Jiang Hao was surprised at the information he received.

‘Mi Lingyue?’

It was the person mentioned by Liu. She was indeed captured!

‘However, her situation is quite unusual.’

She was supposed to be an undercover agent, but she was unlike anyone he had seen before.

She had genuinely fallen in love with someone and even had a child. She had kept it a secret, too!

Now she wanted to leave the Great Thousand God Sect for the sake of her child.

Her purpose matched what Hai Luo had said about powerful luck.

Jiang Hao was curious. ‘Could such an elusive thing really be found?’

He didn’t find it in the ruins back then, and even after bringing out the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, he didn’t find it either.

Hong Yuye told him that the supreme luck would return to the world.

He found it unlikely.

Jiang Hao didn’t know much about it and didn’t need to worry about it.

As for making Mi Lingyue cooperate, there was no need.

The purpose of his trip to the Lawless Tower was to get Hai Luo to cooperate. He didn’t want to be involved in unnecessary things.

Jiang Hao glanced at the woman and then turned and left.

“Hey, what’s the matter? Come and tell me. If you don’t, I won’t cooperate with you anymore,” Mi Lingyue shouted.

Jiang Hao ignored her.

As for Zhuang Yuzhen, he just wanted to know about the Heavenly Fragrance

Dao Flower. However, obtaining the flower turned out to be extremely difficult.

Besides, his Corpse Heart was still in Jiang Hao’s hands. As long as he remained in the Lawless Tower, he would be threatened.

There was no need to rush.

Jiang Hao left the fifth level while Mi Lingyue shouted behind.

The extra information didn’t concern him. However, it was still useful to know more about Mi Lingyue.

In the next gathering, he could relay the information to Liu.

Zhuang Yuzhen glanced at Mi Lingyue. “I advise you to not be like Hai Luo. You might get yourself into trouble.”

“I don’t believe that a few words from him can make me give in so easily,” Mi Lingyue said confidently.

Hai Luo looked up at the ceiling. “Back then, I was also this confident.”

“You were just as confident a few moments ago.” Mi Lingyue sneered.

“Unfortunately, your confidence didn’t last long.”

Zhuang Yuzhen felt bitter as he recalled his own experience.

He was also quite arrogant before, but now, he felt afraid whenever he saw Jiang Hao beckoning through the cell bars.

Hai Luo’s face darkened. “After I get out, I will crush the entire Heavenly Note Sect and exterminate all the demonic sect. That’s my duty!”

Zhuang Yuzhen nodded. He had never hated a demonic sect like this before.

“Hai Luo, what did that Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator say that made you surrender like this?” Mi Lingyue asked.

“Hehe… when did I surrender? I’m just playing with him. Don’t tell me you took that seriously!”

Jiang Hao returned to his courtyard. The spirit beast was lying in front of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and sniffing it.

Fortunately, it only seemed to sniff plants. If it tried the same thing with Xiao Li, Jiang Hao would have clobbered it on the head.

Jiang Hao thought of Gui. She seemed to have a lot of connections in the southern region. She must have found out about Mi Lingyue too.

He shouldn’t compete with her. Maybe he could just add to her findings.

That way, he could demonstrate his magnanimity and his intelligence.

The only troublesome thing was that he hadn’t received any news about Gu Qing yet.

It wouldn’t be good to show that he knew too much. What he needed to do now was to maintain balance and treat everyone equally. He needed to gain their respect and not provoke them in any way.

Jiang Hao was curious about which sect Gui belonged to.

The Corpse Realm was closed, and the people from the Divine Corpse Sect might have left already.

‘Would she stay behind?’

He couldn’t ask about that. It would attract unnecessary attention.

Jiang Hao took out some spirit herbs and planted some in the courtyard. The better ones were sent to the Spirit Herb Garden, and the rest were sealed. However, he couldn’t keep them sealed for long. They would wither.

Having too many spirit herbs would be problematic to sell.

‘After selling the herbs, I would have to spend a little bit more spirit stones…’

His cultivation now was at a level where people mostly saved spirit stones to buy a Heavenly Rejuvenation Pill to advance to the Golden Core Realm. He needed to pretend to do that too.

If he sold enough spirit herbs, he could earn enough to buy two such pills.

He needed to buy a saber. The previous one had cracks on it, and he had impaled it in a corner of the courtyard.

This time, he would buy a Golden Core magic treasure. He would search for the cheapest one he could find. It would cost about three thousand.

In one night, Jiang Hao had collected many spirit herbs. The most ordinary ones were planted in the courtyard, while the better ones were taken to Spirit Herb Garden.

He pretended that these were all the gains from this trip.

The rest of the spirit herbs were placed in a room and stored away.

The next day, Jiang Hao arrived at the Spirit Herb Garden early and found the senior who oversaw the management of the garden.

“Are you fostering these herbs here?” asked the senior.

Since Jiang Hao worked in the garden, the senior gave him a discount for fostering the herbs.

Jiang Hao gave him two spirit stones. The senior smiled and let Jiang Hao choose a location he liked.

Jiang Hao found a spot and began planting the herbs.

The spirit herbs looked like they were wilting. He had done that deliberately.

If the spirit herbs were in perfect condition, it would raise suspicion. After he finished planting the spirit herbs, Cheng Chou walked over to him.

“Senior Brother Jiang, the people I told you about yesterday? They’re here. One from the inner sect, three from the outer sect, and eight ordinary non-cultivators,” Cheng Chou said.

“Good.” Jiang Hao nodded and walked outside.

At the entrance of the Spirit Herb Garden, Jiang Hao saw a late-stage

Foundation establishment Realm cultivator leading the group to the garden. “Senior Brother Tian,” said Jiang Hao in a polite greeting.

He knew Senior Brother Tian.

“Junior Brother Jiang, it’s been a while.” Senior Brother Tian smiled. “Today, I brought Junior Sister Gu Qing with me. She seems to be interested in spirit herbs and wants to help in the Spirit Herb Garden. I hope you can let her assist here for a while.”

‘Gu Qing?’

Jiang Hao turned to look. A beautiful woman was standing beside Senior

Brother Tian.

She was clutching her clothes nervously.

‘Is she using a charm technique?’

Jiang Hao had seen something like this before, but he wasn’t entirely sure.

That wasn’t the only thing. Her spiritual energy, her lifeblood, and her aura were all strange.

It didn’t seem like she was at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Jiang Hao was on guard. He felt that she was dangerous.

‘Is she an undercover agent?’

He wasn’t sure, but he smiled at Senior Brother Tian. “Of course.”

“Thank you, Junior Brother Jiang. I have a task outside the sect, so I won’t be able to look after her for a while. I’ll leave her in your care,” he said.

“I’m very sorry for troubling you two, Seniors,” said Gu Qing softly.

Her voice was pleasant to the ears. However, Jiang Hao felt nothing.

After Senior Brother Tian left, Jiang Hao checked the others. He didn’t find anything amiss.

It would take time to examine them individually to be sure whether they concealed any dangers.

For today, Jiang Hao was going to use his appraisal on Junior Sister Gu Qing.

She seemed suspicious..
