‘This simple leaf obscures everything…’

Though it was just a magical treasure, it had its own charm.

He already knew how to use it because Yin Wei had told him.

This magical treasure was impressive. It could conceal a certain area, and the effect was not bad.

The only thing he didn’t know about was how long it lasted and the side effects of using it.

Even the most powerful magical treasures couldn’t be used by everyone. If I was a treasure that everyone could use, there were always restrictions.

This one was user-friendly with minimal consumption. It has practically no restrictions.

As far as Jiang Hao knew, only the Daily Appraisal ability consumed very little spiritual energy while being used.

Other abilities were either slow or consumed a lot of energy.

The Indestructible Vajra consumed lifeblood but not very excessively.

That ability was very useful. He had used it against Yin Wei.

When the Indestructible Vajra was used with the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield, it was even more powerful.

The shield was powerful from before, but now, it was astonishing.

If he restricted everything else and fully activated the Indestructible Vajra, it might yield even more surprising results.

After sealing the Leaf of Concealment with purple energy, Jiang Hao put it away.

He needed to appraise it tomorrow to ensure it was safe to use.

It seemed the Saint Bandits were not particularly wealthy.

Now that the mist had dispersed, he hesitated for a moment before retrieving his compass. He needed to report to Senior Sister Leng.

However, when he went there, he found the compass near the spot where Senior Sister Leng had been fighting.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Senior Sister Leng there. She was trying to calm her breathing.

She immediately noticed his presence.

“Senior Sister Leng,” Jiang Hao said respectfully.

Leng Wushuang looked at him. “The mist has cleared. Do you feel like you completed your task? Are you here for the compass?”

Jiang Hao didn’t answer. He waited for her to continue.

“Do you still have the map?” Leng Wushuang asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“In that case, leave through the exit. If you follow my instructions, they will let you pass,” Leng Wushuang said.

Jiang Hao took out the map and looked at it in disbelief. ‘Is the marked exit real?’

“Thank you, Senior Sister.” Jiang Hao didn’t hesitate. He would follow her instructions.

Even if he couldn’t leave, they wouldn’t be able to keep him here for long. If they didn’t use the Heavenly Essence Soul Modeling Mirror, it would be challenging to track him.

After bidding farewell to her, he left.

Leng Wushuang didn’t say much.

A little while later, Jiang Hao arrived at the exit.

It seemed like a fight had broken out here. Blood stained the ground.

When he appeared, a Return to Void Realm cultivator blocked his way.

“Are you leaving, Junior Brother?” asked a scary-looking middle-aged man.

“Senior Sister Leng asked me to go through here,” Jiang Hao said and handed over the map.

“Which branch are you from?” The man who received the map had a deep voice.

“I’m Jiang Hao from the Cliff of Broken Hearts,” Jiang Hao said truthfully.

“Jiang Hao from the Cliff of Broken Hearts?” The middle-aged man was taken aback. He then sighed in frustration.

“Come with me,” he said. “I’ll see you out.”

As they walked, Jiang Hao couldn’t help but ask, “Senior Brother, you seem troubled. Is everything okay?”

“It’s because of you, Junior Brother. Your matter has caused quite a controversy. The Lawless Tower is demanding your release, and both the Task Hall and the Merit Hall have started making things difficult for us. They say your contributions are outstanding, and even if they aren’t very apparent this time, it’s not something our Law Enforcement Hall can easily meddle with,” said the middle-aged man with a sigh.

“Now, we’re under a lot of pressure, especially since we haven’t closed this place yet, and Senior Sister Leng hasn’t come out. We can’t afford to take risks. So, Junior Brother, your voluntary exit is really a great relief, and it’s all thanks to Senior Sister Leng for allowing you to leave.”

“Do you know many people from the Lawless Tower, Junior Brother?” asked the man curiously.

“I used to work in the mines, so I got to know some seniors from there. In the Sea Fog Cave, I met them again and formed a bond,” Jiang Hao said vaguely.

The middle-aged man understood. “I see, that’s why your contributions at the

Sea Fog Cave were considered outstanding, and you’ve helped the Lawless Tower quite a bit.”

Jiang Hao smiled in response.

When he saw the sunlight outside, it seemed like an entirely different world.

He hadn’t spent much time down there, but quite a few things had happened.

Yin Wei’s matter had come to an end. Hopefully, the Blood Wish Path wouldn’t cause him more trouble.

However, many people still believed he practiced the Blood Wish Path. Some of them would surely seek him out to ask about cultivation problems.

While it might be troublesome, these issues weren’t very big.

The benefits of that assumption were also quite evident. It allowed him to advance without encountering opportunities outside.

By following Han Ming’s lead, he wouldn’t draw too much attention and wouldn’t be met with hostility.

Han Ming’s success would distract others from him. That way, he could tend to the spirit herbs in the Spirit herb garden in peace.

Perhaps the Cliff Master would even let him be in the Spirit Herb Garden forever.

After bidding farewell to the senior, Jiang Hao left.

By early October, the peach tree had borne fruits.

Xiao Li hadn’t returned to the sect yet, so he needed to pick the fruits and give them away.

Luckily, it hadn’t been long since he left. Otherwise, if Hong Yuye found out he had neglected the flower again, the consequences would be dire.

“Junior Brother Jiang, you’re out?” Liu Xingchen walked over to him in surprise.

Jiang Hao greeted him.

At that moment, Liu Xingchen seemed more stable than before, and his aura had also calmed down a little.

It would take a long time to get rid of the taint on his soul completely.

‘It’s a pity that I can’t appraise him. I can’t figure out what happened.’ Jiang Hao sighed inwardly. He was curious about what Liu Xingchen had been up to.

Where have those three remnants gone now? Were they consumed completely?

Upon closer inspection, Jiang Hao noticed another aura on Liu Xingchen.

It carried a hint of malice but was exceptionally faint.

“Do you know what happened while you were away, Junior Brother?” Liu Xingchen smiled.contemporary romance

“Was the sect attacked again?” Jiang Hao asked.

He looked around. It didn’t seem like there had been a fight.

“It’s not an attack. Just a few days after you were detained, representatives from the Lawless Tower visited the Law Enforcement Hall and inquired about your situation. They asked if there was any evidence against you, and since there wasn’t any, they demanded your immediate release,” Liu Xingchen said excitedly.

“Then, something happened that hasn’t happened in a long time. The Law Enforcement Hall was split two ways. The Task Hall and Merit Hall, usually very inactive in the matters of the sect, banded together and demanded the Law Enforcement Hall to release you immediately.”

Jiang Hao looked at the person in front of him. Liu Xingchen looked very excited as though he had witnessed a great spectacle.

However, Jiang Hao was puzzled. Why would the Lawless Tower suddenly make such demands?

“Why would the Lawless Tower suddenly do that?” he asked.

Liu Xingchen narrowed his eyes at Jiang Hao. “Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that, Junior Brother?”

Jiang Hao felt this person before him becoming more and more interested in the matter concerning him.

In truth, Jiang Hao really didn’t know why the Lawless Tower was putting pressure on the Law Enforcement Hall unless there was something urgent that they required his help with..
