Looking at the map, Jiang Hao noticed that they needed six people for this task, but they only had five.
“It seems we need six people,” said the woman at the Primordial Spirit Realm.
“Yes, but only the five of you are here. I’ll go on the sixth path myself to check it out,” Leng Wushuang said.
The other team members had no issues.
Jiang Hao looked at the map quietly. He realized that the map was very detailed. It even marked the exits and entrances.
If someone with evil intentions got their hands on the map, it would be hard to prevent them from escaping.
Jiang Hao suddenly thought of something.
Perhaps the map was meant for potential traitors. The exits were most likely traps. He couldn’t believe that the first top disciple would be naive enough to label the entrances and exits on the map.
“Let’s go. There will be fog on the way. Your job is not to get lost, and if you have the ability, try to observe your surroundings,” Leng Wushuang said.
Jiang Hao and the others nodded, and each chose a different path to start searching. They all knew that this was not just about finding a person but also a test for them.
The map marked all the exits, which might make them think about how to escape or find allies to escape with.
Jiang Hao wasn’t sure if the others had any hidden motives or if they had allies among them. At this point, he walked along the path to see if he could find anyone.
At his current realm, he should be able to handle it. He could escape if necessary.
However, he looked up at the sky above the city and had a feeling that there was something up there that was monitoring what was happening below.
He would only act if he could avoid this surveillance. Hasty actions would only lead to capture, so he needed to act within his current abilities and avoid causing trouble.
As they walked, the fog became denser.
The naked eye and ordinary perception were useless. In the end, Jiang Hao closed his eyes and used the nameless manual to sense the changes in his surroundings.
Occasionally, he encountered people on the road, but he didn’t pay much attention to them. He just walked within their blind spots to ensure that he passed without being noticed.
“What kind of place is this? What is the Law Enforcement Hall trying to do?”
“Who knows? Let’s find a place to hide. I heard that some fellow disciples are getting injured. Maybe people can’t kill here, but they can still injure us severely. A slight misstep could ruin our future.”
Jiang Hao listened to their conversation and found the latter’s point quite sensible.
In this place, they should be cautious. Otherwise, their cultivation path would come to a sudden halt, and the risks would outweigh the benefits.
Jiang Hao walked quickly. Halfway through his journey, he didn’t find anyone suspicious.
The compass in his hand didn’t change. ‘I guess it’s not easy to find them. I wonder if these people will head toward crowded areas or hide in corners. If it were me, I’d probably follow some strong people. If the situation doesn’t look right, I’d hide.’
Jiang Hao decided that if he couldn’t find anyone after finishing this part of the task, he would look around on his own.
People moved from one place to another. It was possible that he would miss them on the path.
In a corner of the underground tunnels, two young men stood against a wall. One of the younger men sighed. “We’ve been captured.”
The man with a bit of stubble on his face frowned. “They must be after me.”
“White Moon Lake?” asked the younger man.
The man with stubble nodded. “Probably.”
“This isn’t good. I just heard that Leng Wushuang is here. It seems they are indeed after you,” Yin Wei said seriously.
“Yeah, and the boundary suppression is here too. It’s centered around her. She’s determined to succeed,” Nangong Huo said in a deep voice.
Yin Wei smiled slightly. “The plan has changed. Luckily, we still have a chance to turn the tables.”
“A chance to turn the tables?” Nangong Huo was momentarily stunned. “The person you’re after… Is he here too?”
“Yes. If he’s willing to offer his blood, we won’t lose,” Yin Wei said with a smile.
“We’re almost ready. We just need a special Blood Wish to connect with the
Blood Pool and make it our own. Once that person wakes up, having enough Blood Wishes will break through the total talent cap.”
“But there’s a big problem.” Nangong Huo pointed to his head.
“Yeah, that is a big problem. Besides, we also need to deal with the top disciple to break through the cultivation suppression, escape from the underground city, and return to the Sea Fog Cave as quickly as possible. That way, we’ll be safer. After that, we’ll have to find a way to enter the Blood Pool while avoiding the Heavenly Note Sect. The most difficult part is the first one. When these people return, we’ll be hunted down. But if we want to break the boundary suppression, we have to kill the top disciple. She’s ruthless to the point where she treats herself as the core of everything. If she doesn’t die, no one can surpass the late stage of the Return to Void Realm,” Yin Wei said.
“Leave that to me. No matter how strong she is, she can’t win against me. If nothing else, I can take her down with me. At that time, everything else will be up to you,” Nangong Huo said.
“That would be a loss.” Yin Wei frowned. “Ending it here is too hasty.”
“Yes.” Nangong Huo sighed. “But there’s nothing we can do for now. Who would have thought the Heavenly Note Sect would be this ruthless? I only contacted her just once, and Leng Wushuang is already after me. She’s indeed extraordinary.”
“The Heavenly Note Sect isn’t that strong, but the people here are not to be trifled with. There are so many treasures here. What first-rate sect has so many treasures? That’s so unlikely for a sect that’s only about a hundred years old. ”
“Let’s not dwell on that. We can’t delay any longer. The more we delay, the worse it’ll be for us. Do you have a way to break the surveillance from the Law Enforcement Hall?” Nangong Huo asked.
“I brought this.” Yin Wei took out a leaf and smiled. “With this, the Law Enforcement Hall won’t be able to detect us here for a while. We have plenty of time.”
“A leaf that deceives the eye?” Nangong Huo was surprised. “You actually brought this thing with you?”
Yin Wei waved the leaf. After a moment, the sky seemed to be covered by something.
“Let’s go,” Yin Wei whispered. They were ready to make a move.
At the same time, Jiang Hao suddenly paused.
From the beginning, he could sense that there were treasures in the sky above that were monitoring the situation below. It was the sole reason he didn’t dare to make any sudden movements.
But in an instant, that sensation disappeared.
He raised his head and looked at the pitch-black sky in confusion.
‘Is the surveillance hidden? Or… did someone block this place from surveillance?’
Jiang Hao thought it was the latter.
Without hesitation, he concealed his presence and hid in the shadows. ‘If it’s the latter, it means someone here is ready to fight to the death..’
