Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 60

Chapter 60: Don’t Anger Me

Walking all the way to the mine, Jiang Hao could feel Yan Hua’s gaze on him.

It was so obvious that he turned around to look.

He saw Yan Hua smiling at him, as if she was revealing her feelings to someone she was fond of.

Jiang Hao nodded slightly and entered the mine.

Being watched like that felt terrible, and he always had the impression that Senior Sister Yan Hua’s thoughts were somewhat twisted.

He couldn’t quite put his finger on it, but that was the feeling he got.

Reaching the depths of the mine, Jiang Hao looked around and found a spot that seemed unlikely to collapse and said,

“Let’s start digging from here today.”

No one objected because digging in different directions could yield different results.

Sometimes you might not find anything good in one direction, but switching to another might prove fruitful.

As the mining began, Jiang Hao glanced at Situ Jian and his group unintentionally and noticed that their positions were a bit unusual.

They were spread out, standing beside some of the captives, including the woman he had cut.

It looked like she was also a target for rescue.

“I wonder if they will cause me trouble,” he thought to himself.

After withdrawing his gaze, Jiang Hao pondered.

He didn’t care about trouble outside the sect because he had no plans to go out anytime soon, at least not until the Tianhuan Pavilion issue was resolved.

By then, if someone wanted to trouble him, they wouldn’t be able to find him.

What he worried about was that during the chaos, that woman might prompt Situ Jian and the others to try to kill him.

That would be a big problem. He would have to deal with Situ Jian and the others, be wary of Yan Hua, and also be concerned about the people coming to their aid, which would be much more dangerous.

It would also make it easier for his abilities to be exposed to the Tianyin Sect.

By then, it would be the beginning of a nightmare.

So, he needed to be careful.

As soon as the chaos started, he had to watch whether Situ Jian and his group would make a move against him.

If they did, he would have to strike first.

The Demon Sound Slash would stun everyone, and then he would use the Primordial Heaven Saber to eliminate the enemies.

He would have to clear out all these people in the shortest time possible. But this was a last resort; he hoped they wouldn’t take the wrong path.

Without further thought, Jiang Hao picked up his hoe and began to mine.

Although he didn’t know when the people on the other side would attack, he couldn’t waste any time.

At that moment, Situ Jian used a secret technique to send a message to Ren Shuang.

“Junior Sister Ren, I’m warning you again, I’m here to rescue people, remember that it’s me who’s rescuing you. If you dare to command me, if you dare to say one word of nonsense, I will leave you behind. See if you can ever get out of here in this lifetime.”

“When I take you away, you must not say a word. After we get out, you can do whatever you want, but before that, your life is in my hands. Others may indulge you, but don’t anger me.”

Ren Shuang kept her head down and continued to mine, not daring to say a word.

If she could, she would have preferred someone else to rescue her. Because Situ Jian meant what he said, and his status was much higher than hers.

……

Noon.

Yan Hua looked up at the sky with a smile, then started walking towards the mine.

No one knew what she was planning to do, and no one dared to ask.

Inside the mine, everyone was resting.

Situ Jian and his group were sitting near the entrance.

Ren Shuang was also there, looking down with some nervousness.

Not only her, but some of the Qi Refining cultivators nearby also seemed tense, as if they all knew that today was the day to escape.

The opportunity could come at any moment.

Shangguan Wen and the others were much more composed, as they had made their preparations.

Inside, Jiang Hao, who had been sitting and resting, suddenly felt a vibration of spiritual energy.

It was very subtle, but it was definitely there.

“It’s coming,” he thought, gripping his Half-Moon blade, ready for action.

At the same time…

Boom!

A loud noise erupted outside, and the entire mine shook, with some areas even collapsing.

Fortunately, the area where Jiang Hao and the others were was much more fortified and was not greatly affected.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao stood up, wanting to leave immediately because Yan Hua was coming.

He didn’t want to have to kill Yan Hua here. Of course, he was also worried that Situ Jian and the others might make their move.

Then he would have to act before everyone else.

However, Situ Jian was also quick. He tore off a talisman and began to retreat with the people around him.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, it seems a bit chaotic outside, we’ll go take a look, no need to see us off,” Situ Jian and his group disappeared from the mine directly.

Seeing that they didn’t linger, Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, as this also bought him some time.

The shaking stopped, and everyone looked around in confusion.

Wu Jing was a bit angry, seeing that Situ Jian and the others actually dared to run.

However, just as he was about to pursue them, Jiang Hao stopped him.

“Stay here and watch the miners. Something big must have happened outside. I’ll go take a look and wait for my message.”

After speaking, Jiang Hao didn’t wait to see if Wu Jing nodded and disappeared from their sight at the first opportunity.

Situ Jian and his group were heading towards the outside of the mine through a certain path.

He moved to a position off to the side.

When identifying Bei Xue’s location, he knew the path she was aware of.

All he had to do was avoid that path.

He couldn’t go towards the mine pit, nor too far outside; if nothing unexpected happened, Yan Hua would definitely be on the road.

Therefore, he had to head to the other complex mine tunnels as soon as possible, where he could advance or retreat as necessary.

……

Not long after Jiang Hao left, Yan Hua appeared before Wu Jing and the others.

“Manager Yan, Manager Yan,” Wu Jing hurriedly greeted her.

Yan Hua looked around and noticed that quite a few people were missing.

Of course, she didn’t care about that; what she cared about was that the person she was looking for was gone.

“Where’s Jiang Hao?” she asked.

“Senior Brother Jiang said he went out to check the situation and told us to wait here,” Wu Jing answered truthfully.

“Is that so?” Yan Hua said with a smile.

“Then continue waiting. You’re not allowed to leave before he returns.”

“Yes, yes,” Wu Jing nodded in agreement, intimidated by her smile.
