Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 377

Chapter 377: How to Contact the Undercover Agent

“It seems he indeed has some methods,” Xu Bai nodded.

After Gu Qing was sent to rest, Fang Jin finally spoke up.

“Senior Brother, are you going to make contact with that Jiang Hao?”

“No need,” Xu Bai smiled.

“Junior Brother should remember what our purpose for this trip was. Now that all our objectives have been met, there’s no need to complicate matters. Our cooperation with Tianyin Sect has been very pleasant, and there’s no need to dilute that pleasure because of a few words from Gu Qing.”

“Moreover, Gu Qing telling us this doesn’t mean she doesn’t have her own motives. And don’t you find it strange, Junior Brother? How can an ordinary inner disciple freely enter and leave Lawless Tower? I think Tianyin Sect would also prefer we don’t know too much.”

“Whatever a sect like ours does, they need to be wary. That is to say, it’s definitely not pleasing. Tianyin Sect is somewhat different; perhaps there’s still a chance for cooperation.”

“I see,” Fang Jin nodded.

“One must handle the degree of involvement with care; being shrewd doesn’t necessarily mean being the smartest. We already know quite a lot,” Xu Bai said with a smile.

Fang Jin was a smart person and could instantly absorb this information.

“We’ll be leaving in a couple of days. Junior Brother, have you found that person?” Xu Bai asked.

“I have. He refused to go to Mingyue Sect,” Fang Jin said.

“People have their own aspirations; don’t force these things.”

“I understand.”

……

Two days later, the people from Mingyue Sect left.

Jiang Hao also knew that Gu Qing had been taken away by them.

Their purpose for coming was probably for the outbreak of the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead, as well as for Gu Qing.

Perhaps there were also traces of destiny involved.

Fortunately, none of it affected him throughout the process.

Although the traces of destiny, the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead, and Gu Qing were all somewhat related to him.

However, one should be able to remain detached.

Even if some things are touched upon, they should be within the realm of what can be endured.

The more things one does, the more likely it is to be noticed by others, which is inevitable.

As long as it doesn’t truly affect him, it’s fine.

Because as time passes, one will fade from everyone’s sight.

……

A few days later.

Early October.

Jiang Hao suddenly felt the stone slab beneath him vibrate.

He thought it was a gathering, but it turned out to be a message:

“East, Ancient Tower, Gu Dongqing.”

“West, Astronomical Academy, Luo Li.”

“South, Xuantian Sect, Xuanyuan He.”

“North, Xueling Sect, Lingluo Xueyu.”

This was a message from Senior Dan Yuan.

“Sending the message now means there won’t be a gathering for a while, or is this something that doesn’t need to be discussed at a gathering?”

Jiang Hao was somewhat puzzled, but this transaction was not a normal one.

So it made sense that it didn’t need to be discussed at a gathering.

These names were the answers he had previously inquired about.

People with a good understanding of languages.

Candidates were provided from all four directions: east, west, south, and north.

“Looking at it now, only Xuanyuan He from the Xuantian Sect is within reach. The others are too far away.”

He had never heard of the Ancient Tower in the east.

The Astronomical Academy should be the sect where Gu Wen from the Corpse Realm belonged, which is also a major sect.

It would also be difficult to approach.

There’s no need to mention the north.

For someone from the Tianyin Sect to go north would be like walking into their own demise.

The people from the Corpse God Sect must already be waiting for them to fall into the trap.

While the Xuantian Sect in the south is far, he had heard of and encountered similar people before.

Like Xuanyuan Tai.

They both have the surname Xuanyuan, so logically, they should know each other.

“Although I could find Xuanyuan Tai, I can’t leave, and even if I could, it wouldn’t be possible to go to the Xuantian Sect. Moreover, it would be easy for Senior Dan Yuan to notice. How can I get him to help me voluntarily? To get him to teach me on his own initiative?”

This matter couldn’t be rushed.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Hao decided to try to lure the other party.

He wasn’t without a way to contact Xuanyuan Tai.

Because the Tianyin Sect also had undercover agents in the Xuantian Sect.

But so far, he had never met her, and what he could confirm at the moment was that the person was called Hua Le.

“Judging by the name, she might be a fairy, but I need to find out which lineage she belongs to.”

This was going to be troublesome because he didn’t know who to ask and could only pay more attention.

Take it slow, as long as he met more people, someone would know who Hua Le was.

At this moment, Jiang Hao came to the peach tree and picked a peach to taste.

It was very sweet.

After tending to the spiritual medicines in the Spiritual Medicine Garden, the rabbit and Xiao Li came back again.

They were discussing something.

“Senior Brother Jiang’s courtyard has been burgled,” Xiao Li said.

This put Jiang Hao on alert.

Someone had entered his courtyard?

Indeed, one shouldn’t plant too many spiritual medicines. Not only could problems arise, but they could also be easily taken by others.

He needed to be vigilant.

Especially since he hadn’t noticed, but Xiao Li had.

Given that Xiao Li was a True Dragon, it wasn’t surprising that she could detect it.

“A thief?” Cheng Chou was surprised and doubtful.

“Yes, I counted today, and one peach is missing. It must have been stolen by a thief,” Xiao Li said indignantly.

Jiang Hao, who had been listening seriously, was instantly stunned.

“…”

……

Xuantian Sect.

In a courtyard filled with numerous spiritual medicines, Xuanyuan Tai sat on the ground, staring blankly at a golden seed in front of him.

“How exactly can I get it to grow?”

Their Xuanyuan family had been trying for who knows how many years, but they had never been able to grow this ancestral divine flower.

It was said in their clan that if one could successfully cultivate it, they would receive the ancestral heritage.

Unfortunately, despite being passed down for so many years, no one had found a way to grow the divine flower.

It looked like a seed, but it was as hard as a stone.

Some in their clan were already saying that it was just a joke from their ancestors.

Or perhaps it was just a belief to keep them persevering.

“Senior Brother is still thinking about growing the flower?”

A fairy came over.

She looked young, with big eyes that sparkled with liveliness.

Overall, she had a comforting presence.

“Junior Sister, what brings you here?” Xuanyuan Tai asked.

“It’s all because Senior Brother has been keeping an eye on Tianyin Sect. I heard that people from Mingyue Sect have left,” Xuanyuan He said with a sigh.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Tai suddenly asked, “There must be a reason for Mingyue Sect to visit Tianyin Sect. Does our sect’s senior plan to pay them a visit?”

“How could that be possible?”

Xuanyuan He shook his head, “We don’t get along with Tianyin Sect. If it weren’t for other reasons, we might even attack them to prevent their misdeeds in the vicinity.”

Sects usually don’t resort to fighting without a significant cause.

However, Tianyin Sect had been quite active in the past, even directly attacking Tianqing Mountain.

Therefore, they considered suppressing Tianyin Sect. But it was too far away, and since every sect has its own affairs to attend to, no one went to Tianyin Sect.

“Is that so?”

Xuanyuan Tai stood up, looking at the seeds with a hint of helplessness, “Let’s wait and see if there’s any new information. If there’s no solution in these years, I plan to leave the sect to find one.”

“Leave the sect? Where does Senior Brother plan to go?” Xuanyuan He asked anxiously.

“I can’t tell you for now.”

“Can Senior Brother not be so hasty? I’ve recently found some ancient books that might contain relevant information.”

“Let’s wait. I didn’t say I would leave immediately.”

“Alright, then I’ll go back and look through the ancient books again. Maybe there will be more to find.”
