“Senior Sister Leng?”
Jiang Hao turned to look at the person who had exclaimed It was an early-stage Foundation Establishment Realm disciple.
When Senior Sister Leng left, many people followed her outside.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Hao followed suit.
He blended in with the crowd and went with the flow.
Before long, he appeared next to the man who had spoken earlier.
He whispered, “Junior Brother.”
“Senior Brother, is there something you need?” asked the man politely when he realized Jiang Hao was at the Golden Core Realm.
“I just returned to the sect. Who is that Senior Sister?” Jiang Hao asked in a hushed voice.
“You don’t know?” the man said in astonishment.
Jiang Hao shook his head.
“That’s Senior Sister Leng. She is ranked first among the top disciples,” said the
man.
Jiang Hao was astonished.
It was actually the first top disciple, Leng Wushuang! She was from the White Moon Lake.
Jiang Hao could clearly sense her cultivation realm. She was at the end of the late stage and would soon advance to the peak of the Return to Void Realm. ‘She is so powerful that her aura carries a chill.’
If Bai Ye had fought her in that contest, he wouldn’t just have failed, he would have died.
“Senior Sister Leg’s presence here is unreasonable. We should just follow her. The people from the Law Enforcement Hall wouldn’t dare to do anything to her,” said the man politely.
Jiang Hao nodded.
It was indeed unreasonable.
Leng Wushuang could leave at any time. There was no way anyone could stop her.
Being the first top disciple, they couldn’t just imprison her without any evidence.
She needed to be willing for that to happen.
This was one of the benefits of being a top disciple.
Jiang Hao also wanted to become a top disciple, but he had to wait for Junior Brother Han Ming to succeed first.
Right now, the lowest ranked top disciple was at the late or peak of Soul Ascension Realm.
At that time, his opponent would likely be Manlong.
As for Junior Brother Han Ming, he had to defeat the current ninth-ranked top disciple.
Then, he would become the ninth, and the previous ninth would become the tenth.
Jiang Hao hoped that Junior Brother Han Ming would have more adventures and rise quickly.
He followed Leng Wushuang outside and once again felt that this place was like an underground city.
The paths branched out in all directions and were extremely wide.
The people who had come out earlier were nowhere to be seen.
Gradually, a mist began to rise around them.
Jiang Hao didn’t think too much of it and just followed Leng Wushuang.
If he followed her, he wouldn’t get into major trouble.
Jiang Hao frowned because he noticed that the people around him were gradually diminishing.
They were getting lost in the mist. Only five people were still following Leng
Wushuang.
What was strange was that two were at the Foundation Establishment Realm, two were at the Golden Core Realm, and one was at the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Among the people from earlier, they were definitely not the strongest.
Could they sense something stronger?
Or did they just sense people in the same cultivation realm?
There was no way they could keep up.
Jiang Hao was already prepared to follow those who had fallen behind, but before he could take action, Leng Wushuang stopped. As she turned around, the surrounding mist disappeared.
“Five is enough,” she said in a chilly voice.
She didn’t say what her intention was.
At that moment, Jiang Hao and the other four looked at their senior sister with some confusion.
Leng Wushuang turned to the disciple at the Primordial Spirit Realm. “What is your relationship with Qian Chen?”
“Senior Brother Qian Chen gave me guidance once… just once. After that, I left the sect. I just returned…” The Primordial Spirit Realm disciple was a woman in a blue robe. She looked nervous.
Then, Leng Wushuang turned to Jiang Hao. “And you?”
“Senior Brother Qian Chen contacted me once. He asked about the Blood Wish Path and also some information on spirit herbs. After that, I didn’t see him and only just found out that he got into some trouble,” said Jiang Hao.
That was the only connection they shared. Next was the Golden Core Realm disciple.
“And you?”
“I only asked him some questions about alchemy once. Everyone told me that
Senior Brother Qian Chen helped with issues, so I went and asked him about it.”
Leng Wushuang looked at the two Foundation Establishment Realm disciples. “What about you too?”
“I happened to meet him when I was on a mission to take care of the spirit herbs.”
“Me too.”
Leng Wushuang nodded.
She fell silent for a moment. “I need your help with something. If you complete this task, you will be able to leave this place as soon as possible. However, if you have any problems of your own, don’t even think about escaping from here. Qian Chen’s situation is more serious than you think.”
“What’s the task, Senior?” the Primordial Spirit Realm disciple quickly asked.
She was the only woman among the five people. Others were all men.
She didn’t mind because the combined strength of the other four was not a match for her.
“Help me find someone. Later, when the mist reappears, you will need to use the magical tool I give you to find them. The key is not to get lost. However, you don’t need to worry about whether the other party is dangerous. Once you find them, I will come to you immediately. Rest assured. These dungeons have realm suppression ability, and the highest level is in my realm. Among the same realm, no one can be my match,” Leng Wushuang said calmly.
Jiang Hao was a bit surprised. He realized that the first top disciple was indeed different.
Just to be safe, Jiang Hao appraised her.
Within a breath, the feedback appeared.
[Leng Wushuang: Body of the Martial God. The top-ranked disciple of the Heavenly Note Sect. A True Disciple of the White Moon Lake. She is at the late stage of the Return to Void Realm. She came to the Law Enforcement Hall because of the commotion.
She needs a few individuals with keen perception to move in all directions.]
Jiang Hao was surprised.
‘Body of the Martial God?’
He wondered who had tried to harm Senior Sister Zhou Chan.
Leng Wushuang couldn’t find the person outside, which indicated that the person had significant power and strength.
So, using this opportunity, she planned to capture the suspicious individual, and then use her cultivation to capture them.
‘Senior Sister Leng is quite concerned about Senior Sister Zhou Chan.’ Jiang Hao was surprised.
In the Heavenly Note Sect, there weren’t many who would go to such great lengths to help a fellow disciple.
This was the case in most normal immortal sects as well.
“But didn’t we all just come from the same room just now?” asked one of the Foundation Establishment Realm disciples.
“No. There are ten such rooms, and I can’t get close to the others. Whenever I get close, I lose track of the person. If someone weak goes to find them, they’ll be less vigilant,” Leng Wushuang said.
Jiang Hao nodded.
It made sense, but not everyone relaxed in front of weaker foes.
However, if someone was truly concealing their cultivation, he would be able to find them.
Senior Sister Zhou Chan was probably the best and the kindest person in the sect. If he could help her, he would. If it was beyond his ability, then he would step aside.
Soon, Jiang Hao received a compass. All five of them received a compass each.
“There are two points in the compass: one is for you to contact me, and the other is for probing into an individual’s cultivation. If the latter fails, and you find the person suspicious, you can contact me,” Leng Wushuang said. “What would make someone appear suspicious in this case?” someone asked.
“That’s for you to judge for yourselves,” Leng Wushuang said.
Jiang Hao accepted the magical tool and was given a map with a planned route..
