Chapter 832: Demoness: Go By Yourself

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The siege from the Heavenly Saint Sect started and ended pretty quickly.

After losing the Holy Master, the group silently withdrew.

They needed to figure out what had happened.

However, when they found out, they were furious.

Under the towering mountains, several people engaged in heated discussion.

A young man slammed the table and stood up angrily. “The Heavenly Note Sect is too arrogant. How can they be so blasphemous? They have tainted the Holy

Master’s divine soul!”

“Did you find out who did it?” an old woman asked.

“No. We have no information at all. Miao Tinglian is still alive. She might know, but it’s unlikely she’ll tell us anything,” said a middle-aged man.

“Try to contact her and make her reveal what she knows!” said a young man furiously. “Such traitors should be killed.”

“If the Holy Master can’t descend because we murdered the Saintess, will you take responsibility for it?” asked the old woman.

The young man lowered his head and fell silent.

“Let’s send someone to investigate and to keep an eye on the Great Thousand G.o.d Sect. They are suspicious,” said the old woman after a while.

The group quieted down and formulated a plan.

“Contact Jiang Hao, too. See how much he knows,” the middle-aged man said.

Others nodded.

They began to plan further.

The Heavenly Saint Sect withdrew.

Jiang Hao noticed it when Hong Yuye left.

Yesterday, after Hong Yuye took a bath and slept, she disappeared from his balcony.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

He still had injuries to deal with, and it would take some time for him to recover to his peak.

He also needed to prepare to head West.

He had to understand the situation and decide what ident.i.ty to use.

Should he go as himself or as Smiling San Sheng? Or was it better to use Gu Jin’s ident.i.ty?

Each option had its own advantages and disadvantages.

Smiling San Sheng was a member of The End of All Things, so he could contact The End of All Things if needed.

Gu Jin could contact the Astronomical Academy.

As long as he didn’t cause trouble, it would be fine.

But it wasn’t easy to get things done sometimes, and he didn’t know how much danger The End of All Things would put him in.

It was fine to use any ident.i.ty as long as no one knew that Smiling San Sheng and Gu Jin were the same person. That was the risk involved.

If that happened, it would be troublesome. Both those ident.i.ties could be compromised.

Jiang Hao sighed and headed to the Spirit Herb Garden.

He heard from Xiao Li that someone had caused trouble here too.

Later, the enemies had fled when they faced the spirit beast.

They even claimed that the Holy Master was more powerful than the spirit beast.

Jiang Hao didn’t take that seriously until half a month later when he found out that some people from the Heavenly Saint Sect were still eyeing the Spirit Herb Garden.

After asking around, he found out that the angry Heavenly Saint Sect members were offended because the spirit beast had claimed that it was more powerful and important than the Holy Master.

One sentence had provoked them: “The Holy Master couldn’t compare to Lord

Jiang Hao was stunned. ‘Did Xiao Li say that?’

He frowned.

Indeed, it would have been better to let it go. He now had to be extra vigilant around the Spirit Herb Garden because of just one sentence.

He didn’t know what the fanatic disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect might do.

He called the spirit beast and asked about the situation.

“They said that the Holy Master comes first, then the heavens. I could only tell them the truth. I, Lord Beast, come before the Holy Master. They seemed to… believe it,” said the beast.

Jiang Hao sighed wearily.

If it was someone else, he wouldn’t have cared. But the members of the Heavenly Saint Sects were fanatics.

He had to be careful.

Hopefully, there won’t be too many powerful fanatics appearing anytime soon.

Otherwise, the spirit beast and Xiao Li would be in serious trouble.

Xiao Li had the Dragon Pearl, so she might be able to handle them. However, he was concerned about the rumors of other dragons.

The Clear Sky School and the Abyssal Sea both had traces of real dragons.

Jiang Hao didn’t think too much about it.

He also found out that Miao Tinglian was safe. They didn’t mention the incident at all.

Everyone acted as though nothing had happened.

However, people from the Heavenly Saint Sect would likely focus on them. Fortunately, due to the sudden attack, the sect became much more strict than before.

The Law Enforcement Hall often took action to kill their enemies.

According to Liu Xingchen, the sect found many Heavenly Saint Sect spies and was now hunting them down.

“I also heard that the Holy Master’s divine soul was killed within the Cliff of Broken Hearts,” he said with a smile. “What do you think about that, Junior Brother Jiang?

“It must be the sect’s doing,” Jiang Hao said.

Liu Xingchen just smiled. “Many people in the Law Enforcement Hall think so too. Out of curiosity, we investigated a bit, but we found nothing. What a pity..

Jiang Hao could only express his regret.

Liu Xingchen’s current condition was stable. He was refining his cultivation.

The speed of his progress was incredibly fast.

Jiang Hao admired him. When he first saw him, he was in the Golden Core Realm, and now, he had reached the Soul Ascension Realm in just over ten years.

The speed of progress was unimaginable.

After that, he went to the Task Hall.

“Junior Brother Jiang, are you planning on going out?” asked the Senior Sister at the reception.

“Are there any missions I can take?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Yes. I’ve saved some that are suitable for you,” she said. She handed him a few of the available tasks. “Junior Brother, you can choose from these.”

The first task was to find a traitor in the Golden Core Realm.

The second was to recruit a disciple who was targeted by the Heavenly Gate Sect.

The third task was to visit a city where he needed to find some of the forces affiliated with the sect.

All of them had a three-month deadline.

Failure to complete the task would cost him 3,500 spirit stones.

“Whv 2.500?” asked Tiang Hao.

“Because your cultivation realm is high, so the risk we bear is also higher,” said the Senior Sister.

Jiang Hao nodded.

With higher cultivation, it was easier for a disciple to escape. The Law Enforcement Hall had to bear the responsibility for it ultimately.

It would be difficult and unrewarding to capture someone with a higher cultivation realm.

Jiang Hao didn’t rush to accept a mission. He wanted to wait for a while and think about it properly.

Although his injuries were almost healed, he hadn’t reached the peak yet.

In the past few days, he had made some talismans and set up a stall again.

There was no other choice. He had run out of spirit stones.

If he went to the West without spirit stones, he would run into trouble.

As for the Holy Master’s divine soul, he was still absorbing it, but the absorption rate was too slow and required a long time.

He had tried using spiritual energy to stimulate it, which had a slight effect, but it made too much noise.

It wasn’t until July that Jiang Hao felt his state had reached its peak.

Hong Yuye appeared in his courtyard.

“Senior, greetings.” Jiang Hao bowed.

“We leave tomorrow,” said Hong Yuye calmly while looking at the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

Jiang Hao nodded.

“How do you plan to go there?” Hong Yuye asked.

“I can go there instantly,” Jiang Hao said.

Guan Zhongfei had activated the golden ring, so he could teleport there.

“Tomorrow at noon, then. You can set off on your own,” she said.

Jiang Hao was surprised. ‘Am I going alone?’ That would be even more dangerous..
