Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 115

Chapter 115: The Terrifying Sect Leader

Early morning, Xuantian Sect.

Ren Shuang was in the square, listening to a senior explain cultivation.

She didn’t turn to leave until noon was over.

These past few days, she had been paying close attention to one matter, which was the progress of some seniors heading to the Tianyin Sect.

She had even asked a Junior Sister to help gather information.

But several days had passed without any news coming back.

What she really cared about was the person Situ Jian had mentioned.

This time, the target was more or less that person, and if he were to be captured and brought back, then Situ Jian would be proven wrong.

In fact, there was no reason not to bring him back, after all, he was just an inner disciple.

His strength was not formidable either.

Even if he had some special abilities, under the pressure of the Xuantian Sect, Fenglei Sect, and Luoxia Sect, he wouldn’t be able to stir up any trouble.

However, just as she had left the plaza not long ago, she suddenly saw a Junior Sister running over in panic.

“Senior Sister Ren, something terrible has happened.”

The young fairy, who appeared quite young, came over in a fluster and said,

“T-there’s news that has come back.”

“What is it? Don’t panic, speak slowly.”

Seeing the other party in such a state, Ren Shuang’s heart also tightened.

“Is there news from the Tianyin Sect?”

“Yes, yes.” Xiao Xue took a few breaths before continuing,

“All the people who went to the Tianyin Sect, except for Senior Brother Dongfang Cheng, w-were all killed. All the stewards and elders, not one survived.”

“N-not one survived?”

Ren Shuang’s eyes widened as she unconsciously repeated the words.

I-if she had let her father go last time, then…

The thought made Ren Shuang feel a chill all over.

The terror of the Demon Sect had once again surpassed her understanding.

But what puzzled her was, did this really have anything to do with that Jiang Hao?

She found it hard to believe.

But there was no one to answer her, perhaps the future would reveal the outcome.

……

Tianyin Sect.

The matter of Xuantian Sect coming to demand a person had completely settled down.

Although some disciples reminisced about the situation that day, and some regretted not witnessing that peerless slash with their own eyes, no one felt the need to hand over anyone anymore.

Some outer disciples were analyzing whether there would be a war with the three major sects in the end and how the combat power of both sides would compare if a fight did break out.

They spoke with authority, with reason and evidence.

In fact, some true disciples also had this thought; they didn’t understand why the best trade-off wasn’t chosen.

Only the twelve main vein holders in the highest positions knew that this was not something they needed to worry about.

The Sect Leader’s slash meant they had to be tough externally.

If they weren’t tough, they would have to leave their position.

Someone tougher would take over.

For decades, just thinking of the Sect Leader made them shiver.

This time their choices were all wrong, and to reassure themselves, each of them sent a large amount of resources to the Contribution Pavilion of the sect.

With ample resources, they were ready for battle at any moment.

This was their way of showing loyalty.

Jiang Hao didn’t know much about this, but he had also managed to avoid this calamity.

Once he was sure there was no trouble, he took the spirit stones he had and went to buy materials for making talismans.

Now he needed to save up four hundred spirit stones to buy materials for making the Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman.

He had to make at least one more.

……

Seven days later.

Jiang Hao looked at the four hundred and sixty-three spirit stones he had earned and went to buy materials again.

Four hundred for the Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman, forty for the Healing Talisman.

Thus, he spent almost all of his spirit stones.

After purchasing these, he returned to the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

“Master, the man-eating woman has been giving Lord Rabbit some face and hasn’t come out recently. Can I go back tonight?”

The rabbit asked while standing on the wooden railing and eating a carrot.

To ensure the Spiritual Medicine Garden had enough people, Jiang Hao had the rabbit patrol at night.

Fortunately, nothing else had happened.

However, the people from the Great Thousand Divine Sect had not been caught yet.

The efficiency of the Hall of Enforcement was somewhat low.

“Master, would you like some?” The rabbit offered a fresh carrot to Jiang Hao.

“The friends on the road are too enthusiastic, insisting on picking such good carrots for Lord Rabbit.”

Taking the carrot, Jiang Hao checked it and found it to be indeed a good one.

However, it was not a spiritual item.

He then handed the carrot back to the rabbit.

“Have an extra meal tonight.”

“Okay.” The rabbit took the carrot and responded instinctively.

Jiang Hao was about to go and tend to the Spiritual Medicine Garden when he suddenly felt a fluctuation of spiritual energy behind him.

Turning his head, he saw someone coming this way, and judging by the strength of the power and the extension of his spirit, it should be someone at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

One person fleeing, four in pursuit.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao walked outside.

Sure enough, after a while, a woman in tattered clothes came flying towards him in terror.

“Why are you trying to capture me? I only killed an outer disciple, why are you making such a big fuss?” The woman couldn’t understand.

It was just an outer disciple at the third level of Qi Refining.

The Tianyin Sect had actually mobilized so many at the peak of Foundation Establishment, carefully investigating and then finding her main body.

Wasn’t the Tianyin Sect said to be a Demon Sect?

Even immortal sects aren’t this twisted.

“Still trying to escape? Do you think the Hall of Enforcement is just for show?”

Four disciples from the Hall of Enforcement attacked with their flying swords.

Four spiritual swords struck, and with a loud bang, the undercover agent from the Great Thousand Divine Sect was severely injured.

However, seeing that she couldn’t resist, she spat out a mouthful of blood, forcing back the four spiritual swords and charged at Jiang Hao.

Since this sect valued its disciples so much, she decided to take one as a hostage.

Maybe there was still a chance.

Just then, Jiang Hao caught her eye, and she immediately rushed towards him.

Seeing someone charging at him, Jiang Hao sighed inwardly.

Is this the undercover agent from the Great Thousand Divine Sect?

Daring to approach him even when severely injured?

Without hesitation, he drew his Half-Moon saber.

Clang!

The first move of the Heavenly Saber, Moon Slash.

The moonlight appeared, slicing towards the woman.

Boom!

She was stopped in her tracks by the slash, and then the attack from behind arrived.

Swoosh!

Four flying swords pinned the Great Thousand Divine Sect’s undercover agent to the ground.

A scream followed.

“I am not willing to give in! I just killed an outer disciple, why are you pursuing me so relentlessly? I am also a disciple of the Tianyin Sect.”

“Save your words for the Lawless Tower. If you cooperate, you might get out sooner. But that’s only if you’re really one of us from the Tianyin Sect, otherwise…”

The disciples from the Hall of Enforcement picked up the person and left.

The leading young man approached Jiang Hao and politely said,

“Thank you, Junior Brother, for intervening.”

“It was nothing.” Jiang Hao replied with a polite gesture.

He had no choice but to act just now; this undercover agent clearly didn’t understand the rules of the Tianyin Sect.

The Tianyin Sect seemed to enjoy sending people to the Lawless Tower, and the Hall of Enforcement seemed to relish capturing people for it.

It was as if there were some kind of reward.

Perhaps the sect needed the Lawless Tower to accumulate power, and the Enforcement Peak needed spirit stones.

Eventually, the group turned and left.

“Using hostages as threats? How could that possibly work?” Jiang Hao sighed to himself.

The Hall of Enforcement of the Tianyin Sect would not be threatened by anyone.

“Master, will there be an extra meal tonight?” The rabbit handed the carrot back to Jiang Hao.

“Let’s save it for dinner.” Jiang Hao turned and entered the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

The threat from the Great Thousand Divine Sect should be over.

Now, it was time to think of ways to replenish the workforce.

Even if people from other places were called back, there would still be gaps.

He would need to find some ordinary people.

How would that happen?

There would likely be people sent out to capture them.

Jiang Hao didn’t manage this, but if people were captured, he would have someone bring a few over.

He hadn’t observed other places closely, but at least those who came to his place could live like human beings.
