Chapter 1090: Paving The Way For The Twelve Heavenly Kings (1)

“Devil’s Den?”
Hong Yuye sat in the pavilion. There was a cup of tea on the table, but it had already gone cold.
Hong Yuye touched her teacup. “Do you think we should investigate it?”
Baizhi thought for a moment and said, “If it’s Feng Hua, then we have to know the purpose of the visit. But we don’t have the manpower to deal with her right now. If it’s the person behind Jiang Hao, we might not be able to find any traces of him by the time we reach there. We haven’t been able to find any clue for all these years on them. That alone proves how extraordinary their ways of concealment might be.”
Hong Yuye looked at Baizhi and did not say anything.
“Other than that, there’s news about the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron. I heard that it was taken away by someone,” said Baizhi cautiously. “It is said that someone from the Mountain Sea Sword Sect has made a move and lured out the experts who are in seclusion. In the end, the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron flew out of the Mountain Sea Sword Sect and disappeared.”
The news came as a surprise.
Usually, they would have been unable to hear such news.
The people of the Divine Corpse Sect were on their way here, so they brought the news with them.
It was almost time for the Corpse Realm Flower to bloom again.
“Where’s the Desolate Sea Pearl?” Hong Yuye asked.
“I’m still looking for clues on that,” said Baizhi.
“Leave a portion to continue maintaining the sect. The rest will search for the Desolate Sea Pearl.” Hong Yuye said.
So far, she knew roughly where the Desolate Sea Pearl might be, but she did not know for sure.
She was not even sure if it was in its previous location.
Baizhi heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the danger had pa.s.sed.
“The people from the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect seem to be heading our way. There was an expert who came earlier. Although he was deterred, he seems suspicious.”
Hong Yuye listened but did not speak.
When the report was almost done, Baizhi said, “Jiang Hao has been acting strange lately. He used to be keen on staying in the Spirit Herb Garden, but now, he’s increasingly going into seclusion. I think it has something to do with the person behind him. In addition, there’s another person at the Cliff of Broken Hearts. She’s been asking around about Jiang Hao. I wonder if she plans something. After a simple investigation, it has come to our attention that she defected from the Sunset Immortal Sect. But the magic treasure and the surrounding aura suggest that she used to be from the Heavenly Gate Sect. I couldn’t find the time to investigate in depth. Do you want me to find out more?”
“Try to find out if she is a spy,” said Hong Yuye.
Baizhi nodded.
Everyone had secrets.
No matter what secrets they had, it did not matter as long as they were not trying to betray the sect.
However, this person was trying to get close to Jiang Hao, so they had to be prepared.
Although the Sect Master did not say it specifically, Jiang Hao was quite extraordinary. It would not end well if he was influenced by another person.
From what she knew, even if someone like Jiang Hao really needed a cultivation partner, he could find someone from the Heavenly Note Sect.
When Jiang Hao entered the Devil’s Den, he used a secret technique to enter the Blood Pool.
This time, he could see much more clearly than before.
He felt like he could even control the blood-red mist.
The fog in front of him thinned.
‘Is this a blessing in disguise?’
Jiang Hao laughed.
It was probably because of the Karma Vortex.
He was closer to the power of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl in this place.
He could control the Blood Pool slightly even without taking out the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.
It was not very effective, but it was still better than nothing.
It was of some comfort to him.
He did not stay for long and quickly stepped into the Blood Pool. When he entered, he felt that it was a little different.
The blood seemed to be much more vibrant than before. There was more vitality in the pool.
It did not look good.
He did not know if it was related to Gu Jin. But he was weary anyway since he knew what Gu Jin had done to Old Man Corpse Sea.
He was much more vigilant than before. He sensed evil everywhere.
He had never seen something like this before.
Or perhaps…
The evil aura had always been present.
However, nothing like that had shown up on his appraisal before.
But if Gu Jin had been overly cautious, it was just natural that he would have found less information on the first appraisal.
Soon, a figure appreared in sight.
He stood there like a stone giant. There was no aura around him.
When he went over, the figure slowly regained its lifeforce.
The figure seemed to have finally broken free of the silence.
“We meet again.” Gu Jin turned to look at Jiang Hao.
However, he frowned. “The Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron? You’re quite bold… running around with the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron on your brow!”
Jiang Hao was shocked.
As expected, it was discovered.
He indeed had the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron. He thought people might notice it because the luck poured out from the cauldron profusely.
However, with the nameless manual, he could minimize detection.
No one in the Lawless Tower was able to notice it.
Even Elder Baizhi might not be able to detect it.
However, it was difficult to hide it from Gu Jin.
He had come here with this plan in mind. He had wanted to see if Gu Jin would detect it first.
If he could, then Wan Xiu, Si Cheng, Kendo, and the person who had given him the ident.i.ty token of the Astronomical Academy would probably be able to see it too.
That was not good.
Although the four regions were huge and very few people could discover his anomaly, there was always someone who could.
He had only gone out a few times and met some powerful people.
He would definitely meet them again in the future.
“What did you do that required the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron to save you?”
