In the eastern region, there was a realm where stars flowed in reverse.
Beneath the dazzling sky of the starry river drifted a vast continent. At the top of the continent, a figure sat cross-legged and resonated with the stars.
And below the figure was a vast continent with a barrier in the middle separating them.
The people below could only look up at the figure in the sky.
The land was filled with countless mountains, rivers, and streams. In one secluded place, a group of people had gathered.
They seemed to be attempting to break through the defenses of the mountain.
On the other side, in the forest, a man in white clothes looked at the stone tablet in silence.
He exuded a majestic aura as vast as the mountains and rivers.
At that moment, the stone tablet glowed brightly. Two large characters flashed: “Burning Immortal.”
The light was about to cover the entire stone tablet.
But no one knew what would happen when the light covered the entire stone tablet.
At that moment, a young man arrived. “Senior Brother Xu Bai, it’s broken! The formation is broken! It’s really the Yin -Yang Formation.,” he said excitedly. “I’ve never seen a Yin-Yang Formation like this. It’s amazing! I should have learned properly from my Master. I didn’t even know about things like this.” “It’s broken?” Xu Bai smiled.
“Yes, it’s broken. Now, the other seniors are exploring that place. They asked me to ask you if you want to go in,” the young man said.
Immediately, he arrived in front of the stone tablet. “Senior Brother, are you going to break the Burning Immortal Formation? I feel like the stone tablet is lighting up. Does that mean there has been some progress?”
“It should be.” Xu Bai nodded.
“Shall we go in again to understand the changes?” the young junior asked.
Xu Bai looked at the forest and remained silent.
The young junior took a step forward. He intended to try it anyway.
After all, he had gone in several times before.
But just as he was about to enter the formation, Xu Bai grabbed his shoulder to stop him.
He smiled gently. “Junior Brother, you’re too impulsive. Let’s wait a bit.”
“Wait?” The young junior was puzzled. “Wait for what?”
Xu Bai smiled without saying a word.
In the open sea, a ma.s.sive ship navigated through endless sea fog and headed toward an unknown direction.
“Such a thick fog!” Jiang Hao couldn’t help but exclaim.
He realized that this fog had the ability to affect his perception. It was similar to the fog in Sea Fog Cave. Perhaps both were connected.
It was mind-boggling to think about.
The Heavenly Note was far from overseas, so how could it be connected to the depths of the sea?
At that moment, someone walked past him. It seemed this person was going to make a move.
‘It has happened many times already…’
Jiang Hao stood with his hands behind his back. He felt a bit helpless.
A tree longs for calm, but the wind never ceases to make turbulence.
It had been three days since the last time he made a move.
In these three days, he didn’t know what rumors had been circulating in secret, but many people glanced at him.
The glances and stares intensified, especially when he came out on the deck with Hong Yuye. They looked like hungry predators who had found their prey. Unfortunately, even after waiting for a few days, the others didn’t make a move.
‘Someone will eventually lose patience, and the person secretly pushing for this won’t let the situation continue like this.’ Jiang Hao walked to Ran Hui.
‘Let’s see if anyone would come looking for trouble.’
When he came over, he noticed something behind Ran Hui and his wife.
There were green and white energies on it. It looked quite extraordinary. But it was sealed by a force.
‘How did this thing end up here?’
Jiang Hao was lost in thought when someone roared from inside. “Which thief stole my Azure Essence Cauldron?!”
A middle-aged man rushed out. His face turned red with anger.
Jiang Hao looked at the cauldron and understood what was happening.
He didn’t say anything but stood quietly to watch how things would develop.
“My Azure Essence Cauldron is not something that anyone can steal so easily. Who dares take it without my permission?” said the middle-aged man furiously. He was ready to strike.
A spell surged, and the cauldron broke through the seal.
Boom!
The Azure Essence Cauldron rushed out from behind Ran Hui.
This astonished the ordinary couple huddling in the corner. They were frightened.
“You two ordinary people dare to steal from me?” the middle-aged man roared angrily. He was ready to kill the two ordinary people.
However, a voice suddenly said from the crowd, “These two are just ordinary people. They clearly lack the ability to steal anything.”
The voice was elusive. No one could be sure who had spoken.
But the middle-aged man realized that these two ordinary people indeed lacked the ability to steal from a cultivator, let alone break the seal on his treasure.
“Then, who stole it?”
At that moment, another voice from the crowd said, ‘Who has been with them all this time? Just ask them.”
The implication was clear to everyone.
The middle-aged man turned to look at Jiang Hao standing nearby.
“Smiling San Sheng, why did you steal my treasure?” the middle-aged man asked.
“Shouldn’t you first ask if it was really me who stole it?” asked Jiang Hao.
“Did you steal it?”
“Yes. I stole it.”
“Why did you steal my treasure?” “Don’t you want to ask me how I stole it?”
“How did you steal it?”
“I stole it easily as you were too weak to prevent it from happening,” Jiang Hao said with a gentle smile.
“You…” The middle-aged man was infuriated. “How dare you insult me?!”
He triggered the blue and white energies and began to attack.
The man was only at the early stage of the Return to Void realm.
Jiang Hao raised his hand slightly, and the Moon-Slaying slash soared out of his wrist.
Boom!
The two engaged in a battle.
Their figures were a blur, and their powers manifested in the surroundings.
However, after some time, Jiang Hao stepped back. The middle-aged man had already been thrown out of the ship and had fallen into the deep sea.
He vanished without a trace.
This time, Jiang Hao didn’t look toward the direction of the deep sea. Instead, he turned his gaze toward the deck. He smiled. ‘I’ve found you.’
From the very beginning, he knew that someone was orchestrating everything from the shadows and using him as a tool.
How could he allow himself to be someone else’s tool willingly?
For Smiling San Sheng, that would be a thing of great shame.
Naturally, he had to find them and eradicate them. He would let their blood stain the deck.
At the edge of the deck at this moment, a woman and a young man exchanged a smile.
“Everything went smoothly. Smiling San Sheng is truly someone impulsive without brains.”
“Indeed. I can’t believe how careful I was, and yet we managed to easily trap him and make him our tool.”
“He is too young and self-righteous. He thinks he’s fearless just because he has some strength and is completely unaware that true powerhouses are using him from the shadows,” said the woman disdainfully. “He’s being used without knowing. He gets pleasure from acting like this and thinks he’s invincible.”
“Who’s finding pleasure and thinks they’re invincible?” said a gentle voice from behind the woman.
A white paper fan appeared near her neck.
The woman’s pupils contracted in fear.
The fan transformed into a dagger. It pierced through her neck.
A soft laughter rang in her ears like a gentle breeze. “Take a deep breath. It’ll be over in an instant..”
