Jiang Hao walked on the mountain road ahead.

Hong Yuye was by his side. She went unnoticed.

Even Jing Fengyun paid her little attention.

Jiang Hao was not surprised by this. After all, he was the one taking action.

Hong Yuye was just accompanying him, even though she was the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, she had never insisted on coming out to the forefront.

On the way, Jiang Hao was thinking about the Seven-Day Village.

Tian Chen’s child was inside that village. Did that mean it was a safe place?

Did it also indicate that it was a gathering place for members of The End of All Things?

It seemed likely.

But…

The purpose of The End of All Things was to destroy everything. Would such a force really establish a refuge village?

Jiang Hao couldn’t be sure.

He had to find a way to enter the village.

“How can one prove that they are a member of The End of All Things?” Jiang Hao asked.

From what he knew, The End of All Things did not have any identification method.

Everyone knew that Smiling San Sheng was a member of The End of All Things.

But he didn’t have any credentials. Was there a secret code?

The codes changed frequently.

Jing Fengyun thought about it. “It seems like there isn’t a specific way to prove it. On Chaos Stone Island, there is a method. If you are a member of The End of All Things, you can get it from the Island Master’s subordinates at the center of the island.”

“Do they have a token or something like that?” Jiang Hao asked.

“They usually have a secret code,” Jing Fengyun said. “The secret code is necessary for The End of All Things. It’s a way for them to designate tasks.

Jiang Hao asked, “What cultivation realm is the Island Master?”

“The Island Master?” Jing Fengyun fell into deep thought. “According to rumors, the Island Master is not a high-ranking member of The End of All Things, but his cultivation realm is definitely not weak. He is not considered an important figure in The End of All Things. That’s why the cultivation realms of people entering the island are restricted to below the Immortal Ascension Platform. The Island Master is probably a cultivator of this realm, so he can control the overall situation.”

‘Immortal Ascension Platform?’

Jiang Hao felt that this was a bit troublesome. His cultivation was too low.

It seemed like he needed to avoid conflict with the Island Master at any cost.

But…

Would Smiling San Sheng be afraid?

He would probably avoid it but not out of fear. He would have other cards up his sleeve.

He had the Immortal Mountain and Sea Shield. As long as he held out a bit longer, he could use the Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman to escape.

Once he escaped, he would have some time to communicate with the ring he left on the small island.

He could always return using the ring and attack again. The other person might surrender after a few back- and-forths.

Jiang Hao smiled.

When Jing Fengyun saw this, he was surprised.

He felt that this senior’s smile was somewhat… unsettling.

“Senior, aren’t you going to the central area for trade? It’s said that this time they have Dragon’s Blood.”

“Dragon’s Blood?”

“Yes. It’s said that Dragon’s Blood is an unexpected gain for The End of All

Things. Consuming it can temper the body and condense a strand of True Dragon’s aura. It has many benefits for cultivation. It can resonate with things related to the Dragon Clan. It’s a rare treasure. Even if you don’t use it, the selling price outside is extremely high.”

“Really?” Jiang Hao was quite surprised.

“Yes. There are quite a few people outside begging for Dragon’s Blood.” Jing Fengyun nodded.

Jiang Hao thought of Xiao Li. ‘Extremely high price…’

Xiao Li rarely encountered mishaps, and she seldom suffered losses.

The worst-case scenario for her would be embarrassment.

He sighed inwardly and didn’t think about it any further.

People from overseas all coveted Dragon’s Blood because it could summon the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have caused such a stir.

But he had no interest in it.

Apart from Xiao Li, Liu Xingchen had the remnant soul of a True Dragon in him. Heavenly King Hai Luo had also told him that there might be real dragons beneath Chaos Stone Island.

So, instead of Dragon’s Blood, it would be better to look for real dragons.

“So many people are vying for it, but we don’t need it for now,” Jiang Hao said with a smile. “Let’s go to the Island Master’s subordinates to get an identity token for The End of All Things, and then, we visit the Seven-Day Village.” Jiang Hao strode forward.

“Eh?” Jing Fengyun was puzzled. “But you have to be a member of The End of All Things to get one.”

“I told you I am Smiling San Sheng. Isn’t he a member of The End of All

Things?” Jiang Hao looked back at the young man behind him and smiled.

“What’s there to fear? You’re familiar with Smiling San Sheng, so just help me build up a convincing excuse.” Jiang Hao said easily.

Jing Fengyun felt a bit helpless and hesitated.

Jiang Hao stopped and looked at him. He used what he had learned from the nameless manual.

Although he couldn’t find out everything, his observational skills were not bad.

Even if he didn’t understand this person’s cultivation technique, he could tell whether the circulation of spiritual energy was smooth.

At this moment, the young man in front of him had at least three places where spiritual energy was stagnant. These three places hindered the gathering of strength.

Jiang Hao opened his fan and a gentle force hit the young man’s shoulder.

In an instant, the swirling aura was scattered.

The flow of aura was smooth for a moment, but it would gradually congest again.

This was due to the cultivation technique.

As Jing Fengyun hesitated, he felt the smooth flow even before he advanced.

This was an effect he hadn’t achieved even after consulting many people.

He was astonished. He looked at the senior in front of him.

“Shall we proceed?” Jiang Hao asked with a smile.

This time, Jing Fengyun didn’t hesitate at all. “Let’s go.” He walked at the forefront. “Is my condition serious, Senior?”

“Lead the way first,” Jiang Hao said calmly with an air of mystery.

In reality, he didn’t understand it. He could only ask Hong Yuye about it later.

Being able to identify a problem was completely different from actually solving it.

At the Chaos Stone Island, there was a large mansion now very far away from the center.

Inside, everything was orderly. The scenery was beautiful, and the architecture was grand. Everything indicated wealth and status.

Outside the main mansion was a smaller building with a long table inside.

Sitting on the inner side of the table was a middle-aged man who appeared somewhat impatient.

Across from him was a young man who looked frustrated.

“You clearly said you would give me the identity token today, so why are you saying there’s no token left?” the young man asked.

“We showed the secret code to the Island Master, but it seems it needs further verification. You’ll have to wait,” the middle-aged man casually said.

Upon hearing this, the young man said indignantly, “How many times has this happened? Every time you say it needs verification, but each time during the secret code change, you claim it’s incorrect. Yesterday, you assured me it would be fine today, and now, you’re saying it’s not?”

“If it’s not fine, it’s not fine. What’s the use of arguing with me?” the middle-aged man said. “Then, who should I talk to?”

“That’s beyond my capacity.”

“Then, who’s in charge?”

“It’s Senior Tian Chen, but he’s not available at the moment. So, for now, you’ll have to continue waiting.”

Then, the young man angrily walked away.

Once he left, a servant entered.

The middle-aged man handed over an identity token. “Deliver this to that distinguished guest and make sure they settle the remaining spirit stones.”

“Yes.” The servant took the token and hesitated. “Senior, if this is discovered, what will happen?

“What will happen? Daring to cause trouble here is challenging the Island Master. The island Master rarely goes out, so there are guards to deal with troublemakers. Do these people still have the guts to cause trouble?” the middle-aged man said coldly.

Then, he asked, “How many more distinguished guests need identity tokens?” “There are three more,” said the servant.

“Let them bid. Whoever offers the highest price will be given the next token,” the middle-aged man said.

“Understood.” The servant nodded in response..
