Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Being Mocked

The sect missions have been announced.

Although Jiang Hao didn’t show it, he was very concerned about it, so as soon as he finished collecting spirit bubbles, he immediately went to the base of the Hall of Enforcement Peak.

This is where missions are announced.

Of course, it wouldn’t be long before someone would notify him.

But he didn’t want to wait, as it was of great significance to him.

In a short while, he stood in front of the announcement board and saw his own name.

【Duanqing Cliff’s Jiang Hao: Cleanse the Demon Cavern.】

“Cleanse the Demon Cavern? A team mission, then who are the others?”

He quickly saw the names of the other four people.

Tianhuan Pavilion’s Qing Xue.

Tianhuan Pavilion’s Lou Feng.

Leihuo Peak’s Xinyue.

Bingyue Valley’s Zheng Shijiu.

“Two from Tianhuan Pavilion, I wonder what their cultivation levels are.”

Looking at the names, Jiang Hao began to ponder.

He hadn’t had much contact with Leihuo Peak and Bingyue Valley, so it was unlikely he would make enemies there.

But the two from Tianhuan Pavilion put a lot of pressure on him.

Finally, he checked the time; it was the end of next month.

He had a month and a half; Forty-five days.

“It seems I can only advance to the late stage first, then consolidate my cultivation and save up spirit stones for a month to buy a powerful magical treasure. The remaining half month will be used to get proficient. Then, as for techniques… the Primordial Heart Sutra doesn’t have anything suitable, so I’ll ask Master.”

Although Master didn’t have much faith in his cultivation talent, he would still help to some extent.

This trip to the Demon Cavern, Tianhuan Pavilion would definitely do something, and Master understood that, so there was a possibility he would help him.

The Demon Cavern was a blessed land where many strong cultivators from the sect practiced.

It was said that the cave used to be the domain of demons, and now the demons were sealed at the deepest part, and even if they could escape, they only had Foundation Establishment cultivation.

The strong cultivators of the sect wouldn’t care about these little pests, so inner disciples were needed to clean it up.

The cleaning time was roughly one to three months.

It all depended on progress.

After coming out, rewards would be given based on achievements.

Actually, it was also a good place for training.

If he hadn’t offended Tianhuan Pavilion, Jiang Hao would have been quite willing to go.

Because killing demons not only allowed him to gain practical experience but also to collect spirit bubbles.

Afterward, he turned and left, planning to first inquire about the strength of these people to better prepare himself.

“Junior Brother, we meet again.”

As Jiang Hao was leaving, a girl in blue clothes jumped in front of him.

“Senior Sister Ming Yi,” Jiang Hao said politely.

This person was a candidate for Saintess of the Tiansheng Sect, with early Golden Core cultivation.

She was also an undercover agent.

Extremely dangerous.

Fortunately, after a purge of traitors last time, these people had become much more subdued.

Moreover, the appearance of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower made them afraid to act rashly.

Everyone was worried because everyone knew it was a trap.

Except for that woman, no one dared to take the bait.

“Junior Brother is really polite. I just saw your name, are you going to the Demon Cavern?” Fairy Ming Yi said with a smile.

Ming Yi Senior Sister had a sweet appearance and a sunny smile, but Jiang Hao knew she was ruthless and cunning.

It was best not to offend her if he could avoid it.

With her early Golden Core cultivation, she was like an insurmountable mountain pressing down on him, not an opponent at all.

“Yes. I’m going to the Demon Cavern to carry out a mission at the end of next month.” Jiang Hao nodded without thinking further.

“Here, take this. I just got it, consider it a thank you for your help a while ago. Oh, and if I have any trouble next time, I’ll continue to seek out Junior Brother. I hope Junior Brother won’t refuse.”

After saying this, Fairy Ming Yi placed a piece of paper in Jiang Hao’s hand and then walked away briskly.

She didn’t say anything more.

After a moment of confusion, Jiang Hao opened the paper and his eyebrows lifted in delight.

The undercover agent was really good to him.

The paper listed the strengths and a brief introduction of those four people.

‘Tianhuan Pavilion’s Qing Xue: Late Foundation Establishment, close to breakthrough, specializes in Tianhuan Celestial Immortal Dao; the colder she appears, the easier it is to fall into her charm.’

‘Tianhuan Pavilion’s Lou Feng: Mid Foundation Establishment, close to breakthrough, specializes in Tianhuan Fallen Immortal Dao, can subtly plunge one’s mind into chaos.’

‘Leihuo Peak’s Xinyue: Early Foundation Establishment, specializes in Skyfire Thunder Sword, excels at invoking heavenly thunder, counters Tianhuan Pavilion’s Fallen Immortal Dao.’

‘Bingyue Valley’s Zheng Shijiu: Late Foundation Establishment, specializes in Thousand Mile Ice Seal, decisive in killing, looks down on Tianhuan Pavilion.’

Looking at these four people, Jiang Hao felt a sense of strangeness.

The first two people will definitely deal with me, but the latter two, it feels like they’re specifically there to counter the first two.

“Is someone helping me?”

Jiang Hao’s first thought was of his master.

Although he wasn’t of great value, he still had some worth.

Thus, a balance was formed, which neither caused a fallout with Tianhuan Pavilion nor made it difficult to protect their own disciple.

The hatred of the Pavilion Master from Tianhuan Pavilion towards him depended entirely on whether they could find a new cauldron.

If they found one, they wouldn’t do anything further, but if they didn’t and their breakthrough failed, then Jiang Hao would have to flee for his life.

Or he could reveal his cultivation level and have his master and sect intervene.

It’s just not clear whether it would be worth it.

After all, he had one chance to cheat death.

Revealing his cultivation would definitely lead to an investigation and even prying into his secrets—whether the Demon Sect could tolerate him was uncertain.

But as for what exactly would happen if he used his chance to cheat death, he couldn’t be sure.

There was a definite risk.

“Hey, isn’t this Junior Brother Jiang Hao from Duanqing Cliff?”

A man approached from the opposite direction, teasing Jiang Hao as he looked at him.

The man had disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes, exuding an inexplicable ferocity.

He was at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

“Senior Brother is?” Jiang Hao asked politely.

“Next month, we’re heading to the Demon’s Cave together. I hope Junior Brother comes well-prepared,” Lou Feng said, coming up to Jiang Hao and patting his shoulder mockingly.

“With your physique, you could easily die in there. Don’t blame Senior Brother for not saving you if that happens.”

After saying that, he laughed heartily and left.

Jiang Hao lowered his eyelids, realizing who the man was.

Lou Feng from Tianhuan Pavilion.

It seemed that even if the Pavilion Master didn’t act, the others below would find opportunities to make a move.
