Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 139

Chapter 139: I Hope They Don’t Provoke the Female Demon

The moonlight, like a scythe of death, struck at him.

He thought he was going to die.

Fear spread from his heart, quickly enveloping his entire body.

Regaining his senses, he felt a sharp pain in his neck.

Clutching the wound on his neck, he lowered his once proud head, his voice trembling:

“Please… please forgive me, senior.”

Elder Chen stood frozen nearby, thinking it odd for someone at the Foundation Establishment level to purchase Azure Red Sky.

Recalling his previous attitude, he felt anxious and uneasy.

But the most shocked was Shi Xin.

Was this the same person he had been sharing a stall with?

Someone who could make a Golden Core expert bow with a casual slash.

Jin Yuan’s brows were deeply furrowed as he looked at Jiang Hao, already planning to flee.

However, before he could make a move, the full presence of a Golden Core completion expert suppressed him.

The terrifying power left him immobile.

Jiang Hao looked at him, stepping forward, releasing his full Golden Core aura, overpowering the other.

Two steps away, he reached Jin Yuan and placed a hand on his shoulder.

Then, he applied a gentle force.

Bang!

Jin Yuan knelt down heavily.

Only then did Jiang Hao pick up the Half-Moon and place it on the other’s shoulder:

“Are you from the Great Thousand Divine Sect?”

“Who are you?” Jin Yuan, feeling the immense pressure, twisted his face and asked.

Pfft!

The blade’s shadow flashed from the Half-Moon, slicing across the other’s neck.

Blood poured out.

Jin Yuan grunted but did not submit.

“Where is Zuo Lan?” Jiang Hao asked again.

“Zuo Lan?” Jin Yuan looked at Jiang Hao, realization dawning.

“So it’s you? You’re the one who lured Po Lang to Luo City and killed him? Do you know who the things you took belong to?”

“Belong to whom?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Do you think I would tell you? One day he will come for you. Even if you, a mere Golden Core, survive, you’ll still die,” Jin Yuan sneered.

“But you might not live that long. We’ve made many preparations against you. Soon, you will face Zuo Lan. That will be your end.”

“At Heavenly Lake?” Jiang Hao asked.

At that moment, the other seemed to hesitate.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao wasted no more words. He executed the first form of the Heavenly Saber, Moon Slash.

The blade rose and fell.

Jin Yuan was even somewhat astonished.

He couldn’t believe the other’s decisiveness, killing without warning.

After two more slashes, Jiang Hao took the other’s storage bag.

Checking it, he found it similar to the one he got from Zuo Lan’s clone, with not much inside.

In total, there were only two hundred spirit stones.

The rest were just ordinary cultivation pills.

After taking the spirit stones, he tossed the two storage bags to Chun Yu and Tie Dan nearby.

They were confused but still accepted the items.

At this point, Jiang Hao turned to Shi Xin:

“Do you plan to take disciples?”

“Ah?” Shi Xin was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood.

“Yes, I think these two youngsters are quite good.”

Jiang Hao nodded, then turned to Chun Yu and Tie Dan:

“Become disciples.”

After confirming their apprenticeship, Jiang Hao discussed Jin Yuan’s matter, then bid farewell to Shi Xin and the others. There were no clear clues here; he needed to find Zuo Lan.

“W-wait a moment.” As Jiang Hao turned to leave, Tie Dan seemed to muster courage and asked.

“Will we ever see the immortal again?”

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Hao calmly said:

“If I pass by here on my next trip, I will come to see your master. If you haven’t gone out, there might be a chance to meet again.”

With that, Jiang Hao turned and left.

Tie Dan knelt down, probably in gratitude for the life-saving grace.

Chun Yu also knelt and gave a deep bow.

Jiang Hao sighed in his heart.

If he came out again…

If Hong Yuye wasn’t with him, he wouldn’t come out again.

Unless his own strength reached above Nascent Soul, making it safe to come out, he wouldn’t leave the Tianyin Sect.

If he did reach the point where his cultivation was sufficient to come out, whether these two would still be alive by then was uncertain.

Shi Xin had a chance to advance to Golden Core, and as disciples of a Golden Core expert, the two had a chance to be a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

But to go further was almost impossible.

Their lifespans were close to two hundred years.

Two hundred years, if they lived well, they should be able to meet again.

His promise to return served to protect these two, as well as Shi Xin.

The rest is up to their own fate.

At this moment, watching Jiang Hao leave, Shi Xin was filled with emotion.

It turned out that a powerful figure had always been by his side, no wonder there were so many things and the Heaven Replenishing Pill.

Chen Baixiao, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the dead Jin Yuan, he felt a bit scared.

If the other party had the intention to kill him, then he would already be dead.

For a moment, he decided that he should speak more kindly to others in the future.

Otherwise…

……

Afterward, Jiang Hao took a trip from one end of the street to the other.

His arrival was bound to be guarded against by Zuo Lan, so there was no need to hide.

He killed three of the opponent’s clones.

One of them was at the early stage of the Golden Core.

Still, he was cut down by a single strike.

Apart from three hundred spirit stones, there was no other gain.

The opponent didn’t speak at all, the only one said that no matter how many he killed, it was useless.

Sooner or later, he would be killed by his main body.

“With these three hundred, I have a total of three thousand eight hundred spirit stones. After deducting the three thousand for the Enforcement Peak, I still have eight hundred left.”

These eight hundred were not a small amount; if it wasn’t for robbing and killing, he would have to sell quite a few spirit talismans to earn that much.

With good market conditions, a few days would suffice, but with poor conditions, it could take over half a month.

“It seems I need to make a trip to Heavenly Lake, but it’s a place everyone knows about, so it’s hard to say if I can find Zuo Lan, moreover…”

Jiang Hao walked on the road, his brows slightly furrowed.

“Jin Yuan just said that Zuo Lan would kill me, it looks like he started preparing from the moment he got the first stone tablet from Hong Yuye? They probably don’t know about Hong Yuye’s existence, otherwise, why would they prepare anything?”

“But Zuo Lan should also be at the Golden Core stage, what can he use to kill me at that level? Unless…” Jiang Hao was somewhat worried:

“Unless he wants to advance to Nascent Soul.”

Once he advances to Nascent Soul, the threat to him would be much greater.

Currently, he had quite a few trump cards, but he had never faced someone at the level of Nascent Soul.

Although he wanted to try when he was feeling confident, he would refuse if it really came to that.

There’s nothing wrong with being alive; there’s no need to risk one’s life out of overconfidence to take on a challenge.

“It’s a pity that Clear Heart and Pure Mind can’t be used, otherwise I could try to comprehend the third form of the Heavenly Saber, to add another trump card.”

Later, Jiang Hao returned to the inn.

He actually had another question.

That was whether Po Lang was drawn to Luo City by the first stone tablet.

In other words, it was done by Hong Yuye.

“Was it a coincidence that it was chosen to be in Luo City?”

Jiang Hao couldn’t find the answer, even if he asked Hong Yuye, he probably wouldn’t get it.

“Senior, the backyard has been cleared out,” the innkeeper informed Jiang Hao as soon as he saw him.

After expressing his thanks, Jiang Hao asked softly,

“Did any of the guests have any complaints?”

“No, currently all the residents have not shown any dissatisfaction,” the innkeeper replied.

Jiang Hao nodded, then he went to the backyard and found that all the useless things had been cleared out.

A pavilion had also been built.

Flowers and plants were planted around it.

He walked in and steadied himself, carrying a faint fragrance.

It was quite acceptable.

“The rest is to appraise the seeds, plant them, and when I have time, visit everyone, hoping they won’t offend Hong Yuye.”

“I also need to make a trip to Heavenly Lake tonight.”
