Jiang Hao looked at the woman in front of him.

Then, his divine power surged.

Although she could cause trouble for him, he needed to know.

It made him feel like he was a target.

On the fifth floor, even the strongest person among the captives, Old Man Corpse Sea, did not make him feel this way.

It was not that Old Man Corpse Sea was weak. He just did not target Jiang Hao without reason.

He did not know where Old Man Corpse Sea had been taken. He wondered if he was even alive in the Lawless Tower.

The feedback of the appraisal returned.

[Yan Shang: One of the top disciples of the Sunset Immortal Sect. One of the closest avatars to the original body of the Dark Snow of the Netherworld. She deliberately entered the Lawless Tower using the Face-Swap Technique to see if the tower would help her suppress the rotting curse. She also intends to find a way in the Heavenly Note Sect to resist the curse. Her true self has been preserved in a secret place in the Sunset immortal Sect. This is her skin. She intends to use the Heavenly Note Sect to suppress the curse. She is also here to find Smiling San Sheng’s whereabouts. She thinks Smiling San Sheng is somehow connected to you, so she wants to provoke you enough to draw him out. Yan Shang will never do anything evil, but Yan Shang’s skin will do anything horrifying to ensure the real Yan Shang remains untouched and clean.]

“Yan Shang?”

Jiang Hao was surprised.

He recalled that Yan Shang had disappeared, but he had not expected her to turn up in the Lawless Tower. Or rather, this was her skin.

He wondered if the Lawless Tower was aware of this.

‘But it seems she doesn’t know where Feng Hua is…’

This person was terrifying. The Heavenly Sound Sect had searched everywhere, but they could not find her real body.

Jiang Hao thought about it for a while. If Feng Hua found out that the Lawless Tower could suppress her curse, would she appear here?

It was possible.

After that, he didn’t pay attention to her. He turned and walked toward Zhuang Yuzhen.

“Is Old Man Corpse Sea coming back?” he asked.

“I don’t know. I heard that he has no interest in the Heavenly Note Sect,” Zhuang Yuzhen said.

Jiang Hao nodded.

Although Old Man Corpse Sea had an extraordinary background, he had no interest in the Heavenly Note Sect.

He happened to end up here because of his rotten luck. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

As for whether he would visit again in the future, no one could say.

Jiang Hao wanted to ask Gu Jin about it.

“I’m here to ask you some questions, Senior,” said Jiang Hao. “Senior, do you know about the Ancient Sword Cliff in the Divine Corpse Sect?”

Jiang Hao didn’t beat around the bush and asked his question right away.

He did not care if someone here heard him asking about the cliff. He did not have to worry even if the people at the gathering knew about it.

Jiang Hao liked staying informed.

It was natural to be curious about something.

“It is said that the first time we found this place, there was a figure inside who asked our ancestors a question. After that, the place became ours,” Zhuang Yuzhen said.

Jiang Hao was surprised. “What was the question?”

“What year is it today?” Zhuang Yuzhen thought for a moment. “After that, the figure left and never appeared again. As for the place, the Divine Corpse Sect claimed it.”

Jiang Hao was quite surprised. ‘What year is it today?’

The figure might not have been an ordinary person.

After that, he asked some more questions. The answer he received was similar to what Senior Dan Yuan had given him.

As for the mysterious figure, perhaps Old Man Corpse Sea would know about it.

Unfortunately, Jiang Hao did not know where Old Man Corpse Sea was. He would ask Senior Sister Yinsha when he met her.

“Do you intend to go to that place?” Zhuang Yuzhen asked.

Jiang Hao shook his head.

He did not reveal what he was planning.

If there was no one in the gathering, he had to find someone else to go there.

Maybe he could find out about Zhuang Yuzhen’s disciple, Qu Zhong.

Many years had passed, and Jiang Hao did not know if he was still in the South.

There was no one from the North in the gathering either.

If there was even one person from there, it would have been much more convenient.

After that, Jiang Hao left some wine and meat behind for Zhuang Yuzhen.

Then, he walked to the lantern bearer. “Senior, are you getting used to the place here?”

“I am. I heard that people from the Great Thousand God Sect are coming here soon?” The lantern bearer’s voice was calm.

“Yes. They should be here in the next two days,” Jiang Hao said.

“The more people come, the more they can find out. They have been keeping an eye on the Heavenly Note Sect. I also think this place is not simple. Perhaps the divine soul of the Holy Master and I aren’t the only excuse for them to visit,” said the lantern bearer.

Jiang Hao was surprised.

It did not seem like this person was making blind accusations without basis.

Jiang Hao bowed and thanked him for the information.

“Is there anything else you want to know, Junior Brother?” asked the lantern bearer.

Jiang Hao shook his head. There was nothing else he wanted to ask.

“Then, let me remind you of something again… The distorted darkness is near. You need to carry a lamp and move forward,” said the lantern bearer mysteriously.

Jiang Hao was puzzled. ‘Distorted darkness?’

After that, he left.

Mu Longyu wanted to say something, but he did not speak.

There was no need to hurry. It was not the right time.

This person might be able to help them in the future.

When he left the fifth floor, Jiang Hao met a Senior Sister and informed her of the lantern bearer’s warning.

The latter was quite surprised.

The Great Thousand God Sect might have other motives for visiting the sect. It had to be taken into consideration.

He also told her about the “distorted darkness.” Something like that could not be ignored.

Jiang Hao also asked about Old Man Corpse Sea.

The Senior Sister told him Old Man Corpse Sea was taken to a higher floor for interrogation.

After that, Jiang Hao turned and left.

He did not know what he would ask about when he actually met Old Man Corpse Sea.

Upon receiving the message, Senior Sister Yinsha immediately went to the fifth floor.

When she arrived, the woman with the rotting face said, “I can tell you more but on one condition.”

Senior Sister Yinsha was surprised.

Had Jiang Hao handled this woman as well?

But he had not mentioned anything about her when he left.

Out of curiosity, she asked, “What do you want?”

“That Golden Core Realm cultivator… would he be coming here again?” asked the woman. “I want him to listen to my orders. He should bring me food whenever I ask him to. Also, take away his protective treasure and make him stay at the Lawless Tower for a month. I will tell you more about the person you seek, but he must be put here within half a month.”

“Alright. But you also have to keep your word,” said Yinsha.

Jiang Hao returned to his house and waited for the final competition to begin.

He also waited for news from the Lawless Tower.

Yan Shang would surely make demands to target him.

She had a lot of information to give and had a clear goal.

If she took drastic measures, it would affect him greatly.

They might probably instruct him to remain in the Lawless Tower for the next few days.

If he became a top disciple candidate, the Lawless Tower would find it difficult to make him do something like that.

The top disciples of the sect were not ordinary disciples. And candidates chosen to become one were equally extraordinary.

It would depend on what came first.
