Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 370

Chapter 370: Arrival of the Mingyue Sect

Regarding the arrival of the Mingyue Sect, Hong Yuye did not say much.

This was a matter for Bai Zhi, the acting Sect Master.

“Is there anything else?”

“The magical treasure obtained from Gu Qin has been tested. It’s called the Sky Piercing Shuttle, which has the ability to traverse space and conceal itself. It’s temporarily placed at Law Enforcement Peak and can be used to pursue special enemies,” Bai Zhi replied.

“What about the progress with the End of All Things?” Hong Yuye asked calmly.

“For the time being, there’s none. However, we’re still monitoring Tianqing Mountain to see if there are any more contacts with overseas forces. Our people have gone inside the End of All Things, and they should be able to find out who is in contact with Tianqing Mountain,” Bai Zhi said earnestly, bowing her head.

Although she did not understand why the Sect Master was concerned about these matters, she dared not slacken her efforts.

Hong Yuye lowered her gaze and then looked out at the flowerbeds outside, silent for a while before speaking clearly:

“What about Jiang Hao?”

“There’s nothing much, except that recently the spiritual energy in his courtyard has surged. After several investigations, it’s related to Bai Ye, whose cultivation level has been falling continuously for unknown reasons.”

“As a true disciple with merits, he should have been protected from such persecution, and the Hall of Enforcement should have intervened. But so far, he has not let it be known. There’s a certain probability that he’s being threatened by someone behind Jiang Hao.”

“However, there shouldn’t be any enmity between them, so it’s hard to determine at the moment. Since it doesn’t involve undercover agents or traitors, we haven’t investigated deeply,” Bai Zhi explained.

Hong Yuye simply nodded, signaling Bai Zhi to keep an eye on the situation.

After reporting some matters about the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, Bai Zhi withdrew.

……

Back at Baiyue Lake, Bai Zhi felt puzzled.

For instance, the Sect Master’s attitude towards Jiang Hao and the reason for investigating the End of All Things.

However, Mu Qiu came from the End of All Things, which he admitted himself, so it probably wasn’t a lie. Could it be…

“Could it be that the Sect Master has long known that the End of All Things will bring us great trouble?”

Thinking about what the End of All Things was planning to do, it indeed posed a significant threat to them.

Because inside the Tianyin Sect’s Demon Cavern, the dangers were far from trivial.

As for the Sect Master’s attitude towards Jiang Hao, she was also at a loss.

But the Sect Master must have her profound reasons.

Eventually, everything should become clear.

At that moment, a woman in a black robe suddenly appeared.

“Elder Bai, Mi Lingyue wants to see you. She has news about the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, but in return, she wants to meet Jiang Hao.”

……

【Strength+1】

Demons fell, and white bubbles appeared.

Jiang Hao had already killed many demons.

It had been about ten days since Li Bai’s death.

It should now be the end of August.

September was approaching, and he needed to leave.

The rebirth of the peach tree was imminent, and missing it meant waiting another year, which would significantly affect him.

After all, if Nirvana was successful and sprouts appeared, whether the bubbles were gold or purple, they would enhance his strength further.

The incident with Li Bai was significant, and it left him somewhat apprehensive.

He couldn’t miss any opportunity to increase his strength.

After leaving the Demon Cavern, Mu Qiu would also be a threat.

Although it was said at the gathering that the crisis had passed, only he knew that a crisis could come at any time.

If a few more rare Misfortune Bodies appeared, he would rather be suppressed by Hong Yuye than have to give up his possessions.

“It’s not just the rare Misfortune Body that is needed, but also traces of fortune.”

Traces are just traces; they disappear over time.

Realizing this, Jiang Hao felt what he lacked was time.

Whether it was cultivation or the crisis of the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead, time was needed as an aid.

However, spending two months here meant his cultivation and vital energy hadn’t increased much.

But fortunately, he had avoided a calamity.

The remaining threat was Mu Qiu, who was much stronger than him, and he was no match.

He could only take it one step at a time, preparing adequately in the meantime.

……

At noon.

Jiang Hao took out a talisman paper intending to leave the Demon Cavern and draw a Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman.

He adjusted his state and began to write.

Instantly, he remembered the talisman Hong Yuye had given him, its strokes as clear in his mind as if they were etched there.

He couldn’t help but observe and learn.

In the afternoon, the talisman ignited spontaneously.

Failure.

……

The next day.

He continued to draw talismans.

In the evening.

The talisman ignited spontaneously.

Failure.

……

The third day.

Failure.

……

The fourth day.

Failure.

……

Day Seven.

In the evening, the rune emitted a glow.

The rune was completed.

At this moment, Jiang Hao sat down, feeling some discomfort in his body.

The damage to his divine abilities was much more severe than before.

Fortunately, the Withered Tree Meets Spring technique was still effective.

Taking out the rune, Jiang Hao felt that the strokes of the rune were different from before, and the power contained within was also completely different.

【Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman: low-grade, disregards all spells and barriers, randomly teleports the user to any location between thirteen hundred and seventeen hundred li away, can be activated directly with fresh blood or spiritual energy, cannot be interrupted.】

“The range has increased by three hundred li.”

It was a relief that the increase wasn’t exaggerated; if it had increased by a thousand li, his divine ability Clear Heart and Pure Mind might have been destroyed.

“I feel like I’ve improved too much, and my body can’t handle it; I need to enhance my cultivation level to continue alleviating the strain.”

However, he was surprised that it was still considered low-grade.

How terrifying would a high-grade Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman be?

Afterward, he continued to clear out demons.

He used only a dagger, coupled with the full strength of Foundation Establishment.

Occasionally, he would use Merge with Light and Blend with Dust.

……

He cleaned up for three days.

Then he encountered Hu Kai and his group of four.

Thus, he joined the team again and continued the cleanup.

In the following days, it seemed that Hu Kai was also cooperating, not doing whatever he wanted on a whim.

Seeing their condition, Jiang Hao understood that they had been working together for a long time.

……

Mid-September.

The cleanup was finished, and during this period, they obtained some spiritual medicines and stone tablets inscribed with strange characters.

It could be some kind of spell.

Jiang Hao got a Bai Li Xiang plant, very cheap, but it was still a gain.

“There should be nothing left, it’s time to go out, what do you guys think?” Hu Kai asked.

The experience had changed him.

He became more reserved and learned to respect others.

One could say his gains were substantial, which would help him live longer.

No one objected to the suggestion to leave.

After some time, everyone left the Demon Cavern smoothly.

Upon exiting, Hu Kai and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Hao, however, remained vigilant of his surroundings.

Quite some time had passed, and Mu Qiu and the others might have already taken action.

Suddenly, many people were seen flying out on their swords.

This puzzled Jiang Hao and his companions.

After inquiring with people nearby, they learned that today people from the Mingyue Sect had arrived.

“Mingyue Sect’s people are here?”

Jiang Hao was surprised.

Others were unsure of the purpose of Mingyue Sect’s visit, but he was certain.

Firstly, for the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead.

Mu Qiu probably couldn’t survive.

Secondly, for Gu Qing, who likely had to leave as well.

This made things safer for him.

“Shall we go have a look?” Fairy An Jing asked.

The others nodded, and Jiang Hao followed the crowd.

Then the group of five flew on their swords.

……

Arriving outside the sect.

He saw that nearly all the leaders of the twelve branches were present, led by Elder Bai Zhi.

They stood high in the sky, looking into the distance, waiting for the arrival of the Mingyue Sect.

This was the first time Jiang Hao saw Tianyin Sect receiving guests with such a level of formality.

Apart from the sect leader in seclusion, all the important members were present.

Mingyue Sect was indeed extraordinary.

Even though Tianyin Sect had been fighting in the vicinity, they did not dare to act recklessly in front of such a sect.

“Great sects are indeed different,” Jiang Hao couldn’t help but remark.

At that moment, a faint light appeared in the sky, and two figures were approaching from afar.

Dressed in white, they were gentle and elegant, with a majestic aura.

They shone with the light of the sun and moon, vast as the stars.

Bai Zhi stood in the sky, looking at the two figures, the one in the lead was almost beyond belief.

However, the aura of the other quickly disappeared.

Xu Bai had an extraordinary demeanor, and his cultivation level was not apparent.

He approached Bai Zhi and bowed respectfully.

“Xu Bai, accompanied by Junior Brother Fang Jin, has come to disturb the seniors.”
