Chapter 1162: Was It Hai Luo’s Master?
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There was a huge commotion in the Lawless Tower. It was unexpected.
Even the guards had not expected something like this to happen.
They were just patrolling the area when they heard everyone scream.
Zhuang Dongyun and other people from the Great Thousand God Sect let out a gut-wrenching scream.
The scream shocked the others.
The Lawless Tower’s guards immediately reported to Senior Sister Yinsha.
The people looked at each other.
What was going on?
“I didn’t notice anything different. Did you see what happened?” Mi Lingyue asked.
Zhuang Yuzhen shook his head. “I wasn’t paying attention. I just heard an argument over there. I thought it was nothing. It happened so suddenly.”
“Did you see it?” Mi Lingyue asked Old Man Corpse Sea.
“I saw it,” said Old Man Corpse Sea truthfully.
After having encountered Hai Luo’s Master, everyone was on the same page. No one acted high and mighty anymore.
When they saw Jiang Hao, no one even spoke loudly.
Yan Shang was the same.
Before, she mocked the Golden Core Realm cultivator. She dared not do that ever again.
They did not shout and cause a commotion like Hai Luo, but they did speak softly and politely like him when they saw Jiang Hao.
“What just happened?” asked the lantern bearer.
“Talisman…” Old Man Corpse Sea. “I saw a talisman in Bing Qing’s mouth. From the looks of it, it’s a Healing Talisman. When she reached out, it reacted with Zhuang Dongyun, and she screamed.”
“A Healing Talisman?” Everyone was puzzled.
How could a Healing Talisman have such an effect?
“Do you think it has something to do with Hai Luo’s Master?” Mi Lingyue suddenly asked.
No one could answer that question.
This time, the one causing a commotion was not Hai Luo but Bing Qing.
Moreover, the talisman was hidden so well.
If it was something planned by Hai Luo’s Master, would he have done it so secretly?
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that it was possible.
Breaking through the mental barrier was not something simple. It was a devastating thing for the Great Thousand God Sect.
Mi Lingyue lowered her head in thought. Maybe she was thinking about the Mind Control Core in her body.
At that moment, Yinsha arrived.
She frowned when he saw the terrified people.
She asked what happened.
They did not bother explaining it to her.
Yinsha was very powerful, but she was not the highest authority in this place.
They did not respect her.
“Do you need me to invite Hai Luo’s Master here instead?” Yinsha asked.
Jiang Hao’s reputation as Hai Luo’s Master was of importance on the fifth floor.
The lantern bearer said, “We are all the same here. Who are you?”
Everyone looked at her in disdain after that.
Yinsha did not say anything.
These people were not ordinary people and were difficult to get along with.
If it were not for Jiang Hao, she would not have been able to get any information from these people.
The lantern bearer told her what had happened.
“So, Bing Qing used a talisman to break the mental barrier?” Yinsha asked.
Everyone nodded.
Although it was hard to believe, it was the truth.
It was an ordinary Healing Talisman at that.
‘How is this possible?’ Yinsha thought.
Then, she looked at Bing Qing.
She looked furious, as though she wanted to tear apart the person beside her.
“Why did you do it?” Yinsha asked.
“She was badmouthing my friend.” Bing Qing said seriously.
Everyone knew Bing Qing’s friend was the spirit beast. It was Jiang Hao’s pet.
“Your talisman…” Yinsha wanted to ask about it but swallowed her words at the last minute.
She felt that it was not something she could ask.
She did not know what was going on.
“Are you going to talk to me now?” She looked at Zhuang Dongyun.
The other party was terrified. “It’s impossible. Why would a healing talisman be able to break through the mental barrier? This is absolutely impossible. Bing Qing, what have you done?”
“I’ll kill you!” said Bing Qing.
Yinsha asked a few simple questions and confirmed that the mental barrier had indeed been broken.
…
At the White Moon Lake, Yinsha stood in front of the courtyard and bowed. She explained everything to Baizhi.
“Sect Master, that is what happened. Now that the mental barrier has been broken, what should we do next?”
The mental barrier was not an ordinary thing. It was not broken so easily.
They knew because they had tried everything.
Baizhi stood up and walked to the lakeside. “How many people know about this?” she asked in a low voice.
“Everyone on the fifth floor, including me,” said Yinsha.
“No… There might be someone else.” Baizhi sighed. “If one suffers, that means all of them suffer. Hu Yuexin might be aware of it too.”
“I’m sorry for the trouble.”
Hu Yuexin was too strong, and they had no way to deal with her.
“Then, what should we do?” Yinsha asked.
It turned out that breaking through the mental barrier was even more troublesome than expected.
“Who did Bing Qing talk to recently?” Baizhi asked.
“I didn’t dare ask,” said Yinsha.
She did not know if the matter had anything to do with Jiang Hao. If it did, she did not want to know.
“Hmm… Then, don’t ask about it. Just pretend like you don’t know what happened. Pay attention to the Great Thousand God Sect and wait for my instructions,” said Baizhi.
Yinsha nodded.
Baizhi did not stay there any longer and quickly disappeared.
When she reappeared, she was at the Hundred Flowers Lake.
At that moment, a woman in a red and white dress stood quietly by the lake. Her aura fused with the flowers, and her entire being seemed to resonate with the surroundings.
An inexplicable pressure manifested.
Baizhi was terrified. She always felt a sense of dread when she came here.
It was as if the sky was about to collapse at any moment.
She did not even dare to breathe loudly.
“Sect Master.” Baizhi lowered her head and bowed.
“What is it?” Hong Yuye stood by the lake and did not look back.
“The mental barrier has been broken. I think the Great Thousand God Sect has their eyes on us now,” Baizhi said.
“What do you want to do?” Hong Yuye asked.
“The Great Thousand God Sect has some influence in various places, but they are not that outstanding. Their strength, however, is formidable. If they are really targeting us, the impact won’t be small, especially since we lack strength. If possible, I would like to cooperate with them, but I can’t tell them who broke the barrier,” said Baizhi.
Cooperating with the great Thousand God Sect was the best solution.
The reason for this was so that they could get to Feng Hua’s main body.
There won’t be a loss even if they choose to cooperate with them.
It was enough to use this to their advantage. However, since Bing Qing had been the one who started it, there would be conditions involved.
She was afraid that the one who had made Bing Qing do it might be the person backing Jiang Hao.
The fifth floor had always been Jiang Hao’s territory.
Although he did not make a move this time, it did not mean that it was not the doing of the person behind him.
She could not be careless about this.
“Who do you think did it?” Hong Yuye turned to look at Baizhi.
She fell silent.
“You do what you think is right,” said Hong Yuye.
“Understood.” Baizhi nodded. “Some people have contacted the Heavenly Tower. Perhaps we’ll have news soon.”
“Who went there?” Hong Yuye asked.
“The seventh top disciple, Bai Yi of the Cliff of Broken Hearts. He is at the peak of the Soul Ascension Realm,” said Baizhi. “That place is a bit strange. It seems others can’t go up the Heavenly Tower, but Bai Yi went up.”
