Chapter 971: The Demoness Was Staring At Him

Overseas, in the backyard of the Shangguan Clan, the waves surged and crashed against the mountain.

At that moment, a figure walked out from inside.

“Looks like this place is well protected.”

Jiang Hao looked around and saw that there was an array covering the area, and many people were patrolling it.

He was quite surprised.

They were feeling better. There was a new power growing in their bodies.

“What has happened?”

It wasn’t like that when he was helping Shangguan Qingsu.

At that moment, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then a red and white figure appeared beside him.

It was Hong Yuye.

Jiang Hao bowed. “Greetings, Senior.”

Hong Yuye also saw the people below and frowned.

Jiang Hao felt that she was also surprised at their rebirth.

“This place is ominous,” Hong Yuye said coldly.

That made sense. This place had been cursed for numerous years. It was indeed unlucky.

The people were born with a curse that they couldn’t escape. Bad luck was inevitable here.

Jiang Hao didn’t stay any longer and left with Hong Yuye.

He had reached a very high realm. He was even more impressive under the sunlight.

His state of mind was clear. Nothing could affect him.

It was extraordinary.

When he reappeared, he was on the surface of the sea.

He had to find a place to ask around about the Dragon Cave.

It should not be that difficult.

However, out of curiosity, he asked about the Shangguan Clan.

“New power?” Hong Yuye looked at him. “It’s not something new. That is the power of the Longevity Clan that remained suppressed because of the curse. You helped get rid of their curse, so their power is recovering.”

“Will they be very powerful in the future?” Jiang Hao asked.

“If the curse doesn’t linger, I think so,” Hong Yuye said calmly.

“The stronger they get, the less willing they’ll be to remain restrained. They should even be able to escape control in the future,” Jiang Hao said seriously. He had wanted to use the Shangguan Clan to help complete Hong Yuye’s task. He needed to find another reason to keep them bound. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to Hong Yuye why he needed them.

Hong Yuye looked at the person in front of her and chuckled.

After flying for some distance, Jiang Hao found that there were no islands around. It was surprising.

It seemed that he might not find anyone to ask about the cave.

He took out a bell.

Tang Ya had given it to him.

He shook it.

The crisp sound spread.

After a while, a woman flew over on her sword.

She was in her early thirties and was dressed in luxurious clothes. Her hair was fitted into a bun. She was in the middle stage of the Soul Ascension Realm.

When she saw Jiang Hao, she greeted him respectfully. “Fellow Disciple, are you looking for the Heavenly Tower? I’m Ji Yuelan, the wanderer of the Heavenly Tower.”

Jiang Hao smiled. “We want to know where the Dragon Cave is.”

“Dragon Cave?” said Ji Yuelan. “What do you plan to use in exchange for that information? Also, it would be great if you could drop your name.”

The folding fan opened, and the words “Smiling San Sheng” flashed on it. “Do you still want me to announce my name?”

“Smiling San Sheng?” Ji Yuelan was a bit surprised. “Forgive me, Senior.”

To show her sincerity, Ji Yuelan told him the location of the cave and even gave him a map.

She also told him some other secrets. The secret was that the Dragon Cave was not all it seemed. It was a trap.

Jiang Hao paid her 5,000 spirit stones.

There were still 130,000 spirit stones left with him.

The spirit stones bought him a map of the overseas islands. He asked her about the powerful individuals that might be around the Dragon Cave.

The information she gave him was very detailed.

It was a pity the gathering didn’t depend on exchanging spirit stones. He would have been rich if that were the case.

“Senior, are you going to Colored Glass Island now? It will take a long time to get there. If you’re in a hurry, you can take a boat.” Ji Yuelan pointed in the distance. “There’s a small island there. A ship will arrive there soon. You’ll probably reach Colored Glass Island in two days.”

“When will the Dragon Cave open?” Jiang Hao asked.

“In at least half a month,” Ji Yuelan said.

Jiang Hao nodded.

Since that was the case, he would go to the ship first. That way, he could find out more.

After a while, they reached a small island.

Jiang Hao looked down.

In the blink of an eye, a huge wooden boat rose from the depths of the sea and stopped in front of the island.

“We’re here,” Ji Yuelan said seriously. “Senior, please follow me.” Jiang Hao was a little surprised that they were actually walking at the bottom of the sea.

The previous ship had not dived to the bottom of the sea. It was dangerous for a ship to be underwater.

He did not know which sect or organization the ship belonged to.

However, it was simple enough to board. No one was there to ask for spirit stones as fees.

They did have to buy a token to get off the ship, though.

It was indeed much more practical than that ship he had boarded which belonged to The End of All Things.

It cost him a total of six thousand spirit stones.

Jiang Hao felt that it was easy for these people to earn spirit stones in this way.

Three thousand…

He might not even be able to earn it in a month.

Jiang Hao sighed and walked to the deck. At that time, the ship had already entered the seabed.

The power of the formation was evident in the surroundings. He traveled quickly in the water as if he had entered an uninhabited land.

Jiang Hao sighed with emotion.

He had never seen the underwater world before.

It was not endless darkness. A faint blue light illuminated the surroundings.

“I heard that this path will pass by the land of Saint Bandits,” said a middle-aged man as he walked to Jiang Hao’s side with a smile. “I haven’t seen you here before, Fellow Disciple. Is this your first time in this area?”

“I think so.” Jiang Hao smiled and nodded. “We can really pass by the Saint Bandits?”

“Fellow Disciple, do you know about the figure that appeared at the bottom of the sea? It’s said to be related to a certain sect in the South,” said the middle-aged man.

“Yeah.” Jiang Hao nodded. “I’ve heard a thing or two about it. I also heard it was around here?”

“Yes, this is the place.” The middle-aged man nodded. “That’s why this place is called Saint Bandit’s Land. Perhaps this place connects the Saint Bandits and also the South.”

“Can this place be connected to the exact location of the Saint Bandits?” asked a voice from afar.

A woman walked over. “Although the Saint Bandits are in the sea, their location is not fixed. This place might not connect to the real location of the Saint Bandits.”

Jiang Hao looked at her in surprise.

It was Nangong Yue from the Lawless Tower.

She was a part of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe and a Saint Bandit.

He did not expect her to be here.

“Then, how do we get to where the Saint Bandits are?” asked the middle-aged man.

“There’s no way. The Saint Bandits are sealed off. No one can reach them. Of course, it’s not impossible to find them if you have a… certain ability,” said Nangong Yue.

Jiang Hao was stunned.

He stole a glance at Hong Yuye and realized that she was also looking at him.

Her eyes seemed to suggest something.

Jiang Hao was speechless.

Was the special ability the Heaven Lock Technique?
