Chapter 727: Quite a Grand Display

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

For a moment, Mi Lingyue felt tongue-tied.

Jiang Hao seemed to know so many people.

Logically, a Golden Core Realm cultivator shouldn’t be acquainted with so many powerful individuals.

Now, there were two Heavenly Kings who recognized him, and they didn’t dare to underestimate him.

Even the extraordinary genius from the Clear Sky School knew him. With just that, he had already surpa.s.sed countless other Golden Core Realm cultivators.

Moreover, the fact that he could navigate the fifth floor so easily indicated his uniqueness.

He must have a formidable figure behind him. There must be someone behind him who must have pa.s.sed him the information that she and Mu Longyu had a child together.

Heavenly King Hai Luo, Zhuang Yuzhen, and the others in the Lawless Tower couldn’t escape his control.

“Do you also know him?” Shang An asked her.

“Yes, we do.” Milingyue nodded. “We’ve had a few encounters with him in the past.”

Shang An nodded. “Who are you here to see?”

“An old friend. One of the Heavenly Kings,” said Mu Longyu.

He didn’t hide it. Being forthright and honest was the best approach.

Shang An nodded. He seldom left the sect and had very limited knowledge of the outside world. Most of what he knew was about the northern regions, where he had grown up.

In the past few years, he had traveled more than he had in the previous two hundred years.

Soon, they arrived at the large formation.

A middle-aged man landed in front of the formation. “Greetings to the three esteemed guests. May I ask why you’ve come here?”

The auras emanating from the three of them were far beyond what he could face. So, he had to show proper respect.

“I am Shang An of the Clear Sky School. I wish to meet someone here,” Shang An said courteously.

Mu Longyu remained silent and waited.

Upon hearing this, the man guarding the formation was taken aback. “Please… please wait here,” the middle-aged man said hastily and hurried away.

After a short wait, an elderly man followed him. When he saw Shang An and Mu Longyu, he broke into a cold sweat and immediately ordered someone to notify the Branch Master.

“Esteemed guests, please follow me. The Branch Leader is on his way. In the meantime, is there anything I can a.s.sist you with?” the old man said hastily.

He sensed immense pressure. Although he didn’t know who the masked person was, he knew they were anything but ordinary, especially when Mu Longyu stood beside him. This meant that the masked person possessed incredible power.

“You don’t need to inform the Branch Leader. We only wish to meet someone,” Shang An said politely.

Jiang Hao, as usual, was watering the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. He watered all the other spirit herbs as well.

The spiritual energy had returned to its past glory, and perhaps even exceeded it. This was likely due to Bai Ye’s cultivation technique showing progress.

Recently, he had visited the valley outside the Hundred Bones Forest, and the other party’s cultivation hadn’t changed.

He was still at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. However, Jiang Hao had already advanced to the late stage of the Return to Void Realm.

Now, he didn’t need to keep such a close eye on him and could afford to check in once every year or two.

There were two individuals practicing the Blood Wish Path, and Jiang Hao had glanced at them a few times.

So far, they were still working on the introductory part of the technique. One of them was on the verge of crossing the threshold, while the other hadn’t yet begun, and Jiang Hao wasn’t sure when they would start. It was uncertain which of the two would advance further in the end.

So, he continued to observe them.

After watering the plants, Jiang Hao woke up the spirit beast and headed toward the Spirit Herb Garden.

While the members of the Mountain Sea Sword Sect had contacted him, it didn’t affect his daily life.

He could continue with his normal activities as if nothing had changed.

It had been a long time since their last gathering, which struck Jiang Hao as unusual.

However, when he listened to the conversation between Gui and the others, it seemed they weren’t worried about it.

After all, there had been periods lasting half a year or longer when they hadn’t gotten in touch with each other before.

Occasionally, they would chat there, but they didn’t discuss anything particularly important. They mainly talked about what they’d seen and heard.

Shaking his head, Jiang Hao stopped thinking about it.

“Master, look, there is a fish here. My friend said it’s good to eat fish in the afternoon,” said the spirit beast.

The spirit beast dove into the river and managed to catch the fish.

Jiang Hao thought it was about time to reward the beast. In the past, he used to have treats to keep it happy, but now, it doesn’t need so much. The spirit beast had to be rewarded properly, though.

However, as he approached the garden, he suddenly sensed a change in the atmosphere.

There were many more powerful individuals present, with members of the Law Enforcement Hall standing nearby. Even Liu Xingchen was there, but he didn’t come over to chat with Jiang Hao. He was just observing the situation.

“What’s going on?” Jiang Hao’s heart raced.

Everything seemed strange.

The spirit beast also sensed it. “Master, I feel that the spiritual energy around here is not giving me any respect, and these people are not showing me any respect either. Is it because you’re not working hard enough?” Jiang Hao paid no attention to the beast and walked inside.

Since the people didn’t stop him, it meant he could go in.

‘What kind of person would warrant such a grand display?’ Jiang Hao was puzzled.

He hadn’t received any information, which was unusual. It was unexpected.

The people from the Mountain Sea Sword Sect who came to see him didn’t act this dramatically.

Who could be so influential?

Jiang Hao approached cautiously. At that moment, Liu Xingchen walked over to him.

“Senior Brother,” Jiang Hao whispered, ‘What’s going on?”

“Junior Brother Jiang, you…” Liu Xingchen hesitated.

Jiang Hao could see from his reaction that this was somehow related to him.

“Have I done something wrong?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Not really, but someone asked to see you, and their aura is incredibly powerful, so we have to take it seriously.”

“Who is it?”

Jiang Hao was genuinely surprised. So many people had come. It was no longer just about cultivation realms.

The members of the Divine Corpse Sect and the Mountain Sea Sword Sect hadn’t received this kind of attention.

“That’s a question for you to answer, Junior Brother,” Liu Xingchen said.

After that, he stepped aside to let Jiang Hao enter.

The situation drew attention from everyone, which was something that Jiang Hao strongly resented.

However, he had to brace himself to go in. It didn’t feel right to turn back.

As he entered, Jiang Hao saw his Master in conversation with a black-robed man, who was explaining the details of the garden.

The Peak Master of the Law Enforcement Peak, Chengliu, was also present. What was most surprising was the man in the black robe. His presence emitted a kind of light that made people feel calm.

It was impressive.

Jiang Hao finally recognized him. It was Shang An!

At that moment, the man seemed to sense something and turned to look. He smiled warmly. “Friend Jiang, it’s been too long.”

In an instant, Jiang Hao felt like he was bathed in the radiance of a sage. It covered his entire being. It was a profound sensation as if the thoughts of an immortal were descending upon him.

Shang An was about to break through to the Immortal Ascension Platform..
