Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 300

Chapter 300: Capture Someone in the Late Foundation Establishment Stage

Blood Tide Forest.

After half a month of recuperation, Bu Haicheng’s body had finally improved a lot.

Having been here for over two months, his progress had been incredibly fast.

It was just bad luck that he ran into Ye Dong.

Otherwise, why would he be in this situation?

At this moment, Bu Haicheng was waiting under a giant tree; someone should be coming to meet him today.

Sure enough, a woman approached from a distance.

Her Nascent Soul aura spread out.

Bu Hai Cheng hurried out to greet the visitor:

“Greetings to Fairy Xue Yue.”

The newcomer was dressed in a blue and white fairy robe, her expression cold and tinged with anger.

It seemed she was somewhat reluctant to have been sent here.

“Is Ye Dong really here?” Fairy Xue Yue asked.

“Yes, I have seen him with my own eyes,” Bu Hai Cheng replied earnestly.

“Have you inquired about their situation?” Fairy Xue Yue continued.

“We can confirm that there are six of them in total: Ye Dong alone, and the rest are four at the peak of Foundation Establishment and one in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. The first four have more freedom, while the last one can only mine and take care of the spiritual herbs,” Bu Hai Cheng paused before adding.

“We still don’t know which sect they belong to. But most from the Corpse Realm come from the north.”

“Don’t worry about where they come from; everyone here has a significant background. Knowing too much might make us hesitant,” Fairy Xue Yue said indifferently.

Bu Hai Cheng nodded, agreeing deeply.

The people here, whether in terms of their sect or strength, were not to be underestimated.

Knowing or not knowing, it didn’t matter.

“So, what should we do now?” Bu Hai Cheng asked.

Fairy Xue Yue looked into the distance, pondered for a moment, and said, “First, we need to understand Ye Dong’s purpose. Among those people, who is closest to Ye Dong?”

“It should be the one in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. They usually enter the mine together,” Bu Hai Cheng had already gathered this information.

“Is there any other news about that mine?” Fairy Xue Yue inquired.

Logically, that cave should have gone unnoticed, and they had deduced its connection to the Verdant Heart Ore based on various pieces of information.

Without the discovery of this ore, they might still be searching.

So how did these people find out about it?

“I’ve heard some rumors that it’s easy to become lost in that mine. But the specifics are unknown.”

Bu Hai Cheng said thoughtfully, “There must be something here we don’t know about.”

“Find someone to ask. It just so happens that the one in the late stage of Foundation Establishment has been inside. Try to lure him out and then question him,” Fairy Xue Yue suggested.

This aligned perfectly with Bu Hai Cheng’s thoughts, so there were no issues.

In a few days, they could bring that person over.

Dealing with someone in the late stage of Foundation Establishment wasn’t difficult, but what needed attention was whether the other party had a powerful life-saving treasure.

They couldn’t act too rashly; they had to get close before making a move.

……

Seven days passed.

Jiang Hao realized he had been mining for two and a half months.

By now, he had collected twenty-six blue bubbles.

On average, that was an increase of five points per month.

Too slow, he thought. The mines of the Tianyin Sect surely had more to offer.

After returning, he would have to find a way to infiltrate them.

As for profits, there was no progress.

Currently, he only had fifteen thousand spirit stones, most of which he had earned earlier.

There was still a large portion of ores.

There were also plenty of spiritual herbs.

But the spiritual herbs were not easy to sell; he could only wait until the end.

But could he last until the end here?

Sometimes when Taoist Shang’an was not around, he felt like someone was watching him.

He didn’t know what they were planning.

Lately, mining had been going smoothly; whenever the Enchantress appeared, he would draw his sword and send her off.

That way, he could mine peacefully for the rest of the night.

“I’m about to reach Xiao Mei’s body, and something will happen then. I need to go out and make some preparations. Jiang Hao, you should be careful here. With more ore and spiritual herbs, there will always be people eyeing this place,” Taoist Shang’an kindly reminded him.

Jiang Hao nodded, indicating no problem.

Afterward, Taoist Shang’an set up a simple defensive formation and then got busy with his own affairs.

Once he left, Jiang Hao looked towards the mine, frowning slightly.

“Is the Enchantress about to emerge?”

Actually, this was not what he wanted to see.

The strength of the Enchantress was definitely far beyond his, and once she emerged, his life could be in danger.

Moreover, a being like the Enchantress, if not kept by a powerful person, could easily bring various dangers.

And it was clear that Taoist Shang’an would not restrain the Enchantress.

Hoping for her to change was impossible.

The Enchantress never deceived Taoist Shang’an; she was just attracted to other powerful beings.

“Should I stop it? Or should I flee from here first?”

Jiang Hao’s brow was tightly furrowed.

To stop it would mean becoming an enemy of Taoist Shang’an, whose strength was great and whose possessed body was a whole minor realm higher than his.

If it really came to a fight, it could be dangerous.

Fleeing seemed quite safe.

He could conceal his aura and shield his fate from the heavens.

It shouldn’t be easy for these people to find him.

While he was pondering, suddenly two people appeared in front of the formation.

“Golden Core early stage, Nascent Soul early stage.”

Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised to see them.

Another Nascent Soul had come.

What were so many Nascent Souls doing in the Foundation Establishment area?

However, he remembered that Golden Core.

“Would the fellow Daoist care to come out for a meeting?” Bu Haicheng asked politely.

“Sure.” Jiang Hao nodded.

He just wanted to see what these people were after.

Even if it came to a fight, there was nothing to worry about.

This place was not the Tianyin Sect; there was no need for restraint in combat.

As long as they didn’t attract the attention of Tianbei Mountain, it would be fine.

He just didn’t know how many he would have to kill to get noticed, but a normal skirmish would definitely not be a problem.

“Uh…”

Bu Haicheng wanted to speak further to persuade the other party but didn’t expect him to agree so readily.

It was somewhat unexpected.

Jiang Hao stepped out of the formation, his gaze landing on the two people:

“Do you wish to step aside to talk, or shall we speak here?”

“Let’s step aside.” Bu Haicheng said.

Things were progressing smoothly, but the smoothness made him anxious.

It felt as if the other party was the one looking for them.

After moving away a bit, Jiang Hao asked, “What do you want to know?”

“We are well aware of Ye Dong’s character. As long as you help us, we can help you break free from his clutches,” Bu Haicheng said.

At first, Jiang Hao was a bit puzzled, but then he understood.

Ye Dong was not a good person; it seemed they thought he was being coerced, Jiang Hao thought to himself and then asked, “What do you want me to do?”

“What’s in the mine?” Fairy Xue Yue asked.

“There are ores, and a person waiting to be resurrected, but I don’t know the specifics,” Jiang Hao said.

“A man or a woman?” Xue Yue asked again.

“A woman.” Jiang Hao replied.

This news surprised them both.

Could it be that Ye Dong came here for a woman?

Impossible.

How could Ye Dong possibly come here for a woman?

Most likely, this woman had something special about her.

“Is she strong?” Fairy Xue Yue asked again.

“Not strong,” Jiang Hao shook his head.

At least not strong now.

Seeing the confusion on their faces, Jiang Hao asked, “Are you also interested in the mine?”

“There are some things you shouldn’t know, don’t ask,” Fairy Xue Yue said coldly.

Jiang Hao frowned and said,

“I’ve answered so many of your questions, it’s only fair that you answer some of mine.”

“I’ll answer them for you,” Bu Haicheng quickly intervened to smooth things over.

“If the fellow Daoist knew, it would be difficult for you to leave us. Alright, now I’ll answer your first question. We are indeed interested in the mine, but not for any woman. We are after a treasure within the mine.”
