Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 101

Chapter 101: Invitation to Join the Xuantian Sect

After pondering on the spot for a while, Jiang Hao couldn’t come up with an answer.

“Let’s go see them.”

He sighed and decided to make the trip, although he didn’t feel it would be a good thing.

Before leaving, he wanted to collect some spirit bubbles.

He had planned to study the wrist guard when he had some time, but now that would have to wait until he returned from Xuanyuan Tai.

“Junior Brother Jiang, good morning.”

In front of the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Miao Tinglian greeted Jiang Hao.

He instinctively returned the greeting, but soon felt something was off.

It was one thing for her to be there, but by all rights, even as a newcomer, she should be calling him Senior Brother.

“I’m at the mid-stage of Golden Core; surely you don’t expect me to call you Senior Brother, do you?” Miao Tinglian seemed to notice Jiang Hao’s confusion and then added with a smile.

“Junior Brother, I’ve realized that you’re really wasted your life in the Demon Sect.”

Jiang Hao bowed his head and didn’t say anything.

However, he felt that this Senior Sister Miaoting’s cultivation level didn’t seem to be at its peak.

It was sealed.

Suppressed to the peak of Foundation Establishment.

“Junior Brother, don’t mind her. Master has ordered a one-year assessment, and only if there are no issues can she join our Duanqing Cliff,” Mu Qi came over and explained.

“As for the terms Junior Sister and Senior Sister, don’t listen to her.”

Jiang Hao greeted him and then nodded in agreement.

To avoid trouble, calling a Golden Core stage powerhouse Senior Sister wasn’t a big deal.

Afterward, Mu Qi took Miao Tinglian to familiarize herself with the surroundings.

Along the way, Jiang Hao could vaguely sense that Mu Qi didn’t want to get too close to Miao Tinglian.

“I’m warning you, don’t cause trouble.”

“Cause trouble? Even teasing a kid is called causing trouble? I think your Junior Brother is quite good, aren’t you being too meddlesome?”

“What do you know? Everyone who has had a grudge with Junior Brother Jiang is dead.”

Watching them walk away, Jiang Hao mentally apologized; he hadn’t meant to eavesdrop, but due to the nameless secret manual, coupled with his late-stage Golden Core cultivation, he had inadvertently heard them.

But this sentence indeed reminded him that even if those people had no evidence, everything revolved around him.

Every time someone died without a trace, it was somehow related to him.

He was too conspicuous.

Half a year of silence had not been effective.

“I wonder if they think there’s a problem with me or if there’s someone behind me.”

In fact, those who openly mocked him were far less dangerous than those who were wary of him.

Like Bai Ye.

He never showed up, nor did he say anything unpleasant.

But he casually used spiritual medicine to secretly seal his cultivation progress, which was terrifying and dangerous.

The reason was simply suspicion.

With a light sigh in his heart, he went to the Spiritual Medicine Garden to collect the spirit bubbles and asked about the situation in the garden.

Seeing that there were no problems, he left the Spiritual Medicine Garden and headed for the Lawless Tower.

Xuanyuan Tai was detained near the Lawless Tower, where there was an area that restrained the power of the body, which was also the preparation area for entering the Lawless Tower.

“Duanqing Cliff’s Jiang Hao?” The middle-aged man guarding the prison asked.

“That’s right,” Jiang Hao nodded.

“Come with me. However, you might feel some discomfort after entering, but there’s no need to panic,” Guo Feng reminded.

After nodding, Jiang Hao walked inside.

The place was dark and narrow, going downhill.

After some time, he felt his power being constantly compressed inside his body.

This surprised him, but he did not show it.

When he arrived at the underground cell, his power was completely sealed.

“It’s the power of the lawless tower. Entering the Lawless Tower also requires going through this, and then the power uncontrollably spills out. Nascent Soul depleted, Golden Core shattered, Foundation Establishment collapsed. It’s truly a terrifying process,” Guo Feng said with an involuntary shiver as if he had experienced it himself.

“But on the other side, it’s the opposite. There’s an abundance of spiritual energy, and one can even use the power of the Lawless Tower to advance,” Guo Feng said with some envy.

“Unfortunately, only a very few people can enter, as well as those with a lot of merits.”

This reminded Jiang Hao of the jade pendant Han Ming had given him, which seemed to also allow one entry without a time limit.

Maybe he could try entering it when he wanted to advance; it could save a lot of cultivation points.

But he needed to be sure of the situation there.

After hesitating, he talked with the man and then learned about which cultivation levels could enter which layers.

This seemed rather useless.

“Here we are, go in,” Guo Feng said in front of a relatively bright cell.

As he spoke, he gave Jiang Hao a piece of jade that allowed free passage.

After thanking him, Jiang Hao looked at the stone door in front of him.

The place was very spacious, and the cells were made of Xuan stone.

This was where serious offenders were detained; if he had been imprisoned here last time, Rabbit’s ‘face’ wouldn’t have been of any use.

Boom!

The stone door opened, and he walked in.

“The person you want to see has arrived,” Guo Feng said.

Boom!

The stone door closed, and Jiang Hao turned to glance back, instinctively assessing whether he could break through the stone door to escape.

Although his cultivation was sealed, he felt that his divine ability, Hidden Spirit Manifestation, was still usable.

With the Primordial Heavenly Saber in hand, breaking through the stone door shouldn’t be difficult.

However, he had to check for any other defensive measures.

After evaluating the situation, he began to observe the prison cell.

The cell was not a simple square but a cave, surrounded by cliffs and magma, with a path leading to a central pillar.

Around the pillar, there were four supporting columns with iron chains that bound the prisoner’s hands and feet in the middle.

Jiang Hao sensed traces of formations everywhere, hidden yet untriggered.

Escaping from here would be extraordinarily difficult.

“You’ve finally arrived,” said a haggard Xuanyuan Tai, sitting on the ground and looking at Jiang Hao.

He was dressed in a Taoist robe, and despite his disheveled appearance, he still exuded an impressive aura.

Sitting there, he seemed extraordinary.

“Did you want to see me?” Jiang Hao approached politely.

Although Xuanyuan Tai was a prisoner, he was not someone Jiang Hao could look down upon.

“It seems you’ve become quite the celebrity in the sect for capturing me, haven’t you?” Xuanyuan Tai asked with a smile.

“Fellow Daoist is joking,” Jiang Hao shook his head to correct him.

“It was Man Long Senior Brother who captured you.”

He didn’t want to get involved, but Xuanyuan Tai’s next words surprised him.

“Do you want to join the Xuantian Sect?”

This question, coming from Xuanyuan Tai’s mouth, was casually spoken yet carried a sense of gravity.

“Don’t be too surprised. I simply took a liking to you,” Xuanyuan Tai continued, looking at Jiang Hao.

“People from the Xuantian Sect are coming, and you might be in trouble. If you agree, even if you are taken away, I can save you. Of course, you don’t have to answer me now. You can even wait until you’re being taken away to respond. My invitation will always stand.”

Appraisal.

Jiang Hao immediately used his divine ability.

【Xuanyuan Tai: Xuantian Sect true disciple, a devotee of the mountain and sea, possesses a special spatial physique. With sufficient preparation, he can use the Qiankun Misplacement divine ability. Learning from Hua Le that you are cultivating the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, he instantly understood your value and wants to take you back to cultivate the ancestral divine flower for him. However, he will not let anyone else know your value. As long as you can help him cultivate the divine flower, he will not only let go of his grudge against you but will also offer you great benefits, ensuring your absolute safety within the Xuantian Sect.】
