Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ning Shuang felt the pain and looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.

Are you are you not a good person? she asked.

The person in front of her was not a cruel person, or so she thought. Considering his actions in the Cliff of Broken Hearts, he had always been kind and people could easily manipulate him.

She thought that even if he returned alive, it would be easy to deal with him.

But she never expected that he would attack her as soon as they met.

Youve disappointed me, Jiang Hao said coldly.

Youre clearly not a good person, Ning Shuang said. Like Senior Brother Yu Dehong? Jiang Hao asked in response.

How do you know? Ning Shuang asked.

Jiang Hao didnt answer.

Did I do something wrong? Ning Shuang looked at Jiang Hao. This is a demonic sect, and I cant afford any trouble. Whats wrong with wanting to make myself safer? Did I do something wrong? No. Jiang Hao shook his head.

Then, why did you attack me? Ning Shuang asked.

Because Jiang Hao hadnt finished speaking when a light shot up into the sky with a distress signal. Jiang Hao looked up and saw his own name on it.

How dare you try to kill me? I prepared this in advance to prevent you from suppressing me, Ning Shuang said as she looked at Jiang Hao with a cold smile. You talk too much and are too slow in deciding things. You gave me time. Even if I die, you cant escape. Its the same outside or inside the sect. The Law Enforcement Hall didnt investigate you before because there was no information, and there was no need to search for it. Now that everyone has seen it, they have no choice but to investigate.

Do you want me to tell you why I attacked you? he asked.

When will this cycle of revenge end? We have no personal disagreement. Lets just forget about it. We can pretend not to know each other, Ning Shuang said softly.

Jiang Hao only asked, When do you think the sects people will arrive?

You should trust the Law Enforcement Halls efficiency, Ning Shuang said with confidence.

Jiang Hao nodded and waited quietly. Ning Shuang was puzzled but willing to wait. Even though she was bleeding, it wouldnt take long for her to recover.

Half an hour later, Jiang Hao looked at his junior sister. She had bled out too much. It seems you miscalculated, Junior Sister.

Ning Shuang was shocked. Jiang Hao didnt explain further. He approached her, swung his sword, and beheaded her.

After retrieving the storage treasure, he set her body on fire.

Once everything had burned to ashes, Jiang Hao put away the Heavenly Cauldron and disappeared into the woods at the edge of the cliff. He moved at an incredible speed.

In the end, he found nothing there. With a sigh, he disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was in his living room. It hadnt even been a day, but he had changed the golden ring again to ensure he had an escape tor today.

Now, he changed it again, just in case.

This time, there didnt seem to be any immediate tasks in the sect. He would wait for the conflicts outside to be resolved.

So far, the main task was to make sure the Spirit Herb Garden was okay. He needed to check the situation there.

If Cheng Chou could single-handedly handle the garden, that would be great.

If the Cliff Master called him to do something else, that wouldnt be good.

As the day gradually darkened, Jiang Hao wasnt sure about the current situation of the Blackheaven Sect.

Whether Xuanyuan Tai had become the Grand Earth Emperor and the Xuanyuan Sword had reappeared was still unknown. He could only wait for the gathering to begin and see what Gui would say.

The next day, Jiang Hao went to the Spirit Herb Garden. As soon as he entered, he sensed chaos. There were far fewer people than he had expected, and most of them were outer sect disciples.

Why is it so disorganized here? Jiang Hao asked one of the outer sect disciples.

Senior Brother Jiang Hao? Youre finally back. Senior Brother Cheng Chou is overwhelmed. Theres a spy in the Spirit Herb Garden who has damaged a lot of spirit herbs. In addition to the sects needs, were also facing losses. Were constantly being questioned. To avoid more trouble for the Spirit Herb Garden, Senior Brother Cheng Chou is personally apologizing to everyone, but we still dont know how to resolve the issue, especially since the other seniors from the sect are not here.

Jiang Hao was surprised. The seniors might have been sent to fight like him. The other Primordial Spirit Realm seniors were absent, so Cheng Chou was facing some difficulties.

It was understandable, as there were significant losses of spirit herbs, and it should have been the responsibility of the seniors to handle the issue. However, since the seniors were not present, Cheng Chou had to take on the burden.

Jiang Hao had returned, and the responsibility for resolving these issues now fell on him.

The personal loss could be compensated., but it would be awkward if the loss had embarra.s.sed others.

Moreover, it was also a bit of Cheng Chous fault for allowing such a serious breach to occur.

Even if Jiang Hao wasnt here, he would still be responsible for it.

Inside the Spirit Herb Garden, Jiang Hao could feel the tension and panic among both the ordinary people and outer sect disciples, who were exhausted.

After some thought, Jiang Hao approached one of the ordinary non-cultivators.

He patted the person softly on the shoulder.

The person was so scared that they didnt dare to move and immediately knelt on the ground.

Its me, Jiang Hao said calmly.

The person was a teenager. He must be around thirteen or fourteen years old. He froze as he turned to look at Jiang Hao. Then, he let out a sigh of relief.

Greeting, Immortal Elder, said the boy.

Go back and rest. Come back to work tomorrow, Jiang Hao said.

He not only sent this person away but almost a third of the others as well. He also told a dozen or so outer sect disciples that they didnt have to come here to work anymore.

They were already short-handed, so no one could understand Jiang Haos decision. But no one dared to question them.

Jiang Hao didnt explain himself to anyone. In fact, the reason was quite simple. There were three people among those he had sent away who seemed a bit strange, so he simply got rid of them.

The Spirit Herb Garden and those in it began to calm down.

Cheng Chou was even more excited and rushed to report to Jiang Hao about the situation.

The most damage was done to the Hundred Bones Forests spirit herbs. Many valuable spirit herbs were damaged.

The Hundred Bones Forest?

Yes. The herbs that Senior Sister Lian Qin brought here.

Lian Qin and Bai Ye? Jiang Hao sighed inwardly.

Just as he was about to ask, he felt the stone tablet vibrate. Was this a call for a gathering?

He needed to visit the Lawless Tower as soon as possible to check the situation there.

He still had most of the day ahead..
