Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 351

Chapter 351: Traces of Destiny

“How come you are here?”

Out of curiosity, Gu Qing asks.

Jiang Hao looks at her without speaking.

“They don’t think I’m close to you, so they sent you to interrogate me, do they?” Gu Qing sneers.

“Are the people of the Demon Sect so naive? What’s a Foundation Establishment completion worth? Do you know why I wanted to get close to you? It was to kill you. Too bad I was a day late. If it had been a day earlier, I could have recovered more. And I wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

Speaking of this, Gu Qing finds it hard to accept.

She escaped from the Mingyue Sect and evaded overseas pursuers, never thinking she would become a prisoner here.

Just a remote sect, she couldn’t understand.

Appraisal.

Jiang Hao knows that saying anything is useless, so he first checks to see if he can identify anything.

【Gu Qing: A fallen immortal from the Fallen Immortal Race, her cultivation is being dissolved and absorbed by the Lawless Tower, leaving only the power of the late stage of Nascent Soul. She escaped the pursuit of the Mingyue Sect, avoided overseas assassins, and thought she could recuperate in the Tianyin Sect, but ended up as a prisoner. She is resentful, and with that in mind, she wouldn’t let the Tianyin Sect gain anything, preferring death instead. She regrets not killing you earlier; otherwise, she could have taken control of the Spiritual Medicine Garden sooner. With her cultivation restored, she wouldn’t have been captured so easily.】

Prefer death?

Is she that determined?

Jiang Hao can’t find anything to break her resolve at the moment.

From the feedback of his divine ability, she has no weaknesses.

“Speak, aren’t you here to interrogate me? Go ahead and ask, see what you can get out of me,” Gu Qing sneers at Jiang Hao.

“Yeah, why don’t you gesture to her and see, or if that doesn’t work, gesture to me,” Mi Lingyue says, looking for trouble.

Jiang Hao remains silent.

He hasn’t said a word since he entered.

He glances at Mi Lingyue and then turns to leave.

He’ll have to think of another way.

“Ah, why are you leaving? Foundation Establishment kid, stop, at least give an opinion,” Mi Lingyue says.

After Jiang Hao leaves, she turns to Heavenly King Hai Luo and says:

“Your king has been defeated this time.”

“Where does my king come from? I’ve been dominant all my life, all weaknesses are a joke, I was just playing with you. Only fools would be fooled. Were you fooled?”

Heavenly King Hai Luo stares at Mi Lingyue with pride.

Mi Lingyue: “…”

“Little bastard.” Zhuang Yuzhen says coldly.

“Old coot, you want to challenge me? Come out and fight one-on-one, I’ll use only one hand,” Heavenly King Hai Luo says arrogantly.

At this moment, Zhuang Yuzhen looks at Mi Lingyue and kindly says:

“Kid, I advise you not to be as reckless as that little bastard. Some people are really not to be trifled with.”

“Not to be trifled with, huh?” Mi Lingyue didn’t believe it.

“But so far, he hasn’t been able to make me submit.”

Their conversation made Gu Qing feel strange.

She had been here for a long time, and there had been quite a few interrogators.

But none of the few here had any regard for them, whether it was through beating or other means.

They had never bowed their heads in submission.

However, after this Foundation Establishment arrived, everyone’s attitude changed.

It was subtle as if they were all somewhat wary of him.

What was going on?

……

Jiang Hao left the Lawless Tower.

The black-robed fairy did not appear.

He was allowed to interrogate without a time limit.

He just needed to report back to them whenever he had results.

With that, Jiang Hao also breathed a sigh of relief.

Let it be for now.

Returning to the courtyard, Jiang Hao began making talismans.

While the inflated prices were still in effect, he wanted to sell more.

Once everything calmed down, he could use the extra spirit stones to buy two high-grade spiritual medicine seeds.

Just to test the waters.

He didn’t dare buy too many; the previous fostering of spiritual medicines was a lesson learned.

If those spiritual medicines weren’t his, Gu Qing wouldn’t have been so reckless either.

Ultimately, possessing things that didn’t match one’s current cultivation level could easily lead to trouble if seen by others.

It was better to plant just one or two seeds in the courtyard; more would be unsafe.

Over the next three days, Jiang Hao went about his work in the Spiritual Medicine Garden as usual.

Only, the spiritual energy in the courtyard began to rise once again.

This surprised him.

In just a few days, it had recovered to its previous state.

With doubts in his mind, he appraised the spiritual medicines sent from the Hundred Bones Forest.

【Qianyun: Can lead and unblock spiritual energy, useful for treating chaotic qi and can also be used to enhance cultivation. It is Bai Ye’s proud creation, using invisible methods to gather spiritual energy for you.】

“Hmm?”

Jiang Hao was astonished.

The spiritual energy in the courtyard was Bai Ye’s doing?

Thinking back to the damage to the spiritual medicines and the concentration of spiritual energy in the courtyard.

It indeed matched up.

“What is he trying to do?”

Jiang Hao couldn’t understand.

This was more troublesome than casting a sealing spell on him.

Previously, he could clearly understand the other party’s intentions, but now he had no clue about their behavior.

Was there poison hidden behind it, or something else?

He could only wait a while before making another trip to the Hundred Bones Forest.

At that moment, Jiang Hao felt a vibration from the stone slab.

Tonight, the gathering would commence.

After three months, the gathering was starting again.

It was a good opportunity to try and send out information about Gu Qing and Mi Lingyue.

Gu Qing owed “Xing”, and if Mi Lingyue wasn’t preempted by “Gui”, he could receive a reward.

Even just for gathering information, it was worth it.

After all, the information from “Liu” came from overseas and was very strong.

There wasn’t much need to prepare for this gathering.

At midnight, Jiang Hao entered the stone slab on time.

This time, the four of them arrived almost simultaneously.

And Dan Yuan at the top gradually appeared.

“Senior Dan Yuan.”

The four of them performed the greeting ritual.

“Do any of you have questions about your cultivation?” Senior Dan Yuan asked with a smile.

Jiang Hao and the others were already sitting cross-legged; cultivation questions weren’t always present.

This time, coincidentally, nobody had any.

“Then, does anyone have news about the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower?” Dan Yuan asked again.

The others shook their heads.

“Then let’s talk about the new task,” Dan Yuan looked at the four and said:

“The emergence of the Calamity Bead signifies that great destiny is to return to the heavens and the earth. The Mingyue Sect has opened the Dao Discussion Conference, likely because they have sensed something. Now, someone wants the location, the approximate place where the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead emerged. They want to use some minor traces to do something. I will pass on a secret technique to you, which can simply confirm the traces of great destiny.”

“Can great destiny really be captured?” Liu suddenly asked.

Clearly, he had also heard such news before.

Dan Yuan shook his head.

“It cannot, but the traces can be utilized.”

“Senior, if I also want it, will there be a conflict?” Xing asked cautiously.

“There will be no conflict,” Senior Dan Yuan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xing looked at everyone and said: “Then, if there is news, it can also be sold to me, and the price needed will be as close as possible to what Senior Dan Yuan offers.”

In the end, he looked towards Dan Yuan, “What price must I pay for the senior’s secret technique?”

Dan Yuan, with a smile, replied, “No rush. Perhaps soon there will be something I’ll need your help with.”

“Alright.” Xing nodded without hesitation.

Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised; Xing came from the Mingyue Sect, which surely had methods to trace fortunes.

There could only be two possibilities: either Xing’s status was not high enough, or it would be inappropriate to affect the normal transactions of the gathering.

It was probably the latter.

However, the fortune of the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead should have dissipated within the Tianyin Sect.

The traces would likely be around the area.

This meant trouble for the Tianyin Sect.
