Chapter 902: How Long Has It Been Since We First Met?

After leaving the forest, Jiang Hao transformed into the appearance of a scholar.

He had turned into Smiling San Sheng.

He held the Thousand Faces Treasure Fan in his hand.

The fan opened. “A Thousand Faces” was written on one side, while the other side read: “Unparalleled in the world.”

Jiang Hao smiled and headed to Devil’s Den.

Along the way, he saw many people engaged in a fight.

Mostly, it was the Heavenly Note Sect fighting against the Heavenly Saint Sect and the Great Thousand God Sect.

Since the fight was in the sect, it gave the Heavenly Note Sect an advantage.

Boom!

At that moment, a person was sent flying.

He just happened to fall in front of Jiang Hao.

It was a woman from the Law Enforcement Hall.

Jiang Hao thought he had seen her before.

“Are you okay?” Jiang Hao asked with a smile.

When she saw him, her eyes narrowed. ‘Smiling San Sheng?!’

There was no record of this person in the planned backup.

How did he appear?

At that moment, a distant rumbling sounded.

“Oh no!” The woman from the Law Enforcement Hall was shocked. She hadn’t followed the plan, and the other party was about to break free.

At that moment, a middle-aged man broke through the encirclement and came straight toward the woman. If he killed her, he could break free.

It was too late.

A blade flashed as she thought about how to get out of this situation.

It was the fifth form of the Heavenly Blade, Dao Inquiry.

The middle-aged man faced the blade head-on and then fell to the ground, unconscious.

The woman was shocked.

She looked at Smile San Sheng.

He was slowly putting away his fan. He walked to the middle-aged man with a smile and took his storage treasure. “Can I have this?”

Everyone there was stunned.

Then, Jiang Hao disappeared on the spot. The woman got up. “That was Smiling San Sheng. We don’t know whether he is an enemy or a friend.”

Meanwhile, Jiang Hao headed to Devil’s Den.

He walked in.

The deeper he went, the more he felt the tremble of the Blood Pool.

When he walked inside Devil’s Den, he realized that this place was unexpectedly calm, unlike the raging fight outside.

After a while, Jiang Hao reached the blood-red path.

He held the fan up and walked along the surface of the Blood Pool.

He stopped when he saw a familiar figure.

At that moment, Gu Jin also sensed Jiang Hao’s arrival. He opened his eyes and smiled. “We meet again.”

He looked at Jiang Hao. “How long has it been since we first met?”

“Senior, are you confused?” Jiang Hao asked back.

“How long has it been since we first met?” Gu Jin asked again.

“Five or six years?” Jiang Hao said after a thought.

He remembered that when he first came here, he was at the early stage of the Return to Void Realm. At that time, he was thirty-three or thirty-four.

“Five or six years ago…” Gu Jin found it unbelievable. “So… you’re only about forty now?”

Jiang Hao smiled but didn’t say anything.

“Hahaha!” Gu Jin suddenly burst into laughter.

He laughed so hard that he slumped over.

“Senior, why are you laughing?” Jiang Hao asked.

Gu Jin held his stomach and took a deep breath. “Have you been to the West? Did you meet the Astronomical Academy?”

“I did. Senior, your name caused me some trouble,” Jiang Hao said.

“Tell me what happened. Maybe I can help you solve your confusion,” Gu Jin said.

“I have something to do first.” Jiang Hao had no intention of chatting.

Gu Jin snapped his fingers.

Many mirror images appeared around him.

There are two groups of people trying to do something.

“The Saint Bandits and the Fallen Immortal Clan are trying to activate the Blood Pool. Did you come for this? Don’t worry. They can’t do anything. Tell me what happened, and I’ll open a path for you to them.”

“They can’t activate it?” Jiang Hao asked calmly.

“Do you really think the Blood Pool is so easy to control?” Gu Jin laughed. “I’m still here. Can they really do as they please with me here? They can’t do anything unless the Fallen Immortal Clan, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, The Heavenly Saint Sect, and the Saint Bandits unite.”

Jiang Hao made a mental note that this senior liked to talk big.

In the future, when he took Gu Jin’s form, he would act the part. It would make his disguise more convincing.

At least, it won’t make people feel that Gu Jin was similar to Smiling San Sheng.

But no matter how similar they were, they were miles away from Jiang Hao. If they were, in any way, similar to Jiang Hao, it would be risky for him.

Looking at the Fallen Immortal Clan, it was evident that they were spread out everywhere.

As for the Saint Bandits, it seemed like they could strike at any moment.

“Do the people of the Fallen Immortal Clan still lack something?” Jiang Hao felt that they were preparing for something big.

“Yes. They need precious blood, which can resonate with the Blood Pool and then trigger the power of the Earth. It seems that the immortal seed is about to bloom.” Gu Jin said.

Jiang Hao looked at Gu Jin and couldn’t help but admire him.

He knew a lot.

After that, he talked about the West and what had happened there.

He mentioned Liu Ying.

“Senior, do you know her?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Not really.” Gu Jin shook his head.

Jiang Hao sighed. He then mentioned the Jade Pendant of Fortune.

“Four pendants?” Gu Jin was puzzled. “You have one… Lou Mantian has one… Who else?”

“The one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment has one,” said Jiang Hao. “And I’m not sure who else…”

He thought of Gui. But it was unlikely Gui had such an ability. There must be someone behind her.

“Any clues?” Gu Jin asked.

“It’s related to the curse…” Jiang Hao said.

“The Longevity Cursed Tree… Gu Changsheng.” Gu Jin sighed. “So, he has appeared. It’s not very likely…”

Jiang Hao was surprised. He had seen the Longevity Cursed Tree before.

“He probably didn’t come out by himself. Someone must have pried into it…” Gu Jin said. “But that’s so difficult. It must be related to his origin… probably a curse. The one who got the last jade pendant… are they proficient in curses? Have they ever peered into the Hundred Nights Curse?”

Jiang Hao was surprised.

The curse of the Shangguan family was the Hundred Nights Curse.

And Gui peeped into it. She had said she almost got discovered last time.

She might have been discovered and targeted.

Jiang Hao was shocked. He didn’t think just a peek into a curse could attract such a terrifying fate.

He needed to be careful.

He looked at Gu Jin and suddenly realized that he had done the same. That was why there had been too many troubles in the West.

“Who won in the end? Lou Mantian?” Gu Jin asked with curiosity.

“He lost,” Jiang Hao said.

“He lost? Then, was it the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment?”

“She also lost.”

“Was it you then?”

“I didn’t get involved.”

“Gu Changsheng’s spokesperson cannot win either. So, who won?”
