Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the fifth floor of the Lawless Tower, there was a commotion.

Hmph! You demon cultists! Do you think you can get information from me?

I have never bowed to the demonic sect in my entire life. Even if you kill me today, I wont talk.

If you want to torture me, bring it on. Whatever inhumane torture you have in mind, it will only strengthen my resolve. I would rather die than yield, and I will never bow to the darkness.

Yinsha stared at the middle-aged man with a white beard. Senior, why bother?

We havent forced you to go against your righteous beliefs. We just want to

Imow who provided you with information.

Ridiculous! You are a mere demonic sect. You think I will tell you about the information I received? Wouldnt that harm the one who gave me the information?

But they might not be a good person. They could also be a villain with blood on their hands. We just want their information, Yinsha said seriously.

Hmph! Are you trying to say youre good? Impossible! This is a demonic sect! The Heavenly Note Sect is wicked through and through, and everyone here should just die. I abhor evil, and I will never a.s.sist the wicked, the middle-aged man said. Im unmarried and have never taken a disciple under my wing. I have no one you can threaten me with. I dont have any weaknesses for you to exploit. My life has been one of honesty and integrity. Demons have no power over me.

Are you saying that your entire life has been without a blemish? Yinsha asked.

Yes, my whole life has been one of honesty and integrity without any stains. If it wasnt the case, would you be asking me this now? the middle-aged man asked.

Yinsha frowned. She then turned and left.

Once Yinsha left, the man looked at the other five people and clasped his hands in greeting. I am Zhang Yang from the Sunset Immortal Sect. I came to attack the Heavenly Note Sect, but it seems that you are all experts here.

Im Zhuang Yuzhen from the Divine Corpse Gd Sect. Heavenly King Hai Luo from the Heavenly River region.

Im Nangong Yue, a Saint Bandit. Im Master Wu Yang of the Heavenly Tower.

Im Yin Zichen of the Mountain Sea Sword Sect.

Zhang Yang was astonished. The backgrounds of each of these people were quite extraordinary. Even someone from the Mountain Sea Sword Sect had been imprisoned!

Is your life truly that immaculate? Nangong Yue asked.

Of course! Theres nothing that can threaten me. Ive long set aside matters of life and death. With the cruelty of the Heavenly Note Sect, how could I yield? Zhang Yang said.

Are you going to say something, Heavenly King Hai Luo? asked Yin Zichen.

Zhuang Yuzhen and Hai Luo hadnt spoken yet.

They were curious as well, but they remained silent.

There were many people pulled down from their mighty status here. It always made them sigh.

Jiang Hao returned to the courtyard and heard voices inside.

Beast, I dont see anyone picking the peaches. Is Senior Brother Jiang planning to leave them here for Senior Sister?

Dont worry. Take them. Even that Senior Sister will have to respect me.

Really?

I never lie. Im a beast of integrity.

Jiang Hao walked into the courtyard and saw Xiao Li holding peaches in her hands.

With a mouthful, she said, Senior Brother?!

She dropped the peach in her hand.

In her panic to catch it, the other peaches in her hand tumbled down too.

Xiao Li was at a loss. She stood there and looked at Jiang Hao.

Youre back? Jiang Hao asked as he picked up the peaches that had rolled toward his feet.

I I brought you a gift, Senior Brother. Xiao Li suddenly remembered the gift and took out a box of pastries.

I brought something for you too, Master, said the spirit beast.

The spirit beast took out some meat jerky. Its human jerky. Its incredibly delicious because the meat in it used to be a rich family.

Jiang Hao accepted the gifts gratefully.

Xiao Lis gift seemed quite ordinary. It wasnt poisoned this time.

That was unusual.

After taking a bite, he found it to be decent.

It would have been more interesting with a touch of poison, like Xiao Lis usual souvenirs.

After eating a piece, he gave the rest to Xiao Li.

Judging by how she stared at it, she seemed eager to try them.

Thank you, Senior Brother, Xiao Li said excitedly as she accepted the pastries. Jiang Hao then turned his attention to the jerky. Is this really human jerky?

Yes, from a rich family, the spirit beast said. When I appeared in front of those people, they cut a piece of themselves and handed it to me in respect. Can you speak in human language? Jiang Hao sighed.

On our way back, we encountered some bandits, said the spirit beast. It seemed they were trying to steal from a rich family. After I arrived, both the bandits and the family were quite polite to me. I just asked for a portion of the beef jerky they had. They said the beef jerky is from cows they reared themselves. Its quite delicious.

Jiang Hao took a bite. It was indeed delicious. He then handed the rest to Xiao

Li, who jumped in joy. Thank you, Senior Brother!

Jiang Hao sat down on a chair and asked them to clean up the fallen peaches first.

Did you encounter anything on your way? he asked.

Yes, I encountered thieves. They stole the gift I had prepared for you and disappeared. Later, Senior Sister bought me a replacement, Xiao Li said.

Jiang Hao was surprised and asked for more details.

After hearing the whole story, Jiang Hao requested to see the dragon pearl.

He noticed that some of its power had been depleted, and it didnt seem as vibrant as before.

Suddenly, he remembered Guis words.

Someone had provoked Xiao Li at that time, and she might not have been a match for them. The dragon pearl had protected its master, and it had instantly incinerated those two people. Xiao Li a.s.sumed they just ran away. Jiang Hao chose not to say anything but asked Xiao Li to keep the dragon pearl safe.

He also asked about Hong Yuye. He didnt want to know if Xiao Li had said something to offend her.

After that, he decided to prepare himself to reach his peak condition.

There were still many things he needed to get ready for.

However, before he could return to his preparations, someone sent a

communication talisman and asked him to come to the Lawless Tower.

He sighed. As expected, they are looking for me for something. I just dont know what it is this time.

With a sigh, Jiang Hao decided to go to the Lawless Tower in the middle of the night because he didnt have his appraisal ability yet.

Later, at nightfall, Jiang Hao left the courtyard and headed straight to the Lawless Tower.

This time, Yinsha had specifically come down from the higher floor to find him.

It seems we have to rely on you again, Junior Brother, she said.

Jiang Hao was right in thinking that it was something urgent.

Without Senior Sister Yinshas involvement, he wouldnt have been able to leave the dungeon.

It seemed that everyone at the Lawless Tower had been eager to have him released.

Although he wanted to help, he couldnt make any promises. Senior Sister, you know that my abilities are limited, so I can only do my best..
