Chapter 377: How to Find The Spy?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“It seems he does possess some means.” Xu Bai nodded.

Once Gu Qing went off to rest, Fang Jin finally said, “Senior Brother Xi, are you going to get in touch with Jiang Hao?”

“No.” Xu Bai smiled. “Junior Brother Fang, we have only one purpose for this trip. Since all objectives have been achieved, there’s no need to complicate things unnecessarily. Our cooperation with the Heavenly Note Sect has been quite pleasant. We shouldn’t let Gu Qing muddy the waters. Just because she told her these things doesn’t mean we can trust her words. She might have some ulterior motives. Besides, what she says doesn’t even make sense. Don’t you find it odd that an ordinary inner sect disciple who is only at the Foundation Establishment Realm can enter and leave the Lawless Tower whenever he wishes? I don’t think the Heavenly Note Sect would want us to probe too much into their internal affairs. They won’t be pleased. The Heavenly Note Sect is a bit different from other demonic sects. Perhaps there’s still a chance for cooperation if we need it in the future.”

“I see.” Fang Jin nodded.

“Some things require a balance between advancing and retreating. Cunning individuals aren’t necessarily the smartest ones. We’ve gathered quite a bit of information already.” Xu Bai smiled.

Fang Jin was a clever person, and he understood what his senior meant.

“We’ll be leaving in two days. Junior Brother Fang, have you found the person you were looking for?” Xu Bai asked.

“I found him, but he declined the offer to join the Bright Moon Sect,” Fang Jin said.

“Everyone has their own aspirations. It’s always better not to push them.”

“I understand.”

Two days later, the people from the Bright Moon Sect left.

Jiang Hao knew that they had taken Gu Qing with them.

Their purpose for visiting was the almost-eruption of the Heavenly Fate

Misfortune Pearl. It was also because of Gu Qing.

Fortunately, none of this had affected him.

Even though traces of great luck, the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, and Gu Qing were somewhat connected to him, he managed to remain detached from it all.

The more things he did, the easier it was for others to notice him. It was an unavoidable reality.

As long as it didn’t directly affect him, he was okay with it. In time, everyone would forget about him anyway.

A few more days passed, and it was already early October.

Jiang Hao felt the stone tablet vibrate.

He thought it might be another gathering, but it was only a message.

“Eastern Region, Ancient Tower, Gu Dongqing.” “Western Region, Astronomical Academy, Luo Li.” “Southern Region, Blackheaven Sect, Xuanyuan He.” “Northern Region, Snow Spirit Sect, Ling Luo Xue Yu.”

Senior Dan Yuan had sent the message.

‘Is he notifying us of this because there won’t be a gathering in the recent future? Or is he trying to tell us not to discuss this matter in the gathering?’ Jiang Hao was puzzled. This trade wasn’t a typical one, so it made sense not to bring it up again during the gathering.

The names of the individuals were the answers he sought. People with a good understanding of languages.

Dan Yuan had provided him with information from people in all four regions.

“Currently, only Xuanyuan He from the Blackheaven Sect has a chance to make contact. The others are all too far away.”

He had never heard of the Ancient Tower in the east.

The Astronomical Academy in the West was probably where Gu Wen was from. Jiang Hao had met him in the Corpse Realm. It was a major sect, and it wasn’t easy to make contact with them.

There was no need to even entertain the North.

Going there was akin to asking for death.

The Divine Corpse Sect members were probably already waiting for those from the Heavenly Note Sect to throw themselves into their trap.

As for the Blackheaven Sect in the south, he had heard of them. He had even met someone from there, such as Xuanyuan Tai.

Even the surname was the same. They were probably related.

‘Even if I could find Xuanyuan Tai, I can’t leave the sect. Besides, going to the Blackheaven Sect would be suicidal. It might also raise Dan Yuan’s suspicion.

How can I get him to willingly teach me?’

Jiang Hao decided to tempt him with information.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t contact Xuanyuan Tai. He just didn’t want to.

There was a spy agent from the Blackheaven Sect within the Heavenly Note Sect. Jiang Hao knew that their name was Hua Le.

‘Based on the name, it seems like it might be a woman, I need to find out which branch she is in.’

It was troublesome because he didn’t know who he could ask about it. He just needed to wait and observe.

He needed to take it slow. He might find someone who knew about Hua Le.

Jiang Hao walked to the Immortal Peach Tree. He plucked a peach and took a bite. It was very sweet.

After taking care of the spirit herbs in the Spirit Herb Garden, the beast and Xiao Li returned.

They were discussing something.

“I think a thief broke into Senior Brother Jiang’s courtyard,” said Xiao Li.

This made Jiang Hao vigilant. ‘A thief in my courtyard?’

As expected, planting too many spirit herbs in the courtyard was a bad idea.

He needed to be cautious, especially since he couldn’t sense anything. However, Xiao Li had noticed it.

It seemed that whoever had visited his courtyard was definitely extraordinary.

As a True Dragon, Xiao Li could sense these things.

“A thief?” Cheng Chou asked in disbelief.

“Yes, I counted the peaches today, and one was missing. It must’ve been stolen by that thief,” Xiao Li said indignantly.

Jiang Hao froze.

At the Blackheaven Sect, Xuanyuan Tai sat on the ground. He was surrounded by numerous spirit herbs. He stared at the golden seeds in front of him.

“How can I possibly make them grow?”

The Xuanyuan family had strived for countless years, yet they still couldn’t manage to cultivate the ancestral divine flower from these seeds.

Within the clan, it was believed that successfully growing this flower would grant access to the ancestral legacy.

Unfortunately, after all these years, no one had managed to figure out a way to do it.

The seeds might as well have been lifeless stones.

Some within the clan even speculated that their ancestors were playing a prank on them.

Or perhaps it was a test of their determination.

“Senior Brother, you’re still thinking about growing those flowers?” asked a woman.

She was beautiful and youthful. Her presence was soothing.

“Junior Sister, what brings you here?” Xuanyuan Tai inquired.

“I know you are paying attention to the Heavenly Note Sect. I have some news. The ones from the Bright Moon Sect have left from there,” said Xuanyuan He.

“There must have been a reason for the Bright Moon Sect’s visit. Do the seniors plan to make a visit there?”

“How is that even possible?” Xuanyuan He shook her head. “We don’t get along with the Heavenly Note Sect. We might even launch an attack on them to prevent their evil plans in our vicinity.”

Major conflicts between sects were rare unless there were significant reasons. However, the Heavenly Note Sect had been quite active recently. They had attacked Azure Mountain.

The Xuanyuan family was considering fighting the Heavenly Note Sect.

But the distance was too great, and every sect had its own affairs to handle. So, no one was going to the Heavenly Note Sect yet.

“Is that so?” Xuanyuan Tai stood up and looked at the seeds helplessly.

“Let’s wait a bit longer to see if there’s any new information. If we still can’t find a solution, I’m thinking of leaving the sect to find a way.”

“Leaving the sect? Where do you plan to go, Senior Brother?” Xuanyuan He asked in concern.

“I can’t reveal that to you at the moment.”

“Can you please be patient? I’ve found some ancient books. Perhaps they might contain relevant information on how to grow them.”

“I’ll wait a bit longer. I didn’t say I’ll be leaving soon.”

“Alright, then I’ll go and browse through the ancient books. Maybe I’ll find

something..”
