Chapter 651: Chapter 349: Is This How You Roam the Jianghu?

It was indeed just them.

After all, the Ling Hua Immortal Spirit only knew it was in her hands, completely unaware that it was in Ji Hao’s possession.

Pausing for a moment, Jiang Man reminded her, "The news about the Immortal Dao Coordinate will spread in a few years. If you want to make contact, you’d better do it early."

Fairy Liuchu nodded. She naturally knew this. She then asked, "One last question. Why are you looking for the Supreme Heart Hall?"

Hearing this, Jiang Man looked at her. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, but he didn’t answer. He simply said, "You will know very soon."

With the conversation concluded, Jiang Man vanished from the spot.

Tantai Xue, meanwhile, exited the ruins.

When she materialized in her room, the night breeze poured in through the half-open window, blowing the few pages of paper on the desk and making them go RUSTLE, RUSTLE. She walked over to close the window, sat down at the table, and sighed with deep emotion. "Playing riddles at such a young age."

"What did he say?" Tantai Xiaotian’s voice echoed in Tantai Xue’s mind.

"He said I’d soon know why he’s looking for the Supreme Heart Hall. How would I know? Unless I hear news that he went and reported the place?" Tantai Xue shook her head helplessly. "This Jiang Man is really arrogant and pretentious, yet his Talent is absurdly high."

"How does he compare to you?" Tantai Xiaotian asked.

"It’s hard to say, but when I was his age, I hadn’t successfully cultivated the Nine-star Series," Tantai Xue replied truthfully.

"Do you think it’s possible that he really is that person’s Dao companion?" Tantai Xiaotian asked.

"If he really is, what then?"

"I don’t know, but a storm is definitely coming. The Immortal Dao Coordinate has appeared, the Immeasurable Calamity Stone has broken its seal, the Demon Race has escaped their blockade, and the Sun and Moon Immortal Path is making frequent moves. No matter how you look at it, this is not a peaceful time. Logically, a new era should have a long period of stability, but it seems there won’t be any peace for now."

"So, you’re saying the world shouldn’t be like this?"

"..."

Jiang Man woke up in his residence.

He had already read the contents of the envelope, which were extremely simple. It listed three locations. These three locations all shared one characteristic: their true appearances could not be pried into, and they possessed some bizarre phenomena. For instance, Heavenly Secrets could not be probed, or the emotions and desires of anyone who drew near would undergo changes. The Supreme Heart Hall. The Heart Spirit governed the emotions and desires. Such changes might be related to the Heart Hall. This was the answer Fairy Liuchu had provided.

Jiang Man immediately informed the Old Yellow Ox.

"It’s certainly possible, but all three of these places are extremely far away. How will you get there?" the Old Yellow Ox asked.

Jiang Man shook his head, the curve of his mouth slowly rising into a smile. "I never planned on going there by myself. Besides, it would be a huge waste to keep such great news all to myself."

The Old Yellow Ox stopped eating grass and looked up at Jiang Man. "What are you planning?"

"The Zhenyue Bureau is also looking for this information, right?" Jiang Man said with a smile, then began counting on his fingers. "As a member of the Zhenyue Bureau, it wouldn’t be too much to ask for some Spiritual Source for submitting this information, right? Also, I’ve thoroughly researched the Array Evil God’s Arrays. Once the Zhenyue Bureau figures out the general situation and assigns me a mission to go there, it will be perfectly reasonable, right?

"This way, I get the reward for submitting the information, as well as the compensation for completing the mission.

"More importantly, it will accomplish the crucial task of the Licheng Immortal Dojo.

"This Fairy Liuchu is truly my benefactor."

The Old Yellow Ox stared at Jiang Man in silence before finally lowering his head to slowly graze.

Jiang Man did not hesitate; he submitted the information at the very first opportunity. The Zhenyue Bureau was greatly surprised by his report. First it was the stone containing the Supreme Skill, then the general whereabouts of the Array Evil God, and now news about the Supreme Heart Hall. Was he here to farm merits and grab some Spiritual Source along the way?

Ren Qian, who hadn’t been back long, sighed with deep emotion. "Jiang Man, do you hold a grudge against her?"

Jiang Man wore a faint smile. He thought, "I really do have a grudge against her. She has a history with my wife. I can only take the thing she has her eyes on for the Licheng Immortal Dojo. She’ll just have to suffer a bit. Besides, since I took the Supreme Skill she was after, she’d definitely come looking for trouble anyway. It’s better to strike first."

"Will the Zhenyue Bureau go and verify this?" Jiang Man asked.

"Naturally. And the people from the Immortal Sect should still have some time; they might go verify it as well," Ren Qian said.

Jiang Man immediately replied, "I have conducted a certain level of research on her Arrays. Perhaps I can catch them off guard."

Ren Qian paused, staring at Jiang Man for a long time before asking, "You want to take the mission?"

"As a member of the Sect..." Jiang Man hadn’t even finished speaking before Ren Qian raised a hand to interrupt him.

He spoke slowly, "I understand. However, you need to be absolutely clear about the dangers involved. I originally thought you wouldn’t want to go. It’s good that you do."

Jiang Man was indeed a peerless genius, and he was very good at grasping the main point. Furthermore, he was someone the Wuyou Evil God harbored a grudge against. If he went, it would be easy to draw the other party out, but it would be extremely dangerous. The Zhenyue Bureau had also thought Jiang Man wouldn’t go and was still trying to figure out how to persuade him. They never expected him to volunteer so willingly.

Jiang Man paused and said, "Then isn’t the compensation a bit low?"

Ren Qian’s answer was that it wouldn’t be. But Jiang Man thought, "Who would pay a high price if they could get away with a low one? Indeed, talking too much leads to losses." He didn’t mind too much, though. After all, he definitely had to go. If the Zhenyue Bureau hadn’t come looking for him, that would have been a real problem. Everything would have fallen short at the final hurdle.

At Ji Linglong’s residence.

Looking at the two people who had returned, she didn’t know what to say for a moment. During this period, she had been cultivating diligently and had finally advanced to Primordial Spirit Perfection. However, she was still living in the shadow of Jiang Man’s strike from back then. Only after reaching Primordial Spirit Perfection did she realize just how utterly despairing Bai Ming must have felt at that time. She could also understand why he had feigned unconsciousness to escape—Jiang Man had simply crushed a Grand Technique relying on nothing but his own strength.
