“However, I’ll say this. If you behave badly and put us in danger, I’ll be forced to act on my own,” said Liao Yingrong.

The other two followed suit and introduced themselves.

The sturdy man was called Tong Shou’en.

The woman was called Zuo Jing.

Jiang Hao glanced at the three of them. They were very arrogant.

They did not think highly of him either.

It only made them skeptical. That was the way of the world. The weak ones lived in fear of him, while the strong ones showed disdain.

Besides, they all had the same cultivation realm.

Jiang Hao did not care. He walked toward the main hall step by step.

There were many doors in the hall, and no one knew where they led to.

When they entered, they saw that many people were already there.

No one made a move. Instead, they walked toward the palace.

“Do you know the way?” Jiang Hao asked.

“If you want to go to the location of the divine object, you need to enter the third level of the inner region. Of course, our people will take care of it. Although you’re strong, you don’t know what we know. When the time comes, just help black any attacks directed toward us. We will cooperate fully,” Liao Yingrong said.

Jiang Hao nodded.

This was as easy as lifting a finger.

It was a good deal for them and him.

When he found the divine item, many would fight for it. That would not be good.

The palace was bigger than it looked. There were many stone statues there. There were statues of people, dragons, and some other strange races.

“When they fought against the Immortals, many people were there.”

“The heroic spirits in the Human Emperor’s Palace appeared together. In that battle, the Human Emperor was not at his peak, but he still subdued everything. They paid a huge price. The human emperor took away the immortal seed. The fate of the immortals was handed over to the Heavenly Spirit Tribe and us. The stone statues here were carved by our people. They were all experts who had knowledge about many important things,” whispered Zuo Jing in awe.

“Then, what happened? How did your kind get sealed?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.

“After experimenting with various races, one particular person finally took the most important step. When the Human Emperor was heavily injured, the person took his chance. Unfortunately, the Human Emperor was still strong enough to make a move. That person was defeated. Everyone in the Heavenly Spirit Tribe watched as he was drowned in the Endless Deep Sea,” said Zuo Jing softly.

Jiang Hao recalled the words he had seen in the Sea Fog Cave. They had said that someone was at the bottom of the sea.

Perhaps it was related to the Saint Bandits.

“You blame the Heavenly Spirit Tribe?”

Zuo Jing shook her head. “I know it’s strange, but we were never favored by the Heavenly Spirit Tribe. We’re no longer considered a part of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe. We can’t really blame them for that.”

“Why are you telling him that? He doesn’t understand. Not everyone understands our goal. The person who did it is beyond his ability to grasp,” said Liao Yingrong to Zuo Jing.

Jiang Hao didn’t mind and followed them all the way up.

There were mazes, formations, and traps here.

However, it had no effect on them.

Soon, they found the stairs.

“This is not normal,” said Tong Shou’en immediately.

“Yes, someone is one step ahead of us. No one entered earlier than us, so it must be the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.” Liao Yingrong frowned.

“I wonder what cultivation realm they are. If the person is an immortal, we won’t be his match.”

“What about the others?”

“They can’t either,” said Jiang Hao.

The three of them were stunned.

“Why else do you think there are only a few of us?” Jiang Hao smiled.

“They didn’t come in?” Liao Yingrong was shocked.

Jiang Hao smiled but did not say anything.

The three of them looked at each other. If that was really the case, then there was no need to worry. They just had to be careful.

However, just as they were about to go up, Jiang Hao frowned and said, “Be careful about that side.”

The three of them were surprised.

They instinctively looked to the side, and a force tore through the air.

The three of them let their auras out.

Boom!

Three spears were sent flying.

“Who was that?!” Liao Yingrong shouted and was about to chase after him.

“Stop! Let’s just finish what we came here for,” said Jiang Hao.

Liao Yingrong was a little reluctant to listen to him.

He had just noticed the trace. If he did not chase after them now, whoever it was might attack again.

“The mission is more important,” Tong Shou’en said softly.

Only then did the three of them continue forward, but they were much more vigilant than before.

They suspected that it was someone from the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.

Jiang Hao turned to look to the side.

He could sense that there were many figures in the darkness as if they were waiting for them to chase after them.

Their concealment technique was quite effective.

If he did not have the nameless manual, he wouldn’t have noticed it.

The figures had hidden themselves well.

It was difficult to find any trace of them.

It seemed that they only fished for people with good perception.

At the second level, the place below looked different. There were many passages and doors.

Every single one of them required the power of ten thousand people to open.

“If we don’t know the direction, it will take a lot of time just to open the door,” Zuo Jing said.

Jiang Hao nodded. It was indeed much more convenient to bring the Saint Bandits along.

“The place we’re going to is near,” Zuo Jing said.

Jiang Hao observed his surroundings.

The door was huge. Even with three Immortal Ascension Platform experts, it was quite difficult to open it.

Every door was the same, and what they saw after entering was the same.

It was as if they were walking around in a circle.

However, the Saint Bandits did not hesitate at all. They continued forward and opened seven doors.

They arrived at the edge of the battlefield.

“This is the place,” Liao Yingrong said warily.

They had just been attacked, which meant that someone was already one step ahead of them.

Anyone could guess who it was.

There might be another ambush behind those doors.

The three of them discussed for a while then used their powerful strength to quickly break open the door.

As the door opened, they joined forces to attack.

After confirming that there were no problems, they walked in.

Jiang Hao watched everything without making a move.

He would need the Saint Bandits to obtain the item. He just needed to make sure that no one was around to attack them.

The door opened and closed quickly, and the people behind did not follow.

That meant that he had enough time to find the divine item.

As soon as they entered, Jiang Hao heard laughter. “Saint Bandits, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. You’re really here.”

He looked in the direction of the sound.

There was a huge ring in the depths, and there was a lot of starlight floating inside. Inside the ring was a middle-aged man who was illuminated by a golden light. He held an astrolabe and was gathering the power in the sky to press down on the ring.

It seemed to make the starlight more intense.

Jiang Hao looked at the ring and could not help but sigh.

That was the collective talent that was locked inside by the Heaven Lock Technique.

Was this what the Saint Bandit wanted to take away?

If he could make use of it, it would indeed be immensely useful.

However, this Heaven Lock Technique seemed to be a little different from what he had learned.

Perhaps it was an incomplete technique.

“What’s the point?” Liao Yingrong looked at the man who was surrounded by golden light. “You can’t stop us.”

“I feel that it is always right to prevent the enemy from getting what they want.” The middle-aged man sneered.

Liao Yingrong ignored the man and walked to the front of the golden hoop. He tried to steal the starlight.

However, just as his power was about to touch the starlight, light appeared from the middle-aged man’s astrolabe, suppressed the surroundings, and nullified the Saint Bandits’ power.

Boom!

Liao Yingrong’s power was shattered, and he retreated.

“Haha, it’s useless. We are a clan, and your power has long been dispelled by our ancestors. Unless the Saint Bandits swarm this place, you can’t take away anything from here.” The middle-aged man laughed.

He was excited about fighting the Saint Bandits.

“I’ll do it.” Tong Shou’en took a step forward and attacked the middle-aged man.

However, just as he got close, a golden light suddenly bloomed and sent him flying.

“It’s useless. This is a life-protecting magic treasure given to me by the Clan Leader. It’s extremely difficult to break it without ascending to immortality. So as long as I’m here, don’t even think about taking anything from here. I’m willing to bow down to the Saint Bandits, but they aren’t strong enough. Why would you care about what lies here? You are nothing. I alone can stop you,” said the man. “Besides, there are numerous people from the Heavenly Spirit Tribe behind us.”
