Chapter 682: Forced To Leave The Sect
....
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Hao was well aware of the grudge against the Heavenly Note Sect.
He had waited in front of other sects for many years to find traitors.
Someone like Qian Chen, even if he hid in the Immortal Sect, the sect would probably find a way to send someone in to kill him. They would find him even if it meant using the Heavenly Essence Soul Modeling Mirror.
There was no escape for him.
With such a divine artifact, there was nowhere to hide.
So, what was the point?
“Junior Brother, you wouldn’t understand. Creating a new alchemical path is an extraordinary achievement.” Qian Chen smiled.
“You’ve come to the wrong sect, then, ” Jiang Hao said.
Qian Chen could escape to another sect, and he didn’t intend to die there.
At least he wouldn’t be relentlessly pursued.
“No other sect can compare to the Heavenly Note Sect. Besides, they don’t have the Blood Pool. At the final moment, the fusion of the Blood Pool is necessary to determine my path. If I have time and enough blood, I will merge the power within the Blood Pool. Then, my strength will skyrocket. Maybe I can try to resist, escape from here, go to a distant place, live a few years of the life I’ve always wanted, and try my own alchemical path. At the very least, I want my path to be known throughout the world. But I know you won’t let me do that, Junior Brother,” said Qian Chen.
He didn’t have enough blood. It just happened that Jiang Hao had killed two people and burned their fresh blood.
But that was how he had managed to survive until the end. Otherwise, the person in front of him would have already taken action.
Jiang Hao fell silent for a moment. ‘Was there an attack on the Heavenly Note Sect because of you?”
“Yes,” Qian Chen said. “I provided information about the vulnerabilities within the Heavenly Note Sect to the Heavenly Saint Sect and the Blood Shadow Sect, as well as the Sunset Immortal Sect. They might take action, or at least, they can contain the sect. This will give me more time.”
Jiang Hao lowered his head. The Heavenly Saint Sect and the Sunset Immortal Sect both had a beef with him.
If the sect were to lose, it would be disastrous for him, especially during these past few days when those who had gone to the Blackheaven Sect hadn’t returned yet. The sect was very vulnerable right now.
“Senior Brother, you are truly far-sighted,” Jiang Hao said. “What are your plans for this alchemical path?”
“I want to leave it to a few selected individuals from the Candlelight Pill Pavilion,” Qian Chen said.
“Do you have spirit stones with you?” Jiang Hao asked.
“I have some alchemical pills and herbs in my residence, which require certain
tecnmques to enter,” said (Ilan cnen.
“Good.” Jiang Hao nodded. He asked for the list of names.
Qian Chen gave it to him and disappeared completely. He felt some relief as well as regret.
For the sake of safety, Jiang Hao unleashed his power and erased his tracks.
Even the stone tablet was incinerated, but he remembered its contents. He also re-engraved the stone tablet and added the names and a brief explanation about their origins.
‘This way, there will be no mistakes.’
After ensuring there were no hidden threats, Jiang Hao approached Qi Yang and the others. He looked at their storage treasures and then disappeared from the spot.
These people were only at the Foundation Establishment Realm and very few spirit stones.
It was better to check Qian Chen’s residence to get more spirit stones. If he got them, he would help with the tasks. If not, so be it.
When Jiang Hao reappeared, he was in a wooden house.
It was now the second day. The spirit beast was not in the courtyard, and Jiang Hao noticed that the peach tree had blossomed.
After watering the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, he made his way to the Spirit Herb Garden.
When he arrived, he saw disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall.
“All cultivators above the Golden Core Realm are to proceed outside the sect to provide support.”
Jiang Hao had just arrived. The disciples saw him and sent some communication talismans flying toward him.
“Junior Brother, you now have temporary permission to go outside. The sect is in dire need of your a.s.sistance during this crisis.”
Jiang Hao received the talisman. It was hard for him to believe that the sect had reached such a state.
However, the fact that it hadn’t been breached yet indicated that the attack wasn’t as fierce as he had imagined.
“Understood.”
He couldn’t refuse, but he managed to stall for some time. He told them he needed to prepare some things.
When he returned to his residence, he left behind a second teleportation formation. Since the previous one had been used, he wouldn’t be able to return if he encountered any danger today.
After taking care of these matters, he went outside the sect and began gathering with other disciples of the sect.
In cases like these, those with a high cultivation realm automatically a.s.sume leadership roles.
Jiang Hao, at the middle stage of the Golden Core Middle Realm, was among quite a few juniors. As he watched people gathering, Jiang Hao couldn’t help but sigh at how well Qian Chen had chosen his timing.
There were hardly any people paying attention to other matters at the moment.
However, he had orchestrated this. It was indeed remarkable. It was a crazy idea but was done very meticulously.
It was a pity that his opponent had underestimated one aspect. Otherwise, the plan might have actually succeeded.
“Which branch are you from?” asked a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator.
“I’m Jiang Hao from the Cliff of Broken Hearts,” said Jiang Hao.
“Middle stage of the Golden Core Realm? You’ll team up with Junior Brother Yu and others to investigate the surrounding areas,” said the Primordial Spirit Realm senior.
Jiang Hao made his way to Junior Brother Yu’s team.
The team was led by a cultivator at the late stage of the Golden Core Realm. It was a group of five people, with three men and two women.
“Juniors, follow me,” Yu Dehong said politely.
Jiang Hao and the others nodded in agreement.
Their senior appeared to be around twenty-eight years old, and he had a solid cultivation in the late stage of the Golden Core Realm. He had experienced life-and-death situations and was a reliable leader.
“Remember, if you encounter any issues, escape and wait to regroup,” said Yu Dehong kindly.
“We are currently on patrol. If we see anyone being hostile, it means the attackers plan an ambush. There is no need to stay and die there. Just regroup and report your findings. If you discover anything, leave immediately and avoid stirring up trouble.”
“Senior Brother, are you being too lenient?” a young man asked. “If it’s possible, we could totally stay and take them down to gather more information.”
“Indeed, as cultivators, we should fight,” said a short-haired woman.
Jiang Hao looked at them.
They were all in the Golden Core Realm, and their auras were quite powerful. It meant that they had good talent.
They also possessed remarkable magical treasures, and their status and positions were quite high in the sect.
Yu Dehong felt somewhat embarra.s.sed. “Juniors, you have some good insights, but we are ultimately on patrol. Our main duty is to do our job properly, rather than get caught in the fray.”
The other two didn’t say much, but their disdain was evident.
Jiang Hao looked at the other cultivator, who was a woman.
She was in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. She looked nervous and kept glancing at the other seniors beside her.
Jiang Hao sighed quietly. He realized that this team was quite disorganized. It was no wonder they were only given patrol duties.
However, even on patrol, he was worried about leaving the sect. After all, quite a few people were keeping an eye on him, and they could show up at any moment.
But the distant explosion of power distracted him.
In front of the sect, powerful cultivators constantly engaged in battle. The storm caused by the erupting power never seemed to cease.
This was the main battlefield between the two sides.
‘Let’s hope nothing dangerous happens…’ Jiang Hao thought to himself..
