Li Qi’s heart sank. He then lowered his head. “I am the guardian of Heavenly King Taomu’s Silent Island.”

“I will come to you in a few days. He won’t be suspicious of me, right?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.

“After three days, he won’t,” Li Qi said.

Jiang Hao laughed. “It seems that my brothers are spread across the world!”

Li Qi was speechless.

At that moment, Jiang Hao disappeared.

Li Qi frowned. That unsettling fluctuation in power disappeared too.

“What exactly did you use to trap me?”

He could never figure it out.

It was not that easy to trap him like this, but he instinctively knew that there was nowhere to escape when this person appeared.

He wanted to see what it was that trapped him, but it was difficult to detect.

He did not dare to act rashly, even if he wanted to test it.

A slight mistake and he might disappear for good.

…

In the East, under the Sky Abyss, Bai Yi raised his head and looked up at the sky.

There was a figure in the sky.

He did not leave and decided to stay there.

He had said he wanted to feel the aura above and wait for new changes.

Bai Yi did not know what this change entailed.

But he knew that he had to leave.

As a Soul Ascension Realm cultivator, his strength was limited, and he could not stay here any longer.

Apart from that, he had to bring the object back to the Heavenly Note Sect.

The object he had found was a divine item. He thought of keeping it for himself, but he could not.

It was not that he was being selfless, but Shang An had told him that this was an extremely important magical treasure and had to be used wisely.

Bai Yi understood that it did not belong to him, so he should do what he could to deliver it to someone else.

He only hoped that the people from his sect would not attack him for it.

Otherwise, he would have to hand it over to someone else. His cultivation realm was still not strong enough to fight an onslaught.

However, he did not believe that anyone would dare to kill him.

The Sect Master had prepared the Heavenly Essences Soul Modeling Mirror in advance. She had decreed that whoever interfered with this mission would be hunted and killed, regardless of who they were.

The people from the Heavenly Note Sect would be too terrified to attack him and s.n.a.t.c.h the divine item away. They could not escape even if they hid in an immortal sect.

“You’re here?” The Pavilion Master of Heavenly Joy Pavilion walked over to him.

“I didn’t disappoint the sect and completed my mission,” said Bai Yi as he held up the small box.

The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Joy Pavilion frowned slightly. He looked as though he was struggling.

After some hesitation, he placed his hand on the box.

Bai Yi was still holding the box.

He was powerless to resist someone like the Pavilion Master.

His next step depended on what this person might choose to do.

“Have you opened it?” asked the Pavilion Master of Heavenly Joy Pavilion in a low voice.

“It has been opened but not by me,” said Bai Yi. “The object is still inside.”

The Pavilion Master of Heavenly Joy Pavilion touched the rim of the box.

It was as though he could see through the closed box.

He could s.n.a.t.c.h the thing away if he wanted to. No one had the power to stop him anyway.

He was the only Branch Master who had come here to check.

The longer he hesitated, the more Bai Yi broke out in a cold sweat.

He wondered what this person would choose to do. His choice would indicate whether Bai Yi should start fleeing.

If he ran as fast as he could, he might escape alive.

At that moment, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Joy Pavilion withdrew his hand from the box. His face did not change. “Put it away. If anyone asks, tell them it’s with me.”

Bai Yi heaved a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, the Pavilion Master was not blinded by greed.

If it was anyone else from any other sect, they would have s.n.a.t.c.hed it away.

But the Heavenly Note Sect was different. As long as the Heavenly Note Demoness was alive, no one dared to go against the sect.

Everyone knew they could not escape her.

Even if some people thought the Sect master was badly injured or dead, they did not bet on it.

The Great Era War was about to arrive, and with it the possibility of becoming immortals.

There was no need to take unnecessary risks.

“Let’s go back,” said the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Joy Pavilion.

They returned as quickly as possible.

This was an order from the sect. Once they successfully returned with the item, the sect would pay any price.

Of course, news had to be sent back first.

In a few months, the Acting Sect Master would receive the news and would personally come to retrieve the item.

…

At the Bright Moon Sect, Qu Zhong and the others waited for several days, but no one from the Bright Moon Sect came to meet them.

They did not seem to have any intention of helping them.

But if they really did not want to help, why would they keep them here?

There was no need for that.

Why would they leave them hanging? Was it to trap them?

That was also impossible.

Did the immortal sect have a reason to trap them?

On this day, Qu Zhong and the others were still waiting when someone walked over to them.

The man was dressed in a white robe. He looked skinny, but his aura was indomitable.

“Senior.” Qu Zhong bowed respectfully.

The others also noticed the newcomer and bowed.

Xu Bai smiled and said apologetically, “I’m so sorry to have kept you waiting.”

“Fellow Disciple, you must be joking,” a middle-aged man said politely. “It’s fine.”

“I know why you are here.” Xu Bai looked at them. “We can’t spare too many people. I don’t know if the number of people we send with you will make any difference there at all. But don’t be discouraged. I’ve prepared something else.”

Xu Bai took a jade slip. “This records how to suppress the evil corpses. Only your sect can trigger it. It won’t matter how many people we send to help you. It’ll ultimately depend on you and your people.”

“Suppress the evil corpse?” Everyone was shocked.

They did not expect the other party to have such a spell technique.

But it made sense. This was an immortal sect, after all.

But why had he not sent it over before?

They thought that the person had not sent it over in the hands of someone else because they had not come to his door.

It was possible.

The middle-aged man took the jade slip and carefully examined it.

“There’s no time to lose. Let’s set off. You might have to split into two groups. One can head to the Divine Corpse Sect, and the other one will have to head back to the Heavenly Note Sect to deliver something there,” said Xu Bai with a smile.

“Deliver something?” The middle-aged man was puzzled.

“Yes. Something happened in the Heavenly Note Sect. They need help. Our Bright Moon Sect has not expressed our grat.i.tude properly, so we need to do more. That’s why I need your help,” said Xu Bai. “Who brought the envelope here?”

Everyone looked at Qu Zhong.

“It was me,” he said politely.

“Then, I’ll leave this with you. Please give it to the Sect master of the Heavenly Note Sect,” said Xu Bai and handed him a storage treasure.

Qu Zhong accepted it without hesitation.

He did not know what the storage treasure held.

Was this from the Bright Moon Sect or the mysterious person from earlier?

He did not know, but he had to agree to it first.

That night, they split into two groups and set off.

An Elder of the Divine Corpse Sect took Qu Zhong to the Heavenly Note Sect, while the others headed to the North.

On the way, Qu Zhong and the others were surrounded by fog. They lost their way.

A blurry figure appeared around Qu Zhong.

Before he could do anything, the figure said, “Don’t panic. I heard that you’re going to the Heavenly Note Sect?”

“Yes. Is something the matter, Senior?” Qu Zhong asked worriedly.

He had no idea what the person wanted.

The next moment, a box appeared in front of him. “Take this to the Heavenly Note Sect. You already know who it’s for.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure disappeared. When Qu Zhong put away the things, the fog dissipated.

Was this for that mysterious man?

He could not understand what that person was after.

Was she needed to deliver something like this? He felt more like a p.a.w.n.

However, he had some understanding of that person.

It was as if everything was under that mysterious man’s control.

…

After returning from Azure Mountain, Jiang Hao picked some peaches and disappeared.

He was heading overseas.

He entrusted the Spirit Herb Garden to Mu Yin for the moment.

There were so many things to do that he was constantly running around.

If this continued, he was worried that the Fallen Immortal Clan would find out about him.

He wondered if the Bright Moon Sect was still suppressing the Fallen Immortal Clan.

As for the threat of the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect, the Holy Master would stand up for him.

He was indeed a good person of integrity.

…

On the endless sea, Jiang Hao walked forward.

He had felt too restless lately. He wanted to calm himself before heading back.

After asking around, he found out that King Taomu’s Silent Island was quite far away.

But it was still alright. He wanted to go to the warehouse first.

Five days later, Mu Longyu, who had been arranging for Hai Luo to increase his cultivation, suddenly received news.

“Heavenly King, it has appeared again.”

“What has appeared?” Mu Longyu asked in surprise.

“That token. Someone saw him enter King Taomu’s warehouse.”

“Did you see who it was?” Mu Longyu asked immediately.

“It’s indeed that jade token, but they could not see the person clearly.”

“Let’s go take a look,” Mu Longyu said after a momentary hesitation.
