After discussing a few more matters, the gathering came to an end with Dan Yuan’s reminder.
Once Jiang Hao left the public forum, he took out his notebook and wrote down the things that they had discussed.
This time, there were quite a few things to focus on:
The Saint Bandits might be associated with the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, which suggested a connection between the Saint Bandits and the Sea Fog Cave.
Chi Tian’s undercover mission had begun, and they would need to rely on Liu for further information. He could then find more information on The End of All Things and about San Sheng.
Gui might come to borrow the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl. He needed to handle this situation carefully and preferably avoid mentioning the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.
There were sightings of the people from the Heavenly Note Sect underwater, and it was speculated to be Senior Sister Yinsha and others. The Sea Fog Cave might connect to the underwater world, and the individuals emerging from there were likely from the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, which was also connected to the Saint Bandits.
These were the four main points. The third was the most crucial because it directly involved Jiang Hao.
The fourth point was also important. If he could help, he would.
However, there wasn’t much information available at the moment. Fortunately, Liu had already started investigating the matter and would provide updates on the situation.
Jiang Hao also needed to be cautious about one more thing. Liu would know that those individuals were disciples of the Heavenly Note Sect, and others might find out too.
He didn’t know if that would cause trouble for the sect, as many would be curious about how they reached there.
“If there are valuable treasures inside, many people will want to explore it.”
“In the near future, some people might come to visit or send undercover agents to gather more information,” Jiang Hao muttered.
However, the Sea Fog Cave was not well-known within the sect, so not many people would investigate it.
After putting away the notebook, Jiang Hao began writing information about San Sheng.
After a long time, he had almost written half a book.
San Sheng didn’t have a tragic past, he acted capriciously, and his emotions were unpredictable. One moment he could be enjoying a drink, and the next, he could draw his sword to kill.
It was said that he originally came from the prestigious Ten Thousand Dharma Sect. He offended one of the sect’s elders, fled, and then returned with a new identity. This time, he had a good relationship with that elder. When the elder fully trusted him, he struck him with his sword.
At this point, his cultivation had surpassed the elder’s, and he was toying with him.
After leaving the sect, he roamed the southern region. He left a smiley face whenever he killed someone. Each smiley face was unique.
Jiang Hao had seen some of these smiley faces on the stone tablet and sketched them.
What surprised him, however, was that there was no repetition among the recorded smiley faces. Nonetheless, it was evident from the records that San Sheng was ruthless and unpredictable, with no code of conduct.
To completely impersonate him, one needed to obtain his treasure, the
Thousand Faces Treasure Fan.
This fan had been taken away by the Blackheaven Sect, but San Sheng would likely retrieve it. The method to activate the fan was known only to him, after all.
So, if someone had the fan and could use it, they would be considered to be San Sheng himself.
The information contained the method of use, which Jiang Hao had read carefully. It was very comprehensive.
There was also information about what San Sheng had done for The End of All Things.
After writing all this, Jiang Hao hesitated for a moment and then appraised his notebook.
He needed to verify if this information was genuine.
[Information on San Sheng: A book written by you, which records most of San Sheng’s deeds. If you were to impersonate him, people would believe that you are San Sheng.]
“It seems to be genuine.”
Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
However, having this identity wouldn’t help him find the other members of The End of All Things. He needed to figure out the contact code. Otherwise, problems could arise.
But to completely take San Sheng’s place, he needed to obtain the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan.
“It won’t be easy to get from the Blackheaven Sect.”
Jiang Hao thought that Xing could easily obtain it. Fortunately, he didn’t need to use this identity for the time being.
When he did, he would most likely be going outside, and there was a high possibility that Hong Yuye would come with him. With her help, obtaining the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan might not be difficult at all.
With these matters sorted out, Jiang Hao put away the notebook and began cultivating.
A little while later, he opened his eyes and decided that today was as good a day as any to visit Bai Ye in the Hundred Bones Forest.
With his decision made, Jiang Hao left his house.
At the entrance to the valley, he stood in place and used the powerful perception that he learned from the nameless manual to spy on Bai Ye.
Soon, he sensed Bai Ye’s aura.
It was still at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, and his injuries hadn’t completely healed.
‘It’s strange. Why is he still suppressing himself with such minor injuries? Perhaps he sensed that I might take action, so he has been restraining himself?’
Jiang Hao believed this was highly likely.
‘If that’s the case, he probably won’t leave the sect. I can’t kill him.’
Bai Ye had contributed a lot to the sect and was a True Disciple. Killing him would mean an affront to the Heavenly Note Sect. Once the Heavenly Essence Soul Modeling Mirror was used, he would also meet his end, which wasn’t worth it.
He decided to wait a little longer.
In the valley, Bai Ye sat on a chair and gazed at the sky.
He felt that he might have escaped a calamity. As long as he continued like this, he would survive.
After a while, Lian Qin walked to the courtyard and was surprised to see Bai Ye there. “Senior Brother Bai, aren’t you going to go inside and rest?”
“I felt a connection to the stars. It seems I can see my own star in the sky, albeit faintly.” Bai Ye smiled as he looked at the stars. “It hasn’t diminished yet. Perhaps I will also have a stroke of good luck one day.”
“But one wrong step, and there will be no turning back from the calamity that follows. In the future, every step will be like walking on thin ice. Even though I might escape one calamity, I could die in the next one at any moment.” Lian Qin didn’t fully understand her Senior Brother, but usually, he was right.
“Do you have any news?” Bai Ye asked.
“I conducted an investigation outside and found that more people are practicing the Blood Wish Path lately. The major sects are preparing to take action because the influence of the Blood Wish Path has spread to their side,” said Lian Qin. “Fingers are being pointed at Jiang Hao of the Cliff of Broken
Hearts, especially due to the rumors. Now, everyone seems to assume it’s him. Moreover, with his cultivation almost at the Golden Core Realm, people think it’s highly likely. While he didn’t harm ordinary people in the Spirit Herb Garden, he is almost certainly doing so outside. This has almost been confirmed.”
“It’s impossible! The Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower is in his courtyard. He wouldn’t be practicing the Blood Wish Path. There should be some connection to Senior Brother Qian Chen, but the situation is more complex than anticipated. There might be other individuals manipulating things behind the scenes. ”
“Go and investigate, but don’t get involved too deeply. It might not be someone we can handle,” Bai Ye said.
Lian Qin nodded. Then, Bai Ye, who had been gazing at the stars, suddenly said, “Wait a moment. Don’t rush to investigate the situation within the sect. Look into the situation outside. There might be some clues.”
Lian Qin nodded.
Seven days later, Lian Qin walked to the courtyard.
“Did you find anything?” Bai Ye asked.
“I found someone who uses the Blood Wish Path. There was an attack outside. They mentioned Jiang Hao’s name and even the Cliff of Broken Hearts,” Lian Qin said.
Bai Ye frowned. “Go to the Cliff of Broken Hearts and tell him the news..”
