, he learned what to be wary of when traveling to the eastern region.
Although the Clear Sky School and the Bright Moon Sect were present there, one still needed to be extremely cautious.
After all, the demonic sects in the eastern region were not to be underestimated.
The eastern region was prosperous and filled with talent.
A small misstep could easily lead to danger.
Some time passed, and Jiang Hao exited the gathering.
He let out a heavy sigh.
Then he took out his notebook and began jotting down the key points of the gathering.
First, the Saint Bandit’s mission was still ongoing. The individuals involved haven’t been identified yet, but they are likely to contact those who advance using special methods.
Secondly, it was important to attend the Bright Moon Sect’s Dao Conference to promote the emergence of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.
Finally, the revelation that the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl was given to “Jiang Hao.” He learned from Xing that the spying individual might be from the Fallen Immortal Clan. The news hadn’t spread yet. If rumors become widespread, the Bright Moon Sect will take over the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.
These were the three main points. There was no need to be concerned about the other people targeting the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl for now.
He didn’t know much about overseas matters.
Having a general understanding of the situation was enough.
Of these three points, the first wasn’t too important.
The second required some consideration.
The third was the most crucial.
‘Now they all consider me to be associated with Jing. It’s not necessarily a good thing for me, but at least I have a shield. As long as Jing stands firm, they won’t do anything to me, which will buy me more time.’
‘Exposing the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl also carries risks, but currently, they don’t seem interested in getting their hands on it.’
Jiang Hao thought it over and realized that once a karmic connection was established with the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, it would likely cause a lot of trouble.
However, Jing could prevent the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl from erupting. Thus, it gave them a greater advantage.
Naturally, Jing’s arrangement received some recognition.
More importantly, the impression that Hing had left in the gathering was significant.
He seemed mysterious, quiet, and eccentric. Those were enough for now. The only thing lacking was a clear demonstration of strength.
This upcoming trip to the Bright Moon Sect would expose his true identity.
Jiang Hao sighed.
He stopped overthinking things.
He had made all the necessary arrangements, and everything seemed reasonable.
He had arrived in the southern region as Jing, and when the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl was stopped from erupting by the purple energy, Gui associated the purple energy with Jing.
Furthermore, Xing had mentioned his name before and considered it special. He had also casually mentioned his intention to get in touch with him.
It made sense that he had given the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl to him.
Even if someone had spied his name and seen the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, it would still be within the realm of reason.
This way, everyone attending the gathering would be implicated. If a major danger arose, Xing or Dan Yuan would undoubtedly intervene.
Standing on the balcony, Jiang Hao exhaled a breath of relief.
Everything was going relatively smoothly, but how long it would remain stable was uncertain.
For now, he needed to focus on ascending to the Soul Ascension Realm.
[Name: Jiang Hao]
[Age: 28]

Soul Ascension Realm was right within reach!
In a sect near the sea in the southern region, Xu Bai woke up from his meditation.
He stepped out of his room and arrived at the place where the Fallen Immortal Clan members were imprisoned.
“Xu Bai, just kill us. You won’t get any information from us!” Bu Cang shouted.
“Is that so?” Xu Bai asked softly.. “Any last wishes?”
