Xing was surprised, and he understood that Nine Nether had been sealed.

Everyone knew the state of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl. Putting them together meant that they were in the same state.

After some hesitation, he went on to explain the details.

Jiang Hao only realized the origins of Nine Nether after hearing the story.

The Fallen Immortal Clan gathered, the Human Emperor took action, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe was suppressed, and the True Dragon guarded the Nine Nether.

Madam Gong was indeed lucky. Maybe she was right. Someone might have weakened its seal.

After Xing finished speaking, Jiang Hao said in a low voice, “Someone in the overseas region has taken Madam Gong’s token. The Heavenly Tower may be facing a crisis.”

“The overseas Heavenly Tower?” Gui was surprised. “The tower has a significant influence. It is said to be related to a reclusive senior from the Astronomical Academy.”

“The Heavenly Tower’s Great Master is indeed a reclusive senior from the Astronomical Academy, but no one knows exactly who that is. It is said that he left the Astronomical Academy due to differences in opinion,” Liu said.

“When I was in the Bright Moon Sect, the Astronomical Academy said they had a great senior there and had been searching for him for a long time. I wonder if it’s the same person,” Gui said.

Jiang Hao lowered his head. He felt that Gui’s speculation was a bit far-fetched. However, the Heavenly Tower was indeed remarkable.

“By the way, Madam Gong knows a lot about many things. She might have more information on Feng Hua and The End of All Things,” Liu suddenly said.

Jiang Hao understood that Liu was speaking to him.

“Because of the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart, there should be a lot of events happening in the overseas region, right?” Gui asked.

“There is indeed quite a lot happening right now.” Liu nodded.

After thinking for a moment, he said, “It seems that some people are willing to venture into the Abyssal Sea to try and summon the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart. They all want to obtain it but don’t know exactly what the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart is. There may be people from the Saint Bandits involved too. Recently, I found some of their tracks. Apart from that, the name of Smiling San Sheng has spread far and wide. It’s said that some people who are against him are waiting for him to come out of Chaos Stone Island. But I heard recently that he has already left Chaos Stone Island. It shouldn’t be long before people targeting him show up.”

Liu looked at Jing. He wasn’t the only one. Both Xing and Gui did the same. Everyone knew that Smiling San Sheng was related to Jing in some way.

Jiang Hao had anticipated this situation, but Liu’s information was accurate.

Jiang Hao had barely left Chaos Stone Island, and he already knew about it.

This also showed that Liu had quite a lot of influence in the overseas region.

After a brief silence, Jiang Hao said, “I could be Smiling San Sheng.”

What does that mean?

Everyone was puzzled.

Jiang Hao did not elaborate. He left them guessing. This way, it wouldn’t raise too much suspicion.

He wasn’t strong enough by himself. However, if he was with Hong Yuye, he wouldn’t mind accepting his role as Smiling San Sheng.

This would make people less suspicious. Even if they did become suspicious, with Hong Yuye’s help, his aura would be strong enough.

He had nothing to fear.

The concern was during the gathering and while in the sect, where he could only rely on himself.

“What do you plan to do, Friend Jing?” Gui asked.

Jiang Hao felt that Liu should be cheering in his heart.

After a moment of silence, he said, “I plan to go take a look at the Abyssal Sea.”

“Are you interested in the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart, Friend Jing?” Xing asked.

Jiang Hao shook his head.

The Ancestral Dragon’s Heart had nothing to do with him or Hong Yuye. This time, they wanted the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl.

This time, his focus was on the Abyssal Dragon Pearl. It had been more than a hundred years since he had last seen it.

After that, the discussion continued for quite some time. It touched on various matters in the overseas region.

Liu also talked about the Heavenly King Hai Luo. He mentioned that many people were wondering what he was up to.

Some thought he had gone crazy, while others believed he was up to something big. Most importantly, some wanted to control him.

Xing mentioned that members of the Clear Sky School were in the southern region looking for Shang An.

Gui expressed that she had recently felt the presence of mysterious, powerful individuals and wasn’t sure if they were from the Clear Sky School.

At Madam Gong’s mansion, Jiang Hao slowly opened his eyes.

This gathering took quite some time, and they discussed various matters.

While they gained some valuable information, it seemed the most pertinent was about Nine Nether and the fact that someone might come after Smiling San Sheng.

Jiang Hao reached for a notebook to jot down the details of the meeting.

However, just as he was about to start, he suddenly remembered something.

He had entered the meeting while Hong Yuye was still bathing.

He looked behind to see if she was done.

The screen could block his line of sight, but he could still see some faint silhouette. He spotted a figure leaning by the edge of the tub.

“Has she not come out yet?”

Jiang Hao hesitated a moment. “Senior?”

There was no response.

After waiting for a while, he took a few steps toward the screen. “Senior?”

Still, there was no response.

“I’m coming in, Senior.”

With those words, he went around the screen.

She was as fair as snow, and her arm rested on the edge of the tub. Her profile faced him as she slept.

A few strands of hair had fallen outside the bath and swayed with her breathing.

‘Is she asleep?’

This time, he could clearly see her breathing, so he wasn’t worried about her. He had intended to leave, but then, he noticed a teapot.

He had forgotten to drink the September Spring earlier, so having a cup now shouldn’t be a problem.

He hesitated a bit and then walked to the teapot.

His footsteps were incredibly light. He made no sound.

When Jiang Hao reached the teapot, he saw that the tea was in excellent condition, which pleased him greatly.

Just a few sips of this tea, and the Mountain Sea Seal would gather more power.

As he was about to pour the tea, he instinctively glanced at the woman who was asleep in the tub.

Since he had secretly entered, he was worried that she might wake up, or perhaps she was already awake and was watching him.

However, Hong Yuye still seemed to be sound asleep.

He heaved a sigh of relief and poured the tea.

However, on his way back, he suddenly saw her fair, jade-like back, which prompted him to look at her chest.

In a split second, he saw everything.

For a moment, Jiang Hao was taken aback.

At that moment, with her long hair floating in the water, something seemed faintly noticeable.

His gaze followed. Then, he snapped back to reality.

He closed his eyes and tried to calm himself.

‘This shouldn’t be happening. Is it because of the poison, or is it an illusion?’

Jiang Hao couldn’t figure out what was happening but decided to focus on what was necessary for now. His priority was to drink the September Spring.

At that point, the water stirred.

Jiang Hao was alarmed. He didn’t dare to move from where he stood. Fortunately, Hong Yuye only moved slightly and turned toward him.

She was still asleep.

Jiang Hao was dumbfounded.

The situation made him think of their first encounter.

After a few breaths, he realized he was under the influence of a powerful illusion.

However, not long after, he felt someone’s gaze on him.

When he turned to look at her, he saw Hong Yuye’s brilliant, sharp eyes looking at him.

This was bad…

If he died because of this, he couldn’t accept it. He had made such a petty mistake.

Cold sweat soaked his back, and numerous thoughts flooded his mind. He quickly regained his composure. “I-I only came in to get some tea, Senior.” Hong Yuye turned back to her original position and looked at Jiang Hao

calmly.. “How long have you been here?”
