Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 358

Chapter 358: Did His Cultivation Fall Again?

Qingshan Village.

A certain noble family’s home.

“The immortal has spoken, how could Zhao dare not show respect,” a middle-aged man said to the woman with utmost courtesy.

At this moment, the courtyard was completely changed, and everyone had some injuries.

Even the middle-aged man speaking had lost half of his teeth.

Fear was evident in his eyes.

He had nearly died.

“It’s not about giving me respect,” Zhou Chan said helplessly.

“I didn’t know that my Junior Brother would value Lin Zhi Junior Brother so much that he would send a spiritual pet even more powerful than me for protection.”

The middle-aged man immediately thought of something and said in horror.

“Wasn’t Lin Zhi staying in the immortal gate because of those two young immortals?”

Zhou Chan glanced at him and said:

“It was the head of the lineage who personally requested it, someone we can’t even meet.”

The middle-aged man was almost scared out of his wits.

He had actually sent people to dig up the graves of the parents of such a person?

The middle-aged man immediately knelt in front of Zhou Chan and said.

“Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving my life once again.”

Wasn’t he just reminding him that he was saving him?

Zhou Chan was also quite surprised; Jiang Hao’s rabbit had actually followed them here.

She had heard that this family was planning to dig up Lin Zhi Junior Brother’s grave, and she had come especially to persuade them to abandon their plan.

Unexpectedly, the rabbit had beaten her to it and severely injured everyone.

Without lingering, Zhou Chan left the place, wanting to see how Lin Zhi Junior Brother was doing.

After a short while, Zhou Chan arrived in front of Lin Zhi’s family home.

She only saw an elderly grandmother cleaning.

“Hello,” Zhou Chan greeted with a smile as she walked in.

“Grandma, is this Lin Zhi’s home?”

“Yes, who are you?” Grandma Lin squinted at the visitor.

Her eyes narrowed as if they were covered by wrinkles.

Her dry skin was slightly darkened, her back hunched, and her movements somewhat stiff.

Seeing the elderly grandmother before her, Zhou Chan was somewhat surprised.

It was her first time seeing someone so old, and she was a bit unaccustomed to it.

“I am his Senior Sister, and I wanted to see how he is doing.” Zhou Chan took out some sweets and handed them over:

“These are for you; they should be quite tasty. Are you Lin Zhi’s grandmother?”

“I-Immortal Master?” Grandma Lin was extremely frightened.

She even attempted to kneel and kowtow.

Zhou Chan exclaimed in surprise and immediately helped her up:

“Please don’t do this.”

After helping her to the side, Zhou Chan started chatting with Grandma Lin about Lin Zhi’s family.

The more Zhou Chan heard, the more astonished she became; it was the first time she had heard about Lin Zhi’s mother.

And for the first time, she learned that Lin’s mother had been ill at home, clinging to her last breath while waiting for news, until she heard that her son had joined the Immortal Sect, and then she was willing to depart from this world.

“She must have been very relieved at that time, right? But I think she still had regrets, not being able to see her son become an Immortal with her own eyes,” Zhou Chan said.

“Yes, I remember when she gave me food, it was the most relaxed time she had in these years.It seemed like she could let go of everything,” Grandma Lin said with a smile.

“Actually, I would come over to help her clean whenever I had time. It wasn’t just because the food she gave me helped me through that winter. It was more because she gave me an egg.”

“An egg?” Zhou Chan was puzzled.

“Yes,” Grandma Lin’s face involuntarily showed a smile.

“That was the first time I tasted the flavor of an egg.”

Seeing the smiling elderly woman before her, Zhou Chan felt a profound shock.

A nameless emotion began to grow in her heart.

“Are eggs very rare?” she asked.

“Not really, but eggs can be sold for money,” Grandma Lin said with a twinkle in her eye.

“Who would be willing to eat their own hen’s eggs.”

Zhou Chan stood up, and a faint glow seemed to emanate from her, like the light of compassion.

Then she took a deep breath, sat down again, and looked at the elderly grandmother before her.

The previous compassion and shock were replaced by a sense of respect and equality.

“Grandma, tell me about your experiences. It just so happens that I am waiting for Lin Zhi Junior Brother.”

……

Tianyin Sect.

Duanqing Cliff.

A few days later in the courtyard, Jiang Hao received a message.

The treasure had been taken out.

Gu Qing still hadn’t said anything; she simply handed over the treasure.

Jiang Hao could foresee her fate: her cultivation would fall to Qi Refining, and then she would be sent to work in the mines.

“Xing should already know she’s here and will probably send someone to get her. Just don’t know when they’ll come.”

It wasn’t just Xing; the Heavenly King Mu Longyu would also send someone to take back Mi Lingyue.

However, the message from the Lawless Tower didn’t mention Mi Lingyue; he would have to go and check for himself.

But he decided not to go for the time being.

These past few days, he had cleaned the Nine Heavens Armor and the wrist guards, then put them on.

He also decided not to bother with the Secret Whisper Slate.

The rest was not important.

Primordial Heavenly Saber, Nine Rings of Heaven and Earth, and the two beads.

Not many treasures.

“It looks like it’s time to schedule to hang the rabbit.”

The rabbit produced a Golden Legend bubble.

With just two bubbles, he could obtain a treasure.

He needed to wait and see when the peach tree would produce golden bubble.

“The spiritual energy has recovered to the level it was when I returned.”

Looking at the spiritual energy in the courtyard, Jiang Hao was quite surprised.

He couldn’t understand what Bai Ye was planning.

“Tonight or tomorrow night, I’ll go and have a look.”

Otherwise, he felt uneasy.

Leaving the courtyard, he was greeted by Han Ming.

At this time, he was no longer the youth he once was; at twenty-six years old, he was no longer so naive.

“Senior Brother, I have come to challenge you this time,” Han Ming said seriously to Jiang Hao.

His aura was like a sword, sharp and unmatched.

After several trials, he had far surpassed his peers.

As long as he surpasses Jiang Hao, he can continue to search for the next target.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao smiled slightly.

“Junior Brother is truly remarkable; one can tell he’s extraordinary just by his aura.”

The sparring began.

……

Han Ming’s sword fell after Jiang Hao made five strikes.

At that moment, the Half-Moon No. 4 gently touched the side of his neck.

“Junior Brother, thank you for the match,” Jiang Hao said politely as he sheathed his sword.

Han Ming clenched his teeth and picked up his spiritual sword.

“Has Senior Brother truly reached the perfection of Foundation Establishment?”

“I had a bit of luck on a trip to the Corpse Realm and managed to advance,” Jiang Hao replied.

His cultivation was only one level above Han Ming’s, which was within the normal range.

Afterward, Han Ming snorted coldly, turned his head, and left, but not before leaving a harsh remark.

“Senior Brother, always holed up in the Spiritual Medicine Garden, will eventually be surpassed by me.”

Jiang Hao didn’t say much and took the opportunity to assess Han Ming.

【Han Ming: True disciple of Tianyin Sect’s Duanqing Cliff, possesses superior talent, at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, favored by the Spirit of Mountains and Rivers, and carrying a great inheritance. He has honed his powers by killing enemies in the mountains and rivers several times, and his divine ability to move mountains and fill seas is taking shape. Despite being defeated by you, he is unwilling to accept it and wishes to advance his cultivation to defeat you. He also mentioned, rather resentfully, that it was a fluke.】

He has the divine ability to move mountains and fill seas.

“Indeed remarkable, no wonder they say he has the makings of a chief.”

With top-notch talent among his peers, there are few who can compare to Junior Brother Han.

Diligent, hardworking, never admitting defeat.

Knowing that true strength needs to be honed in real combat.

In the attacks on Tianqing Mountain, Tiansheng Sect, he was never absent.

He always made significant contributions.

He just likes to show off a bit.

After so many years, he still had to say it was just luck.

……

That night.

Jiang Hao stood in front of the Hundred Bones Forest.

He began to search for Bai Ye’s whereabouts.

Sure enough, he was still inside.

But when he sensed the other’s cultivation, Jiang Hao was somewhat astonished.

“What’s going on? Early stage of Nascent Soul?”
