Chapter 871: No One Dared to Move
Lou Mantian, who was originally eating spirit stones, paused, and the spirit stone in his hand fell to the ground.
He picked up the spirit stones bitterly. The old man suddenly stood up.
‘Purple energy…’
If he was right, then this person was extraordinary.
The middle-aged man looked shocked.
Many things had been as he had expected, but the appearance of the fierce creature had changed all that.
He couldn’t guess what the situation would turn into.
This person might be the biggest variable in recent developments.
Jiang Hao stepped to the edge of the cliff. He was surprised by the three people around him.
Their stares made him nervous.
To make sure everything went smoothly, he activated a trace of purple energy to intimidate the three individuals.
Luckily, it seemed to work.
Among the three, Lou Mantian surprised Jiang Hao the most.
How could a Return to Void Realm cultivator compete for the Sage’s Pages?
There was only one possibility. He might not really be in the Return to Void Realm.
His true strength was immeasurable.
Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, he always treated everyone kindly. Otherwise, it would have been disastrous.
“So, it’s you again,” Lou Mantian said with a bitter smile. “I always found it strange why I kept running into you.”
Jiang Hao looked at him. He was confused.
‘When did you find out about me?” Lou Mantian asked. Jiang Hao chuckled. “Senior, you think I’m here for you.”
“Are you here to find me?” Lou Mantian asked cautiously.
Jiang Hao shook his head.
“Did you know it was me from the beginning?” Lou Mantian asked. ‘I don’t even know who you are…’ Jiang Hao could only pretend not to know.
“I have only one question. And then I will leave. Well… If you are here to kill me, I have nothing much to say, ” said Lou Mantian.
Jiang Hao sighed. He had been waiting for Lou Mantian to reveal his identity.
The two people beside them were also curious.
They didn’t know anything about these two, but they listened quietly. Sometimes, listening was all it took to find out everything.
“Sure. Ask away…” Jiang Hao said.
Lou Mantian hesitated. “Are you… really Gu Jin?”
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Hao in disbelief.
‘Gu Jin? How is that possible?’
The old man was also shocked.
Jiang Hao looked at Lou Mantian. He never expected him to ask that.
If it was any other time, Jiang Hao would have admitted truthfully.
But things were now complicated because of the purple energy.
Otherwise, he could have said that Jing and Gu Jin were acquainted.
What was needed right now wasn’t to clear up everything but to make it more confusing.
Gu Jin’s identity sometimes served as a layer of protection.
Under Lou Mantian’s tense gaze, Jiang Hao shook his head. “I just have some connection to him.”
“So, you’re not Gu Jin?” Lou Mantian asked again. Jiang Hao smiled. “We agreed on only one question.”
Lou Mantian was taken aback. He then turned and left.
If the person behind him wanted to attack, he had nothing to say.
But how would Jiang Hao dare to make a move?
A person who was related to Gu Jin was not someone he could mess with.
If he made a move, his identity would be revealed. And that wouldn’t be good for Sage’s Pages.
Now, he had the power of purple energy and the blessing of Gu Jin. So, Lou Mantian couldn’t touch him.
There was no one daring to make a move against him.
Perhaps obtaining the Sage’s Pages would be easy.
After Lou Mantian left, there were three groups left on the scene.
“I am Shan Qinghe, the First Master of the Heavenly Tower. We heard about your contribution. It’s truly astonishing,” said Shan Qinghe with a smile. ‘The First Master of Heavenly Tower?’ Jiang Hao hadn’t expected to meet him here.
The old man beside him was also the same. It was impossible to even guess how powerful they were.
“I am Ying Feiyu from the Heavenly Tower,” Ying Feiyu said politely.
‘Heavenly Tower?’ Jiang Hao thought for a moment and realized that people from the East had all gathered here.
It made sense.
After all, they were from overseas.
“I am Gu,” Jiang Hao said calmly.
He still didn’t reveal his full name.
In the present situation, it was best to keep these people guessing.
This way, his chances of winning would be higher.
Later, he couldn’t make a move himself, or problems would arise.
It depended on whether Hong Yuye would attempt to compete too.
At that moment, under the Jianxin Cliff, there was a continuous surge of spiritual energy as if there were endless hidden currents below.
“Do you know the origin of the Jianxin Cliff?” asked Shan Qinghe.
“Wasn’t there once a powerful individual who attained enlightenment here?” asked Ying Feiyu.
“That’s just a common rumor,” Shan Qinghe shook his head. “According to records, the Dragon Clan once established a Dragon’s Nest in the West. The Dragon’s Nest was originally on the surface of mountains and rivers, but later, it went through some transformation. The Dragon’s Nest went underground after that. When the mountains stabilized, it became the current Jianxin Cliff.” Ying Feiyu was quite surprised.
Although Jiang Hao showed no emotion on his face, he was surprised too.
The area beneath the Jianxin Cliff was the Dragon’s Nest. It might be related to Xiao Li!
He wanted to go down and take a look, but with so many people around, he couldn’t just rush away.
The First Master of Heavenly Tower also dared not act recklessly.
The fact of the Dragon’s Nest was hard to verify.
“Dragon’s Nest?” Ying Feiyu asked curiously. “Why not go down and take a look?”
Shan Qinghe shook his head. “Only those who have the fortune of the West or are of the Dragon Clan can enter it. At present, it seems that there are only four people who can go down.”
Those were the four people who obtained the jade pendant.
Jiang Hao lowered his head. He couldn’t see anything. He had no intention of going down.
If possible, he wanted to bring Xiao Li here.
Unfortunately, it was too far away.
He couldn’t bring her here, even with the nine golden rings.
Hong Yuye had mentioned before that one had to be prepared to face danger when teleporting to faraway places.
Although Xiao Li was a member of the Dragon Clan, she was ultimately just a young dragon.
After that, no one spoke.
Jiang Hao remained calm. The Dragon’s Nest didn’t tempt him much.
If it weren’t for Xiao Li, he wouldn’t even bother.
If it involved legendary races, there must be dangers that a small cultivator like him couldn’t be involved in.
As time passed, Jiang Hao began to feel that something was trying to break free.
Suddenly, he was curious. Was there a connection between the Sage’s Pages and the Dragon Clan?
Otherwise, why would they appear here?
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sound of hidden currents.
It sounded like a surging sea.
Although he didn’t see anything, images formed in his mind.
The sea roared, and something emerged from the endless waves.
Then, it rushed toward the sky.
Boom!
Golden light flashed and soared into the sky.
The four people looked up.
Shan Qinghe and the others were ready to fight it.
However, when they saw Jiang Hao standing in place, they chose not to fight.
They also waited..
