Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 314

Chapter 314 Female Demon: Did You Come Just to Mine?

After listening to Xing’s story, Jiang Hao had a familiar feeling.

After pondering for a moment, he realized it somewhat matched what Taoist Shang’an’s master had said.

‘Did he really go to Haotian Sect?’

Jiang Hao was astonished; he had originally thought Shang’an’s master was just trying to scare Shang’an.

Who would want to give away such a promising talent?

If he became famous under his guidance, then he would be known as a world-renowned master, with a reputation spread across all factions.

Now, by sending him to Haotian Sect, not only was his own safety at risk, but if Taoist Shang’an reached the pinnacle of the cultivation world, it would be Haotian Sect’s credit.

And having a Demon Sect master could potentially become a dark chapter in Taoist Shang’an’s history, leading to danger.

Thus, for Shang’an’s master to go to such lengths showed his genuine concern for Shang’an.

‘However, with Haotian Sect’s intervention, Taoist Shang’an should be safe now, though it’s uncertain if he will emerge from Enchantress’s influence.’

Apart from Jiang Hao, the others couldn’t guess the whole story.

However, they were all very interested in Haotian Sect’s involvement.

“Only one elder has gone out, which means it’s not a dangerous major event. It must be related to a certain person or thing,” Liu analyzed.

“I feel the same way.”

Fairy Gui pondered briefly before saying, “If it were a major crisis or opportunity, there would usually be some discussion, or they would travel in secret. This person’s departure is so public, it’s clearly a signal to others that they’re going out for an important matter and to wait for their news.”

Jiang Hao listened and felt that what these people were saying made sense.

Xing also nodded, “It does seem likely, especially since many places in the eastern region are paying attention to it now.”

“By the way, when is the Dao Discussion Conference?” Fairy Gui suddenly asked.

She had mentioned before that she wanted to go and see it.

“It’s still some time away. The invitations probably haven’t all been sent out yet. This time, the Mingyue Sect really wants to make a big impression, but it’s not yet clear what exactly they’re planning. The Mingyue Sect has just settled the matter of that disciple’s allegiance,” Xing said.

“Who ended up taking that disciple in the end?” Liu asked curiously.

“The Sect Leader,” Xing said with a smile.

“I heard that the commotion caused by those people was so great that it disturbed some seniors who had been silent for many years, possibly the Supreme Elder or someone of that level. In the end, somehow, the Sect Leader took them in.”

Jiang Hao thought that the others probably couldn’t compete with the old seniors, and only the Sect Leader could.

However, this also indicated that Chu Jie would have a high status.

After all, the Mingyue Sect was not the Tianyin Sect.

They had many disciples and a lineage that spanned countless years, unlike the Tianyin Sect, which, in just a few decades, aside from the leaders of each branch and a limited number of elders, mostly consisted of disciples of the same generation.

“That’s good, I still have time to go,” Fairy Gui said with a smile.

“Overseas has suddenly become quiet recently. Originally, many people were gathering for something at the bottom of the sea, but then they suddenly withdrew after getting involved. I don’t know why,” Liu said, puzzled.

Watching everyone discuss matters around them, Jiang Hao found he had nothing to say.

What could he talk about?

Should he tell them love stories from Shang’an?

That would be inappropriate.

Or about mining?

Also inappropriate.

Suddenly, Jiang Hao thought of the Earthly Extreme Heart-Devouring Bead and then spoke in a low voice.

“Perhaps before long, the Heavenly Extreme Silent Bead will appear.”

At this, everyone was taken aback.

Fairy Gui and the others had never heard of this bead.

Only Dan Yuan’s expression became grave, “The Heavenly Extreme Silent Bead is going to appear?”

“It’s possible,” Jiang Hao nodded.

“If there are signs of this, inform the righteous sects as soon as possible so they can suppress and seal it,” Dan Yuan advised.

This left Fairy Gui and the others puzzled.

“What is the Heavenly Extreme Silent Bead?” Liu asked.

Don’t ask me, I don’t know either, Jiang Hao thought helplessly.

He really didn’t know; the name had come up when identifying the Earthly Extreme Heart-Devouring Bead, but there was no detailed introduction.

Because revealing the Earthly Extreme Heart-Devouring Bead was not very meaningful and could expose its location, he had mentioned the Heavenly Extreme Silent Bead instead, which sounded mysterious and was not location-bound.

“The silence of heaven and earth, the extinguishing of life, its range of destruction may not be as vast as the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead, but its lethality is certainly greater. Its fame is not as widespread as the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead, not because it’s inferior, but because it was destroyed at the time of its successful refinement, so very few people know of it,” Dan Yuan explained.

Jiang Hao instantly understood that this was how the Earthly Extreme Heart-Devouring Bead had been separated.

The others looked at Jiang Hao with some confusion, feeling that this person knew much more than they had expected.

They talked about many things afterward, though nothing substantial. But it was enough to broaden one’s understanding of the world.

“Alright, let’s end today’s gathering here,” Dan Yuan said, and after that, everyone said their goodbyes and left.

Jiang Hao woke up in a sealed space.

He was underground in the spiritual field, where his array was, and it was relatively safe.

Although he lacked talent in arrays, he was still in the late Nascent Soul stage, especially since he had been diligently practicing arrays recently.

Even a simple array could fend off a Foundation Establishment.

Upon waking, Jiang Hao first checked his surroundings.

Once he was sure there were no issues, he began to review what he had gained from the meeting.

“I’ll have to wait until next time to get paid for the list, and I need to think carefully about what to ask before then. I also learned that Taoist Shang’an will go to the Haotian Sect and that Fairy Gui has already been to Tianbei Mountain, and she suspects I’ve been there too.”

“Then there’s the prodigy; it seems that Tianbei Mountain is the one summoning me. Responding could lead me to Fairy Gui, but it also puts me at risk of entering her sight. For safety, it’s better not to respond.”

Chu Jie and the Mingyue Sect Dao Discussion Conference were already known, not worth much concern.

Even if Chu Jie was strong, it was only related to Chu Chuan. Hopefully, he’ll work hard.

But the biggest gain this time was leaving a mysterious impression with the Heavenly Extreme Silent Bead.

Keep it up, solidify a strong, solitary, and mysterious image.

The future is promising.

In the early morning, Jiang Hao continued mining.

This time, he mined for seven days straight.

On this day, he heard the summon again.

It was the kind that could take him to the destination if he responded.

This time, Jiang Hao had already come to an understanding.

“Does this mean Tianbei Mountain has appeared again?”

Jiang Hao pondered for a moment; he had been in the Corpse Realm for almost four months.

He had obtained quite a few blue bubbles, averaging about eight per month.

Dividing that further, it was about four each for cultivation level and vital energy.

“The mining yield seems higher here, but the mining time is also longer.”

He had successfully transplanted the spiritual herbs over the past seven days.

Concerned about potential conflicts due to different soil types, he had to transplant them; otherwise, he could have just dug a hole and placed the herbs there.

Once he rested, he planned to find Gu Wen and Ding Yu to help him sell the ore.

There had been a lot more ore recently.

But now, since the crowing rooster hadn’t crowed yet, he had to continue mining.

Clang!

Clang!

He mined tirelessly.

“Did you come to the Corpse Realm just to mine?”

Suddenly, a crisp, pleasant, and familiar voice reached him, followed by a faint fragrance. And then, an agitated heart.

The Tianjue Gu poison had lost its effect.

Hong Yuye?
