She sounded indifferent.
âSenior, you must be joking. It got nothing from me,â Jiang Hao said. That deceitful beast and its lies had nothing to do with him.
However, Hong Yuyeâs visit was somewhat unexpected.
He was running out of time. He had only returned to get the stone tablet because he needed to attend a gathering.
He had come back today primarily because the stone slab had reacted and needed to attend the gathering.
Now, with little time left, it seemed he would enter the gathering under Hong
Yuyeâs gaze.
He wasnât worried, but he was a bit uneasy.
Hong Yuye chuckled.
After a while, Jiang Hao brewed a pot of tea and discussed the matter of the gathering.
Hong Yuye remained silent as she sipped her tea.
âThe Xuanyuan Clan visited you?â
âYes, but not many. I havenât seen any particularly special Xuanyuan powerful individuals.â Jiang Hao nodded.
âDo you know why they came?â Hong Yuye glanced at Jiang Hao.
âThey want to rise up the ranks.â
âThey came for the Grand Earth Sovereign. The Xuanyuan Clan is the most likely to produce the Grand Earth Sovereign. In the past, without their inheritance, they had no opportunity or qualification. Now, with the return of their ancient inheritance and the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Establishment Foundation, they have a chance.â
Jiang Hao was quite shocked to learn there were so many reasons.
âDo you know how the Xuanyuan Clan reclaimed their inheritance?â Hong Yuye sipped her tea.
âI donât know.â Jiang Hao shook his head.
Hong Yuyeâs hand suddenly paused on her teacup.
She looked meaningfully at the person opposite her and smiled. âIs that so?â
Jiang Hao remained silent.
The thoughts of the powerful were difficult for him to fathom.
After a while, Jiang Hao realized the time for the gathering was close. He sat on the balcony.
There was no need to conceal anything.
Hong Yuye wanted people to know that there was nowhere to hide.
In just a few breaths, Jiang Hao arrived in the public area.
He sat in his designated position.
He could only quickly review todayâs preparations because he didnât have much time to prepare at the last moment.
Fortunately, there wasnât much to prepare. There shouldnât be any unexpected events this time.
After greeting Senior Dan Yuan, the four of them sat cross-legged.
âDo you have any questions about cultivation?â Dan Yuan asked.
Jiang Hao was silent, and Gui was too.
Xing was still cultivating his avatar.
And Liu seemed to be in a less-than-optimal state.
They asked some cautious questions.
Dan Yuan answered each question meticulously.
Afterward, they asked about Heaven Lock.
All of them turned to look at Jiang Hao.
They knew that the topic was related to Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao had thought about this situation for a long time. He hesitated for a while before he said in a low voice, âThe content of Heaven Lock cannot be viewed directly.â
The others were shocked.
They were all wondering what he meant.
Was it because someone had already viewed it?
Jiang Hao had already seen Heaven Lock.
Gui was indeed the indispensable member that everyone acknowledged. She was the first to say, âFriend Jiang has seen it.â
Jiang Hao did not deny it.
Heaven Lock was not something he could conceal. It belonged to the Heavenly Note Sect.
So, revealing a little about it wasnât a big deal.
âYoung friend, do you think that if a strong individual were to go to the Heavenly Note Sect, could they borrow Heaven Lock to take a look?â Dan Yuan asked softly.
Jiang Hao thought about it and nodded. âItâs possible.â
If it were him, he would definitely not lend it, but Elder Baizhi did not know the content of Heaven Lock. It was not impossible to let Dan Yuan borrow it for a while.
But he wondered if it would cause trouble because he had Heaven Lock and no one else.
âYoung friend, is there anything you want?â Dan Yuan didnât wait for next time.
âThe specific location of the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan,â Jiang Hao said.
This was what he had thought of before. If it were in the past, he definitely wouldnât have asked that.
Now that his impression was established, if he asked about it, they would only think there was a deeper reason for his question.
When Xing heard about the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan, he knew what Jiang
Hao wanted to do.
He thought this identity had been used a long time ago.
He didnât think much about it.
Dan Yuan was just about to respond when Gui said, âFriend Jiang, are you busy lately? The Thousand Faces Treasure Fan was taken to the Heavenly Note Sect by someone from the Dark Sky Sect.â
âItâs said to be in Elder Duanmu Xiangâs hands, but itâs actually in Elder Xuanyuan Huâs hands. They are trying to lure Smiling San Sheng into their trap.â
Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised. Gui was actually impressive. She knew so much.
âDo you have some free time, Gui?â Dan Yuan suddenly asked.
âYes.â Gui nodded.
âThen, Friend Jing is unavailable, may I ask you for a small favor?â Dan Yuan asked. âCould you go to the Heavenly Note Sect and retrieve the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan? As for who to leave it with, letâs leave it with Friend Jingâs confidant, Jiang Hao. The reward can be stacked on top of the previous one, and we will soon be able to offer Snow God Pills.â
Gui was somewhat surprised and nodded in agreement.
Then, Dan Yuan looked at Jiang Hao and smiled. âLetâs use the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan as your reward. How about that?â
Jiang Hao was quite surprised, but to expose himself was indeed troublesome.
He hesitated but remained composed.
With utmost respect, he said, âThank you, Senior.â
This was something he hadnât expected. He didnât think that Senior Dan Yuan would directly give the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan.
He had to face Gui, though.
He wondered if the courtyardâs formations could block Guiâs gaze.
âGui, have you made any gains in the Imperial City recently?â Dan Yuan asked Gui.
The others also looked over.
This time it was about the Saint Bandits.
âI have.â Gui nodded.
âCan you tell us?â Dan Yuan nodded.
âI found Ji Xueji and learned some information about the Saint Bandits from her,â Gui said. âThe Saint Bandits created Heaven Lock back then. They shook the world and intervened in the affairs of the heavens and all clans. No one could stop their path forward. Their goal was absolute.â âWhat was it?â Liu asked curiously. âThe goal?â
He couldnât imagine how they had shaken the world.
Jiang Hao was also very curious. He felt that the Saint Bandits must have had extraordinary ambitions.
Gui seemed to be waiting for people to ask for more information. âGreat Unity of Heaven and Earth.â
Others might not understand, but Jiang Hao somewhat understood it. The Saint Banditsâ original idea was to eliminate the differences between the heavenly and earthly races and achieve unity.
Perhaps others didnât, but Jiang Hao believed it.
Why would people of such great talent steal other peopleâs talents? How could they be despised by the heavens and earth?
However, what they had done didnât seem to be approved of.
âWhere exactly did they go wrong?â Jiang Hao didnât know.
He agreed with this ideal of unity, but that didnât mean he agreed with the Saint Banditsâ methods.
Perhaps as time passed, they forgot their original intentions.
âWhat does âthe Unity of Heaven and Earthâ specifically mean?â Xing was very curious.
Those four words carried considerable weight.
Gui just smiled and remained silent.
After being stared at for a while, she could only shrug and say, âI donât know, Ji Xueji said she doesnât know either.â
Then, everyone looked at Senior Dan Yuan.
âIt should be related to talents and different races,â Dan Yuan said. âFrom some of Guiâs information, we can see that their plan involves all races within the mountains and seas. Perhaps âthe Unity of Heaven and Earthâ is about eradicating differences among the races.â
âSuch bold ideals?â Liu was shocked.
They had never had a good impression of the Saint Bandits.
But they didnât expect the other party to be this kind of person.
âEverything eventually returns to the source, but their path differs from ours. Admiration is in its place, but our interests are incompatible,â Xing said and looked at Gui.. âSo what happened to the Saint Bandits in the end? Wasnât it said that no one could stop them?â
