There was no need to blame him.

Mu Longyu frowned and began to think. After a long time, he said, “If Hai Luo cooperates fully, it’ll still take thirty years. We can’t do any faster than that.”

The fastest way possible would still mean five years late.

“Someone might be able to help you buy five years’ progress,” said Jiang Hao. He needed to contact the Saint Bandits.

In the gathering, someone should be able to find the more powerful Saint Bandits.

He could also let the Twelve Heavenly Kings look for the Saint Bandits.

“Who would that be?” Mu Longyu asked.

It would be best if the Heavenly Kings could resolve that on their own.

“The Saint Bandits. You can try contacting them,” said Jiang Hao.

Mu Longyu nodded.

“Then… what price should we pay?” asked Mu Longyu after some hesitation.

“Price? Well… some people help for fame, while others do it for money,” said Jiang Hao. “Maybe this person wouldn’t ask for anything at all.”

Mu Longyu understood that the reason why the other party wanted to try was not just to help them, but to become the first person in history to do something like that.

The person knew so much about this situation that they might not cause trouble recklessly.

However, it made people uneasy when someone did not name a price in exchange for offering help.

“Still, it’s necessary to pay something at least,” said Mu Longyu.

“Then, let’s wait till we succeed. That person might probably ask for the price to be paid after he succeeds. Otherwise, it’s just empty promises,” said Jiang Hao.

Mu Longyu felt that the mysterious man did not seem to care much about the Twelve Heavenly Kings.

Perhaps his dreams and ambitions were higher than that.

He just hoped the person would see their value. Otherwise, they might choose someone else.

“I have a request,” Mu Longyu said seriously. “I hope you can help me with Hai Luo’s matter, Fellow Disciple.”

“Of course.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“I also know about your concern. If you need anything, just let me know.” Mu Longyu also mentioned his son.

Jiang Hao did not stand on formalities and asked about Mi Lingyue’s warehouse.

“A blacksmith’s warehouse?” Mu Longyu did not seem surprised. “Fellow Disciple, do you want it?”

“No.” Jiang Hao shook his head. “Someone wants to see it, and they might do something there.”

“No problem. Even if you want the whole of it, you can just tell me,” said Mu Longyu.

“Do the other Heavenly Kings have such warehouses?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Only some of them. The Heavenly Kings aren’t good at everything, so they naturally find something that they are best at,” said Mu Longyu. “I’m the best at forging treasures. But if you want access, I can deal with the other Heavenly Kings.”

He took out a jade pendant and handed it over.

“Fellow Disciple, if you take this and head overseas, you’ll be able to enter Lingyue’s warehouse. The other Heavenly Kings would need to wait for me to inform them about it.”

Jiang Hao accepted it.

After discussing some more things, he got up and walked away.

It was time to tell Hai Luo about the requirements.

He went straight to Heavenly King Hai Luo.

“How have you been lately, Heavenly King Hai Luo?”

“I’m alright.”

Hai Luo forced out a smile.

“There’s something I want to tell you, King Hai Luo,” whispered Jiang Hao.

“What?” Hai Luo gulped nervously. “Go ahead.”

Jiang Hao whispered something softly. Then, he turned around and left.

After Jiang Hao left, Mu Longyu walked to Hai Luo’s cell. “Hai Luo, you should consider becoming an immortal.”

“You’re a Heavenly King who has failed. Where does your confidence come from?” Heavenly King Hai Luo asked disdainfully.

Mu Longyu was not angry. “Just… decide if you are coming with me. It’s better if we sort it out sooner than later. We don’t have much time.”

“Well, in that case, you better free me from this place,” said Hai Luo immediately.

Mu Longyu sighed in relief. Jiang Hao was truly remarkable.

What had he said to Hai Luo? It seemed Hai Luo could not wait to get out of here this time.

Mi Lingyue was also shocked.

Then, she sighed. “It’s over. Hai Luo is about to become an immortal, and we’re still locked up here.”

“Let’s look at it this way… Hai Luo will not get to see his Master like we do,” said the lantern bearer with a smile. “It’ll be he who regrets it. The outside world is not as fascinating as here.”

“You feel that confident?” Yan Shang said disdainfully.

“You must be joking! Don’t you see? Under that Junior Brother’s influence, we. Who used to be at each other’s throats all the time, get along like equals here. There is not much of a difference in our cultivation realms, and where we are from doesn’t set us apart,” said the lantern bearer and smiled. “Finding such a place is rare. I don’t think it’s a bad idea to retire and stay here.”

“Maybe for a loner like you,” said Mi Lingyue.

“That’s not true.” The lantern bearer shook his head. “Zhuang Yuzhen, Hai Luo, the two others who refuse to obey, and I have no one who comes to visit us. You are the only one who has people visiting you, Miss. All the people, except you, are loners here.”

Everyone was speechless.

They did not know what to say.

Zhuang Yuzhen was curious.

“The Twelve Heavenly Kings have a way to become immortals?”

Mi Lingyue had told Mu Longyu about the difficulty of becoming an immortal.

Even Mi Lingyue was shocked.

Old Man Corpse Sea did not believe it at all.

The others did not really care.

“Maybe we can try again,” said Mu Longyu.

This matter was still confidential, and he could not say anything about it here.

He had to go back and discuss with the other Heavenly Kings first.

Of course, he had to discuss it with Hai Luo on the way. According to Mi Lingyue, Hai Luo knew a lot about it already.

It was because he knew too much that he did not have any hopes of becoming an immortal.

Meanwhile, Yinsha was still troubled by the matter of Heavenly King Hai Luo.

Mu Longyu was here, so she felt that this was her chance.

“How should I hint to the Heavenly King to reclaim Hai Luo? It won’t work if I make it too obvious. But if I’m too vague, he might not get the idea at all. Such a headache!”

Sect Master Baizhi had left the matter to her, and the only way to solve it was through King Mu Longyu.

Mu Longyu would not be staying for long. She had to think of a way soon.

Just as she was thinking about it, someone suddenly found her to give her a report.

The person informed her that Mu Longyu wanted to see her.

“See me?” Yinsha did not dare hesitate.

Mu Longyu was not an ordinary person. He would not ask for her under normal circumstances.

As soon as they met, Mu Longyu gave her some information on the Great Thousand God Sect. Yinsha was confused by that.

Then, he stated his intention in reclaiming Hai Luo and freeing him from the Lawless Tower.

‘Huh?! Did my wish get fulfilled without any effort?’

Yinsha thought for a moment and then agreed.

Mu Longyu was surprised. He had thought he would need to try to convince her to free Hai Luo. He was even prepared to pay a high price.

The information about the Great Thousand God Sect was just a casual gift.

He did not expect that to work.

Was Heavenly King Hai Luo that worthless?

No matter what, the deal was done.

Everyone was happy.

Yinsha had been afraid that Mu Longyu might not want Hai Luo back, while Mu Longyu was worried that Yinsha would not let Hai Luo go.

Although there was something strange about all this, no one cared.

As long as things worked out, it was all fine.

Time was short. It was better to become an immortal sooner rather than later.

Three days later, Mu Longyu left the Heavenly Note Sect with Hai Luo.

In the past three days, Mu Longyu had talked a lot to Mi Lingyue. She had also told him about Jiang Hao and his condition.

In addition, his son had already started cultivating the Heavenly Note Hundred Revolutions, which would take him in a new direction.

It was a good thing for everyone.

In the end, Mu Longyu said something very serious to her. If they failed to become immortals, this might be the last time they saw each other. They might end up dead trying to ascend to immortality.

He did not say it explicitly but hinted at it, nonetheless.

Mi Lingyue did not say anything. She just smiled at him and nodded.

She did not know what Jiang Hao had said to Hai Luo for him to agree to leave. But one thing was certain. There was a clear path this time.

She could not stop them.

In the Spirit Herb Garden, Jiang Hao heaved a sigh of relief when he learned that Mu Longyu and Hai Luo had left.

‘The arrangements are in place. Now, all that is lacking are the Saint Bandits.’

The number of Saint Bandits that the Twelve Heavenly Kings knew was not enough to accomplish what they intended. They needed enough Saint Bandits to buy some time for Hai Luo.

He did not have much time left. If Hai Luo backed out in the end, it would be too late for regrets.

In fact, he had thirty years at most, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

Once again, time was running out.

‘Now, I just have to wait for the gathering. After that, I can look for some extraordinary experts at the Immortal Ascension Platform with great fortune.’

A week later, around mid-July, Jiang Hao felt the stone tablet vibrate.

The gathering was scheduled for tonight.
