Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 313

Chapter 313: Haotian Sect Elders Take Action

In the dead of night, Jiang Hao concealed himself and then took out a tablet to access the public platform.

After half a year, he was finally able to hear news from the outside world.

However, without encountering Hong Yuye, he couldn’t get an evaluation from the powerful, which could have been used in gatherings.

Fortunately, he wasn’t without gains.

Leaving aside the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, Senior Dan Yuan had two tasks for him.

One was to find Tianbei Mountain and comprehend the sixth stele.

The other was about the list for the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead.

The first task Jiang Hao could not complete, but the second he had already done.

Previously, the Heavenly Sea King had given him the list, which he memorized before returning to the other party.

It could be somewhat useful; as for the reward, he hadn’t thought of it yet.

……

After a while.

He arrived at the public area.

It was still the same spot, the same people.

As soon as he arrived, he felt a clear gaze from the Fairy Gui.

This puzzled him.

Turning his head, he saw the Fairy Gui just smiling slightly.

Although confused, Jiang Hao remained calm and did not lose his composure.

Since he wanted to establish an image of being mysterious, aloof, and powerful, he needed to remain unfazed even if the sky were falling.

Once everyone had arrived, they began to pay respects to Senior Dan Yuan.

“Do you have any questions about your cultivation?”

No one spoke.

After all, it had only been half a year, and everyone was too busy to practice, which meant no cultivation issues had arisen.

“Since there are none, let’s talk about the previous tasks,” Dan Yuan looked at the crowd.

“Any news about the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower?”

Everyone shook their heads; this was the most difficult task.

Or rather, in everyone’s mind, the Fairy Gui was the most likely to complete it.

After all, she was the closest.

“What about the task concerning Tianbei Mountain?”

This time Dan Yuan looked at the Fairy Gui.

Everyone knew she had gone in.

“I’ve completed half,” the Fairy Gui said with a smile.

“It seems that the Fairy Gui is determined to win this time,” Liu said with a smile.

“Normally, that would be the case, but in reality, it’s not,” the Fairy Gui turned her head and looked at ‘Jing’ with a smile:

“I wonder if someone will beat me to it.”

Seeing the gaze the Fairy Gui cast his way, Jiang Hao’s expression remained unchanged, but he was extremely surprised inside.

Was this a probe or something else?

How did “Gui” (Ghost) know that he had entered the Corpse Realm?

Jiang Hao’s mind raced, finally focusing on Universe in the Palm.

He had used Universe in the Palm to hand over the Flood Dragon to the other party and recently used Universe in the Palm to send Taoist Shang’an out of the Corpse Realm.

Since the activation of the Human Element Formation was too conspicuous, it was not surprising that she had noticed.

That’s why she had made the connection.

‘It seems I need to be more careful when using Universe in the Palm in the future, luckily the Enchantress has disappeared, otherwise, there would be hidden dangers.’

Jiang Hao couldn’t help but lament that meddling too much could easily bring trouble upon oneself.

In the future, he would have to be more cautious.

Of course, as long as the Enchantress didn’t meet with the Fairy Gui, there wouldn’t be an issue.

At this time, the others also looked over, seemingly surprised by the Fairy Gui’s words.

From the tone of the Fairy Gui, it could be inferred that Jing had also entered the Corpse Realm.

Entering without a word was indeed surprising.

“I’ve been a bit overstretched lately,” Jiang Hao replied noncommittally.

He neither confirmed nor denied.

He would wait and see how things unfolded.

Dan Yuan nodded and then brought up the matter of the list.

Liu, who was well-established overseas, quickly named a few.

Half of the names on Hai Luo’s list were there.

However, the last two names were not known to the other party.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Hao slowly spoke up:

“I’ve heard that an overseas powerhouse named Mu Qiu is also in pursuit of the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead.”

“Mu Qiu?” Liu said, quite surprised.

“Great Thousand Divine Sect’s Mu Qiu in seclusion?”

Jiang Hao did not respond; in fact, he only knew the name and had no idea who it actually referred to.

Who could blame him when King Hai Luo had only given him two words?

“We need to confirm this. I’ll give a response at the next gathering,” Dan Yuan spoke up.

Jiang Hao nodded along with Liu, not in a hurry.

Without a new task, the gathering moved on to the next topic.

“Do you have any news about Gu Qing, Fellow Daoist Jing?” Xing asked.

Jiang Hao shook his head.

Since even Gui said he was in the Corpse Realm, it was not surprising to have no news of Gu Qing.

Xing didn’t mind either.

“How can we make a woman willingly hand over her possessions?” Fairy Gui suddenly asked.

“Shouldn’t you be asking yourself that question, Fairy?” Liu retorted.

“It’s different,” Fairy Gui shook her head.

“Everyone has a different personality, so the methods used must also differ.”

Jiang Hao thought of Enchantress, who was very good at getting men to hand over their belongings.

After chatting for a while, they didn’t come to any conclusion.

Then they began to share their own experiences.

“There’s a peerless genius that has appeared in the Corpse Realm, and I’ve always wanted to meet this genius,” Fairy Gui said.

“A peerless genius?” Dan Yuan was also quite curious.

Geniuses were common, and there were none among them who were not geniuses.

But a peerless genius was rarely heard of.

Normally, there was no such term.

“How genius are they?” Xing was curious as well.

“I don’t know the specifics, but I do know that Tianbei Mountain has summoned him several times. Yet he has not responded,” Fairy Gui answered.

“Tianbei Mountain personally summoned him?” Liu was puzzled.

“Is that very exaggerated?”

“Very much so, considering most who enter the Corpse Realm are geniuses, yet such a summoning has only happened twice. The first time was roughly a hundred or two hundred years ago, and before that, there was no record of it,” Fairy Gui said.

Jiang Hao listened with some alarm.

A summoning?

If he remembered correctly, he had been summoned several times and had ignored them all.

Could it be that Tianbei Mountain was the one summoning him?

If so, he needed to be careful.

If his identity was exposed, danger would surely follow.

He must not go to Tianbei Mountain.

As for being a peerless genius, he knew he was not; his rapid advancement was simply due to external aids.

Such a misunderstanding to be considered a peerless genius.

‘It seems even Tianbei Mountain can be mistaken.’

Xing, upon hearing this, felt quite moved.

“It’s a pity that there are no Corpse Realm Flowers in the east, otherwise Mingyue Sect would definitely send their new disciples to see if they could catch Tianbei Mountain’s attention. Not just Mingyue Sect, Haotian Sect would send people too.”

Jiang Hao: “…”

Were they competing?

“Speaking of Haotian Sect, I recently heard something interesting,” Xing said with some enthusiasm.

“Not long ago, a Demon Sect cultivator requested to meet with an elder of Haotian Sect. However, his status was not sufficient, and his strength was nothing in front of Haotian Sect; he couldn’t even enter their gate. Then, somehow, he decided to force his way into Haotian Sect. As expected, he was suppressed in no time. At that time, it was said that he roared at Haotian Sect, claiming he had important matters to discuss, and if Haotian Sect didn’t listen, they would regret it.”

“And then?” Fairy Gui was very curious.

Xing smiled and continued:

“Such statements are common and couldn’t draw Haotian Sect’s attention, but coincidentally, an elder who was out returned, and she happened to take an interest.

“She then met with this cultivator. Interestingly, just a few days ago, this elder broke through the void and traversed space, leaving Haotian Sect. The entire Haotian Sect doesn’t know what happened to stir that elder’s emotions. Some people are already regretting it, but that cultivator was also taken away, and even if they want to know why, they have no way to find out.”
