Chapter 847: Someone Cuts In Line  

Jiang Hao once again began to survey the surroundings, but just like before,

there was nothing to gain.

He also arrived at the location of the statue of a book.

He hadn’t checked there.

He had searched most places with statues, but there were many others that remained untouched.

He hadn’t heard of any other statues. So, with what he presently had, there wasn’t a need to be so desperate.

Apart from artifacts that could be wiped, ordinary opportunities were irrelevant to him.

Jiang Hao understood what this place was.

It was more suitable for fellow cultivators. Fortunately, it wouldn’t cause too much commotion.

They had already consumed the pastries offered for worship.

In the Marriage Book, there seemed to be some names. When he looked closer, he realized that they were really names but silhouettes of people, like the threads of destiny.

Out of curiosity, he decided to appraise it.

[Marriage Book: An artifact of karmic fortune. A treasure condensed by the generations of strong individuals in the Astronomical Academy. It can peer into fate and seek the people bound by fate. Offering pastries that symbolize eternal unity allows the artifact to explore the karma between two individuals.

If the connection is strong enough, it can be recorded in the Marriage Book. The more names recorded, the greater the power of the artifact. It is even capable of interfering with fate.]

Jiang Hao was quite shocked. This was indeed a magic Marriage Book.

He wondered what might have happened if he and Hong Yuye had offered pastries here.

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head. He didn’t want to know. It would probably lead to something bad. It was a risk he couldn’t afford to take.

He preferred peace.

Unlike others, what he lacked was time, not opportunities.

There was no need for unnecessary risks.

At that moment, he felt a curse approaching, likely from Granny Kufa again.

It didn’t take long for her to find him.

However, she probably didn’t realize that curses had no effect on him as long as he held the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.

After that, he returned to the inn.

He brought some pastries to Hong Yuye and made her some tea.

“You seem to attract unlucky things,” Hong Yuye said.

“I should be able to deal with it in the next few days,” Jiang Hao said.

He needed to handle Granny Kufa’s matter. Otherwise, it might lead to trouble with Hong Yuye.

However, encountering Bi Zhu and Mr. Tao in the ancient city surprised him, especially Mr. Tao. How did he end up here? The next day, they left the ancient city.

In an alley, Jing Dajiang and his two companions arrived at the monument left by the Great Master of the World Tower.

“There is no end to learning.” Jiang Da Jiang sighed with emotion. “Who left this? I sense something strange.”

“Let’s ask the owner of the noodle shop,” the man with the beard said. Without hesitation, the three quickly arrived at the noodle shop.

However, to their surprise, the shop was closed.

A note was pasted on the door.

“When the past and present converge…” Jiang Dajiang was surprised. “Is it really happening?

Jiang Hao took Hong Yuye to other places.

He needed to go to the city of cultivation, and the changes in the Sea Sky Forest had begun. He had to see what was happening there.

Once things were confirmed, the chaos would likely begin.

Then, he would go to the Jianxin Cliff to check the status of the ancient pages and thus be able to leave.

However, there was a possibility that the matter of the corpse would affect the ancient pages.

It depended on whether the corpse was resurrected first or waiting to be awakened.

If the corpse also sought the ancient pages, he needed to be one step ahead.

If he got them first and returned to the South, there would be no problem.

The location of the Jianxin Cliff was only known to Shang An.

So, he had the advantage.

However, Senior Dan Yuan’s people would surely go there too, and he wondered what their cultivation realms would be.

Three days later, in a towering new city, Jiang Hao planned to find a place to stay as soon as he entered.

Then, he would go to the place where they sold pills.

However, since Hong Yuye wanted to come with him too, he had no choice but to bring her along.

He still had a lot of pills to sell, so he planned to ask about the situation in the Sea Sky Forest when selling them.

He just wasn’t sure if the news had reached there.

He could sell them all but decided to sell only a portion of it.

Then, he would buy tea leaves and let Hong Yuye take a look.

He found that there was a queue here.

Why was this happening?

He asked the person in front of him.

“There’s a big sale of pills here. It’s said that people from the Heavenly Fragrant Pill Mountain urgently need spirit stones, so many people are here.”

Jiang Hao was surprised. Wouldn’t this disrupt the market?

What about other pill sellers?

After thinking for a moment, he decided to go to another place. The sale here would surely hurt his chances of earning a bit more.

When he asked around, he found out that the most well-informed place in the city was Heavenly Fragrance Pill Mountain.

He had no choice but to come back and patiently wait in line. In front of him was a man dressed in a black robe. He was surrounded by various auras.

Presumably, he was someone from the dark path.

Only the demonic sect had individuals who walked such dangerous paths.

Many in the demonic sect also practiced clear techniques. Only those unable to advance resorted to unconventional methods.

At that moment, someone else cut in line in front of the black-robed person.

“What are you doing?” the black-robed man asked.

“Waiting in line.” The one who had jumped in line was a woman.

“I was waiting in line. When did you get here? Why did you cut in front of me?” the black-robed man asked coldly.

“Cut in line? What are you talking about?” The woman sneered. “I was waiting in line on the side and noticed this area was empty. So, I shifted. How can that be considered cutting in line?”

The black-robed man stared at the woman for a long time. “Get lost.”

“Who do you think you are? Do you think people from the Divine Rotation Sect

are easy to harass?” The elegant woman glared at the black-robed man. “I said I was waiting here, didn’t I?” Clang!

A sword was unsheathed.

Then, it slashed toward the woman.

The one who attacked was the black-robed man. The woman also radiated a glow.

It was a defensive artifact.

The two forces collided. In an instant, the defensive artifact shattered.

The sword pointed at her.

She looked terrified.

The sword light flashed and slashed at her throat.

The black-robed man picked up the storage treasure, burned the body, and continued waiting in line.

Jiang Hao felt shocked.

Could such intense conflicts occur in the city?

In the cultivation world, staying safe was impossible if one wasn’t strong or didn’t try to keep a low profile.

It was best not to provoke others.

One never knew how strong the other person was and whether one would end up dead.

After that, people nearby whispered to each other.

“This guy is done for! He killed the wife of that lunatic. Someone will come looking for him soon.”

“We should leave now. There’s still time.”

The whispers weren’t quiet, and Jiang Hao was sure the black-robed man could hear them, but he remained indifferent.

The man seemed confident.

Jiang Hao didn’t pay much attention. He waited quietly.

After a long time, it was finally his turn.

He looked at Hong Yuye, and he didn’t look impatient.

“Let’s go. We’ve waited long enough,” Hong Yuye said calmly..
