Chapter 976: Why Are You Looking At Me?

A river flowed into the sea by the side of the street.

The banks of the river were paved with pebbles. They formed into two paths.

There were pavilions everywhere.

“These are so good. I should buy another one,” Tang Ya said while eating the sesame seed cake in the pavilion.

Mr. Tao handed her the sesame seed cake that he had not eaten yet.

She did not refuse.

Jiang Hao felt that they were close.

He looked at Little Wang, tore off some sesame seed cakes, and tossed it to the creature.

“Woof!”

Little Wang was delighted.

“Fellow Disciple, your pet is quite extraordinary,” Mister Tao said.

The pet seemed to have a twisted aura. It was a bit troublesome.

“Someone gave it to me,” Jiang Hao said with a smile.

It was indeed a gift from Madam Gong.

However, he had given it to Xiao Li. Xiao Li liked Little Wang very much, especially because it didn’t snatch her food.

She just fed it plants and flowers.

“We’re here to look for you,” said Tang Ya as she finished the cake. “We want to make a deal with you.”

Jiang Hao wasn’t surprised. Mr. Tao laughed.

The two of them had made a deal once before.

Since he had used Tang Ya’s bell, she must have known about his arrival.

It was normal for her to find him.

He had not expected her to come looking for him.

He remembered that Tang Ya didn’t like to talk in riddles.

He didn’t like it either, but it wasn’t easy to establish Jing’s image any other way.

It was less mysterious when he said things as they were. It made everything sound dull and ordinary.

“Are you going to the Dragon Cave?” Tang Ya asked.

Jiang Hao nodded. “Do you have any information?”

“Yes, but which one do you want?” Tang Ya asked. “Do you want to know about the people involved or the situation inside? Or… who is the safest to go in with?”

“Who is the safest person to go in with?” Jiang Hao was curious.

“Two people,” said Tang Ya. “Either someone from The End of All Things or someone from the Saint Bandits. It is said that these people have a certain ability to avoid the traps of the Great Thousand God Sect.”

Jiang Hao nodded.

Then, he asked. “Then, who are the people who are planning to go in?”

“You’re not sincere,” said Tang Ya and reached out her hand. “Five thousand spirit stones for one question. You already asked one.”

Jiang Hao was speechless.

He had asked the question before she laid out such terms. But they did have accurate information.

After paying 10,000, Jiang Hao got the answer to his second question.

“The Twelve Heavenly Kings won’t go, but the others will. Most will be in the Immortal Ascension Platform. There are some who you need to look out for. One of them is Gu Zhen from The End of All Things. Another one is Dong Dingyue of the Three Rivers Race. Also, Nangong Wan of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe. These three people are in the Immortal Ascension Platform. The reason why you need to be careful is that there is a force supporting them from behind. There are many other experts too. I have detailed them all in this book. You can take a look.” Tang Ya handed over a book.

Jiang Hao was a little surprised. It was surprising to find so much information.

Paying five thousand for information was not a waste when it came to Tang Ya.

“Even though they know it is a trap, there are still quite a number of people who want to go in.” Jiang Hao laughed.

“That’s right. They all think that they are the chosen ones, and that fate is on their side. It also means that those who enter are either fools or extremely powerful people,” Tang Ya said.

Jiang Hao nodded. That made sense.

Many people already knew about the Great Thousand God Sect’s trap.

If he still went in, he naturally would be someone who had some trick up his sleeve.

After flipping through the book for a while, he realized that there were people from the Great Thousand God Sect detailed there.

“Saw the Great Thousand God Sect in there?” Tang Ya asked. “The Great Thousand God Sect is huge. Not everyone knows about the trap. It is normal for some to enter. They might not know that it is a trap or might have arranged something beforehand. In short, the people of the Great Thousand God Sect might be monitored. This might be part of the plan.”

Jiang Hao understood. He put away the book. “Only primordial spirits can enter the Dragon Cave. Won’t these people be exposed?”

“Fellow Disciple, there’s no need to worry,” said Zhu Shen and smiled.

“There are countless spatial cracks around the Dragon Cave. It is said that once someone enters, the spatial cracks will be sealed. As long as the people in the spatial cracks do not fight with each other, it will be difficult for outsiders to approach.”

‘A crack?’ Jiang Hao’s cultivation realm wasn’t bad, but he didn’t understand what was going on in the Dragon Cave.

He didn’t ask further, but he wasn’t in a hurry to leave.

After all, he hadn’t bought anything for Hong Yuye yet. He asked them if they knew any place that sold delicious food.

Mr. Tao knew a lot of places. He recommended a few off the top of his head.

Tang Ya also knew a lot of places, but she was not interested in talking.

Instead, she held a wooden bead and studied it.

It seemed like she was trying to open it.

Jiang Hao glanced at the wooden bead and noticed that there were some runes on it.

It was similar to the inheritance rune that Senior Sister Leng had given him previously.

“This is a gift from the Twelve Heavenly Kings. It’s said that there’s a treasure inside, but I haven’t been able to open it,” Mr. Tao said.

Jiang Hao chuckled and didn’t pay much attention to it.

After that, he asked some questions about the place and got up to leave. It was getting late.

Before he left, he kindly reminded Tang Ya of something. “You can try drawing a Ten Thousand Swords Talisman on it.”

Then, Jiang Hao smiled and left.

Tang Ya was confused, but she drew a Ten Thousand Swords Talisman on the bead.

The moment the talisman was complete, the wooden bead floated up and emitted a bright light.

Tang Ya was stunned.

Never in her life would she have thought of using that talisman.

Jiang Hao had not known about it either. He had just appraised it to find out.

The Dragon Cave would open in about five days. He had to prepare.

Of course, he had to buy some food first.

Under the setting sun, Jiang Hao walked by the river. The light cast a long shadow, and the big black and white dog followed behind him.

Occasionally, it would eat the weeds by the river.

When it saw other dogs pee, it peed as well.

When it saw other dogs eating poop, it looked at Jiang Hao.

‘Why are you looking at me?’ Jiang Hao was speechless.

He obviously did not let it eat shit.

In the South, Bi Zhu knelt in front of her ancestors’ graves and paid her respects in the Imperial City.

In order to enter the ancestral hall, she begged her eldest brother for his permission.

Only then did he let her in.

As a princess without any status, it was not easy to enter this place.

Luckily, her elder brother still doted on her.

He helped her whenever she needed it.

“Ancestors, please bless us. It wasn’t easy for the imperial family to produce a genius like me. However, geniuses also need love. I’m still young… I’m just eighteen years old. I can’t go through too many adversities. I hope that you, my ancestors, can help me with it. I know I haven’t always been very devoted to my family, but I still rely on you, my ancestors.”

Bi Zhu bowed and prayed.

When she finished her prayer, the ground suddenly shook.

Half of the ancestral tablets fell to the ground.

Bi Zhu was dumbfounded.

She muttered to herself. “It’s okay. It’s okay. There are still half of the ancestral tablets left. It’s enough if a few of them support me.”

Boom!

A huge explosion sounded outside, and the earth shook.

The last half of the tablets fell.

Bi Zhu was speechless.
