“Still no leads after all these days?”

In a courtyard on the Thunder Fire Peak, Wan Yanfeng expressed some surprise.

Yu Wenjing didn’t say anything. He had already said everything he needed to. Even if they were to recover the spirit beast, it wouldn’t be the most significant gain for him at the moment.

But it didn’t matter. Strength was what mattered, and getting a piece of the pie here was enough.

Many experiences had taught him one thing: to know when to yield.

When strength was inadequate, one might even have to abandon one’s interests.

Greed could lead to death.

“Yes, but recently I found a Senior Brother who often transports spirit beasts. I find him very suspicious,” said a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

“Who?” Wan Yanfeng asked. “Ice Moon Valleys wu Yong.”

“Where is he?”

“Haven’t seen him recently. I’m sure he escaped with the spirit beast. I saw him leaving with a securely locked box containing a spirit beast not long ago. I was planning to ask him about it, but a Senior Brother guarding the mountain gate went to check it first.”

“And what happened?”

“That senior brother let him go and stopped us. I find it very suspicious.” “He stopped you?” Wan Yanfeng furrowed his brow. “Which Senior Brother was

“The one closest to the bottom. It should be Senior Brother Jiang Hao.”

Wan Yanfeng fell silent. Finally, he said, “First investigate this Wu Yong. Then, send people to look for his whereabouts outside.”

He didn’t completely believe these reports.

They were probably exaggerated because there was no progress.

However, it was a little suspicious.

In the absence of any clues, it was worth investigating a bit.

After the others left, Wan Yanfeng looked at Yu Wenjing. “Are you sure about it,

Junior Brother Yu? Can the secret of the fish people cause a stir overseas?”

“Yes, I can confirm that. This is what we happened to know, and there was also a senior who guided us. He intends to cooperate with us. He should be coming in a few days. You can go and ask him,” Yu Wenjing said seriously.

“Very well. If I gain something from this, I won’t treat you unfairly,” Wan Yanfeng said.

“Thank you, Senior Brother,” Yu Wenjing said gratefully.

He indeed felt it was enough.

This was a True Disciple, and there was no harm in establishing a good relationship with him.

Moreover, the matter was too significant and might not be something he could control alone.

At midnight, after making all the necessary preparations, Jiang Hao entered the gathering.

This time, the gathering would discuss the Sea Fog Cave and the matters related to the royal family.

Apart from these, there was another matter that caught his attention.

It was about Feng Hua, whom he had mentioned to Senior Dan Yuan before. This time, he might get some leads.

Upon entering the gathering, Jiang Hao saw Gui and the others.

It was apparent that her mood was good.

The aura of Liu and Xing was calm like always.

Only Gui looked excited today.

“Is there any problem with your cultivation?” Senior Dan Yuan asked.

No one spoke.

So, Senior Dan Yuan began asking about the tasks.

First, he inquired about the Heaven Lock Technique.

Xing and Liu had little knowledge about it.

But Gui suddenly spoke up. “The Heaven Lock Technique might be in the Heavenly Note Sect.”

This surprised everyone.

It was the Heavenly Note Sect yet again.

It seemed like everything was somehow related to the Heavenly Note Sect.

“Why would it be in the Heavenly Note Sect?” Liu was curious.

“I heard it by chance from a member of the Saint Bandits,” Gui said. “They said that the Heaven Lock Technique appeared and almost interfered with their plans with the other side. The “other side” in question is the Heavenly Note Sect’s Sea Fog Cave. Later, I asked someone for more information and heard that there was a golden light. So, there is a possibility it’s Heaven Lock.” Jiang Hao remained silent.

The fact that Heaven Lock had appeared in the Heavenly Note Sect was something that couldn’t be hidden.

But no one knew who possessed the Heaven Lock Technique right now.

However, once it was known that it was in the Heavenly Note Sect, someone would definitely find Elder Baizhi.

But that wasn’t the most dangerous part. The danger would come when the Haven Lock technique was discovered.

It seemed like Gui and the others didn’t know about the Heaven Lock Technique yet.

If this technique were to become known, the Heavenly Note Sect would easily become the target of many.

“Do the Saint Bandits know what’s inside?” Senior Dan Yuan asked.

“They probably don’t know. They didn’t mention anything about the content. From their words, I could sense that Heaven Lock held a high position among them, and the contents couldn’t be viewed.” Gui hesitated. “What I’m saying next is my speculation and might not be correct.”

“These pieces of information can earn quite a reward,” Senior Dan Yuan said with a smile.

“I want to put it aside and combine it later in exchange for a Snow God Pill,” said Gui.

“That works too.” Senior Dan Yuan nodded.

The statement made Jiang Hao realize that Senior Dan Yuan had Snow God Pills.

From some clues, it could be seen that Senior Dan Yuan took on tasks from others and then announced them during the gathering.

It wasn’t every time that one could receive Snow God Pills, but Senior Dan Yuan could promise and deliver them each time. Senior Dan Yuan looked at Jiang Hao. “I have the information you need.” At that moment, a stone tablet appeared.

Senior Dan Yuan said, “Feng Hua belongs to the top three thousand members of the Great Thousand God Sect, and he is one of the secret agents. His duty is to find potential collaborators from among certain people, thus expanding the influence of the Great Thousand God Sect and helping with commissions from various parties. Currently, he is in the southern region, and there are several ways to contact him. Young friend, you can decide after looking at all the information.”

Jiang Hao placed his hand on the stone tablet and soon received the information.

“His cultivation realm is not very clear, but he is definitely not weak. You will have to judge that yourself,” Senior Dan Yuan said. “The last time he made a move, he fought and defeated a Return to Void Realm cultivator.” “Thank you, Senior.” Jiang Hao nodded.

With this information, he could try to complete Hong Yuye’s mission and attempt to find the person behind the stone tablet.

After Senior Dan Yuan finished, Gui looked at everyone. “Do you have any tasks? I’m in good shape lately, with a lot of time on my hands.”

“I’m beginning the final step. Everything is ready, and there’s nothing I need for now,” said Liu.

“I don’t have anything for now either, ” Xing said. Finally, Gui looked at Jiang Hao.

He remained silent. He rarely initiated trades.

“Then let’s talk about the local matters. On the day of the royal family’s wedding ceremony, a great battle broke out. The Saint Bandits thought they were invincible, but they were eventually suppressed by the royal family and an unknown individual. Even so, the Saint Bandits still tried to forcibly seize the luck. The battle lasted for several months and was extremely intense. The unexpected event that truly ended the battle was that someone accidentally broke into the Imperial City and disrupted the balance. The Saint Bandits were defeated because of this,” Gui said somewhat regretfully. “By the time I arrived, that person had already disappeared. But just the remnants of his aura were exceptionally powerful. ”

She turned to look at Jiang Hao.

“It wasn’t me, ” Jiang Hao said. He knew what she was thinking.

“Something happened overseas too,” Liu said. “I don’t know what exactly, but a gust of wind swept through various parts of the sea. Some say they saw the Heart of the Ancestral Dragon. The one who knows its whereabouts is an ordinary spirit beast. Now, in the entire overseas region, very few people who are aware are searching the entire sea for this spirit beast. Finding it might mean obtaining the Heart of the Ancestral Dragon..”
