Looking at the feedback, Jiang Hao couldn’t help but sigh. The Lawless Tower was truly powerful.

It could suppress all sorts of things.

He wasn’t sure if it could also suppress the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl. Otherwise, it could be offered to the sect.

However, the Heavenly Note Sect loved to fight. If they had such a pearl, they would expand their influence further.

This would make the Spiritual Medicine Garden exceptionally busy, which would not be conducive to his peaceful life.

It was somewhat regrettable.

Jiang Hao contemplated with a lowered brow.

Mu Longyu had noticed that someone was backing him, which wasn’t surprising.

Being on the fifth floor signified that he had certain secrets.

The others from the Lawless Tower should have noticed, but his identity wasn’t an issue.

At least, he wasn’t a traitor.

Although there were suspicions, the Law Enforcement Hall didn’t convict him, so there wasn’t an issue.

Everyone tacitly refrained from asking.

“Do you have any insights on the matter?” Mu Longyu asked.

Mi Lingyue was also expectantly listening.

Jiang Hao didn’t answer but thought intently about it.

During the appraisal, he found that Mi Lingyue was under the control of the Great Thousand God Sect’s spiritual technique.

If she stayed in the Lawless Tower, it might help to understand the technique more.

But…

There were manv factors involved.

The strength of perception determined whether detection could be successful.

At least, it was very difficult for Mi Lingyue herself to perceive it. She had been in the tower for a long time. Yet, she never detected the core of the mental control technique.

It was also possible that she never thought along those lines, but that still signified that it was very difficult.

“Have you ever thought…” Jiang Hao hesitated.

“Please go on,” Mu Longyu said. He looked pleased.

As long as Jiang Hao didn’t refuse outright, there was still hope.

Mi Lingyue also didn’t expect Jiang Hao to know about such things.

“Thought about what?” she asked.

Jiang Hao didn’t want trouble on his hands. Although telling them wouldn’t pose much of an issue, it could easily attract other problems.

And he couldn’t gain much from them.

Perhaps it wasn’t the case that he would gain nothing.

Mi Lingyue was a master in forging, alchemy, formations, and runes.

After careful consideration, he decided to express it indirectly so that he could distance himself from the matter.

“The Lawless Tower is remarkable. We can consider it to find a solution.”

“The Lawless Tower?” Mu Longyu furrowed his brow.

That wasn’t a good place.

When he questioned further, Jiang Hao simply shook his head and refused to say more.

Not long after, he bid farewell and left.

Mu Longyu was even more puzzled.

“The Lawless Tower?” He looked at his wife. ‘What did you feel when you were there before?”

Mi Lingyue thought for a moment. “During my stay, they asked me what I had been doing. I didn’t think much of it then. Could it be that the Lawless Tower can suppress mind control techniques?”

They began to discuss it.

In the tower, not only mind control techniques but also cultivation, perception, sound, and breath were all suppressed or even absorbed.

So, staying in the Lawless Tower could be useful…

“Can one evade such control? Is it even possible to break free from it?” Mu Longyu muttered.

“Although he didn’t explicitly say it, that might be his implication. He was like that on the fifth floor. He never gave a definitive answer… he was always elusive,” said Mi Lingyue.

For a moment, they seemed to have found a new direction.

However, they also felt uncomfortable. They had to enter the Lawless Tower and stay there willingly.

It was similar to Heavenly King Hai Luo’s situation.

They began to suspect if Heavenly King Hai Luo had discovered something, which was why he wanted to stay in the Lawless Tower.

“Is he that clever? It doesn’t seem very likely.” Mi Lingyue refused to believe it.

“There is no rush. We need to think about this carefully,” Mu Longyu said seriously.

The Lawless Tower wasn’t a good place. Entering it meant that one’s cultivation would be disintegrated. This was an unbearable cost.

If it were in their prime, they wouldn’t have made this decision.

Mi Lingyue’s cultivation had been mostly absorbed anyway, so they could consider this option.

Leaving the Lawless Tower, Jiang Hao headed to the Law Enforcement Peak.

He heard Xiao Li’s mission was about to be issued and wanted to pay attention to it.

As for Mi Lingyue and Mu Longyu, he could only go as far. He couldn’t help them further.

What they did next wasn’t his concern.

It would be beneficial if he could join them, but it would have less of an effect on him if he stayed away.

At the foot of the Law Enforcement Peak, Jiang Hao headed to the place where missions were being issued.

Sure enough, there was Xiao Li’s name. “Cliff of Broken Hearts, Jiang Xiao Li.” “Heavenly Joy Pavilion, Duan Yu.” “Flowing Waterfall, Yue You.” “Ice Moon Valley, Zheng Shijiu.”

“Thunder Fire Peak, Xin Yuyue.”

Jiang Hao was stunned. “Such powerful individuals?”

Among the others, Xiao Li’s cultivation realm was the lowest. The highest being that of Senior Brother Zheng Shijiu, who was probably at the Golden Core Realm.

Senior Sisters Xin and Yue should be in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Given the right opportunities, they might have already reached their peak.

As for the Heavenly Joy Pavilion’s disciple, he didn’t know the person.

The mission was supposed to take place at Devil’s Den.

“Weren’t some people just sent there? Why are they going again?”

Usually, once a group was sent to Devil’s Den, that was enough. A repeated mission indicated failure.

Moreover, deploying someone at the Golden Core Realm implied an increase in difficulty at Devil’s Den.

‘Well… following them won’t do any harm…’

Jiang Hao was somewhat worried. It was Xiao Li’s first mission, and problems could arise.

Fortunately, he knew these people, so greeting them would be fine.

Once Xiao Li got used to going out, a little more growth was needed and then, she could be set free.

Although he was eager to set her free, it was better to be cautious.

She was just like Chu Jie, who had finally become ready to venture out into the world, while Chu Chuan stayed put in the sect.

Even so, Jiang Hao wasn’t in a hurry to send Chu Chuan away.

At least, he should reach the Golden Core Realm before leaving the sect.

Jiang Hao hoped that he could venture from the southern part to the eastern part.

By that time, several hundred years would have passed.

No one would be coming back to cause him more trouble.

Several hundred years later, he would have become extremely powerful.

After that, Jiang Hao visited Zheng Shijiu and explained his situation.

“Jiang Xiao Li?” Zheng Shijiu was somewhat surprised. “You know her?” Jiang Hao nodded slightly but didn’t say much.

“Jiang Xiao Li… Surname Jiang?” Zheng Shijiu looked at the person in front of him and felt shocked. “I heard she’s only in her teens. Could she be… your daughter?”

Jiang Hao was speechless.

Senior Brother Zheng’s guess was absurd.

“Hahaha… I’m just kidding. I know Jiang Xiao Li was the girl you recruited into the sect.” Zheng Shijiu laughed. “Initially, we thought she had no talent, but in the blink of an eye, she became a True Disciple. She even advanced to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm so quickly.”

“Xiao Li is a bit reckless. I hope you won’t leave her to her devices,” Jiang Hao said seriously.

“Junior Brother, rest assured. I definitely won’t,” Zheng Shijiu said solemnly.

Before leaving, Jiang Hao left two Rejuvenation Talismans.

Later, he also sought out Senior Sisters Yue You and Xin Yuyue.

Similarly, he hoped they could take care of Xiao Li and left a Rejuvenation Talisman for them.

He even went to find Duan Yu.

However, he only gave him a Healing Talisman.

With that, he hoped everything would be fine.

Two days later, Xiao Li went to meet them with the spirit beast..
