Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin MO and Zhao Qingxue were meditating.

They were thinking about how to proceed next. They had planned this for a very long time. They couldn’t let Jiang Hao ruin their plans.

The only solution was to go their own way.

They needed to find an opening to meet the patrolling members of the Candlelight Pill Pavilion and then pass through.

However, before they could start discussing their next step, a sudden Golden

Core aura spread everywhere.

They were startled.

They rushed over and found that Senior Brother Zheng had advanced unexpectedly to the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. This surprised them.

How had he advanced here of all places?

Lin Zhi was deep in thought, and Jiang Hao was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

When the two arrived, Jiang Hao made a shushing gesture and told them to step back.

Zheng Shijiu shouldn’t be disturbed in the middle of advancement.

Jiang Hao switched patrols with someone the next day and waited for Zheng Shijiu to finish his advancement.

It took three days.

Senior Brother Zheng successfully advanced, with Jiang Hao guarding him throughout.

Ordinarily, it would have taken a longer time.

“Sorry for the trouble, Junior Brother Jiang,” said Zheng Shijiu in gratitude.

He knew that advancement required its own tand disrupting it in the middle was fatal.

They could take from a few days up to a month.

This time, it was quick because Jiang Hao helped.

“It was nothing, Senior Brother Zheng,” Jiang Hao said politely.

After that, he planned to start patrolling again.

During these three days, Lin MO and Zhao Qingxue spent most of their toutside. Jiang Hao didn’t pay much attention to them.

Since he had mentioned that they could use that tfor anything, he had no right to meddle.

He had only told them not to cause trouble with others.

They were resting outside the outer gate during patrols, with Jiang Hao leading the way.

They avoided crowded places. Their task was to patrol quietly.

“Senior Brother, after patrolling, can we have sfree time?” Lin MO suddenly asked.

“Sure. Half an hour of free time,” said Jiang Hao.

“Can we split up during patrols?” Lin MO looked at Jiang Hao. “Sometimes, patrolling separately is faster and more thorough. Junior Brother Lin, Junior Sister Zhao, and I would like to try it by ourselves.”

Jiang Hao looked at them.

It was unreasonable to split up, but if they wanted to go to the alchemy area of the Candlelight Pill Pavilion that badly, he wouldn’t stop them. If he refused, they might do something stupid later.

“Sure. But do it at your own risk,” said Jiang Hao.

“Alright.” Lin MO nodded. “We understand the rules.”

“Sometimes danger comes silently. Be careful during your patrols and know when to retreat. Sometimes, the enemy may not want trouble, so they might strike stealthily,” said Jiang Hao.

Lin MO and the others agreed.

Jiang Hao didn’t know whether they took it to heart, and it didn’t matter to him.

On the other side, in the forest, a blindfolded man with a lantern appeared at the edge of the forest with a young man.

“Senior, this should be the place,” the young man said. “This should be the outer gate of the Heavenly Note Sect.”

“We arrived so quickly,” the blindfolded man said with a sigh. “Are the people here dangerous?”

“It’s hard to say,” the young man said. “For you, Senior, it shouldn’t be too dangerous.”

“You’re joking,” the blindfolded man said softly. “If the Holy Master’s divine soul was snatched away in this place, it means this place is not so simple. The people here might be quite dangerous. Otherwise, why is the Heavenly

Fragrance Dao Flower still thriving here? Let’s go. Someone is coming this way. They must have noticed us.”

“Someone is coming?” The young man frowned and looked at the people who appeared at the edge of the forest.

“Who are you?” Zhao Qingxue asked.

Jiang Hao wanted to stop her but couldn’t in time.

The two people suddenly speared at the edge of the forest and caught him off guard.

Otherwise, he would have steered the group away.

Zhao Qingxue had already spoken, so they couldn’t pretend to not have seen these two people.

It wasn’t normal for someone to carry a lantern in broad daylight.

Considering the fluctuations in spiritual energy, these two were definitely not ordinary.

The young man next to the blindfolded man let off a murderous intent.

“What’s the matter, little girl?” The blindfolded man walked out of the forest. Jiang Hao felt the surrounding aura change when they appeared in front of them.

He didn’t let Zhao Qingxue speak.

“Seniors, why are you here at the outer gate?” asked Jiang Hao.

“We were just taking a relaxing stroll.” The blindfolded man turned to Jiang Hao. “Are you on duty here, Junior?”

“Yes. Apologies for the interruption,” said Jiang Hao.

“Do you have something to ask?” said the blindfolded man politely. “We will cooperate fully.”

“No need. You’re free to go, Seniors,” Jiang Hao said.

Zhao Qingxue wanted to speak, but Jiang Hao stopped her.

After the people left, she said, “Senior Brother Jiang, those two are suspicious.”

“Suspicious?” Jiang Hao turned to look at her. “What’s so suspicious about them?”

“The lantern in broad daylight, for one. There is no such person in our sect. If there were, we would have heard rumors, ” Zhao Qingxue said seriously.

“Yeah.” Jiang Hao nodded. “Indeed, there aren’t any. But what if they are someone who has been outside for a long tand are returning?”

Zhao Qingxue hesitated. “Then, we should ask which branch they are from. We can at least verify. Moreover, he seems nice. He said he’d cooperate.”

Jiang Hao nodded slightly and didn’t say much. He left.

He knew they were from the Great Thousand God Sect.

He activated the Reversal of the Great Thousand Spirit. The two people were definitely from the Great Thousand God Sect.

The one holding the lantern was especially powerful.

There was no need to create trouble when they could avoid it. He could report it later.

It was surprising that someone from the Great Thousand God Sect had entered the forest.

Meanwhile, the blindfolded man continued ahead.

“You’re just letting them go, Senior? Shouldn’t we eliminate the witnesses?” the young man asked.

“No. We should adhere to the rules here. Besides, they were very polite, so we should return the favor. We aren’t here for them anyvvay. There is no need to create unnecessary trouble. Moreover, we should understand. They’re just doing their jobs. We are all practitioners on the path of cultivation, and the road beneath our feet is not always easy. There’s no need to make things difficult for each other,” the blindfolded man said calmly.

The young man didn’t fully understand it, but he didn’t press further. He was more concerned about what to do next.

“Should we go find the Saintess of the Heavenly Saint Sect now?”

“No rush. The Heavenly Saint Sect may have valuable information. There are bound to be strong individuals around them. Let’s explore first. Perhaps we’ll find other things. Besides, more people from the Heavenly Saint Sect will likely appear. There’s no need for us to rush,” the blindfolded man said as he looked at the sky..
