Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

On the day of the journey to the Devil’s Den, Zhou Chan approached Jiang Hao.

“Junior Brother Jiang, we meet again.” She smiled.

“Senior Sister Zhou, do you have something to do at the Spirit Herb Garden?” Jiang Hao asked.

“That’s right.” She handed over a transparent box. “Elder Baizhi asked me to give you this.”

Jiang Hao understood that it was another reward for cultivating the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

After delivering the item, Zhou Chan left.

Jiang Hao felt strange.

Something seemed different.

He still remembered the information he had received about Zhou Chan the last time he appraised her. Something about rising to power like a fish leaping over the dragon gate…

He didn’t know how she was going to rise, but now it seemed there were already signs of it.

‘Senior Sister Zhou has a heart of gold and can perceive malice in people.

Perhaps her rise is related to that.’

He wasn’t worried about Zhou Chen. She was quite alright. The reason she was friendly to him might be because she couldn’t sense any malice from him.

Such people belonged to immortal sects, but they were better off at demonic sects. No one was a hypocrite in a demonic sect. They were always honest even in their brutalities.

The ones who pretended to be good and moral usually turned out to be bad, nine times out of ten.

“The Nine Heaven War Boots?” Jiang Hao looked at the contents of the box.

This thing needed to be worn first, and it would resonate with the other battle artifacts for a few days before fully activating its potential.

After finding a place to put on the boots, Jiang Hao jumped two times to see how comfortable they were. He tapped the boots and felt that the material was good. It had extremely strong defensive capabilities.

It seemed like it might also increase his speed.

He activated the Demon Sound Thousand Miles Technique for a moment and found that it had increased by twenty percent. This was remarkable!

After putting away his old shoes, Jiang Hao headed to the Law Enforcement Hall to head to the Devil’s Den.

He just wanted to go there to avoid any issues. If the new guests found him at the Cliff of Broken Hearts, there would be new troubles.

The Devil’s Den was alright. It wasn’t easy for others to enter, and the place was spacious enough to attempt to hide.

He wasn’t a match for them, but as long as he had some time, he could escape the Devil’s Den and return to his house.

And then, he would continue to figure out a plan.

A total of five people were going to the Devil’s Den this time.

Jiang Hao was a bit disappointed to not find Zheng Shijiu and the others in his group this time. Otherwise, the journey would have been much better.

All five of them had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

There wasn’t a leader this time, and everyone had the same level of cultivation. No one would have to bow to another.

“You’re here quite late, aren’t you?” A burly man looked at Jiang Hao coldly.

He was Hu Kai of the Flowing Waterfall.

ADart from him. there were three others:

An Jing of the Heavenly Joy Pavilion, Qi Xian of the Misty Cloud Peak, and Yi Wen from the Candlelight Pill Pavilion.

An Jing was dressed in a white gown, while Qi Xian wore a blue dress.

“Let’s set off,” said An Jing.

Jiang Hao didn’t say anything. Actually, he had arrived earlier than the designated time. But he hadn’t expected these four people to arrive earlier than that.

It didn’t matter. They all headed to the Devil’s Den.

As long as they completed the mission well and didn’t interfere with each other, everything would be fine.

However, he looked carefully at the disciple from the Heavenly Joy Pavilion.

She didn’t look dangerous, but he could never be sure when she would decide to make a sudden move. He needed to stay vigilant.

After a short while, they rode their swords to the entrance of the Devil’s Den.

They entered the cave and quickly arrived at the forest. They found that many demons were wandering around.

“So many?” Qi Xian frowned. She looked nervous.

“And they don’t look that weak. Did the Devil’s Den have this many demons before?” Yi Wen asked.

“Why so many questions? Just clear them out.” Hu Kai took a step forward and charged at the demons.

Jiang Hao frowned. Wasn’t that too reckless?

They could have at least lured them with some techniques.

Demons could throw giant rocks as weapons. It wouldn’t be easy to avoid them once they approached.

Boom!

Hu Kai had already started fighting.

But there were no giant rocks in sight.

Jiang Hao and the others charged forward.

Hu Kai wasn’t dealing with the demons individually. He was pulling all the surrounding demons to him.

The others were displeased.

“Senior Brother Hu, isn’t it dangerous to lure the demons over like this?” An Jing asked.

“Not a match for them? You should have informed me earlier if you couldn’t fight them. Why wait until I start to fight?” said Hu Kai.

Jiang Hao didn’t say anything. He just cooperated with attacking the demons.

Killing demons of this level didn’t benefit him in any way. So, he wanted to take it slow.

Leaving too early would be too dangerous.

He didn’t know why the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl was not inert like before. Something had caused it to react strangely, and Jiang Hao was curious about it.

At the guest residence of the Heavenly Note Sect, Mu Qiu addressed the people around him.

“Inform the people of the Heavenly Note Sect that the person we’re looking for might be hidden among their disciples. I hope they can help us search. We can afford the required spirit stones.”

“Yes.” The person by his side left.

When only Mu Qiu was left in the room, his face darkened.

‘Master Hong Cheng didn’t come along… It seems he has different intentions. Since that’s the case, we’ll need to use the Heavenly Note Sect’s help to eliminate him. ‘

He looked toward the door. His people must be spying in secret.

When needed, they would appear.

He was guarding not only against the Heavenly Note Sect’s people but also against other cultivators from different sects.

‘This demonic sect doesn’t look like a demonic sect at all. It seems worse than the rumors.’ Mu Qiu sighed.

He thought he would have to pay a considerable price to come in here. Unexpectedly, the sect was quite accommodating.

It only took a few spirit stones to enter this place, and they provided conveniences in various aspects.

It was really baffling. A demonic sect wasn’t supposed to be like this. How had they managed to survive for so long?

He decided to take a stroll outside.

However, just as he reached the doorway, an underling suddenly rushed in.

He crawled to Mu Qiu’s side in fear. “Elder, something bad has happened.”

“What happened? Speak!” Mu Qiu frowned. He had a bad feeling about this.

“The Heavenly Note Sect has killed most of our people and is now besieging us! I don’t know why.” The person was terrified.

Mu Qiu found it hard to believe. ‘Why?’

“How many people are left?” he asked.

The person knelt before Mu Qiu. He wanted to answer but only managed to spit out a mouthful of blood. Then blood spurted from his body.

He was about to collapse.

Mu Qiu was astonished. When he leaned in closer to take a look, the person smiled coldly.

Right after, his hand turned into a sword.

Splat!

The hand broke through the magic treasure, shattered the defense, and pierced through Mu Qiu’s body in a single strike. “Despicable!” Mu Qiu was furious.

Boom!

He started to defend himself.

The person dealt another blow and retreated.

At this point, magical treasures appeared in the air, with four people suppressing him.

Each of them had formidable strength.

“It’s nice to be given this much attention to an old man. Five branch masters have arrived to deal with an old man like me. I just want to know why. Even if you’re from a demonic sect, there is no need to be so direct,” said Mu Qiu.

A dignified middle-aged man looked at Mu Qiu. “We’ll be taking you to the

Lawless Tower, Fellow Daoist Mu..”
