Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 212

Chapter 212: Feeling Happy to See the Female Demon

Looking at the senior Dan Yuan in front of him, Jiang Hao felt the man’s composure and strength.

It seemed as though nothing could trouble him.

For a moment, Jiang Hao was curious about how strong this person was.

Compared to Hong Yuye, he probably wasn’t a match.

There’s no particular reason, just an intuitive feeling that Hong Yuye seems stronger.

After a moment of silence, Dan Yuan finally spoke:

“The Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead is a malevolent object. Its appearance in the world heralds a great crisis. Its origin dates back to ancient times, and its formation caused the earth to shatter and split apart. It’s not just a small area that’s affected; even a sect like Haotian Sect might not be able to withstand the influence of the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead. The best course of action is to prepare a seal in advance, to possibly escape the disaster. However, there are those who wish to use the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead for their own purposes, and they want to track its whereabouts through us. But it’s better for us not to get involved. To even sense the bead, let alone touch it, would be to fall under its influence. A single encounter could ruin one’s cultivation. If you come across it, it’s best to quickly distance yourself and inform others, so that a sect of Haotian’s caliber can suppress and seal it. It’s better for us to stay away.”

Jiang Hao was quite surprised to find that in the face of such a crisis, Dan Yuan’s first thought was to let the major sects handle it while they hid away.

It felt as if they were letting the immortal sects solve the problem while they reaped the benefits.

But indeed, it was safer that way.

“Alright, if there’s nothing else, we’ll meet again next time,” said Dan Yuan to everyone.

After seeing off Senior Dan Yuan, Jiang Hao also left.

Before he did, the Fairy Gui mentioned she would contact him in a few days.

He nodded to indicate that would be fine, but inside, he was distressed because he couldn’t leave the sect.

Stepping off the stone slab, Jiang Hao looked out from the balcony.

The starry sky was bright, and the silver moonlight draped over the earth like a gauzy fabric.

“I hope Fairy Gui can delay for a while,” Jiang Hao sighed inwardly.

He recalled the recent gathering and the information he had gathered.

“Liu” (Willow) had reliable overseas information, while the others did not.

“Xing” (Star) was in the east and might have some connection with Mingyue Sect.

“Gui” (Ghost) was the same as last time, capable of curse spell, located in the neighboring Tiannan Prefecture, and possibly related to Xuantian Sect, Luoxia Sect, and Tian Sheng Sect.

However, since she didn’t possess the Tiansheng spiritual method, she was likely related to Xuantian Sect and Luoxia Sect.

After all, among the known forces, only they were aware of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower in Tianyin Sect.

Besides that, there was the probing by the Fairy Gui.

“She probably isn’t unable to come to Youyun Prefecture, but rather she wants to force my hand to learn of my whereabouts and strength. For now, there’s no way to overcome this.”

Although he now possessed the Nine Rings of Heaven and Earth, which allowed him to borrow the power of heaven and earth, who would deliver the rings for him? Xiao Li? The rabbit?

They were both too weak. Not to mention their slow speed, if the location changed, he wouldn’t be able to inform them to switch places.

Moreover, some people were still calculating his whereabouts, and if he went out, he would be discovered.

It’s hard to say whether he would be attacked or not.

Lying in bed, Jiang Hao looked at the ceiling with a slight frown:

“There’s also the most important point. Dan Yuan said that someone would come to verify in a while. This is an impending crisis.”

Although the gathering was probed by the Fairy Gui, he also learned that someone would come to Tianyin Sect.

If this person was a powerful being, they would directly discover the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

At that time, as the one who planted the flower, he might also become a target.

He needed to inform Hong Yuye.

After all, she claimed the flower was hers, and Dan Yuan’s tone made it clear that the visitor would not consider Tianyin Sect.

Jiang Hao sat up, facing a dilemma.

“How do I inform Hong Yuye?”

All this time, it had always been Hong Yuye who came to him; he had never called her.

With a sigh, Jiang Hao felt he had to leave it to fate.

However, since the Secret Whisper Slate had just ended the gathering,

Hong Yuye might sense something and come to inquire.

It wasn’t impossible.

After pondering for a moment, he couldn’t think of anything else and got up to make talismans.

Now penniless, he needed to continue accumulating spirit stones.

The Red Lotus Flower cost seven hundred in total, and no blue bubbles appeared.

It was still unknown what level of spiritual medicine seed would produce bubbles.

High-grade spiritual medicine cultivation wasn’t going well either; he could only start with seeds.

…….

In the early morning.

Jiang Hao stopped writing; another Hundred Thousand Swords Talisman appeared.

Lately, he planned to continue learning new talismans.

With the cultivation level he had shown, it was normal for him to occasionally produce one or two better talismans.

He had already locked onto the advanced talisman of the Hundred Thousand Swords Talisman, the Ten Thousand Divine Sword Talisman.

“Speaking of which, I haven’t seen Senior Sister Leng Tian for a long time. Last time the rabbit mentioned someone had come, it must have been her.”

The women who would look for him were limited to Senior Sister Zhou Chan, who delivered rewards, Senior Sister Ming Yi, who was an undercover agent, and Senior Sister Leng Tian, who often bought talismans from him.

Senior Sister Zhou Chan could be ruled out, and the rabbit recognized Senior Sister Ming Yi.

That left Senior Sister Leng Tian.

He just didn’t know why she would come.

Stepping out of his room, Jiang Hao saw the rabbit still staring at the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, its tongue almost touching the leaves.

He stepped forward, intending to kick the rabbit away to prevent any accidents.

Just as he was about to move his foot, he suddenly noticed the rabbit disappeared from its spot.

Then, a white shadow fell from in front of him.

It was the rabbit, bruised and battered, hanging on the wall, swaying in the wind.

Jiang Hao was astonished; this was absurdly fast.

“Is it possible that today it’s your rabbit hanging there, and tomorrow it could be you?”

A calm voice came from behind.

Jiang Hao quickly turned around and saw a graceful figure standing upright.

Today, Hong Yuye was dressed in a red and white fairy dress, with her slender waist and hair neatly arranged, and her eyebrows curved like the delicate wings of a moth.

“Greetings to you, senior,” Jiang Hao said, a hint of joy in his heart.

As expected, she had come.

As for whether the rabbit’s fate today could be his tomorrow, that was something he couldn’t answer.

Affirming it might make the other party really do it.

If he denied it, then Hong Yuye would certainly take action.

“It’s the first time I see you looking pleased to see me,” Hong Yuye said with interest.

Jiang Hao maintained his composure, not wanting her to read his expression again.

Eventually, he got straight to the point:

“I attended the Secret Whisper Slate gathering, and they already know about the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower being in Tianyin Sect. According to Dan Yuan, someone will come to investigate soon. In their eyes, Tianyin Sect is just a minor sect. So, they are coming not just to confirm its existence but to take the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower away.”

“Soon?”

Hong Yuye sat down calmly and asked, “What are you worried about?”

“The other party is powerful. Tianyin Sect might not be able to protect it,” Jiang Hao expressed his concern.

“Then will you protect it?” Hong Yuye asked with a half-smile.

Jiang Hao’s mouth twitched.

“Senior is joking. I’m only at the late stage of Foundation Establishment. I have the will but not the power.”

He obviously couldn’t defend it; he simply didn’t have the strength.

“Do you mean to ask me to take action?” Hong Yuye inquired.

“After all, it’s your flower,” Jiang Hao nodded slightly.

“That’s true,” Hong Yuye looked at the man before her and asked with a smile.

“Are you worried about your flower being taken away, or you being taken away?”

“Of course, the former,” Jiang Hao said, half against his conscience.

The Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower was important to him, but if there was no other way and it was taken, then so be it.

He couldn’t afford to be taken away by unknown entities, as that would likely bode ill.

“Your lie is too clumsy,” Hong Yuye said as she took out a teacup and waited for Jiang Hao to brew tea.
