Chapter 619: A Corpse by the River

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The next day, by the riverside of Chaos Stone Island, Li arrived with the others.

At that moment, there were many people gathered by the river.

When Li arrived, they all made way for him.

Li witnessed a terrifying scene. He trembled.

Lying by the river was a man dressed in armor. He looked serene and peaceful, with no injuries on his body. However, there was no sign of life.

He was dead.

“Chief… Chief guard!” Li was agitated.

He felt a mix of fear and rage. He was so flustered that he couldn’t even stand on his own and needed help from others to stay upright. However, his shock counted as a warning for others.

“Smiling San Sheng!”

Li gritted his teeth. He was filled with contempt.

All those who had dared to go against Smiling San Sheng had ended up dead.

Even the chief guard was dead. That showed how terrifying Smiling San Sheng actually was.

Finally, Li decided not to investigate the matter involving Smiling San Sheng any further.

This incident had completely exceeded his expectations.

The death of the chief guard was a sign that Smiling San Sheng was an enemy of Chaos Stone Island. It was also a warning.

“The End of All Things…”

At that moment, Li finally understood why some people said they weren’t really true members of The Ed of All Things.

Smiling San Sheng was what The End of All Things represented.

A person who was reckless and didn’t care whether they lived or died. Someone who didn’t care about the influence of sects and other forces.

Who would dare to provoke such a person?

Li was afraid.

“Report to the Island Master and let him decide.”

In the end, Li could only entrust the matter to someone more capable.

As for himself, he was no longer willing to go against Smiling San Sheng.

The person lying by the river today was the chief guard. Tomorrow, it could be him.

Jiang Hao woke up in his room.

After drinking tea last night, he felt refreshed and began practicing the Mountain Sea Seal.

This time was different as he finally started to grasp the basics.

When he extended his hand, the Mountain Sea Seal condensed in his hand.

But it was still in its infancy. To achieve sufficient power, he needed to continue to study it.

Perhaps he needed to keep drinking September Spring Tea.

This type of tea truly yielded benefits with every sip.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t afford it.

He could only wait until next time.

Last night, he had felt a strong individual approaching him, but they disappeared in an instant.

It must have been Hong Yuye’s doing.

After that, he took out the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl and sealed it with the Mountain Sea Seal. Everything was enveloped in purple energy.

The seal became much more solid for a moment.

‘It’s useful for reinforcing the existing seal on something. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have offensive capabilities for now. I can only rely on further understanding later.’

However, the Mountain Sea Seal still had a formidable aura. It was just not very noticeable.

Shaking his head, Jiang Hao went to Hong Yuye’s room.

He lightly knocked on the door and opened it when he received no response.

He found Hong Yuye sitting by the window. She was lost in thought.

She wasn’t looking at the sunrise. She stared in the direction of the sea. However, the sea wasn’t visible from where they were.

semor, wnat are you 100K1ng at”‘ Jiang Hao asked.

“What can you see?” Hong Yuye asked in return.

“The building and the streets,” Jiang Hao said.

“Then, why do you ask?” Hong Yuye turned and looked at Jiang Hao.

He lowered his head.

“Do you have news?” Hong Yuye stood up and asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded. “Jing Fengyun is waiting below. He has already asked about the entrance to the Seven-Day Village. We need to enter the village to investigate the place.”

After that, Jiang Hao recounted what happened last night.

However, he didn’t get an answer.

Jiang Hao felt puzzled. He could perceive it. That meant that Hong Yuye had allowed him to perceive it.

Then, why didn’t she tell him anything today?

He didn’t think too much about it. He was busy with the matter of the Seven-Day Village today. As long as he found Tian Chen’s child, he would have the leverage to ask him if he had placed the stone tablets in the southern region.

If the other person knew about the stone tablets, he could find more information.

As for the mastermind behind the stone tablets, Jiang Hao felt that it was still very complicated.

It might not be easy to discover the truth.

Mi Lingyue stood in front of a woman and shared some information about Mu Longyu as well as the preparations that were made.

The woman nodded. She then stood in front of Mi Lingyue.

The Great Thousand Spiritual Technique began to resonate with Mi Lingyue.

“This can deepen your spiritual strength and make it less likely for problems to arise when undercover. Now that you have gained the trust of the other party, you must be even more careful. This time, you will receive more benefits.”

The Great Thousand Spiritual Technique was applied to Mi Lingyue. It allowed her spirit to have a stronger connection with the artifacts of the great Thousand God Sect.

If she were to defect, she would face a catastrophe.

This was the Great Thousand God Sect’s method for controlling their undercover agents.

It also allowed them to roughly understand the undercover agent’s state of mind.

Mi Lingyue worried immensely whenever this happened.

If she was discovered, she would die right here.

After a long time, the Great Thousand Spiritual Technique dissipated.

The woman wearily let her leave.

“Wait for the next debriefing. It probably won’t be at Chaos Stone Island.”

“Not Chaos Stone Island? Then where?”

“Your status is already quite high. The next time, there’s a high probability you’ll go to the Heavenly Tower.” “The Heavenly Tower?”

Mi Lingyue felt a sense of danger.

She knew that there were people from the Great Thousand God Sect at the Heavenly Tower.

She also knew that the person at the tower was difficult to deal with. He was extremely powerful, especially with a high level of mastery in the Great Thousand Spiritual Technique.

She might not be able to pass.

It seemed that she didn’t have much time left.

Mi Lingyue saw her two maids as she left the courtyard.

“Madam.”

The two of them respectfully greeted her.

“How did the investigation go?” Mi Lingyue asked as she put on a black robe.

“We have obtained a token to head to Seven-Day Village. It cost us quite a bit, but we should be able to enter smoothly, ” said the older maid.

“Why would she be in Seven-Day Village?” Mi Lingyue frowned.

“Is there something unusual about Seven-Day Village?” the younger maid asked.

They knew very little about Seven-Day Village. There was no information available.

“The Seven-Day Village is not a place where ordinary people can enter. It seems her condition is not good.” Mi Lingyue sighed. “Let’s go and take a look. Hopefully, she can help me.”

“By the way, is there anyone else going in besides us?”

“It seems that people from the Heavenly Tower are going in. Some of Heavenly King Hai Luo’s people are also asking around about it,” said the older maid.

“King Hai Luo?” Mi Lingyue narrowed her eyes. She sounded disdainful. “Let’s see what’s going on later. If it’s just an ordinary person, make them pay a price. They should bear the price of the trouble King Hai Luo has caused. What about the True Dragon’s Blood? Who obtained it?”

“Heavenly King Bu Dong’s people have gotten it,” said the older maid.

“King Bu Dong?” Mi Lingyue was puzzled.

Heavenly King Bu Dong wouldn’t act on this usually. He had already obtained a lot of benefits from the Heavenly Note Sect.

The other Heavenly Kings definitely wouldn’t agree to this.

“Never mind. Leave the matter to the Heavenly Kings. Let’s go to the Seven-Day Village first.” Mi Lingyue didn’t think too much about it..
