Jiang Hao was taken to the Lawless Tower by the people of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Ji Bian was among them.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he whispered, “Senior Brother Jiang, the Lawless Tower is a place where the sect imprisons criminals. The people inside are not to be provoked. Also, you can’t walk around recklessly. Your cultivation might be destroyed at any time.”
Jiang Hao nodded.
He thanked him.
Then, he met the Lawless Tower’s seniors when they came over to take over.
Ji Bian specifically mentioned that this was Jiang Hao’s first time here, but his achievements were extremely high, and he was different from the others.
The two people who had approached to take over the prisoners felt a bit strange.
They wondered if the Junior Brother felt uncomfortable because of Jiang Hao’s presence.
However, they did not say anything else. They just nodded and led Jiang Hao away.
When there was no one around, the Senior Brother, who was leading Jiang Hao away, said, “Usually, people are kept on the first floor. If they are suspicious, they are sent to the second or third floor. If you want, we can take you to the fifth floor. No problem at all.”
Those stationed in the Lawless Tower knew that Jiang Hao was familiar with the fifth floor.
“Thank you, Senior,” Jiang Hao said gratefully.
He gave them each a talisman.
He had a lot of talismans.
The talismans were ordinary enough that they were no use to these seniors, but they were happy to receive them, nonetheless.
They were even happier when it came from Jiang Hao. He was, after all, a candidate for the seat of the top disciple, after all.
Who knew which crazy person had sent him here?
There was a high chance that there was something suspicious about that person. They might have to investigate.
On the first floor of the Lawless Tower, there were many people imprisoned there.
Even though he was not affected by the Lawless Tower, he was still worried that his cultivation realm might collapse.
Jiang Hao glanced at them. Then, he was ushered up the stairs.
Some people on that floor mocked him.
They did not do so outright. They waited till Jiang Hao was out of sight. “I thought he practices the Blood Wish Path and is a candidate for the seat of the top disciple. It seems that he is no longer safe.”
“He isn’t the only candidate. Besides, he is miles away in strength and power compared to Senior Brother Manlong and the others.”
“He used shady methods to advance to the Golden Core Realm. He might enjoy his position right now, but soon enough, he’ll fall from grace.”
“That’s true. Candidates are just candidates. He might not even make it. How can someone like that compare to the real top disciples?” said a woman.
“That’s right. If he was really useful as a candidate, would he be sent here?” said someone else.
Many people wanted to kick him when he was down.
Meanwhile, Bing Qing felt strange.
Didn’t these people know about the Master of the fifth floor of the Lawless Tower?
There was no one on the fifth floor who did not know this person, and no one dared to offend him.
“Why did Senior Brother Jiang come in here? These people are obviously jealous.” Lin Zhi felt a little strange.
“If you knew they were jealous, why didn’t you yell at them?” Bing Qing asked.
Lin Zhi shook his head. Senior Brother Jiang was still taking care of him. If he rushed into a conflict recklessly, it would only cause trouble for Senior Brother Jiang Hao.
He had to work hard and get better so that he would not cause any more trouble for Senior Brother Jiang Hao.
…
Jiang Hao could feel the envious gazes. He felt the people’s mockery.
He knew they hated him for being a candidate for the seat of the top disciple, and they assumed he practiced the Blood Wish Path.
He had always been criticized anyway.
It seemed that no matter what methods he used, others always found problems with it.
They never respected or admired him.
Perhaps it was because he had made drastic progress despite being just ordinary.
They were not his enemies. It was just human nature.
However, he did not care.
There was no need to prove anything to anybody. In a few years, there would be another generation of people who would replace them.
Time flowed like a river.
He could not go against the current. Life went on.
The people they met would be replaced by another group.
Everyone had different thoughts and opinions.
Since people would talk about him anyway, why would he bother to prove himself to them? He could not make everyone happy.
Receiving praise and admiration from other people would not help him with his cultivation anyway.
If someone did something untoward, he would just need to persuade them otherwise.
Just as he was thinking, he arrived at the fifth floor.
This time, he looked for Mi Lingyue.
He wanted to ask her about forging.
Perhaps it would be of great help to his cultivation.
On the fifth floor, Jiang Hao saw the same people as before.
This surprised him a little.
There was no one from the Great Thousand God Sect.
They should have been put here as captives.
However, it did not matter. It was fine as long as the most important people were present.
“There seems to be a fight happening outside. The Great Thousand God Sect has brought quite a number of people here,” Zhuang Yuzhen said.
“I think there was someone from the Great Thousand God Sect here. Didn’t Heavenly King Hai Luo discover something?” Mi Lingyue said.
“The Great Thousand God Sect’s Great Thousand Spiritual Technique is extremely powerful, and it can cover a wide range of people. Junior Brother, you’d better be careful,” said the lantern bearer.
Jiang Hao agreed with him.
Of the six people here, three were from the Great Thousand God Sect.
Mi Lingyue was a spy of the Great Thousand God Sect.
The lantern bearer was an important member of the Great Thousand God Sect.
Yan Shang was an avatar of one of the top three thousand members of the Great Thousand God Sect.
“I don’t even need to read the letter to know that the people of the Great Thousand God Sect are after something. It can disintegrate cultivation and suppress mental energy. It’s extremely important to them. They are a bunch of brainless people,” said Hai Luo.
At that moment, Yan Shang did not say anything. She still maintained her arrogance, but she did not want to provoke Jiang Hao anymore.
According to these people, if she offended him more, the secrets he unearthed about them would get even more uncanny and horrifying.
Previously, she had doubted him, but when she saw Old Man Corpse Sea giving up, she believed these people.
“I heard that the people of the Great Thousand God Sect did something.”
Jiang Hao nodded but did not say anything.
Instead, he walked to Mi Lingyue.
She looked startled. She was happy to talk to him.
However, if something happened, it would be too dangerous.
“I haven’t done anything wrong, have I?” she asked. She had spent all her money to enter this tower. She did not want it all to go to waste.
“Senior, you must be joking. The Lawless Tower is not targeting you,” Jiang Hao said.
The person in front of him was not a criminal.
“That’s good.” Mi Lingyue let out a sigh of relief.
The person in front of him had too many traumas to deal with. It made sense she was afraid.
“I would like to ask you something about forging,” said Jiang Hao politely.
“Forging?” Mi Lingyue’s lips curled up into a smile.
She might not compare to others on the fifth floor when it came to strength and power, but she was the best at forging here.
“I heard that one needs to collect enough ancient treasures to improve their forging skills. Is that true?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Yes. We need a lot of those. The more powerful you are, the more you need to get better at it. I have a warehouse overseas that is full of such treasures. Mu Longyu is still collecting rare treasures for me. I haven’t reached the peak of my skill yet,” said Mi Lingyue.
Jiang Hao sighed. ‘Rich people…’
“Are those treasures dirty?” Jiang Hao asked.
The question surprised Mi Lingyue.
“There isn’t much dust on them,” she said after some thought. “I clean them occasionally, but they are covered in rust. I couldn’t clean them up completely.”
Jiang Hao was a little disappointed when he heard that, but the last part of the sentence gave him hope.
It seemed that he needed to find a way to work with Mu Longyu.
As a gesture of sincerity, he decided to figure out a way for the other party to be able to find the core of the Great Thousand Spirit Technique.
It would prove his sincerity if he helped out in breaking the control of the Great Thousand God Sect over them.
