Chapter 563: Seizing the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Senior Brother, did you find out anything? Jiang Hao asked on the way.

Under the attention of the Blackheaven Sect, we conducted a simple investigation. Its not easy to find out the true culprits behind Murong Jing and Anlus deaths, Liu Xingchen said with a smile. But we can be sure that it was the work of two people. Such concealment indicates its the work of someone from overseas and the Saint Bandits.

Did the Blackheaven Sect accept this? Jiang Hao asked curiously.

How could it be that easy? After all, the Blackheaven Sect is not familiar with those overseas, Liu Xingchen said helplessly. They are not that far from overseas. If they really wanted to take action, they could. The sect has considered many scenarios. In the end, they proposed compensation and punishment for those who took further action. That includes Jiang Hao realized that Liu Xingchen was looking at him.

He knew it was about him and Senior Brother Bai Yi.

That wasnt surprising.

What did the sect decide about the punishment? he asked.

At the Blackheaven Sects request, they will inspect your residences to see if there are any relevant items. If those two peoples belongings are found in your place, you will be implicated. If not, then youre in the clear, Liu Xingchen said.

Jiang Hao remained calm.

Since the incident before about the murder of the True Disciple, he would never make the same mistake twice.

At his courtyard in the Cliff of Broken Hearts, the four of them entered through the gate.

The rich spiritual energy made the Law Enforcement Hall disciples pause for a moment.

This was a Golden Core Realm cultivators residence?

The concentration of spiritual energy here was many times stronger than where they were stationed.

For a moment, they understood why the Task Hall was so interested in this junior.

There must be quite a few spirit stones spent here.

Did making talismans bring in so much? They were a little tempted to switch their jobs.

But it was just a pa.s.sing thought.

Because making talismans also required talent, and if one didnt have enough talent, it would be a waste of time.

Clearly, this junior had a talent for making talismans.

They started the search.

They only used their magical treasures for detection and didnt rummage through everything.

Liu Xingchen looked around. Junior Brother, this place is quite extraordinary.

It was actually unexpected, Jiang Hao said. When I came back from outside, the spiritual energy suddenly became so rich. I still dont know why. Initially, the spiritual energy here was indeed a bit dense, but still within the expected range.

The sudden richness in spiritual energy was suspicious, especially since he guessed that it was Bai Yes work.

Fortunately, the upgraded formation could prevent many people from probing further.

Liu Xingchen didnt ask further questions and wasnt interested in the things in the courtyard.

Sometimes, Junior Brother Jiang, you should take a good look at yourself, he said with a smile. Murong Jing clashed with you during the day, and at night, he was killed. Did you provoke someone else?

Liu Xingchens smile was filled with hidden meaning.

Jiang Hao knew that Liu Xingchen was just curious and wanted to watch the drama.

I havent offended anyone lately. Jiang Hao shook his head.

Based on his speculation, the one who did it might be Hai Ming. But how could he say that aloud without evidence?

He could only pretend not to know.

Do you know how the sect will punish Senior Brother Bai Yi? Liu Xingchen changed the topic.

Confinement? Jiang Hao asked.

Something like that. He will be confined for six months, and three months worth of resources will be deducted from him, said Liu Xingchen.

Then, he looked at Jiang Hao. Junior Brother Jiang, you have to be careful. Even if no evidence is found, you would still have to pay 1,500 spirit stones as compensation and five years worth of resources will be deducted from you. I think you are used to that by now.

Jiang Hao was momentarily speechless.

This punishment looked more severe than the one he got for Yun Ruos death. However, when he thought about it properly, it was actually quite lenient.

He had seriously injured seven people this time and caused the death of one. Moreover, he was already at the Golden Core Realm, so 1,500 spirit stones werent that much.

Even though the punishment isnt severe, the Blackheaven Sect acknowledges it. However, they are also doing it for smooth communication between the two sects. But apart from those senior experts, there will always be people below wholl not let it go. Junior Brother, be careful during this period. Dont rule out the possibility that they might take action against you, Liu Xingchen said.

The people from the Blackheaven Sect were different from those in the Heavenly Note Sect.

Heavenly Note Sect wouldnt dare to kill fellow disciples in the sect.

But the Blackheaven Sect didnt care, and the Heavenly Note Sects rules couldnt control them.

Once they killed someone and fled back to the Blackheaven Sect, the Heavenly Note Sect wouldnt be able to do anything.

If the Blackheaven Sect insisted that the culprit wasnt in their sect, what could the Heavenly Note Sect do?

They couldnt possibly launch an attack on a major sect.

The two disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall came out of Jiang Haos house shaking their heads.

Liu Xingchen stood up. Since thats the case, Junior Brother, remember to submit 1,500 spirit stones soon as compensation. Starting today, the sects resources will be deducted. Do you have any objections?

No. Jiang Hao shook his head.

When Liu Xingchen was about to leave, he kindly added, If Junior Brother were a True Disciple, perhaps it wouldnt be like this.

Jiang Hao nodded and thanked him.

Recently, Liu Xingchen was always implying that Jiang Hao should become a True Disciple. Perhaps that would make things more interesting for him. Of course, Jiang Hao wouldnt do that because it would be dangerous.

Another five years worth of resources lost. Jiang Hao sighed.

But the matter was settled. He just needed to be careful about the Blackheaven Sects retaliation in the future.

This was indeed troublesome.

However, he also noticed that quite a few strong individuals from the Blackheaven Sect had arrived. At this moment, the Blackheaven Sect was immensely vigilant.

Perhaps I can plan to seize the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan.

Suddenly, Jiang Hao had an idea.

Once he obtained the fan, he could not only pose as the true Smiling San Sheng but also communicate with Feng Hua with that ident.i.ty.

He could also try to approach The End of All Things.

But theres no news about the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan. Moreover, even if there are fewer experts from the Blackheaven Sect, it would still be difficult to escape once discovered.

Although he had the golden rings, it still required a bit of time to take effect.

I can inquire about the situation.

If successful, many things would be easier to handle afterward.

With Smiling San Shengs ident.i.ty, he could try to interact with Feng Hua and also with The End of All Things. It would be much easier.

Furthermore, Hong Yuye seemed to be interested in the Dragon Pearl. In case they needed to go overseas, having the ident.i.ty of Smiling San Sheng would be much more convenient.

Of course, everything needed to be done within ones limits. If it was too dangerous, he would just give up.

He could continue to stay in the Heavenly Note Sect. As time pa.s.sed, his cultivation realm would also improve.

That was the safest bet.

The only trouble was that he couldnt stop Hong Yuye from doing what she wanted.

At the Hundred Flowers Lake, Hong Yuye was in the pavilion. She wore a red dress and her hair fluttered in the wind.

Hai Ming has set his sights on Jiang Hao? Hong Yuye asked curiously.

Yes, Baizhi said respectfully. After my investigation, I have found out that it is probably related to the fish person. People suspect that Jiang Hao might have been the one who let the fish person out of the sect. Hai Ming believes that the fish person will definitely try to repay the favor, so he is keeping an eye on

Jiang Hao.

I have reason to believe that Hai Ming killed Murong Jing from the Blackheaven Sect. During these days, he has roughly investigated Jiang Haos techniques and arts. In terms of swordsmans.h.i.+p, there are two styles: Demonic Sound Slash and Moon-Slaying. Hai Ming couldnt imitate Moon-Slaying, but he did emulate the Demonic Sound Slash to kill the Blackheaven Sects disciples. As for Moon- Slaying, I think the mastermind behind Jiang Hao taught him the technique. There might be more techniques we dont know about..
