Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 371

Chapter 371: The Female Demon Seeks Out Xiao Li

From a distance, Jiang Hao could feel that the man in front of Elder Bai Zhi was extraordinary.

His aura was balanced and stable.

And from all aspects, he seemed gentle and refined.

The visitor from Mingyue Sect was indeed exceptional.

He seemed stronger than the middle-aged man from Mingyue Sect he had seen before.

However, what concerned him was the person behind this man.

Fang Jin.

After so many years, he hadn’t expected to see him again.

Unfortunately, Jiang Hao couldn’t let the other party recognize him.

Since Fang Jin had come, he would definitely go to find Chu Chuan.

As long as Chu Chuan was safe, then he was not in danger.

Even if Fang Jin came looking for him, it would not matter.

He was different now than before.

Both his aura and appearance had changed.

At that time, Hong Yuye had shielded everything for him, so it was impossible for anyone to detect his true appearance.

Otherwise, he would have to hide now.

He was originally just a minor character, but due to a few coincidences, he got to know disciples from an Immortal Sect.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have to worry about anything.

But he was still a minor character, and he didn’t dare to climb high or seek connections with the powerful, as that would only bring more trouble.

Minor characters have their own troubles, and so do the powerful.

Most of the troubles at Tianyin Sect, he could handle.

But it would be a different story in a different environment.

“Junior Brother, have you completed the sect mission?” Liu Xingchen suddenly walked over.

“Greetings to Senior Brother Liu.” Jiang Hao performed a greeting.

On the surface, they were a Nascent Soul and a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The gap between them was significant.

“During the time Junior Brother was away, the sect was quite lively,” Liu Xingchen said with a smile.

This puzzled Jiang Hao.

For the usually bored Liu Xingchen to mention liveliness, it must have been very lively indeed.

“Not long after Junior Brother went to the Demon Cavern, Mu Qiu, a senior from overseas, was cleverly defeated by a senior from our sect and was captured and sent to the Lawless Tower. It’s said to be an emergency, and even Elder Bai Zhi personally went there, but it seems the other party was absolutely confident that they could destroy Tianyin Sect,” Liu Xingchen said with some astonishment.

Although Jiang Hao knew why, he didn’t expect Mu Qiu to be sent to the Lawless Tower so soon.

He had been worried for so long for nothing.

He just don’t understand why Mu Qiu had to fall.

He learned of this name through Heavenly King Hai Luo, who didn’t inform the Tianyin Sect, and logically shouldn’t in the future either.

After quickly pondering, he suspect it was Mi Lingyue.

Her psychological defenses collapsed, and she was bound to do something afterward.

And the Tianyin Sect was capturing those targeting the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead, which all knew.

So it’s very likely Mu Qiu’s name was submitted, and just as it happened, he was in the Tianyin Sect.

That’s how he fell.

Jiang Hao felt he might have guessed correctly, but for now, there was no one to confirm his suspicion.

At this moment, Liu Xingchen’s voice continued, “It’s said that the other party wanted to trigger the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead. And they were absolutely confident they could do it. At that time, Elder Bai Zhi was decisive, immediately preparing the Tianyuan Shaping Divine Mirror.”

“Tianyuan Shaping Divine Mirror?” Jiang Hao exclaimed.

He had learned of this mirror from Liu Xingchen, which is why he had always been worried.

It also made him cautious in his actions afterward.

The mirror protected him, as well as others.

The benefits outweighed the drawbacks.

But he had never seen the sect use this mirror; at most, they used the Tianyuan Mirror.

All were crafted with the essence of the Tianyuan Shaping Divine Mirror.

The more essence they contained, the better they were; the less, the worse.

That’s probably why there are so many grades of Tianyuan Mirrors.

“Yes, the Enforcement Hall prepared the Tianyuan Shaping Divine Mirror immediately, paying a huge price to activate it. It truly is an extraordinary treasure. Without any news of that person, the Tianyuan Shaping Divine Mirror directly shone upon Mu Qiu, and even though the person was covered by fortune, they couldn’t hide. They were found instantly, but unfortunately, it was a step too late. By then, he had already been killed, and the killer had just left. That person is also hard to find; our Hall of Enforcement has been trying for a long time with no news. I feel it’s somewhat similar to the person who killed the true disciple of the Hundred Bones Forest. Junior Brother, what do you think?” Liu Xingchen said with a sigh.

Hearing this, Jiang Hao broke out in a cold sweat.

It wasn’t because Liu Xingchen was asking for his opinion, but because the thing that had been worrying him turned out to be the Tianyuan Shaping Divine Mirror.

He was certain that if the mirror shone on him, he would have no way to hide.

No wonder in the sect, whether strong or weak, no one dared to challenge the authority of the Enforcement Hall.

Indeed, there was nowhere to hide.

This meant he was safer, but also that he needed to be even more careful in the future.

But so much had happened in this period.

“Is that Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead really that exaggerated?” Jiang Hao asked deliberately.

“It must be, otherwise why would the people from Mingyue Sect suddenly come over? They probably sensed something.”

Liu Xingchen looked towards Xu Bai and said,

“I heard that this person is also a significant figure in the Mingyue Sect. Everyone was surprised by the arrival of such a person from the south.”

Jiang Hao nodded, then looked at Liu Xingchen and initiated the appraisal again.

【Liu Xingchen: A true disciple of the Haotian Sect, born with the aura of Dragon Slaughter, undercover in the Tianyin Sect’s Enforcement Hall. He is somewhat interested in those three, but their lack of reaction has bored him. He suspects you have something to do with the person who could activate the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead, and his interest in you has grown, especially after getting to know you; he finds his days in the Tianyin Sect much more interesting than before.】

Reading the last sentence, Jiang Hao felt a headache coming on.

How bored could the other person be?

He wasn’t even focusing on the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower anymore, but on him instead.

Initially, he was just there to watch the drama about the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

Now it had changed.

However, with the arrival of someone from the Mingyue Sect, he decided to stay at Duanqing Cliff and continue his normal life.

After saying goodbye to Liu Xingchen, he went to the Enforcement Hall to complete the task.

He received three hundred and eighty spirit stones.

Then he went to the market to buy some talisman materials.

This time he needed materials for the Heavenly Secret Concealment Talisman and for the Thousand Li Teleportation Talisman.

A bundle of ten cost four hundred spirit stones.

He bought three bundles, and the other materials cost him eight hundred in total.

Talisman pens and other talisman papers, cinnabar, etc.

The materials cost two thousand, and he also bought some vital energy pills.

Affected by the curse, he felt that it was good to have some pills on hand even if he didn’t use them regularly.

Healing pills, vital energy pills, one bottle of each cost two thousand spirit stones.

Too expensive.

In the end, he decided to buy them individually, three vital energy pills and two healing pills, costing a thousand.

They weren’t the best pills, but they were still okay.

At two hundred spirit stones each, they were quite expensive, although they weren’t that effective for someone at the Nascent Soul stage, but having them was better than not.

In total, he spent three thousand, and then he sold some talismans.

Although he didn’t have those two big customers from before, the arrival of the Mingyue Sect and the recent movements in the sect made many people aware of the crisis.

Talismans became easier to sell.

With these supplements, he was left with twenty-three thousand three hundred and sixty-seven spirit stones.

……

At night.

Duanqing Cliff outer sect.

Xiao Li was picking white dates under the tree, but even after she finished, she didn’t leave, as if the date tree reminded her of her grandparents.

She pursed her lips, eating the white dates while feeling somewhat distressed.

Suddenly, a fragrance appeared, and she quickly turned her head to look.

For a moment, she thought she saw a red shadow, but then there was nothing.

Scratching her head in confusion, she continued picking white dates.
