‘Forty-three years old…’

In the courtyard, Jiang Hao sighed as he looked at his interface.

As time passed, he felt that he was no longer young.

He felt uneasy as his cultivation increased.

He was worried he could not control his power. He was also concerned that his mentality would change because of his new power.

Deviate from his original intentions.

The more he advanced, the greater the influence would be.

A crisis like the one related to Senior Sister Yun Ruo might happen more often.

Although the Sunset Immortal Sect had let it go, he would not worry about it too much even if they had not done so.

Senior Sister Yun Ruo’s cultivation realm had been at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

He had far surpassed that. It made him feel safe and fearless.

Strength had an advantage. But if he was not careful, he could become very careless.

He would begin feeling that people with higher cultivation realms were no big deal because, in a few years, he would be able to surpass them.

Thoughts like that would be the beginning of a disaster.

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

There was nothing big happening at the moment, so he could wait for the competition between the twelve branches.

This competition would attract a lot of attention.

It was going to be difficult, but if he managed to become a top disciple, the problems would take care of themselves.

His life would be much more peaceful.

The best outcome would be to be the ninth top disciple.

It would require him to advance steadily. That would depend on Junior Brother Han Ming.

He asked around to confirm if Han Ming had won the round for those at the late stage of the Golden Core Realm.

‘I haven’t been to the Lawless Tower for so long… The Great Thousand God Sect must be visiting. I should go and see the lantern bearer.’

He still had not appraised the lantern bearer.

There must be secrets about him. Knowing too much affected his life sometimes.

He decided to first go and see him before making up his mind.

If there was nothing, he would forget about it.

He also needed to ask Zhuang Yuzhen about the Ancient Sword Cliff.

At the Lawless Tower, Jiang Hao did not meet Senior Sister Yinsha.

She must be busy.

As he was about to enter, he suddenly felt something. It was as though something was watching him from the sky above.

He had felt something like this before. At that time, it had been the Fallen Immortal Clan.

“They found their way here.”

Jiang Hao was shocked.

The cultivation world was truly unimaginable.

All kinds of people existed here. He was not the only one who was special.

Without hesitation, he stepped into the Lawless Tower.

The moment he entered it, the prying gaze disappeared.

Jiang Hao could not help but sigh in relief. The Lawless Tower was truly remarkable.

It could even shield him from the prying gaze of the Fallen Immortal Clan.

He just did not know if it could shield him forever.

It seemed that he needed to make thorough preparations as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would get even more dangerous in the future.

It was especially risky because the other party could easily spy not only on him but also on the spirit beast, Xiao Li, and others.

The more they spied on them, the more dangerous it would become.

The ability of the Fallen Immortal Clan exceeded his expectations.

He could only hope that the Leaf of Concealment would shield him from their prying gaze.

On the fifth floor of the Lawless Tower, Jiang Hao did not hear any voices when he arrived.

Usually, King Hai Luo would be causing a commotion around this time.

Jiang Hao walked in.

As soon as he entered, he saw that heavenly King Hai Luo was bound and gagged. Mu Longyu sat in front of him.

‘What’s going on?’ Jiang Hao thought in surprise.

There was another person on the fifth floor today.

It was a woman. She was in a cell behind the lantern bearer. Part of her face was rotting away. She looked like a sleeping beast.

When he arrived, the woman raised her head and looked at him. Jiang Hao felt her piercing gaze.

It made him feel like danger was near.

‘What a powerful person!’ He thought.

Jiang Hao was shocked.

Although he did not know who she was, her mere glance was enough to make him realize that she was someone extraordinary.

When the others saw Jiang Hao, they were excited.

“Friend Jiang, it’s been long,” said Mu Longyu.

“It is nice to meet you too, King Mu Longyue,” said Jiang Hao and bowed.

‘How come he is here?’ Jiang Hao thought.

He recalled that the Twelve Heavenly Kings were preparing to advance to immortality, so they should be very busy.

However, it would not work without King Mu Longyu there with them, especially since King Hai Luo was locked here.

“Someone from the Lawless Tower did this. I think that person right at the back made them do it,” said Mu Longyu regarding Hai Luo’s present condition. He knew Jiang Hao was curious.

There were Zhuang Yuzhen, King Hai Luo, Mu Longyu, and the lantern bearer on the fifth floor. There was one new addition: the woman with the rotting face.

Jiang Hao also looked at her. He was surprised she had managed to get someone to shut Hai Luo up.

Luckily, he was not here to talk with King Hai Luo. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome.

“Junior Brother, I heard you can bring things up here?” asked a calm voice.

It was the woman with the rotting face.

Jiang Hao nodded. “Yes.”

“I want something delicious to eat. Go and bring them for me,” she said.

It was as if she was instructing someone working under her. There was no room for negotiation.

“Senior, as a junior, I’m not obligated or instructed to bring things for captives here,” said Jiang Hao politely.

“Is that so?” The woman with the rotting face sneered. “Isn’t it the case that you have to run errands in this sect if someone asks you to?”

“Yes. That’s true.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“Fine. Just go and do it,” she said indifferently. “Maybe there are no instructions for you today, but there’ll be tomorrow.”

Jiang Hao looked at her. She was very intimidating.

It seemed that not obeying her would bring more trouble.

Jiang Hao looked at her. Her gaze did not waver.

There was no room for doubt or negotiation with her.

Compared to Hong Yuye, she seemed even more assertive.

The others on the fifth floor were also watching Jiang Hao.

It seemed they were all curious to see what would happen.

From the moment this woman had arrived, she had been able to make the people obey her in the Lawless Tower.

Almost no one dared to challenge her.

It was unclear whether Hai Luo could stand up to her.

“Senior, I’m sorry. If there are orders for me tomorrow, I’ll certainly follow them tomorrow. But today, there are none,” said Jiang Hao calmly.

“Do you think that the Lawless Tower will agree if I ask them to make you stay here for a month?” asked the woman with a rotting face.

“They probably would,” Jiang Hao said and nodded.

He was just an inner sect disciple.

If the Lawless Tower told him to stay here, he would have to. The Cliff of Broken Hearts would not contest that kind of direct order.

The power and authority of this woman was evident from the sorry state of King Hai Luo.

It was clear that she knew important secrets that the Lawless Tower wanted to know. They were willing to listen to anything she wanted.

“So, how low in cultivation do you think you will drop if you stay here for a month?” asked the woman.

Jiang Hao thought for a moment. “I might drop to the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.”

The woman was a little surprised by Jiang Hao’s calm attitude. “So? Are you going to bring me the things I asked for?”

“If the sect requires it, I’ll naturally do it,” he said politely.

The woman did not respond, but her eyes showed disdain.

Jiang Hao sighed. The fifth floor of the Lawless Tower would easily bring him trouble.

Who exactly was this person?

After hesitating for a bit, he decided to appraise her.
