Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 616  Haven't You Heard Of A Saying?

From the anger and words of the other person, Jiang Hao knew this was someone with a story.

Most likely, they were members of The End of All Things.

If that was true, then The End of All Things on Chaos Stone Island was no longer what it used to be.

Normally, people from The End of All Things were quite fearsome because they would use any means necessary for their ultimate goal.

Dealing with such people was a headache for anyone, but once they started coveting wealth, they weren't as terrifying.

"The End of All Things?" Zhang Long laughed mockingly. "I'm not a member of The End of All Things. I can't get the identity token of The End of All Things because I don't have enough money. The End of All Things only accepts people with spirit stones."

"You are really pitiful." Jiang Hao smiled. "When did The End of All Things come up with so many rules? Have you never seen a true member of The End of All Things?"

"A true member?" Zhang Long sneered. "A true member of The End of All Things sits high and decides the life and death of those below with their words. Aren't they just oppressing us, pushing us down, and mistreating ordinary members?"

"No. That is not The End of All Things." Jiang Hao shook his head.

"Then, what is?" Zhang Long asked.

He was utterly disappointed.

Jiang Hao pointed to himself. "I am. If you haven't seen a true member of The End of All Things, then today is your lucky day."

"You? Who are you?" Zhang Long was puzzled.

At that point, Jing Fengyun understood. "Have you heard of Smiling San Sheng? What you're seeing in front of you is the same person."

"I haven't heard of them," Zhang Long said.

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Hao smiled. "So, do you feel disappointed? Do you want to follow me and see how I can overturn the world you know?"

Zhang Long looked at Jiang Hao in silence for a moment before nodding.

He couldn't read the person in front of him and didn't know if the person was telling the truth or just lying to him.

But he had no choice left.

He might as well take a chance.

Jiang Hao waved his fan and smiled. "Let's go. It just so happens that I need to get the identity token too and see how efficient they are at handling things."

"Senior, the Island Master's mansion has many powerful experts," Jing Fengyun said.

"If you're afraid, you can wait outside when the time comes," said Jiang Hao as he walked ahead.

Jing Fengyun hesitated. Going in was extremely risky.

At the same time, the rewards he would receive would also be a lot. Staying outside might be safer, but the senior might not be wholeheartedly willing when helping him with his cultivation problems later.

Was it worth the risk?

He needed to make a decision.

They arrived at a small building.

"Is this the place?" Jiang Hao looked at the imposing residence behind the small building and couldn't help but marvel at it. "The Island Master here really knows how to enjoy his life."

"The person in charge of the small building is not very strong, but once there's a conflict, the guards in the mansion will take action. Among them, the chief guard has an astonishing cultivation realm and is capable of suppressing both major fights," Jing Fengyun said.

He didn't wait outside but chose to go in together.

After all, he had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. He might never have such an opportunity again.

"Yes. The guards are powerful, and the chief guard is intimidating," Zhang Long said.

Jiang Hao simply nodded and let Zhang Long lead the way.

Zhang Long saw the middle-aged man from before when he entered the small building with the group.

Jiang Hao saw the identity token on the table with the name "Tu Liang."

It was quite an unusual name.

"Why are you here again? I've made it clear that your application is under review. What's the point of coming here again? If you have any issues, go and talk to the Island Master. See if the Island Master will handle it for you," Tu Liang said impatiently.

"I've already seen everything. You sold my token!" Zhang Long shouted angrily.

Tu Liang sneered. "Yours? If you think I've done something wrong, you can report it to Senior Tian Chen or the Island Master, instead of shouting at me. If I really did something wrong, the Island Master or Senior Tian Chen would punish me. I don't need to care about your verdict."

Zhang Long was speechless.

He still couldn't see Senior Tian Chen or the Island Master anywhere. This was just a bureaucratic circle.

Jiang Hao patted Zhang Long on the shoulder. "Since your token is still under review. Let me take the lead for now."

Zhang Long was a bit puzzled but still stepped aside.

Jiang Hao sat down and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. "I'm also a member of The End of All Things. Now, I want an identity token to work on this island."

Tu Liang looked at Jiang Hao. Although he couldn't gauge the other party's cultivation realm, he wasn't intimidated by him either.

"Just because you say you're a member of The End of All Things, that makes you one? This island is full of people claiming to be a member of The End of All Things," said Tu Liang.

"You're right. So, how should I prove it?" Jiang Hao nodded.

"You don't even know how to prove it yourself and claim to be a member of The End of All Things?" Tu Liang sneered.

Jiang Hao was surprised.

He thought the other party would ask him for a code, but it seemed that was not the case.

"You need the passcode," Zhang Long said.

"Oh!" Jiang Hao acknowledged it and then asked Zhang Long to share the passcode.

The reason he had brought Zhang Long over was for this.

He didn't have The End of All Things's passcode.

Zhang Long didn't hesitate even a bit and shared the passcode with him.

Jing Fengyun was stunned. Was it okay to reveal the passcode so openly?

Tu Liang looked at Jiang Hao and said nothing. He then picked up a pen and a piece of paper and asked, "Name?"

"Smiling San Sheng," Jiang Hao said.

"What is your mission on Chaos Stone Island?" Tu Liang asked.

"No mission. Just here to stroll around," Jiang Hao said.

Tu Liang raised an eyebrow at the person in front of him and then put down his pen. "Alright, I've noted it down. This will be under review. If there are no issues, an identity token will be issued."

"How long do I have to wait?" Jiang Hao asked.

"It depends on how long the review takes. Either you wait a few more days or come by daily to inquire," Tu Liang said.

"Isn't that a bit inconvenient?" Jiang Hao asked with a gentle smile.

"If it's inconvenient, report it to the Island Master," Tu Liang said coldly.

"Isn't there any way in which the process can be hastened?" asked Jiang Hao.

"I'm not in charge of this. If you want to improve efficiency, talk to Senior Tian Chen," Tu Liang said.

"Can you help me pass a message to him?" Jiang Hao asked.

"Sorry, I can't. If there's nothing else, you may leave." Tu Liang dismissed them.

"Well..." Jiang Hao's lips curved into a sinister smile. "What use do I have for you, then?"

The fan moved, and the blade appeared.

Boom!

Tu Liang was astonished. The blade cut into his skin.

He was flung against the wall.

His body bore multiple cuts.

Although not fatal, it left him in a sorry state.

Jiang Hao slowly stood up and looked at him. "It seems you all have forgotten what The End of All Things truly is."

"How dare you attack someone in charge of the Chaos Stone Island?" Tu Liang roared.

"Chaos Stone Island? Isn't this the territory of The End of All Things?" Jiang Hao asked.

Then, he shook his head and sighed. "It doesn't matter. Today, let me tell you what kind of person truly embodies the ideals of The End of All Things. Haven't you ever heard of the saying that The End of All Things has no future but only a lingering last wish?"
