Chapter 508: Deciding Not To Greet Junior Brother To Save Him The Embarrassment

“Senior, what is it?” Zheng Shijiu rushed to Ah Zha’s side.

At this moment, Ah Zha was nibbling on some meat. “Seems like thieving sea monsters.”

“Thieving sea monsters?” Yue You was puzzled.

“We named them that. The Sea Fog Cave doesn’t just have patrolling sea beasts like us. There are other things here. The most annoying ones are the thieving sea monsters. They’re fast, agile, and love to steal things from others. Once they steal, they run, and it’s hard to guard against them. They only steal and attack as a group,” said Ah Zha in disdain.

Xin Yuyue and others felt a bit sympathetic.

Some were spirit beasts, while others were sea monsters.

Indeed, it was believed that whoever named them would suffer bad luck. “How strong are they?” Zheng Shijiu asked the most crucial question.

“Stronger than us, but slower than us,” Ah Zha said.

“Prepare for battle.” Zheng Shijiu instructed everyone to put down what they were doing and prepare for the encounter.

He said, “We don’t have time. Test their strength and if something feels off, go find Junior Brother Jiang.”

Jiang Hao had amazed them by killing the leader before in one strike.

Even if it was a surprise attack, that strike was something none of them could block.

So undoubtedly, Jiang Hao was the strongest among them.

Outside the Sea Fog Cave, Zuo Cheng walked over from the Lawless Tower.

In a few days, he would enter the Sea Fog Cave to assess the situation there.

This was the task assigned by the Lawless Tower. After all, they were the ones most familiar with the Sea Fog Cave.

“Seven locations. They are a bit further away and might take some time,” said the junior respectfully. “The first line under the jurisdiction of Heavenly King Bu Dong. The second point of the second line under Jiang Hao’s jurisdiction from the Cliff of Broken Hearts, and the Heavenly Joy Pavilion…”

Once the locations were confirmed, Zuo Cheng was surprised.

“Junior Brother Jiang is also in there?”

“Do you know him?” The junior was surprised.

“Not really. Just heard about him.” Zuo Cheng didn’t say much but observed the entrance. He waited to enter the cave and check the situation.

The Sea Fog Cave had changed rapidly, and they hadn’t found any suspicious places, which made them concerned.

The lack of suspicion was suspicious in itself.

Senior Sister Yinsha was still missing.

There were no traces of the tentacles they were looking for overseas.

A lot of manpower and resources had been invested here, but there had been no gains so far.

It made many people anxious.

Inside the Sea Fog Cave, under the enclosed walls, Jiang Hao looked at the relatively clean wall and felt strange.

If he continued to wipe a few more times, he would be able to see the truth.

Then, he would know the situation.

However, he gave up and continued to wipe other places.

If he was noticed, he might not be able to continue wiping.

In this month, he had obtained eighteen bubbles here.

On average, each had nine points.

With the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, he only managed to get four points in one month. Even with the Holy Medicine Herb, he only got five. Here, it was almost double the amount.

This place was better.

He wouldn’t go back for a while and would devote himself to the sect mission instead.

However, on this day, he felt a surge of power coming from outside. He checked the area and found no problems. Then, he went back in.

Those attackers weren’t that strong.

However, in the evening, Zheng Shijiu found him and said they had made a discovery outside.

This made Jiang Hao have to put down the cloth.

Outside, he saw everyone sitting on the ground. They looked tired and disheveled.

Although the attackers weren’t strong, they were extremely fast. Nobody enjoyed fighting them.

“Senior Brother Zheng, what did you find?” Jiang Hao asked.

“It’s this.” Zheng Shijiu showed him a creature similar to Ah Zha.

It had tentacles similar to Ah Zha, and it had three eyes.

At this moment, it was holding a round crystal, which displayed various runes. When touched, it emitted a faint light.

“Is it a magic treasure?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Yes. Ah Zha asked them, and they said it was stolen from the depths when no one was around,” Zheng Shijiu said. “Their ability to steal things is quite extraordinary. Junior Brother Jiang, we need to be careful. It seems they can steal from a distance.”

“The depths?” Jiang Hao was quite surprised. “Not our people?”

“It shouldn’t be. Ah Zha said our people haven’t been to that area yet,” Zheng Shijiu said.

‘Sacred Bandits?’

Jiang Hao frowned. This reminded him of the figure he had seen when he first came to this cave.

If they encountered those people, this place would be far more dangerous.

He carefully examined the crystal and found that the runes carried a kind of power, but it was all locked inside.

This thing had no aura. It was difficult to understand.

He appraised it.

[Core Life Bead: One of the 81 Life Beads that Yi Jian laid down. It is connected to Shangguan Hengyu in order to steal the royal family’s fate and the blessing of the earth.]

The information astonished Jiang Hao.

It was evident who Yi Jian was. He was certainly from the Saint Bandits.

As for this Shangguan Hengyu, Jiang Hao wasn’t sure who it was. However, since they were stealing the royal aura and favor, this person must be located in the Imperial City.

In reality, Jiang Hao didn’t care whether the royal blessing was stolen or not. But if they were the Saint Bandits, it did concern him.

The Sacred Bandits had set their eyes on him and were somehow connected to the Heavenly Note Sect.

He couldn’t let the opponent become stronger, no matter how he looked at it, especially since the Heavenly Note Sect had sent so many people in. There might be a traitor among them.

Jiang Hao hesitated. This place didn’t seem safe at all.

The Core Life Bead couldn’t be left here. It would cause trouble.

Jiang Hao looked at Zheng Shijiu. “Senior Brother Zheng, I have to trouble you to make a trip.”

Then, he took the bead from the thieving sea monster’s hands and handed it over to him.

“Take Ah Zha and give this to the seniors outside in charge,” Jiang Hao said.

“Alright.” Zheng Shijiu didn’t hesitate.

After they left, Jiang Hao stood in place for a long time and made sure no one was following them.

Unlike the others, he could roughly perceive everything in the surroundings using the knowledge from the nameless manual.

After half a day, when he saw Zheng Shijiu return, Jiang Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He continued to go back and wipe the wall.

It was expected that people from outside would come in soon to investigate the matter.

He didn’t know if he would still be allowed to stay here and wipe the walls. It would be such a loss if he had to leave.

When he returned to the wall, he found that the cloth he had left behind was missing. It had been stolen.

The next day, Zuo Cheng arrived at the place.

He was surprised as soon as he came in. The people here were actually mining.

It was no wonder no one wanted to go back and rest.

But he didn’t ask about it. After all, these people had made great contributions, and they could do as they pleased.

“Where is Jiang Hao?” Zuo Cheng asked the people around him.

“Senior Brother, your arrival was too sudden. We didn’t have time to inform Junior Brother Jiang. He should be over there by the wall,” Zheng Shijiu said awkwardly.

Indeed, it was too sudden. They didn’t know someone was coming until they had already arrived.

“I’ll go take a look,” Zuo Cheng said.

This time, Jiang Hao, as the manager, had made a considerable contribution.

However, just as Zuo Cheng walked inside, he saw Jiang Hao diligently wiping the wall clean. ‘What’s going on?’

“Junior Brother Jiang is here wiping the walls. He must have found something here,” Zheng Shijiu said.

Zuo Cheng was a considerate person who paid attention to people’s words.

He decided to go about his own affairs to avoid embarrassing the people here and Jiang Hao.

Then, he left. He had to go back and report to Elder Baizhi..
