Chapter 416: Isn’t This Too Fast?

EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In front of the ruins, Jiang Hao lowered his head and thought about what had happened.

The presence of figures within the Sea Fog Cave was something he hadn’t expected.

He had never heard of such a thing happening anywhere.

Beasts were common, and he knew that the beasts weren’t particularly strong.

But a human…

This was beyond normal.

He didn’t know if this figure had just appeared or had been there before.

If it had been there before, then it wasn’t a big deal.

But if it had just appeared, the possibility of other unexpected surprises was high.

Currently, there didn’t seem to be any issues, but he couldn’t afford to let his guard down.

“Continue pushing forward,” Jiang Hao said while looking at Wu Shi and Ji Bian, who were still in shock.

Only then did the two of them snap out of it and begin working.

This time, they didn’t dare to slack off in any way, and they avoided getting too close to the toxic mist.

The speed of the tentacles was too fast, and they couldn’t keep up at all.

A small mistake could lead to being completely devoured.

Wu Shi wasn’t someone without insight. He could sense just how timely Jiang Hao’s intervention had been.

His strength, action, and timing had been impeccable.

He had a feeling that if it had been any other Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, it wouldn’t have been as easy to rescue Qiao Xiu.

Jiang Hao didn’t make any further discoveries.

He didn’t see any more inscriptions either.

Everything was progressing smoothly.

“Let’s head back. Be here on time tomorrow.”

This time, no one had any complaints. They even breathed a sigh of relief.

Over the next few days, no unexpected incidents occurred.

It was mid-January when Qiao Xiu and the others were waiting at the cave entrance as usual.

“Something strange happened,” Ji Bian said.

“I’ve got something strange to report too,” Qiao Xiu said.

“What strange things?” Wu Shi asked.

Ji Bian quickly said, “Senior Sister Qiao, you go first.”

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Xiu said, “Remember when I said that Senior

Brother Jiang practiced the Blood Wish Path and warned you to be careful?”

“I remember, but you also said he didn’t actually want us to become Blood Wish Path practitioners, right?” Wu Shi asked curiously.

“Yes, that’s right. That’s the strange part.” Qiao Xiu sighed. “I suddenly feel like it’s not a big deal to offer my blood for the path. You may not understand, but the impact of escaping death has deeply affected me.”

Wu Shi and Ji Bian thought about it. It would make anyone feel like returning a favor, but they would probably feel unhappy after a while.

If they were only good enough to be a source of nourishment for others, they might as well die.

“What about you, Junior Brother Ji?” Wu Shi asked.

“I asked some seniors, and they said that our current situation is where they arrived after almost two months, ” Ji Bian said seriously.

Qiao Xiu and the others were stunned.

“Could they be mistaken?” Wu Shi asked.

“No, I asked very clearly. I didn’t believe it at first, so I described our situation in detail. They said this is already near the completion of the mission,” Ji Bian said.

“But we’ve only been on the mission for a little over a month. Moreover, we constantly took a break. Shouldn’t it take four months to complete? How is it possible that it’s already near the end? How did we do it quicker than normal?!” Qiao Xiu exclaimed in surprise.

Before they could continue discussing it further, Jiang Hao arrived.

They had no choice but to follow him into the cave to complete the mission.

Jiang Hao looked around. He felt that they could complete the task today.

As long as nothing went wrong today, they wouldn’t need to return to this place again.

He could also avoid unexpected dangers.

The closer it got to the last day, the more he needed to stay calm.

He didn’t say anything more than usual and didn’t mention that they would complete the mission today.

He treated it like any other day.

When evening arrived, Jiang Hao saw a stone tablet.

He didn’t rush over to it as it was still in the mist.

He waited until the white mist was pushed far enough back before he approached the stone tablet. Three words were written on it: “Heavenly Note Sect.”

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

When he turned around, he suddenly noticed a line of text at the corner of the stone tablet.

It was written in the language of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.

It was unclear who had left it there, but it seemed like it was something intrinsic to the stone tablet.

The meaning of the line was: “Do you want supreme talent? Come find me, and I will grant it to you.”

Jiang Hao ignored it.

He had no intention of exploring it. He simply turned around and led the group away. “Let’s go back.”

He didn’t say it was over. He was worried that someone might be eavesdropping.

Jiang Hao didn’t leave in a hurry either. He did feel that someone was spying on him.

Even so, he didn’t dare to speed up recklessly. They left at a normal pace.

If they sped up, it might appear as if they were afraid, and whoever it was would pursue them.

After safely leaving the Sea Fog Cave, Jiang Hao let out a sigh of relief.

“It’s over.” He looked at Qiao Xiu and the others. “You can go and report the completion of the mission. You don’t need to come here tomorrow.”

With that, he left on his sword.

The three of them stood in place. They were stunned.

They exchanged curious glances.

“We agreed on four months, but I didn’t expect it to end this early,” Qiao Xiu said in disbelief.

Since they had arrived here, everything had progressed at a rate beyond her expectations.

It was too fast. They couldn’t even understand why it had gone this quickly.

Other seniors struggled for two months to complete this task. Their group had taken constant breaks, and they still finished the task earlier than expected.

They had prepared themselves to be mocked, but now, they were the envy of others.

Wu Shi was also shocked. He had heard this morning that the mission would be complete, and now, it was done! He couldn’t believe it.

Ji Bian chuckled. “Did we stumble upon the quickest method? Maybe it’s been simplified.”

Regardless, once they got back, they could use this news to exchange for some spirit stones.

“Oh, I forgot to ask…” Qiao Xiu flew on her sword amidst the surprised gazes of the two. “1 need to ask

In the surprised gazes of these two, Qiao Xiu rose on her sword, saying, “I need to ask Senior Brother whether he wants a blood vow.”

The next day, at the Hundred Flowers Lake, petals gently fell on the lake’s surface.

Whoosh!

There was a rustling sound as numerous petals fell from the flowers.

Hong Yuye stood at the edge of the lake as her red dress swayed in the wind. Hong Yuye watched as the petals fell into the lake. Then, she returned to the pavilion.

After she sat down, a white figure arrived.

“Sect Master,” Baizhi said.

“Speak.” Hong Yuye looked at Baizhi indifferently.

“Today, the people from the Law Enforcement Hall went to inspect the mission at the Sea Fog Cave and found a line of text on the stone tablet,” Baizhi said seriously.

“What’s the content?” Hong Yuye asked.

“It’s a prophecy from the Heavenly Spirit Tribe. Our people don’t understand it very well, but the sentence was translated. It seems to say: “Do you want supreme talent? Come find me, and I will grant it to you.” I’m still trying to find someone to check if the sentence has any other meaning,” said Baizhi.

“Is there anything strange?” Hong Yuye asked.

“The person leading the team this time was Jiang Hao. Apart from completing the mission at an extremely fast pace, there were no other anomalies. However, there must be someone behind Jiang Hao. He might not have noticed that the person behind him could also sense it. Of course, it’s possible that he’s aware but feels that it exceeds his current capabilities. Therefore, to avoid drawing too much attention from us, he chose to conceal it. Our people have started investigating, and there might be some information soon,” Baizhi said seriously..
