Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Appraisal Results

With the divine ability Daily Appraisal, Jiang Hao had appraised many things.

From large houses and mountains to small flowers and trees, he had tried it all.

The only thing he had not appraised was a person.

In his subjective consciousness, people could not be appraised.

But now, the situation in front of him was confusing, so an appraisal wouldn’t be a bad thing.

As the divine ability activated, invisible symbols flashed across his eyes, and soon after, the symbols reflected the image of Senior Sister in front of him.

In just an instant, a stream of information fed back from the divine ability, projecting into his mind.

‘Effective.’ Jiang Hao was delighted inside and immediately checked the message from the divine ability.

But as soon as he saw it, his heart tightened, sensing great danger.

【Yun Ruo: Early Foundation Establishment, inner disciple of the Luoxia Sect, undercover in the Tianyin Sect, tasked with finding the whereabouts of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. Her identity is about to be exposed, and she urgently needs a scapegoat. Seeing that you do not act like a Demon Sect disciple, she has set her sights on you as a suitable candidate. She is currently using charm techniques on you, attempting to influence your mind so that you willingly become a scapegoat. If she fails, she will kill you to silence you.】

How malicious, it was said he didn’t resemble a Demon Sect disciple, yet he was still being targeted for death.

Jiang Hao thought to himself without showing any reaction.

The jade pendant was right in front of him, to take it would mean death on her behalf, not to take it would mean facing her poisonous hands.

The former was certain death, the latter, with her years of Foundation Establishment, surely had many methods, and a direct confrontation would be hard to win.

“Then…”

Jiang Hao’s thoughts raced as he pretended to reach for the jade pendant.

Just as he was about to touch it, he suddenly looked past Senior Sister Yun Ruo and exclaimed in shock.

“M-Master?”

Hearing this, Senior Sister Yun Ruo was greatly startled and immediately turned to look behind her, with a spiritual sword appearing in her hand.

Not only that, but a breath of energy also locked onto Jiang Hao, intending to use him as a shield to escape a calamity.

The jade pendant was already out, and now whoever died first, the pendant would belong to them.

“Master, Jiang Hao is the traitor, he…”

Just as Senior Sister Yun Ruo was about to accuse him first and then strike to kill, she suddenly froze.

Because there was no one behind her.

Oh no… By the time she realized it, it was already too late.

At that moment, dagger from her right side strikes towards her with lightning speed.

Pfft!

In an instant, Jiang Hao’s hand, holding the dagger, pierced into Fairy Yun Ruo’s neck.

He aimed to kill her on the spot.

If he couldn’t win head-on, he’d compensate with a surprise attack.

He had no intention of harming others, nor did he target anyone deliberately.

He just wanted to survive.

Since she wanted to kill him, he would show no mercy.

Bang!

The moment the dagger pierced her, Fairy Yun Ruo cast a spell and sent Jiang Hao flying back.

“You…”

Jiang Hao’s decisiveness shocked her.

During the days they spent together, she could see Jiang Hao’s kind nature and thought he was a naive newcomer who would sooner or later die in the Tianyin Sect.

She didn’t expect that beneath his gentle appearance, he could be so ruthless.

Facing Senior Sister Yun Ruo’s astonishment, Jiang Hao didn’t speak but drew his spirit sword to finish her off.

She was hit in a vital spot and her strength was greatly reduced, but she was still far from death.

For a moment, swords clashed and sparks flew.

Bang!

Due to her severe injuries, Yun Ruo was defeated and sent flying into the courtyard.

She fell to the ground, clutching her neck in terror as she watched Jiang Hao approach, and said in a panic,

“Junior Brother, you can’t kill me. The Pavilion Master of Tianhuan Pavilion values me highly and has been coveting my body. He hasn’t had me yet; if you kill me, he will certainly hold a grudge.”

Jiang Hao ignored her words and struck down with his sword beside Senior Sister Yun Ruo.

“I am still a disciple of the Luoxia Sect. If I die at your hands, the Senior Brothers who are infatuated with me won’t let you go. You will be skinned and deboned…”

Whoosh!

Down came the sword.

All was quiet.

Just in case, he stabbed a few more times.

Looking at the Senior Sister who was now dead, Jiang Hao felt uncomfortable.

He wasn’t used to this kind of thing.

But in the Demon Sect, even if it’s uncomfortable, one must adapt.

The cultivation world won’t give you time to adapt just because you’re uncomfortable.

After standing still for a long time, making sure she wouldn’t play dead or have any tricks up her sleeve, he finally stepped out.

…….

He went to find the master of Duanqing Cliff.

That is, the master he had paid respects to when he entered the sect.

Since he was not a true disciple, he could only listen to his master’s teachings at set times along with other disciples.

Much of the cultivation still depended on himself.

At first, he didn’t want to report the incident, but the more he hid it, the more it indicated he had a problem.

Especially since the other party had already been targeted, if he was determined to be an accomplice, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After a while, Jiang Hao brought the body to the courtyard.

“Did you kill her?”

A middle-aged man looked down at Fairy Yun Ruo, who lay motionless on the ground, and asked softly.

This man had a gloomy face and cold eyes, showing signs of a hard life.

He was the master of Duanqing Cliff, Ku Wuchang.

“It was me,” Jiang Hao said with his head lowered.

“Tell me the process,” Ku Wuchang said with a stern voice.

“It went like this…”

Jiang Hao recounted the general process, then continued,

“I originally tried to control Senior Sister, but she fought back desperately, so I had to fight back desperately, and then…”

Ku Wuchang, as gloomy as ever, said,

“When did you reach the Foundation Establishment stage?”

“Last month,” Jiang Hao replied nervously.

“So you chose to ambush?”

“Yes.”

“You don’t need to worry about this matter anymore. If there are any other issues, the people from the Hall of Enforcement will probably look for you. Remember to cooperate with them.”

After speaking, Ku Wuchang took Senior Sister Yun Ruo away.

Watching them leave, Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

“I don’t know how Tianhuan Pavilion will react, and as for the Luoxia Sect, it’s fine as long as I don’t go out.”

“In ten or a hundred years, they should forget about Senior Sister Yun Ruo.”

“Even if they don’t forget, I will have become stronger.”
