The people watching were shocked at all the blood on the deck.

The old man who had lost an arm was even more terrified.

The girl behind him was also afraid.

After hesitating for a long time, the old man finally said, “S-Senior, you shouldn’t have killed her. She’s…”

“Shh!” Jiang Hao put his finger to his lips.

“Don’t tell me who she is. I simply don’t care.”

The words shocked everyone.

They weren’t shocked by his name but by his words.

He didn’t care who she was, but he had killed her.

They had never seen such arrogance before.

Nangong Yue looked at Smiling San Sheng.

She had never seen such a crazy person before.

He was reckless and unpredictable.

Such people were not to be trifled with.

It was no wonder he dared to ask her if she was a Saint Bandit.

‘Smiling San Sheng…’

She didn’t know much about him, but she remembered where she had heard his name before.

For a moment, she was curious. If such a person was taken to the Lawless Tower, would he be stronger than Hai Luo?

Nangong Yue shook her head at the thought.

However, King Hai Luo couldn’t get out. If he did, who knew what he would do?

Would he act like he did on the fifth floor of the tower, or would he try not to stir up trouble?

“He is in trouble now,” the old woman said.

“Why? Was she someone powerful?” Nangong Yue asked.

“No, it’s because the ship doesn’t allow killing,” said the old woman as she looked at Smiling San Sheng. “He just killed three people in an instant. He won’t be allowed to stay abroad unless he wants to create trouble with the owners of the ship.”

Jiang Hao also felt a powerful pressure. He felt the gaze of that old woman.

The guardians of the ship might be arriving at the scene soon too.

Sure enough, footsteps came from the cabin.

A middle-aged man with a powerful aura walked out.

The deep sea seemed to be surging behind him.

The moment he saw the person, Jiang Hao knew that this person’s strength was connected to the sea.

The deep sea was definitely his home ground.

He was at the peak of the Immortal Ascension Platform.

He was in the same realm as Jiang Hao.

He couldn’t help but sigh.

Wasn’t it a waste for such a powerful person to be on the ship?

“Smiling San Sheng?” said the middle-aged man.

“That’s me.” Jiang Hao opened his folding fan.

“You can’t kill someone on this ship. It’s one of the rules,” the middle-aged man said.

“Fellow Disciple, you must be joking. I saw no written rules when I boarded the ship,” said Jiang Hao.

The middle-aged man lowered his head and smiled. “Well… now you know.”

After saying that, the middle-aged man turned around and walked into the cabin.

It meant that he wouldn’t let it go the next time.

Jiang Hao was a little surprised. He had thought that he would be made to get off at the very least. He did not expect the other party to just let it be.

Jiang Hao was surprised. The others were shocked too.

Many powerful people had done the same, and they had been dealt with.

Why had the captain just let it go?

Jiang Hao returned to Hong Yuye’s side only to see her staring at him.

“Is there something on my face, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked softly.

“Were you pretending just now?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Senior, you already know the answer. I’m the least arrogant person. But Smiling San Sheng is the complete opposite. I have no choice but to keep up the pretense.”

Hong Yuye chuckled but did not pay much attention to it.

Instead, she turned to look outside.

The sea view here was indeed strange.

That night, Jiang Hao received an invitation from the captain to join him in the cabin.

He didn’t refuse.

After a while, he arrived in a quaint little room. A middle-aged man was at the table making tea.

Jiang Hao and Hong Yuye entered.

“Please take a seat,” said the captain.

After they were seated, the middle-aged man said, “This tea is called the Deep Pointed Tea. It’s a deep-sea spirit tea. Not only is it difficult to grow, but the production is also very small. Only a bit is harvested in over ten years. But it’s worth the wait. Please try it.”

Jiang Hao was a little surprised. From the aroma, he could tell that this tea wasn’t inferior to September Spring at all. From the spiritual energy circulating in the tea, he could tell that it was even more impressive than September Spring.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip.

A coolness spread throughout his body.

It made him feel as if he was in the endless deep sea. His mind was calm.

This tea was extraordinary.

He realized something. He put down the cup. “This is good tea.”

“I’m glad you liked it,” said the middle-aged man with a smile. “Let me introduce myself. I’m Situ Wudao.”

“Smiling San Sheng,” said Jiang Hao.

“Are you going to Colored Glass Island?” Situ Wudao raised his teacup and asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“Are you going to the Dragon Cave?” Situ Wudao asked.

Jiang Hao didn’t answer.

“Do you know that it’s a trap?” asked Situ Wudao. “If you intend to enter it anyway, I can help you a little.”

“A favor?” Jiang Hao stared at him.

Situ Wudao took out a scale. “This is a Dragon Scale, a rather special one. It has the will of a True Dragon and can lead you to the correct path. Maybe you can avoid the trap in that way. In exchange, I want one of the pills that is inside. If there’s no pill, there should be some information.”

“What kind of pill is it?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.

“Scarlet Feather Divine Pill,” Situ Wudao said.

Jiang Hao was a little surprised. He slowly said, “The Scarlet Feather Divine Pill can nourish the primordial spirit, dispel evil, remove curses, and eliminate inner demons. As long as there’s a wisp of breath, it can save your life.”

Situ Wudao was surprised. “You are very knowledgeable, Fellow Disciple.”

“I used it once before,” said Jiang Hao.

Hong Yuye had given it to him, but he didn’t say that.

He was a little puzzled. The Scarlet Feather Divine Pill was ineffective against the Dragon Clan. Why would it be in the Dragon Cave?

He asked a few more questions.

He realized that the other party only wanted to make a deal.

He didn’t want to go in, and it would be a waste to keep the Dragon Scales. So, he thought it would be better to let someone go in.

Once he obtained the Scarlet Feather Divine Pill, he would win big.

Jiang Hao didn’t mind. Having the Dragon Scales was a good thing for him.

However, that was not enough.

He still needed the other party to help him with something.

On the deck, the old woman stood with Nangong Yue.

“We have to find a way to travel with Smiling San Sheng,” said the old woman.

“Why? I feel that he is a little dangerous.” Nangong Yue was unwilling to join him.

“It’s very likely that he’s also trying to enter the Dragon Cave. Perhaps we can help each other out. He definitely doesn’t have the information we have. As Saint Bandits, we have a special way to enter. No matter how powerful Smiling San Sheng is, he won’t be able to understand the Saint Bandits’ methods. We simply can’t fail this time. We need his help.”

“I just don’t know what will happen if we cooperate with such a reckless person.”
