On the fifth floor of the Lawless Tower, Jiang Hao knew all the people inside. He was quite familiar with the place.
Occasionally, there would be some new people he did not know. But most of these people had communicated in one way or another with him.
However, some people had never talked with him. They usually left after a while.
Not everyone needed his… expertise. It wasn’t like Lawless Tower was useless.
The people of the Lawless Tower were very efficient. No one was as busy as them in the sect, except for the Law Enforcement Hall.
They were either arresting or interrogating people or on the way to do just that.
When he entered, he heard someone talk. It was King Hai Luo.
“I am a Heavenly King, so I can do whatever I want. What can you do to me? No one could control me overseas. It’s the same here.”
Jiang Hao felt that King Hai Luo was very tough indeed until he met Miao Anxian. He seemed to soften up whenever he thought about her.
If it concerned her, Hai Luo would compromise.
‘How good is that woman?’ Jiang Hao couldn’t understand.
As a Heavenly King, he was already half a step into the realm of immortals. Why was he swayed by love so much?
In his realm, he might have reached a very firm state of mind. Why did he care about one person so much?
Besides, Miao Anxian had betrayed him once before.
‘I still don’t understand… Perhaps I will never understand…’
Jiang Hao sighed.
He did not understand, nor did he want to understand.
When he walked in, he saw Heavenly King Mu Longyu standing in front of King Hai Luo’s cell. He was trying to talk some sense into him.
Nangong Yue in the third cell had disappeared. She was replaced by Mi Lingyue.
The fourth cell had a white-haired woman. She looked quiet and dest.i.tute, as though there was no hope left in her life.
The fifth cell had a middle-aged man who glared at everyone around.
The sixth cell…
Jiang Hao looked at him in surprise. It was the blindfolded man carrying a lantern.
He sat in his cell and appeared oblivious to his surroundings.
He might have been blindfolded before, but he seemed to be really blind.
It was hard to sense anything inside the Lawless Tower.
Jiang Hao sighed again.
So far, the Law Enforcement Hall had not responded to the matter of his achievements.
He wondered if he would be taken off the suspect list.
Nangong Yue was missing.
He often saw the same four people whenever he visited the fifth floor. He was surprised by her absence.
After greeting Heavenly King Mu Longyu politely, he asked about Nangong Yue.
“She traded some secret with the people of the Lawless Tower to get out,” said Mi Lingyue.
‘A secret?’ Jiang Hao was surprised.
The Saint Bandits were becoming more active lately. It was natural for her to want to get out.
As for the secret that she had traded, Jiang Hao was unsure of it.
He wasn’t worried about her leaving. But he hoped they wouldn’t be enemies if they met in the future.
Zhuang Yuzhen, Heavenly King Hai Luo, Nangong Yue, and Mi Lingyue didn’t feel any hostility toward him.
There was no hatred or resentment in their eyes.
Then, he turned his gaze to the other three.
All three of them were from the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect.
He looked at the books. The first one was called Bing Qing from the Ice Spirit Clan. She was cold-blooded.
The second one was called Man Gu. He was one of the top three thousand members of the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect. He was arrogant and fearless.
The third lantern-carrying man was the most mysterious of them all.
He might not be the strongest, but he was the most difficult to deal with. Ordinary interrogation was useless to him. He didn’t care about his cultivation or his life.
Jiang Hao flipped through the pages and then closed the book.
“Fellow disciple, are you here for them?” Mu Longyu walked to Jiang Hao’s side.
Jiang Hao nodded. “I’m sorry if I have interrupted anything,” he said apologetically.
If he hadn’t come in, Mu Longyu would still be talking with Hai Luo.
After he appeared, Hai Luo simply shut up.
Jiang Hao’s arrival made Zhuang Yuzhen and the others look forward to what he would do with the three new people.
“Junior Brother Jiang?” The lantern-carrying disciple got up.
The others looked over in surprise.
He hadn’t said a word since he arrived until he saw Jiang Hao.
Moreover, he greeted Jiang Hao first.
Mi Lingyue and the others looked at Jiang Hao. They didn’t know what was going on.
After all, the lantern-carrying disciple’s strength was not very high, but his appearance attracted the attention of people overseas.
This was especially true for people from the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect.
Many people wanted to know what had happened to the lantern bearer.
“We meet again, Senior,” Jiang Hao said politely.
If the lantern bearer was willing to call him a junior, he had no trouble addressing him as a senior.
The people from the Lawless Tower wouldn’t care, and the sect didn’t care either.
The lantern bearer knowing Jiang Hao’s name wasn’t a great mystery either. The Law Enforcement Hall might have mentioned it when they questioned him.
“This place isn’t ordinary. It’s a little unexpected you could enter this place, Junior Brother. It’s too dark, so I couldn’t see you properly. I hope you don’t mind.”
“Senior, you must be joking. It’s my fault. I should have greeted you immediately,” said Jiang Hao.
“Junior Brother, are you here to interrogate me?”
“I have been a.s.signed with that task,” he said.
“You? A cultivator at the Golden Core Realm?” Man Gu laughed. “You’re nothing! Even lapdogs are more valuable than you. Just kill us, useless Golden Core! How dare your sect imprison us like this?”
Man Gu turned to look at Mi Lingyue. “And you! So, you were hiding here… I wondered why Heavenly King Mu Longyu was here. So, you two have planned this together!”
Mu Longyu turned to look at Man Gu.
Man Gu glared back. “What’s wrong? Want to silence me? Have the Heavenly Note Sect do your dirty work like a coward, then!”
“Heavenly King Hai Luo, he dares to be more arrogant than you,” said Mi Lingyue.
“Bah! What realm is he? Can he even compare to me?” King Hai Luo turned to Man Gu. “You’re just a middle-stage Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator!”
“That’s right! Heavenly King Hai Luo is at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm. He is the king of the fifth floor,” said Mi Lingyue.
“You’re just playing his p.a.w.n,” said Zhuang Yuzhen.
“You both are trash!” Hai Luo laughed.
Mu Longyu was puzzled.
Mi Lingyue smiled. “Don’t worry… just watch.”
“I have never seen anyone as arrogant as Hai Luo on the fifth floor. No one is better than King Hai Luo!”
Mu Longyu didn’t really understand what they were trying to do. He knew that Jiang Hao’s status on the fifth floor was very high.
It was even higher than the others in the Lawless Tower.
The people here, whether guards or captives, respected Jiang Hao the most.
No one dared to act recklessly against him.
