Chapter 1484: Perhaps Someone Is Waiting For Me (1)
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hao looked at the inn.

Although he did not know why he was here, it was still a place. Perhaps he could ask around to find answers.

Moreover, his divine power was being consumed. If he did not figure things out before it was completely depleted, there was a good chance he would vanish altogether.

Standing outside and waiting was not a good option.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Hao stepped toward the inn’s door.

The closer he got, the more he could hear noises from inside as if people were arguing.

“Call me big brother, and I’ll teach you my ultimate technique.”

“Dream on.”

“You want to do it the hard way?”

After that, Jiang Hao heard a commotion, followed by a loud crash.

Something was flung out from inside and landed right beside Jiang Hao’s feet.

He looked down and saw a little red-haired girl, who appeared to be only four or five years old.

She lay on the ground without much reaction. Upon noticing someone near her, her eyes started to well up with tears.

Jiang Hao helped her up and gently asked, “Are you okay?”

“My foot hurts. Brother, can you carry me…” The little girl looked up at Jiang Hao, and as soon as she saw him, she froze. Panic filled her eyes, and then she burst into tears. “Mother! Father!”

She cried as she ran back into the inn.

Jiang Hao was puzzled.

Did he really look that scary?

He was not used to dealing with such young children.

As the child ran back to the doorway, a woman in a yellow dress picked her up.

The little girl pointed at Jiang Hao in anger.

The woman looked in his direction.

Upon seeing him, the woman also froze for a moment, then hurriedly clutched the red-haired girl closer.

The two of them screamed and ran back inside.

Jiang Hao was speechless.

It seemed that his arrival was not welcome.

Before Jiang Hao could get any closer, two heads peeked out from the door.

One belonged to an unknown demonic beast, and the other, naturally, was the little girl.

Soon, a young man’s head peeked out from the door. He looked somewhat similar to the little girl.

Then, a red-haired woman poked her head out, followed by the woman in yellow from before. They looked at him curiously.

A handsome young man’s head appeared as well.

These people, from bottom to top, poked their heads out and stared at Jiang Hao.

They looked wary and curious, as though they were looking at something strange.

He found them odd and was about to ask if he could enter.

But he noticed the inn starting to fade, as did the path behind him.

The void gradually approached him. It meant that this place was not his final destination.

Realizing this, Jiang Hao did not bother to speak.

He respectfully bowed and then continued walking forward.

He could hear exclamations of surprise behind him.

But soon, everything faded as chaos enveloped the inn, and he could not hear them anymore.

Jiang Hao could only keep walking deeper into the unknown.

Along the way, he saw many people flying around on swords, inside and out.

Suddenly, with a loud crash.

Two people were blasted outside from within.

The terrifying force leveled the road and filled the surroundings with a dreadful aura.

“Not again! This happens every day! Can’t you guys stop?” someone yelled in anger as they started to rebuild the road.

Jiang Hao was surprised but continued his journey. The lack of a clear path made it somewhat difficult to walk.

But he finally managed to get inside.

Inside the large gate, he looked around and noticed that all the mountain peaks to his left were shrouded in a faint mist as if they could be consumed by the surrounding chaos at any moment.

Only the far-right peak remained bright and clear.

Without hesitation, Jiang Hao walked in that direction.

As he progressed, he saw people flying on swords, some of whom glanced at him curiously but soon left without bothering him.

Jiang Hao’s pace was slow, but he felt like he reached the base of the mountain in just a few steps.

Upon reaching the base, he heard the sound of someone digging the ground.

When he approached, he saw a young man planting trees.

Jiang Hao’s arrival caught his attention.

“Who are you?” the young man asked curiously as he put down his hoe.

“I am Jiang Hao. May I ask who you are, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked respectfully.

“Senior? Are you mocking me?” The young man snapped irritably. “My name is Mo, and I am the only legitimate disciple of this mountain peak.”

“What are you doing, Disciple Mo?” Jiang Hao asked.

“The Peak Master doesn’t like me, so he makes me plant trees. Sooner or later, I’ll torture him to death and become the Peak Master myself,” said Mo angrily.

Jiang Hao saw the encroaching chaos and knew he could not stay long. After a polite farewell, he continued his journey up the mountain.

This time, he did not see anyone else.

Halfway up the mountain, Jiang Hao found a peach grove.

The area was the clearest, which indicated that it was likely the correct path.

Upon entering the grove, he discovered that it was protected by a formation. It was a Bewildering Formation.

‘Just a simple formation. I should be able to break it.’ Jiang Hao thought confidently as he began working on breaking the formation.

After a while, feeling confident, he proceeded further in.

In less than fifteen minutes, he found himself back where he started.

“Maybe I made a mistake. I’ll take it more seriously this time,” Jiang Hao muttered as he started to break the formation again.

But after another fifteen minutes, he was back at the starting point.

“By all logic, I should have made it through. Could it be that this isn’t an ordinary maze?” Jiang Hao muttered.

He studied it carefully before trying once more with renewed determination.

He found himself back at the starting point again after fifteen minutes of walking.

“It’s not an ordinary Bewildering Formation.” He lowered his head and sighed.

“It’s just an ordinary maze.” An exasperated voice came from the depths of the peach forest.

“It’s just a regular maze formation!” a frustrated voice shouted from the depths of the peach grove. “I’ve seen bad formation breakers before, but you’re the worst! It’s just a simple maze!”
