Chapter 706: This Time, It Wasn ‘t Me

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly.
He didn’t want to get too involved, and he didn’t want to draw too much attention to himself.
Doing things discreetly and occasionally being noticed were enough for him. He wanted to maintain his current impression without overdoing it.
“Jing, what did you do?” Xing asked curiously.
“When I found the Xuanyuan Sword, I realized that not only had the formation been completed, but the necessary power had also been replenished. Moreover, the contamination on the Xuanyuan Sword had been cleared,” Gui said.
“Contamination on the Xuanyuan Sword?” Liu was somewhat puzzled.
Gui nodded. “The Xuanyuan Sword seals the treasure of the Fallen Immortal Clan, which contaminates the sword. Over the years, the contamination has accumulated.”
“It seems that Jing has done a lot,” Dan Yuan said with a smile.
“So, did the Grand Earth Emperor appear successfully? Did he obtain the sword too?” Xing asked.
“The Grand Earth Emperor succeeded, but the process wasn’t smooth. It was said that the presence of the Dragon Clan was needed. So, even when Shang An of the Clear Sky Sect arrived, he couldn’t help in the end,” Gui said.
The others remained silent and listened.
“The Blackheaven Sect also summoned a True Dragon’s shadow, but it still wasn’t enough. It wasn’t until a blue beam of light appeared that a colossal dragon descended. It helped the Grand Earth Emperor absorb the great force,” said Gui and looked at Jing again.
‘Don’t look at me. I really had nothing to do with it.’ Jiang Hao thought bitterly.
Xiao Li might have made that possible. She was indeed a True Dragon with a remarkable background.
Xuanyuan Tai’s success relied heavily on Xiao Li’s visit to the Blackheaven Sect, but the people at the gathering gave him the credit.
“Jing, do you know what exactly happened?” Liu asked.
He had witnessed the blue beam of light, and his immediate thought was of Smiling San Sheng. At that time, Jing might have been Smiling San Sheng for all they knew.
Jiang Hao didn’t answer, and no one pressed him further. This was how the gathering worked. If someone didn’t answer, no one would insist.
“What happened to the Xuanvuan Sword in the end?” Xing asked Gui.
“It went silent,” she said.
Jiang Hao was surprised. ‘Why did it fall silent?’
Gui didn’t wait for them to ask. “I learned later that seizing the Xuanyuan Sword meant undergoing a trial. The Grand Earth Emperor held it, and he was performing a test. His whole being was shrouded by the sword’s will. The trial seemed to be quite long, which is why the Grand Earth Emperor and the
Xuanyuan Sword fell silent. The Blackheaven Sect could do nothing.”
“Is a trial required every time you touch it?” Liu was curious. ‘Gui, did you…
Gui smiled. “No, I didn’t. What about you, Jing?
Jiang Hao thought for a moment but couldn’t remember the Xuanyuan Sword requiring a trial from him, even though he had pulled it out.
“Not really,” said Jiang Hao. Here, he was a mysterious figure, not an omnipotent one. There was no need to lay claim to everything.
“Didn’t the Blackheaven Sect fight?” Liu asked.
“No.” Gui shook her head. “The Saint Bandits were there. The Great Thousand God Sect, the Fallen Immortal Clan, and The End of All Things were all there.
But none of them made a move. There were people from the Mountain and Sea
Sword Sect and the Clear Sky School too.”
Jiang Hao was quite surprised. There were so many forces involved, and what was even more surprising was that none of them had resorted to violence.
Had they all reached some kind of agreement, or were they looking out for their own interests?
It was probably the latter.
Nonetheless, the Clear Sky School had arrived. It was near the Blackheaven Sect, but it wasn’t very far from the Heavenly Note Sect either. Sooner or later, they might come looking for him or the Corpse Realm Flower.
“Did you manage to imprint the sword’s intent, Gui?” asked Xing. “Of course. I’ll pass it to you in the usual way,” Gui said with a smile.
“I will have your reward ready.” Xing nodded.
Gui didn’t mind, and then she thought of something and turned to Senior Dan Yuan. “Senior, if the Xuanyuan Sword is in a state of sealing something, can it still be touched or pulled out?”
Jiang Hao also looked in Dan Yuan’s direction. Although he knew the answer, he was curious about Senior Dan Yuan’s answer.
“Was the Burning Immortal Formation complete by then?” asked Dan Yuan.
After Gui replied positively, he said, “Then, it should be possible to pull it out as long as you are capable.”
Gui nodded. A moment later, she looked at Jing. “The End of All Things has recently taken action again. Jing, are you free lately? I want to find Yin Zichen. I need to find his whereabouts as soon as possible.”
“Yin Zichen is in the Lawless Tower of the Heavenly Note Sect,” said Jiang Hao.
Huh?
Gui was stunned. She had planned to visit each sect secretly but had unexpectedly found the answer she needed.
She was well aware of the Lawless Tower of the Heavenly Note Sect.
“Is Wu Yang there too?” Liu asked.
“Yes, he’s there as well,” Jiang Hao said.
Liu and Gui were both surprised that they had found their targets so quickly and that they were both in the Lawless Tower of the Heavenly Note Sect.
They couldn’t help but wonder if the best approach would be to just find someone in the Lawless Tower next time.
“What is the Heavenly Note Sect trying to do?” Xing couldn’t help but ask.
Whether it was the people they were looking for, or those Gui and Liu were searching for, they all seemed to be in the Heavenly Note Sect.
It felt like the sect was capturing people and placing them in the tower for something. However, it was also possible that some people chose to hide there
willingly, such as King Hai Luo.
Xing wasn’t the only one who was confused about it. Jiang Hao was also clueless.
He could access various secrets but remained oblivious to the goals of the high-ranking members of the sect.
Of course, the less he knew, the safer he was within the sect. Otherwise, he’d attract more trouble.
“What kind of reward do you want, Jing?” Gui asked.
Since she now knew the location of Yin Zichen, she would naturally need to provide something as compensation.
“Help me deliver a letter,” Jiang Hao said quietly.
“To whom?” Gui asked.
“Just to someone in the southern region,” Jiang Hao said.
Gui didn’t ask any further questions.
After that, Jiang Hao turned to Senior Dan Yuan for the stone tablet to appear for trade.
A moment later, he informed Gui of the letter’s content and the target.
“What can I do for you, Jing?” Liu asked.
For overseas matters, Jiang Hao only needed information about Chi Tian’s current situation. He wanted to know what Chi Tian was up to. Three updates would be enough.
“Alright.” Liu nodded in agreement.
Without further discussion, Xing shared some information. “I heard that the Bright Moon Sect’s secret treasury has been closed, and the one with the
Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is about to step into the mortal realm.
This news has spread throughout the eastern region.”
“So soon? What’s her current cultivation realm?” Gui was surprised. With her progress till now, she might not even be at the Primordial Spirit Realm yet.
A talent like her should not be stepping into the mortal realm with just a
Golden Core Realm cultivation.
The Bright Moon Sect was truly bold.
Jiang Hao was also surprised. It seemed he would have to arrange for Chu Chuan to leave the mountain. However, Chu Chuan had yet to reach the Golden
Core Realm..
