The patrol ended.
They had half an hour of free time.
Lin MO and Zhao Qingxue left. They were uncertain about what they were going to do.
After some thought, Jiang Hao went to the hut where the shifts were handed over.
A senior at the Soul Ascension Realm was there.
“Any questions, Junior Brother Jiang?” he asked.
“Senior Brother Weng, greetings.” Jiang Hao bowed.
“Are you changing your route? That’s alright, of course,” Senior Brother Weng said with a smile.
Jiang Hao shook his head. “Senior Brother Weng, may I ask something?” “Go ahead,” Senior Brother Weng said generously.
“Do you know if there are any seniors in our sect who carry lanterns during the
“Carrying a lantern during the day?” Senior Brother Weng frowned. “Have you met someone like that?”
“Yes. I met them during the patrol on the edge of the forest,” Jiang Hao said. Senior Brother Weng lowered his head in thought. “Anything else that stood out?”
“He was blindfolded,” Jiang Hao said.
Senior Brother Weng nodded and let Jiang Hao go. He advised him not to make a big deal out of this matter.
Jiang Hao nodded and left.
That was all he could do.
As for how the sect would handle it, that was their business.
He wouldn’t confront such a powerful enemy recklessly.
Senior Brother Weng seemed to know who the person was and would likely make some preparations.
After all, as someone from the Law Enforcement Hall, he would know more about such matters than anyone else.
As for the person’s visit, it was probably related to the Holy Master. There was a chance that he was here for Miao Tinglian and Mu Qi.
The sect had dealt with the Heavenly Saint Sect many times before. They knew about the Holy Master and the connection to Miao Tinglian and Mu Qi. Most probably, they would be used as bait.
Mu Qi could handle himself. The sect might just observe him.
The people of the Lawless Tower might already be in wait.
Back at the resting area, Jiang Hao found Lin MO and the others.
Lin MO smiled and said, “Senior Brother Jiang, tomorrow we plan to patrol on our own.”
Jiang Hao nodded.
The next day, the patrol started at noon.
Jiang Hao watched as Lin MO, Zhao Qingxue, and Lin Zhi left.
“Aren’t you bothered by it, Junior Brother Jiang?” Zheng Shijiu curiously asked.
“Bothered by what?” Jiang Hao went his own way.
Without the three young followers, he felt that the patrol proceeded much faster.
“Although Junior Brother Lin MO and Junior Sister Zhao Qingxue have great talents, they are only in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment
Realm. It’s unacceptable for them to act so recklessly on the sect missions,” Zheng Shijiu said.
“They have made up their minds. There’s no need to stop them,” Jiang Hao said. “It’s better to guide them than to stop them. Everyone is responsible for their own actions. Although they are in the Foundation Establishment Realm, they are not children anymore.”
Zheng Shijiu nodded. He felt that Jiang Hao was wise.
At that time, a man below sneaked into a room, stole a jade bracelet, and smiled smugly.
But the next moment, he fainted.
Jiang Hao took the jade bracelet.
He wiped the bracelet and wrapped it up in a rag.
He then placed it back in its spot.
He didn’t pay attention to the unconscious. When he woke up, he would leave as though nothing had happened.
Zheng Shijiu looked at Jiang Hao. “Do you know the owner of the bracelet,
Junior Brother Jiang?”
Jiang Hao shook his head. “I don’t.”
“Then…” Zheng Shijiu found it strange.
“Is it strange?” Jiang Hao looked at him and said with a smile, “It’s not necessarily a good or a bad thing to intervene sometimes. It just helps to keep my conscience clear.”
Zheng Shijiu couldn’t fully understand Jiang Hao. For a moment, he didn’t know whether Jiang Hao wanted to help people, or he was just doing it for the sake of it.
“But the owner of the bracelet won’t know about this. They won’t appreciate your help,” Zheng Shijiu said.
“It’s not necessary for people to know about it. Not everything has to be acknowledged,” Jiang Hao said calmly.
They reached the sky. They saw a dark-skinned girl running below.
She stumbled and fell, but she didn’t care.
When she returned to the small hut and saw the bracelet wrapped in a rag, she relaxed.
She clutched the bracelet tightly as if she was afraid it would be stolen.
Jiang Hao saw this but didn’t pay any attention to it.
Zheng Shijiu remembered the girl.
As a Golden Core cultivator, the smallest things could determine one’s future.
On the first day of going their separate ways, Lin MO and the others returned with some pills.
The same happened on the second day.
There were none on the third. Jiang Hao didn’t mind.
Around the middle of August, on the seventh day, Lin MO, Zhao Qingxue, and Lin Zhi walked toward the alchemy area of the Candlelight Pill Pavilion. They had received information that someone had broken the rules not far ahead.
They were secretly practicing alchemy in the alchemy area.
After a while, they arrived at the area.
There was a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator who was refining pills. As they approached, a pleasant fragrance wafted from the pill furnace. The pills were ready.
At that moment, the cultivator excitedly carried the pills and headed outside. However, Lin MO and the others blocked his path.
“Senior Brother, please wait a moment,” Lin MO said. “We heard that you used special means to enter the alchemy area.”
Everyone understood. As long as the pills were ready, no one would investigate the matter further.
It wasn’t a big deal to use other means to enter the area. Some people did it so that they could have the area to themselves.
“Junior Brother, you should just let things go sometimes. You come here too many times too. Let this slide, alright?” said the person.
“Isn’t this too much? Why are you blaming us when you are the one coming here secretly?” asked Lin Mo.
“We always have to return empty-handed. Every time you come here… you take something with you. When others are gaining a bit, you still want it for yourself. You should know when to stop, Junior Brother.”
“But this time, you didn’t come back empty-handed,” Lin MO said.
The senior at the Foundation Establishment Realm looked at Lin MO and smiled. “Junior Brother, why are you being so pushy? You’ve come here so many times. Just let it be this once.”
“Senior Brother, I’m just following the rules of the sect.” Lin MO looked at the senior in front of him. “I just want to ask if you used any special methods to enter the area.”
If he returned the pills, the matter would be resolved.
However, to Lin Mo’s surprise, the senior nodded with a smile. “Yes, I did. What would you have me do, Junior Brother?”
Lin MO frowned. “Senior Brother, do you know that entering without following the normal procedure will result in punishment?”
Some people chose the punishment rather than return the pills. People were often punished unless they were someone powerful or influential.
“I remember you,” said the late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. “You’ve been coming here these past few days. Aren’t you afraid of offending people with such frequent visits?”
“Offending people?” Lin MO said. “I’m a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall. If you violate the rules and I catch you, am I to blame for that?”
“Law Enforcement Hall? No wonder…” The senior’s smile turned unfriendly. “Have you ever considered that some people have to follow rules and compromise because they have no choice, while others do as they please?” “What do you mean?” Lin MO asked.
“Nothing… just that I admire you for being so bold to the point of arrogance even when you are only at the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Sometimes, acting in such a way might make people feel like they want to… kill you.”
Then, with a swift movement, a long spear shot out.
Lin MO was shocked by the impact. He activated his defensive treasure to block the attack.
But the opponent didn’t give him time to react. The gap in strength was too great.
Bang!
The spear effortlessly pierced through the defense treasure and stabbed Lin Mo.
He was pinned to the wall.
“Junior Brother, you really don’t know anything about timing, do you?” The late-stage Foundation establishment Realm cultivator sighed.. “Why did you have to do this now?”
