Chapter 504: Would Anyone Really Wipe The Dirt?

In the following days, Jiang Hao did not see Junior Brother Han again.

He heard that he had gone out for training, and he didn’t know how long it would take for him to come back.

In the Spirit Herb Garden, Jiang Hao smiled.

Junior Brother Han’s efforts were admirable. The harder he worked, the sooner he would become one of the top disciples.

He hadn’t received any achievements for a long time. This thing was indeed good for him.

The higher the achievements, the lesser the probability that others dared to mess with him.

But, for Jiang Hao, more contribution would mean a higher possibility of being taken off the suspect list.

In late January, the spirit beast still didn’t return. So, Jiang Hao handed the task of watering the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower to Xiao Li.

Other spirit herbs could stop growing, but he couldn’t take a risk with the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

There were too many people watching him.

Both Elder Baizhi and Hong Yuye were watching him like a hawk.

Xiao Li readily agreed.

After that, he went to the cafeteria and gave enough spirit stones to take care of Xiao Li’s meal.

“Senior Brother Jiang, you don’t have to be so formal. You can give them to me later when you come back,” said Feng Yang.

Jiang Hao was already at the Golden Core Realm, so as a Foundation Establishment Realm disciple, Feng Yang was even more respectful than before.

As his cultivation realm increased, his status in the sect also grew.

“Of course.”

After exchanging a few polite words, Jiang Hao turned and left.

Later, he went to the Outer Sect’s Spirit Herb Garden. With his presence there, it would be much easier for Cheng Chou in the future to manage the garden.

After arranging that, he went to the Law Enforcement Hall.

He found that Zheng Shijiu and the others were already there.

“Senior Brother Zheng, Senior Sister Xin, and Senior Sister Yue, greetings,” Jiang Hao said politely.

Zheng Shijiu felt quite emotional. He recalled the time thirteen years ago when they had gone on a mission together. Jiang Hao had been the weakest among them, and now, he was the strongest. He had even become a team leader.

The changes were truly incredible.

Xin Yuyue was the most touched. Before, she and Jiang Hao were at the same level, but now, she was at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and he was already at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm.

Before Jiang Hao arrived, she was actually feeling conflicted.

She was torn between whether to address him as “Senior Brother” or “Junior Brother,” considering the difference in their cultivation realms.

But he still called her Senior Sister, so she didn’t need to overthink.

Yue You was also surprised. His progress was too fast, even faster than some of the True Disciples.

“Junior Brother Jiang, you’re being too polite. We’re here to cooperate with you this time. Feel free to tell us what you need us to do.” Zheng Shijiu smiled.

“Alright. Thank you, Seniors,” said Jiang Hao with a smile.

That was good. He had been worried that they might have a clash of opinions. These three people had worked with him before, and he couldn’t leave them to die if something happened.

The four of them flew on their swords and headed toward the direction of the Sea Fog Cave.

“Junior Brother Jiang, have you been to the Sea Fog Cave before?” Xin Yuyue asked on the way.

“I have been there once. It gave me a feeling of danger,” Jiang Hao said.

“Danger?” Yue You asked in confusion. She had a large sword on her back. “But I heard that it’s not very dangerous there.”

“Yeah. It seems so on the surface, but it’s just my feeling,” Jiang Hao said truthfully.

In fact, he didn’t know where the danger lay, but he felt it anyway.

“It seems that we need to be careful. By the way, I heard that entering the sea fog this time will affect both vision and perception,” said Zheng Shijiu with the fan in his hand.

Jiang Hao nodded. He had also heard about it. So, he was even more worried.

Unfortunately, during this time, he hadn’t found Yin Wei or anything related to the Saint Bandits.

He could only take it one step at a time.

Zheng Shijiu and Xin Yuyue were grateful. This time, they felt that they were safest with Jiang Hao on the team.

After working with him several times, they understood how unique he was.

He was already extraordinary at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and now, at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, he was bound to be even more exceptional.

At the Sea Fog Cave, they found many people taking a break outside.

“Every month or so, you have to come out and rest for three days at least. Then, you can go back in, ” said a senior as she came to receive and brief Jiang Hao’s team.

She was from the Law Enforcement Hall and was in charge of briefing the ones who had this mission.

“What is our task?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Go to Route Two and take over that area. You don’t need to do much. You just have to guard it,” said the senior.

“What’s over there?” Jiang Hao asked.

The task seemed safe and easy, but he knew that it would turn dangerous. The fact that they were supposed to guard the place meant there was something important there.

Would one Golden Core Realm disciple be enough?

The people working at the Lawless Tower were beyond the Soul Ascension Realm, and they had still disappeared from this cave. One Golden Core Realm disciple was definitely not enough for the dangers inside.

“Don’t worry. It’s not an important place. It’s just that… It feels a bit strange. Besides, there are already people guarding the place. The sect only wants you to take over the task for a while, ” said the senior.

Jiang Hao nodded.

He could only go in and take a look.

But there was a problem. There were already people over there, and he needed to take over. That wouldn’t be easy.

As they entered the cave, Jiang Hao found that there were many sea monsters there.

“What are these?” Zheng Shijiu and the others were surprised.

They were all tentacle-like creatures that they had never seen before. They hadn’t even seen such creatures in the bestiary.

“They call themselves the Sea Patrol Spirit Beasts,” said the senior. “You need to make them familiar with your scent. If there is an accident, they can find you the fastest. You must let them lead the way for you. The poison in the sea fog is not the most dangerous thing here. Losing your way might be the most terrifying thing that you might face. These creatures can guide your way. You can easily tame them with meat. For those with higher intelligence, you can even speak to them.”

Jiang Hao and the others were surprised. The Sea Patrol Spirit Beasts were indeed unusual.

Zheng Shijiu and the others were puzzled. Why were they called the Sea Patrol Spirit Beast when they were actually in the Sea Fog Cave?

With a Sea Patrol Spirit Beast as their guide, Jiang Hao and the others headed further inside.

Surprisingly, this time it was Ah Zha who led the way.

Originally, they had arranged for it to be another Sea Patrol Spirit Beast, but Ah Zha volunteered and left the supervisors with no choice.

Ah Zha was the most trustworthy among the beasts and was said to have acknowledged Elder Baizhi as its master.

Jiang Hao agreed with it. Ah Zha wouldn’t betray them, so there was no need to worry.

With another beast, he would need to be careful.

However, Ah Zha was okay. It could even communicate with them.

At the Heavenly Note Sect, two people looked in the direction of the Sea Fog Cave from a small path.

“They have entered the Sea Fog Cave.”

“Isn’t that just perfect?”

“It’s good, but there are records inside. If they are discovered, wouldn’t they hit the jackpot?”

“It’s unlikely. The sea fog blocks most perception, especially after many years of erosion on the walls. They certainly won’t be able to find anything, unless someone is willing to put in the effort to wipe the walls, and even then, it would take a long time. Is there anyone like that?”

“No. They would at most use techniques or magic treasures. However, that wouldn’t have an impact.”

The two smiled at each other and no longer worried about the matter.

“I heard that the plan is to connect to the cave from the royal family. Is that true?”

“I don’t know. They usually don’t inform us of their plans, but it’s not impossible. Let’s continue to gather what we need.”

“By the way, aren’t you concerned that the person you’re observing seems to have gone there?”

“There’s no rush. We’ll see later. If needed, we’ll go in to save him.” “Hahaha! That would be perfect.”

The two no longer paid attention to the Sea Fog Cave and instead headed toward a crowd.

“When are you planning to contact the people of the White Moon Lake?”

“No rush. We need to wait for things to settle down first. It’s too risky now. If you’re not in a hurry to make contact, I’m even less so. After all, almost everyone anxious has ended up dead.” Boom!

One of them almost tripped.

“I wonder who in the Imperial City is keeping an eye on me? Their cultivation realm is very high too..”
