This time, the impact of the Sea Fog Cave was not small.

Jiang Hao also felt that he had done a lot of things, and now Liu Xingchen was coming over. It didn’t seem like there would be any good news.

“Junior Brother Jiang…” Liu Xingchen looked at the person in front of him, hesitated, and finally sighed. “Junior Brother Jiang, do you feel uneasy when you do nothing?”

Jiang Hao was puzzled.

“Currently, your achievements are ranked first. I feel that even after the crisis in the Sea Fog Cave is over, your achievements will still remain in the first place.” Liu Xingchen sighed. “If that’s the case, then you might be taken out of the Law Enforcement Hall’s suspect list.”

Jiang Hao was surprised.

He recalled his days in the Sea Fog Cave, and in an instant, he thought of Heaven Lock.

Heaven Lock is extremely unique. He was still waiting for Elder Baizhi’s sealing order, and he had some worries that he might be in danger.

Heaven Lock should be known to as few people as possible. So, he wouldn’t talk about it publicly.

Now he is directly lying on the merit list, isn’t that telling others blatantly that he has made a major gain?

And won’t the members of the Holy Thief who know about Heaven Lock target him immediately?

Even if it was not Heaven Lock, his first contribution in the Sea Fog Cave was that he had disrupted the Saint Bandits’ plans.

Before, he thought that the Saint Bandits would target him, but now, in this way, he would definitely be resented.

His achievements weren’t of importance. What worried him was that he was going to be taken out of the suspect list.

“That was just an accident,” Jiang Hao said helplessly.

He also mentioned the matter of the Life Core Bead.

Liu Xingchen thought for a moment. “Junior Brother, you can consider it seriously. Currently, there are not many people targeting you in the sect. Once you are off the list, you will become a True Disciple. After that, not many people will dare to target you, especially since the Heavenly Joy Pavilion seems to have settled their matter.”

“Is there a way by which I can remain on the list?” Jiang Hao. “We are paying close attention to the matter, especially the Task Hall.” Jiang Hao was speechless.

If he was taken off the list, the Task Hall wouldn’t be able to earn spirit stones from him. It was natural for them to pay attention to this.

The two walked on the road, and Jiang Hao thought of a solution.

His achievements are too high. If there are no accidents, the Law Enforcement Hall won’t be able to handle the pressure.

It seemed impossible to keep him on the list.

He really didn’t have the intention of making great contributions. Who could have known that Elder Baizhi would give him such great credit?

If someone understood the text on Heaven Lock, they would know how terrifying the thing is.

“By the way, we recently found someone at the Cliff of Broken Hearts,” Liu Xingchen said. “We have been watching this person for a long time, and it seems that he wants to leave. But he knows that he is being watched and is still contacting people. Maybe he’s looking for a scapegoat. But this person has been guarding the mountain lately and hasn’t been in contact with anyone.”

Liu Xingchen seemed to think of something. “Oh, I heard that you killed a Golden Core Realm cultivator in the Sea Fog Cave. Although it was someone from overseas, we are currently cooperating with overseas forces. Your actions may be seen as damaging the alliance between the two sides.”

Jiang Hao looked at Liu Xingchen and understood his implication.

The crime of threatening the alliance is not really that big. He still needed to be associated with traitors and spies to be considered suspicious.

Currently, the known undercover agents were Liu Xingchen, Senior Sister Ming Yi, and Senior Sister Hua Le.

Unfortunately, these three were not suitable for his plan. So, the only option was the one mentioned by Liu Xingchen.

He just didn’t know if it would be considered serious enough.

Regardless, he had to try.

Guarding the mountain was also a sect mission that usually lasted for several years.

He just didn’t know which sect the undercover agent was from.

After bidding farewell to Liu Xingchen, Jiang Hao headed away in regret.

The three remnant souls had disappeared. He didn’t know what had happened to them.

Perhaps they already disappeared, or maybe are biding their time.

But in a few years, Liu Xingchen may step into the Soul Ascension Realm, which was surprisingly fast.

Jiang Hao went straight to the Heavenly Note Sect’s gate in the mountain.

There were four people standing there, and each of them had a Golden Core Realm cultivation.

Among the four people, one of them might be the person mentioned by Liu Xingchen.

‘No one is hiding their cultivation realm, and there are no issues with their auras.’ Jiang Hao observed them for a moment but couldn’t determine who was the most suspicious.

There were two men and two women.

They were sitting cross-legged on the ground and seemed to be meditating and cultivating.

‘Two of them are cultivating, and the other two are paying attention to their surroundings.’

‘The ones cultivating have stable auras which represent a calm state of mind.

Those two might not be the spies mentioned by Liu Xingchen.’

After that, Jiang Hao looked at the two women who were standing nearby.

One was at the late Golden Core Realm, and the other was at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.

He didn’t know which of the two was the person from the Cliff of Broken Hearts, so he could only use his ability to appraise them. He first appraised the one in the late Golden Core Realm.

She was from the Law Enforcement Hall.

‘Not her, then it must be…’ Jiang Hao turned to the woman in the middle of the Golden Core Realm.

She was wearing a dark red gown.

‘Could it be her?’

Jiang Hao couldn’t be sure, so he would have to wait until tomorrow.

If it was her, he had to make contact with her as soon as possible.

He had to cement his stay on the suspect list before the situation in the Sea Fog Cave stabilized.

Back at the Cliff of Broken Hearts, Jiang Hao saw Xiao Li sitting in front of the Spirit Herb Garden. She looked angry.

Cheng Chou walked over with a box of pastries.

“Senior Brother Jiang?” He was very surprised.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Hao asked. “Who made her unhappy?”

“It’s because of this.” Cheng Chou handed the pastries to Jiang Hao. “Junior Sister Xiao Li said she prepared a box of pastries for you, but you didn’t return for a long time, and she couldn’t resist and ate them all. She is upset at herself.”

Jiang Hao chuckled and approached her.

When he got closer, he handed a pastry to her. “Want some?”

Xiao Li instinctively bit into it and realized it was Jiang Hao who had given it to her.

“Senior… Senior Brother Jiang.”

“Are you upset?”

Xiao Li immediately shook her head. “No. I was just lost in thought.”

“Is that so?” Jiang Hao didn’t press further. He handed her the pastries. “Cheng Chou bought them for you.”

After eating the pastries, Xiao Li became excited and completely forgot about why she was upset.

“Where is the soirit beast?” Tiang Hao asked.

It should have come back by now.

“It probably went to find Junior Brother Lin. A lot happened this time he went back, and Junior Brother Lin took quite a hit,” Cheng Chou said.

That was bound to happen. Two people of the same age at the Foundation Establishment Realm, while one was still at the Lifeblood Refinement Realm…

“What happened?” Jiang Hao asked.

“When he went back, the old lady who was helping to keep Lin Zhi’s house clean passed away. She couldn’t make it through. She froze to death. At that time, he said if his cultivation was a bit higher, he could have used the techniques to save her.. He could use the technique at the right time…”
