Chapter 474: Silent Interrogation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although the influence of the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl was not as great as the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, its destructive power was certainly formidable.
If it were really near the Heavenly Note Sect, that would be a disaster.
However, since he had missed the opportunity to sense it properly, he couldnt figure out its approximate location.
Perhaps, he had made a mistake.
After sealing the item, Jiang Hao went to the courtyard.
Next time, if he could sense it again, he would try to confirm the location.
If it wasnt in the Heavenly Note Sect, he would try to get someone from the gathering to find it, preferably Xing.
If it was here, it would be a bit troublesome.
It would be best if it could be safely taken away. He was afraid it might suddenly erupt, and he might not even be able to escape.
Gui was right about one thing. It seems like many things are related to the Heavenly Note Sect.
For a while, Jiang Hao couldnt understand if the Heavenly Note Sect was special or just unfortunate to get embroiled in such things.
After waiting for a few days, there was no new change in the Earth Extreme Heart Devouring Pearl. He slept again but didnt see that giant star.
It seemed that someone needed to resonate with the Earth Extreme Silent pearl.
Ill need some more time to find it.
Jiang Hao stopped overthinking and headed to the Lawless Tower.
He wanted to have a chat with Hai Luo, as he might be leaving soon.
By then, there would only be Zhuang Yuzhen left.
In the eastern region, Bi Zhu sat cross-legged with her eyes tightly closed in a hidden house. She was surrounded by cross-legged straw men.
Both of them were within an array.
Dark energy manifested around her, and the dark energy invaded her palm. The dark energy in other areas dissipated.
Within a few breaths, Bi Zhus palm started to wither as if it had lost its vitality.
At the same time, the array on the ground changed.
The black energy from her palm was absorbed by the array and then transferred to the straw man.
In an instant, the straw man was covered by the black energy and burned rapidly.
At this moment, Bi Zhu opened her eyes and looked at her palm.
The withered palm was slowly recovering at a slow pace, and a new curse-like aura was born.
However, there was no actual curse.
In an instant, she sensed the aura and looked at her palm in disbelief.
How is this possible?
All the books she had read only talked about suppressing the curse. If transferring and trans.m.u.tation were possible, why had none of the books mentioned it?
Was it impossible to transfer the curse completely?
Soon, she began to calculate and transfer the curse but by bit. Everything went smoothly.
That night, she attempted to transfer everything.
However, midway, she found that she had failed.
She couldnt transfer everything. She could only do it bit by bit.
And that part was instantly devoured by the remaining part and returned to its original state. It rendered her efforts ineffective.
But Bi Zhu didnt give up.
This was something to be studied, but she couldnt just ask about it. The price she would have to pay for information like that would be significant.
With Jings strength, he wouldnt say something if it wasnt useful. Since he mentioned it, there is a possibility of success. Senior Dan Yuan didnt say much, which means this method is possible. Bi Zhu nodded to herself. That was enough.
The rest would be up to her.
But I have to go back.
At the Heavenly Note Sect, Jiang Hao sat in front of Hai Luo on the fifth floor of the Lawless Tower.
Do you think just staring at me without speaking will put pressure on me? Im a king! I have seen it all! Hai Luos voice grew softer as he spoke.
Eventually, he sat there quietly. He was nervous.
He was afraid that Jiang Hao would beckon him.
Zhuang Yuzhen was also curious. Today, Jiang Hao didnt say a word, and he felt like something was wrong.
It made everyone nervous.
They didnt know when it had started, but they had begun to see this Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator as powerful.
Actually, Jiang Hao was at a loss about how to broach the subject. Should he tell Hai Luo directly about Miao Anxian? Or should he tell him that someone might come to free him from here?
In the end, he sighed and decided to let it go.
He would let him find out on his own.
Jiang Hao stood up and left. This startled Hai Luo.
Wait, what are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it. Although Im not someone you can compare to Ill cooperate. Wait!
Jiang Hao glanced at him and remained silent. He then continued to walk away.
Ill cooperate. Just come back! Hai Luo was getting anxious.
However, Jiang Hao still didnt speak. It was unclear what exactly he wanted.
What did you do, you little sc.u.m? Zhuang Yuzhen asked out of curiosity.
You old b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Why do I need to explain myself to you? Hai Luo said arrogantly.
Then why are you so panicking? My legs are only shaking because its numb from sitting so long. The guard watching this felt astonished.
He had seen Jiang Hao enter and then leave without saying a word.
It seemed Jiang Hao had frightened the captives.
This level of interrogation was simply beyond his imagination.
Such talent was indeed much needed, but unfortunately, they couldnt get anyone like him.
Not long after, the senior went up to a higher floor.
He needed to speak with some people above.
As soon as he arrived, he saw a senior frowning. It seemed she hadnt had a good time with the interrogation.
This old guy from Azure Mountain is quite tough. Weve tried various methods, but nothing worked. Senior Sister Yinsha isnt here. Otherwise, she would have used some other way. The senior sighed.
Cant get anything out of him? asked the man who came up to her.
Not really. Weve asked, but theres no truth in what he says. He claims he didnt lie, and he has revealed everything. The senior shook her head.
What Elder Baizhi needed was not just this.
The man thought for a moment. When will he be sent to the fifth floor? It should be soon. Why?
A junior arrived at the Lawless Tower just a while ago. Although hes not one of us, he has helped us with some things. Previously, Senior Sister Yinsha was the one who would talk to him, so we dont know many details. I have been guarding the fifth floor, and just now, I saw Hai Luo saying that he will cooperate. But that junior just ignored him and left. Is that junior Jiang Hao? the senior asked.
The young man nodded.
Is he really that powerful? The Senior Sister found it hard to believe. But there was no other way. They had to report it to Elder Baizhi.
They decided to wait for a few more days.
In mid-February, Jiang Hao found that the attacks on the Heavenly Note Sect by various sects had completely ceased.
It had been a month, and there werent any other changes.
He went to the Spirit Herb Garden and gave some guidance to Cheng Chou on his cultivation issues.
After that, he started tending to the spirit herbs.
However, before he could finish, he received a message.
It was from Elder Baizhi.
She wants me to go to the Fifth Floor of the Lawless Tower? Jiang Hao was puzzled.
Is Hai Luo leaving so soon? He wondered.
It hadnt been long, and it shouldnt be this soon.
Maybe they set out the moment Liu mentioned it.
That seemed to be the only possibility.
After that, he continued tending to the Spirit Herb Garden. The message instructed him to go to the Lawless Tower at night. So, there was no need to rush.
After finis.h.i.+ng up here, he could go set up a stall at the market for a while too.
During these days, he had earned some spirit stones. Now, he had 15,500 spirit stones.
He had made nearly two thousand spirit stones.
That was quite a lot.
He had done it without any major clients. It was far beyond ordinary income..
