Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

There was mist surrounding a huge island overseas.

This mist could block people’s sight and perception.

It could even disrupt the foresight of those within.

Nangong Yue was too weak and had paid a great price to cross the southern region to get here.

Their people were still too few.

The help along the way was still not enough.

The forces related to them were extremely few, let alone those who were friendly to them.

The Saint Bandits were not well-liked.

The situation was relatively better compared to the past.

They were targeted by many people. Even the Human Emperor had wanted to suppress them.

However, they had finally made it.

There were still more than twenty years left. There was still time.

She walked all the way inside.

Not long after, he was stopped by someone.

“It’s me!” Nangong Yue immediately declared.

“Miss Nangong? Where is Senior Duanmu?” asked a man.

“He was needed somewhere for something. I need to see Senior Chuan Yue.” Nangong Yue said seriously.

“If it’s not very urgent, Senior wants to remain undisturbed,” said the man. “What business do you have with him?”

“It’s a matter regarding the Twelve Heavenly Kings. I would like to ask Senior Chuan Yu’s help,” Nangong Yue said truthfully.

“Twelve Heavenly Kings? Are you here about Heavenly King Hai Luo?” the man asked.

“Yes.”

“That won’t do. Senior Chuan Yue has made it clear that there is no room for discussion regarding that. He won’t do it,” said the man.

Nangong Yue reached out and showed him her palm. “Is this enough to gain entry?”

The word “Bandit” slowly appeared on her palm. The moment he saw it, the man’s face changed. He immediately said, “Miss, please follow me.”

Without hesitation, the two of them headed deep into the island.

After a while, Nangong Yue saw a middle-aged man with white hair.

Nangong Yue stretched out her hand. The word “Bandit” appeared once again.

“Senior Chuan Yue, you must do everything you can to restore Heavenly King Hai Luo’s cultivation realm to its peak within twenty-three years,” she said firmly.

As soon as she finished speaking, the word “Bandit” on her palm began to crack, and it shattered completely. The deed was done, so the words disappeared.

Chuan Yue did not react when he saw this. He stood with his hands behind his back and walked away.

Then, his voice boomed outside.

“All those who have mastered the technique to recover cultivation, follow me.”

He did not have any doubts anymore.

Was this for the sake of the Heavenly Kings or the world?

No one dared to ask that question.

They knew that this matter would have a huge impact.

They did not need to investigate for long. They just needed to complete what they had been told to do.

They were willing to give everything to complete the task in twenty-three years.

Whether it was the right thing or the wrong thing to do did not matter at all. What was important was to complete the task.

Even if they were not present to see it, they knew that they would succeed.

Their success did not have to depend on just one person.

At that moment, many people began to gather on the island.

That afternoon, Chuan Yue headed to the sea realm where Mu Longyu lived.

Back then, Mu Longyu had visited him with a request, but he had refused.

He had come to visit Mu Longyu voluntarily this time.

He neither asked for a price in return nor cared for his reputation.

His task was clear. Anyone who stopped them from restoring Heavenly King Hai Luo’s cultivation realm would be considered enemies of the Saint Bandits.

…

Mu Longyu sighed after the meeting.

Hai Luo’s problem was bigger than expected, and the other Heavenly Kings were all thinking of ways to solve it.

Naturally, he could not leave it to fate.

He had to do something.

They had already opened the storage of the Twelve Heavenly Kings.

They were waiting for Jiang Hao’s mysterious person to take a look at the treasures.

No one asked the reason. No one even went to the warehouse.

Mu Longyu did not know if that mysterious person had received the news yet.

Perhaps he did not know it yet. He could only think of one way to send news.

He wanted to let the other party know that he could enter all the warehouses with the jade pendant from before.

While he was troubled, there was a commotion outside.

The sound of hurried footsteps made it clear that whoever approached was anxious.

“Heavenly King, something has happened.”

Mu Longyu frowned.

Soon, a man stood in front of the Heavenly King. He said nervously, “Heavenly King, there are many Saint Bandits outside. They want to see you.”

“Saint Bandit? How many people are there to make you feel so flustered?” asked Mu Longyu.

He quickly walked out.

He discovered that there were numerous Saint Bandits at his residence. They stood quietly and waited for him. They were all very powerful experts.

The white-haired middle-aged man in the lead looked even more impressive.

Mu Longyu recognized him. He was Senior Chuan Yue. He had rejected his request for a visit before.

Why was he here this time?

“Senior Chuan Yue?” Mu Longyu said politely and walked over to him.

“Greetings, Heavenly King Mu,” said Chuan Yue in an equally polite way.

“Senior, why are you here?” Mu Longyu was a little curious.

“I’m here for Heavenly King Hai Luo.” Chuan Yue looked at Nangong Yue.

“Someone has asked us to help King Hai Luo, so we’re here,” said Nangong Yue. “They also told us that we only have twenty-three years to help him. We hope you will not waste time, Heavenly King.”

“In twenty-three years, the Saint Bandits will give it their all to restore King Hai Luo’s cultivation realm to its peak,” said Chuan Ye seriously.

Mu Longyu was stunned. He instantly thought of Jiang Hao.

That person… Could it be Jiang Hao, after all?

He said nothing of it.

“Thank you and please, let’s not delay.” Mu Longyu did not ask too many questions.

It did not matter how Jiang Hao did it.

It did not matter whether it was him or the person backing him.

The important thing was that the person who wanted to try to make them immortals was not someone ordinary.

The Saint Bandits shocked him.

They promised to give it their all.

It seemed there was hope for Hai Luo to recover his cultivation realm, after all.

“Senior, you don’t have to be so polite with us. If there’s anything you need help with, the Twelve Heavenly Kings will do their best to assist,” Mu Longyu said.

“That’s good.” Chuan Yue nodded.

They did not ask each other anything.

No matter what, they were only doing this for the sake of Hai Luo’s cultivation.

Everything else could wait until this was done.

…

Early the next morning, Jiang Hao opened his eyes. The power in his body had increased tremendously.

But for some reason, his face was pale.

Jiang Hao also noticed something strange.

He did not hesitate to appraise his condition.

[Status: The Heaven Extinction Gu Poison and Hong Yuye’s One Heart Palm are simultaneously involved in the Karma Vortex of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl, and the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl. At the same time, with the vast merit of the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron, it can maintain balance with the Karma Vortex. If the merit is exhausted after 23 years, the Mountain Sea Seal can strengthen the Merit Cauldron.]

Jiang Hao was stunned when he saw this.

Before, he had twenty-six years left.

After two years, he should still have twenty-four years.

He had broken through, so he should have maintained the same time frame.

Jiang Hao thought back to the past.

In the beginning, the deadline had increased after he advanced. After a while, it remained the same.

This time, it was reduced by a year.

It meant that the disturbance caused by his advancement had exceeded the time brought by the advancement.
